Chapter 1846
Chen Xuan then looked at the sullen Shen Yu and spread his hands, saying, "Look, the fairy has already agreed to be my Daoist partner. You know what a mess this is..."
"Pfft!" Qiu Zixian spat out the wine she had just put in her mouth, staring wide-eyed at Zi Mang, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot. What was Zi Mang's intention in inviting this kid to interfere today?
Even Qiu Zixian, who usually acts like a witch, has a day when she is rendered speechless by a rogue. She was clearly quite shocked by Chen Xuan's "nonsense," and even the tips of her ears turned slightly red.
"Boy! You shameless! Do you dare to fight me?" Shen Yu's Dao heart was not as stable as Chen Xuan's. With just a few words and this "small action", he was actually provoked and his anger was aroused. His divine power surged and the air was rippling with golden waves, as if it would condense into a divine arrow in the next second.
"Hahaha, just kidding, it's a custom from my hometown." Chen Xuan laughed loudly, his laughter echoing loudly against the carved beams and painted rafters.
Changing the subject, he looked at Qiu Zixian, his gaze through the gauze curtain carrying a hint of seriousness: "Of course, if Fairy Qiu really agrees, I will be overjoyed."
Qiu Zixian ignored Chen Xuan and looked at Zi Mang with a cold face, her tone as cold as ice:
"Fellow Daoist Zimang, is today's situation a scheme to trap the two of us?"
The fact that a stranger had infiltrated the drinking party meant that Zi Mang was in charge. She had no interest in arguing with a "tool" and was just waiting for Zi Mang to give her an explanation.
"Ah, this..." Zi Mang's forehead was covered in sweat. He looked at Chen Xuan and then at Qiu Zixian. His tongue was almost tied in knots. He had no idea how to cover up this lie. He could only feel his palms sweating.
Just when Zi Mang was completely embarrassed, Chen Xuan suddenly burst into laughter.
He stood in the center of the hall, his laughter lingering.
After laughing, he slowly raised his hand and removed the black veil hat that concealed his aura in front of Shen Yu, Qiu Zixian, and Zi Mang.
The instant the bamboo hat was removed from his body, it was as if an invisible barrier shattered with a "pop," and Chen Xuan's true face was suddenly revealed to the three of them—
Her long silver hair cascaded down her back, her eyebrows were like slanted swords, and her eyes were firm and calm like an ancient, cold pool. Although she did not release any aura, she had an imposing and awe-inspiring presence that made the temperature in the hall seem to drop a few degrees.
"Whoosh-"
Shen Yu and Qiu Zixian reacted extremely quickly, their Dao auras exploding instantly!
Shen Yu conjured a divine bow in his hand, its entire body shimmering with golden light. The bowstring vibrated and hummed, as if it could tear through the void.
On Qiu Zixian's slender hands, a pair of pale purple gauze gloves, as thin as cicada wings, appeared. Strands of celestial light swirled between the threads, shimmering and dazzling. Just from the aura emanating from the magic weapon, Chen Xuan was certain that this was a top-grade celestial treasure, and touching it would surely unleash terrifying power.
"It's you, Chen Xuan!" Shen Yu raised his bow with one hand, and an arrow as dazzling as the sun instantly materialized, its arrowhead pointing directly at Chen Xuan. The golden light was so bright that it made one's eyelashes tremble. His voice was stern, "I didn't expect you to be courting death, daring to infiltrate this place!"
Qiu Zixian rubbed her fingertips against her thin gauze gloves. Instead of immediately uttering harsh words, she carefully examined Chen Xuan with her clear yet cold eyes, as if trying to see through him from the inside out. Her lips under the black gauze were pressed into a cold, hard arc.
Then, she turned to the purple light not far away, her voice low and cold: "Fellow Daoist Purple Light, is today's situation really meant to scheme against the two of us?"
Now that Chen Xuan has revealed his identity, Zi Mang will naturally not turn against him because of this pressure.
His smile vanished, he slowly rose, and walked between Shen Yu and Chen Xuan. His tone was grave as he looked at Qiu Zixian:
"According to the rules, disciples of the Divine Dynasty and Holy Land are not allowed to interfere in the struggles between the forces of their subordinate Holy Cities and Quasi-Holy Cities."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over Shen Yu, and continued:
"Moreover, Qilin City is now under Brother Chen Xuan's sphere of influence. If you insist on continuing, Brother Chen Xuan can go directly to the Dao Alliance to report us—at that time, we will all be punished by our sects, and may even be stripped of some of our privileges."
"Hmph! Then suppress him again! Let's see how he goes to the Dao Alliance!" Shen Yu was not afraid at all. His eyes were full of fighting spirit as he stared at Chen Xuan. The divine light around him burned even brighter, and the cloud patterns on his golden robe seemed to come alive, baring their fangs and claws.
