The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief

In Zhao Yi’s room.

A plate of peanuts, two cups of Peach Blossom Brew!

Zhao Yi took a sip and laughed, "I didn’t expect you to have such good wine hidden away!"

Liu Zixuan, with a cigarette in his mouth, laughed, "Back when I went to the Profound Sword Sect, I got it from Old Qing, and I never drank it."

"Brother Xuan, we’ve known each other for over a year now, haven’t we?" Zhao Yi squinted his eyes and laughed.

"Yeah, it’s hard to believe, but more than a year has passed just like that."

"This year was short, but you should understand my character. No matter what, I would never abandon my brothers."

"Old Zhao!" Liu Zixuan directly interrupted Zhao Yi and then said, "I’m not asking you to abandon your brothers. Instead, this arrangement is to protect all of our brothers, you know?"

"Protect? Brother Xuan, do you know what your actions from the moment you returned today until you walked into my room resemble?"

Zhao Yi gulped down a big mouthful of wine: "To be blunt, it’s like preparing for a funeral. You all are going to charge into battle, risking your lives, and you want me to hide away in this small town? To stay safe in Lingxiu Village? Isn’t that leaving the brothers behind?"

Liu Zixuan sneered, "If you say I’m preparing for a funeral, you’re not entirely wrong. But it’s not about me dying and leaving things behind; it’s about building up our strength in secret."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi frowned, "Building up strength in secret?"

"I just told you that the person behind the Willow Association’s ancestor has others backing him, but I didn’t mention the ambition of those behind him."

Liu Zixuan paused and said in a low voice, "Those backing him are not just involved in the Star Sea Martial Realm; they encompass almost all martial artists in the Star Sea, including Hidden Sects and even powerful forces from abroad."

"In the past, dealing with the Celestial Dao Alliance might have marked the end of the Star Sea Martial Realm. But now, destroying the Celestial Dao Alliance is just the beginning of a larger battlefield! The reason I arranged things this way is to ensure our foundation can stand firm on that bigger stage in the future, instead of being cannon fodder!"

Zhao Yi rubbed his forehead, "That’s a lot of information; I need to process this!"

Liu Zixuan was not in a hurry and continued drinking alone.

After a long while, Zhao Yi looked up, "Even if it’s as you said, there’s still one thing I can’t understand. Since you know the people behind him are extremely powerful, why are you only taking part of our people there?"

"First, I need to ensure our foundation doesn’t fall. Even if we suffer heavy losses, there will still be a chance for a comeback. Secondly, this arrangement is not about going to die; on the contrary, it’s the safest approach."

"The safest? What do you mean?" Zhao Yi asked solemnly.

"Think about it; if we go all out, the Celestial Dao Alliance definitely can’t withstand us, right?"

"That’s right!"

"If they can’t withstand us, they’ll definitely call those behind them to clean up the mess. But if we go in small numbers, they will certainly think they don’t need to notify their backers to resolve it. As long as their backers don’t show up, solely dealing with the Celestial Dao Alliance, we might not win completely but can remain undefeated."

Listening to Liu Zixuan, Zhao Yi suddenly understood, "I get it. You’re creating the illusion for the enemy, letting the person behind the Willow Association’s ancestor think we’re not worth them stepping in!"

"Exactly, but I’m no fool. There are follow-up preparations for sure. Suppose unknown variables aside, judging by our long-term plans combined with the people going, dealing with the Celestial Dao Alliance shouldn’t be much trouble, just a few might slip through!"

Turning the conversation, Liu Zixuan laughed, "Don’t forget, Yafei is eager to cooperate with us. If their backers appear, I can ask Yafei and her people to help. Firstly, they have the strength to counter those behind the Willow Association’s ancestor; secondly, this would indirectly reduce our losses!"

Liu Zixuan’s thoughts were straightforward.

The cooperation with Yafei’s side cannot be easily agreed to, nor can it be easily declined.

If the people behind the Willow Association’s ancestor don’t show up, Liu Zixuan is seventy percent confident in destroying the Celestial Dao Alliance. As for the remaining thirty percent, that depends on luck.

But if those people show up, he absolutely cannot damage his side’s strength under such circumstances, so he needs someone powerful as a shield!

And currently, the most suitable shield is Yafei and her people.

Calling it cooperation is essentially mutual exploitation!

Yafei and her people want treasures from Liu Zixuan, so they must pay the corresponding price for them!

Liu Zixuan would never engage in a losing deal.

Of course, he wouldn’t put all his eggs in one basket. Even without Yafei and her people, Liu Zixuan can ensure his foundation remains unshaken.

Behind Jiang Yunxuan is the Jiang Family.

Behind Xiaoxiao is the Profound Sword Sect.

Although these behemoths hidden in the shadows won’t easily intervene in Martial Realm affairs, if anything happens to Jiang Yunxuan or Xiaoxiao, their backers will definitely step in.

Although they won’t help Liu Zixuan deal with the Celestial Dao Alliance, at the very least, they can ensure the protection of the important people around him, right?

Keeping Xiaoxiao in the small town, and letting her return to Lingxiu Village in a few days, ensures that as long as she’s there, Lingxiu Village will remain peaceful.

Jiang Yunxuan accompanies Liu Zixuan to the Celestial Dao Alliance. If anything happens to him, the Jiang Family will surely take action. At that time, protecting him and Tiger is not a problem.

However, in all these arrangements, Liu Zixuan didn’t include himself.

The people around him have elixirs, cultivation techniques, and people to ensure their safety, but Liu Zixuan doesn’t.

At least, from the time he left Spirit Extinct Mountain and his beautiful master and entered the city until now, he has relied only on himself!

In other words, in the battle against the Celestial Dao Alliance, Liu Zixuan is the one at the greatest risk.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to be protected while doing all this; he simply has no other choice.

In this circumstance, someone has to take on the danger alone, and all these preparations boil down to preparing for the worst.

If something happens to him, everyone else around him will be fine; in fact, they might even be better off.

While talking, Liu Zixuan took out the elixirs and secret cultivation manuals from his pocket and handed them to Zhao Yi: "Within three days after we leave, regardless of success or failure, take everyone back to Lingxiu Village and distribute the secret cultivation manuals and elixirs. It will certainly strengthen our foundation."

Pointing to the smallest bottle, he continued, "The elixirs in there can enhance the realm and cultivation of Emperor Realm experts. If a strong enemy comes, take one, but don’t use it unless it’s absolutely necessary, got it?"

"Aren’t you keeping some for yourself?" Zhao Yi asked.

Liu Zixuan drank the rest of his wine, "I have some here. Remember what I said."

With that, he left Zhao Yi’s room and headed upstairs.
