Chapter 45 43. The Curtain Falls
The sky was brilliantly lit up, and the dark night was driven away by the clear day.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The water gathered in the courtyard was clear and bright, and the dust shone.
"Is that so?"
When Tian Liuli thought she controlled the whole situation and was assured of victory, she revealed a smile.
Xu Yuan slowly revealed a gentle smile to her.
Tian Liuli hated this smile very much.
Or rather, she hated the meaning hidden behind the smile even more.
"Do you really think you've won?"
Xu Yuan's lips carried a hint of a mocking smile, looking dazzlingly bright under the intense daylight, displaying his handsome and impressive demeanor.
"Otherwise, what?"
Tian Liuli narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly.
Just as she was about to make Xu Yuan swallow the Life and Death Bead to imprison him,
a strange mist started rising from the ground.
Tian Liuli initially wanted to ignore it, considering they had slaughtered most of the demons the previous day, but there were still many remnants.
No!
Was this a sign of a major demon being born?
But suddenly, she noticed something was amiss.
At the same time, the hint of demon aura floated exactly to the height of her cheeks, and a powerful force suddenly surged from under her feet.
Suddenly, the demon aura soared into the sky, overturning the whole Ancient Moon Town.
Xu Yuan's lips curled into a smile, and a tremor from the ground followed immediately beneath his feet.
"Did you do this?"
Tian Liuli looked at him and then shook her head, "No, this wasn't your doing."
Suddenly, a flash of understanding crossed her mind, like the first light of creation.
She heard screams coming from underground and suddenly remembered the people Liu Ruoxue had sent before.
Could it be that they were here to break the seal?
She looked to Lin Qingque, but she also appeared to be perplexed.
"So, he guessed that someone would accidentally break the seal?"
Tian Liuli grew even more confused.
But now was clearly not the time to ponder, regardless, the most urgent matter was to restrain him.
She suddenly stretched out a hand reaching for Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan said with a faint smile.
His smile was gentle and scholarly, yet it was filled with a thin chill.
Liu Ruoxue paused slightly, then understood.
She realized who he was referring to.
A moment later, she suddenly noticed something was amiss.
"Why do you worry that Sword Sect disciples might not have died?"
Liu Ruoxue recalled what he had mentioned earlier and, in conjunction with the Illusory Realm in his hand, suddenly had a bold idea.
"Do you want to infiltrate the Sword Sect?"
She guessed his intention.
"Yes."
Under her gaze, Xu Yuan nodded.
His visit to the Sword Sect was not only to investigate matters related to the Outer Domain Demon, but it also bore the implication of hiding from these two people.
Unfortunately, although Lin Qingque was quite easy to deceive, whenever she approached him, some strange thoughts that did not belong to him would arise in his mind, so he needed some time away from her.
Otherwise, turning her into his enforcer wouldn't be a difficult task.
He narrowed his eyes, matched the number of disciples below accordingly, then looked towards the clouds at the end of the sky and whispered, "Let's go."
"Are we leaving just like that?"
Liu Ruoxue was slightly startled.
"Yes, there's no chance now."
Xu Yuan sighed, his expression tinged with a trace of melancholy.
He could see that the demon beast, having been sealed for too long, had its realm fallen to the Half-step Nascent Soul Stage, and with the current strength of the two, dealing with it was not particularly difficult.
Should he not take away this Illusory Realm?
No...
Xu Yuan shook his head, even if he did not take away Lin Qingque's fortune talisman, the situation for him would only be worse.
On the contrary, now that he possessed it, he finally had some leeway to contend with the two of them.
"I have done nothing wrong, on the contrary, I should even more make use of my foreknowing advantage to take their opportunities ahead of time."
Xu Yuan silently made up his mind.
Liu Ruoxue was still hesitating.
She did not know what consequences it would lead to by bringing Xu Yuan to the Sword Sect.
Yet, seeing his already ascending figure, Liu Ruoxue heaved a sigh and could only slowly follow after him.
At this moment, she did not know that this marked the beginning of the Sword Sect becoming the sickly fervent Harmony Sect.
