126: Xuanji Pavilion, Wang Qing

“You beasts dare to come and kick us while we're down? Are you even worthy!”

Already fuming with rage, how could the ambush of those birds and beasts escape the detection of the Luan Ying Four Sons and the others?

Swallowing pills to restore their chaotic Qi Seas, before those beasts could strike while the enemy was weak, the Luan Ying Four Sons took the initiative.

In an instant, Yin Qi spread. All the birds and beasts around the Luan Ying Four Sons were invaded by Yin Qi. Then, their bodies turned into frost bit by bit, eventually scattering with the wind without a trace. It was terrifyingly powerful.

These Luan Ying Four Sons were like completely different people compared to when they fought Xu Xi.

Ultimately, Xu Xi was too powerful. How can you compete with a player using cheats? Did you think you were a pay-to-win player?

“First, go find that Cauldron and bring it back, otherwise it will be hard to explain the matter of the Holy Child.”

“As for Xu Xi, we will cross paths again; we have plenty of opportunities to play with him slowly. The Xuanjian Sect is just a tiny Sect. How can a Sect that has long lost its past glory contend with the flourishing Xuanyin Sect?”

Looking at the Killing Intent-filled Luan Ji, Luan Xiu did not advise him to stay calm as usual, because Luan Xiu's heart was also far from peaceful.

If it weren't for the need to stay calm in front of his other brothers, he would probably have been the first to vent.

To maintain composure at all times, Luan Xiu had to adjust his mindset much more than the others.

Currently, Xu Xi is powerful, and they cannot contend with him. At least, within the Juefeng Secret Realm, they cannot go head-to-head with Xu Xi and can only rely on the Sect's residual prestige.

The reason they joined a Sect like the Xuanyin Sect was precisely for this.

Having a backer is something all cultivators long for. The Luan Ying Four Sons have potential and are worth the backer's protection.

The Xuanyin Sect would not allow four such geniuses to be insulted at will. If killing Xu Xi could stabilize the four's Dao Hearts, the Sect Leader of the Xuanyin Sect would eliminate Xu Xi without hesitation.

Just an Entering Profundity expert; the starting point for the Luan Ying Four Sons is Entering Profundity. Entering the Dao is their foundation. If possible, they might even step into a Realm like He Dao.

This is the true reliance of the Xuanyin Sect.

“Mm, I understand. Find the Cauldron first. I have plenty of time to play with Xu Xi slowly.”

“Disguise, right? Who doesn't know how to do that?”

After hearing Luan Xiu's words, Luan Ji felt much more balanced. While venting his anger by killing those beasts, he also calmed down, speaking huffily.

At the same time, Luan Xiu's appearance underwent an earth-shattering change in an instant—it was Xu Xi's appearance!

In his speech, Luan Ji was infuriated by Xu Xi's act of disguising himself as Yi Zhusheng to gather information. Otherwise, he wouldn't have set up such a brilliant Formation like the Suspension Array to ambush Xu Xi for that reason.

Since their debut, the Luan Ying Four Sons had never encountered such a predicament.

“Senior Brother, your calculations are really accurate. Interesting things really did happen here.”

Back at the place where the battle between Xu Xi and the Luan Ying Four Sons broke out, although Xu Xi and the others had left, two figures appeared after their departure.

One tall and one short. The tall one wore a green robe, with long black hair flowing down. His handsome face was not inferior to that of a peerless beauty.

If not for the address of the short youth beside him, many people would have mistaken him for a woman.

The face of the relatively shorter youth was the same, looking somewhat green due to his young age—the type that looks like he'd cry with one punch.

“Of course. Look who calculated it. Your Senior Brother, in terms of Calculating Heavenly Secrets, is the undisputed number one among the younger generation.”

“Tell me, besides those old fogies in the Sect, how many can compare to me?”

“Unfortunately, they just had to send me to Youzhou to participate in the Juefeng Secret Realm. Fine, I'm here, and I can collect intelligence, which kills two birds with one stone. But the message they suddenly sent yesterday...”

“Are they even human? Even beasts can't work twenty-four/seven, can they? All my previous acting, pretending to be so serious, was for nothing. I have to show my hand after all.”

Being flattered by the youth beside him, the young man looked smug. That confident expression was exactly how a dashing young man should look.

The two who appeared one after another were Disciples of the Mystic Cipher Pavilion from the Central Plains.

The one called Senior Brother was named Wang Qing, and the “little dwarf” behind him was his Junior Brother, Ma Junqi.

As Disciples of the Mystic Cipher Pavilion, they were best at divination, gathering intelligence, and refining artifacts to create mechanisms.

Long after entering the Secret Realm, Wang Qing began his first divination, calculating repeatedly. Although he didn't quite understand how they blocked the Luan Ying Four Sons' ambush, Wang Qing was very happy.

Another competitor has appeared in the world. At least, on the road to the peak, Wang Qing wouldn't care.

He was confident that among the younger generation, he was the most capable.

“Mm, Senior Brother Wang's calculations are indeed very accurate.”

“But... Senior Brother, can you change back? Isn't it better to pretend to be quiet and refined?”

“I still miss the way you were before entering the Secret Realm...”

Ma Junqi agreed wholeheartedly with Wang Qing's words, but as he spoke, he veered off-topic, leaning towards flattery.

Knowing exactly what his Junior Brother's usual attitude was, Wang Qing didn't show any reaction. After seeing many new things, one can always find the key point at once.

Stepping forward to investigate, smelling the scent left after the great battle, Wang Qing gradually observed the battle traces on the scene and quickly noticed something.

“First, go to the Yunqi Platform. The Legacy there is similar to the Legacy in our Sect. If we can find a bit of Opportunity,”

“it wouldn't be bad.”

Quickly arranging the next plan, although he knew what Xu Xi and the others had done here and had gathered rich intelligence, Wang Qing of the Mystic Cipher Pavilion laughed, indicating no pressure. He'd just play his part and not waste words.

Heading towards the same destination as Xu Xi, this was the deduction Wang Qing had made.

In the dark, Wang Qing and Xu Xi were destined to meet!

...“Yunqi Platform is a bit desolate. Is it really this terrifying after being swept by Devilish Qi?”

While the outside world was in turmoil, on the way to the Yunqi Platform, Xu Xi had seen many looting incidents. Adhering to the principle of not looking for trouble but not fearing it, Xu Xi watched silently as criminals killed their teammates, then prepared to sell the info to those old bastards outside the Sect!

It's not expensive; for only 10,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, you can get the status of your Sect's Genius within the Secret Realm. Isn't that a steal?

At least, Xu Xi, the intelligence dealer, thought it wasn't expensive.

Little did he know, while Xu Xi was making his clever plans, he ignored that this time, people from the Mystic Cipher Pavilion had also come. Selling intelligence?

Sorry, don't use your amateur hobby to challenge my profession. How embarrassing!
