Chapter 1066: 1982 Erguotou
"So a hundred days later, I won’t go to the top of the universe!" Jiang Yifan said solemnly.
Liu Zixuan asked puzzled: "But that’s a matter of life and death for the Star Sea Martial Realm, and you’re not going as a member of the Star Sea?"
"It’s not that I’m unconcerned about the Martial Realm’s safety, but I’m worried about the Nether Hall’s sneaky moves. Think about it, if they know the Star Sea Martial Realm is full of experts, why would they openly challenge us and invite everyone to the top of the universe?"
Liu Zixuan pondered and replied: "There are only two possibilities: first, the Nether Hall wants to go for mutual destruction; second, they have other intentions, holding back a final card, and the battle at the top of the universe is just their gimmick!"
Jiang Yifan laughed: "Smart, but the second possibility might not just be a gimmick. They could have enough capability to implement their conspiracy while destroying the Star Sea Martial Realm!"
Liu Zixuan furrowed his brows: "If they want to destroy it completely, then picking us off one by one is the best method. Could it be that the Nether Hall doesn’t know the locations of the hidden sects? So they draw everyone to the top of the universe?"
"With the Nether Hall daring to challenge the entire World Martial Realm and openly issuing a challenge to the Star Sea Martial Realm, do you think they don’t know the locations of the hidden sects?"
Jiang Yifan smiled meaningfully: "There’s someone from the Nether Hall not far from here, right in the city."
"What!" Liu Zixuan was startled: "They’re right at your doorstep?"
"That’s why I said, since the Nether Hall wants to play big this time, I absolutely can’t leave here."
Jiang Yifan walked up to Liu Zixuan and patted his shoulder: "Hence, a hundred days later at the top of the universe, you might be the only protagonist!"
"I’m the only protagonist?" Liu Zixuan’s eyes widened: "Do you mean that the hidden sects won’t send out everyone, and ultimately it’s me facing the Nether Hall’s people?"
"Doesn’t it feel challenging?" Jiang Yifan teased with a smile.
"Challenge my ass!" Liu Zixuan exclaimed angrily: "On such a big chessboard, how can I play alone!"
"Well, that depends on you!" Jiang Yifan grinned: "But don’t worry, such a big event, the top of the universe won’t be the only battlefield, and we won’t be idle either."
"Suddenly I have this urge to say something mom-sold-ass, not sure if I should!"
"You’ve already said it!"
Liu Zixuan pinched his forehead: "What if they aren’t making any sneaky moves and everyone really goes to the top of the universe, then I’ll be the first to die there!"
"Then you can only blame your bad luck!" Jiang Yifan looked at Liu Zixuan earnestly: "Anyway, you’re supposed to die once after three months, dying again at the top of the universe, what’s the harm!"
"Damn!" Liu Zixuan was speechless, what kind of logic is this? Is this young master supposed to have nine lives like a cat!
"Alright, you don’t have to worry, this is just a series of guesses between us, there’s nearly three months till the cosmic battle, who knows, maybe one day the God wouldn’t be happy, sends a heavy rain and directly drowns all the Nether Hall’s people, then it’ll be easy!"
Looking at Jiang Yifan’s harmless smile, Liu Zixuan really wanted to give him a couple of slaps!
Heavy rain wipes out the Nether Hall’s people? Why don’t you just say the Hall Master of the Nether Hall farts and suffocates himself!
Though this is merely their guess, considering Jiang Yifan’s identity, it’s infinitely close to the truth.
Hence, regardless if it’s speculation or the final truth, Liu Zixuan can’t escape this Martial Realm War, nor can he rely on the hidden sects or the Jiang Family, he must face it himself.
Slightly disheartened, but not too much, after all, Liu Zixuan has always depended on himself along the way.
Only this time, the enemy is too strong!
In these three months, Liu Zixuan needs to do only two things.
First, survive.
Second, become stronger than before.
Both are extremely difficult things!
"It’s about time, let’s go out to eat." Jiang Yifan smiled.
Liu Zixuan followed closely: "Since you already know the Nether Hall’s people are nearby, why not send someone to eliminate them directly?"
"I can’t send anyone!" Jiang Yifan sighed with a smile: "I’m all alone now, no one listens to me, I can’t possibly go alone!"
"Can you speak properly?" Liu Zixuan snapped: "Wang Liang, Monkey, they’re all experts, plus your Nine Wolves and Blood Wolf Guard, sending some people should be enough to wipe out those guys!"
"I don’t like what you said; whether Nine Wolves or Blood Wolf Guard, they’re my treasures, what if some get hurt or die, I’d feel heartbroken." Jiang Yifan suddenly paused: "Oh, has Jiang Yunxuan come back yet? After lunch, let him take care of it!"
Liu Zixuan’s forehead instantly appeared with several black lines.
"By the way, is Jiang Yunxuan your biological son?"
"Nonsense, if he’s not my biological son, then I’d be wearing a green hat!" Jiang Yifan cursed.
"So if your Nine Wolves and Blood Wolf Guard get hurt or die, you’d feel heartbroken, but you won’t if Jiang Yunxuan, who’s less capable, goes?" Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow.
Jiang Yifan stroked his chin, looking extremely serious: "What you said makes sense; in that case, you should go with him in the afternoon."
"Mom-sold-ass!" Liu Zixuan grabbed Jiang Yifan’s arm: "You damn well playing with me!"
"No, not at all." Jiang Yifan had an innocent look: "One is my son, the other my future son-in-law, so if you help me deal with the flies at the gate, what’s wrong with that?"
Liu Zixuan’s gaze shifted: "Alright, we’ll go this afternoon and take care of the flies at your gate properly!"
"That’s the spirit!"
As they spoke, the two had reached the front hall. Jiang Yifan put an arm around Liu Zixuan’s shoulder, calling out to Aunt Bing: "Little Bing Bing, bring out my prized bottle of 1982 vintage wine, I want to treat Zixuan well!"
"When did you ever have vintage wine from 1982?" Aunt Bing asked, furrowing her brows.
Jiang Yifan: "Uh, it’s that bottle of Erguotou."
"Hey, do you have to be so cheap." Liu Zixuan said irritably.
"Don’t listen to him; the wine’s been prepared long ago!" Aunt Ran approached with a smile, pinching Jiang Yifan: "In front of the kids, stop being so unrefined!"
"Lin Yanran, how am I being unrefined!" Jiang Yifan puffed his chest: "I’ve been a good person for over twenty years now!"
"Why do these words sound so familiar!" Jiang Yiyi glanced at Liu Zixuan, then laughed as she walked toward the dining area...
