EBE Chapter 1449 Not Active
Chapter 1449 Not Active
Although his father seemed quite approachable, only Xu Xingmu himself, who was often slapped and ran away with his head in his hands, knew that his father was actually not stupid at all.
It should be said that no one who has reached this position is stupid.
Even though the head of the Xu family usually seems to be the most carefree of all the family heads, he is definitely a person who is meticulous despite his rough exterior.
If there is no benefit or anything else to it, and you want him to help, you should send all the cultivators in your clan.
No matter how you look at it, it seems like he wasn't fully awake when he heard those words.
But these words came from Gu Xia himself; they were spoken by his junior sister.
Xu Xingmu hesitated for a moment, unsure whether he should believe it or not.
The ghost cultivator whose ribs were broken by his kick in his excitement: "..."
You're just shocked, is it really necessary to both express your shock and attack him in return?
Damn, that really hurts!
It wasn't just Xu Xingmu who couldn't believe it; others shared the same thought to varying degrees.
Knowing their own stubborn fathers, some of them suspected that this might be a new type of fraud from Gu Xia.
It's specifically designed for the kind of melodious and lingering beauty.
"Would they agree to do something so thankless?" Gu Lanyi's expression was strange, and her wrist trembled so much that she almost lost her grip on the sword hilt.
It must be said that it was probably due to the subtle teachings of the elders of the five sects that even the most cold-hearted disciples, when faced with life-or-death situations in the cultivation world, would take on their responsibilities without hesitation.
Although they each have their own families, their differing ideologies are why they never intended to try going home to help out in the first place.
Because there's a chance you might get beaten up instead of calling for backup.
So everyone thought Gu Xia was joking.
However, in the instant he turned his head to dodge the attack, he suddenly noticed two people with strange expressions. They were Ye Suian and Jiang Chaoxu. He had almost forgotten that these two had been brought here by Gu Xia.
They must know some inside information.
Gu Lanyi retreated from the encirclement, coldly brandishing her sword as she looked at them, "Really?"
Ye Suian didn't hesitate much, "Of course it's true."
Why would my junior sister lie to you? She wouldn't get anything out of it.
That's even stranger.
He asked in surprise, "So they really don't intend to stand idly by, but instead actively step in to help?"
That really is like the sun rising in the west; it's a rare sight indeed.
"Ah this..."
This time, Ye Suian hesitated. He organized his thoughts slightly and said, "It wasn't out of his own volition."
Everyone: "???"
WTF?
As someone who witnessed that spectacular scene firsthand, Ye Suian couldn't help but chuckle twice as he recalled the various reactions on people's faces.
What was he going to say?
Should we tell our senior brothers that none of them actually wanted to get involved in this mess from the beginning?
But Gu Xia doesn't play by the rules.
She conspired with her father to lure everyone over, and then the two of them played good cop and bad cop, ultimately relying entirely on her outstanding strength as the youngest person to undergo tribulation and the two Young Master Tokens she had tricked from her senior brother and Xie Baiyi.
So they managed to take down those arrogant family heads in no time?
To be honest, the Ye family played a significant role in all of this.
He was afraid that if he spoke out, he would be beaten up by the group, since they were all his fathers.
His father wasn't even there, so why was he the only one being beaten?
Thinking of this, Ye Suian covered Jiang Chaoxu's mouth before he could speak, and then solemnly uttered a sentence to everyone.
"Believe me, although, they all did it willingly."
How can being passive not be considered a form of 'willingness'?
In any case, barring any unforeseen circumstances, those who were forced into this role should have already arrived at their respective battlefields by now.
As for how we got there, let's not worry about that for now.
"???"
Ye Sui'an is insane.
Why would someone suddenly become a riddle teller?
A group of people were filled with curiosity, wondering if their elderly fathers living alone had been possessed by ghosts without their knowledge.
However, they were so entangled with the ghost cultivator that they couldn't spare a moment. It can only be said that he was indeed one of the helpers that Qu Yimian had kept hidden until the end. When the ghost cultivator in the Void Refinement stage struck with his palm, the surrounding air became cold and gloomy.
Even the breath they exhaled condensed into white.
Xu Xingmu was distracted for a few seconds and, without warning, was tackled to the ground by two ghost cultivators the instant he turned around with his sword. The sword and the long saber clashed, and a cold glint flashed before his eyes.
The pressure vanished in an instant. He looked up and saw that Yu Heng had moved closer to him at some point. Perhaps afraid of accidentally hurting his ally, he sheathed his sword, flew up, and landed in front of him, kicking him right in the vulnerable spot of the other's temple.
The two ghost cultivators originally planned to trap Xu Xingmu and then take the opportunity to kill him, but instead, they were kicked in the head by this unexpected act of justice.
The whole world spun before my eyes.
"Mere ghost cultivator—" Yu Heng's smug tail had just swayed as he was about to utter a few sarcastic remarks when he was sent flying by a powerful force from behind. His unspoken words naturally turned into a furious curse, "Holy crap, who the hell attacked me from behind?!"
Xu Xingmu: "..."
He's the one who's even more unlucky, right?
He had just gotten up when Yu Heng, that big idiot, crushed him back down with a single, overwhelming force.
Now look what happened, their heads bumped together, making each other see stars.
Sang Wan, who was originally being protected by the two and ready to heal them at any time, saw this and her pupils shrank. Without thinking, she turned around and enlarged her alchemy furnace, covering the two unlucky guys inside.
"boom--"
The person whose head was buzzing suddenly became the ghost cultivator who lunged at them with a knife.
The fierce expression on his face froze instantly before he could even put it away.
As it turns out, the physical strength of a person's skull and the alchemy furnace are indeed not on the same level.
The ghost cultivator who crashed into it slowly cracked open.
I think I saw my great-grandmother.
The two people who had just gotten up inside also seemed to be struck by a spiritual shock, experiencing a brief ringing in their ears.
"What's going on?" The girl landed beside them, handed them some pills, and pointed at the two of them. "Two sword cultivators who had just reached the Nascent Soul stage were almost killed by the opponent in one fell swoop. Is this reasonable?"
"Are you two even capable of doing this?"
If it doesn't work, let her try; she also wants to become a deity.
Unfortunately, alchemy cultivators do not break through realms as quickly as sword cultivators, but that doesn't matter. It doesn't stop her from looking him up and down and then showing a disgusted expression.
Xu Xingmu: "..."
Yu Heng: "..."
The sword-wielding duo shattered gently.
*
The mentors had experienced countless trials and tribulations, and their ability to adapt was visibly exceptional. Therefore, after a brief moment of shock, they quickly composed themselves.
Although Ye Suian's words were like farts, at least the message he conveyed was enough to put their minds at ease.
It doesn't matter how they did it, as long as they have helpers now.
I don't know if the old father has been possessed by a ghost, but they are about to be possessed by a ghost as well.
In a literal sense.
The crowd, overwhelmed by the wave of ghost cultivators, was almost as if they were being marinated in the dense ghostly aura around them.
In comparison, Qu Yimian's mental fortitude is much weaker.
She could hardly believe what she was hearing.
"Stop talking nonsense." Qu Yimian, who was shocked and injured by Gu Xia's sword energy, finally recovered. She gritted her teeth and said, "Everyone knows what kind of people those aristocratic families and sects are. You'd be better off dreaming if you said they would be willing to come and help us."
She became more and more confident as she spoke, and with a swift slap, the two separated, her face showing a mocking expression. "I will not believe your nonsense."
"Gu Xia, where do you get your confidence that you can convince so many people?"
Having lived in the cultivation world before, she naturally knew a lot of inside information. Getting those powerful figures in high positions to bow their heads was undoubtedly a more difficult thing than climbing to heaven.
So from the beginning, she didn't take it to heart.
Gu Xia dodged the fierce palm strike from the left and right, swung her sword fiercely with one hand, and raised an eyebrow slightly, "Naturally, I will persuade people with reason."
She recalled the few people who had been forced to nod with constipated expressions, and said those words without changing her expression.
So what?
Although there was a slight mishap during the process, the result was good.
After all, physics is also about 'reason', so don't worry about too much, as long as we succeed, that's all that matters.
"..."
Gu Xia's method of persuading people with reason?
Ha, that's a real hellish joke.
Qu Yimian's lips curled into a mocking smile, but her expression remained exceptionally cold.
She was certain that Gu Xia was talking nonsense in order to distract her. After cursing "shameless" in her heart, she moved her fingertips as if to do something, but suddenly felt a chill creep up into her heart.
"Get out of the way, Gu Xia!"
As the boy's clear voice fell, Gu Xia also noticed the abnormality. She shattered another defensive magic artifact with a single sword strike, and then looked towards the source of the sound.
Amidst the eerie, ghostly aura, Gu Lanyi leaped into the air, a cold glint of light emanating from her fingertip aimed in that direction.
The Cangwu Bow landed in his palm, the young man's sleeves fluttering in the wind, yet he drew the bow and nocked an arrow with incredible speed, the bowstring gleaming coldly like a full moon.
The three arrows flew out with the force of thunder in an instant.
Gu Xia understood immediately, took a step back, and instantly got out of the range of the arrows.
Only Qu Yimian, looking bewildered, was left to face the sharp edge of the arrow.
The attack was already close in the scattering light, and the sound of air being torn apart easily rang in her ears. Her indifferent expression cracked for a moment, and she hurriedly dodged to the side, but Gu Xia kicked her back.
Ugh, that damn Gu Xia!
In her disheveled state, Qu Yimian didn't care about anything else, and didn't even have time to glare at her. Several sword energies flew out, trying to cut her off, but Gu Xia raised her hand and intercepted them.
The air temperature dropped to freezing point, but the three arrows still had a lock-on tracking effect.
The unspoken understanding between the two stimulated Qu Yimian, and an astonishing aura suddenly erupted from her.
