Chapter 1030: Luo Xi Appears
"Watch out!"
Originally, when they saw Venerable Wen being stabbed by Liu Zixuan, everyone quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but they were jolted back to reality by a sharp scream from Ya Fei.
They saw Venerable Wen, who had been stabbed in the heart by the Nameless Sword and collapsed, suddenly rise, a wicked smile appearing on his grim face.
"Heh, heh, heh!"
A chilling laugh emanated from his blood-stained mouth, making him seem incredibly eerie.
Liu Zixuan, pale and weak, witnessed this scene: "Damn, this guy isn’t dead yet?"
"You killed my son, do you plead guilty?"
This extremely bizarre Venerable Wen stared at Liu Zixuan, speaking one word at a time like an emperor judging a criminal.
"Who... who are you?" Liu Zixuan’s voice stuttered slightly.
Over the years, he had encountered many bizarre things, but a dead person speaking was a first for him, inevitably making his scalp tingle.
More importantly, Venerable Wen’s voice wasn’t as old as before; instead, it was childlike and tender.
Imagine an approximately sixty-year-old man, once dead, standing up to speak with a child’s voice—it’s no wonder one’s spine would chill!
"You insignificant ant, do you think you’re worthy of knowing my name?" The bizarre Venerable Wen took a step forward, the hole in his heart rapidly healing.
"He is King Wen of the Netherworld Hall!" Ya Fei shrieked in horror.
King Wen...
Liu Zixuan murmured to himself, quickly understanding. Though he didn’t know exactly what was going on, he realized this so-called King Wen must be even more terrifying than Venerable Wen!
With this thought, Liu Zixuan wanted to get up and leave immediately.
But, as the bizarre Venerable Wen leisurely waved his hand, Liu Zixuan found himself fixed in place, unable to move an inch!
"Despite just breaking through to the Innate Emperor Realm Second Heaven and defeating my son, who was near the Innate Emperor Realm Third Heaven, you are indeed a genius. This body of yours is quite satisfactory to me. Now, destroy your soul and let your body serve my son, and I won’t engage in further slaughter!"
The bizarre Venerable Wen cruelly laughed, pinching his fingers.
"Screw you!" Liu Zixuan cursed outright.
What bullshit Netherworld Hall, what bullshit King Wen, coming here and acting like an emperor just to scare people!
"Hmph! Ignorant ant!"
The bizarre Venerable Wen suddenly raised his withered hand, reaching directly towards Liu Zixuan’s head.
"Don’t you dare hurt him!"
At this moment, a beautiful figure flashed, and a colorful mist appeared, blocking the bizarre Venerable Wen in front of Liu Zixuan.
Liu Zixuan looked up and saw a familiar figure appear in front of him.
His heart couldn’t help but ache as he spoke: "Luo... Luo Xi!"
Yes, the one who suddenly appeared to save him was the troublesome girl from Celestial Capital long ago, the one who vanished without a trace after leaving a letter—Luo Xi!
The moment she appeared, Liu Zixuan suddenly understood a lot of things.
For instance, the person who secretly helped him during Ripple’s summoning had mentioned an old man and a girl. He had always focused on who the old man was, completely overlooking the little girl he once loved deeply.
Also, the slap mark on Ya Fei’s face when leaving Flame Mountain in the Southwest had made Liu Zixuan wonder who dared to slap her. Thinking back, he realized it must be the person who secretly helped him before.
But, caught up in the conflict with the Celestial Dao Alliance, he forgot about this most familiar woman!
Seeing Liu Zixuan’s reddened eyes, Luo Xi smiled lightly: "I told you, next time we meet, I won’t just be that clueless Luo Xi by your side; I’ll be someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with you!"
"I’m... I’m sorry!" Liu Zixuan murmured, full of heartache.
Luo Xi shook her head: "No, you never owed me anything. Instead, I... made you worry!"
"I..."
"Have you flirted enough?"
The bizarre Venerable Wen’s expression was extremely unpleasant. He originally intended to eliminate Liu Zixuan’s soul, letting his son resurrect using Liu’s body, but unexpectedly, this girl appeared halfway.
How could he not be enraged!
"It’s none of your business if we flirt!"
The bizarre Venerable Wen’s words fell, and another elderly voice emerged, accompanied by an old man’s figure beside Luo Xi.
Liu Zixuan was not unfamiliar with it; judging by his back, he was the one who secretly helped him before.
"Who are you? Why do you have the aura of the Xuanyuan Race?" the bizarre Venerable Wen asked, frowning.
"If your original form was here, you might be qualified to know my identity. But with this rotten skin, you dare speak to me like this?" the old man retorted, displeased.
The bizarre Venerable Wen had a strange aura, immobilizing Liu Zixuan, Ya Fei, and the others as if they were bound by some invisible force.
However, the old man showed no fear and even dared to retort on the spot, proving he was no ordinary person!
However, in the next second, this impressive image of the old man was utterly destroyed!
Luo Xi suddenly kicked the old man’s waist: "Hurry up and release my Brother Xuan’s bindings!"
"You..."
The old man turned, looking extremely aggrieved, muttering: "Finally met a decent opponent, at least let me show off a bit. You little girl..."
"Don’t want to drink anymore?" Luo Xi threatened, taking out a wine jug.
"I... Grandma, I was wrong!"
The old man admitted defeat immediately, raising his hand, and that sense of constraint on Liu Zixuan vanished completely.
Struggling to stand, he bowed and said, "Thank you, senior!"
"Hmph, don’t thank me. I had no intention of helping you!"
"Be polite to my Brother Xuan!" Luo Xi, at this moment, was still that little troublemaker from Celestial Capital, with hands on her waist, angrily barking.
The old man chuckled awkwardly, remaining silent while watching Venerable Wen warily.
Liu Zixuan gave an awkward laugh, turning to Luo Xi. There was a lot he wanted to ask, but due to the situation, he refrained. Instead, he asked, "Who is this senior..."
"Him? Just an old beggar I picked up on the street, no need to pay him any mind." Luo Xi took Liu Zixuan by the arm, worriedly asking, "Are you alright?"
"Enough of this!"
The bizarre Venerable Wen couldn’t take it anymore. Their flirting and small talk completely disregarded him, the leader of the Netherworld Hall!
Shouting angrily, he pointed at the old man: "Whether or not you’re of the Xuanyuan Race, I warn you, if you delay the major matters of the Netherworld Hall, you must die!"
"I said, if your true form were here, you might make me frown a bit. But here, on the Star Sea Land, what’s the point of boasting with this rotten skin of yours?" the old man scolded.
