Under the escort of Feng Yuru and Mo Qingwu, Chu Yang finally returned to the Orchid Fragrance Garden.
His brothers and Wu Qianqian gathered around, all worried and extremely angry about Chu Yang's injuries!
Zixie Qing drove everyone out, including Mo Qingwu and Feng Yuru, leaving only herself and Chu Yang in the room.
“Stop pretending! My palm strike only knocked you down a bit, you’re fine!” Zixie Qing said with a curl of her lip.
Chu Yang chuckled. He had seemed on the verge of death, but suddenly sat up, looking vibrant.
“They didn’t recognize you, right?” Chu Yang asked.
“Of course not!” Zixie Qing snorted, glaring at him, “Do you think I’m as useless as you?”
Chu Yang awkwardly laughed, “Hehe, but your palm strike was pretty fierce. You knocked me down naked and flipped me over seven or eight times, exposing my poor self to the light of day… it was just too tragic… my innocence and reputation have been completely ruined by you…”
Zixie Qing rolled her eyes, speechless at his shamelessness!
“So, how’s the poison…” Zixie Qing looked at Chu Yang.
“Nothing to worry about,” Chu Yang shrugged, “The poison has been detoxified, but I have to maintain this state for the next few days.”
Zixie Qing nodded in understanding.
“They might be about to take action,” Zixie Qing said softly.
“I knew you’d notice,” Chu Yang felt relieved, “What do you think?”
“Only war!” Zixie Qing smiled faintly, “I deliberately let you expose my strength at the auction to wait for this day.”
A cold killing intent flashed in her beautiful eyes: “There are too many ignorant people in this world, it’s necessary to clean them up properly.”
Chu Yang sighed bitterly, “But we must also be cautious. They know your strength well. If they want to go to war under these circumstances, they must have some confidence or sufficient basis to deal with you!”
Zixie Qing dismissed it, “Confidence to deal with me? Just them?”
Chu Yang grew serious: “Don’t underestimate them!”
Zixie Qing huffed, noncommittal.
“Once they act, they will split into two routes. They cannot possibly surround us together,” Chu Yang said. “Because if we are all together, when we want to leave, you guys can take us out at any time. They cannot block us.”
“So, they have to set a specific environment to deal with you!” Chu Yang whispered, “What I’m most worried about is not their strength! Their strength is definitely inferior to yours, but this environment… worries me greatly.”
A hint of softness appeared in Zixie Qing’s eyes, which then vanished. She said, “If there is a specific environment, Chu Yang, you must know one thing.”
“What is it?” Chu Yang asked.
“A specific environment can certainly trap me temporarily. But they too will inevitably be trapped with me! As long as one person leaves, I can come out.” Zixie Qing said calmly, “Even in a specific environment, my cultivation level cannot be held down by just a few supremes! Moreover, there are Bu Liqing and Fengyue… So, at least two hundred supremes must be dispatched to have a chance; if they want to be certain… it would take at least a thousand supremes to potentially harm me and make me lose my life!”
Zixie Qing smiled proudly, glancing at Chu Yang: “Do you think there are that many supremes in the current Nine Heavens world? Not to mention just enforcers and the nine great clans?”
Chu Yang frowned, “Not necessarily none!”
Zixie Qing laughed disdainfully.
“If they want to act, they will surely split into two routes! The first route is to find a way to lure you out! Into a specific environment. Then, the second route may attack us!”
Chu Yang spoke seriously, “So if you decide to fight, then focus entirely on the battle! No matter what they say about us, do not believe it!”
Zixie Qing nodded slowly, “However, they won’t deal with you until they are sure they can take us down. This should be certain.”
“Otherwise,” Chu Yang said, “After today’s battle, the two sides will completely tear off the mask, and there will be no more hesitations. In the future, there will be no shortcuts, only bloody steps forward!”
