Chapter 172 Taking advantage of the situation
The outer gate of Xuanfeng Sect.
This is a small hill with little spiritual power. Not many people come here on weekdays, so Zhao Ziyi invited Cheng Shuyan to come here.
When Cheng Shuyan arrived following the instructions left by Zhao Ziyi, he had been waiting for a long time.
She didn't bother exchanging pleasantries with Zhao Ziyi and went straight to the point, "Friend Zhao, do you have any news to share with me these days?"
Zhao Ziyi didn't say anything more and directly told her the reason for asking her out: "Of course, I know Cen Pianpian's plan, and I can tell you everything."
This actually made Cheng Shuyan somewhat interested. Zhao Ziyi had been with Cen Pianpian for many years, so Cheng Shuyan was not surprised that Zhao Ziyi knew her plan.
Since Zhao Ziyi chose to take the risk and ask her to meet privately in Xuanfeng Sect, he must have a plan to deal with it. She couldn't help but become interested.
"Oh? Does Fellow Daoist Zhao have any plans?"
"We'll use their own tactics against them." Zhao Ziyi said confidently, "But... I'm afraid I'll have to put you in a difficult position."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Cheng Shuyan asked back.
Zhao Ziyi did not answer, but asked about another matter.
"If I remember correctly, Fellow Daoist Cheng should have a crucial person in his hands who can bring about the downfall of Cen Pianpian...right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Shuyan narrowed his eyes and his aura became fierce.
That thing...
He actually knew about it.
Cen Pianpian couldn't tell anyone about this, so the only possibility was that Zhao Ziyi was at the scene at the time.
However, she had not noticed any trace of Zhao Ziyi at that time. This man's hiding skills must be extremely amazing.
Did he also know her secret? At least... he could guess that she had a "space magic weapon" that could accommodate living people.
Seeing that Cheng Shuyan didn't say anything, Zhao Ziyi didn't ask any further questions, but told him Cen Pianpian's plan in detail.
……
Late at night, Cheng Shuyan stayed in the room, meditating and regulating his breathing, waiting for tonight's guests.
Sect Leader Xiao invited Cheng Huaixu and his wife to exchange experiences in cultivation. If nothing unexpected happens, they will not come back tonight.
After a while, the formation in her room was triggered.
Cheng Shuyan knew who was coming, so she walked to the door and opened it.
Sure enough, I saw Xie Jingxiu standing outside.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist? Why are you here? What brings you here so late at night?" She pretended to be puzzled.
Xie Jingxiu's eyes flashed with doubt when he heard this, but he asked in return: "Oh, Ah Yan, this is boring. Didn't you ask me to come here?"
"Xie Daoyou, you should know that if I want to date you, it must be for one reason only—to kill you!
Do you think I would take the initiative to ask you out in Xuanfeng Sect?"
"That's right, so, I fell into a trap?" Although he said this, Xie Jingxiu did not look panicked.
For him, even if someone in the Xuanfeng Sect plotted against him, he was confident that he could escape unscathed.
"Now that I'm here, why don't you invite me in to sit down?" He chuckled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
Cheng Shuyan could vaguely feel that Xie Jingxiu's temperament seemed to have changed greatly.
He became even colder.
In the past, Xie Jingxiu might have still felt guilty and in love with Cheng Shuyan.
Now, all he has left is obsession in his heart.
We must get Cheng Shuyan's obsession.
If you get it, the inner demon can be solved.
The door had been open for a while, and an inexplicable fragrance was faintly wafting from Cheng Shuyan's room.
Xie Jingxiu only felt that he was becoming more and more irritated.
He reached out and tugged at the collar of his clothes, making his neatly-made robes a little messy.
Seeing this, Cheng Shuyan couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Fellow Daoist Xie? What are you doing?"
Xie Jingxiu cares the most about his appearance. Whenever he appears in front of others, he must be neatly dressed and look dignified.
But he was completely different from his usual self at this moment.
When Xie Jingxiu heard her voice, the suppressed obsession in his heart became even more agitated. He vaguely felt that he seemed to have fallen into a huge trap.
"Cheng Shuyan! What did you do?" He suddenly raised his voice and questioned Cheng Shuyan.
"Fellow Daoist Xie, your question is strange. It's obvious that you came here so late at night for no apparent reason, and you're even questioning me about what I did."
Xie Jingxiu's eyes gradually became hotter, and Cheng Shuyan could clearly feel that the demonic energy in him was getting heavier.
Such heavy demonic energy is almost the same as those of the demon cultivators in the Demon Realm.
He didn't say anything else, his eyes fixed on Cheng Shuyan's neck.
His look made Cheng Shuyan very uncomfortable. She frowned, walked sideways and was about to close the door.
Xie Jingxiu suddenly flashed into the room and before Cheng Shuyan could react, he reached out and grabbed her neck.
Cheng Shuyan was horrified and in a panic, he didn't care that this place was in the inner gate of Xuanfeng Sect.
She gathered spiritual power in her hands and struck Xie Jingxiu on the chest, knocking him away.
Xie Jingxiu reacted extremely quickly. He used his skills the moment he was knocked away, and the next moment he appeared in front of Cheng Shuyan like a ghost.
He seemed to have completely lost his mind. The demonic energy on his body was terrifyingly strong. His red eyes were glued to Cheng Shuyan, and his whole body was filled with the determination to get Cheng Shuyan.
He attacked again, unleashing his Dao of Life and Death to the extreme. Cheng Shuyan was trapped by him and had no choice but to unleash his own Dao to confront him.
"Xie Jingxiu, are you crazy?!"
She shouted while resisting Xie Jingxiu's attack, trying to awaken his reason.
Fighting with Xie Jingxiu here is definitely not a wise choice. She must resolve it as soon as possible.
However, Xie Jingxiu acted as if he had not heard anything and continued to attack her as usual.
All this happened in a flash, and the noise of the two men's fighting attracted the attention of others.
The people from the Cheng family who stayed in the guest house opened their doors one by one. After seeing the scene in front of them, they were all shocked and didn't understand why these two people started fighting for no apparent reason.
Still in the inner gate of Xuanfeng Sect!
And... they seemed to sense the demonic energy!
However, both of them had unfolded their Daoist intentions, and they had no way of discovering the source of the demonic energy.
The fight between the two was too intense, and they felt they did not have the strength to intervene, so they could only watch from the sidelines.
The news spread, and soon several beams of light flashed from a distance, heading towards the guest house.
It seems that the top leaders of Xuanfeng Sect have been alarmed.
Since she couldn't stop Xie Jingxiu anyway, she might as well wait for the people from Xuanfeng Sect to deal with it. It would be better for everyone to see him like this now.
Her plan was good, but the people behind the scenes had put so much thought into this, and it was all aimed at her, so how could things go as she wished?
The fragrance gradually dissipated, and Xie Jingxiu finally regained some of his sanity.
The escaping light in the distance was gradually approaching, but he saw himself holding a sword and killing Cheng Shuyan.
Cheng Shuyan was also holding a fiery sword to meet his attack.
That was her Blazing Sword, which Xuanfengmen returned to her when they went to the Cheng family to discuss the marriage exchange.
