Chapter 57: You Guys Are So Showy

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

He had never thought that he would hear the familiar name of Mo Yushu from the mouth of the other party.

After all, it really felt quite good to beat up Mo Yushu. How could Feng Xia forget this person so easily?

But now, he was being told that…

Mo Yushu was actually a traitor among the traitors. On the surface, he was a spy planted in the Thousand Autumn Valley by the Xuanwu imperial court, but in secret, he was a hidden spy planted in the Xuanwu imperial court by another force!

“This is too bloody brilliant.”

Feng Xia was stunned for a long time before he suddenly muttered.

After a moment, he whispered, “This is also too damn insidious…”

All of you are scheming in secret and also plotting openly. You’re all playing spy games all the time. How can anyone withstand this?

At first, Feng Xia had thought highly of himself since he transmigrated from modern society, had gone through the exciting era of an explosion of information and was proficient in thousands of keyboard combat techniques. In the alternate world that was clearly more similar to ancient times on Earth, should he not be the most intelligent life form, the human among the apes?

However, looking at the situation now…

He was clearly the ape that had fallen into the human crowd!

He thought of the demoness, Yan Wuyou, who had disguised herself and sneaked into the team; the First Elder Lei Shao, who had pretended to be gullible and rough; and the Sixth Elder, Liu Chuanyuan, who had deliberately pretended to be at odds with the First Elder to divert attention away from himself…

In addition, there was that person from the Xuanwu imperial court who pretended to be frightened by the power of the Thousand Autumn Bell when in fact, he left a portion of his power behind to secretly refine the eight small bells!

Now, there was a double agent, Mo Yushu.

If it was not because of his good luck and his innate strength, any other ordinary person would have been devoured in this world.

“As expected, a battle of wits is completely unsuitable for me.”

In the end, Feng Xia could only shake his head helplessly and come to a sad conclusion.

—Compared to dealing with those schemes that were illusory, indistinct and chaotic, he now realized that it was more practical for him to increase his strength as much as possible so that he could eliminate all his enemies.

“So, what is your original plan?”

Feng Xia sighed and recollected his thoughts. He asked with a bleak expression, “Are you trying to protect the Thousand Autumn Valley or do you have other motives?”

Although he did not want to concern himself with these schemes, he still had to get things straight.

He might not be able to handle it, but someone would be able to.

“I… How can I…”

The voice on the other end clearly choked, revealing a sense of deep shock.

Earlier, he had clearly felt the slave contract on his body activating without warning the moment this mysterious voice shouted!

If it was the Tianjue Sect Master that he was facing, he would have had time to prepare himself and activated some means to resist the slave contract and reduced the pain caused by disobeying the contract.

Otherwise, the Tianjue Sect Master would have noticed the abnormality long ago. Why would the sect master allow him to live until now?

However, Feng Xia’s shout had attacked and pressured him at the soul level. At the same time, it caused the slave contract to suddenly activate, causing him to accidentally tell the truth!

“You… Who exactly are you?”

The young man could not help himself from swallowing a mouthful of saliva. For some reason, he felt terrified.

When the Dragon Vein Resonance Technique showed an abnormal response earlier, he had already guessed that… a new variable that was not part of the plan had appeared!

However, when he confirmed this conjecture, he only felt more and more terrified.

“Who… is this person?”

This person’s identity was a mystery, and he came and went without leaving any trace. It was possible that neither the Thousand Autumn Valley nor the Xuanwu imperial court knew that a huge variable had already appeared!

More importantly, the highly secretive Dragon Vein Resonance Technique had been cracked by this person. He could even break into the slave contract!

Was there anything that this mysterious person could not do?

“Unfathomable! Inaccessible! Unpredictable!”

Almost instantly, the young man made a judgment about Feng Xia.

He took another deep breath and suppressed the shock in his heart. He spoke slowly, “So what is Senior’s goal?”

Feng Xia smiled faintly and said, “I want to protect the Thousand Autumn Valley.”

He already realized that he was seen as a mysterious expert again.

As for pretending to be a senior and an expert… He had done it too many times these days.

It’s just putting on an act as a charlatan! It’s something I’m good at!

“In that case, our interests are aligned for now.”

On the other end of the line, the young man pondered for a moment and finally threw out some important information. “Although that person from the imperial court has the power of the Primal Core, he can’t leave the royal city for too long.”

Feng Xia’s heart skipped a beat. “Continue.”

“In fact, his true realm should be called the Void Core Realm, so he stays in the royal city all year round. On one hand, he needs to provide protection and ensure the continuity of the luck and prosperity of the Xuanwu Kingdom. On the other hand, he needs the support of the dragon vein in the royal city to prevent his Primal Core Realm from faltering.”

“Based on our estimation, if that person travels at full speed, it will take him seven days to reach the Thousand Autumn Valley.”

“And after he leaves the royal city, the longest that he can maintain the Primal Core Realm… is about 15 days.”

Feng Xia felt enlightened suddenly.

If what the other party said was true, then it meant that the Thousand Autumn Valley only needed to withstand the attack of a Primal Core Realm cultivator for more than a day before the tables turned and they would have a chance to win… no, that there was hope for their survival!

“Other than that… Senior, someone is coming on my end!”

Feng Xia still wanted to ask a few more questions, but the other party’s voice suddenly changed. Then, the connection between them was suddenly cut off.

He turned his head and looked around. He was still surrounded by the primeval atmosphere. It was vast and boundless and full of unexplored regions.

“I really never expected that kid Mo Yushu to be so formidable…”

Feng Xia shook his head and lamented. “Then the next time I beat him up, I’ll be a little more lenient.”

As he pondered, Feng Xia withdrew his consciousness from the zifu between his eyebrows and rushed towards the old Sect Master’s place of seclusion.

The place of seclusion was located in a beautiful mountainous area with clear water flowing under the bridge.

A lanky and handsome figure stood guard there. When he saw Feng Xia walking over from afar, he subconsciously shrunk his neck and asked in surprise, “Fellow practitioner Feng, are you here to look for the old Sect Master?”

Feng Xia nodded and said in a deep voice, “I’ve received news that it will take that person from the imperial court seven days to arrive. Four days have already passed, so we probably only have three days left. I’m afraid the Thousand Autumn Valley will be facing a decisive battle soon.”

“The Sect Master has gone into seclusion precisely to prepare for that battle.”

Liu Chuanyuan’s spirits were instantly lifted. He smiled and said, “Speaking of which, I should also go into seclusion to make preparations. Fellow practitioner Feng, are you willing to come to Moon Pavilion for a chat again?”

Feng Xia looked at him curiously. “Is your neck itchy again?”

Liu Chuanyuan: “?”
