Chapter 1383

~4 min read 796 words

Su Xuan's words were very direct.

One sentence made Zhu Yuyan realize something unusual.

Zhu Yuyan's eyebrows raised slightly, and the face under her veil also underwent some subtle changes. She asked Su Xuan: "What debt does the Holy Emperor want to settle with me?"

She did not quite understand where she had offended Su Xuan.

Clearly, they were still chatting happily last night; she had exchanged the Yin Gui Sect's complete attachment to Su Xuan for his promise not to interfere in the matter of Shi Zhixuan, giving her a chance to kill him.

That statement, of course, could not be taken seriously.

After all, the Yin Gui Sect is her Yin Gui Sect; how could it be handed over to Su Xuan so easily?

But she considered that she had done a good job with the surface work; even if Su Xuan wanted to turn against her one day, it shouldn't be now.

Su Xuan did not directly say what debt he was prepared to settle with Zhu Yuyan, but instead turned his head and looked at Shi Qingxuan beside him, "Qingxuan, you take Feixuan and leave here first."

Shi Qingxuan was a bit curious, but she also knew that Su Xuan was prepared to talk to Zhu Yuyan, and what they were discussing was definitely not anything good.

She stood up immediately and looked at Shi Feixuan.

Shi Feixuan's eyebrows raised, feeling a bit curious, but in the end, she chose to follow Shi Qingxuan and leave the room.

Seeing the two of them leave, although Zhu Yuyan was surprised that Shi Feixuan would appear by Su Xuan's side, she remained calm on the surface and did not reveal these questions.

She also said to Wanwan: "Wan'er, you go out too!"

"Master Zhu..." Wanwan looked at Zhu Yuyan with some worry. As Zhu Yuyan's disciple, with Su Xuan coming here with ill intent, she had roughly guessed some of the truth and also guessed what her master had done, which made her even more worried about her master's safety.

But after feeling the gaze Zhu Yuyan directed at her, Wanwan finally lowered her head and said: "Yes!"

Wanwan followed Shi Qingxuan and Shi Feixuan out of the main hall.

After they stepped into the main hall, Su Xuan's sleeve brushed past, and the door closed automatically without wind.

Afterward, a force permeated out, forming a barrier that completely isolated the entire main hall.

After Wanwan arrived outside, she did not pay attention to Shi Qingxuan and Shi Feixuan, but kept her focus on the situation in the main hall. However, to her surprise, all her sensory abilities lost their effectiveness.

She could not perceive anything about what was happening in the main hall.

She tried to see the situation inside through the cracks in the window, but found that a cloud of mist appeared before her eyes. As for sounds and such, it goes without saying—she couldn't hear anything at all.

After realizing these changes, Wanwan's heart suddenly sank.

"Master Zhu, oh Master Zhu, what exactly did you do to provoke the other party into setting up such a large formation?"

She could guess what her master had done to cause Su Xuan to have such an attitude, but she did not know the specific details.

In the main hall, Zhu Yuyan also realized the change in the surrounding environment. She felt uneasy, but as the Demonic Queen of the Demonic Sect and a veteran of the jianghu, she forced herself to remain calm. Looking at Su Xuan in front of her, she said again: "Now that there are no outsiders, the Holy Emperor can say what the specific matter is."

This time, Su Xuan did not keep her in suspense and went straight to the point, "People from the Cihang Jingzhai found me today, and the Four Great Holy Monks were also in their company. They carried out an ambush against me."

Zhu Yuyan's eyes narrowed, then returned to calm, "The woman dressed in male attire earlier seems to be the successor of the Cihang Jingzhai, Shi Feixuan. Is that how she became the Holy Emperor's captive?"

Zhu Yuyan is Zhu Yuyan; her insight is extraordinary. She saw at a glance that Shi Feixuan was Su Xuan's captive, not someone involved with him.

"Yes."

Su Xuan nodded.

Zhu Yuyan added: "The Cihang Jingzhai has always considered itself the leader of the righteous path. The Daoist wanderer Ning Daoqi is willing to act as their thug. Besides Ning Daoqi, the Four Great Holy Monks are also top-tier figures in the Buddhist path. In the past, they once joined forces to surround and kill Shi Zhixuan. I didn't expect that today, they would actually set out again to surround and kill the Holy Emperor."
