91: Kidney deficiency, can you do it?
In just a moment, he had already arrived.
The Hall of Offerings was a scene of post-battle chaos, and remnants of Xuanjian Sect disciples were still gathered there.
Furthermore, they were continuously discussing Xu Xi's glorious achievements from earlier.
"Senior Brother Xu? Returning again? Is there something he hasn't finished yet?"
"But the Law Enforcement Peak disciples already wrapped things up after he left, only the remaining corpses in the Hall of Offerings haven't been fully dealt with."
Seeing Xu Xi return, the disciples were all surprised, but then a few of them looked relieved.
Often, after completing a task, the instigator likes to visit the scene to admire his masterpiece. Perhaps Xu Xi also harbored such a mentality.
"Not this one... not this one either..."
"Searching through so many corpses one by one is truly like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"I should have just destroyed the bodies earlier; that way, I could have directly determined where the insanity worm was."
No matter how the disciples discussed, Xu Xi remained oblivious, focusing wholeheartedly on controlling the mother worm and sensing the residual information from the child worms.
Corpse after corpse was swept past by Xu Xi. After a long time, Xu Xi still hadn't found what he was looking for, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
As he continued to search deeper into the Hall of Offerings, Xu Xi's expression gradually became strange.
Because he discovered that the location of the aura transmitted by the insanity worm seemed to be Wang Hengtian's private courtyard.
"No way, such a coincidence?"
"If it really is Wang Hengtian, then this gets interesting."
Quickening his pace, Xu Xi urgently wanted to know if the child worm was truly parasitic in Wang Hengtian's body.
Finally, after a while, he stepped into Wang Hengtian's private courtyard and pulled out the mother worm. However, in a flash, Xu Xi only heard a "whoosh" sound.
Reflected in his pupils was a small, reddish-black worm attacking, seemingly intending to devour its master.
"Just a small worm, do you really think that after devouring the essence of a cultivator, you can retaliate against me?"
"Although I am only at Spirit Forming and not as powerful as Liu Xuanfeng, your method of sensing danger is far too poor."
With a small pinch, he easily caught the insanity worm, rubbing it between his index finger and thumb. Xu Xi looked closely at the struggling child worm and couldn't help but smile.
Afterward, he placed the child worm back into a transparent container, and watching the pair of insanity worms cuddling together and complementing each other inside the container, he found it somewhat amusing.
These tiny insanity worms even knew how to devour their master, but unfortunately, they misjudged Xu Xi's strength.
Even if they could sense that Xu Xi's current aura was clearly not as strong as Liu Xuanfeng's, it was clear that the strength of the two insanity worms was only around Spirit Refinement, posing no threat to Xu Xi at all.
"It really was that brat Wang Hengtian. But since he's been sucked dry, let's quickly deal with it. Otherwise, it'll be hard to explain later."
Taking a few more steps forward, Xu Xi had now fully seen Wang Hengtian's corpse.
However, even as a corpse, Wang Hengtian at this moment was exceptionally unusual; he didn't look like he had just died, but rather like a mummified corpse.
He looked as if he had been air-dried for decades, with no moisture left. The originally fresh red bloodstains now flowed on the ground as dark brown marks, without any vibrancy.
A bolt of profound lightning leaped from Xu Xi's fingertip, then discharged onto Wang Hengtian's body. Instantly, the malevolent aura dissipated.
Wang Hengtian's corpse thus turned into a fine powder, scattering with the wind, leaving no trace.
"Senior Brother Xu, why have you returned again?"
Not long after Xu Xi destroyed the corpse, a group of Law Enforcement Peak disciples looked at Xu Xi, who stood there, and the vanished corpse of Wang Hengtian, and couldn't help but ask.
They had a look of suspicion, and at the same time, a hint of caution.
The Law Enforcement Peak disciples had never thought highly of Xu Xi, because Zhuge Zhengwo also felt the same way about the First Elder's faction.
"It's just the First Elder's task..." "I came to get something. I left some things at the Hall of Offerings during the enforcement operation just now. There's nothing wrong with that, is there?"
"Also, seeing how slow you all are, I'll help you out. I've already dealt with Wang Hengtian's corpse, no need to thank me."
Seeing the Law Enforcement Peak disciples arrive, Xu Xi didn't want to take any more action. Anyway, what he needed to do had already been completed.
After speaking, he left in a hurry, not giving the Law Enforcement Peak disciples any chance to question him.
And looking at Xu Xi's retreating back, the Law Enforcement Peak disciples also didn't dare to say much.
After exchanging glances, they also left one after another, continuing to seal off the Hall of Offerings and clear the post-battle remnants.
Xu Xi had disposed of Wang Hengtian's corpse; they certainly wouldn't care.
These corpses were meant to be destroyed anyway, and Wang Hengtian was killed by Xu Xi, so they didn't need to interfere.
Even if they reported it upwards, Xun Ya and Zhuge Zhengwo would not question it... "You're back?"
"You just went to the Hall of Offerings again, for what purpose?"
Upon returning to the First Elder's territory on Elder Peak, within the private courtyard, Tang Wan, who had been waiting there, immediately launched a barrage of questions.
She had originally wanted to have a deep exchange with Xu Xi, but alas, this kidney-deficient guy, Xu Xi, wouldn't give her the chance.
"Some things were left behind in the Hall of Offerings."
"Didn't we just discuss life? Elder Tang's desire for battle is a bit too intense..."
Rubbing his waist, Xu Xi couldn't help but feel a lingering fear at this moment.
Tang Wan, this juicer, really knows how to squeeze out essence!
Xu Xi was squeezed dry last night, not a single drop of essence left.
Now, even with medicinal pills to replenish him, he still hadn't fully recovered.
"Heh~"
"I won't tease you anymore, let's talk about serious matters."
Seeing Xu Xi's bitter expression and his look of lingering fear, Tang Wan let out a soft snort, glanced at Xu Xi's 'second brother,' then withdrew her playful expression and said seriously,
"Our Purple Cloud Sect has a total of five people coming this time."
"Ning Shuang is considered one of the most outstanding among them. Although I am the Dao Protector Elder for this trial, the other few will not completely obey my command."
"If you want them to accompany you as a team and maintain a low profile, you'll have to work hard yourself."
"They have already arrived in Youzhou and are currently in Ziyuan City. Go there and bring them back to Xuanjian Sect."
"This way, you can also use this time to completely win them over."
"This is my token. When they see it, they will naturally know that I sent you."
She spoke continuously, then with a wave of her small hand, a delicate token suddenly appeared in Tang Wan's hand.
Tossing it to Xu Xi, Tang Wan's expression became serious at this moment.
Most sect prodigies share a common trait: arrogance, a bone-deep pride that prevents them from fully obeying others' arrangements.
This is even more true for these geniuses of the Purple Cloud Sect.
Li Ning霜 is a troublemaker among these individuals, but the others are also not easy to manage.
Throwing these troubles to Xu Xi, Tang Wan didn't want to interact too much with these so-called geniuses.
One by one, they had little ability but big tempers.
