292: Chapter 47 Who Helps No One_3 292: Chapter 47 Who Helps No One_3 “Mr.
Xie Zhen, I am a Taoist disciple from Tai Shang House…”
Fang Hang hurriedly shouted loudly, “It’s truly a coincidence to encounter each other here!
Quickly join us in slaying this demoness!”
The words of the Tai Shang House disciple echoed in the vast emptiness of the great ruins.
Fang Hang was stunned.
He hadn’t expected that Xie Zhen would completely ignore him.
The youth in black who stepped out from the shadows stood before the Dragon Array, silently observing the dragon flames that roamed the sky, and his gaze methodically swept across the three people and the demoness.
Xie Sheng’s expression turned ugly, as he felt that Xie Zhen’s “gaze” lingered on him longer than it had on the others.
The silence that suddenly filled the air was most frightening.
Xie Zhen had appeared but did not speak.
And that was the best opening.
“Little Master Xie, what do you mean by this?”
Fang Hang’s eyes darkened, and his tone was no longer polite, “Could it be that you intend to collude with the demoness, to betray and murder the loyal and righteous of the Human Race?”
“Heh…”
Xie Xuanyi looked at the young Taoist before him with a look of pity.
Standing before the array, he said softly, “If I joined hands with you three to kill the demoness, how should the spoils be divided?”
Fang Hang subconsciously said, “Naturally, the four of us would share the spoils…”
Having said that,
he realized the problem.
“Miss Ao Ying.”
Xie Xuanyi smiled at the demoness with a relatively respectful address and asked, “If I were to join forces with you to kill these three, how would the division be?”
“If you want them, take them all!”
Ao Ying stood at the pivotal point of the array, ready to ignite the dragon flames at any moment, but even so, she was still unable to stop feeling nervous in the presence of the youth in black, and she did not dare to slacken her vigilance in the slightest.
She said in a deep voice, “I want none of the treasures or scriptures on these people!
They’re all yours!”
As soon as these words came out,
Xie Sheng, Fang Hang, and Yu Wenzhong’s expressions suddenly changed drastically.
“Xie Zhen!”
Fang Hang glared furiously, “Collaborating with the demoness here is treason!”
“Treason…”
Xie Xuanyi heard the familiar term.
He looked seriously at the Taoist before him and said, “You overestimate your own importance.”
“Mr.
Xie!”
At a critical moment,
it was Xie Sheng who managed to keep his composure, holding back the Tai Shang House disciple and stepping forward.
This was somewhat unexpected to Xie Xuanyi.
Xie Sheng spoke with a sincere expression, “I offended you previously at the Da Sui Sword Palace, and the Xie clan has already made an apology.
Our grievances have been settled, and I hope that today, for my sake…
do not make things difficult for Tai Shang House.
With the demons before us, let us join hands to eliminate the evil.
Whatever we obtain from killing the demoness, it will all be yours!”
“???”
Yu Wenzhong slowly moved his head, looking at Xie Sheng with a look of disbelief.
The latter remained calm, with a face full of sincerity.
Only those who have crossed blades with Xie Zhen
knew the extent of this successor to Xie Xuanyi’s swordsmanship.
The Saint Heir of Qiantian Palace had inquired about Xie Zhen’s strength aboard the Cloud Ship.
Xie Sheng verbally downplayed it,
but in reality, he had his reservations.
If they were to fight again,
he was absolutely reluctant!
Xie Xuanyi’s lips slightly curled up, appreciating the performance of the Prince Jiangning.
“Xie Zhen, join forces with me!”
Ao Ying became somewhat anxious.
She said in a deep voice, “Don’t you want the Secret Treasures on these people?
Killing me, there’s only one, but killing them, there are three!”
Seeing this, Yu Wenzhong also became anxious.
“Brother Xie Zhen!”
The Qiantian Palace Saint gritted his teeth and said, “I have no grievances with you, and I’ve long admired you.
If we join forces to slay the demon today, I will take you to the Qiantian Palace Secret Realm afterward, to comprehend the Qiantian Eight Forbidden!”
“Oh?”
Xie Xuanyi looked toward Ao Ying again.
Blessings from a sacred place—such terms were not something the demoness could offer.
Ao Ying, with her arms akimbo, helplessly said, “Mr.
Xie, this is all I can do.
What else do you want me to do?
If I say to take you to the forbidden land of the Demon Race to comprehend the Ancient Saint Secret Technique, would you believe me, would you dare?”
“Everyone, I have made up my mind.”
Xie Xuanyi smiled, looking at both groups.
He took a small step backward.
Whir!
A Sword Sound rose from the depths of the ruins.
Xie Xuanyi placed one hand on the center of his forehead, summoning Primordial Energy with Divine Thought to open the Sword Qi Cave Heaven.
He did not unleash Chen Ke.
Countless Sword Qis rose around the perimeter of the array.
In an instant,
Hundreds, thousands of Flying Swords enveloped the entire array.
The tips of the swords turned.
Aimed at…
not just Fang Hang and the others,
but also Ao Ying, who manned the array.
Long ago, Xie Xuanyi had taken his junior sister Jiang Miaoyin down the mountain in secret, wandering through the city, where he heard a very interesting question.
The question was,
If two enemies fell into a river together,
and there was only a single brick on the bank,
what should the person with the brick do?
The current situation was somewhat similar to the problem he had heard back then.
“Since you are all arguing so fiercely, why not have a fight and see who prevails, who is stronger and who is weaker…”
“Today, I will stand outside the array, favoring no side.”
Xie Xuanyi surrounded the entire world with Flying Swords and said with a slight smile, “Whoever emerges victorious can leave.
If anyone tries to flee or voluntarily leaves the array, these Flying Swords will descend.”
The answer to that question is simple.
If there is only one brick, throw it at the one trying to climb ashore.
Xie Xuanyi stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Xie Sheng, Fang Hang, Yu Wenzhong, and Ao Ying.
After a pause,
he said earnestly, “Of course, you can also strike at me, all together.”
