Chapter 408: Su Shaoying's Miscalculation
Chapter 408: Su Shaoying's Miscalculation
Everyone turned to look at Su Shaoying.
Oblivious to the undercurrents, Su Shaoying continued to egg Gong Jiu on, "Although Yu Luosha faked his death, the news about the assembly on the seventh day of the first lunar month next year at the Great Brightness Realm of Mount Kunlun is true.
Not many people know he's alive, and those who do won't be your opponents because he wants to test the loyalty of the experts in the Western Demon Sect towards his son.
Think about it, if you kill him now and show up at Mount Kunlun with the Luosha Token on the seventh day of the new year, with your martial arts skills and influence, can you not directly succeed the position of the Demon Lord?"
The group fell silent, including the presence outside—Yu Luosha, as Su Shaoying's words made sense. This was something he hadn't considered because he had never thought he would die.
Gong Jiu looked coldly at Su Shaoying, "How can you spout such shallow incitement without blushing?"
"Just say if what I said makes sense or not!" Su Shaoying retorted. "Among the three of us, you know that Lu Xiaofeng is a free spirit, Hua Manlou is poor except for his wealth, and I am the heir to the Emei Sect. We have no interest in the Luosha Token, nor do we pose a threat to you.
Since you've openly expressed your interest in the token, and Yu Daozhu is currently in the Central Plains, this is your best opportunity. I'm just reminding you so you won't regret it later."
Whether Gong Jiu would regret it or not was unknown, but at that moment, he only wanted to kill Su Shaoying.
"You make it sound so easy," Gong Jiu sneered. "Do you think I don't know what you're up to?"
Su Shaoying blinked innocently, "What am I up to?"
"The Emei Sect is located in Sichuan. You can enter Tibet through the ancient tea-horse road, then either go through Qinghai or the Gansu-Ningxia region to reach the Western Regions. If you can control the Western Demon Sect, the Emei Sect will immediately gain two new trade routes, and in two or three decades, your influence will be no less than that of Shaolin and Wudang."
"By then, you will still be the Emei Sect leader," Gong Jiu said coldly. "You've made quite a calculation."
"Just admit it if you're scared," Su Shaoying laughed. "It's not your fault that you didn't dare to make a move against Yu Luosha. I didn't dare either; we're even. I understand you, so there's no need to feel embarrassed or make excuses."
Gong Jiu narrowed his eyes and gripped the sword hilt, "Compared to the Western Demon Sect, I'm more interested in you right now."
Su Shaoying smiled, "Are you sure you want to draw your sword against me with Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou by my side?"
"It's a fair duel. They won't interfere," Gong Jiu stated calmly.
"So, a gentleman can be deceived with a square?" Su Shaoying raised an eyebrow.
"Yes," Lu Xiaofeng nodded seriously beside him. "When I was fighting Fang Yfei just now, you didn't help, so when you fight this guy, I'll definitely cheer you on from the sidelines."
Su Shaoying turned his head, "I was talking about Hua Manlou."
Lu Xiaofeng laughed, "I didn't say it was me."
"But when Hua Manlou helped you and I helped Hua Manlou, you benefited too," Su Shaoying pointed out.
"I don't care about that," Lu Xiaofeng waved his hand. "The fact is, you didn't help me."
"You're unreasonable," Su Shaoying said, "Don't get too full of yourself. I'm the first, and you're the second."
Lu Xiaofeng asked curiously, "Why?"
"Have you forgotten what that little girl said just now?" Su Shaoying teased, gesturing towards Beef Soup. "You're already someone else's property now."
"Nonsense! I'm not that honest monk's property. How can he compensate someone else with me?" Lu Xiaofeng exclaimed.
"That's between you and the honest monk. It has nothing to do with others," Su Shaoying laughed.
"The next time I see that honest monk, I'm going to break his head!" Lu Xiaofeng declared.
Yu Luosha shook his head and disappeared into the thin mist.
Gong Jiu did not pursue, and Lu Xiaofeng and the others naturally wouldn't either.
Even the weakest among them, Ouyang Qing and Xue Bing, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Yu Luosha's presence was so intimidating that even Gong Jiu, a swordsman unmatched except by Ximen Chuixue, was overshadowed.
Only Fang Yuxiang remained nonchalant. She walked over to Fang Yfei's body, knelt down, and gently picked it up.
"You are mine... you are mine... No one can take you away from me. Those bitches are all unqualified!" Fang Yuxiang muttered as she took out a silk handkerchief from beneath her sleeve and began to smooth out Fang Yfei's messy hair. She then gently wiped his cheeks, her own eyes, and the corners of her mouth.
As she wiped, her face turned green, and blood began to flow from her seven orifices.
In the blink of an eye, right before everyone's eyes, she fell into Fang Yfei's embrace, dying together with him.
Hua Manlou didn't try to stop her, but he let out a sigh and slowly shook his head. "What is love? It is the willingness to die together."
However, Gong Jiu and Beef Soup naturally paid no heed to the life and death of someone like Fang Yuxiang. Gong Jiu's gaze remained fixed on Su Shaoying.
"You've been hunting geese all day, and now a goose has finally pecked your eye," Lu Xiaofeng said, taking pleasure in Su Shaoying's misfortune. "You incited others to fight, and now they're coming after you."
Su Shaoying shot Lu Xiaofeng a sideways glance. "You're one of them, so why are you so happy?"
"That's a matter for later," Lu Xiaofeng replied with a smile. "I just want to see how you're going to get past this hurdle now."
"Do you think I need to get past this hurdle?" Su Shaoying asked.
"Don't you?" Lu Xiaofeng questioned.
"No, there's someone else who will deal with Gong Jiu," Su Shaoying said confidently.
Lu Xiaofeng blinked. "Who?"
Even Gong Jiu was curious about this, as he currently only considered Su Shaoying's sword a threat and believed that Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou were not his match.
"You were being tailed by the Three Friends of Winter and the Flying Tiger in the Sky. You were clearly no match for them, so didn't you take the opportunity to send a message and call for help?" Su Shaoying asked.
"Of course I did," Lu Xiaofeng admitted.
"There's only one person you could have contacted," Su Shaoying said confidently.
"That's right," Lu Xiaofeng nodded, answering for him. "I contacted Ximen Chuixue, but he hasn't arrived yet."
Su Shaoying thought for a moment. Unlike in the original story, where there was time for various analyses and conversations, it seemed that the timing had been advanced.
"But he'll be here soon," Su Shaoying said. "A peerless swordsman should naturally face off against another peerless swordsman."
Just then, a black figure appeared, shrinking back timidly.
"Zhao Junwu!" Lu Xiaofeng greeted him. "This is Zhao Junwu of the Black Mystery Altar, my good friend. He not only helped me find out where Fang Yfei was treating Chen Jingjing, but he also delivered my message to Ximen Chuixue."
Lu Xiaofeng turned to Zhao Junwu. "Where's Ximen Chuixue?"
Zhao Junwu glanced at Su Shaoying and then said to Lu Xiaofeng, "Ximen Chuixue said that since Flower Prince and Su the Second Hero are here, there's no need for him to deal with the Three Friends of Winter and the Flying Tiger in the Sky, so he's not coming. He's staying home to accompany... accompany his wife..."
Lu Xiaofeng: (⊙o⊙)
Su Shaoying: _?_
