Chapter 1380: Perfect Just Like This

"Wouldn't it be fine if I framed Chen Yu for killing you? My master will come down from the mountain and eliminate this great enemy of my life for me; wouldn't that be perfect?"

With a thud, Li Qing fell heavily to the ground. Even in death, her eyes remained wide open; she truly died with a grievance.

As he put away his sword and prepared to deal with Li Qing, a laugh came from behind him: "Killing to silence a witness—is this what you self-proclaimed righteous sects are capable of?"

"Who are you?" Zhou Xianzong was startled; he did not know when an extra person had appeared in the room.

Moreover, he did not know when this person had arrived; from beginning to end, he had not discovered his presence.

"A stranger." The other party slowly raised his head, the mouth beneath the orange robe curving into an arc, revealing a hint of a smile.

"Who exactly are you?" Zhou Xianzong stared coldly at the other party, the sword in his hand already raised; he had already developed the intent to kill.

What he had done was certainly not something that could see the light of day. Fratricide was a great taboo within Yunlu Residence; even if he were the disciple most favored by the sect leader, it would be useless. He would suffer the greatest punishment of the sect.

"Hehe, who I am is not important; what is important is that what you did was seen by me, and I saw it clearly." The stranger smiled slightly.

"You saw it all? When did you come in?" Zhou Xianzong stared at the stranger.

"From the moment you and she began your conversation, I was actually already here." The stranger said: "Do not doubt it, your actions were seen by me clearly."

"What do you want?" Zhou Xianzong slowly gathered his Qi; the sword in his hand trembled slightly, emitting a sound that was almost inaudible.

He was gathering his strength, striving to kill this fellow in one blow.

"Young man, do not be impulsive. I can guarantee that before you make a move, I will kill you a step ahead of time." The stranger naturally knew what he wanted to do, and he said leisurely: "You are not my match."

Zhou Xianzong's eyelids twitched; it seemed his intentions were controlled clearly by the other party. If he used force, he feared it would truly not work. He gritted his teeth, his right hand flicked, and the long sword in his hand emitted a sharp whistle. He conjured several afterimages and attacked the stranger, person and sword together.

The sword in his hand was a Dharma Artifact, and its power was extremely strong. Moreover, after Zhou Xianzong's strength recovered, he was truly not weak. This sword strike of his, performed with all his might, could be said to be almost impossible to block for experts of the same level.

Suddenly, a Qi Wall appeared beside the stranger; his sword could not advance even an inch further beyond this Qi Wall.

The stranger sat on the spot, unhurriedly opened a bottle of wine, and poured himself a cup.

He raised his head, looked at Zhou Xianzong who was deadlocked on the spot, and smiled slightly: "Do not struggle anymore; your strength is far too inferior to mine."

A flash of brilliance appeared in his eyes, and with a hum, a powerful force rebounded. Zhou Xianzong retreated more than ten steps in a row, then sat down on the ground with a thud.

With a crack, the sword in his hand broke into several pieces and fell to the ground.

He stopped speaking; the strength of the person before him was so great that he could not resist at all.

He had struck with all his might, yet the other party had merely waved his hand in an understated manner, and he was finished. How could he fight this? How could he play this?

"The sword is broken, which means your enemy is too strong. So, your junior sister's death can be completely pushed onto Chen Yu. If you don't even suffer any injuries, that wouldn't make sense, would it?" The orange-robed man smiled slightly.

He waved his right hand, and a burst of Qi energy condensed and struck heavily on Zhou Xianzong's chest.

With a bang, Zhou Xianzong let out a muffled groan, a mouthful of blood sprayed out, and he retreated another few meters before kneeling on one knee on the ground.

"That's right, this looks like the aftermath of a fierce battle." The stranger stood up and smiled slightly.

"You want to help me?" Zhou Xianzong raised his head to look at the stranger, revealing an expression of suspicion and uncertainty.

"Otherwise? Killing you would be as easy as turning over one's hand. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have waited until now. Besides, I have no grudge against you." The stranger said with a chuckle.

"Why do you want to help me?" Zhou Xianzong looked at him, puzzled.

The Qi energy that had just struck his body looked very powerful, but in fact, it was not too heavy. After a few breaths, he had adjusted his body.

"Because we have a common goal; our enemy is Chen Yu." The stranger smiled.

"You have a grudge against Chen Yu?" Zhou Xianzong was startled.

"It is not a grudge, but rather we are born enemies. Do not ask for the specifics; it is too complicated to explain. Moreover, we have a common goal, and that is the Green Lotus Jade Bone." The stranger said.

"You are also here for the Green Lotus Jade Bone?" Zhou Xianzong looked at the stranger with caution.

"Yes, but you do not need to be so nervous." The stranger smiled slightly: "All I want is a little of the other party's blood and genes. When the person is obtained, she will belong to you."

"Can I trust you?" Zhou Xianzong's caution had clearly relaxed.

"You already trust me, don't you?" The stranger smiled and said: "We should have no problem cooperating."

"How to cooperate? Liu Ruxi has already awakened. Not to mention how her strength is, just Chen Yu alone is someone we cannot handle." Zhou Xianzong sighed.

"You have a sect Elder at Mingyang Shan, seventy kilometers away from Modu. As long as you go and find him, I think the problem should be solved, right? That Elder of yours is the junior brother of your Senior Brother sect leader."

The stranger said leisurely: "Asking him to come down from the mountain should not be a difficult task for you, right?"

"But... that martial uncle of mine has been in seclusion, contemplating the Dao of cultivation. He has not left seclusion for decades." Zhou Xianzong was stunned.

"That is also simple. You tell your master that Chen Yu killed your junior sister. For a sect as large as yours, having a sect disciple killed is something that cannot be tolerated, right?" The stranger smiled: "When your master comes forward to invite him, I do not believe he will not come down from the mountain."

"What you say seems to make sense." Zhou Xianzong had a look of sudden realization, then he asked puzzledly: "Why are you so clear about the affairs of my sect? Who exactly are you?"

"I am a person of the God Lord. It is not a difficult task to find out about your affairs, so do not doubt anything." The stranger said: "Just do as I say."

"Good." Zhou Xianzong nodded slightly, and he said through gritted teeth: "Chen Yu, this time I will definitely put you to death."

For the past few days in Modu, Chen Yu had accompanied Liu Ruxi to tour all over Modu. This day, in the most prosperous city center, looking at the river and the crowds, Liu Ruxi sighed slightly.

"What are you sighing about?" Chen Yu turned his head and asked.

"Sighing that I have been reborn into this world, yet the prosperity of this world remains the same." Liu Ruxi smiled, and she raised her head to look at Chen Yu: "Do you think Liu Lianxin is better, or is Liu Ruxi better?"
