Chapter 528: Chapter 526: Troublemakers Arrive

Zuo Guangchen looked at Xu Yang with suspicion, not understanding what he meant by these words.

Xu Yang said playfully, "Who is Chen Xuanji? The number one prodigy of the Star Nebula Infinite Sea. I am competing with him—since when does a woman need to step in for him?"

"If word gets out, where would Chen Xuanji put his face?"

"Or could it be, Chen Xuanji himself doesn’t dare, only knows how to hide behind a woman?"

Zuo Guangchen couldn’t help but hiss, secretly giving Xu Yang a thumbs up!

Awesome, bro!

Fang Xiyu’s pretty face changed slightly.

She hadn’t told Chen Xuanji she was coming here.

"You’re so clueless!"

"What Chen does or doesn’t do is not for you—a country bumpkin from Daqian—to judge!"

Boom!

Fang Xiyu erupted in anger.

Zuo Guangchen’s expression changed, about to make a move, but Xu Yang waved his hand to stop him.

He took a step forward, met Fang Xiyu’s gaze with a cold smile, and suddenly punched out.

Boom! 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

The charging Fang Xiyu was like a giant roc fiercely slamming into an indestructible majestic mountain.

With a muffled grunt, Fang Xiyu fell in utter disgrace.

Poof!

Her body trembled, she spat out blood, looking at Xu Yang in disbelief.

"True Monarch Perfection? You’re not even as good as Chen Xuanji, and you still want to step in for him?"

Xu Yang sneered, didn’t even glance at Fang Xiyu, and said to Zuo Guangchen, "Let’s go."

Zuo Guangchen secretly clicked his tongue in awe.

Mr. Xu’s strength was even greater now.

But thinking about the Secret Realm Tree, it made sense!

He hadn’t gone to that secret realm, but he’d also heard the news.

The opportunities in the Light Secret Realm were already astounding, not to mention getting the Secret Realm Tree.

No wonder even Chen Xuanji suffered a loss!

Right now, maybe even Chen Xuanji isn’t a match for Mr. Xu!

That only left Xiao Ming.

At this thought, Zuo Guangchen was genuinely excited!

Xiao Ming was too terrifying—he knew he wasn’t a match.

But if his ally could rival Xiao Ming, it was simply a gift from the heavens.

Watching Zuo Guangchen and Xu Yang step away into the air, Fang Xiyu’s pretty face went pale, her expression twisted, and she let out an utterly furious roar.

The young girl beside her looked at the agitated Fang Xiyu, hesitated, and whispered, "Senior Sister, I... I think he had a point!"

Pa!

Fang Xiyu spun around and slapped the girl directly, coldly saying, "What point?"

The girl’s cheek became swollen, her lips bloody, stunned by the slap.

Her whole body quaked, terror filling her eyes. She clenched her lips in fear, not daring to make a sound.

Fang Xiyu gazed at the Dongyang Xuanzong Mountain Gate, her eyes surging with hatred: "Junior Brother would never blame me."

"Senior Sister? Why are you here?"

A surprised voice suddenly sounded from above.

Fang Xiyu’s entire body trembled, her face promptly taking on a radiant, gentle smile. She looked up delighted and called out, "Junior Brother!"

A figure descended from the sky—it was Chen Xuanji.

Seeing his injured junior sister, Chen Xuanji immediately frowned.

"Junior Brother, you came here—?" Fang Xiyu feigned composure and gently asked, her eyes nearly brimming with affection for Chen Xuanji.

Chen Xuanji’s expression darkened, "Senior Sister, did you go look for Xu Yang?"

Fang Xiyu’s delicate body shuddered, she bit her lip and said, "I just wanted to stand up for you. He’s just a country bumpkin—why should he..."

"Shut up!"

Chen Xuanji roared in anger.

Fang Xiyu was startled—this was the first time Chen Xuanji had spoken to her this way.

Her eyes welled with tears as she complained, "Junior Brother, I didn’t mean anything by it. Why are you yelling at me?"

Chen Xuanji clenched his fists, took a deep breath, disregarded her complaints, and said coldly word by word: "Senior Sister, I, Chen Xuanji, do not need anyone to step in for me!"

"If you truly cared for me, you shouldn’t be here."

"If word gets out, how will all the strong in the Spirit Realm look at me? That I, Chen Xuanji, am a cripple, and after suffering a loss can only let my Senior Sister fight my battles?"

"I..." "Enough!"

Chen Xuanji cut Fang Xiyu off mercilessly, "I remember I specifically told you—don’t interfere in my affairs!"

"Junior Brother, you... " Fang Xiyu already had tears streaming down her face in grievance.

But Chen Xuanji was utterly unmoved, as if looking at a stranger.

That look sent Fang Xiyu into a panic.

"Junior Brother, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong."

"Forgive me, just this once, will you? I swear, from now on, I’ll never interfere again."

Fang Xiyu looked pleadingly at Chen Xuanji.

Chen Xuanji said coldly, "That’s enough, Senior Sister. From today on, you and I are just Senior Sister and Junior Brother. I hope you’ll stop disturbing me."

As his words fell, Chen Xuanji soared into the sky.

"Junior Brother!"

"Chen Xuanji, come back here!"

Fang Xiyu shouted desperately into the sky.

But Chen Xuanji vanished into the void, disappearing without a trace, never showing his face again.

Fang Xiyu wailed in grief and rage, trembling uncontrollably like she had lost her soul.

Xu Yang—his words have come true!

"Why? I did it for you, so why do this to me?"

"Xu Yang... Right, it’s all because of him! If not for him, Junior Brother wouldn’t treat me so coldly."

"It’s all your fault, Xu Yang, you damned bastard!"

"I will never forgive you!"

Fang Xiyu suddenly straightened her back, staring murderously toward Dongyang Xuanzong, her eyes filled with suffocating hatred and a desire to kill.

Below, the little junior sister who had kept her head bowed and eyes down, glanced up ever so slightly, looking at Fang Xiyu’s crazed expression, then slowly licked the blood from her lips—a mocking, sneering look flashed across her delicate face.

She quickly lowered her head again, pretending nothing had happened.

...

Dongyang Profound Sect, Profound Sun Hall.

Xu Yang and Zuo Guangchen’s father were having a most pleasant conversation.

As for the attack at Wild Beast Abyss and Xiao Ming and Menglong’s alliance, both parties were extremely tacit—they never mentioned it at all.

As if it never happened.

But everyone knew what was really going on.

"Mr. Xu, Earth Spirit Milk is not a problem; when Mr. Shi came last time, if he’d just said it was for you, our sect would have agreed straightaway, hahahaha."

"If you’re ever free, come to Dongyang Profound Sect any time, treat this as your second home—no outsiders here."

Zuo Shenzong was extremely warm and enthusiastic.

Xu Yang responded in kind, "Thank you, Uncle Zuo. If there’s an opportunity, I’ll definitely come discuss the Dao with Mr. Zuo more often."

Hearing this, Zuo Shenzong let out a hearty laugh.

Then—

He looked at Zuo Guangchen and said, "Chen’er, go fetch seven drops of Earth Spirit Milk."

Seven drops?

Zuo Guangchen was shocked. Wasn’t it supposed to be five?

Still, he didn’t show any sign of surprise and quickly nodded.

Xu Yang was also taken aback.

From five to seven? It seemed like only two more, but this was no ordinary treasure.

Earth Spirit Milk needed extremely harsh conditions and immense energy, as well as earth veins to nurture it!

It could take hundreds of years just to produce a single drop!

Xu Yang was both shocked and lost in thought.

It seemed Dongyang Profound Sect sensed the crisis too!

Seven drops of Earth Spirit Milk—that was Dongyang Profound Sect’s attitude!

With two extra drops, Xu Yang certainly wouldn’t refuse!

The more Earth Spirit Milk, the more powerful the pills refined from it.

Just then, Zuo Shenzong’s face suddenly changed, he stood up abruptly from his chair, and stared harshly outside the hall.

At that moment, Zuo Guangchen had reached the main doors and, seeing two figures outside, his face changed drastically.

"Xiao Ming, Chen Xuanji!"
