893: Hiding one's head and revealing one's tail is shameful.
Two warships sailed down.
The people on the warships flew down and arrived at a pavilion next to Xie Weilou and Ye Chuzhi.
...
Xie Weilou poured a glass of fine wine, feeling a cold gaze upon him.
He casually looked over, seeing Young Master Shang staring at him with sharp eyes.
Xie Weilou smiled and paid him no mind. He was just a clown; if he didn't know his place, This Xie would simply grant his wish when the time came!
"I heard that the First Prince encountered a powerful enemy in Upper City previously? I heard that person's surname was This Xie? It seems he was called Weak?"
A purple-robed man from Zhongzhou Academy looked at Ye Lingxu and spoke, feigning surprise.
...
Ye Lingxu's mouth twitched, leaving him somewhat speechless.
Naturally, he would not speak about the matter of him being beaten up.
But there was no helping it; he had two big-mouthed guards, and many things could not be kept secret.
The purple-robed man smiled and said, "Recently, a fellow named Xie Weilou has suddenly emerged in the Eastern Desolate, possessing extremely formidable means. I heard he seems to have already arrived in Zhongzhou. A few days ago, he massacred the Barbarian God Clan army in Beiliang City, trespassed on Barbarian God Mountain, and executed many Barbarian God Clan Experts."
"It's more than just that. That Xie Weilou appeared in Sword Emperor City before and even ascended to the eighteenth floor of the Sword Pavilion."
Another person spoke, "Coincidentally, recently, a Mr. Xie Changan appeared in Eastern Desolate City, and a Mysterious Person named Weak also showed up."
"How can there be so many coincidences? In my opinion, all these people surnamed This Xie are the same person—that Xie Weilou!"
The purple-robed man continued.
His voice was not quiet; everyone present heard it, as if he were deliberately speaking for Xie Weilou's benefit.
"Xie Weilou? He is just an ant, merely a fellow who relies on trump cards to commit crimes everywhere. If we truly compare actual strength, what is he even?"
Yuan Yaochen of Heaven Mending Sect was filled with disdain.
"Fellow Daoist Yuan, please be careful with your words! That Xie Weilou might be among us."
The purple-robed man said meaningfully.
"Hmm? Someone surnamed This Xie is among us?"
Yuan Yaochen raised his eyebrow.
The purple-robed man's gaze fell upon Xie Weilou: "I heard Your Excellency is also surnamed This Xie, calls himself Xie Changan, and is currently a Mr. of Hongru Academy. I suspect Your Excellency is that Xie Weilou!"
As soon as he said this, the eyes of everyone in the pavilion fell upon Xie Weilou.
"Xie Changan? Xie Weilou?"
Everyone scrutinized Xie Weilou, a hint of surprise and uncertainty showing in their eyes.
...
Ye Linghuang, Ye Anlan, and Ye Cangxiao looked at Xie Weilou, their expressions indescribably strange.
Longevity Saintess stared at Xie Weilou and thought to herself, "It's probably that hateful fellow. No wonder he feels strangely familiar!"
After arriving at Eastern Desolate City, she had heard some rumors. Combining all the circumstances, it was highly likely that this Xie Changan was that Xie Weilou fellow.
"Is that him?"
Imperial Abyss's gaze fell upon Xie Weilou, causing her to frown slightly as she subconsciously recalled the scene where Xie Weilou had seen her naked.
Xie Weilou looked at the purple-robed man and smiled faintly, saying, "I am Xie Changan, an elegant Mr. who teaches at Hongru Academy. I only dabble in the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. As for this 'Xie Weilou' you speak of, I have never heard of him. Please do not slander me casually."
"Is this slander? Your Excellency is Xie Weilou. Why the need to hide? Such secretive behavior is truly shameful!"
The purple-robed man looked amused.
Xie Weilou chuckled lightly. He smiled and asked, "May I know Your Excellency's distinguished name?"
The purple-robed man spoke proudly: "Zizheng of Zhongzhou Academy. My Master is the Venerable of Shuyuan Peak!"
"Zizheng? I haven't heard of him. It seems he's just a nobody."
Xie Weilou shook his head.
"You..."
Zizheng's Face darkened, his eyes becoming extremely grim.
Although Zizheng might not be as talented as the heavenly prodigies of the Academy, he held considerable fame within the Academy, and his cultivation had reached the Guixu Realm Late Stage.
More importantly, his Master was a high and mighty Venerable.
Xie Weilou shrugged: "This Xie truly cannot figure out why an ant-like existence like you dares to bark wildly in front of me. After thinking it over, perhaps you've simply lived long enough. Since that is the case, This Xie will send you on your way."
Zizheng was startled. He trembled and said, "Man surnamed This Xie, do not court disaster. If you dare to touch me, you will be starting a war with the Academy. My Master will certainly not let you off."
As he spoke, he subconsciously looked toward Young Master Shang and the others.
The reason he dared to speak to Xie Weilou with such Yin and Yang sarcasm earlier was naturally because someone had instigated him.
...
Young Master Shang raised an eyebrow but had no intention of speaking up.
Seeing this, Yuan Yaochen stepped out directly and looked down at Xie Weilou: "You are that Xie Weilou? Allow me to introduce myself. I am Yuan Yaochen, a Disciple of Heaven Mending Sect. This Junior Brother from Zhongzhou Academy merely spoke a few words, yet you intend to strike? This is truly improper! Why not give Yuan a Face and let him go?"
Boom!
Xie Weilou squeezed hard, and Zizheng was instantly crushed into a mist of blood, utterly dead. He looked at Yuan Yaochen: "Give you Face? What are you?"
...
The expressions of the Zhongzhou Academy members changed; Xie Weilou's actions were so decisive and ruthless.
"Heh!"
Ye Lingxu, however, smiled playfully, feeling that Zizheng's death was well-deserved.
If the man truly was Xie Weilou, he dared to assassinate even a Saint. What pressure would he feel killing a mere Disciple of Zhongzhou Academy?
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if this Xie Changan was not Xie Weilou, he still managed to execute General of the Creation Realm and dared to slaughter the son of Marquis Zhenyu. These two points alone meant he was not someone ordinary people could provoke.
This Zizheng was also an idiot, willingly letting himself be used as a spear. Someone merely instigated him slightly, and he immediately stepped forward. Wasn't he just seeking death?
"How bold!"
Cold light flashed in Yuan Yaochen's eyes, and a Kou Gong might erupted, instantly locking onto Xie Weilou.
...
Longevity Saintess glanced at Yuan Yaochen, a hint of mockery deep in her eyes.
Although this Yuan Yaochen had entered the Kou Gong Realm, he hadn't even reached the Extreme State when he was in the Guixu Realm.
How dare a person like this provoke Xie Weilou? Wasn't he just seeking death? She truly didn't know who gave him such confidence!
Let alone a mere Yuan Yaochen, even She, having entered the Extreme State and stepped into the Kou Gong Realm, had no confidence facing Xie Weilou. Only those who had truly fought Xie Weilou could understand how terrifying he was.
"It seems you want to die too."
Xie Weilou's smile deepened.
Yuan Yaochen moved, appearing on the plaza. He looked down at Xie Weilou: "Xie Weilou, without using your trump cards, do you dare to fight me fairly?"
"This guy is done for!"
Ye Linghuang muttered to herself.
If Yuan Yaochen had been to Sword Emperor City and witnessed Xie Weilou make his move, he probably wouldn't dare to say such a thing.
Did he truly think Xie Weilou only relied on trump cards?
