Chapter 1366: Chapter 690: A Terrifying Enemy

For the blue-clad man, he happened to be in seclusion within Xinyu City, and it was only after being earnestly requested by his sect juniors that he came. Just now, he had been supporting from the shadows, clearly hoping that the younger disciples of the Washing Sword Pavilion could capture Ning Xiaoxian so he wouldn’t have to intervene. With his sharp eyesight, he had already seen that Ning Xiaoxian was injured and weaker than an ordinary person. For an Immortal of his cultivation, taking action to capture a defenseless woman was already quite a degrading act. If it weren’t for the fact that Ning Xiaoxian was too important to the Hidden Stream and Shaking Heaven God, he wouldn’t even consider it.

Thinking of this, he silently cursed the younger generation of the Washing Sword Pavilion for being utterly incompetent, failing to handle even the few before them, requiring him to personally make the capture.

Huangfuming clasped Ning Xiaoxian’s hand, never letting go. She took a deep breath and turned to him, saying: “You won’t survive either.”

If Wu Li took action, it signified that the Washing Sword Pavilion secretly tore up the battle agreement. In such a case, not only would he need to take her back, but those who witnessed his actions, such as Huangfuming and others, would have to be silenced, or else news would leak to the Hidden Stream, and the entire Washing Sword Pavilion would face the thunderous wrath of Shaking Heaven God. He didn’t think his side’s power could surpass Tianling Pavilion’s.

Ning Xiaoxian also knew that if she were taken back to the Washing Sword Pavilion by Wu Hai, she wouldn’t survive either, for the same reasons.

Huangfuming saw the brilliance flashing in her Qiushui-like eyes, and the indifferent distance over the past few days was finally gone. His grip involuntarily tightened as he gazed at her, saying: “Between you and me, is there any talk of burdening each other?” He gave Wu Hai a glance and suddenly said, “If I survive this great disaster, you must agree to one condition for me.”

Ning Xiaoxian looked at him curiously, “What?” Was this kid like a calf unafraid of the tiger? Everyone here together could perhaps cause Wu Hai some trouble, but he feared they were not up to facing him.

Huangfuming laughed: “Officially acknowledge the Old Grand Dowager of the King Jinghai Mansion as your grandmother and formally become my sister!”

Wu Li, upon hearing the words “King Jinghai Mansion,” couldn’t help but twitch between his eyebrows. His gaze swept back and forth over the few people, and his face turned even gloomier. These few were actually from the fiercely protective King Jinghai Mansion. It seemed they would indeed need to be thoroughly eliminated to avoid the Washing Sword Pavilion facing both the Hidden Stream and the King Jinghai Mansion, or their demise would come too swiftly. Thinking of this, even his detached mind developed two parts anxiety, stepping forward slightly, he said: “Now that your goodbyes are over, it’s time to be on your way!”

Ning Xiaoxian couldn’t believe that on the brink of death, Huangfuming was still pondering this matter, and in surprise, she said: “No!” What if they didn’t die today? She didn’t understand why this kid was so obsessed, insisting on recognizing her as his sister. Huangfuming’s evil aura was abundant, and subconsciously, she didn’t want to engage with him too much.

Huangfuming’s face darkened: “I’m about to die, yet such a small wish, you won’t satisfy?” Seeing the dissatisfaction on his face, which was no different from the expression when he was still young and sulking with her, Ning Xiaoxian couldn’t tell if she should be angry or amused.

Both of them treated Wu Li’s words as if they were just beside their ears, unheard.

Having basked in tribute within the sect, he had never been so disregarded, and now coldly laughed: “Truly an ignorant kid,” stepping one foot forward slightly, increasing the pressure on everyone present.

Huangfuming pursed his lips, exerting a bit of force with his foot. Xu Liangyu “wa” spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly regained consciousness. Opening his eyes and seeing Wu Li, he immediately exclaimed in delight: “Grandmaster Wu, save me!” Ultimately, his injuries were too severe, and though he wished to shout, his voice was hoarse and weak.

After all, this little guy was the junior master’s son; Wu Li had to give his father some face. Upon hearing the plea, he frowned and said: “Let him go, and I’ll grant you all a full corpse later.”

Xu Liangyu wore a bitter expression, cursing inwardly whether this Grandmaster Wu had practiced to the point of damaging his brain – speaking like this, how could Huangfuming possibly spare him?

Sure enough, Huangfuming grinned: “Since death is inevitable, why not drag someone along as a cushion? To have someone to bully along Huangquan Road.” Stepping down again with greater force this time, cracking sounds were heard. Who knows how many ribs he broke, and although Xu Liangyu was in great pain, he couldn’t scream, only moaning incessantly.

Wu Li angrily shouted: “Release him!”

Huangfuming smiled and said: “As you wish.” Then placed a hand on the back of Ning Xiaoxian’s head; she felt a rush of drowsiness overwhelming her, and despite knowing the dire situation, she couldn’t resist falling into a deep sleep.
