Don't be fooled by the immense power of the Nine Calamity Sword or the healing of the ninefold pill; they cannot be compared to the regret medicine...
However, after weighing both sides, Xiao Chenyu still felt that he was benefiting from this. As long as he could avoid becoming enemies with those three old undead, a small price to pay was still worth it, and in fact, it was so.
After all, no one could guarantee that those two girls wouldn't suffer any injuries at all...
Chu Yang said seriously, "Senior must remember the sudden black mist from a few days ago."
Xiao Chenyu replied, "What if I remember?"
Chu Yang took a breath and said, "It's nothing much, only that the black mist which darkened the entire sky is certainly a unique mark of otherworldly demons descending... In other words, the Nine Heavens Continent will face a great calamity, an unavoidable apocalyptic calamity. I believe that even if we unite all our powers, we may not be able to avert the danger, that's all."
What kind of talk is this? An apocalyptic calamity, and it's just "that's all"? Truly calm as hell...
Upon hearing this, the experts from the major clans felt a bit conflicted.
Xiao Chenyu furrowed his brows and pondered, "Apocalyptic calamity? Otherworldly demons... descending?"
As the ninth rank pinnacle supreme and the first patriarch of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Chenyu naturally knew that the so-called otherworldly demons were not just legends. Although he had never truly seen them, they indeed existed.
Chu Yang said, "Exactly. This is the calamity of the entire Nine Heavens. At this critical moment, if we are still fighting each other for our own selfish interests, I'm afraid... our ultimate fate will be annihilation. That's why I'm willing to take risks... to show up early!"
Chu Yang said gravely, "I believe Senior Xiao should be able to feel my sincerity."
"Indeed, your sincerity is evident. I, Xiao, have sensed the Nine Calamity Sword Master's sincerity," Xiao Chenyu, having lived for countless years, was certainly not someone who didn't know the power of such matters; since Chu Yang had already made a stance and clearly expressed his sincerity, Xiao Chenyu had no reason to doubt the authenticity of this matter any longer.
Xiao Chenyu looked up at the sky, silent for a moment before saying lightly, "I don't doubt Lord Sword Master's words; I understand the potential harm of the otherworldly demons..."
Chu Yang nodded.
Xiao Chenyu took a deep breath, suddenly his gaze turned cold and painful as he said, "But I cannot ally with you!"
Chu Yang was surprised, "Why?"
The elderly man before him was certainly not someone who acted impulsively; with his experience, wisdom, and insight into worldly affairs, he should have realized that this was a perfect opportunity to secure the future of the Xiao Clan. How could he refuse so decisively...
Xiao Chenyu let out a complex, emotional long howl towards the sky as he said harshly, "Because of my brother! Because you are the Nine Calamity Sword Master! Because of your fate! Because we are natural enemies! We cannot coexist as natural enemies."
Xiao Chenyu's voice grew heavy, "I do not doubt your intentions, not at all; I admire your choice, and I absolutely believe that your actions, Chu Yang, are for the sake of all beings, with no selfish motives! You are truly worthy of being the current Nine Calamity Sword Master! But..."
"I know all this, I understand! If others and other noble families ultimately choose to cooperate with you, I will not oppose or stop them; but I, Xiao Chenyu, must seek a life-and-death separation with you!"
Xiao Chenyu howled to the heavens, half-laughing and half-crying, "I must avenge my brother! I must protect my family from being destroyed by the Nine Calamity; as for the lives of all beings, whether they live or die, what does it have to do with me?!"
Behind Xiao Chenyu, several supremes fell into deep thought; but the majority of people immediately stirred up a commotion.
"Old Xiao is right, this Nine Calamity Sword Master can't be in his right mind, right? How could he use such words to deceive us."
