Xiao Chenlei laughed heartily in the heavy heavens, disregarding life and death.
Ji Mo's face instantly turned the color of a pig's liver, feeling utterly ashamed.
Damn it, being called out in front of so many brothers and having this truth revealed; Third Master Ji felt utterly humiliated. He roared in anger, "Xiao Chenlei, you old bastard, who told you to say that? Third Master will fight you... You old fogey, today we will both go down to the Yellow Springs together! I won't let you off, whether in the underworld or in this world; we are destined to be enemies for life! Ah, I’m so embarrassed now..."
The few people below felt as if they had been struck by lightning.
Chu Yang and Mo Tianji also looked strangely at each other.
They truly didn’t know whether to cry or laugh; damn, this is so complicated! Ji Mo's ability to create such a situation that left people at a loss for words is indeed extraordinary.
Unbelievably, at the brink of life and death, he was still able to make people laugh and cry.
Xiao Chenlei laughed heartily and said, "I never expected that I, who have been invincible all my life, would die today from an ambush, and yet could die so joyfully! Sword Master Lord, it must be difficult to gather the Nine Calamity Brothers, right? I believe Third Master Ji here is extremely important to you, isn’t he?"
His gaze, like a blade, turned and locked onto Chu Yang.
From the positions of the brothers and their respective attitudes, Xiao Chenlei immediately discerned that Chu Yang was the true leading candidate!
And the leading candidate among the Nine Calamity, who could it be if not the sword master?
Chu Yang raised his head and said, "Indeed, my brother is extremely important to me! He is irreplaceable!"
Xiao Chenlei chuckled hoarsely, "Today, I am undoubtedly destined to die. However, as long as I move my hand, this Nine Calamity individual cannot live... So, I want to propose a deal to you, Sword Master Lord, what do you think??"
Chu Yang steadied himself and asked, "What deal?"
Xiao Chenlei took a deep breath, a look of nostalgia appearing on his face: "Back then, my older brother and I laid the foundation of the Xiao Clan; one protected the home while the other expanded the territory. Thus, we established the millennia-long foundation of the Xiao family!"
"Looking back now, it feels like a dream."
"If I kill this person today, I can destroy the Nine Calamity; but, if Sword Master Lord is willing to agree to one condition, I can spare him!" Xiao Chenlei said: "Though I was ambushed, I die with a smile; this life has been enough."
"What condition?" Chu Yang asked.
Xiao Chenlei replied casually, "It's not a difficult condition… I only request that when Sword Master Lord unifies the Nine Heavens after today, you do not harm our Xiao family!"
Ji Mo shouted, "Shut up! My brothers have never been threatened by enemies! Third Master Ji isn't worth that much… do you think you can hold us hostage…"
Xiao Chenlei moved slightly, and Ji Mo immediately found himself unable to speak.
Chu Yang promptly said, "I agree…"
Just then, a soft voice said, "You can easily destroy the person in your hands? Can you really do that?"
With this voice, a figure in moonlight white suddenly rose into the air. The speed was not fast, but it ascended to stand opposite Xiao Chenlei in the sky.
Xiao Chenlei's expression changed drastically as he grimly said, "So it's the Moon Sovereign..."
The newcomer was indeed Yue Lingxue.
It had been a long time since Yue Lingxue intervened. She thought this time she could stretch her muscles. Little did she know, after preparing everything, she found herself not needed.
Even the ninth rank supreme was left to die under the schemes of these youngsters.
If it weren't for Xiao Chenlei having this last card, she might as well have come to tour.
Upon seeing Yue Lingxue appear, Xiao Chenlei gave a bitter smile. He said grimly, "Since the Moon Sovereign is here, then what condition can I still propose?"
Others might not know, but Chu Yang and the others were also unclear; however, Xiao Chenlei understood clearly in his heart.
