“All set up. Any team leaving the Zixiao Region territory will be under our control," Qianhu, who had one arm broken, replied in a low voice.
Wang Xuanyang nodded with a satisfied smile, and his eyes gleamed lustfully. "Su Youwei is a superb furnace. If we can seize her yin source, it will benefit me greatly. But it’s a pity that we have to operate incomplete secrecy and clean up well afterward. We have to get rid of her in the end. Otherwise, it would be enjoyable to have her around.”
Qianhu said after some hesitation, "I'm worried Dong Ye will go crazy then.”
"If we do things cleanly, she can't do anything to me even if she has her suspicions." Wang Xuanyang smiled.
"Wu Yao from the Wushen Region is also excellent, but Guan Qinglong seems to have a thing for her. That guy shouldn’t be messed with, so it’s best not to anger him for the time being.”
Wang Xuanyang licked his lips, and a sinister smile curved up at the corners of his mouth. "But if we can collect those two yin sources, Guan Qinglong might not be able to do anything to me afterward…"
Qianhu looked a little terrified. After all, Guan Qinglong, who was ranked number one on the Heavenly Sun List, was too powerful. Even someone as fierce as Qianhu feared Guan Qinglong from the bottom of his heart.
Wang Xuanyang shot a glance at him, contempt flashing across his eyes. Waving his fan, he strode down the mountain.
"Remember to report any updates to me."
While Wang Xuanyang waited, six days passed.
But he wasn’t anxious at all. Dong Ye valued Su Youwei very much and wouldn’t let her out; however, Wang Xuanyang didn’t believe she could lock her in all the time. After all, Su Youwei had also come to Guyuan Heaven to search for opportunities, not to be a prisoner.
And it was indeed as Wang Xuanyang thought.
On the ninth day, a message arrived.
"The Zixiao Region will search for a low-class vein, and a veteran advanced Heavenly Sun expert will lead the team as Su Youwei assists…"
In the camp, as Wang Xuanyang read the scroll in front of him, his eyes fixed fiercely on Su Youwei's name. Then, he stretched out his finger and stroked it gently with a drunken look.
"Little beauty, you will soon fall into my hands. I hear you have a good relationship with Zhou Yuan. Haha, that’s even better…"
He flicked his sleeve, got up and walked out of the camp. At that moment, stars were dotting the night sky like grains of sand.
However, Wang Xuanyang was in no mood to admire the stars or moon. Black-and-white light flowed around his body as he vanished into thin air.
But when Wang Xuanyang disappeared, a figure sitting cross-legged that he didn’t see opened his eyes. It was Zhao Mushen.
A strange arc curved his lips as he peered in the direction that Wang Xuanyang had left.
...
A team of more than 300 people from the Zixiao Region was stationed somewhere in the mountains. The clusters of campfire broke up the dim light of night.
Su Youwei stood gracefully on the hill where the camp was set up. Her slim and beautiful figure was even more captivating in the hazy night. Her eyes flickered like stars over the forest shrouded by the dark night.
The leader of her team was a veteran advanced Heavenly Sun expert from the Zixiao Region, and their mission during the trip was to capture a low-class ancestral qi vein in the mountain range.
Of course, this was only what it appeared on the surface.
Their real goal was to lure out Wang Xuanyang.
However, they had stayed in the camp for a few days, yet there were no signs of Wang Xuanyang. He had to be secretly checking whether there was any danger. But Zhou Yuan and Dong Ye were both extremely well prepared, so how could Wang Xuanyang detect their presence?
The two sides were like hunters eyeing the same prey, except that one of the hunters didn’t know that the prey had already cooperated with the other hunter.
In truth, Su Youwei wasn’t too angry that Wang Xuanyang was after her because her mind was only focused on the fact that Zhou Yuan had come to protect her the moment he knew someone wanted to harm her.
"His Highness still cares about me…"
Under the dim light of night, the beautiful girl secretly pursed her lips and smiled. Her flirtatious expression mesmerized everyone in the camp, be it male or female.
It was at that moment Su Youwei suddenly felt an extremely hot gaze fixate on her in the dark night.
Su Youwei pursed her little red lips, but a chilling murderous intent flashed across the depths of her eyes.
Wang Xuanyang is indeed here!
As the campfires blazed, Su Youwei suddenly felt that the noisy camp had become quieter. She narrowed her beautiful eyes and shifted her gaze to the camp. All figures stood in the same spot, and their eyes were clearly open, but there was a dead, lifeless look on everyone’s face.
"Poisoned..." Su Youwei's face turned icy-cold. “When did this happen?”
Su Youwei smelled a whiff of a very faint aroma emitted from the burning campfires.
Wang Xuanyang must have put poison into the campfires without anybody knowing…
The strange scent also penetrated Su Youwei’s nose, and even if she held her breath, it still invaded her body. However, the poisonous gas had no effect on her. Su Youwei circulated her Genesis Qi and completely dissolved the poison.
A surprised voice sounded from the darkness. "Huh? You dissolved my Spirit Confusion Fog? Only extremely high-grade Genesis Qi can do that. And even among the grade-7 Genesis Qi, only a very few of the top Genesis Qi types can just barely withstand its effect. But no one could dispel the poison as fast as you.”
Su Youwei peered coldly in the direction the voice sounded from and saw a figure slowly emerge from the dark. Black-and-white light flowed around his body, making him appear illusionary and difficult to perceive.
But Su Youwei was relieved to see him. It was Wang Xuanyang!
Since he’s here, senior sister Dong Ye won’t get mad at His Highness, Zhou Yuan.
Su Youwei stared coldly at Wang Xuanyang, but she didn't want to say even half a word to him because she found him disgusting.
Wang Xuanyang didn't mind the look of disgust in Su Youwei's eyes. He drew in a long whiff, seeming intoxicated by the delicate fragrance coming from Su Youwei’s body.
He smiled. "Miss, the scenery is beautiful, and the time is perfect. Would you like to spend the night with me—?”
But before Su Youwei said anything, a woman filled with murderous rage blasted through the mountains and forests. At the same time, Genesis Qi accumulated in space and transformed into an icy white glass roaring towards Wang Xuanyang.
"Wang Xuanyang, go to your Wanzu Region to find a dog to spend the night with you!”
Chapter 1104 Wang Xuanyang’s Backup
Boom!
When the icy voice containing thick killing intent echoed throughout the mountains and forests, a gush of waterfall-like snow-white Genesis Qi roared towards Wang Xuanyang.
It was obvious that the sudden attack startled Wang Xuanyang a little. He stood there blankly till a gush of cold air assaulted his face, and he snapped out of his shock.
A jet of black-and-white Genesis Qi spurted from his opened mouth, forming a shield of light in front of him.
Bang!
The icy torrent of Genesis Qi and the black-and-white shield collided.
Frost spread like lightning across the ground, instantly turning the nearby sea of trees into crystal-clear ice trees.
Wang Xuanyang swiftly drew back and slid across the frosted ground. He immediately swung his sleeves to steady his body as he stared in the direction of where the attack came from. His expression changed abruptly, and his brows wrinkled in a frown. “Dong Ye?”
Under his intent gaze, a figure shrouded in frost walked out from the darkness, and a pair of eyes pierced Wang Xuanyang like icicles.
"Wang Xuanyang, how dare you stretch your disgusting claws toward someone of
my Zixiao Region?!" Dong Ye's eyes were full of killing intent. She knew of Wang Xuanyang's purpose of coming, so she naturally burst into anger.
Wang Xuanyang rolled his eyes and lifted his hand. “Dong Ye, if I say this is a misunderstanding, would you believe me?”
The corners of Dong Ye’s lips curved into an icy and determined sneer. “From now on, in Guyuan Heaven, your Wanzu Region is my Zixiao Region’s enemy.”
The smile on Wang Xuanyang's face faded. He had never expected Dong Ye’s stance to be so firm. Once she said this, they would have to fight to the death.
He narrowed his eyes, a dangerous and chilling aura flowing around his eyes. “Dong Ye, you are the Zixiao Region’s leader. You can't act so wilfully. Do you know what consequences your actions could bring?
"Have you considered the safety of your thousands of Zixiao Region team members?”
Bang!
However, Dong Ye blasted out and responded to his threat with a torrent of icy qi. She reached into the torrent and pulled out a crystal-clear jade bow.
Buzz!
Dong Ye drew the bow at lightning speed. An icy arrow shot out with incredible speed and disappeared into thin air in a flash. When it reappeared, it was already in front of Wang Xuanyang.
Humph!
Wang Xuanyang coldly snorted and threw out a punch. Black-and-white Genesis Qi rapidly flowed around his fist. A seemingly simple punch caused space to crack. It was obvious how terrifying his Genesis Qi foundation was.
Wang Xuanyang's fist collided with the icy arrow, distorting the fabric of space.
But just as the arrow was on the verge of being destroyed, its shape abruptly changed into an ice chain, and it shot out like a bolt of lightning. It coiled around Wang Xuanyang's body like a white python, binding him firmly.
Dong Ye's face was icy-cold as she pulled the bowstring. Icy Genesis Qi swiftly gathered on the bowstring, and faintly, a white glass image seemingly formed on the ice arrow.
“White Glass Genesis-Sealing Arrow!”
Buzz!
As the bowstring vibrated, icy white glass roared through space, aiming directly at Wang Xuanyang who was bound by the ice chain.
The White Glass Genesis-Sealing Arrow was one of Dong Ye’s strongest attacks. Once it struck, the extremely cold Genesis Qi would penetrate one’s body and seal one’s Genesis Qi, thereby weakening one’s strength.
“Haha.”
But when the Genesis-sealing arrow pointed towards Wang Xuanyang, he emitted a low sneer, and a special flame blazed around his body.
The flame was milky-white, fierce and burning hot.
The flame cleanly incinerated the ice chain the moment it appeared.
He raised two fingers into the air, and a flame gathered at his fingertips. Then, a beam of flame shot out with a boom, colliding with the Genesis-sealing arrow. In the end, both were annihilated.
“Dong Ye, although your ice Genesis Qi can freeze everything, it has no effect on me, unfortunately for you. My Little Sun Flame was refined over the years by collecting yin and replenishing my yang. It is best suited to deal with women like you.”
Wang Xuanyang collected women’s yin to strengthen his yang qi, and when his yang qi flourished, he refined the so-called Little Sun Flame. Once the flame invaded a woman's body, it could cause her blood to boil, her body to burn, and her organs to incinerate.
"Let me try it on you too!”
But when Wang Xuanyang's voice faded, space suddenly tore apart, and another slender figure flashed out, swinging down a scarlet blade.
Wrapped in boundless blazing qi, the crimson blade slashed towards Wang Xuanyang's head. As the blade came slashing at Wang Xuanyang, it ripped deep marks in the ground.
“Qin Lian?!”
Wang Xuanyang’s pupils shrank rapidly when the familiar sparrow’s cry rang out. However, before he could think too much, he quickly unfolded his black-and-white jade fan and sent two beams of black-and-white light through the air. The two beams transformed into a pair of black-and-white scissors.
Clang!
The scissors fiercely collided with the Scarlet Sparrow Blade, and a berserk Genesis Qi shock wave erupted.
Qin Lian's strong and beautiful figure blasted back, and she steadied herself atop a crystal-clear ice tree. She pointed her Crimson Sparrow Blade at Wang Xuanyang as she looked at him with an icy stare.
Wang Xuanyang’s face darkened as he looked at the two women.
It was normal to see Dong Ye, but Qin Lian's appearance made him feel a hint that this was a scheme.
This was clearly a trap targeted at him.
But how did they know that I would attack Su Youwei today?
“Interesting—
"It seems the Zixiao Region and the Tianyuan Region are planning to join forces. The second and sixth on the Heavenly Sun List have joined forces to try to eliminate me?” Wang Xuanyang peered into the darkness in another direction. “There’s also grand elder Zhou Yuan, isn’t that right?”
There, he felt a faint fluctuation of Genesis Qi. A figure slowly strode out from the darkness, staring indifferently at Wang Xuanyang. It was Zhou Yuan.
"Haha, what a line-up," Wang Xuanyang sneered. "But can I ask, how do you know about my movements?”
Zhou Yuan clenched his hand, and the Heavenly Yuan Brush appeared in his grip. He said indifferently, "You’re going to die. Why ask about this?”
Since they had already acted, they needed to eliminate Wang Xuanyang to avoid future trouble.
The black-and-white jade fan in Wang Xuanyang's hand quivered, and his narrowed eyes glinted cold and sinisterly. "Zhou Yuan, although your ambush surprised me, you shouldn’t underestimate my ability. Do you really think I’m an idiot? Do you think I would be unprepared?"
A jade tablet appeared as Wang Xuanyang stretched out his hand. He crushed it casually.
When Zhou Yuan, Dong Ye and Qin Lian heard his words, their expressions tensed.
To think Wang Xuanyang came prepared!
And just a few seconds after Wang Xuanyang crushed the jade tablet, Zhou Yuan and the others felt a wave of Genesis Qi erupt from afar and quickly approach them.
A few seconds later.
A figure descended from the sky and landed atop a tree.
Zhou Yuan’s and the others’ expressions changed when they saw who it was.
Li Zhu from the Yaogui Region!
This was unexpected to all of them. No one thought Wang Xuanyang would secretly contact Li Zhu and ask him to come!
"Wang Xuanyang, you are in big trouble." Li Zhu frowned as he analyzed the situation.
Wang Xuanyang shrugged. “Fell into a trap.”
"Li Zhu, I will deal with Dong Ye and Qin Lian. You only need to capture Zhou Yuan.”
Qin Lian said in an icy voice, "Li Zhu, do you want to join the fight between our three regions? If you intervene, you will become an enemy of my Zixiao Region.”
However, Li Zhu's expression remained unchanged in the face of their threats. Evidently, he had considered that long ago. “Since I have chosen to join forces with Wang Xuanyang, I naturally won’t be threatened by you.”
He shifted his gaze to Wang Xuanyang. "Just deal with Zhou Yuan? That's fine, but if the Zixiao Region and the Tianyuan Region are angered, you have to double the reward.”
Wang Xuanyang raised his brows and said, "No problem.”
He immediately grinned at Zhou Yuan, Qin Lian and Dong Ye.
"Now, we can have some fun tonight.”
Chapter 1105 Two Against One?
Li Zhu’s sudden appearance ruined Zhou Yuan’s plan to encircle and suppress Wang Xuanyang.
Ranked seventh on the Hunyuan Heaven’s Heavenly Sun List, Li Zhu was just ranked behind Qin Lian, which means his strength shouldn’t be underestimated.
Dong Ye wrinkled his brows and immediately glanced at Zhou Yuan. "You won’t hinder us, will you?”
If Li Zhu captured Zhou Yuan, Qin Lian would hold back attacking, and the situation would
turn disadvantageous for them.
Seeing Dong Ye's questioning gaze, Zhou Yuan didn't answer her and instead asked, "Can you two deal with Wang Xuanyang?”
Although Dong Ye was ranked third on the Heavenly Sun List and Qin Lian sixth, and their combined strength almost equaled Wang Xuanyang’s, Zhou Yuan knew that Wang Xuanyang wasn’t easy to deal with.
Dong Ye and Qin Lian exchanged a glance and saw a rather solemn look in each other’s eyes. Although Wang Xuanyang’s behavior was disgusting, they had to agree his strength was remarkable.
Among all Heavenly Sun experts of their generation, only Wang Xuanyang could pose a little threat to Guan Qinglong. This point alone was enough to show Wang Xuanyang's tyrannical strength. Therefore, even if they joined forces against Wang Xuanyang, they still wouldn’t dare to say that they had an absolute chance of winning.
Seeing the two women’s expressions, Zhou Yuan pursed his lips. It seems they aren’t confident in winning. I have to get rid of Li Zhu as soon as possible and assist them.
Shua!
Wang Xuanyang smiled at Zhou Yuan, cold killing intent gleaming in the depths of his eyes. Immediately after, his figure soared into the sky and charged into the distance.
"Li Zhu, I leave him to you.”
As soon as he moved, Dong Ye and Qin Lian erupted in Genesis Qi and pursued him.
After several breaths, a frightening Genesis Qi storm raged in the distance, and the ground quaked violently. The fight between the three had started, and terrifying Genesis Qi rapidly tore the entire mountain range apart.
Li Zhu didn't glance at the battle in the distance. He smiled at Zhou Yuan. "I heard that Xu Ming was defeated in your hands at the nine regions tournament?”
Zhou Yuan stared at Li Zhu and said, "If you don't want to follow in his footsteps, I suggest you leave. We will pretend we never saw you here.”
Li Zhu chuckled, shaking his head. There was some contempt and mockery in his eyes as he stared at Zhou Yuan.
"What? Grand elder Zhou Yuan wants to drive me away with just words? Unfortunately for you, a grand elder’s authority doesn’t have any effect on people from the other regions.”
