Chapter 2351 - 2348: Torrent

They did not rush to attack the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld.

Emperor Ye has ordered that this battle must be conducted outside the realm.

They cannot go to the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld, nor use the Xuanwu Great World as the battlefield.

The one laying the array in the Xuanwu Great World.

Is none other than.

The leader of this generation from the Revenge Lineage’s Xuanwu Hall - Wu Tiangang!

Wu Tiangang stands holding a two-man-high brown gourd, pouring wine into his mouth.

Some of the spilled wine runs down Wu Tiangang’s neck, soaking the lush chest hair of this stout man.

This man, once claimed to be the most invincible presence before the Double Emperors, shows no sign of urgency for the impending great battle, rather leisurely enjoying his drink.

Beside Wu Tiangang, there’s also a girl in a purple dress with pigtail braids.

The purple-clad girl is munching on candied haws, her large eyes crinkled with laughter.

Because the candied haws are just too delicious.

"If I had known the Xuanwu Great World has such delicious candied haws, I would have come sooner."

The purple-clad girl mumbled indistinctly.

After a large gulp of wine, Wu Tiangang glanced at the purple-clad girl, "That’s just your nature."

The other Hall Masters, like Gan Feng, couldn’t help but feel embarrassed upon hearing this.

Because they all know the origin of this purple-clad girl.

She is none other than the Right Envoy of the Xuanwu Hall, named Zi Xuan.

She is not of the Human Clan, but a purple phoenix enlightened and brought into the Revenge Lineage by Zuo Shiran, eventually joining the Xuanwu Hall.

Tong Wuji stood beside Gan Feng, sneaking a glance at the girl named Zi Xuan.

Tong Wuji had seen this girl in the Revenge Lineage before.

At that time, he had just joined the Revenge Lineage and was undergoing the Vermilion Bird Hall assessment, not yet having joined the Black Blade Sect.

And back then, Zi Xuan was already one of the thirty-six Hall Masters of the Xuanwu Hall.

Meeting again.

He was merely a core member of the Black Blade Sect, while the other had become one of the Xuanwu Hall’s significant Envoys next to leader Wu Tiangang.

There was still quite a gap in status and position, plus with half of the Xuanwu Hall’s Hall Masters and Protectors present, he dared not speak out of turn.

"Senior Tong likes Senior Zi Xuan?"

It was Qiao Xinyu beside him who subtly sensed Tong Wuji’s affection, quietly sending a message.

"Cough cough cough!"

Without the question, Tong Wuji started coughing violently as soon as the question was asked.

This drew quite some attention.

Tong Wuji suddenly got flushed with embarrassment, even more afraid to look at Zi Xuan.

"Xinyu, don’t make such remarks!"

Tong Wuji hurriedly said.

Then he quietly transmitted, "Miss Zi Xuan can sense all transmissions..."

Qiao Xinyu’s eyes flashed with astonishment upon hearing this, glancing at Zi Xuan nearby and then at Tong Wuji, smiling with a hint of amusement, "Senior Zi Xuan is looking at you."

Tong Wuji’s head lowered even further.

"Brother Tong is so shy?" Gan Feng teased from the side.

Tong Wuji scratched his head repeatedly.

He’s shy my foot.

He’s brutally fierce when it comes to killing.

But in front of Miss Zi Xuan, he indeed felt terribly nervous.

"Greetings, Right Envoy."

"Greetings, Senior Zi Xuan."

At this time, Gan Feng, Qiao Xinyu, and others all spoke up.

Tong Wuji’s heart tightened, raising his head to look.

He saw Zi Xuan had already arrived in front of him, staring at him with a smile on her face.

Tong Wuji immediately blushed to his ears, stammering, "G-greetings, Miss Zi Xuan."

Zi Xuan gazed at Tong Wuji with squinted eyes, "Do you like me?"

Tong Wuji was dumbfounded, "Ah?"

Zi Xuan snorted, "If you like me, just say so."

"Hahaha..."

Peals of laughter erupted around them.

Many powerful members of the Xuanwu Hall watched this scene with great interest, seemingly anticipating something.

Qiao Xinyu beside Tong Wuji saw her senior still in a daze, and quietly signaled him.

Tong Wuji snapped back to reality, looking at the beloved figure he had longed for, just as he was about to muster the courage to speak, Zi Xuan had already spoken.

"It won’t matter even if you say it, as I only like eating candied haws."

Zi Xuan’s beautiful eyes sparkled with mischief, "Unless you can bring me the candied haws I like the most."

"Oh, this?"

Tong Wuji dumbfoundedly paused, then lightly brushed his hand through the void.

Buzz ————

A series of various peculiar candied haws appeared before him.

There were thousands of them!

Tong Wuji scratched his head, "Miss Zi Xuan, pick for yourself."

"Ah? You really have them!?"

Zi Xuan’s eyes sparkled upon seeing the scene.

The others were also astonished, then started pondering.

Wu Tiangang saw this, hiccupping drunkly, "This kid is thoughtful, but candied haws are no use; little Zi Xuan just tricks to get candied haws to eat."

Wu Tiangang nonchalantly scratched under his crotch, sniffed his fingers, and remarked to himself, "Why would Qin Qi choose this fool as his successor, doesn’t make sense..."

These last words were only audible to Wu Tiangang himself.

But the previous sentence, Tong Wuji heard as well.

A thread of disappointment flashed in his heart, realizing Miss Zi Xuan was only tricking for candied haws?

But the disappointment was fleeting; soon, Tong Wuji was smiling foolishly again.

Because these candied haws were prepared for Miss Zi Xuan, if she liked them, that was well enough!

And for the Xuanwu Hall members, this outcome wasn’t surprising at all.

Because amongst themselves, some have often been tricked for candied haws too.

This Right Envoy seemed uninterested in romance.

"Miss Zi Xuan, if you like, when this is over, I’ll personally make candied haws for you; I’ve prepared for a long time."

Tong Wuji finally gathered the courage to say such a thing.

"That would be great." Zi Xuan was ecstatic.

Tong Wuji also grinned.

Watching this, Qiao Xinyu’s lips beneath the veil couldn’t help but curl slightly.

Yet she seemed to remember something, feeling a bit lost.

She too had a man she adored.

Unfortunately, she lacked the courage to confess.

The gap was too wide.

Perhaps just like Senior Tong Wuji, seeing him well was enough.

But now he, might not be doing well...

Qiao Xinyu’s thoughts drifted.

Because at this moment, he was confronting the Double Emperors who betrayed him back then.

Indeed.

Qiao Xinyu harbored feelings.

The person she harbored feelings for was Ye Xuan.

Having followed Ye Xuan briefly, Qiao Xinyu’s heart could no longer hold anyone else.

Meanwhile.

In a dark corner of the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld.

A series of Void Gates were opened.

Terrifying existences began to slowly emerge from them.

Undying Pavilion leader Qi Changsheng.

Asura Hall leader Tan Xiaolu.

Dao Xuan Sect leader Zhou Xuanlin.

Black Blade Sect leader Nangong Bai.

White Tiger Hall leader Ye Zhen.

The five leaders had gathered in the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld.

And the one welcoming the five leaders, was none other than the person who had agreed to Ye Xuan’s arrangements in the Black Sky Ancient Netherworld—Azure Dragon Ghost Extreme, one of the Azure Dragon Seven Extremes.
