"Hahaha! I wondered who it was, turns out it’s Senior Nalan. Long ti no see, Senior Nalan, you’ve beco even younger!"
A burst of laughter ca first before the person themselves appeared. Following the sound, Nalan Xuan looked over with disdain and said, "Cao Heng, won’t you cry until you see the coffin? Does soone need to invite you specifically before you show up?"
"Senior Nalan, you’ve misunderstood . Lately, thieves have been causing a lot of trouble, and I’ve been overwheld with dealing with it. If I’ve neglected you, Senior Nalan, please don’t take it to heart."
"Overwheld? Humph, you’re really good at patting yourself on the back. The thieves are nearly exterminated, and now you’re coming out to take the glory with the least effort for the most fa. Don’t tell this wasn’t your idea. Do you think I don’t know who you really are?"
"Senior Nalan, you’ve really wronged ."
"Enough with the nonsense, I was once a high-ranking mber of the Martial Alliance too. Aren’t you going to invite in for a seat?"
Hearing this, Cao Heng suddenly realized and stepped aside, saying respectfully, "This way, Senior Nalan!"
"Instruct your subordinates not to act stupidly. Know whom they can offend and whom they cannot. Trying to attack is a huge joke."
"I will definitely scold them later, as you advised, Senior."
Respectfully inviting Nalan Xuan into the courtyard, Cao Heng squinted slightly, a flash of coldness in his eyes.
In fact, he had long anticipated that Nalan Xuan would co, but he hadn’t expected such a hard stance. Even as the Alliance Hierarch, Nalan Xuan completely disregarded his face, leaving him embarrassed in front of so many people.
"Alliance Hierarch, should we invite the other few hall leaders to deal with Nalan Xuan..."
Jing Ziang spoke, gesturing across his throat. Seeing this, Cao Heng slapped him across the face and cursed: "Are you crazy! Dare to make a move against her? Do you even know what’s her relationship with Lu Chuan? That Lu Chuan is a madman! What good could co from provoking him? Fool, get out of my sight!"
Jing Ziang felt a burning pain on his face and hurriedly lowered his eyebrows, leaving respectfully.
"A bunch of useless people!"
Cao Heng gave a fierce glance at the crowd before retracting his gaze, taking a deep breath, and adjusting his breathing before re-entering the courtyard with a laugh.
"Senior, please calm down. I know you have many grievances against the Martial Alliance, however, I am helpless too."
"So helpless, Cao Heng, oh Cao Heng, when you were roping in others to seize power in the old days, why didn’t you say you were helpless? Don’t waste my ti with excuses; I’m not interested. I’ve co today for two things. If they’re resolved, I’ll leave imdiately.
If not... think carefully about the consequences yourself."
"May I ask what matters, Senior?"
Cao Heng approached, pouring a cup of tea for Nalan Xuan, and continued: "As long as it’s sothing I can manage, I will do my utmost."
"Don’t make promises you can’t keep, Cao Heng. Do you think I’m unaware of who you are? If I said I want to return to the Martial Alliance and replace your position, would you agree?"
Upon hearing this, the smile gradually froze on Cao Heng’s face, his expression turning grim as he said in a low voice: "Senior, at this critical juncture, changing the general before the battle is inappropriate, isn’t it? Besides, my position as Alliance Hierarch was chosen by everyone. If a single word from you forces to step down, wouldn’t the Martial Alliance beco a joke?"
"The Martial Alliance is already a joke! I’m telling you, Cao Heng, either you step down and let have your position, and I will convince those who have withdrawn to rejoin, and I’ll take charge. Or you keep the position but beco a puppet leader, enjoying the glory and riches while leaving the decision-making to . Choose one of these outcos."
"Senior, is there absolutely no room for compromise?"
"There is absolutely no room for compromise."
Nalan Xuan looked up, eting Cao Heng’s gaze, both of their eyes simultaneously filled with killing intent.
No way around it, Nalan Xuan’s actions were equivalent to grabbing Cao Heng by the collar and slapping him several tis. Regardless, he was still the Alliance Hierarch of the Martial Alliance. Even a clay statue has a bit of fire, let alone soone like Cao Heng, who wasn’t soft-hearted to begin with.
"I will never relinquish the power, nor will I give up the position of Alliance Hierarch. Senior, if you wish to replace , you’re welco to kill ! If I don’t die, no one will sit on this position righteously!"
"Do you think I dare not? coming here today proves that I’m ready to make a big scene! Ying Nu, you can co out now."
"In my view, we should just kill him. Talking to such a person is a waste of breath."
The tip of the spear scraped across the ground, making a sizzling sound. Cao Heng turned and t Li Yingnu’s eyes.
"And who are you?"
"Who I am doesn’t matter. What’s important is your choice, because..."
Li Yingnu casually waved her hand, and the Yingming Red Tassel Spear violently pierced into the bluestone brick, cracks spreading like a spider web.
"This concerns whether you can walk out of here alive today!"
...
In the Exotic Realm Space!
Mr. Lu suddenly opened his eyes, a cold gleam flashing in them.
"You again."
"Long ti no see, my old friend. How does it feel to see ?"
A gap was slowly forced open in the door not far away, and a figure walked out.
"Not much, seeing your face just irritates . What do you want? Are you still not giving up?"
Mr. Lu stood up, casually unleashing a burst of Spiritual Power, closing the portal again. The three Jade Pendants of Heaven, Earth, and Man flew out and embedded themselves into the portal, causing the Array to finally start operating again.
"Why so cold? In these three hundred years, I’ve never stopped thinking about you, wanting to disembowel you and tear you to pieces!"
"Hahahaha! After all these years, besides my precious grandson, you’re the one who brings the most joy to this old man. How have the injuries from back then healed?"
"Thanks to you, not only have they healed, but I’ve also broken through my shackles. I’m eager to fight you!"
The man curled his lips, eyes full of battle intent, word by word: "At this mont, the infiltrators on Earth have begun their actions. This will be a disaster affecting the entire Cathay! I wonder if your precious grandson can protect the world you sacrificed so much to defend?
Old Lu, oh Old Lu, why do you insist on holding on? If you just step back and let open the gates, I assure you the Lu family will enjoy endless prosperity in the future! Is this gate so important to you?"
