Chapter 527: Chapter 525: Senior Sister with a Crush

Bang! Bang!

"Mr. Xu, there’s news from the sect."

The respectful voice of a guard came from outside the door.

Xu Yang woke up from cultivation, raising his eyebrows in surprise. "So fast?"

An unsteady feeling rose in his heart.

Will it be rejection or acceptance?

Xu Yang took a deep breath and quickly walked out of the room.

The person outside the door made him pause slightly.

"It’s you."

A look of shock flashed across Xu Yang’s eyes.

"You recognize me?" Zuo Guangchen stared at Xu Yang in disbelief.

This was his first meeting with Xu Yang.

The accompanying guard was also stunned, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Xu, this is our sect’s number one young talent, Zuo Guangchen."

"Mr. Zuo, I’ll take my leave first!"

Zuo Guangchen waved his hand slightly.

Xu Yang was even more surprised when he heard this.

Li Chen, Zuo Guangchen!

He had already suspected that "Li Chen’s" identity might not be ordinary.

But he didn’t expect him to be the top prodigy of Dongyang Profound Sect.

Men Long and Xiao Ming joined hands intending to kill Zuo Guangchen... If this matter got out, it would surely cause an uproar within the Spirit Realm.

As Zuo Guangchen remained puzzled, Xu Yang smiled slightly and released an aura familiar to Zuo Guangchen.

"Wild Beast Abyss!"

"Wild Beast Abyss? You..."

Zuo Guangchen’s pupils shrank, staring at Xu Yang in disbelief.

This was simply too shocking.

It wasn’t just Zuo Guangchen—even Xu Yang found it hard to calm down.

If Li Chen was Zuo Guangchen, didn’t that mean this trip held great promise?

After a long while.

Zuo Guangchen couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"Mr. Xu, the two of us have been through thick and thin together."

"Of course!"

Zuo Guangchen hadn’t forgotten that he owed Xu Yang a life.

His expression grew serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Mr. Xu, you’re here for the Earth Spirit Milk?"

"That’s right."

"My teacher needs Earth Spirit Milk to restore his physical body." Xu Yang gazed at Zuo Guangchen. He said this to make it clear how important the Earth Spirit Milk was to him.

Zuo Guangchen’s eyes flashed as he said, "Mr. Xu, Dongyang Profound Sect doesn’t have much Earth Spirit Milk left either. We can give you some, but I’m afraid at most only five drops!"

Five drops?

Xu Yang was overjoyed inside.

Back then, Can Sutian had only given him three drops!

Five drops—more than enough!

"Thank you!"

Xu Yang didn’t mince words and clasped his fist in thanks.

He hadn’t expected that after Shi Feng’s failure, things would go this smoothly on this trip.

But thinking it over, Xu Yang found relief.

When Shi Feng contacted him in secret, Zuo Guangchen hadn’t yet been targeted for assassination.

Now, after the disputes between the Battle King Clan and Star Nebula Infinite Sea...

If they could use Earth Spirit Milk to secretly build rapport with the Battle King Clan, it would undoubtedly be a boon.

Zuo Guangchen’s quick arrival—as Dongyang Profound Sect’s number one prodigy visiting personally—already signaled a certain attitude.

"Come on, follow me to Dongyang Profound Sect. My father wants to meet you as well."

"Your visit remains confidential here, so rest assured!"

Zuo Guangchen said happily.

Originally, he’d also been quite curious about Xu Yang’s identity—daring to defy Men Long, even capturing Deng Tianfang. That took some nerve.

Now that he knew who Xu Yang was—and that he was enemies with Xiao Ming and Men Long—

It was just too much of a pleasant surprise.

"Right, Mr. Xu, you should disguise yourself, lest anyone takes notice," Zuo Guangchen reminded.

With him around, there was no danger.

Right now, there was no need to act openly.

Xu Yang nodded slightly. His physique and appearance quickly shifted into that of a middle-aged man, and he followed Zuo Guangchen out.

Along the way, Xu Yang also inquired about Men Long’s motive for attacking him.

On this matter, Dongyang Profound Sect attached great importance.

According to the Dongyang Profound Sect Leader Zuo Shenzong’s speculation, the Five Elements Celestial Realm had already birthed numerous secret designs, and just before the opening of the Ancient Land of Immortal Fall, to make such a move suddenly—most likely they were joining forces with some others, planning to monopolize the fortunes in the ancient land.

Dongyang Profound Sect’s attitude was just as Xu Yang had guessed before.

There was no doubt they meant to seek out some allies!

The freshly renowned Battle King Clan was the best choice.

Especially with Can Sutian representing the Battle King Clan—and Xu Yang, the former Daqian Crown Prince, now with the clan as well.

Forming an alliance with them would be significant!

"One more thing,"

Zuo Guangchen suddenly said, "Bright Mirror Grotto Heaven’s number one young talent, Lan Yue, was seriously injured not long ago—almost crippled."

"Lan Yue?"

Xu Yang’s heart trembled. Though he’d never met her, as the top talent of one of the three great sacred lands, such a disaster must have been perilous.

"No one’s sure about Lan Yue’s current condition, or whether there’s evidence to point out who did it; only Bright Mirror Grotto Heaven knows."

Zuo Guangchen took a deep breath. "But most likely, it was them."

Everyone knew who "them" referred to without it being said!

The scheme was tremendous!

"Before the opening of the Ancient Land of Immortal Fall, if you and I have nothing urgent, it’s best not to go out," Xu Yang said in a low voice.

Zuo Guangchen nodded, feeling immensely relieved as well!

Good thing he’d run into Xu Yang!

Otherwise, his fate would have been even worse than Lan Yue’s!

Even if Lan Yue could recover, her strength would likely suffer a huge setback. In the fight for spots, she’d lose her advantage completely!

Outside Dongyang City, the two soared into the sky.

Suddenly, two figures sped towards them.

"Hm?"

Xu Yang raised his eyes, frowning slightly.

The newcomers were two women.

The one in front appeared to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, graceful in build and ethereal in demeanor, possessing a True Monarch Perfection cultivation.

The young lady beside her looked in her early twenties, her beauty fresh as spring, skin porcelain white, her cultivation only at True Monarch Middle Realm.

"Damn."

Zuo Guangchen’s eyes narrowed, his face abruptly changing.

"Unfriendly guests?" Xu Yang was startled.

Zuo Guangchen forced a wry smile. "Mr. Xu, I fear your identity has already been exposed."

His tone was somewhat awkward.

Since Xu Yang had arrived, he’d been at Dongyang Profound Sect’s station.

They’d tried to keep things secret, but didn’t expect someone to dig it up so quickly.

On his Dongyang Profound Sect’s turf, this was a blatant slap in the face.

Xu Yang, however, wasn’t fazed in the slightest.

Exposed is exposed.

What piqued his curiosity was the identity of the newcomers.

"The older is Miss Fang Xiyu, Chen Xuanji’s senior sister, and she’s quite fond of him!"

"Chen Xuanji’s senior sister?"

Xu Yang’s expression turned odd.

Normally, it’s the junior sisters who admire their senior brothers!

This time, it’s reversed.

The senior sister admires Chen Xuanji...

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The two women stopped not far ahead. Fang Xiyu fixed Xu Yang with a hostile glare.

She clearly already knew his identity.

"Greetings, Miss Fang. May I ask what brings you here?" Zuo Guangchen asked with a calm smile.

Fang Xiyu replied coldly, "I’ve come for the one beside you."

"What’s this? The dignified Daqian Crown Prince, always in the limelight—now that you’re in Dongyang City, you don’t even dare to show your face?"

Her tone was dripping with sarcasm.

Xu Yang sighed, his form and features shifting back to normal.

He stared at Fang Xiyu and said coolly, "What do you want?"

Fang Xiyu’s voice was icy, "For daring to injure my junior brother, today, getting past me won’t be so easy for you."

"Heh."

Xu Yang abruptly chuckled.

"I heard you fancy Chen Xuanji. Judging by his reaction, Chen Xuanji probably hasn’t made his intentions clear to you, has he?"

"What’s it to you?"

A flash of anger passed through Fang Xiyu’s eyes.

Xu Yang’s face was mocking: "Naturally, it’s none of my business. But, anyone with your attitude—unless Chen Xuanji isn’t a normal man anymore—won’t spare you a thought in the future."

"What did you say?!" Fang Xiyu erupted in fury.
