92: The last shot before departure
Ling Ning霜 was, after all, a woman; Tang Wan could accept that a little, but the other four were all men!
Although they were born with good looks, they still didn't please Tang Wan.
"Give it to me, no problem."
"I will definitely get this done for him."
"Zi Yuan City, speaking of it, is the only place none of our three sects have occupied."
"It's close to the Juefeng Secret Realm. If we go there this time, we might even encounter the geniuses from other major prefectures. What a melting pot, it's getting more and more interesting."
With the token held tightly in his hand, Xu Xi didn't think this matter would be difficult.
Even someone as arrogant as Ling Ning霜 had been subdued by his powerful combat strength, so the other Purple Cloud Sect disciples were no match for him.
At worst, there would be another grand battle!
Strongman 'locking men', 'men foldermen' or whatever, Xu Xi felt it wasn't impossible.
"Ding, host, the 'Long Yang' preference cannot absorb Yin-Yang Qi. Please be aware!"
"Ah, this... I was just joking, no sense of humor at all."
Embarrassed, Xu Xi couldn't help but feel ashamed after hearing the system's sudden notification.
"I have other matters to attend to, I'll be leaving first."
He put the token away, but Xu Xi wasn't in a hurry to leave.
Because he had promised Xia Junling that he would visit her tonight.
However, as it stood, he could only move the time forward a little.
Bidding farewell to Tang Wan, Xu Xi set off again.
However, as soon as Xu Xi left, Ye Xueqing and the others, who had rushed out, looked regretful.
But, seeing Tang Wan still standing in place, covering her mouth and snickering, the others suddenly realized that perhaps Tang Wan had done it on purpose.
Last night, Tang Wan had her fill, like a long drought meeting sweet rain, but the rest of them hadn't received much of that rain.
"Elder Tang, are you really letting him go?"
"Although Junior Brother Liu and the others aren't very strong, if they propose a pill duel, it might give him a headache."
Looking at Tang Wan, Ling Ning霜 frowned, realizing the complexity of the matter.
Ling Ning霜 was deeply impressed by Xu Xi's current strength, but setting aside combat power and only considering alchemy, the other four disciples of the Purple Cloud Sect had taken a crooked path; they weren't purely focused on alchemy.
Instead, they engaged in pill duels!
The medicinal pills formed by alchemy also possessed offensive power!
If Xu Xi were caught off guard with such a move during alchemy, he might find it incredibly troublesome.
"Don't worry, he can do it."
"Those few are all Spirit Refinement cultivators. If they clash with Xu Xi, who is at Spirit Forming, even in a pill duel, Xu Xi can maintain victory."
Without Ling Ning霜's worries, Tang Wan knew Xu Xi's current strength well. Even if he was slightly inferior in a pill duel, with his powerful raw strength, he would definitely secure victory.
After all, engaging in a pill duel also required a certain level of strength to support it.
Xu Xi could hold his own by simply using spiritual energy pressure, and combined with his equally third-grade alchemy skills, victory was assured.
"It's just... that 'kidney deficiency' guy isn't leaving Xuanjian Sect right now, is he..."
With a faint smile, she signaled Ling Ning霜 to relax. However, when she turned her head, Tang Wan's expression instantly changed.
Because Tang Wan's divine sense showed that the direction Xu Xi was heading was clearly very different from the path to leave Xuanjian Sect!
"That is..."
"Interesting, a final shot before parting?"
Finally, after a brief observation, having clearly foreseen Xu Xi's destination, Tang Wan realized what Xu Xi was going to do.
Then, she also left at the same time, no longer heeding the calls of Ling Ning霜 and the others behind her... Landing on the roof of Xia Junling's house, she set up a formation and concealed herself there. Tang Wan even arrived a step before Xu Xi.
And Xu Xi, who was behind Tang Wan, didn't notice Tang Wan's small movements.
It must be said that Tang Wan's desire to watch a live broadcast had reached its peak at this moment!
"The Sect Master is still discussing matters in the deliberation hall. If Xu Xi has urgent matters to discuss, he can go to the deliberation hall to meet her again."
Before he even approached Xia Junling's residence, the Law Enforcement Peak disciples patrolling the Xuanjian Sect saw Xu Xi approaching. They immediately blocked Xu Xi at the door and simultaneously reminded Xu Xi where Xia Junling was now, telling him not to waste his efforts.
"Oh, is that so? It's nothing, I'll just wait in the reception hall."
"There are many elders in the deliberation hall. Wouldn't I be asking for trouble if I went there?"
Ignoring the patrolling disciples' words, Xu Xi simply walked inside, showing Xia Junling's token to those patrolling disciples, telling them not to chatter.
He swaggered in, then, after a feint, Xu Xi directly entered Xia Junling's room from the reception hall.
Without a trace of hesitation or concern, how vast was this Xuanjian Sect? Where could Xu Xi not go?
Time passed bit by bit. On the roof, Tang Wan was getting a little impatient, muttering to herself,
"Why isn't that little hussy Xia Junling finishing up the boring chatter in the deliberation hall? The wind on the roof is a bit cold."
Extremely bored, Tang Wan leaned against the roof, staring blankly at the sky, illuminated by the sunlight, reflecting her flawless face.
Leaning against a protruding decoration on the roof, Tang Wan sighed.
However, after a hint of annoyance appeared on her face, Tang Wan gradually became excited again, because Tang Wan sensed Xia Junling's familiar aura.
"Finally, she's here. With her Entering Profundity strength, she shouldn't discover me. As long as I hide my aura well, the methods left by Xuanjian Sect won't be able to reveal my presence either."
Reviewing the possibilities of her exposure in her mind, Tang Wan acted cautiously; she didn't want to be caught red-handed while enjoying herself.
Inside the room, Xu Xi didn't feel bored despite the long wait. Because, one interesting item after another was pulled out of his storage bag, and Xu Xi kept adjusting angles and assembling props, wanting to play it up a bit.
After all, it was his last battle before leaving, so he wanted to have fun!
It was a pity he couldn't have an impart, mainly because Xu Xi's body couldn't handle it.
If he had an impart without inviting Tang Wan, Xu Xi would definitely suffer.
But if he invited Tang Wan, Xu Xi would suffer even more.
Outside, Xia Junling approached little by little.
Just then, another group of Law Enforcement Peak disciples passed by, the same ones Xu Xi had seen earlier.
Seeing Xia Junling, they couldn't help but remind her.
"Sect Master, Xu Xi came to see you just now, seemingly with something important. After I reminded him, Xu Xi seemed to have gone to wait in the reception hall, but I don't know if he is still there now."
"Understood. You continue patrolling. Don't keep lingering around here. Xuanjian Sect is so big; if the place I am in isn't safe, where else is safe?"
Her heart skipped a beat. Hearing the Law Enforcement Peak disciple's words, Xia Junling sensed something was amiss.
Xu Xi coming to find her at this time certainly didn't bode well.
"Could it be..."
Involuntarily thinking in a strange direction, Xia Junling's fair face instantly flushed, tinged with a blush.
Then, after instructing the Law Enforcement Peak disciples, Xia Junling walked inside.
However, she wasn't going to the reception hall, but to her own room.
Xia Junling clearly knew that Xu Xi couldn't possibly be waiting in the reception hall.
As she walked forward, Xia Junling also activated a formation to completely shield the aura of her location.
"How can there be a strange aura... Could there be someone else present?"
