Chapter 1801: Chapter 1801: Schemes within Schemes, Plans within Plans

Xu Yeming certainly wouldn’t believe that these five Buddhist cultivators from the Chaos Realm would give up the perfect opportunity to render two of the top faction’s direct lineage incapacitated.

After all, if only Xuanyuan Zixi were eliminated, these strengthless factions still wouldn’t stand to gain much advantage.

But if the Xu Family and Xuanyuan Clan were both eliminated, then the remaining Seven Treasures Saint Sect could be dealt with by their alliance.

Xu Yeming was waiting for precisely this moment.

And he’d always been on guard against these five’s ambush.

At this moment, Xu Yeming decided there was no longer any need to conceal his identity. In his left hand he grasped the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and in his right hand he held the painting brush.

His brush began swiftly sketching on the pages of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Slowly, the Qilin phenomenon began to take shape.

"The mountains and seas bear witness, West Sea Qilin Mountain! I request the presence of the Auspicious Beast Qilin to descend upon the world, to trample these spectral devils!"

A deafening roar reverberated, as if threatening to shatter space itself!

But it wasn’t over yet.

Xu Yeming quickly turned the pages of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, continuing to sketch and embellish!

His hand moved so fast it created afterimages.

"The mountains and seas bear witness, Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens from Mount Danxue! I call upon the Divine Phoenix to descend upon the world and scorch the heavens!"

Chirp!

A piercing phoenix cry erupted from within the Classic of Mountains and Seas!

Alongside its cry, a surge of divine phoenix flames erupted skyward like a volcanic explosion!

A pair of colossal phoenix wings enveloped the dome of the grand hall, casting shadows that blotted out the sky and sun.

The entire hall was reduced to an inferno, its surrounding space disintegrating and melting away!

Divine Phoenix, Qilin.

The five cultivators’ faces twisted into terror, yet their attacks had already fallen onto the phoenix and qilin’s bodies.

But their attacks were effortlessly neutralized by the Divine Phoenix and Qilin.

At this moment.

Behind the five cultivators, there appeared an overwhelming surge of sword intent, alongside the Treasure Seal and a frenzied torrent of star power!

The five turned back, panic-stricken.

Unbeknownst to them, Xuanyuan Zixi, Huang Xin, and Han Daoxuan were already standing right behind them!

Seeing this, the five instantly understood that they’d been tricked.

Eliminating Xuanyuan Zixi had been a ruse.

The real plan was to lure them into attacking Xu Yeming, to drop their guard, so that Xuanyuan Zixi and the others could ambush them and wipe them out entirely!

The five attempted to retreat simultaneously, but their earlier full-force attack had left them temporarily drained, forcing them to evade directly.

Yet, as they retreated, they were suddenly struck by a searing heat capable of consuming all!

Caught between wolves ahead and phoenix and qilin behind!

Escape was utterly impossible.

Under the divine phoenix flames, Qilin’s stomps, and Xuanyuan Zixi, Huang Xin, and Han Daoxuan’s pincer assault,

The five cultivators didn’t even have a chance to activate their trump cards for counterattack!

Not even their defensive barriers could withstand; they shattered instantly.

They couldn’t even flee the ruins, ultimately crushed into dust by the five combined onslaughts!

Now.

Aside from the Xu Family, Xuanyuan Clan, Seven Treasures Saint Sect, and Star Palace, no one else remained in these ruins.

Xuanyuan Zixi turned to Xu Yeming, laughing aloud: "It seems that the alliance between our Xuanyuan Clan and the Xu Family was a wise decision. To respond so swiftly and eliminate them so early—it appears, Xu Luo, your mind is not nearly as reckless as rumors claimed...

Though, I suppose I should call you Xu Yeming, shouldn’t I?"

Xu Chen stared at "Xu Luo," his brows furrowed. He had long suspected that Xu Yeming had killed Xu Luo and taken his place.

Now, seeing him wield the Classic of Mountains and Seas, his suspicions were finally confirmed.

However, recalling what Xu Yeming had told him earlier, Xu Chen refrained from acting rashly.

He was curious to see what Xu Yeming might reveal, something that could convince him to willingly conceal the truth about his identity.

Xu Yeming had ceased hiding.

There was no longer any need to pretend.

After restoring his natural aura and removing his mask, Xu Yeming turned to Xuanyuan Zixi with a faint, mocking smile: "It seems the Xuanyuan Clan holds no shortage of intelligence on me as well."

The news of Xu Yeming, Beast Tamer, and possessor of the Classic of Mountains and Seas had long ceased to be an insider secret.

Xuanyuan Zixi laughed lightly, tending to his wounds as he spoke: "No matter who you are, in a situation like this, it hardly matters. How about this?

Join forces with me, help me obtain the Sun and Moon Token, and I’ll help you eliminate everyone else here. Once we’re out, I’ll also help keep your identity hidden. How does that sound?"

Seeing Xu Yeming remain silent.

Xuanyuan Zixi frowned slightly but continued with a shrug and a grin: "This offer has to be advantageous to you. You’ve hidden your identity to bring down the Xu Family. Staying hidden aligns perfectly with your goals, doesn’t it?"

Xu Yeming laughed aloud at this moment: "With your current injuries? Join forces with me?"

The earlier assault had made its mark.

Not only had Xuanyuan Zixi suffered serious wounds, but the attack had drained him considerably.

"What do you mean?" Xuanyuan Zixi asked, his brows furrowing.

Xu Yeming turned his gaze towards Huang Xin and Han Daoxuan, and smiled: "What about you two—ready to make your move?"

Both Huang Xin and Han Daoxuan smirked coldly, nodding. Their auras flared and swirled around them fiercely as they positioned themselves to Xuanyuan Zixi’s left and right.

Witnessing this.

Xuanyuan Zixi’s expression soured dramatically. He stared at Xu Yeming, resentment apparent as he hissed: "When did you get involved with Seven Treasures Saint Sect or Star Palace?"

"That’s none of your concern," Xu Yeming replied. "If you hadn’t had your realm suppressed, I might still hold some caution. But given that we’re all in the Divine Realm now, and you’re injured, wouldn’t it make sense to deal with you first?"

"However..."

Xuanyuan Zixi was about to curse aloud, but then, hearing Xu Yeming utter "However," he restrained his anger and asked evenly: "However what?"

"However, if you’re willing to tell me who’s behind you and your plans, then perhaps I might spare your life," Xu Yeming replied with a smile.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Zixi found Xu Yeming’s harmless smile more chilling than anything, as a frigid shiver climbed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!

Xuanyuan Zixi’s face tightened with confusion. "Someone behind me? Surely you mean the Xuanyuan Clan itself?"

Xu Yeming cut in coldly: "If I’m asking, it means I have reason to believe otherwise. Don’t take me for an idiot just because I haven’t treated you like one."

Upon hearing this.

Xuanyuan Zixi fell silent, his face gradually twisting into a grimace. When his gaze locked onto Xu Yeming, traces of murderous intent flickered vividly in his eyes!

"I don’t know how you’ve uncovered this, but... now that you know, there’s no escaping your demise," Xuanyuan Zixi growled as his energy suddenly erupted.

A familiar wave of Nine Yin Cold Qi surged from his body!

Soon, strands of this cold Qi intertwined across Xuanyuan Zixi, forming densely packed ice-blue patterns that wrapped tightly like a web!

Xu Yeming sighed, bringing his brush to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, sketching steadily as he muttered: "If only you had cooperated and saved yourself the pain. Why resist unnecessarily?"
