50: How dare you, a thief, disturb my righteousness!

As a rogue cultivator of the sect, who hadn't pledged allegiance to any elder as a lackey, Zhao Changge, like other inner court disciples, lived with them in the Gui Xin Hall area.

During this time, he often took on sect missions to exchange for cultivation resources.

Just now, after completing a mission and returning to Gui Xin Hall to rest, he unexpectedly witnessed this farce.

However, Zhao Changge felt puzzled by Xu Xi's decision to let it go.

In the past, Xu Xi was so arrogant; it wasn't as if he hadn't been provoked before.

But he always sought revenge on the spot, and if anything happened, his convenient old man would cover for him.

After being taken to Law Enforcement Peak, he would either be severely beaten and need time to recuperate, naturally returning to normal.

Or, if it was minor, he'd copy the sect's main laws a few times, and someone would always be willing to copy those few times for Xu Xi to gain his favor.

Therefore, Xu Xi's silence this time was somewhat strange.

If not killing Ye Yuchen was due to the sect's rules, even with Xu Jiayin backing him, it would be difficult to resolve.

But not beating the other party to vent his anger seemed a bit unreasonable.

“How about an ambush tonight? Maybe we can witness a truly grand spectacle...”

Suddenly, such a thought sprouted in his heart, and Zhao Changge felt he had guessed the truth.

As the saying goes, revenge doesn't wait overnight!

Although there's a saying that a gentleman's revenge isn't too late even after ten years, in Zhao Changge's heart, he never considered Xu Xi a gentleman; that guy was a complete and utter scoundrel.

“No, no!”

“How could I have such a dangerous thought?”

“How dare a thief disturb my Dao heart!”

The thought flashed and vanished, but he immediately stabilized his mindset. Zhao Changge had adhered to the path of 'lying low' for many years; how could his many years of composure be broken in an instant?

Such arrogant thoughts instantly vanished, and at the same time, his heart warned him never to entertain such ideas again... Night fell in the blink of an eye. In a trance, Xu Xi had already changed into his night-traveling clothes for murder and arson.

He set off from Elder Peak, avoiding the gaze of the sect's patrolling disciples along the way, heading straight for Ye Yuchen's residence in Gui Xin Hall.

“Are the patrolling disciples of Law Enforcement Peak so cautious? Why didn't I notice their defenses were so strict before?”

“You guys aren't targeting me, are you?”

He avoided all eyes along the way, but Xu Xi found that the patrols of Law Enforcement Peak were exceptionally tight today.

There was a huge difference compared to before.

“Even in the days when Ye Liufeng died, I didn't see the sect's law enforcement being this strong...”

And upon recalling Zhuge Zhengwo's attitude towards Xu Jiayin's lineage, Xu Xi seemed to have a guess, and it was gradually approaching the truth.

After a day of guarding, Zhuge Zhengwo confirmed that the Spirit Stone Mine was fine, and he dispatched a Fifth Realm Spirit Refinement realm elder from within the sect to temporarily guard the mine, no longer fearing that people from Xiaoyao Sect would seize the temporary mine again.

Afterward, he rushed directly back to Xuanjian Sect. As soon as he returned to the sect, before Zhuge Zhengwo had even settled down, he heard his disciple report the conflict that had erupted between Xu Xi and Ye Yuchen today.

Then he frantically sent people to investigate thoroughly. Today, the entire Xuanjian Sect's patrols were so strict precisely to find any traces of Xu Xi making a move.

“But... do you really think you can stop me?”

“What do you think my strength is?”

However, facing the extensive investigations of the Law Enforcement Peak disciples, Xu Xi completely disregarded them.

Even if the powerful Zhuge Zhengwo himself came to investigate him, Xu Xi would not be afraid at all.

With Xu Xi's current peak Spirit Refinement strength and his current divine sense, it's hard to say who would find whom first.

“You think I'm the prey?”

“A huge mistake!”

“You are the prey, Zhuge Zhengwo!”

With a mocking smile in his heart, Xu Xi was extremely relaxed. No matter how much those disciples searched, they couldn't find Xu Xi's figure moving in the darkness.

Completely integrated with the night, Xu Xi didn't take long after leaving Elder Peak to arrive at Gui Xin Hall.

Dressed in night-traveling clothes, Xu Xi was sneaky, constantly looking back and forth inside the main hall.

Even with his divine sense extended, confirming that there was no one within a hundred meters of him, he still acted like a thief, making such movements.

It was as if this was a reaction every person with a guilty conscience would have.

“In Area A, Section 3, let me see... Yes, this is it!”

“Let me slip into your little bed, plunge a sword into your heart, give you a lesson, and then send you to meet your dear King of Hell!”

The path was smooth and unobstructed. The highest cultivation of those Law Enforcement Peak disciples was only at the Spirit Opening Realm; how could they detect Xu Xi?

And now, having arrived at the area he wanted to explore, Xu Xi gave a cunning smile as he looked at the plaque outside the room displaying the room number.

Subsequently, a formation disk appeared from his hand, enveloping the room in front of Xu Xi, isolating any sound from the outside world.

Even if Ye Yuchen heard something unusual and woke up from his sleep, he wouldn't be able to send out a distress signal.

This was Xu Xi's first time doing such a thing in this other world, yet he seemed so proficient. It must be said that Xu Xi had quite a talent in this area and was worth further cultivation.

The assassin alliance on Island of the Banished Immortals might be the sect Xu Xi should have joined the most.

With the formation deployed, Xu Xi didn't waste any time, unlike the big villains in TV dramas who procrastinate endlessly.

He immediately opened the door, then closed it. Inside Ye Yuchen's room, it was utterly silent.

Even when Xu Xi trespassed, he didn't make much noise.

Looking at the dim room, Xu Xi's sharp blade was already unsheathed, but it wasn't Xu Xi's exclusive sword, Drunken Sleep Sword, but a very ordinary longsword.

In fact, that sword even bore the mark of Xiaoyao Sect.

This sword was also a trophy Xu Xi had plundered from the battle at the Spirit Stone Mine.

For some items with very obvious Xiaoyao Sect markings, Xu Xi chose not to destroy them or anything.

Instead, he kept them. In the future, if he wanted to frame someone, these items would be invaluable and could be used to great effect.

Xu Xi wouldn't let himself be in a situation where he had such a thought but lacked the corresponding items.

He had kept it until now, and sure enough, it immediately came in handy.

It can only be said that there's a reason why some people are so skilled the first time they do such things.

If the island master of Island of the Banished Immortals's headquarters in Central Continent were to come, he might even lavishly praise Xu Xi's talent with a line like, “Young friend, you are fated with my sect.”

In the dim room, there was no light, but the bright moonlight from outside the window shone upon the longsword, emitting faint cold gleams, becoming the only light in the room.

Looking towards the bed, although the narration is lengthy, everything happened in an instant.
