Upon hearing Sword Demon's words, Luo Xi laughed, "I'll find an old lady for you someday."
"I don't want any old lady, I want a young girl, beautiful, with a good figure, and I want to have a few sons." Sword Demon grumbled discontentedly.
Luo Xi abruptly furrowed her brows, placing both hands on her waist, "Who are you calling old man?"
"Aunt, I was wrong!" Sword Demon immediately shriveled up.
The saying 'one thing overcomes another' probably refers to Sword Demon and Luo Xi.
"They seem to be wrapping things up." Zhao Yi spoke up at this point.
Just now, everyone was focused on watching Luo Xi and Sword Demon's banter, thus forgetting to watch the battle. As everyone looked over now, it was indeed almost done.
Currently, the battle between the parties had entered its final stage, and a higher realm martial artist was negotiating with Naske. It seemed like they were ready to stop.
After all, they weren't foolish. The treasure battle was the main focus, and fighting with all their cards now would only lead to losses later.
"What's the next step?" Zhao Yi asked as he watched the Angel Sect's martial artists gradually leaving.
"Sword Demon elder already mentioned it," Liu Zixuan shrugged.
"Just charge in and take out the Divine Court Sect people?" Zhao Yi asked again.
Liu Zixuan touched his chin, "I've suddenly changed my mind."
"What's that? Switching to target the Angel Sect?" Sword Demon asked.
Liu Zixuan shook his head, "Think about it, what are those Angel Sect guys coming out for?"
"To demand an explanation from the Divine Court Sect!" Sword Demon frowned, "Don't tell me you're thinking about wiping out the Angel Sect? Let me tell you, those pretty girls are mine."
"I'll save the pretty girls for you, but we can take out the ones they've sent out."
Liu Zixuan paused and smiled meaningfully, "They come to ask the Divine Court Sect for an explanation, but suddenly die halfway, the high ranks of the Angel Sect will definitely think it was the Divine Court Sect taking advantage of them."
"That's hard to say, maybe they're smart enough to know it's someone trying to provoke them?" Sword Demon spread his hands.
"Whether they think the Divine Court Sect did it or someone else provoked them, it's beneficial for us. If the Angel Sect's high ranks think it was the Divine Court Sect, their conflict will deepen. If they believe it's provocation, they'll be wary of all major forces, resulting in widened gaps amongst foreign martial artists."
Liu Zixuan changed his tone, "I think this would be more interesting than destroying a sect. Don't you think watching them fight each other is more enjoyable?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment before raising their middle fingers at Liu Zixuan in unison.
"Brother Xu, I've always thought you faced enemies head-on, when did you become so devious?" Zhao Yi muttered.
"Oh, come on, it's a strategy!"
"Zixuan, I won't let Qiqi follow you in the future; she'll end up learning bad things!" Luo Xi scolded.
Liu Zixuan helplessly spread his hands, "Qiqi, I'm your brother!"
Qiqi flashed a cute smile, "But Luo Xi is my sister-in-law."
Liu Zixuan rubbed his forehead and looked at Sword Demon, "I assume you would support me?"
"I wholeheartedly support it, this method is both flavorful and exhilarating!" Sword Demon didn't hesitate, directly stating.
"Agreed, let's do it this way!"
"You two are the minority; we are three people. Why should we follow your plan?" Luo Xi asked.
"Because we have the highest realms!" Liu Zixuan grinned cheekily, "You mad? Come hit me!"
"…" Luo Xi instantly had several black lines forming across her forehead.
But, in her heart, she felt somewhat delighted. To outsiders, Liu Zixuan's tactics seemed a bit underhanded, sowing discord and secretly plotting; yet, when facing enemies, as long as a strategy works, it's the right thing to do. There's no such concept as it being dark or not.
Moreover, Liu Zixuan, who had always been so domineering, suddenly showing a childish side was quite appealing in its own way!
"Old Zhao, take Luo Xi and Qiqi and head back to the hotel first, Sword Demon elder and I will come find you after dealing with things." Liu Zixuan stood up and said.
"Why not let sister-in-law and Qiqi go back first?" Zhao Yi rubbed his hands, also wanting to join.
"Don't worry; there'll be opportunities for you to take action in the coming days. To ensure everything is handled thoroughly today, it's best for me and Sword Demon elder to handle this first!" Liu Zixuan patted Zhao Yi's shoulder in reassurance.
Zhao Yi pursed his lips, "Alright."
With that said, he then led Luo Xi and Qiqi away from there.
Sword Demon looked in the direction of the departing Angel Sect members and asked, "Where do we strike?"
"It's three o'clock now, the midday heat has passed, and the streets have become busier. The main road is definitely unsuitable, but it can't be too secluded either, or there'd be no messengers." Liu Zixuan pondered for a while, "I remember there's a small path from the Tinghe farmyard a ways from here, right?"
"But how do you know they'll take the small path instead of the main road?" Sword Demon asked.
Liu Zixuan's lips slightly curved, "Having just finished a fight, they'll surely be tired and battered. Would you proudly walk home on the main road?"
"What if?"
"If it truly comes to that, then let them die at the entrance of the Tinghe farmyard!"
After saying that, Liu Zixuan leaped forward, following the group of Angel Sect martial artists up ahead.
Soon, Sword Demon caught up from behind and handed him a stick of candied haws, "Here you go."
"Childish?" Liu Zixuan said, sounding annoyed.
"There's not much to eat nearby, just this. Anyway, we're not handling something major; let's eat as we do it." Sword Demon laughed.
Liu Zixuan didn't hesitate and accepted the candied haws, starting to eat, and surprisingly, they were quite tasty.
After finishing the stick of candied haws, just as Liu Zixuan anticipated, those Angel Sect martial artists indeed walked into that small path.
It's called a small path but is actually an offshoot of the main road, where one can glimpse the situation from several intersections.
This kind of semi-hidden state happens to be the perfect time to strike.
"I'll go ahead, you cover?" Upon reaching the small path, Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow.
"You can't hog all the limelight; today I'll block them in front, you clean up from behind!" Sword Demon glared at Liu Zixuan, playing with the wooden skewer from the candied haws before swiftly flashing in front of everyone.
"Who are you, daring to block our path! Do you know who we are?" Naske shouted angrily.
Sword Demon chuckled coldly, "Just some small fry from the Divine Court Sect. When has old man ever cared about you lot?"
"You know us?" Naske frowned, swiftly turned around, and saw Liu Zixuan leaning against the roadside wall, mockingly watching them.
"Since you know us, hurry up and move aside, don't make trouble for yourself!" Naske deliberately threatened, because he felt an eerie terrifying aura from both Sword Demon and Liu Zixuan...
