Chapter 1235: Former Enemies
When Liu Zixuan revealed the other key, everyone was pleasantly surprised.
There are four keys in total. If their side gets half of them, it will be more advantageous for the upcoming battle.
After all, if they lack one key, those foreign martial artists can use force to seize it. But if they have two keys in hand and use strategy to confuse them, the whole event will be shrouded in mystery. At that time, if the Yudu Treasure can’t be opened, those martial artists will have to leave dejectedly.
Although Liu Zixuan and members of the Four Symbols Sect are curious about what’s inside the Yudu Treasure, in the big picture, it’s better not to open that treasure. It remains as Star Sea’s treasure forever; if it’s opened, it might slowly get lost, and over time, without the treasure, the foundation will weaken.
After the surprise, Long Tengyun laughed, "Originally, I thought Wang Kun would either hide abroad with the key or collude with other foreign forces. Didn’t expect you’d get it in your hands."
Liu Zixuan nodded, "The matter of Dragon Spirit is quite complicated. Initially, Old Wang took a wrong path, and Wang Kun happens to be someone without much ambition. Star Sea is his home, so he eventually returned and personally handed the key to me."
"Given up on those grievances?" Sword Demon asked.
"What else can be done!" Liu Zixuan shrugged, "The news will spread quickly. They will all think Wang Kun is hiding with the key, while the other key has been auctioned off by some power. Little do they know, both are in our hands. Plus, by operating on our own land, we’ll have the greatest advantage."
"Hmm." Wu Zheng nodded, "I feel we should also make some arrangements around Yudu."
"I was thinking the same," Liu Zixuan said with a meaningful smile, "Setting up the Viper Binding Array recently near Yudu would definitely play a major role in the battle."
"Alright, then let’s split up. We’ll go arrange things near Yudu, while the remaining disciples will spread outside to both confront those martial artists and gather lots of information," Long Tengyun suggested.
"What about us?" Ya Fei asked.
Liu Zixuan touched his chin, "You can go to the Mo Family in the northwest. It’s closer to Yudu and the border area, take this time to bring all the experts from the Alliance of the World, but keep it hidden and make sure no outsiders know so many powerful individuals have appeared."
Ya Fei pondered for a moment, "Alright, I’ll set off immediately!"
With tasks assigned to both Four Symbols Sect and Alliance of the World, Luo Xi naturally had to ask.
Looking at Liu Zixuan smiling, "We won’t just stay put somewhere, right?"
"I..."
Liu Zixuan just opened his mouth when his phone suddenly rang. It was Zhao Yi calling.
Liu Zixuan raised his brow, his expression subtly changed.
When heading to Qian Nan, Liu Zixuan had called Gu Yu, asking Zhao Yi, Huzi, and Xiao Hu to head to the Four Symbols Sect to attend the auction.
But when Liu Zixuan returned to Four Symbols Sect, he didn’t see Zhao Yi and the others. At that point, he thought they might have been sidetracked by play on the way, not suspecting anything else. After all, given Zhao Yi’s current prowess, they wouldn’t have too many adversaries in the Martial Realm today.
So, Liu Zixuan didn’t mind, planning to call them after the auction ended. But now Zhao Yi was calling him proactively, making him sense that something might be wrong.
He immediately answered the call and asked, "What happened?"
"Brother Zixuan, where are you now?"
"At Four Symbols Sect!"
Zhao Yi chuckled, "Auction is over?"
Liu Zixuan’s mouth twitched slightly. From Zhao Yi’s tone, he seemed to sense that they encountered something good.
He promptly asked, "It’s been over for a while. What’s your situation, wasn’t it agreed that we’d come together?"
"We planned so, but encountered a few acquaintances on the way."
Listening to Zhao Yi’s intentionally mysterious tone, Liu Zixuan really felt like punching someone through the phone.
He angrily scolded, "What happened exactly, hurry and tell me!"
"Keep the mystery alive; I’ll send you the address soon. You’ll know once you come over; it will surprise you for sure." With that, without waiting for Liu Zixuan to scold him, Zhao Yi hung up the phone directly.
"What’s wrong?" Luo Xi asked.
"Who knows what that guy is up to," Liu Zixuan grinned, "But it seems like something good, let’s go."
With that, everyone bid farewell, and the two Supreme Elders of the Four Symbols Sect and three clan leaders returned to their respective families to dispatch disciples to various parts of Star Sea. Meanwhile, Ya Fei and others left the Four Symbols Sect heading towards the Mo Family in the northwest.
As for Liu Zixuan, Sword Demon, and others, upon coming ashore, they immediately drove to the address sent by Zhao Yi.
The destination was actually not far from Four Symbols Sect, in the forested suburb at the junction of two states.
About two hours later, Liu Zixuan and others arrived at the woods, and soon, Huzi came running over, laughing loudly.
Without saying a word, he immediately embraced Liu Zixuan, "Brother Zixuan, I missed you terribly."
"Ahem." Liu Zixuan pushed Huzi away, scolding disdainfully, "I don’t like hugging men."
Huzi scoffed and then laughed, "Brother Zixuan, during the last battle at Yudu, I thought I’d never see you again. But look, your big brother is alive again!"
"Can we talk business?" That line, Huzi had said to Liu Zixuan a thousand times in the past during Jiang Family times.
Huzi smiled mysteriously, "Guess who we met?"
"No idea!"
"Guess who we captured?"
"No idea!"

Huzi scratched his head, pretending to be generous, "Here’s a hint then, the people we met and captured were once our enemies."
Liu Zixuan rubbed his chin, genuinely unable to guess who it might be.
Feeling a bit impatient, he spoke, "Who exactly is it, hurry up or I’ll make a move!"
Huzi’s eyes flickered twice, then he ran towards the forest, shouting to Liu Zixuan, "Just come in and see, then you’ll know!"
"Damn you!" Liu Zixuan couldn’t help but curse loudly.
"Relax, we’re already here, just a little longer won’t matter," Luo Xi consoled.
Liu Zixuan helplessly shook his head. What time was it, yet Huzi and the others still wanted to fool around.
However, Sword Demon had a different expression, smiling meaningfully, "Your past enemies? In my memory, your enemies have all been killed. I’m curious to see who exactly wasn’t killed by you and has only been captured now."
Liu Zixuan shrugged, walking inside with a bitter smile, "I genuinely can’t figure it out."
