Chapter 52: The grudge has already been formed, and it cannot be resolved peacefully

If it were someone from the Tai Xu Sect, Xu Muge wouldn't hesitate at all. After all, the Lingyue Sect already had conflicts and grievances with them, and since both were first-tier powers, neither was afraid of the other.

But Chu Zhengyan held a certain status in both Great Chu and Great Qi, and the Lingyue Sect currently didn't dare to openly offend these two behemoths.

Should they kill this Chu Zhengyan, or not?

Xu Muge looked at Xu Luo, wanting to ask for his opinion. He had always felt that Luo Ge was more steady and had a more long-term perspective.

At this moment, Chu Zhengyan was suffering greatly. His life, once his own, was now in someone else's hands, and the humiliation in his heart continued to spread.

He secretly swore in his heart.

"When I return to Great Qi, I will definitely kill all of you, not sparing a single person from your Family!!"

Deep down, he was full of resentment towards Xu Luo and Xu Muge, but he didn't dare to show it. Instead, he had to put on a pitiful look begging for mercy.

"Actually, there's no grievance between us. Just pretend we never met, and we'll each go our own way. We can even be friends."

As a reborn person, Xu Luo had experienced and seen too much in his previous life and deeply understood a principle: those who aren't ruthless cannot stand firm.

Chu Zhengyan's shrewdness and acting skills were decent, but in front of Xu Luo, they were not worth mentioning.

He saw that his expression was calm, showing no change in emotion.

Suddenly.

"Boom!!"

A fist print smashed towards Chu Zhengyan. The distance was too close, too sudden, and he didn't have time to dodge. He could only watch as the fist print rapidly approached and grew larger.

"No!!!"

Chu Zhengyan let out a hysterical roar and died under the fist print.

He hadn't expected at all that Xu Luo would still dare to make a move after he revealed his identity.

Before entering the Secret Realm, he also hadn't thought that he would die here.

Xu Muge also hadn't expected that Luo Ge would make a move without saying a word, but he felt that Luo Ge's actions were fine. He himself was just undecided and let Luo Ge make the decision.

Xu Luo said, "Since the grudge has been formed, it cannot end well. In this world, turning hostility into friendship won't happen even once in a hundred times."

"I understand, Luo Ge," Xu Muge replied.

Since they had already killed him, they must handle it cleanly and not leave a single trace. Otherwise, the entire Xu Family would be implicated.

Xu Luo said, "Go lure some Xuan Dan Realm demonic beasts over. I'll clean up the traces here, and finally leave behind some traces of Xuan Dan Realm demonic beasts fighting. Then it will be fine."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Although Xu Muge had fought continuously, his true essence was profound, and he still had some left. Dealing with two more Huo Jiannan wouldn't be a problem at all.

After he left, Xu Luo began to use his professional corpse destruction methods.

The Disciples from the Tai Xu Sect didn't matter, but Chu Zhenyan was the main concern. Not a single trace must be left behind.

Finally, with the cooperation of the two brothers, they managed to remove themselves from the scene.

Xu Luo instructed, "After we go out, just say you encountered a pack of Xuan Dan Realm demonic beasts, and all the Lingyue Sect Disciples except you are gone. They should believe this explanation."

"What if they don't believe it? The Secret Realm is closed, and they'll have to wait ten years to come in and investigate again," Xu Muge said with a relaxed expression.

Xu Luo shook his head.

"In the future, don't have this kind of侥幸 mentality. This Chu Zhenyan is just one of Prince Zhennan's sons. If he were the heir, or even a prince or the Crown Prince, the enraged king wouldn't need any evidence at all; everyone who entered the Secret Realm would have to be buried with him."

In his previous life, he had experienced such a thing. As long as someone's status was high enough, if they met with an accident, everyone who was with them for the same purpose would be implicated.

Xu Muge was speechless for a moment.

Xu Luo said, "Alright, the Secret Realm will close in another month. We need to hurry up and find some more heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Even if we can't use them, we can give them to our Family."

"With our strength, there's no need to stay together. Acting separately will be more efficient."

Only then did Xu Muge notice the lion-like demonic beast beside him.

"Is this the demonic beast hatched from the ancient exotic beast egg from the last Wanbao Pavilion auction?"

"It is, its name is Little Grey," Xu Luo replied.

Xu Muge curled his lip, "It's not that I'm saying this, but the name you gave is really lacking. It's neither elegant nor domineering."

Xu Luo ignored him. A name was just a code; what difference did it make if it was a good one?

"If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

Xu Muge chuckled, rubbing his hands together.

"I just wanted to say, when your lion lays an egg, can you give me one? This little guy looks cute normally, but looks very mighty when fighting. It's perfect for me."

Xu Luo was speechless for a moment.

This was an ancient exotic beast, Sun猊 (Suan Ni). It might be the only one left under these heavens and earth. How could it lay eggs for you?

"I'll give you one when the time comes."

After saying something perfunctory, Xu Luo took Little Grey and left.

Xu Muge muttered, "Seriously, why is he running so fast? Is he in a hurry to go on a date with his little lover?"

…

Xu Luo and Xu Muge in the Secret Realm only needed to look for heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but Xu Qingzhou in the Royal Capital had a lot more to consider.

Every day, he had to think about what delicious food to take Su Xinyan to eat, what fun things to play, and what beautiful sights to see.

On the third day of the Azure Dragon Secret Realm's opening, the Secret Realm would open again by noon.

Leaving the inn.

Su Xinyan asked softly, "Aren't we going to the entrance of the Azure Dragon Secret Realm?"

"It's still early now. Going there would just mean waiting. Let's find a place to sit for a while, and it won't be too late to go when the time is closer," Xu Qingzhou said nonchalantly.

As they were talking, they encountered Elder Li returning. He had been idle these past few days and had met a few old friends, so he was in a good mood.

When Elder Li saw the two of them holding hands, looking deeply in love, his eyes immediately widened, his face filled with disbelief, and even some shock.

"You two…."

Su Xinyan's gaze changed instantly, and Elder Li shivered all over.

Xu Qingzhou asked with a smile, "Elder Li, what's wrong?"

Elder Li shook his head and waved his hands, "No, no, no, I didn't see anything. I still have things to do, I'll go back first."

He felt that if he spoke any slower, his Junior Sister would silence him. Although he had cultivated longer than her and their cultivation levels were the same, their strength was vastly different.

Returning to his room, he took a big gulp of tea.

"This is a big deal! Mu Ge's Junior Sister and his Uncle, how did the two of them get together?"

Only then did Elder Li finally understand why Su Xinyan, who never liked going out, would come to the Royal Capital. It turned out she came with him.

"Pfft."

Elder Li suddenly burst out laughing, "I wonder what kind of expression Elder Su will have when he finds out his daughter has been 'kidnapped'."

Su Xin doted on Su Xinyan greatly; this was known to all the Elders of the Lingyue Sect.

Back then, a talented Disciple from the Danqi Sect liked Su Xinyan and relentlessly pursued her. When Su Xin found out, he went directly to the Danqi Sect and broke his leg.

You must know that the Danqi Sect, like the Seven Stars Sect, was a second-tier power, but because they were skilled in Alchemy and Artifact Refining, they had excellent connections in the Great Qi Dynasty, and various major forces would maintain good relations with them.

Su Xin doing this almost caused the two Sects to fight.

Now that his daughter had been directly 'kidnapped', what would he do?

Although Elder Li was very curious, he didn't dare to be the one to inform. This was because Su Xinyan's eyes today were full of warning.

If he informed, the outcome for Xu Qingzhou was uncertain, but he himself would definitely not escape disaster.

So it was best for him to just know about this matter and not dare to speak carelessly.
