Chapter 731: Ambush? Huang Fu Xiu

"Did you hear all those words we said?"

Zhuge Ruolan dared not look at Chen Chuyang while speaking; her eyes kept flickering, and she was extremely flustered inside.

Those words weren't meant for Chen Chuyang to hear; they were a conversation among women.

If Chen Chuyang knew and heard them, heavens, Zhuge Ruolan couldn't imagine, yet this person still pretended to know nothing—how… shameful.

She truly didn't dare meet Chen Chuyang's eyes; she could feel the teasing smile in those eyes. Chen Chuyang smiled softly and lowered her head, loving to see this woman's shy state—it was just too funny and too easy to fool.

Heishanyang wanted to know those matters, and they could still be known; Shang Hongxue stealthily approached Zhuge Ruolan to discuss this, and Chen Chuyang was also aware.

Heishanyang also didn't want to speak, but this Zhuge Ruolan was too clever, only able to…

"Actually, I'm not incapable either."

Zhuge Ruolan was startled, immediately pushed away Chen Chuyang, and turned to leave.

Too shameful.

"Hahaha."

Chen Chuyang laughed heartily, watching her departing back, not to mention how delighted they were.

It was truly amusing; this woman was genuinely funny. Indeed, women's thoughts are simple.

Innocent Zhuge Ruolan, called the Holy Maiden of the Yin Gui Sect, in reality knows little about matters between men and women.

Outside, Heishanyang and Li Shenghong, upon seeing Zhuge Ruolan shyly depart, found that scene intriguing.

Li Shenghong tilted their head: "Holy Maiden Princess ultimately still fell."

Heishanyang nodded: "Could anyone not fall? This kid Chen Chuyang is truly attractive to women; there's a special aura about this kid that makes people unconsciously drawn to him."

"Zhuge Ruolan has known this kid for so long; if there were no hint of feeling, that would be impossible."

Heishanyang was pleased to see that; this woman remained very modest, not as bold as Qi Ruohua.

Look at Qi Ruohua—she throws herself at Chen Chuyang outright, leaving no chance for him to refuse.

Heishanyang returned to the main hall, while Li Shenghong chased after Zhuge Ruolan, fearing she might encounter danger; after all, this is the palace, not the outside.

"Kid, this time, you're happy."

The two women threw themselves at him, yet this kid still took them.

The final step can be completed soon.

Heishanyang was envious; he also wanted to find two female goats to reward himself.

"As for that Hongxue girl, you must explain properly."

Chen Chuyang gave Heishanyang a white glance and said, "Just don't speak recklessly."

Heishanyang bared his teeth: "I'm tight‑lipped, won't speak carelessly."

The premise is whether the hush money has been paid enough.

Chen Chuyang, irritated, produced a bottle of pills for him; Heishanyang immediately swallowed them. These were good stuff—some of the kid's pills are problematic, highly toxic, and not something he could digest.

However, good pills truly have a strong effect; among the same grade, Chen Chuyang's pills are the best.

"Now you know what to say?"

"Don't worry, I won't say a single word."

"Remember."

"No problem."

Heishanyang's extortion succeeded; extorting this kid once was truly difficult.

Chen Chuyang was very helpless; in this situation, he couldn't refuse a favor, never expecting he'd have a day of being eyed by an eagle.

"Kid, outside Wangdu, the Pasture‑blade Dragon hasn't left, waiting for you to go out."

"Should we deal with him?"

"That person has been waiting outside; I'm afraid he'll react, so I left early."

The Pasture‑blade Dragon's aura was well concealed, but Heishanyang could not be fooled; he memorized its aura, and as long as it appears nearby, he can certainly detect it.

"Oh?"

Chen Chuyang's Spiritual Sense radiated outward, indeed perceiving the Pasture‑blade Dragon's aura, which flickered and was well hidden.

That aura cannot be discovered.

"Sure enough, it's outside; is he ambushing me?"

"Indeed, besides him, there's another person."

Heishanyang sensed another aura, a familiar one, but that aura had changed.

It affected Heishanyang's judgment.

Chen Chuyang's eyes narrowed, focusing on a direction; within a Formation, a person who altered their aura was cultivating.

Sensing something, Huang Fu Xiu opened his eyes, staring at Wangdu.

His heartbeat quickened, unable to cease for a long time.

After a vigorous throb for a while, Huang Fu Xiu lowered his head, murmuring, "Strange, why is it like this?"

"That feeling just now was odd; was I discovered?"

"Could it be Chen Chuyang?"

Only Chen Chuyang could detect their existence; others could not.

Huang Fu Xiu was confident in his Formation; besides the Formation, he also bore a Spiritual Artifact that concealed his aura, making detection impossible.

The gaze just now, and that sense of staring, Huang Fu Xiu would not misinterpret.

Unable to calm his mind to cultivate, that person had already slain the Earth‑Snake Ancestor and others, and Qi Sword also fell.

"It seems this ambush may have failed."

Huang Fu Xiu stood up; he wanted to leave this place, not continue the ambush.

That sense of crisis was very strong; I was being watched.

He glanced at the formation nearby; Mu Long Dao Long, sitting cross-legged inside it, remained unchanged, likely unaware of that gaze.

"Is he not feeling it, or is he just acting?"

"Mu Long Dao Long is untrustworthy; we must be careful of him."

Between monsters and humans, trust is low.

As a makeshift team, they are even less likely to fully trust each other, especially Huangfu Xiu, who is either from Tianwai or the Mu Long family—sinister and deceitful, full of tricks, cannot be trusted; these people could betray you at any moment.

Huangfu Xiu gave Mu Long Dao Long a deep look, his brows furrowed tightly.

"We must guard against him; this person must die."

Mu Long Dao Long must die; as for Chen Chuyang, if possible, kill him; if not, at least don't impede his escape.

"We should prepare in advance; if really impossible, we can flee, for Chen Chuyang's strength is too great—if we don't prepare some retreat, we will likely be killed by him."

The two of them facing Chen Chuyang might not be a match for him.

Don't even mention the others beside him; those people are not simple either.

The Strong Ones inside Wanggong are not simple either; if they all attack together, they are also dangerous.

Turn passivity into initiative.

While thinking, Mu Long Dao Long woke up.

He nodded at Huangfu Xiu, stood up, and said slowly: "The Earth Snake Old Ancestor is dead, and Qi Jian is dead as well."

"They have come out."

"Huangfu Xiu, fellow Daoist, stay ready to strike; Chen Chuyang and his group could appear at any moment—we must not let them leave alive."

Huangfu Xiu smiled and replied: "Good."

Deep down, however, he had another thought.

"The retreat must be prepared well; he must not discover it."

The two share the same goal, but their thoughts differ.
