Chapter 1045: Borrowing a Knife to Kill

Xu Que's name resounded throughout the Lost City in a single day!

It wasn't that the Lost City was too small, it was really that Xu Que was too monstrous, doing so many ruthless things in one breath without a sound, and the key was that this guy was only a half-immortal cultivator!

In the Lost Land, half-immortal meant being at the very bottom, unable to dig for Vitality Rice, and unable to beat Human Immortal Realm experts. Major forces didn't even look down on them, and even if they begged to join, they wouldn't be willing to recruit them.

And now, it was just such a half-immortal small cultivator who beheaded Human Immortal Realm experts with one broken sword in one breath, and even killed an early-stage Earth Immortal Realm expert. How could this not be scary?

When the dark night fell that day, all the large and small forces in the Lost City stood on the side of the street, watching the direction of the Sword Pavilion in the distance.

The flames there hadn't dissipated yet, still burning, the firelight filling the sky, illuminating the four directions, becoming the most dazzling scenery in this dark night!

Outside the Da Fang Association mansion.

President Lin Baiwan was silent for a long time, finally shook his head: "Scatter, do whatever you need to do, don't provoke that brat, otherwise I'll break his legs! Also, Wang Qiannian, I heard you know that brat, right? Come, this seat wants to discuss something with you!"

In the Da Qi Alliance mansion.

"Find a way to approach him, win him over. Even if he isn't willing to join our Da Qi Alliance, we must establish an alliance relationship with him."

Heaven Alliance mansion.

Heaven Alliance Leader Li Tianxun sat on the high seat in the hall, looking at the many backbones of the Heaven Alliance below, and said meaningfully: "A mere half-immortal, yet possessing such strength, this person's fortune is probably not shallow!"

A lean man immediately spoke: "Alliance Leader, ignore what kind of fortune he has. Once you make a move, no matter how powerful he is, he will have to kneel obediently in front of you!"

These words sounded very pusillanimous, but to everyone, it didn't seem unreasonable.

Li Tianxun was at the mid-stage of the Earth Immortal Realm. Even Liu Hualong had to be respectful to Li Tianxun, which showed the strength gap between the two.

Xu Que's battle with Liu Hualong almost killed himself. If he encountered Li Tianxun, he would definitely be defeated.

But just as the lean man's words fell, another man in a Confucian shirt smiled slightly and shook his head: "Lin Huan, the Alliance Leader's identity is so noble. If you ask the Alliance Leader to personally make a move to deal with a half-immortal small cultivator, if this spreads out, wouldn't it make our Heaven Alliance lose all face?"

"Face? Hehe, Fu Shanchuan, do you think face can be eaten as a meal in this place?" Lin Huan immediately sneered.

Fu Shanchuan smiled slightly again, didn't continue speaking, and looked at Li Tianxun on the seat.

Li Tianxun's expression was indifferent, lost in thought.

Whether it was Lin Huan or Fu Shanchuan, both were existences with high prestige in the Heaven Alliance, second only to Li Tianxun, and could be considered Li Tianxun's right-hand men. However, the two had always been at odds. Lin Huan was straightforward and acted directly, but in reality, he had a deep city.

Fu Shanchuan looked elegant, like someone with knowledge, but was better at scheming, smiling with a knife hidden. It could be said that Fu Shanchuan was a person with great wisdom, while Lin Huan was just playing around, but being able to climb to this position today also proved that his playing around wasn't simple.

Li Tianxun valued the abilities of these two people. Even if he was at the mid-stage of the Earth Immortal Realm and powerful, it was impossible for him to have the energy to operate this Heaven Alliance of his at all times. But with the help of Fu Shanchuan and Lin Huan, he had more time to cultivate, and the number of Vitality Rice collected every year was far greater than what he could get by going out to sweep the Vitality Ant nests himself.

Therefore, over time, before making a decision, Li Tianxun was accustomed to throwing out an incentive to let the two express their opinions. On one hand, it was convenient for him to weigh and choose, and on the other hand, it could cause the two to quarrel, deepening their contradictions, so that they would work even harder for him, make even more achievements, and show their own value.

"Fu Shanchuan, what do you think should be done?"

At this time, Li Tianxun looked at Fu Shanchuan and asked indifferently.

Fu Shanchuan bowed respectfully and said: "Reporting to the Alliance Leader, according to this subordinate's view, Xu Que's style is so radical, he must be a flamboyant person, lawless, and his foundation is powerful. If we clash head-on with him, it will only result in both sides suffering. The Sword Pavilion is a good example!"

"Fart, can the Sword Pavilion compare with our Heaven Alliance?" Lin Huan shouted immediately.

Fu Shanchuan smiled: "Before Xu Que made a move to kill the Sword Pavilion's Young Pavilion Master, everyone also thought Xu Que couldn't be compared with the Sword Pavilion!"

"That was ultimately because the Sword Pavilion's strength was too weak, plus that Liu Hualong was too arrogant, which gave that brat the opportunity to behead him. If I had made a move…" Lin Huan said this, suddenly paused, and didn't continue.

"Looks like Fellow Daoist Lin also doesn't want to clash head-on with that Xu Que!" Fu Shanchuan laughed.

Cold light flashed in Lin Huan's eyes, and he sneered: "With my status, that Xu Que isn't qualified for me to make a move. However, I see that Fellow Daoist Fu seems very interested in that ant. Then why don't you say, what high opinion do you have?"

"High opinion is not worth mentioning, just a small suggestion!" Fu Shanchuan smiled, looked at Li Tianxun, and said respectfully: "Alliance Leader, according to the description of the information from others, there is also a woman named Lan Xinyue beside Xu Que. This woman has been in this Lost Land for several years and seems to have a shallow relationship with several young people in the half-immortal realm. We can start from here and borrow a knife to kill!"

"Oh? Borrow a knife to kill?" Li Tianxun heard this point, sat up straight, and became interested and curious.

"Not bad, we can recruit those young people to join the Heaven Alliance, and then send them to the western suburb to dig for Vitality Rice, leading them to the Queen Ant's nest. Xu Que will definitely make a move, right? As long as Xu Que goes over, the entire plan can return to the right track!" Fu Shanchuan said in a deep voice.

"The Queen Ant's nest? Fu Shanchuan, are you crazy? We have been preparing that plan for so many years, do you want to beat the grass and startle the snake?" Lin Huan's expression changed instantly, and he scolded.

Li Tianxun suddenly raised his hand, stopping Lin Huan, and looked at Fu Shanchuan with deep meaning, smiling indifferently: "Continue."

Fu Shanchuan raised the corner of his mouth: "Fellow Daoist Lin is right, we have been preparing that plan for so many years, but this time it's not beating the grass and startling the snake, but it's time to harvest!"

Saying this, Fu Shanchuan changed to voice transmission, his lips moving, but everyone present couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

Only Li Tianxun's eyes became brighter and brighter, finally slapping the armrest of the chair, laughing loudly: "Good, what a method of killing two birds with one stone. Fu Shanchuan, this matter will be fully entrusted to you to be responsible! Remember, this matter must be foolproof!"

"Alliance Leader, rest assured, Shanchuan will definitely do his best!" Fu Shanchuan responded with a full face of smiles, bowing.

Only Lin Huan's whole face was black to the extreme, full of rage. He never expected that Fu Shanchuan would be so insidious, actually using the matter of dealing with Xu Que to take over that big plan in the western suburb!

"By the way, as you said, the key to this matter is still that Xu Que. How can you guarantee that he will go to the western suburb?" At this time, Li Tianxun looked at Fu Shanchuan and asked.

Fu Shanchuan smiled indifferently: "Heroes have a hard time passing the beauty pass. Lan Xinyue is Xu Que's biggest weakness. As far as I know, when Lan Xinyue first arrived here, she once received help from a person, and later developed admiration for him. It just so happens that that person is now under my command!"

……

Meanwhile, at the Sword Pavilion.

The night was deep, and Xu Que had also thoroughly recovered from his injuries.

He could clearly feel that after every heavy injury, his physical body became much stronger, which might have a not-small relationship with the Pluto Saint Body.

But this kind of body tempering method, Xu Que felt it was too perverted, and if there was nothing to do, he wouldn't be willing to try it.

But after this day, with Liu Hualong's death, the Sword Pavilion could be considered completely finished, leaving only a dying Zhang Yun'er, who had also stopped breathing a few breaths ago.

It wasn't Xu Que's hand, but Lan Hetu rushed up and slashed her to death with a sword.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Lan Hetu, did this woman have some deep hatred with you?" Xu Que couldn't help but ask.

Lan Hetu was full of annoyance and said in a deep voice: "This woman is very damnable, she once harmed a friend of mine, and even harmed Big Brother Wu, otherwise my sister would have long ago… uh, nothing, brother-in-law, let's hurry up and leave, this place is too hot!"

"Don't, damn, you only say half of what you say, clearly you want to hang my appetite!" Xu Que immediately glared.

Lan Hetu instantly felt bitter, carefully looking at Lan Xinyue.

Lan Xinyue frowned slightly and shook her head: "There's no need to mention the past. Now we can be considered to have repaid the kindness Big Brother Wu had for us back then, avenging him. This matter still needs to thank Fellow Daoist Xu!"

"That's nothing, but who is the Big Brother Wu you mentioned?" Xu Que didn't have any eyesight, directly pursuing the question.

After Lan Xinyue was silent for a moment, she shook her head: "He was a good person, but he died a year ago!"

"Oh!"

Xu Que responded directly and didn't ask anymore.

Who cares what kind of person he was, anyway he was already dead!

The key was that after he died, he was still given a good person card. Tsk tsk tsk, how pitiful!

At this time, Lan Xinyue suddenly looked at Xu Que and said: "Fellow Daoist Xu, thank you, you are also a good person!"

Xu Que: "？？？"
