15: What is your identity and what is my status?
“No wonder he was killed by those traitors in his own sect. If he didn't die, who would?”
With a scornful smile, Jiang Chengyun truly didn't put Ye Liufeng in his eyes.
And rightly so, since the man was already dead, he could mock him however he pleased.
“Since the Xuanjian Sect is sending Personal Disciples for a trial, then we will also send our disciples.”
“Anyway, the Juefeng Secret Realm is about to open. Using this as a trial wouldn't be a bad idea.”
“Give the order: the ten Personal Disciples will each lead a small team, targeting those disciples of the Xuanjian Sect.”
“Whoever kills the most will be first.”
“The top 5 will qualify to enter the Juefeng Secret Realm.”
“As for the distribution of rewards, you can handle that yourselves.”
“The only standard is that it cannot be worse than the Xuanjian Sect's.”
With a chilling smile in his heart, he hadn't expected the Xuanjian Sect, on the verge of death, to still possess such courage, which earned him a bit of admiration.
But admiration aside, what needed to be killed, still had to be killed.
Having immediately thought of countermeasures, Jiang Chengyun wasn't planning any schemes, but rather a direct head-on confrontation.
Jiang Chengyun had full confidence in the strength of his sect's disciples.
“Yes, Sect Master, I will arrange it right away.”
Nodding in agreement, Yang Jing immediately set about making arrangements.
Subsequently, a large number of Xiaoyao Sect disciples set out, arriving at the territory governed by the Xuanjian Sect...
“Senior Brother Xu, I'll trouble you to lead the team this time. Yaqian will follow all your arrangements.”
Zhao Yaqian looked at Xu Xi with alluring eyes, having given her all just for this day.
Meanwhile, within the Elder Peak of the Xuanjian Sect, Xu Xi had already selected the people he would lead.
Besides Zhao Yaqian, the others were also his trusted subordinates of many years, whose loyalty was assured.
Once everyone was assembled, Xu Xi also called upon Ye Xueqing's team, and they were ready to depart the mountain.
Along the way, Zhao Yaqian was incredibly proactive towards Xu Xi, openly throwing herself into his arms and such, which made the other disciples genuinely envious.
What is life, this is truly life!
“Junior Brother Xu, walking so fast, are you in a hurry to reincarnate?”
“With only Spirit Opening Realm strength, you still want to be the first to rush out of the sect.”
“Don't get utterly annihilated if you encounter those people from the Xiaoyao Sect.”
They hadn't even left the sect yet, but uninvited guests had already arrived.
Xu Xi could already smell the strong scent of gunpowder from a great distance.
A figure appeared, burly, clad in a thin outer garment, with visible abdominal muscles—fitting Xu Xi's stereotype of simple-minded, strong-bodied people.
Facing Xu Xi, the muscular man rushing over had such an arrogant expression that one would think he was the villain.
“Hmm, Qian Guantong?”
“What is your status, and what is mine?”
“Are you even worthy of speaking to me like that?”
Xu Xi had always been intolerant of those who relied on their glib tongues.
His condescending attitude, with just a few simple words, had already caused Qian Guantong opposite him to completely break down, his face flushed red with immense shame.
“You're nothing more than a sycophant trying to curry favor for more elixirs. Do you really think that by latching onto Elder Yang of Medicine King Peak, he'll give you a few more elixirs?”
“Don't be foolish. When you're sold out, you'll still be counting money for them.”
“That good-for-nothing Yang Siyi is simply beyond redemption.”
“You're with him, be careful he doesn't get you killed, and you'll die with your eyes open.”
Continuing to speak, Xu Xi, with his Blue Star buff, had a reserve of trash talk that no one could rival.
Furthermore, Xu Xi would not give the other party any face, directly attacking them head-on, tearing off their fig leaf, and then urinating on it for good measure.
“You...”
“Sharp-tongued fellow!”
“This is only within the sect; otherwise, you'd already be beaten by me.”
“Let's see if you're still so smug after leaving the sect!”
Having his thoughts directly exposed, Qian Guantong's face was already flushed red, and now it turned purple.
To some extent, he had achieved something many on Blue Star wished to do but couldn't.
However, looking at Xu Xi in front of him, Qian Guantong couldn't bring himself to directly hit him.
Because his own strength wasn't enough to defeat the opponent in one blow.
If he were to casually make a move within the sect and be seen by someone from Law Enforcement Peak, he would be arrested and punished.
Light punishment meant copying the Sect Laws a few times; heavy punishment meant a month in jail.
A poor fellow like Qian Guantong, who sucked up to a dissolute person like Yang Siyi for resources, was unwilling to endure such humiliation.
Therefore, even though he was incredibly angry, he could only swallow his pride.
After leaving the sect, he could freely attack Xu Xi.
As long as he didn't kill the other party, it would merely be a trivial matter.
“Oh?”
“You'll make a move once we leave the sect? Then you can try.”
“I'd like to see if you, the fourth Personal Disciple of the sect, still have your previous level of skill.”
“I've made progress during this time. Don't end up capsizing in a ditch, that would be truly laughable.”
Xu Xi completely disregarded the other party's threat; he didn't even consider the current situation because the other party's strength no longer caught his eye.
After speaking, he still led the others away, heading towards the sect's exit.
Xu Xi's target this time was a low-grade Spirit Stone Mine that had been seized from the Xuanjian Sect.
According to reports, the person the Xiaoyao Sect sent to seize the Spirit Stone Mine was a Spirit Refinement Realm peak deacon of the Xiaoyao Sect, whom Xu Xi could easily handle with his current strength.
And if he achieved such a feat, winning first place in this trial would undoubtedly be no problem.
“Junior Brother Qian, I advise you to be cautious in your words and actions.”
“Otherwise, I will not let you off.”
“Under the Frostbloom Sword, all treacherous villains shall be slain.”
After Xu Xi left, Ye Xueqing also departed, but before doing so, she glanced at Qian Guantong with a cold, murderous expression, unsure whether it was directed at Qian Guantong or Yang Siyi beside him.
“Senior Sister Ye, I have never offended you, have I?”
“What you said to me today has crossed a line.”
Looking at Ye Xueqing, Qian Guantong felt even more aggrieved.
If it were Xu Xi, he thought he still had a chance to deal with him.
But Ye Xueqing was stronger than him; the fact was that simple.
Since he couldn't beat her, he naturally had to back down.
He questioned her in disbelief, because in his impression, Ye Xueqing and Xu Xi had no interaction whatsoever.
Logically, Ye Xueqing wouldn't speak up for Xu Xi.
And even if it was because of the threatening words he had spoken earlier, the one who should have stepped forward to warn him should have been Xun Ya, the chief Personal Disciple and senior disciple of Law Enforcement Peak.
In any case, it wasn't Ye Xueqing's turn to warn him.
However, after Ye Xueqing spoke, she turned and left, not even hearing what Qian Guantong said, giving him no face at all.
