Chapter 344

The white-haired youth used the crumbling museum great formation to silently strike the dharma patterns into Chen Xiyuan's body.

Li Zhuiyuan was busy stepping on grids and paving the way for Chen Xiyuan's escape at the time; he only discovered it later when examining Chen Xiyuan's body.

But no matter how hidden the white-haired youth's move was, it couldn't deceive one person, and that was Zhao Yi; the museum great formation was set up by Zhao Yi himself, and he held the formation eye.

Therefore, Li Zhuiyuan knew that Zhao Yi would definitely follow tonight.

As for how to follow and what means to adopt—interest exchange, true feelings, or forming small cliques, etc. —it didn't matter.

Zhao Yi knew he had taken action to save Chen Xiyuan and also witnessed himself being carried away by Chen Xiyuan.

If he didn't come tonight, it would mean that the tacit understanding and trust of the past were all cleared to zero.

Being on the same wave and in the same city, when you know the other party is in danger and don't take any action, what use are you?

Even if you know this danger can be resolved by the youth, if you don't come, that's an attitude problem.

And when Zhao Yi appeared as expected, it marked that the "encirclement" tonight had its identities reversed.

This was also the reason why the two deliberately laid out a plan and were divided into "black and white paths"—wasn't it for the convenience of "eating both black and white"?

Zhao Yi had a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth, his peripheral vision sweeping over Lu Xuan, who was standing beside him.

After the museum great formation collapsed, the other party had told him that they suspected a powerful formation expert sent by the Yu family had arrived; even though he had two formation tools in hand, he still couldn't stop the other party from destroying the great formation.

Hearing this, Zhao Yi knew that this Lu Xuan was finished.

Formation tools were inherently scarce items in the Jianghu; high-quality, inherited formation tools were basically all in the hands of major forces.

You let the Li guy see the two treasures in your hands; then do you still have a way to live?

Others didn't know, but he, Zhao Yi, had seen it with his own eyes.

Really,

Outsiders couldn't imagine at all just how poor the Li guy was!

However, although Li Zhuiyuan asked "what are you still stunned for," and Zhao Yi also insinuated and scolded "idiot who doesn't know life or death," Zhao Yi still didn't move.

Li Zhuiyuan received the message.

This explained that the Lu Xuan standing in front of him and talking to him was not the real Lu Xuan.

But Zhao Yi being here meant that the real Lu Xuan must also be here.

"Lu Xuan" stood at the very front, and the three black shadows standing behind were his subordinates.

The one in the middle of the three black shadows was just blocked behind "Lu Xuan"; this was a standard protective standing position; the team formation master should be there.

Really cautious enough.

Li Zhuiyuan knew that this caution wasn't aimed at him, but at Chen Xiyuan.

The Chen family girl, even under severe injuries, still made people not dare to underestimate her.

The real Lu Xuan was protected in the middle by three people; even as their own side, Zhao Yi didn't have absolute certainty of a successful sneak attack.

Then for Li Zhuiyuan, what he needed to do next was to help Zhao Yi create a suitable opportunity to stab in the back.

Even if they occupied the advantage, the other party was also a hard bone; finding a way to smash it with a sudden burst of force was better than wearing down his own teeth.

This wave had just begun; preserving their own state as much as possible was very important.

Chen Xiyuan looked at the fake Lu Xuan and said: "The Lu family of the Four Xuan Sect."

In the museum, Chen Xiyuan was busy beating someone at first, and later busy being beaten by a group of people.

She wasn't like Li Zhuiyuan; she didn't have that energy, nor did she have that formation level to wipe the grid glass and look outside.

Therefore, this was her first time meeting Lu Xuan since arriving in Luoyang.

Fake Lu Xuan: "Miss Chen, greetings."

The Four Xuan Sect was a sect with a very respected status in the Jianghu; under it were the four great families: Lu, Shi, Bian, and Man.

Therefore, it could also be viewed as an alliance composed of these four families.

These four families respectively specialized in: formations, puppets, feng shui, and fate calculation.

The Jianghu was turbulent, and inheritance was not easy; it was very difficult for these four families to produce strong people good at direct fighting; the ancestors of the four families saw this point and merged into one sect, supporting each other and standing together.

It was rumored that there was a unique evaluation system within the Four Xuan Sect.

Every generation, the four great families would first choose the best among themselves, and then conduct a collective evaluation; the one with the highest aptitude and talent would light the lamp, and the other three would worship him and assist him.

Although the Four Xuan Sect had never produced a Long Wang in history, due to its special nature, its status was far above the former Jiujiang Zhao.

Some said it was because the lamp-lighting teams of the Four Xuan Sect in every generation were too selfish; although they came from the same sect, they still insisted on their own family within the sect; if any family produced a Long Wang, it might change the pattern of the Four Xuan Sect, turning it into one family as the master and three families as assistants, which was why they lacked that breath in the competition of every generation and couldn't walk to the end.

Others said it was because the people of the Four Xuan Sect in every generation only sought that merit on the river to maintain and develop their own family inheritance; whenever they sensed that the difficulty of the waves was increasing or the competitive pressure was intensifying, they would decisively light the lamp a second time to seek self-preservation, which was considered the wise move of long-term development.

Still others said that this mode of the Four Xuan Sect was too opportunistic and was disliked by the Heavenly Dao, leading to suppression.

Li Zhuiyuan believed that the latter was the main reason.

When this mode was fixed, its nature changed.

If this mode could produce a Long Wang, then why didn't the several Long Wang sects gather at a table, every generation have these families gather a team, set the order, this generation you, next generation me, next next generation him, and completely monopolize this Long Wang position?

Chen Xiyuan: "I can understand why you want to kill me, but I can't understand why you want to kill me secretly."

Fake Lu Xuan: "Associating with the Yu family and helping the tyrant is unforgivable."

After speaking, fake Lu Xuan reached out and waved forward:

"Brother Yi, you've worked hard."

Zhao Yi: "Easy to say, just watch."

Clearly, that group of Lu Xuan didn't even intend to take action themselves, but treated Zhao Yi as their thug.

It seemed that in order to be able to follow tonight, Zhao Yi had indeed "lowered his head and acted small."

Zhao Yi walked forward two steps, his gaze fixed on Chen Xiyuan, and opened his mouth to say:

"Miss Chen, forgive me; don't blame me in the future."

Chen Xiyuan said coldly: "Jiujiang Zhao Yi, you killed countless people in Lijiang, willingly acted as a running dog under the Bodhisattva, and even exterminated your own family. Such a person of such temperament, at this moment, why bother with this hypocritical posturing?"

As she spoke, Chen Xiyuan lowered her head, looking at the youth in front of her with a gentle gaze, and continued:

"Promise me one thing; since your target is me, then let him go."

Zhao Yi: "Heh heh."

Fake Lu Xuan: "Brother Yi, what do you think?"

Zhao Yi: "How is that possible? The fight yesterday, let's settle it all together today."

Fake Lu Xuan: "I will provide cover for Brother Yi."

Zhao Yi: "Go."

The Liang sisters moved; the two figures were like silk, first scattering, then pincer-attacking.

Chen Xiyuan placed her hand on the youth's shoulder.

Li Zhuiyuan opened his arms and said: "Don't use that pathetic domain of yours right now to interfere with me."

Chen Xiyuan stopped her movement.

Actually, Li Zhuiyuan didn't hide anything in front of her, nor did he hide his strength; he had repeatedly said several times that he could solve the problem tonight.

But after seeing that the visitors were the Four Xuan Sect and that Jiujiang Zhao Yi was also here, the hope that had just ignited in Chen Xiyuan's heart was extinguished after all.

She didn't know where the youth's confidence came from.

Then, she saw it.

On the right, Liang Yan's soft sword moved like a silver snake, the sword energy aggressive.

The youth waved his right hand lightly.

"Hum!"

Lin Shu You, with his vertical pupils opened, descended and blocked Liang Yan.

On the left, Liang Li's dagger drew a moon arc, sharp and keen.

The youth pressed his left hand downward lightly.

"Pa!"

Like blood flowers blooming.

Tan Wenbin appeared and blocked Liang Li.

Zhao Yi took a deep breath.

He knew what he was about to face, so he felt a bit of pain in his heart, and he also knew clearly that he would feel even more pain on his body next.

But he still walked the middle path and charged toward the youth.

"Boom!"

Runsheng smashed down, and along with him came a heavy Yellow River shovel.

Zhao Yi's figure stopped rapidly, and he even hurriedly retreated a distance.

Looking at the deep pit that appeared in front of him and Runsheng standing in front of the youth, Zhao Yi felt a toothache; this person really would smash him to death without regard for anything.

After Li Zhuiyuan was abducted by Chen Xiyuan, Tan Wenbin and the others, who had Zhao Yi leading the way and opening the back door, naturally also left smoothly.

They began to search for Brother Xiaoyuan.

However, since there was a foothold, they would definitely send someone to wait near the Yao Ji Hotel.

When Li Zhuiyuan brought Chen Xiyuan back after passing through the massage alley, Tan Wenbin was watching from the roof on one side.

Tan Wenbin immediately picked up the big brother phone, notified Runsheng and Lin Shu You, and after they returned, prevented them from returning to the hotel; all three dispersed to guard the perimeter.
