NOVEL NEXT Chapter 296 Way of the Sovereign
Tao Yu got his hands on it, yet the Twin Dragons also felt a bit flustered.
Kou Zhong turned his head towards Xu Ziling and said,
"Do you think if we slaughter him and toss him onto the street, will the beauty military strategist go crazy when she sees it?"
"Probably."
Xu Ziling himself did not know what kind of expression he should have when facing such a question.
"Haha, being able to capture Xu Shiji alive, his strength must be formidable, it's making me a bit itchy to try my hand."
Ba Fenghan at this moment laid his hand on the Zhanxuan Sword, clearly feeling quite eager to act.
In Tao Yu's eyes, Ba Fenghan was like a male public relations agent of the Great Tang, skilled in charming the ladies, and he could even gather plenty of strange and miscellaneous intelligence through his dalliances.
When the Twin Dragons were inexperienced, he would be around every day to provide commentary.
Hearing his words, Tao Yu chuckled lightly,
"I met Bader not long ago, and she seemed to be quite eager to come find you."
The previously eager Ba Fenghan suddenly had his expression freeze, mumbling without uttering a word, as the sharp edge about him was somewhat blunted.
This amazed both Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.
Ba Fenghan could actually show such a change because of a woman?
To them, it felt a bit unfamiliar.
"The Longevity Secret in and of itself is not important to us, it just relates to our mother. If brother truly desires it, when we go to pay respects to our mother, we can bring it to you. But I must say beforehand, we were rather confused when we mastered the Longevity Secret, so we can't replicate it."
Xu Ziling spoke thoughtfully at this time.
The biggest secret they carried was actually the Treasure-House of Yang Gong, and even the Seductress had tested them several times without finding any reason behind it; their mastering it was completely by chance and they had no lessons to share.
And after Fu Junniang was mentioned, Song Shidao fell into a kind of silence, making the atmosphere at the scene somewhat oppressive.
"Where is the small valley? After I slay Yuwen HuaJi, I will build a hut there to live, so that she won't be lonely."
Song Shidao was truly a man of deep affection, as after Tao Yu mentioned the Longevity Secret and the Twin Dragons talked about the burial site, he immediately made an inquiry.
This caused Tao Yu's eyes to light up slightly.
Although he sympathized with Master Song's plight, this was certainly a divine assist from him!
His words made both Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling feel a heaviness, after which Xu Ziling spoke with difficulty,
"How about after we have settled these matters, we take Second Master Song there to visit mother?"
Kou Zhong then added after a moment of silence,
"Master Tao can join us at that time."
Not knowing what Song Shidao was thinking of, he did not join in the conversation, finally he could only sigh,
"Alright then, after I slay Yuwen HuaJi we will talk."
"We'll go after slaying Yuwen HuaJi? Where is Yuwen HuaJi? I'll go slay him."
Tao Yu really didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
The main quest line directly appeared, this would be much more convenient!
Tao Yu's words left both the Twin Dragons and Song Shidao a bit stunned.
We are here for revenge, what are you here for?
Subsequently, they all turned back to look at Tao Yu with unfriendly eyes, leaving Tao Yu somewhat dumbfounded.
What, isn't it allowed to snatch a kill?
"Our greatest purpose in practicing martial arts is to personally slay that old thief Yuwen HuaJi."
"Alright then, when the time comes, I'll help you kill all those who are in the way… huh?"
But then his brow slightly furrowed, as he felt a strange sensation.
"What happened?"
Xu Ziling, with a slightly higher realm of consciousness, looked at Tao Yu as his face suddenly changed, finding it strange.
This man is truly interesting, capturing Xu Shiji as a gift for the Longevity Secret.
Wondering what he's thinking about now.
"A strange person is approaching…"
Almost simultaneous with Tao Yu's words, there came a knocking sound from the door.
Knock~ Knock~ Knock~
A pleasant male voice rang out,
"I am Qin Chuan, may I ask if Brother Song Shidao is present in this grand residence?"
These words instantly made both the Twin Dragons, Ba Fenghan, and Tao Yu realize.
```
Qin Chuan? Isn't that Shi Feixuan's alias?
The spokesperson launched by Mercy Temple, the archenemy of the Seductress from the Demon Sect, her power has already begun to rival the older generation, setting her far apart from her contemporaries!
Then, they all had the same thought simultaneously.
Way of the Sovereign!
Xu Ziling had already met Shi Feixuan and asked Li Shimin, informed his two best friends as well, and speculated her true identity.
Tao Yu merely stirred up memories.
This is the reason Luoyang has become the center of the whirlpool now, with the Buddhist Sect holding He's Jade Disc to designate the Heavenly Chosen Sovereign!
At the same time, the trio looked at Tao Yu with eyes filled with doubt and suspicion, as none of them had noticed beforehand, but he had!
And the words he had said earlier hadn't surprised Qin Chuan?
"I focused the sound into a beam, she couldn't hear it, and she wasn't at the door, she must have been on the roof,"
Tao Yu pointed upstairs.
Shi Feixuan's tactic was very clever, if one did not see through it, it would create the impression of an otherworldly master who appears without a trace.
However, since Tao Yu had already entered the Grandmaster state, he was superior to Shi Feixuan in every aspect, so such tricks were completely transparent to him.
"Good brother, I, Kou Zhong, just love making friends with someone like you."
Kou Zhong clapped Tao Yu on the shoulder, his tiger-like eyes shining with spirit.
Experience tales at empire
"Were your words from before still valid?"
"They were valid, but she could hear your voice,"
No sooner had Tao Yu's words fallen than Qin Chuan's slightly hesitant voice came through,
"Is there someone else in Brother Song Shi Dao's room…"
At that moment, standing atop the attic, Shi Feixuan experienced a rare ripple in her composure.
After she came over, she was able to sense the number of people in the room and even discern their general state.
However, in her Perception, Kou Zhong seemed to have been talking to thin air before!
This made it difficult for her to understand!
Even if Empress Yin were here, she was confident she could approximately detect a person's presence, but over there it seemed to be just thin air!
For a moment she even believed Kou Zhong was intentionally playing a trick on her.
"If Miss Shi is curious, why not come in and see for yourself."
As Tao Yu was about to boost the confidence of the Twin Dragons, he spoke indifferently, disregarding his interaction with Shi Feixuan.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he silenced Shi Feixuan completely.
The atmosphere she had previously created was shattered.
But she had to continue playing her role and also wanted to see Tao Yu for herself, so she lightly tapped the rooftop and drifted down to the doorway, knocking on the door again.
It was then that Song Shi Dao finally reacted and said,
"The door is unlocked, please come in and chat."
Upon opening the door, one would see a strikingly handsome figure.
Though dressed in men's clothing, the astonishing beauty could hardly be concealed, and coupled with that ethereal, refined temperament, totally fit for a killer among the mighty.
The stronger one's power and the higher one's status, the more susceptible they are to be drawn to such a temperament.
Having already heard the voice, and now seeing the person again, Shi Feixuan could not hide her shock.
Subsequently, a rare vigilance appeared on her face.
This vigilance was even perceived by Xu Ziling, who found it somewhat strange.
"I still don't know the name of this gentleman."
Shi Feixuan asked with some solemnity.
"A rustic villager, Tao Yu. Miss Shi seems to be quite guarded against me?"
Tao Yu did not indulge her, nor did he use any term of endearment like 'fairy.'
Shi Feixuan, whose identity had been pointed out, was not angry but solemnly said,
"Feixuan only feels that being able to retain one's youthful appearance may involve the use of some special secret techniques."
She left her words unfinished, but the implication was clear enough.
Tao Yu was suspected to be some aged expert with profound skills who possibly used demonic methods to preserve his youthful appearance.
Great, she had given him a label upon meeting, and even seemed to stir up a rift between Tao Yu and the Twin Dragons.
This wasn't deliberate on her part; it was completely natural behavior that had become fully integrated into her daily life…
