Chapter 334: Reason not to kill you? Beg me to spare you!
The Great Cauldron rings, shaking the past and future, emitting ten thousand rays of rosy light, shrouded in ancient chaotic Qi.
The characters upon it begin to slowly freeze in place.
1. Walk directly out of the Xie family's carriage pavilion and leave. (Hint: You may encounter a great disaster, possibly nine lives out of ten.)
2. Walk out of the Xie family's carriage pavilion and show yourself directly. (Hint: You may encounter disaster, possibly not lose your life, but there is a risk of injury.)
3. Walk out of the Xie family's carriage pavilion, reveal Primordial Spirit cultivation, and then show yourself. (Hint: You may encounter disaster, possibly safe and sound.)
4. Walk out of the Xie family's carriage pavilion, reveal martial arts cultivation, and then show yourself. (Hint: It may be beneficial for the future, possibly unexpected gains.)
5. Participate personally. (0/3)
Lu Chen looks carefully at the five options above.
He rules out the last one, participating personally.
However, it seems there has been no opportunity to participate personally in this simulation so far.
Judging by the hints, only Option 4 seems good among the four choices above; the hints for the others all suggest potential danger.
Lu Chen does not hesitate and chooses Option 4 directly.
4. Walk out of the Xie family's carriage pavilion, reveal martial arts cultivation, and then show yourself. (Hint: It may be beneficial for the future, possibly unexpected gains.)
【You walk calmly off the carriage; the coachman does not dare to get off, but you know that as an ordinary person, he will naturally be fine.】
【You feel the jade pendant given by Lu Hua on your chest.】
【This jade pendant has three lifelike Yin-Yang fish, seemingly rippling with a faint green light, emitting a trace of warmth, capable of concealing the Primordial Spirit aura on your body, and also has the effect of calming the mind.】
【The moonlight hangs high, and the bamboo forest rustles.】
【You slowly release the Primordial Qi that you had hidden in your body using the Qi-Restraining Method.】
【Your cultivation of the Fourth Realm of martial arts begins to manifest.】
【You follow the moonlight toward the Sima family's carriage pavilion next door.】
【You notice that the carriage that had just parked outside the carriage pavilion has disappeared.】
【You walk straight in.】

Shen Kuan's face is ugly, especially since Xu Jiangxian has no intention of letting the two of them leave.
It seems there are still people peeking at this place?
The lame old man thinks of one person; he has been hiding in the dark, but has never found Xie Guan's trail.
Although he has never met Xie Guan, he has seen his portrait.
Now, Xie Guan is not among the Sima family members in this carriage.
Could this person be Xie Guan!
Zhu Ziqian seems to have guessed who it is; he saw this Xie family concubine-born son intentionally sitting in the carriage behind at the Xie family gate.
Xu Jiangxian stands with his hands behind his back, looking at the entrance with interest.
Master Lianchi is also paying attention to the entrance.
The sound of light footsteps rings out at the entrance!
Everyone looks at the entrance outside the bamboo forest.
Under the clear moonlight.
The young man wears a simple, elegant robe, his figure tall and straight.
His long black hair is tied with a jade hairpin, his appearance extremely handsome, his eyes like pitch-black ink, revealing a hint of coldness.
Sima Muqing seems not to have expected that the person coming would be Xie Guan.
A friend introduced by Xie Yuan and Xie Qiyue in the Xie family, said to be well-acquainted with Zhang Yunzhi.
Unexpected!
This life-and-death crisis actually caused her to neglect the existence of this person for a moment.
Shen Kuan's face sinks instantly, his gaze revealing endless hatred; he recognizes the person before him as Xie Guan.
For the past few months, Shen Kuan's hatred for Xie Guan has reached its peak, wishing he could tear him into ten thousand pieces.
Today's turmoil was also caused by Xie Guan.
The lame old man's eyes flicker with inexplicable light; he came today precisely to kill Xie Guan.
At this moment, he examines Xie Guan carefully, finding his appearance no different from what was depicted in the portrait, perhaps even more delicate.
Shen Kuan's face is gloomy; it really is Xie Guan, and he cannot help but have the veins on his arms bulge.
Xu Jiangxian praises:
"What a handsome young man."
~
【You walk into the open space, and both groups seem to look toward you.】
【You bow and say: "Greetings, two seniors."】
【"Greetings, Lady Xu, Young Miss Muqing."】
【Your face is calm, without any panic.】
【Xu Yuexi is stunned, nodding slowly, seeing your calm demeanor.】
【To be able to maintain etiquette at this life-and-death juncture is truly not easy.】
【You are definitely not a foolish person who knows no fear; otherwise, you would not be the only one to survive after so many people died in the Xie and Sima families.】
【You look at Shen Kuan, whom you met once in the Hongjing Courtyard; his expression is somewhat hideous now.】
【There is also a lame old man, whom you feel is a stranger, never having seen him before; although he is restraining his emotions, you still discover that his right leg unconsciously leans forward after you enter, revealing hidden killing intent.】
【Sima Muqing and this Lady Xu only look surprised.】
【The black killing intent lingering on Sima Muqing's brows still exists.】
【Zhu Ziqian, a friend of Sima Muqing whom you met at the Xie estate, is behind the middle-aged man, coldly sizing you up.】
【At this moment!】
【The most eye-catching people in the field are the middle-aged man with grey temples and an old monk in grey.】
【Both are restrained, completely like ordinary people.】
【Xu Jiangxian smiles: "You, a martial artist of the Fourth Realm, what courage do you have to watch from the sidelines?"】
【"Since they are protected by Master Lianchi, I will not move for now."】
【Xu Jiangxian says coldly: "Give me a reason not to kill you."】
【"If you have any backing, feel free to say it; I don't know if it can be greater than mine."】
【You instantly feel a cold, murderous aura around you, like power, like a prison.】
【Zhu Ziqian sneers; what background does a Xie family concubine-born son have? Even the Xie family would likely only be considered slightly troublesome before this Demon Master, or perhaps if that Xie Hong came.】
【Sima Muqing is also worried for you; with this Demon Master's nature, he truly kills without blinking, and many Xie family young misses and young masters have just died.】
【The grey-clad old monk also raises his eyes to look.】
【Shen Kuan is excited; the Demon Master wants to kill you, you are definitely dead.】
【Xu Xianyue sighs; another Xie family young master is implicated, but she cannot even save herself, like a clay bodhisattva crossing a river; looking at her daughter beside her, she says nothing.】
【You just remain silent, not speaking.】
【Xu Jiangxian takes a step forward, and a phantom of a great snow mountain actually condenses behind him.】
【You only feel a great mountain pressing on your shoulders, your bones creaking, your Qi and blood churning, your knees bending slightly.】
【The Primordial Qi in your body becomes thick, but you can only resist with difficulty.】
【Xu Jiangxian smiles leisurely, and the phantom of the snow mountain behind him collapses suddenly; hidden beneath the snow mountain is a furnace and a volcano.】
【The three barriers of your martial arts, "Tendon Refining," "Bone Casting," and "Qi and Blood," press down heavily.】
【Every inch of your skin feels as if it is being roasted, squeezed heavily, your spine taut like a bowstring, your entire body bent.】
【The Primordial Qi in your body grows stronger, but you can no longer support it.】
【The middle-aged man's voice comes: "Of course, you can also beg me, and I can spare your life."】
