[MSBISS] Chapter 75
"Yeah?"
Xuan Yunxin glanced at the people around Xia Yu.
Except for Lu Chen, who was a man, the other three were all girls.
And they were all young girls.
Although there was no way to assess the strength of others for the time being, Xuan Yunxin did not believe that Bian Rourou, Fang Xiao, and Xiao Ye were at the Golden Elixir stage.
As for Lu Chen, she didn't think such a villain could be that strong.
On her side, in addition to her strength being similar to Xia Yu's, there was also Xin Zhi, whose strength was at the fourth level of the Golden Elixir stage.
Coupled with more than ten fellow juniors, Xuan Yunxin really couldn't figure out how her side could lose.
Xin Zhi said to Xuan Yunxin, "Sister, it's better to strike first."
He made a downward gesture, suggesting they take action first.
Xuan Yunxin shook her head and said, "There's no rush."
"This is Qizhou, not our Yanzhou."
"Xia Yu is a disciple of Shuangyue Valley, and the people around her should also be disciples of Shuangyue Valley."
"Killing them will not do us any good. If we are pressed, we will suffer heavy casualties."
"When the Heart of the Secret Realm appears and we obtain it, we will retreat."
Xuan Yunxin was unwilling to start killing.
This was a place where people would kill disciples of Shuangyue Valley, one of the three sects.
If Shuangyue Valley were to retaliate, the disciples of the Dianxing Sect couldn't bear it.
Xin Zhi felt a little unwilling. He stared at Lu Chen, who was strolling in the distance, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
For some reason, he was disgusted by Lu Chen and felt an urge to get rid of him quickly.
In addition, there was currently no response from his brother. Before their meeting, Xin Zhi had considered Xuan Yunxin.
"Senior Sister, I suspect that my brother and the others had an accident."
Xuan Yunxin replied with certainty, "No need to doubt; they must have had an accident."
Xin Zhi's expression suddenly changed. "This... How is this possible?"
But Xin Zhi knew how powerful his senior sister was, and what she said was usually accurate.
It was difficult for Xin Zhi to accept such a result, especially since it involved his younger brother.
He said, "Xin An brought twelve senior brothers. Although they are all in the foundation-building stage, their strength cannot be ignored. How could something happen?"
"Could it be related to him?" he added, glaring at Lu Chen. "Is he causing trouble?"
When he saw Lu Chen, his displeasure only grew.
After coming out, Lu Chen had managed to steal so much limelight.
He was following a beauty like Xia Yu, and Xia Yu even took action to protect him.
It didn't feel good, no matter how he looked at it.
More importantly, Lu Chen had been disrespectful to his goddess, Xuan Yunxin, just moments ago.
Adding all this up, Xin Zhi now wanted to kill Lu Chen.
Xuan Yunxin murmured to herself, "If my guess is correct, he should have made a sneak attack."
"While Junior Brother Xin An is fighting the Fire Lord, he must have interfered."
"The strength of the Gold Lord and the Earth Lord we encountered is at the Golden Elixir stage."
"I believe the Fire Lord is not far behind, and with a more violent fire attribute, he may be stronger."
"Junior Brother Xin An and the others are only at the late stage of the foundation-building period when they are at their strongest. With a little interference, it's normal that they would lose to the Fire Lord."
Xuan Yunxin's tone was calm, showing no emotional turmoil for the disciple of the Dianxing Sect that had met with an accident.
Upon hearing this, Xin Zhi's eyes went red as a strong murderous intent surged within him.
He stared at Lu Chen. "I must kill him."
Xuan Yunxin looked at Lu Chen, who was wandering in the distance like an ordinary citizen with nothing to do, and her eyes filled with contempt.
Those who took advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack were merely villains; they could not be considered real competitors.
Lu Chen did not seem to possess the temperament of a master.
She said, "Be patient for now. Once we leave here and part ways with Xia Yu, it won't be too late to take action against him."
"We shouldn't provoke Xia Yu, but there's nothing to worry about regarding him."
"When the fight breaks out later, just send someone to keep an eye on him."
Although she felt that Lu Chen was not an expert, Xuan Yunxin didn't foresee any surprises by sending people to keep an eye on him.
Xin Zhi gritted his teeth and nodded. "I'll follow your lead, Senior Sister."
"Humph," Xin Zhi glared at Lu Chen and said fiercely, "I'll let you live a little longer for now."
Xuan Yunxin instructed Xin Zhi, "After the Heart of the Secret Realm appears, I will deal with Xia Yu, and you handle the others."
"You don't need to kill any of them; you just need to create danger and distract Xia Yu."
Xin Zhi nodded but then replied dismissively, "Even without distracting Xia Yu, Senior Sister can defeat her easily."
Xuan Yunxin corrected him, "Don't underestimate her. She is on par with me, so I must not be careless."
Xin Zhi flattered her smoothly, "Xia Yu stands no chance against you with such a scheme devised by Senior Sister."
Xuan Yunxin hoped to avoid direct conflict with Xia Yu.
Xia Yu was cautious about the large number on the other side, so it was best not to engage in a fight.
The two sides faced off several miles apart.
After pacifying the five elemental areas, the center of the secret realm would be revealed.
The Heart of the Secret Realm was about to emerge, but it would take some time.
Thus, for now, the two sides did not engage in combat; everyone was simply waiting.
Bian Rourou seemed very nervous about the current situation.
The other side had a large number of people, so if they fought, it would undoubtedly put them at a disadvantage.
Xia Yu was the only one they considered a master.
As for Lu Chen, Bian Rourou never included him in that list.
In her opinion, Lu Chen was not as reliable as Xiao Ye.
Even though Fang Xiao guaranteed it, Xia Yu believed that Lu Chen was capable.
However, Bian Rourou didn't share that belief.
She looked at the dozen or so people on the other side, and just the numbers alone created considerable pressure.
Bian Rourou nervously asked Xia Yu, "Senior Sister, are we really just going to wait?"
Xia Yu replied, "There's no need to rush. The Heart of the Secret Realm has not yet emerged, so there's no point in hurrying."
Bian Rourou said, "Sister, I'm not worried about that."
"Senior Sister, I'm not concerned about the Heart of the Secret Realm, but about the people from the Dianxing Sect."
"There are so many of them, and fighting would be very detrimental to us."
Xia Yu glanced at Lu Chen. He had been pacing and strolling in the large open space, appearing quite leisurely.
Xia Yu said to Lu Chen, "Junior Brother Lu, it's up to you when the time comes."
Lu Chen waved his hand without looking up, "Sister Xia Yu, don't be like this; I'm under a lot of pressure."
"That woman on the other side is at the eighth level of the Golden Elixir stage. Besides you, who else can face her here?"
Xia Yu said, "I will deal with her, and the rest will depend on you, Junior Brother Lu."
Xia Yu pinned her hopes on Lu Chen.
Lu Chen raised his head, pointed at Bian Rourou, and said, "Senior Sister Xia Yu, you might as well place your hopes on her."
Bian Rourou retorted, "Humph, I knew you were unreliable."
"Sister, don't worry; I will do my best. You don't have to rely on him."
Bian Rourou was quite dissatisfied with Lu Chen.
What time was it now? You're so nervous, yet you still have the mind to take a walk. Who does he think he is?
Time gradually passed, and suddenly, the five light pillars shook, and a powerful shockwave spread outward.
Like a strong wind, the trees bent under the pressure.
Then the five light beams began to rotate.
