Xiao Baidao confirmed again and again that Feng Xi was safe and sound, and his mood soared to the sky!
His little disciple not only had no accidents, she even stirred up trouble!
This time, Xuantian Sect could at least get third place, tying their best record in history!
Truly double happiness came at once!
While chaos unfolded outside, inside Tianhen Secret Realm, Feng Xi and the others were happily enjoying themselves.
Lu Xiuhan normally strutted around arrogantly, and Liu Shaobai and the others had long found him unpleasant to look at.
Now that they had beaten him up and even divided up his belongings, it was simply delightful.
Feng Xi blinked her eyes, "Senior brothers and sisters, now is not the time to celebrate. There's still Shen Zhilan!
Only after eliminating her can we clean up the remaining disciples of Hunyuan Sect.
She's different from Lu Xiuhan, her vigilance is extremely high. The previous method definitely won't work, so we have to use a different approach.
How about this, let's use the beauty trap with a man.
Senior Brother Xing Wu, you'll have to sacrifice yourself!"
Xing Wu: "…"
Xing Wu sneered, "Didn't you say that she completely looks down on me? What use is it if I go?!"
Feng Xi smiled, "Looks like you really don't understand her at all.
Although she despises you in her heart, she still wants to use you. So on the surface, she's extremely courteous, sometimes even revealing a hint of affection.
If you don't believe me, you'll know once you try.
Senior Brother Xing Wu, I also wanted to send someone else, but among everyone here, you're the most handsome, so only you can complete this task."
Xing Wu clearly knew Feng Xi was flattering him, but he still felt a little pleased.
Especially when he saw Jun Wen's constipated expression.
"Fine, I'll try."
Seeing him agree, Feng Xi secretly sighed in relief.
In the novel, Xing Wu was also one of Shen Zhilan's licking dogs, helping her repeatedly, and in the end he died without an intact corpse.
Truly, Shen Zhilan was poisonous, none of her licking dogs had a good ending.
Feng Xi wasn't acting out of saintly righteousness, trying to save Xing Wu from danger, she just didn't want Shen Zhilan to have an extra helper.
Whether earlier alliances or dividing Lu Xiuhan's belongings, they were all means to split Liu Shaobai's group away from Hunyuan Sect.
As long as Liu Shaobai and the others continued opposing Hunyuan Sect, Shen Zhilan would find it very difficult to turn them into licking dogs or fan girls.
Once plans were settled, Feng Xi and the others set up an ambush circle like before.
Xing Wu went alone to meet Shen Zhilan.
Shen Zhilan was in a good mood now, because not long after Lu Xiuhan left, she actually picked up a demon beast egg.
Golden patterns swirled across its surface, indicating its extraordinary nature.
She was very pleased, she was indeed someone favored by heaven. She could randomly pick up such treasures.
But when she saw that Lu Xiuhan still hadn't returned, she became impatient.
It was just dealing with a piece of trash, why was it taking so long?
However, she wasn't planning to go check because she needed to avoid suspicion.
Even if things were exposed later, it would be Lu Xiuhan the fool acting alone; it would have nothing to do with her.
At this moment, she saw Xing Wu.
Her heart lifted. Earlier when Xing Wu spoke a bunch of strange things, it must've been because Feng Xi sowed discord. Now she could explain.
She showed a sweet smile and walked up, "Senior Brother Xing Wu, I was just thinking of talking to you.
Earlier, what did you mean by those words? Did someone say something to you?"
Seeing her like this, Xing Wu felt a wave of disgust.
Sure enough, Feng Xi was right, this woman looks down on him in her heart yet puts on a fawning face on the surface.
He suppressed his disgust and said, "Nothing. I was in a bad mood at the time and said some nonsense.
Where's Lu Xiuhan? Why haven't I seen him?"
Shen Zhilan's heart stirred. So Xing Wu had been jealous of Lu Xiuhan earlier, that explained everything.
She thought so, no man would refuse her.
So she said helplessly, "Senior Brother Xing Wu, I do admire Second Senior Brother, but only admire his cultivation.
So after you all left, I explained it to him, and he left in a fit of anger."
Xing Wu sneered inwardly, clearly Lu Xiuhan went to kill Feng Xi, but now you make it sound like he left in a huff?
Really, not a single true word comes out of your mouth!
I must've been blind to think you were good before!
He suppressed his anger and said, "As long as it's cleared up. Since we're both alone, why don't we travel together?"
Shen Zhilan immediately agreed.
After chatting a few sentences, Shen Zhilan said, "Senior Brother Xing Wu, I know it's a bit abrupt, but I want to remind you, Feng Xi is crafty and full of schemes. She lies constantly. It's best if you keep your distance from her."
Xing Wu casually responded while sneering in his heart. Feng Xi, though sharp-tongued, is at least warm-hearted. Compared to you, a woman whose mouth contains not a single truth, she's a hundred times better!
When they reached the ambush circle, Xing Wu couldn't endure any longer and directly summoned his spiritual beast…the One-Horned Gale Wolf.
"Shen Zhilan, didn't you look down on our Beast-Taming Sect? Today I'll let you see our methods!
One-Horn, attack!"
Spiritual beasts share a bond with their master, so the wolf had heard Feng Xi's earlier words and hated Shen Zhilan to the bone!
It bared its fangs and lunged towards Shen Zhilan.
Shen Zhilan was shocked!
She had no idea why Xing Wu suddenly turned on her, but she had no time to think. She formed hand seals, sending water arrows at both the wolf and Xing Wu.
She didn't actually fear Xing Wu. Though both were Foundation Establishment third layer, she's confident she could defeat him.
Some men were masochists. Once beaten, she could have him submit afterward!
While thinking that, several people leaped out from the surroundings, spiritual techniques and flying swords raining toward her.
Shen Zhilan was completely stunned!
"Stop! There must be a misunderstanding—listen to me—"
It's a pity, no one listened!
Everyone only wanted to eliminate her quickly, preferably also... divide the spoils afterward.
Feng Xi stood aside cheering enthusiastically, "Come on everyone, work harder—hup hey!
Poke her eyes—hup hey!
Stab her stomach—hup hey!"
Shen Zhilan was about to explode with rage!
"Feng Xi! It must be your doing! I am irreconcilable with you!"
Feng Xi clicked her tongue, "Why don't you keep pretending to be your holy white lotus? Go on, keep pretending!
You stole my medicinal herb, shattered my dantian, and pushed the blame onto me, causing me to be demoted to a menial servant.
Even so you weren't satisfied and encouraged Lu Xiuhan to kill me, how is your heart so black?
You think no one sees your true face?
Everyone's eyes are bright, they already know exactly what you are!
Shen Zhilan, when a person does too many wicked things, retribution comes. And yours is here!"
Shen Zhilan gritted her teeth, "Stop talking nonsense—listen to me—"
Her answer was an even fiercer assault.
Shen Zhilan was smarter than Lu Xiuhan. She knew she would be eliminated today anyway. Rather than be subdued, she might as well eliminate herself.
So she crushed her jade token on her own.
She hated Feng Xi to the bone.
She had thought Feng Xi was a useless piece of trash without any value, yet she had repeatedly caused her trouble.
She must be killed, not spared!
As for Xing Wu and the others, once they outlived their usefulness, none of them would escape. All of them must die!
But for now, the urgent matter was how to explain this to Baili Muchen.
