Chapter 801: Face-to-Face Provocation

Hearing Xuan Che's words, Kong Yu managed a faint smile.

She was somewhat absent-minded.

Others might think Wang Daniu and the witch were already dead, but she knew very well that both of them were still alive and well.

Wang Daniu had transformed into Wan Guiyuan, while the witch had transformed into Lu Xiu, and the two of them were even participating in this Spirit Ranking Battle.

Before the Spirit Ranking Battle began, while the participants were waiting outside the Earth Vein Stele, Wang Daniu had secretly given her an order to leave marks along the way.

Although she was unwilling, because she was constrained by Wang Daniu's Restriction, she could not resist and had to comply.

Just a moment ago, she had suddenly received a message from Wang Daniu.

He wanted her to lure Xuan Che to a designated location.

She knew clearly that this must be another trap aimed at Brother Xuan Che.

She wanted to warn Brother Xuan Che, but because of the shackles of the Restriction in her mind, she could not utter a single word.

She could only sigh secretly as if resigning herself to fate.

Brother Xuan Che's cultivation had improved, and his strength far exceeded what it was back in the Alchemy Emperor Secret Realm; he should be able to deal with Wang Daniu and the witch, and perhaps even have a chance to kill them both.

When that time came, she would be able to regain her freedom!

Thinking of this.

The worry in her heart suddenly dissipated a great deal, replaced by a glimmer of hope.

Seeing Kong Yu's expression changing constantly, as if she had not yet recovered from the sad experiences of the past, the guilt in Xuan Che's heart deepened.

He sighed and deliberately changed the subject.

"Yu'er, let's continue searching for the Fortune Spirit."

Kong Yu nodded.

Xuan Che flew up, about to head forward.

"Brother Xuan Che, wait."

Just then, Kong Yu's voice suddenly came; Xuan Che's figure paused in mid-air, and he looked at Kong Yu in confusion, "What is it, Yu'er?"

Kong Yu pointed in another direction, "I want to go in that direction."

Hearing this, Xuan Che was taken aback, "Yu'er, you have always followed me before; why do you suddenly want to go that way?"

Kong Yu's heart skipped a beat, but she shook her head calmly, "I just feel that going that way might yield greater gains."

Xuan Che raised an eyebrow.

In fact, he had always trusted his first judgment.

In his view, his first thought was to continue forward, so continuing forward should be the direction with the greatest gains.

However, he had just made Yu'er sad and was thinking about how to make it up to her, so how could he reject her enthusiasm?

Since Yu'er wanted to go in another direction, then they would just go.

If that direction didn't yield much, he could always just follow his own idea afterward.

In any case, he had already obtained quite a lot of Fortune Power along the way, and with the Fortune Power he had currently accumulated, even if he did nothing for the rest of the time, he could basically secure first place.

Thinking of this, he gave Kong Yu an indulgent smile, "Since Yu'er wants to go in that direction, then let's follow Yu'er's idea."

Hearing this, Kong Yu felt very conflicted.

There was both joy at Xuan Che's attitude and worry about what was to come.

She hoped Brother Xuan Che would be able to turn the tide and kill those two demons.

She sighed secretly in her heart.

She flew with Xuan Che toward the location designated by Wang Daniu.

Mu Lingxi sat leisurely on a large rock and looked at Wang Jianqiang below the rock, "Senior Brother, do we really not need to do it ourselves? This is too boring."

Wang Jianqiang looked up and shook his head with a smile, "Our current identities are Wan Guiyuan and Lu Xiu."

"If we defeat Xuan Che, wouldn't that be terrible? Wouldn't our cover be blown immediately?"

Mu Lingxi giggled and stepped out with one leg to the side, "Then how do we explain our Fortune Power? And how will the final ranking battle be fought?"

Wang Jianqiang's eyes lit up, and he cast an appreciative look at Mu Lingxi, "Don't participate in the ranking battle; I have my own ways."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Mu Lingxi pouted, said nothing more, and jumped down from the rock.

Wang Jianqiang caught her instinctively.

"If Senior Brother wanted to see so much, why didn't you just tell Junior Sister?"

Mu Lingxi hugged Wang Jianqiang's neck and said with a grin.

Wang Jianqiang coughed dryly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Xuan Che is arriving soon, be serious."

"Oh."

Mu Lingxi nodded and jumped out of Wang Jianqiang's arms.

Just then.

The two suddenly sensed two faint auras coming from afar.

These two auras were very familiar.

They were none other than Kong Yu and Xuan Che.

"They're here."

Wang Jianqiang looked at Mu Lingxi, "Remember to follow my previous plan?"

"Oh."

Mu Lingxi nodded.

Then the two flew into mid-air and kept looking around, as if trying to identify the direction.

The two people's auras were neither deliberately released nor deliberately restrained.

At the same time.

In the distance.

Xuan Che, who was flying forward, had a change in expression, "There is someone ahead."

"This aura..."

"It is Wan Guiyuan and Lu Xiu of the Beast Taming Sect!"

She had met the two in the Alchemy Emperor Secret Realm, so she naturally recognized their auras.

Hearing Xuan Che's voice, a flash of killing intent appeared on Kong Yu's face, "Senior Brother, I want these two Beast Taming Sect disciples to die!"

Xuan Che nodded.

He understood Kong Yu's killing intent very well.

That Wang Daniu was brought into the Alchemy Emperor Secret Realm by Beast Taming Sect disciples, and the Beast Taming Sect disciples had even protected Wang Daniu.

Regarding her encounter, all Core Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect could not escape responsibility.

"Junior Sister, rest assured, neither of these two will escape."

"Senior Brother will go and behead them both right now."

A flash of killing intent crossed Xuan Che's eyes, and his speed erupted suddenly, leaving Kong Yu far behind.

Watching that figure rapidly moving away, a look of worry appeared on Kong Yu's face, "Senior Brother, I hope you can be safe and sound."

With Xuan Che erupting at full speed, in just a short moment, two figures appeared at the edge of his vision.

Seeing those two familiar figures.

Xuan Che sneered, his speed increasing further.

In the blink of an eye, the distance to the two was less than a thousand zhang.

Only then.

Wan Guiyuan and Lu Xiu seemed to have just noticed him, and they both looked toward him.

Afterwards, he clearly saw a look of surprise on their faces.

Immediately following that was seeing the two of them become vigilant in an instant.

"They are actually not running?"

Seeing that the two did not run away at the first opportunity, a look of mockery appeared on Xuan Che's face.

Did these two not think that just because they hadn't had a direct conflict with him, he would let them off?

That was simply too naive.

Just at this moment.

He suddenly saw Wan Guiyuan facing him, his hands continuously forming seals.

A feeling of unease suddenly welled up in his heart.

Following that, his brows furrowed, and a sense of doubt arose in his heart.

How could a mere Seventh-Order Will Stage Cultivator make him feel a sense of crisis?

Just at this moment.

A beam of Spirit Light suddenly shot out from Wan Guiyuan's fingertips, then merged into the void.

The next moment.

A curtain of light suddenly manifested in the air, shrouding all areas within a thousand-zhang diameter centered on him.

His expression tightened, and he stopped directly in mid-air.

He looked at the surrounding light curtain, then his gaze fell upon Wan Guiyuan, "Wan Guiyuan, did you know beforehand that I, Xuan, was coming?"

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "This Array of mine was originally prepared for a powerful enemy. I didn't expect that while that powerful enemy hasn't arrived, I would instead run into Daoist Friend Xuan, who came with such aggressive momentum."

"Wan and Junior Sister Lu believe we have never offended Daoist Friend Xuan; why is Daoist Friend Xuan so unkind to us two senior and junior siblings?"

"Never offended me?"

Upon hearing Wan Guiyuan's words, Xuan Che sneered, "From the moment Wang Daniu appeared in the Alchemy Emperor Secret Realm, I, Xuan Che, have been at odds with you Beast Taming Sect disciples."

Wan Guiyuan realized, "So it is because of Wang Daniu."

As he spoke, he shook his head, "The one who defeated you time and again and went head-to-head with your Junior Sister was Wang Daniu; what does that have to do with us?"

"Daoist Friend Xuan is being a bit too unreasonable."

Seeing that this piece of trash Wan Guiyuan actually dared to provoke him to his face, Xuan Che's complexion turned deathly pale.

"Bastard, you are courting death!"
