107: Xuanjian Sect? A shady sect, I don't know...

Showing remorse for his deceptive actions, Xu Xi revealed the reasons for his disguise, emphasizing his sincerity!

He had originally intended to draw hatred towards Yi Zhusheng, and so far, it seemed Xu Xi had done a decent job.

At the very least, those on Right Prime Minister's side had completely vented all their anger on Yi Zhusheng.

If they sought trouble in the future, they would seek Yi Zhusheng.

Furthermore, Xu Xi had used a favor with the Luan Yin Four Sons, and Yi Zhusheng was now heavily indebted.

“Let me reintroduce myself: I am Xu Xi, the sixth personal disciple of the Xuanjian Sect in Youzhou.”

Bowing again, and speaking once more with Xie Qingzhou, Xu Xi felt it was time to tell Xie Qingzhou his true identity.

After all, if Xie Qingzhou were to truly eagerly seek cooperation with Yi Zhusheng when the Juefeng Secret Realm opened...

Then Xu Xi could only offer an apology.

Because at that time, the real Xie Qingzhou, upon learning the truth, would directly hunt down Xie Qingzhou.

If something unfortunate were to happen then, Xu Xi would be a complete villain.

It wouldn't matter if Xie Qingzhou died; the important thing was not to implicate the junior sister by Xie Qingzhou's side!

With 70 points of favorability, Xu Xi only needed 30 more points to initiate combat and claim the reward.

“It's not too late to know now; I understand what I need to do.”

Bowing with a smile, and understanding Xu Xi's actions, Xie Qingzhou then departed, knowing what attitude to maintain when the Juefeng Secret Realm began.

“I never expected Brother Xu to possess such abilities; I am truly impressed to the extreme!”

To the side, the four members of Purple Cloud Sect, who had been silently observing, now recovered from their panic.

They bowed in response to Xu Xi, but in their hearts, they now held a slight disdain for Xu Xi's true identity.

If it were Yi Zhusheng of Thunderclap Pavilion, they would at least be a first-rate sect in Zhongzhou, enough to earn the respect of the four Purple Cloud Sect members, but if it was Xuanjian Sect... sorry, a wild chicken sect, they didn't know it.

Oh, you mean one of the three great sects of Youzhou, the one whose Sect Master just died a while ago?

Various thoughts flashed through the minds of the four Purple Cloud Sect members, but Xu Xi didn't notice their slight disdain.

He was still immersed in the reluctance of Roufu's departure, his eyes filled with tender affection, making anyone who didn't know truly believe Xu Xi was deeply in love.

“Only 30 points of favorability left, it's a pity. If I had given a little more food, I should have been able to secure it smoothly, then take the reward and return to Xuanjian Sect. Now I still need to wait for the Juefeng Secret Realm to open.”

The feeling of a fat sheep escaping after being within reach was not pleasant.

Withdrawing his unwilling gaze, Xu Xi watched Xie Qingzhou's departing back, then looked at the servants and said indifferently, “Now we can go back.”

“Finally, we can leave. It was a bumpy journey, thrilling and exciting, but next time I really don't want to be tormented again.”

“Elder Tang too, if she hadn't taken Senior Sister Ling away, why would we have fallen into such a predicament...”

Upon hearing Xu Xi's words, the four Purple Cloud Sect members also showed joyful expressions, excitedly embracing each other.

Having survived a calamity, they naturally held such feelings. The four Purple Cloud Sect members subtly complained about Tang Wan, yet completely failed to notice the subtle change in Xu Xi's expression at that moment.

“Talking ill of my woman to her face, you guys have some issues...”

“But since you didn't know, I'll forgive you this time. Don't do it again next time.”

Transforming into a forgiving hero, Xu Xi didn't show much emotion. The group quickly departed, traveling day and night, rushing towards Xuanjian Sect.

Meanwhile, at Zhe Xian Residence, after the bodies left behind were cleaned up by Xu Xi, no traces remained. The dead loyalists sent by Right Prime Minister diligently cleaned up every single trace left by the criminals.

This grand battle ultimately concluded and ended within Zhe Xian Residence.

Although Right Prime Minister of the Zhao Dynasty was furious upon learning of the matter, scolding his subordinates for not being able to handle such a small task.

However, what followed was terror.

Kidnapping the Purple Cloud Sect members was already an extremely risky endeavor.

Believing his plan to be flawless and impossible to go wrong, Right Prime Minister had dared to act.

Now, with the four Purple Cloud Sect members having escaped, the Zhao Dynasty had to face the wrath of a top sect from Zhongzhou.

“Damn it, damn it!”

“Why did you let them escape? The Vulture Fiend Trio, three Ru Xuan experts, could do it. Although you three are not Ru Xuan, with your combined formation as the core, you could still fight them.”

Why on earth did the four juniors of Purple Cloud Sect escape?

In the Zhao Dynasty, at his mansion, Right Prime Minister was seething with anger, scolding his returning subordinates without question.

His face was grim, his already somewhat aged features looking even more malicious at this moment.

In the Zhao Dynasty, after the unfortunate death of the former emperor, the current Emperor Zhao ascended the throne, but his position was not very stable.

Right Prime Minister held control of the government, and his grand scheme, painstakingly laid out over many years, was about to be completed.

Through years of currying favor, Right Prime Minister was confident in launching a coup, overthrowing the current emperor, and taking the throne above all others.

However, he unexpectedly learned of Emperor Zhao's long-lost imperial son, which naturally made Right Prime Minister anxious.

One major reason Right Prime Minister could persuade those court officials was that Emperor Zhao currently had no heir. If Right Prime Minister were to personally govern, there would not be much difference.

But if Ye Gou appeared, everything would become a variable. Right Prime Minister knew that at that time, a large portion of people would turn against him, disrupting his plans.

Therefore, Right Prime Minister went to great lengths, even offending Purple Cloud Sect, to eliminate Ye Gou.

“This...”

“Lord Right Prime Minister, you can't blame us entirely for this!”

“Originally, the four Purple Cloud Sect members had fled in a panic and ended up in Zhe Xian Residence.”

“Our people could have directly captured them, but unexpectedly, Yi Zhusheng of Thunderclap Pavilion and Xie Qingzhou of Hun Yuan Sect were also present.”

“Especially Yi Zhusheng, who directly used the life-saving jade talisman bestowed upon him by Thunderclap Pavilion, which caused our people to return empty-handed and even perish in Zhe Xian Residence.”

After being severely reprimanded by Right Prime Minister, the several people, who were already adept at prostrating themselves on the ground, also defended themselves, seeking a glimmer of hope.

They naturally understood that mistakes lead to punishment, and if the punishment could be lighter, they would suffer less pain.

Trembling, they finished their defense, prostrated on the ground, silently praying in their hearts that Right Prime Minister, that old man, would shift his anger to Thunderclap Pavilion and Hun Yuan Sect.

Especially Hun Yuan Sect!

Thunderclap Pavilion was also a first-rate sect in Zhongzhou, which the Zhao Dynasty couldn't afford to offend, but Hun Yuan Sect was, after all, a sect within the Zhao Dynasty. Although the old sect master of Hun Yuan Sect had some strength, making Right Prime Minister wary.
