Death Grip
“Junior Brother Xing Chen, it seems like Senior Sister Xueqing has been gone for a long time! Why hasn’t she come back yet?” In the room, the cute Xue pouted.
“She might be discussing matters regarding entering the Lianyao Tower,” Xing Chen said lightly, his mood having mostly settled down by now.
The incident with Meng Xiner had greatly shaken him, but he had become even more indifferent than before, as if he no longer cared about anything.
Only when he looked at Meng Xiner did his gaze slightly change.
“Hey, Junior Brother Xing Chen, look quickly, Senior Sister Xueqing is back, and it seems like the Senior Brother has returned with her too.” At that moment, Xue suddenly said from by the window.
Xing Chen followed Xue’s voice and looked outside, and indeed saw Xueqing and a man flying towards them; that man was naturally Senior Brother Mo Feiyu.
Soon, the two landed outside the house, and Mo Feiyu immediately cast his gaze on Xing Chen.
“Senior Brother, Junior Brother, I’m not in a good mood right now, so you’d better not provoke him!” Xueqing reminded from the side.
“Junior Sister, it seems you’ve really become his person; you’re thinking of him everywhere. Have you ever thought about your poor Senior Brother?” Mo Feiyu felt a surge of tears at that moment.
“Of course I’ve thought about you, Senior Brother. Since I see that Xue is already out of the picture, how about I marry her off to you?” Xueqing said with a giggle while covering her mouth.
“Junior Sister, don’t tease me. If I really did something to that girl Xue, your Second Senior Brother would definitely come after me,” Mo Feiyu’s expression grew increasingly bitter.
Everyone in the Wind Mountain Range knew that Xue was the one Second Senior Brother Ouyang Zhenhai liked. Anyone who dared to have designs on her would probably find Ouyang Zhenhai coming after them fiercely.
“Well then, Senior Brother, you can’t blame me for this. I introduced Sister Xue to you, but you didn’t dare to take her,” Xueqing said with a smile.
“Alright then, Junior Sister, I can see now that you’re genuinely trying to have fun at my expense!” Mo Feiyu shook his head with a wry smile. By this time, they had already entered the room.
“Junior Brother Xing Chen, are you alright?” Xueqing asked as she entered and saw Xing Chen still sitting by Meng Xiner's bed.
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister. I'm fine now," Xing Chen said with a smile. However, despite the smile on his face, his eyes were indifferent, showing no trace of warmth.
"So that's the junior brother of Xueqing Junior Sister?" Mo Feiyu suddenly turned to Xing Chen and asked.
"That's right. I wonder if the Senior Brother has any advice?" Xing Chen nodded and looked at Mo Feiyu with indifference.
"I really don't understand why Junior Sister likes you. Can you tell me the reason?" Mo Feiyu asked, not hiding his intentions at all.
However, his straightforward approach made Xing Chen find him much more likable.
"You can just ask Xueqing Senior Sister directly; I don't know the specific reason either," Xing Chen replied lightly.
"Then forget it. But Junior Brother, since you took my Junior Sister right when you arrived, you must compensate me with a wife," Mo Feiyu said with a wry smile.
"Senior Brother, are you joking with me? That's not funny at all," Xing Chen glanced at Mo Feiyu and said.
"Alright, alright, let's drop that. Let's talk about the matter of Lianyao Tower!" At this moment, Xueqing quickly interjected.
"Okay, we'll listen to Junior Sister," Mo Feiyu nodded and then said, "According to Junior Sister's method, that injured Demon Emperor Level Beast is incredibly powerful. Even if we combine our strengths now, we wouldn't stand a chance against that beast. Plus, we have to be wary of ambushes from the Youfeng Clan at all times. Therefore, we need to find enough help."
"What Senior Brother said is correct. However, in our Wind Sect, only the two of us have reached the Gaze of Fate level. If Second Senior Brother can break through, that would make three of us. Relying on this little strength to deal with that beast and the people from the Demon Dragon Mountain Range is indeed quite difficult," Xueqing said with a frown.
With their Wind Sect's strength, they could handle either the Demon Emperor Level Beast or the people from the Demon Dragon Mountain Range alone, but facing both together was beyond their capabilities.
"What does Junior Brother think?" Mo Feiyu slowly asked as he looked at Xing Chen.
"I only want to point out one thing: don't underestimate this situation. According to Xueqing Senior Sister, that Demon Emperor Level beast should be on the seventh floor of Lianyao Tower. Once we start fighting, it will definitely attract many powerful individuals from the seventh floor of Lianyao Tower. At that time, no one knows what kind of situation we will face," Xing Chen pondered for a moment before saying.
"What Junior Brother pointed out is indeed something I hadn't considered," Mo Feiyu nodded, and his gaze toward Xing Chen changed slightly.
When he first saw Xing Chen, he thought he was just a weak cultivator who was lucky enough to catch Xueqing Junior Sister's eye. He didn't expect that his insight was quite good and that Xueqing Junior Sister also recognized that Xing Chen's combat power was formidable enough to contend with an Observer of the Realm.
However, how could he believe such words without seeing them with his own eyes? Therefore, at first, he did not pay much attention to Xing Chen, but now it was different. With his insight, he was definitely worth taking seriously.
"This matter is indeed troublesome. If things go wrong, we might end up doing someone else's bidding," Xueqing said as she gently bit her lip.
"If that's the case, it would be better to spread this news widely and let everyone deal with this Demon Emperor Level Beast together. Although it might be hard to take the biggest share, it’s still better than doing someone else's bidding." At this moment, Xue suddenly spoke up.
She had been listening quietly for a long time, and now that she finally spoke, both Xueqing and Mo Feiyu were taken aback.
Xue's words were not wrong; they did not have absolute confidence in defeating the Demon Emperor Level Beast alone. Even if it was severely injured, they still faced a high chance of ending up doing someone else's bidding. In this situation, it was indeed better to follow Xue's suggestion and spread the news widely. Even if they couldn't take the biggest share, they would at least get a piece of the pie, which was certainly better than getting nothing at all!
"Xue's idea is good; I think we should do it this way," Xueqing nodded in agreement with Xue's suggestion.
"I also think it's feasible. After all, our strength is really not enough to deal with the Demon Emperor Level Beast," Xing Chen also nodded in agreement.
"Since both of you agree, then I agree as well," Mo Feiyu said with a wry smile.
"Hehe, Snow Sister, am I clever? The problem you were worried about was solved by me in an instant," Xue said with a grin as she took credit.
"Yes, Xue is the smartest," Xueqing said with a smile and a shake of her head.
"There's one more thing we need to discuss: what about Second Junior Brother? We still don't know when he will come out of seclusion. It would be best if we could wait until he comes out before we act; otherwise, our strength will be significantly reduced and we will definitely be at a disadvantage when competing with others," Mo Feiyu suddenly spoke up.
Ouyang Zhenhai and Mo Feiyu had both entered seclusion at the same time. However, since Mo Feiyu had already come out, Ouyang Zhenhai's emergence should not be far off.
"We definitely need to wait for him. Moreover, we should prepare in advance. The first disciple of Demon Dragon Mountain Range, Demon Dragon, is very powerful. If I hadn't broken through my realm, I would have surely died at his hands. So if we encounter him, Senior Brother must be extra cautious!" Xueqing reminded Mo Feiyu.
"Rest assured; I will be careful," Mo Feiyu nodded in response.
"Senior Brother, the biggest threat in Lianyao Tower isn't Demon Dragon but rather the numerous beasts on the seventh floor. After all, most of the beasts in Lianyao Tower are from Gaze into Fate; only a small portion are from Gaze of Fate. There should only be one Demon Emperor Level beast among them. However, even just these beasts can pose a serious threat if we encounter them in groups," Xing Chen said after a moment of silence.
"Indeed, the beasts on the seventh floor of Lianyao Tower are too powerful. Once surrounded by a pack of beasts, even strong individuals from Gaze of Fate could very well perish," Mo Feiyu said solemnly as he nodded.
"To avoid these demon beasts, we will have to rely on you, Junior Brother. After all, your Earth Escape Technique is so miraculous. As long as you can lead us directly through the dangerous areas of the Seven-Layer Demon Refining Tower, the other places won't be that dangerous," Xueqing said with a light laugh.
"This is naturally no problem," Xing Chen nodded in agreement.
"Great! Since that's settled, let's each go back and prepare our own matters!" Mo Feiyu said as he stood up.
But at that moment, a powerful aura suddenly enveloped the entire Wind Mountain Range. This force was very similar to the power that Mo Feiyu had emitted when he broke through earlier; it seemed that Second Junior Brother Ouyang Zhenhai had emerged from his seclusion.
"Is it Second Junior Brother who has come out?" A hint of joy appeared on Mo Feiyu's face. At this time, they were in need of manpower, and Ouyang Zhenhai's emergence was just what they needed.
"That's right, it's the aura of Second Junior Brother, and it's incredibly strong. It seems to be no weaker than Big Senior Brother!" Xueqing said after sensing it slightly.
"Hehe, my junior brother's strength has never been weaker than mine. Now that we have both been in seclusion together, and we've both accumulated our strength, our cultivation levels naturally won't differ too much," Mo Feiyu laughed.
"It's really a timely emergence! Hate Emperor, do you sense what level of cultivation he has?" Xing Chen asked quietly.
"He's also at the Late Stage of the Fate Observation Realm, just as monstrous as Mo Feiyu," Hate Emperor replied resentfully.
