Chapter 1526 - 1506: Chi Long's Plot

When Yang Xiao arrived at the nearby villa where Xing Zhe was staying, he saw more than a dozen people standing outside the villa.

Upon descending, Yang Xiao discovered that they were Jiang En, Jiang Hao, Lv Ling, and others.

These people were all friends of Xing Zhe.

Seeing Yang Xiao approaching, Jiang En and the others immediately walked up and smiled:

"Brother Yang, you've gone through a lot, but after surviving such a disaster, there will surely be future blessings!"

"Yang Xiao, after you and Xing Zhe had an incident, Jiang En hurried back to the academy to ask the leaders to rescue you. Because you two couldn't be found, Brother Jiang En was distressed for a long time."

Yang Xiao shook Jiang En's hand,

"Thank you, Brother Jiang En, for your concern."

"It's my fault for not taking good care of you. I was the team captain that day, and each of your safety was my responsibility. I'm ashamed!"

Xing Zhe came out and said:

"Yang Xiao, my villa was rented by Jiang En and others, and now it's transferred back to me."

Jiang Hao, standing nearby, immediately explained:

"Yang Xiao, we also applied to rent your villa, but Mei Lan beat us to it. She was the first to apply to rent your villa."

Yang Xiao smiled lightly,

"It's fine."

Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe returned safely, and Jiang En was very happy.

"Yang Xiao, Xing Zhe, tonight I'm hosting a gathering. Let's all get together to ease your nerves."

"Sure, thank you."

"Xing Zhe, you've just returned, take a moment to tidy up the villa and rest. We'll meet at the second-floor restaurant of Cafeteria 1 tonight. See you there."

"Okay."

Jiang En and the others bid farewell to Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe and went their separate ways.

Xing Zhe invited Yang Xiao inside the villa and closed the door.

"Yang Xiao, did you see Mei Lan when you went to Villa 68?"

"Yes, I saw her."

"There's no need to search for other apartments to rent. Just move in with me."

"Would that be appropriate?"

"Why wouldn't it be appropriate? There are four or five rooms here. I only come back here to sleep and soak in the hot spring, so it's quite empty,

having you around to talk to would make it livelier."

"Aren't you worried I'll consume the evolution energy from your hot spring?"

"Nah, if you like it, you can soak in it all day long without a problem."

After cultivating in the underground tunnel for five months, Xing Zhe's genetic evolution speed increased rapidly, equivalent to 2-3 years of regular cultivation at Wuji Academy. He's too happy to worry about the little evolution energy from the hot spring now.

Yang Xiao, also feeling unreserved, said:

"Very well, then I won't be polite with you about it."

"I've never seen you be polite before."

"...."

That evening, Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe went to the second floor of Cafeteria 1 at the academy, where Jiang En and seven or eight good friends were waiting for the two in a private room.

Jiang En introduced Yang Xiao to his friends, and Yang Xiao is now considered a part of Jiang En's circle of friends.

Jiang En ranks higher than Xing Zhe on the war god combat power list at Wuji Academy and is like a big brother to this group of people.

...

While Yang Xiao and others were drinking and eating meat together, a different scene unfolded inside Chu Tian's villa.

Inside, only Chu Tian and Chi Long were present.

After half a day of healing, Chu Tian's wounds were mostly healed, allowing him to walk freely.

Chu Tian took another special healing elixir from the Phantom Feather Tribe, estimating that the wounds would be 80% healed in about three days.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely oppressive.

Chi Long, after listening to Chu Tian's account, sneered coldly:

"Yang Xiao dared challenge me? If he's unafraid of death, I'll grant him his wish."

"Chi Long, don't underestimate Yang Xiao. The first time I fought him, I felt his combat power was immense. Last time at Cultivation Field 101, we attacked Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe together, and it was only because of the surprise attack that we managed to defeat them.

Yang Xiao challenged you to a duel at Cultivation Field 101. You need to be prepared."

Chi Long looked at the injured Chu Tian.

Even now, Chu Tian's face was bruised and swollen, looking exceptionally miserable.

"Chu Tian, it's not that I want to criticize you, but even as an Emperor Level Realm expert ranking close to thirty on the war god combat power list, how did you get ambushed by Yang Xiao?"

Chu Tian's expression turned awkward, and he said bitterly:

"Could you have guessed that Yang Xiao would brazenly ambush me in front of so many people?"

Chi Long shook his head.

"That's precisely what's unique about Yang Xiao. This guy banks on us not reporting his brawling incidents, which is why he dares to attack me openly.

Moreover, we truly can't report him, otherwise, we'd be exposing our attempt to murder Yang Xiao at Cultivation Field 101. That would be biting off our own noses to spite our faces."

Chi Long gritted his teeth and said:

"Yang Xiao is ultimately a menace. In that case, we should take this duel opportunity to kill him and eliminate future troubles."

Chu Tian nodded,

"I've thought the same, but do you have any plan? Killing Yang Xiao isn't an easy task."

"When Yang Xiao duels me, how many people will he bring as support? Or will he go alone?"

"The academy doesn't permit private fights, but the academy doesn't concern itself with off-campus matters.

Yang Xiao challenged you to a duel at Cultivation Field 101. It's likely he'll bring Xing Zhe, Jiang En, and others. Our only chance to kill him is during the duel,

Chi Long, you're ranked 28th on the war god list, so you should be about on par with Yang Xiao."

Chi Long gave Chu Tian a side-eye and sneered:

"You sound like you're looking down on me!"

"I didn't mean it that way. I just don't want you to suffer another mishap. From my perspective, your combat power is stronger than Yang Xiao's, but killing him might not be so easy unless,"

"Unless what?"

"Didn't Yang Xiao say he challenged you to a duel three days later at Cultivation Field 101?"

"Mm?"

"Get there ahead of time and lay down your special poison. During the duel, as long as Yang Xiao inhales some of the poison you dispersed in advance, he will undoubtedly perish in combat."

Chi Long listened and chuckled sinisterly,

"Chu Tian, it seems Yang Xiao hasn't beaten all the sense out of you. You still remember my strengths."

"Chi Long, whenever you mention this, it makes me want to tear Yang Xiao to pieces. Three days from now, I'll go with you."

"In your condition, are you sure you can?"

"Rest assured, even if I can't fully recover, I'll heal enough. I must personally see how Yang Xiao meets his end."

...

After the gathering disbanded, Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe returned to the villa and soaked in the hot spring together while chatting.

The genetic evolution energy from the hot spring flowed into their bodies, which made them feel relaxed all over, and even the drunkenness from the drinking began to dissipate slowly.

Suddenly, Xing Zhe remembered something and said:

"Yang Xiao, are you really planning to duel Chi Long three days from now?"

"Mm, do you think I'm joking?"

"Chi Long is more formidable than Chu Tian, especially with his poisoning skills. You need to be cautious. I just have an uneasy feeling about this."

Yang Xiao smiled slightly and said:

"No need to worry. Three days from now, Chi Long is as good as dead."

"I know your combat power is strong, but it's better to be careful. I'll call Jiang En, Jiang Hao, and the others to go with you. Even if you get defeated, Chi Long wouldn't dare to kill you."

"Please don't. Bringing Jiang En and the others might ruin my plans."
