187: Xiao Qingyuan is the Seventeenth Master, and the Seventeenth Master is Xiao Qingyuan

"Who dares?"

In Kaiyuan City, Wei Qingyan's beautiful eyes were filled with murderous intent as she fiercely blocked the doorway.

The shattered door revealed Lvyi behind her, struggling to stand up, her face pale, blood already seeping from the corner of her mouth.

She had clearly just endured a fierce battle and was too injured to speak.

At this moment, Lvyi's heart was filled with regret. Why hadn't she agreed earlier to use her body to win over Xiao Qingyuan?

To help him advance his cultivation.

Then he would surely be a capable helper for the Princess.

And the Princess would not be so isolated and helpless as she was now.

Thinking this, she excitedly spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Your Highness the Princess, Lvyi stole a precious treasure, and the evidence is conclusive.

We are acting on orders. Does the Princess truly intend to obstruct us for the sake of a spy?"

"Nonsense! What are you people?" Wei Qingyan's pretty face flushed crimson with anger. "Framing someone! Wei Wushang, come out!

I know it's you, come out!"

"In the army, only evidence matters. Is the Princess deliberately shielding her? If so... then do not blame this humble general for being rude!"

The speaker's eyes were full of malice, and a cold sneer curled his lips.

He was from the Chu Family.

The army most strictly forbade shielding criminals, not to mention they had already pinned the charge of abusing power for personal gain on Lvyi.

If Wei Qingyan dared to agree today, then she could forget about managing this army ever again!

No matter how she answered, it wouldn't work!

Wei Qingyan looked at the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators leading the team before her and felt utterly powerless.

She had just received good news: Superior Qingyuan had effortlessly killed a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and all the Ku Family Cultivators were annihilated.

Yet, unexpectedly, that very night, a large group of people burst into her home without reason.

And they had found many things.

All were valuable Medicinal Pills for healing, and even more critically, military supplies.

How could Wei Qingyan not know of these people's schemes?

Wei Wuji... was he already targeting her last reliance?

Master Lu... No!

It wasn't time for Master Lu to appear, and it was too late anyway.

Thinking of this, she could only spread her arms, fiercely blocking Lvyi's path.

She cried out helplessly, "Wei Wuji, I know you're here, come out! Otherwise, if I die here, you'll get nothing!"

However, unbeknownst to her, the scene unfolding here.

Was witnessed by two people hidden in the shadows.

Lu Chen's face was filled with excitement as he cupped his fists in a bow. "Many thanks, Brother Wushang, for this. Later, please go down and fan the flames a bit more.

So that I can appear at the critical moment to save her.

Only then can I win the beauty's heart."

The plan was proceeding smoothly.

An old trick, a hero saving a beauty.

But it didn't matter; as long as it worked.

After all, to completely take everything from Lvyi, she needed to be defenseless.

Later, as long as he went out and pretended to have paid a huge price, willing to compensate double the losses.

And then put on a show of self-inflicted hardship, he could easily capture the beauty's heart.

And seeing Wei Wushang's expressionless face, he became even more convinced that Wei Wushang had no affection for his own sister.

He became even more confident in his subsequent plans.

He smiled faintly, as if Lvyi was already his for the taking, then turned his gaze to Wei Qingyan in the arena.

His heart stirred again.

That's right, since the first goal was achieved, there was still the next goal, Wei Qingyan.

This was a born spirit bone!

And a born spirit bone who once possessed an Earthly Spiritual Root.

Her Bloodline was extraordinary.

It was just that these people of the Wei Kingdom were short-sighted and personally destroyed this Prodigy.

But that was good too, otherwise, it wouldn't be his turn to scheme.

Lu Chen's heart was overjoyed.

Noticing that Wei Wushang remained silent, he understood with a slight thought.

His eyes darted, and he immediately spoke again, "To express my gratitude, I am willing to reduce my share of Foundation Establishment Pills by another ten percent!

I only need twenty percent."

He smiled, knowing that his alchemy skills were already half-Waste, and he didn't know how many Materials would be wasted later.

In any case, he wouldn't lose out.

It was better to make the promise and get the benefits first.

"Good!" Wei Wushang's eyes swept over him indifferently, not letting Lu Chen see the gloom in his eyes.

In his heart, the moment he discovered Lu Chen coveted his sister, Lu Chen was already a dead man!

Thinking this, he instead showed a smile and pointed at Lvyi below, "This woman has a fierce temperament, I'm just afraid Brother Lu will lose everything!"

Lu Chen, upon hearing this, said indifferently, "I just need to be able to take the person away. For the rest, I have my own brilliant plan! It's just that later, Brother Wushang will have to pretend not to be familiar with me, only then can this matter be Perfection."

Sighing, Wei Wushang suppressed his disgust and said no more.

Why would the Immortal Sect value such a scumbag? Wei Wushang was at a loss.

His figure flickered, and he had already arrived before the crowd.

Any later, he feared he wouldn't be able to resist killing him on the spot!

"Wei Wushang, what exactly do you mean?"

"Get out of the way!" Wei Wushang's voice was icy.

"No!"

"She stole something!"

"Bullshit!" Wei Qingyan completely flared up, and a small curved knife slid from her sleeve. "Wei Wushang, what's the point of you doing this?"

"No point." Wei Wushang shook his head. "But I must take her away. She's just a maid, and a dead loyalist.

Dying for you, I think it's worth it!"

"It's like this again!" Swish—Wei Qingyan suddenly held the knife to her chest. "Why are you always willing to make decisions for others? Do you really think you're doing good for me?

You only make me feel disgusted.

Even if you admit it yourself,

That you want to harm me, that you want to avenge our mother, I'll accept it!

But come at me!"

In the end, Wei Qingyan roared loudly, the tip of the knife even piercing her skin.

Wei Wushang remained expressionless, but no one noticed that his fingernails behind his back had already pierced his skin.

"Yes!"

Wei Qingyan was stunned at his words.

"What?"

"I said yes!"

Wei Wushang's voice did not waver in the slightest. "Of course I want to harm you. Your talent is extraordinary, so I will destroy your talent.

Your status is noble, so I will destroy your nobility."

Speaking of this, he pointed at Lvyi behind him. "She is your last reliance, so I will help you destroy it. From now on, you can only rely on yourself.

Remember, never rely on anyone again.

Always rely on yourself!"

After saying that, he directly waved his hand, "Take her down!"

"How dare you? Lvyi, run!"

When the Foundation Establishment Cultivator moved, Wei Qingyan finally panicked.

However, Wei Wushang's figure merely flickered, and when he reappeared, he had already firmly grasped Wei Qingyan's arm and snatched the knife away.

"You cannot die, after all, I still need to use you to win over the Ku Family!"

With that, he even brought his two fingers together and pointed.

A wisp of illusory Sword Qi suddenly flew from his fingertip.

It was none other than the peak Foundation Establishment Spell, Geng Metal Sword Finger.

With a "chua" sound.

Avoiding vital points.

It pierced towards the chest of the struggling Lvyi.

Lu Chen, hidden in the corner, saw this scene and a slight smile curled his lips.

He hadn't expected the Seventh Prince to be so dedicated, despite his outwardly calm demeanor.

He even completely shattered the Princess's psychological defenses.

His heart rejoiced; this far exceeded his expectations.

Thinking this, he quickly tidied his clothes and put on an anxious expression.

Even his eyes changed abruptly, looking full of unbearable pain.

However, before he could step forward.

A blindingly bright sword light instantly poured down from the sky.

Accompanying it was a huge air palm.

Which suddenly collided with the small Sword Qi.

Clang—!

It actually made a loud clanging sound like metal striking metal.

Wei Wushang's expression was startled; why had the anti-flight runes failed?

Someone actually rode a sword in?

How strong must his Divine Sense be?

Even more terrifying was that this person clearly stood before everyone, yet he couldn't sense any Qi from him.

What Rank of Qi concealment Spell was this?

It was simply terrifying.

However, when he came to his senses, not only had his sister, whom he had subconsciously protected, disappeared.

Even Lvyi, who had already been subdued, was now in the newcomer's arms.

"Ho, what a lively scene. I wonder why you all are fighting so fiercely in my Xiao Family's Kaiyuan City late at night!"

Xiao Qingyuan heavily emphasized "my Xiao Family's Kaiyuan City."

After saying this, he looked at Wei Qingyan, whom he had pulled to his side. "And Princess Qingcheng, what do you mean by someone snatching my woman? Could this person you're talking about be you?"

After speaking, he turned to look at Wei Wushang, who was leading the group, and chuckled, "So, you are Wei Wushang?

Speak, why did you snatch my Xiao Qingyuan's city, and now you want to snatch my woman too?"

As he spoke, his smile grew colder and colder, and he pointed his finger in a circle.

"Everyone, don't move. All of you are my captives!"

Seeing this scene, Lu Chen in the corner immediately looked terrified, his body even trembling.

"It's him...? Seventeenth Master is Xiao Qingyuan, Xiao Qingyuan is Seventeenth Master...?!!!"
