“…”

This time, it was Gu Jun who was speechless!

Although he wanted to make a move too, if he revealed himself and killed these people here, it would be a complete falling-out with Tuoba Hongyu and alarm all the Barbarian powerhouses in the Northern Territory!

Especially since this place was simply too close to Beixuan City!

There was no need to even send out a message—the commotion from a fight would easily attract the attention of Barbarian experts within Beixuan City.

And in that situation, even he wouldn’t be able to get a shred of advantage!

By then, escape would be impossible even with wings!

“Sure, I can make a move, but if I alarm the top experts, Void Shift won’t be much use if they’re prepared.” Gu Jun sighed.

If luck ran out, it wouldn’t just be ineffective—he wouldn’t be able to use it at all!

“Forget it.”

Xu Yang actually regretted asking as soon as the words left his mouth.

Making a move now would be downright stupid!

He suppressed the urge to kill and faced the group calmly.

The joyous reunion of father and son—let them enjoy that for a bit longer.

“You all head back first. Pass on the orders: hunt down Xu Yang!”

“I have other important matters to attend to!”

Tuoba Hongyu spoke with an unchanged expression.

“Yes, Your Highness!”

The group bowed in unison, then turned and left.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a rainbow-like light appeared in the sky from the direction of Beixuan City. Midway, as if noticing people below, it abruptly turned and shot straight toward them.

Seeing this, Guo Wenlu and the other two instinctively stopped and looked up.

“That’s… Tuoba Shengwu!”

“Wasn’t he still back at the clan? Even he’s come.”

Surprise flashed across Guo Wenlu’s face; the newcomer had quite a reputation and strength among the Barbarians.

Swoosh!

The newcomer descended from the sky, dispersing the rainbow light, revealing a Barbarian young martial artist.

His face was sharply defined, body tall and lean—by Barbarian standards, he was indeed ‘handsome’!

He looked to be around thirty or forty years old!

His aura was restrained, making him hard to read.

Xu Yang glanced at him and felt an unexplainable sense of dread.

“Late Stage of Myriad Phenomena, but this guy is no simple opponent!” Xu Yang kept a straight face, but inwardly grew wary—there were few at this stage who could give him that feeling.

“Mr. Luu, so it’s you all.”

“Your Highness is here as well.” Tuoba Shengwu was slightly startled, first cupping his fists to Guo Wenlu’s group, then bowing far more respectfully to Tuoba Hongyu.

Tuoba Hongyu said indifferently, “Carry on, I must leave first.”

With that, she rose directly into the sky.

Tuoba Shengwu glanced carelessly at Xu Yang, frowning slightly. Something about this person felt off. His eyes, almost instinctively, turned into two pools of blue-green water, the black pupils within transforming into blood-red.

It was as if the azure water enveloped a pair of eerie blood-colored eyes!

Just a glance and Tuoba Shengwu’s face changed dramatically.

“Daqian scum!”

“Xu Yang, you’ve got some nerve, daring to disguise yourself as one of us Barbarians!”

“Your Highness, you’ve been tricked by him!”

His furious bellow shook the sky and earth.

In midair, Tuoba Hongyu’s face instantly changed, darkening as she cursed under her breath, “Damn it!”

I knew it!

Tuoba Shengwu had the azure-blood eyes!

That’s why, as soon as she saw Tuoba Shengwu, she didn’t hesitate to leave immediately.

Who would’ve thought that he’d pierce through Xu Yang’s disguise in no time!

Aren’t you so impressive?

How come your disguise is so useless?

Leaving aside Tuoba Hongyu’s frustration, Guo Wenlu and the others were dumbstruck, unable to believe what they’d just heard.

“He—he’s Xu Yang?”

“How is that possible?”

“Tuoba Shengwu has the Azure-Blood Eyes; nothing escapes him. Unless…”

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!!

Guo Wenlu, together with two others, shot up like lightning and surrounded Xu Yang, who was about to leave—their eyes cold and fierce.

Especially Su Rijin and the other one!

If this is really Xu Yang, then it’s like searching the world for him only to have him fall right into your lap!

“Your Highness.”

Tuoba Shengwu fixed his gaze on Tuoba Hongyu.

He still thought Tuoba Hongyu had been fooled by Xu Yang!

Tuoba Hongyu sighed inwardly; a flash of shock and anger darted across her face.

The act was flawless!

At this point, she had no choice but to play along with Tuoba Shengwu’s suspicions.

“Xu Yang? Is it really you?”

She turned and fixed Xu Yang with an incredulous stare, eyes brimming with disbelief.

Xu Yang’s face twitched.

The moment Tuoba Shengwu locked on to him, he felt his skin crawl.

Who would’ve imagined that even a mysterious Breathing Skill and the Bone Melting Transformation Skill would be instantly seen through!

Azure-blood eyes, huh?

Not bad at all.

Xu Yang sighed helplessly.

No point hiding it now.

But…

Xu Yang suddenly looked up, sneered toward Tuoba Hongyu, and said, “Nice acting, Your Highness. Didn’t we have a deal? I give you pills, you get me out of the Northern Territory—why back out all of a sudden?”

Tuoba Hongyu’s face changed dramatically. She clenched her fists, staring in rage.

“Xu Yang, you bastard!”

“What? This…” Su Rijin stared blankly at Tuoba Hongyu, looking utterly crushed, disappointment filling his eyes. “Your Highness, he’s killed so many of our Barbarian prodigies, and yet you…”

“Just because his alchemy is superhuman?”

“What—Su Rihan, Wuo Chengfeng, Guo Wenzhan, Helan Ying and the rest—are they all worthless? Did they die for nothing?” Wuo Lan flared with grief and rage.

Even Guo Wenlu and Tuoba Shengwu now looked at Tuoba Hongyu with complicated expressions.

Sure, Xu Yang’s alchemy skill is otherworldly—if he submitted to the Barbarians, the benefits would be immense for both the Barbarians and them personally.

But only if Xu Yang was willing to submit!

Again and again, Xu Yang showed zero signs of surrender!

Killings, over and over!

Prodigies and experts alike—how much loss and trouble had he caused?

Frankly, barely anyone in the Barbarians didn’t want Xu Yang dead to vent their rage and humiliation!

Who cares how great your alchemy skill is?

Tuoba Hongyu’s actions chilled them to the bone!

Is Xu Yang really worth all this?

Seeing their reaction, Xu Yang burst out laughing.

No exaggeration—after this stunt, Tuoba Hongyu’s prestige would take a massive hit!

Especially once the word got out!

Whoosh!

Xu Yang’s appearance shifted in an instant, reverting to his original look.

Murderous intent flooded Tuoba Hongyu’s eyes. She gnashed her teeth, spitting, “You think I don’t want to kill him? Let me tell you all—he’s carrying the remnant soul of an ancient Cyan Gang Sect powerhouse. Even the Spiritual Object my father left me as a protective bloodline inheritance feels threatened!”

“If I make a move, even if I don’t die, I’ll suffer consequences I can’t bear!”

Her words sent shockwaves through the crowd!

“How can that be?”

“The Cyan Gang Sect’s remnant soul… Decades ago, Daqian’s Cyan Gang Sect truly did have countless powerhouses!”

In an instant—

The whole atmosphere changed!

“…”

Xu Yang opened his mouth, speechless!

Inside the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant, Gu Jun couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

No question, the situation was desperate!

But somehow, he found it hilarious!

This little girl—her cunning was no less than Su Yun’s!

Moments that left Xu Yang frustrated were rare and precious!

“Xu Yang, today is the day you die!”

“You murdered my son—I’m going to make a statue from your flesh and let you suffer torment day and night, to appease his soul!”

Gazing at that all-too-familiar face, Su Rijin and Wuo Lan’s hatred and grief erupted together, their eyes blood-red, howling like madmen.

Guo Wenlu snarled, “Attack! Seize him!”

“Be careful of his tricks!”

Even before he finished speaking, he struck first!

On this battlefield, his cultivation and strength were the greatest—making the first move was only natural!

The moment he moved, Tuoba Shengwu, Su Rijin, and Wuo Lan, exuded an aura of unrestrained savagery, shooting up to the heavens, all charging at Xu Yang in unison.

“Kill!”
