94: Thanks for the invitation, but I'm not gay.
Yi Zhusheng is a disciple of Thunderclap Pavilion, skilled in lightning techniques while also cultivating swordsmanship.
And similarly, using a sword, combined with Tang Wan's insights into lightning techniques, his reputation among outsiders was identical to Yi Zhusheng's.
Perhaps, at that time, Xu Xi could even frame someone, adding a few more competitors for Thunderclap Pavilion.
"This guy is really something. This disguise technique is so profound that it even fooled me."
The moment Xu Xi left, Tang Wan followed closely, but after a certain distance, she didn't continue further.
Watching Xu Xi flee and the sudden change in his aura, Tang Wan, in that instant, felt as if Yi Zhusheng himself was right before her eyes.
If Tang Wan hadn't been thoroughly informed about the current situation, she might have genuinely mistaken the previous Xu Xi for Yi Zhusheng himself, or just an impersonator. She might have directly unleashed a Purple Cloud Profound Lightning, mistaking Xu Xi for Yi Zhusheng and slaying him on the spot.
At the same time, Tang Wan was also very surprised by the disguise technique Xu Xi displayed; even Tang Wan herself wouldn't dare claim she could impersonate someone so realistically.
After sighing in admiration at its profundity, Tang Wan returned to Xuanjian Sect. Immediately after, she followed normal procedures and arrived at Xia Junling's door.
Knock knock knock!
Lightly knocking on the door, signaling Xia Junling inside, Tang Wan waited for a moment before seeing Xia Junling, fully dressed, opening the door.
At this moment, her aura was still a bit chaotic, and the blush on her face hadn't completely faded. Looking at Tang Wan, a few hints of surprise appeared on Xia Junling's face.
"You came so quickly?"
"Xu Xi just left."
"Wait, this aura of yours..."
"You were peeking just now!"
Her voice inevitably grew a bit louder. After speaking, Xia Junling quickly covered her mouth with her hands, looking at Tang Wan in disbelief.
Because from Tang Wan, Xia Junling detected the aura that had been captured by the formation.
Connecting Xu Xi's recent departure with Tang Wan's immediate arrival, Xia Junling naturally realized what had happened in the interim.
"Hmm, not bad. Your vigilance is quite high~"
Exposed on the spot by Xia Junling, Tang Wan didn't feel any embarrassment. Instead, she looked at Xia Junling with a playful smile, then took a step forward, closing the door she had just opened.
"You... what are you doing? Don't mess around, this is Xuanjian Sect!"
Involuntarily taking a step back, watching Tang Wan pressing closer, as the host, Xia Junling's momentum actually weakened by half at this moment.
This was also related to everything Xia Junling had witnessed last night.
Tang Wan's combat power was too strong. From Xia Junling's solo performance against Xu Xi today, it was clear that in terms of combat experience, in any sense, Xia Junling was definitely no match for Tang Wan.
"Doing what?"
"Merely discussing with Sect Master Xia about the cooperation between Purple Cloud Sect and Xuanjian Sect within the Juefeng Secret Realm."
"Could it be... Sect Master Xia disagrees?"
Smiling at Xia Junling before her, Tang Wan also developed a playful mood, appearing like a female demon lord, which made Xia Junling feel an involuntary sense of awe.
Especially knowing the terrifying nature of the woman before her, Xia Junling appeared even more hesitant.
Of course, Xu Xi played a huge factor in this; facing an ordinary Reaching the Profound expert, Xia Junling would not have behaved this way... "Damn system!"
"You really aren't giving me any mission targets!"
The scene shifts to Xu Xi. He ran all the way, but along the way, Xu Xi also tried to get the system to trigger a capture target.
However, without exception, the system didn't make a sound, which made Xu Xi feel helpless.
He always felt the system was making things difficult for him!
It wanted Yin Qi, but didn't provide capture targets. Furthermore, Yin Qi could only be extracted from the targets provided by the system. Wasn't this clearly trying to kill Xu Xi?
"However, I've finally arrived at Ziyuan City. Perhaps more mission targets will be triggered here."
"A gathering of prodigies will definitely meet the system's standards."
Putting aside his complaints about the system, Xu Xi finally stopped after a burst of speed.
The vast resources before his eyes were reflected in his pupils: magnificent, enormous, and the tide-like flow of people, all foreshadowing Ziyuan City's current glory.
It could be said that this was the most prosperous place in Youzhou.
Unfortunately, it was not under the jurisdiction of the three major sects, but rather an independent city.
It didn't even have a city lord; all authority rested in the hands of the sects stationed there.
Of course, most of them were from Central State sects.
After all, stronger power meant greater say. People from other states had the right to make suggestions, but if others didn't consider them, there was nothing you could do.
"Hey, stop. As per custom, entering the city requires a fee of 10 low-grade spirit stones. Don't just stand there dumbfounded, hurry up and pay."
Following the crowd into Ziyuan City, without exception, Xu Xi was stopped by the guard soldiers to pay the spirit stones.
"What a rip-off. 10 low-grade spirit stones. An average cultivator would feel a pang of pain for quite a while after paying that."
"If I died in the Juefeng Secret Realm, wouldn't I lose even my underwear?"
Taking out 10 low-grade spirit stones from his storage bag, Xu Xi saw no need to make a fuss over this matter. After all, Xuanjian Sect would also get a share of Ziyuan City's final resource distribution, and Xu Xi was also a capitalist!
As he entered the city, a cacophony of noise reached Xu Xi's ears. With the Juefeng Secret Realm about to open, many vendors naturally set up stalls here to earn spirit stones, and incidentally, to swindle some cultivators who were ignorant but loved a bargain.
Of course, these stalls also had to pay a price. The stall fee alone was at least a thousand low-grade spirit stones, and even that required connections.
"Yi Zhusheng?"
"He came so fast? Didn't they say he was still at Acacia Sect?"
"And, he seems to have encountered some trouble recently."
Not long after Xu Xi left, from a wine shop beside him, a person leaned out of a window and spotted Xu Xi.
He inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity. After careful identification, he called out Yi Zhusheng's name.
"But it's good that he's here. I can discuss some matters about entering the Juefeng Secret Realm with him, and we can look out for each other."
"The relationship between our two sects is also quite good."
After recognizing Yi Zhusheng, the person didn't remain silent. Instead, he loudly called out to Xu Xi.
"Yi Zhusheng, come play?"
As the words left his mouth, Xu Xi heard them and immediately looked up, only to see a handsome, delicate-looking man with long hair and an open robe.
By appearance, he looked very much like a woman, but from all indications, he was a man.
"Come play?"
"Sorry, I'm not into that!"
