Chapter 203: 129. Heaven and Earth Phenomenon
Dust scattered, drifting like goose down.
The sky's light converged into a column, illuminating the tall and handsome figure of the youth.
Even among the people in the Water Mirror, accustomed as they were to great storms and rare treasures, the True Persons with Nascent Souls showed surprise and greed at this moment.
They had never seen such a mystical and extraordinary item.
Merely upon contact, it caused a Magical Treasure that had developed its own True Spirit to lose all its luster.
Especially Si Shuang, when she saw that the embodiment of the little person was almost instantly powerless to resist, she felt a chill rise in her heart.
If it were used against her, wouldn't she be in great danger?
However, for some reason, she felt an inexplicable fondness towards the user of that item.
"This... is definitely an Ancient Wonder!"
White Ink, his face greedy, also loudly declared, "The item in this lad's hands is the lethal weapon that killed our Pavilion's True Spirit. The Pavilion Master and the True Spirit have a deep bond. This item must be presented to the Pavilion Master later for an explanation, and I hope no one foolish comes to disturb then, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The other Sect's True Persons with Nascent Souls were all expressionless. Just now, they had all learned the truth of the matter from their respective elders who had Returned to Void.
And now, after seeing the marvelous item in Xu Yuan's hands, they naturally couldn't help but be tempted.
Thus, it was impossible for anyone to willingly overlook such an item that could significantly undermine any sect's True Spirits with Nascent Souls.
White Ink obviously understood this as well, but all he needed was a pretext of righteousness.
Catching the various expressions of scheming among the crowd below, Jing Lixue's lips curled slightly, her eyes slightly bright.
Things were unfolding just as she had planned, step by step, towards the end she had orchestrated.
"Xu Yuan, don't worry... with me by your side, even being at odds with the whole world isn't a bad thing for you."
Xu Yuan was unaware of her thoughts at the moment. If he knew, he certainly would have said, who wants to be on bad terms with the whole world?
His goal was widespread benevolence, yet Jinxue only thought of making him everyone's adversary.
It had to be said, compared to other yandere, Jing Lixue was indeed more terrifying.
This was also why he always kept his guard up around her, and even in games, he picked her the least.
Being with this woman, there was a very high chance of being resented for things he hadn't even done.
However, even if Xu Yuan were aware of it now, he likely wouldn't have the leisure to complain about her schemes.
Because he was currently facing a very serious problem.
—the problem of being finished off by others.
White Ink, or rather the fully scheming Confucian-Mo Pavilion, clearly knew the ways of being a villain well.
They knew that villains die from living too long, dying because of no finishing stab.
Thus, to kill Xu Yuan, they were making every possible effort.
Not only making the setup perfect but also strengthening the details.
For instance, the first point.
They had successfully lured Tian Liuli away from Xu Yuan.
First by feigning weakness, using lower-level enemies to lure Tian Liuli into letting down her guard, and then trapping Tian Liuli with a Magical Treasure after separating the two.
And to prevent the plan from failing, they even considered what to do if Tian Liuli had not been lured away.
The True Spirit at the level of Primordial Spirit was clearly prepared for this.
Otherwise, to kill Xu Yuan, a fighter at the level of Nascent Soul would have been sufficient.
But considering that Tian Liuli might have some means to transfer to his side, they went through great pains to arrange a Primordial Spirit-level fight in the Inheritance Space to kill Xu Yuan.
However, what everyone did not anticipate was that, even without Tian Liuli, Xu Yuan was still just as difficult to deal with, not only improvising a maneuver to survive a blow from a Primordial Spirit but also possessing an item that was a nemesis to all True Spirits with Primordial Souls.
Yet, Xu Yuan had not expected their plan to be so thorough.
To guard against Tian Liuli having some means to stall the Primordial Spirit, they even arranged for someone to perform the finishing blow.
"I truly admire the skills of Xu Yuan,"
a youth with rosy lips and white teeth revealed his head from behind a rock, his face showing admiration, "to be able to forcefully exchange lives with a Primordial Spirit nurtured by our Pavilion, it's just a pity..."
He looked pensive, his lips curling into a smile, but he didn't rush to act. Instead, he quietly observed his surroundings with his Divine Sense to avoid falling into the same trap as his peers, while continuing, "It's a pity that fate is unpredictable, Xu my young and heroic friend. Otherwise, I would have liked to have a fair contest with you, but alas..."
Xu Yuan just coldly watched the other party, silent, as if to say, come on.
In the next moment, the admiration on the youth's face was completely withdrawn, transforming into an extremely cold intent to kill, "Fate does not favor us. Xu, it's time for you to depart."
A powerful and unmatched formidable aura erupted from him.
The youth who came to deliver the finishing blow was a formidable expert at the Great Perfection stage of Core Formation.
The Confucian-Mo Pavilion had indeed gone to great lengths to eliminate him, the Outer Domain Demon.
Xu Yuan felt a surge of anger within him.
If he had the chance in the future, he would surely uproot this Confucian-Mo Pavilion entirely.
The youth took a step forward, and an infinite light and heat burst forth from the palm of his hand. Find your next read at My Virtual Library Empire
