Chapter 1004: Ways of the World
Inside the Dragon-Suppressing Hall.
Ye Lianyi looked at Liu Zixuan, who was sitting cross-legged: "How are you feeling?"
Liu Zixuan opened his eyes and smiled slightly: "I’m fine, it’s just that manipulating the Relic Pearl to kill people just now was a bit uncomfortable."
"Did you already know that what just happened would occur? Why didn’t you tell Zhao Yi and me beforehand?" Ye Lianyi glared at him with disapproval: "You made us worry for nothing!"
"I just wanted to give you a surprise."
Liu Zixuan leaned closer, hugging Ye Lianyi’s waist, and smiled: "Did you notice how handsome I was just now when I controlled the small world’s spiritual power to defeat the Gu Family ancestor?"
"You! Didn’t see any handsomeness in defeating others, but you’re pretty good at showing off when making us worry!" Ye Lianyi poked Liu Zixuan’s forehead: "Don’t do this again, okay?"
"Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you." Liu Zixuan held Ye Lianyi’s hand and stood up: "Okay, go to the second compartment in the side hall and take out some elixirs. We can’t stay inside for long, or else if the Willow Association sends people to destroy the Relic Pearl, we’ll be heading to Western Heaven!"
"How do you know which compartment in the side hall has elixirs? Have you been here before?" Ye Lianyi asked curiously.
Liu Zixuan rotated the pearl in his hand twice: "After recognizing the master, I can clearly sense every single plant and tree here."
Ye Lianyi paused: "So you deliberately let the Shi Family ancestors go to other rooms and only brought me over?"
"I originally intended to bring you and Zhao Yi, but if all three of us came, the Shi Family ancestors would definitely be suspicious. Although we have a cooperative relationship and should be honest, we also need to understand the principle of not flaunting our wealth."
Liu Zixuan pointed at the Dragon-Suppressing Hall and said: "Here is truly the key place for the treasures of the Relic Pearl. There are also some elixirs and cultivation techniques in the courtyard outside, but they are ordinary, and part of them has already been taken by the Celestial Dao Alliance."
"If I hadn’t asked, would you have even kept it from me?" Ye Lianyi pretended to be angry.
Liu Zixuan brushed her nose tip: "I’m already yours entirely; what else could I possibly hide? Wait for me to learn more about this Dragon-Suppressing Hall, and I’ll share more useful information with you!"
"Remember to definitely tell me!"
Ye Lianyi finally smiled and walked towards the left side hall, soon returning with a wooden box.
"Just taking this little bit?" Liu Zixuan was surprised.
"Of course not, the rest is in my pocket. After all, the Shi Family ancestor and Shi Ke came along with us, we must give them something."
"You’re really good at living!" Liu Zixuan activated his X-ray Vision to glance at the box; there were approximately seven or eight pills inside, all top-class for cultivation technique enhancement and healing, not something that couldn’t be shared, so he didn’t say more.
Once they all left the Dragon-Suppressing Hall, Zhao Yi, Shi Family ancestor, and Shi Ke gradually emerged.
Zhao Yi ran over excitedly and smiled: "Brother Xuan, this place has really a lot of treasures! Look, I found many elixirs."
"I’ve found quite a few too, but it’s not advisable to linger here. I only took some I would temporarily use." Shi Ke also chimed in.
Liu Zixuan nodded smilingly and looked at the Shi Family ancestor: "Senior, I worry that the Celestial Dao Alliance will send people to destroy the Relic Pearl, so we should leave as soon as possible. Anyway, the pearl has recognized me as master; when it’s safe, I will surely give a share of the treasures inside to the Shi Family!"
The Shi Family ancestor waved his hand: "The things inside are all yours; giving us some is already showing great respect to our Shi Family."
"If you don’t mind, that settles it!" Liu Zixuan smiled.
What is the wisdom of human interactions?
Liu Zixuan’s actions were exactly that.
It’s true that the Shi Family is cooperating with him, but they aren’t his people, so many things can’t be openly displayed.
Just like the Shi Family, up until now, it’s said to be cooperation, but only the Shi Family ancestor and Shi Ke showed themselves. Liu Zixuan had no idea how many trump cards and how much strength they possess.
If the Shi Family harbored ill intentions towards Liu Zixuan, telling them everything now would provide them with leverage to attack Liu Zixuan later!
After chatting a few more sentences, Liu Zixuan directly took out the pearl, and with a thought, the five of them left the small world.
Returning to the innermost part of the mountain, their first sight was the five Emperor Realm ancestors watching them like tigers.
Liu Zixuan put away the Relic Pearl and provocatively smiled: "Help me tell the Willow Association ancestor that the pearl is returned to its rightful owner now."
"Returned to its rightful owner? Don’t you find saying this distasteful? You clearly robbed us!" Zhong Family ancestor cursed coldly.
Liu Zixuan mocked with a laugh: "Then you can ask the Willow Association ancestor where this pearl came from."
"No matter where this pearl came from, it belongs to the Celestial Dao Alliance. Now I’m giving you a choice: hand over the Relic Pearl and remove the owner recognition, or else... hmph!"
At the end of the sentence, the Zhong Family ancestor sneered disdainfully.
"Or else what? You think five injured Emperor Realm people can keep us here, or are you boasting about killing us?" Liu Zixuan folded his hands and smiled.
The Zhong Family ancestor stepped forward: "Even if we’re injured, we can definitely severely injure you. Additionally, we’ve already notified the Celestial Dao Alliance headquarters; the Willow Association ancestor will surely send people to assist us!"
"Little friend Zixuan, they’re stalling for time." Shi Family ancestor stepped forward and whispered.
Liu Zixuan nodded: "I’ll hold them up for a while, you all retreat quickly."
"No, I want to stay with you." Ye Lianyi said.
Zhao Yi also chimed in: "We’ll leave or stay together, and eventually we’ll have to confront the Celestial Dao Alliance headquarters, might as well be today!"
"Don’t meddle foolishly, yes, we’ll definitely confront them, but not today. We don’t have enough people!" Liu Zixuan said solemnly.
"But you alone..." Shi Family ancestor also frowned.
"If they hadn’t been injured, it would indeed be challenging, but now I can delay them for a while. As long as you leave, I’ll have a way to get out."
Seeing Liu Zixuan and others whispering, Zhong Family ancestor’s smile grew more intense: "What? Are you discussing how to run away?"
"None of your damn business!"
Liu Zixuan immediately cursed back.
"Everyone, the Relic Pearl was stolen by him, and the Gu Family ancestor was killed by him. We’ve lost many elite disciples of the Celestial Dao Alliance. We definitely must leave no stone unturned to keep his life here, or else we wouldn’t be able to report back to headquarters!"
Zhong Family ancestor shouted: "Let’s act together, ignore the others, but Liu Zixuan must be killed!"
