The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief

Listening to the Sword Demon, Liu Zixuan and the others fell into deep thought.

Indeed, nothing can withstand scrutiny. Before, the Yudou Treasure was a secret, but now it’s known to everyone. Although four keys are needed to open it now, over time, people will think about it constantly and surely figure out a way to open the treasure without the keys.

At present, Liu Zixuan and his team are doing everything they can to guard the treasure, but they can only protect it for a while and can’t be there guarding it every day.

So, simply guarding it doesn’t solve the fundamental problem.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Zixuan slowly raised his head, "So, senior Sword Demon, what do you think we should do?"

"Before answering your question, I want to ask you, where did the treasure come from, and where should it go?" The Sword Demon asked intriguingly.

Liu Zixuan squinted his eyes. If a person asks where they came from and where they should go, he might have an answer, as it’s a very ancient question.

But treasures, being inanimate, how can they speak of where they come from or go?

However, he also understood that since the Sword Demon asked this way, he wouldn’t speak carelessly.

After a moment of thought, he said, "I remember hearing from the Jiang Family elder that the Yudou Treasure is part of the Ancient Ruins, and those treasures were probably left by powerful beings from ancient times."

"Right, so when they become dust, where should they eventually go?" the Sword Demon asked with an amused smile.

"Where should they go?" Liu Zixuan froze for a moment, then his eyes lit up, "There are only two options: one is to remain buried under the dust, and the other is to be taken by someone and used to fully unleash their brilliance."

Hearing this, the Sword Demon spread his hands and laughed, "You all understand the principle. If they remain buried under the dust, they become a heap of useless junk, obstructing one’s view."

"But if they are used, it’s entirely different. First, the treasures can serve their maximum purpose. Secondly, it doesn’t make the ancients’ efforts in vain, which in a sense, fulfills their wishes."

"So, you’re suggesting that the Yudou Treasure should be taken out?" Zhao Yi, beside them, asked.

The Sword Demon nodded, "If not, what do you plan to do? Let foreign Martial Artists take them away later?"

"But we only have two keys. To open it, we also need the other two keys from abroad. By then, I’m afraid the conflict will escalate!" Huzi frowned.

Liu Zixuan snapped his fingers, "If we don’t open it, the conflict won’t escalate, but we’ll have to stay vigilant and cautious, making life exhausting. But if we open it, the conflict escalates, sure, but if we survive, use the treasures inside, we can break through to a higher realm with more resources to defend this land."

"Whether the conflict escalates or not makes little difference. The treasure is there—whether you fight for it or not, there will be conflict. Do you think if it doesn’t escalate, there will be no casualties? That you won’t face the strongest opponents?"

Huzi and Zhao Yi exchanged looks and nodded. After Liu Zixuan’s explanation, they understood.

"Let’s discuss this among us for now and not announce anything externally, save for when the timing is right to avoid unnecessary trouble," the Sword Demon waved his hand, "So, what should be our next step?"

"How is the Mo Family doing?" Liu Zixuan asked.

Zhao Yi laughed, "It’s as solid as a rock unless they unite to attack jointly. It’s tough to get past the Mo Family. With Tongtong’s Array setup and the Great Immortal Gu’s maneuvers, it’s perfect."

"Have you been in contact with Lingxiu Village recently?" Liu Zixuan asked.

"Yes, we have. Sister-in-law and the others are doing well. Since it’s a special time, they’ve all returned to the manor. There’s the protection of the Array, plus Sixth Master and Crazy Zhou, so there shouldn’t be any issues."

"What about the Shadow Guard?" Liu Zixuan asked.

"They’re in Lingxiu Village, waiting for your orders!" Zhao Yi laughed.

"Alright, notify the Shadow Guard to head swiftly to the Yudou Mountain Range. Since we’re going to play, let’s play big. It’s been a while since I’ve practiced Arrays, and my hands are itching!" Liu Zixuan smiled mysteriously.

The Sword Demon raised an eyebrow, "An Array is just an Array; what can the Shadow Guard help you with?"

"Have you forgotten that besides Arrays, I’m also a Battle Array Master?" Liu Zixuan smiled knowingly.

The Sword Demon’s pupils shrank, "Hahaha, people usually have too many flaws and tend to overlook one or two, but you have too many skills; you’re truly indefensible. I, too, want to see which is stronger: Battle Arrays or ordinary Arrays!"

"Great! I think, in the Yudou Battle, we will witness many strange things. After all, to acquire such treasures, every Martial Artist will bring out their best skills, their life-saving trump cards!"

"Indeed." Luo Xi glanced at Liu Zixuan with displeasure, "So you still haven’t told us where we are headed now?"

"Find a place to take a bath, have a nice little drink, and rest. Tomorrow we’ll head directly to the vicinity of Yudu." Liu Zixuan spread his hands.

"Going so early?"

"Early? I dare bet, within three days, conflict will erupt. Besides, going early means we can rest while slightly boosting our cultivation."

Seeing Liu Zixuan’s shameless expression, Luo Xi retorted angrily, "You’re letting the Hidden Sects block the foreign Martial Artists, they’re busy working hard, while you’re carefree on the sidelines."

"Have you ever seen an emperor personally engage in miscellaneous chores?" Liu Zixuan teased with a smile.

Luo Xi paused, although Liu Zixuan was playful when speaking, the determination in his eyes and his unique aura was undeniably that of a leader.

At that moment, Luo Xi became a bit enchanted. Back in Celestial Capital, wasn’t it Liu Zixuan’s imposing charisma that attracted her?

With a slight smile, she said, "Then I shall accompany you to rule the world!"

"You, at most, are just a girl who warms the house!" Liu Zixuan grinned mischievously and ran outside.

"You old rascal, hit him for me!" Luo Xi stomped her foot in fury and commanded the Sword Demon.

The Sword Demon pinched his forehead, "I am a dignified Life and Death Realm person; do I have to be spoken to in such a way before everyone?"

"What? Do you have any objections?" Luo Xi asked meaningfully while taking out a wine gourd from behind.

The Sword Demon suddenly froze, a trace of helplessness flashed on his face, then he shouted at Liu Zixuan, "Liu Zixuan, you stop right there, I’m going to beat you to death!"

"Hahahaha!" Seeing this ludicrous scene, Zhao Yi and others laughed heartily.

ps: Encountered some issues today, this is all for now. There will be at least four updates tomorrow.
