Chapter 421: What Do You Think?

~9 min read 1,660 words

"Brilliant, truly brilliant!"

Just at this moment, Luo Mingxi broke in from outside, and looking at the two people transferring power above, he couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.

"This grand drama is a pleasure to watch. Su Ye is indeed the number one genius of this region; one has to admire him. But no matter how formidable you are, the final winner is my Luo family!"

"Su Ye, oh Su Ye, you are indeed very strong, but it's a pity that while you can handle open spears, you cannot handle hidden arrows, and you have underestimated the human heart!"

"It's you!" Looking at Luo Mingxi who had brought people to break in, Su Ye suddenly realized, "Luo Mingxi, was all of this guided by you?"

"That's right. I instigated both Elder Xiao and Elder Han of your Zhengyang Sect, and even your little junior sister was tricked by my design. There is nothing wrong with admitting this."

"You, Su Ye, are indeed formidable, but your little junior sister is lacking by more than just a little bit, especially this brain of hers—it really isn't much."

"You!" Luo Mingxi's words made Su Qinghe somewhat unable to hold back, and she was filled with even more guilt toward her senior brother. Without realizing it, she had become the sharp blade stabbing at her own senior brother.

For a moment, Su Qinghe had an urge to have no face to face her senior brother, and at the same time, she was filled with hatred for Luo Mingxi.

"Hehe, Miss Su Qinghe, you don't need to be angry; I am telling the truth."

"Ask your own heart: do you have the ability to be the Sect Leader? If someone like you became the Sect Leader, I'm afraid it wouldn't be long before people could play you like a fiddle!"

"You, I..."

"What about me? You don't even have confidence in yourself, do you!" Walking forward step by step, Luo Mingxi's words were full of disdain for Su Qinghe; this disdain was meant for the people of the Zhengyang Sect to hear, specifically to pluck at their fragile nerves.

Their Sect Leader was already destined to die, and Su Qinghe, who had obtained Su Ye's internal energy, was like mud that couldn't be plastered onto a wall—easily played by others.

In other words, they had no future continuing to muddle along here; who knew when the Zhengyang Sect would be destroyed in the hands of this unreliable new Sect Leader? It would be better to switch allegiances.

Following Luo Mingxi were a group of experts from the Luo family, and the crowd had already surrounded the place so tightly that not even water could trickle through.

He had come this time using both soft and hard tactics, not believing that these people could stir up any trouble.

Luo Mingxi led a few experts toward Su Ye, but his gaze was fixed on the Bead in Su Ye's hand from beginning to end.

"Su Ye, I actually admire you, and it has been hard on you as Sect Leader. Actually, you are worthy of this position; with you here, even my Luo family has to retreat three stages."

"It's a pity that you are surrounded by idiots. Not only can they not help you, but they are also one worse than the other at dragging you down!"

Passing by Han Mengzhang's body, Luo Mingxi paused, and looking at the lifeless Han Mengzhang on the ground, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"Especially this idiot. He doesn't even think about how the current momentum of your Zhengyang Sect came to be. With the strength of our Luo family, why would we fear your Zhengyang Sect? Why, despite drooling over your territory, have we never made a move?"

"Do you really think it's because your sect is full of experts and not to be trifled with? Aside from you, Su Ye, and your late master, who else in the Zhengyang Sect is worthy of our Luo family's fear!"

With a faint, disdainful hum, Luo Mingxi then lamented, "It is precisely because of you, Sect Leader Su Ye, acting as a deterrent that the Zhengyang Sect counts as a major sect. Without you, they are nothing!"

"But they are overly confident, thinking that without you, they can be the Sect Leader themselves. Tell me, aren't they pitifully stupid? Power really can blind people's eyes!"

"Stop them! Don't let them get near the Sect Leader!" Seeing Luo Mingxi heading toward Su Ye, some of the disciples wanted to block him.

Just a moment ago, that was an internal struggle, and they didn't know who to help between the Sect Leader and the Elders, but now it was clearly an external enemy invasion—how could they endure this?

For a time, the crowd was indignant, wanting to teach these people a lesson. However, the people the Luo family brought were all experts and gave them no chance at all; everyone was easily intercepted by the experts Luo Mingxi brought.

"Su Ye, you don't need to worry. As long as you are willing to cooperate, I will not harm your little junior sister!"

【Empty line】

"If you resist to the death, then I cannot guarantee what your little junior sister will experience. In this day and age, if such a beautiful young girl has no one to protect her, the outcome will be very miserable!"

"Luo Mingxi, what exactly do you want?" A flash of anger crossed his face, but it was suppressed by Su Ye.

He no longer had the strength to protect his junior sister, and even if he wanted to fight to the death, he feared the final result would be that the fish would surely die, but the net might not break.

Su Ye saw it clearly: since the other party could walk here smoothly without making a sound, it was evident that the Zhengyang Sect had long been infiltrated like a sieve.

The Zhengyang Sect disciples in front of him now were likely the only ones left who hadn't been taken down.

For a moment, a sense of failure surged into his heart. It seemed that his tenure as Sect Leader was truly a failure, not even noticing that people had infiltrated to this extent.

"Sect Leader Su Ye, our Luo family has come here, firstly to annex you, and secondly for it!"

Pointing to the Bead in Su Ye's hand, Luo Mingxi stated his desire openly, not worried at all about what Su Ye might do.

This was the critical moment of Su Ye's power transfer; since the process had begun, it could not be easily interrupted.

He bet that Su Ye would not let go; otherwise, under the backlash, his precious junior sister would be crippled if not killed.

Who told him that Su Qinghe was his only weakness? When one is in the Jianghu, how can one have a weakness for others to grasp? Otherwise, Su Ye would be their cautionary tale.

Su Ye could be considered a young hero, but what a pity, what a pity!

Originally, he could have completely waited until after Su Ye finished the power transfer before appearing with his men. By then, relying on a mere Su Qinghe, even with Su Ye's internal energy, taking her down would be as easy as turning over one's hand.

But he still wanted to see Su Ye off; it could be considered heroes cherishing heroes. Su Ye had held up the massive Zhengyang Sect at a young age, which was indeed very admirable.

"Brother Su!" Watching Su Ye's breathing become intermittent and his face grow increasingly pale, Luo Mingxi said slowly, "It seems you are at the end of your rope; let me see you off!"

"Don't worry, as long as your junior sister doesn't resist, I will never lay a hand on her. But if she resists, then don't blame me!"

"Stop!" Just as Luo Mingxi was about to make a move, a voice suddenly came, the tone carrying an unquestionable feeling.

The Zhengyang Sect disciples and the experts brought by Luo Mingxi who were currently fighting simultaneously felt a powerful force stop the struggle between them, and it also made them guard against it as if facing a great enemy.

"This Bead is not bad. Su Ye, is it? I can guarantee that you and your junior sister will be safe and sound. I want this Bead; is that okay?"

"Presumptuous!" Seeing the person who suddenly appeared wanting to snatch the prize, the Luo family experts subconsciously refused to accept it, and one of them even pointed a sword at Shen Yu.

They had gone to such great lengths, spending who knew how much manpower, material resources, and effort, and they were about to succeed. Now someone jumped out wanting to stop them—joking, they might agree, but the weapons in their hands wouldn't.

"Where did this ignorant thing come from? You dare to snatch something the Luo family has taken a fancy to? If you're smart, get lost quickly, otherwise, you'll be in for a world of trouble!"

"Oh? The Luo family has such great prestige!" Turning his head, Shen Yu stared at the other party, "I am right here; let's see how you make me be in for a world of trouble!"

"You bastard!" After seeing Shen Yu's face clearly, Luo Mingxi's heart trembled, and then he rushed forward and slapped the Luo family expert who had just spoken directly in the face.

This slap was fierce and accurate, directly beating the other party into a bloody mess.

"In front of Lord Shen, is this where you can be presumptuous!"

"Lord Shen, if you have taken a fancy to this thing, then it is yours. My Luo family has absolutely no objections!"

Bowing his head, Luo Mingxi was as respectful as could be. I would like to have an objection, but do I dare!
