Chapter 1179 - 1179: Like Superman?

If nothing else happened after the great battle, Liu Zixuan wouldn't be as anxious as he is now.

A rock larger than the Netherworld Hall fell on his head, really annoying, and at this moment he indeed needed to make some proper adjustments.

However, his adjustment would probably have to happen on the road.

Turning his head to look at Jiang Yiyi with a smile, he said, "There's no rush to return to Lingxiu Village. Let's rest here for a night. Tomorrow you'll come with me to the Profound Sword Sect. There are some questions I need to ask Elder Qing, and I might as well check on his injuries. If possible, I can help with the treatment."

Jiang Yiyi sighed, "I used to always think you were the kind of guy who's unreliable, but now you're so busy you can't stop at all."

"Can't be helped," Liu Zixuan pulled Jiang Yiyi into his arms, and said with a faint smile, "After all, your husband here is the man preparing to save the world!"

"Like Superman?"

"No, more like the most handsome Liu Zixuan in the world!"

"So shameless!"

The two laughed for a while, then Jiang Yiyi went to help prepare dinner, while Liu Zixuan walked to the side hall.

At this moment, besides Jiang Yunxuan and Tiger, Zhao Yi, Xiao Hu, and Gu Yu Mo Chengfeng were all sitting together.

Seeing Liu Zixuan come over, everyone first let out a sigh of relief, then started asking about the situation after Yudu.

Liu Zixuan did not hide anything and simply recounted the subsequent developments, including the Yudou Treasure.

"At that time, seeing Yunxuan hit by the scarlet sword, watching Tiger on the brink of death, and then seeing you killed by the Netherworld Emperor, I thought that was the end for us all."

Zhao Yi gave a bitter smile, "Luckily, it turned out to be a case of great danger followed by good fortune. Brother Xuan, you don't need to dwell on those matters anymore. The boat will naturally right itself when it gets to the bridge."

"To be honest, right now I wish I hadn't reached the Life and Death Realm, and even more, I wish we were just a group of ordinary people. That way, we wouldn't have to face all these annoying issues."

Liu Zixuan leaned against the head of the bed, squinting his eyes and muttering, "I had no intentions of vying for supremacy at all."

"The higher you stand, the farther you can see, but the responsibilities grow accordingly. Since we've reached this point, saying all that is useless," Gu Yu raised an eyebrow and said, "It might not necessarily be a bad thing. When we truly reach the peak, we might finally live a truly free life!"

Liu Zixuan spread his hands, "We'd need to survive until then."

"Brother Xuan, why are you full of negative energy now?" Usually reticent, Xiao Hu also spoke up.

"Just whining a bit with you guys."

Liu Zixuan took out a cigarette and lit it, "The few of you stay here and rest up, it's still calm for now."

"What about you?" Mo Chengfeng asked.

"I'm going out for a bit, heading to the Profound Sword Sect and then the Four Symbols Sect, and touring around to relax in the process!" Liu Zixuan said with a smile.

"Then we all stay here?" Gu Yu asked, frowning.

Liu Zixuan thought for a moment and said, "Zhao Yi, Xiao Hu, Tiger, and Yunxuan, the four of you stay here to recover. Gu Yu, you return to Lingxiu Village to oversee the situation, stay in contact with the Celestial Secret Pavilion and gather information from all over, including domestic and foreign Martial Realm situations, and report to me periodically."

"Okay!" The group nodded.

"Cheng Feng, you return to the Mo Family. That place remains crucial; keep an eye on the foreign Martial Realm situation. If outsiders come in, deal with it directly as a show of force. If you can't handle it, report it to the Jiang Family. Once Zhao Yi and the others are a bit better, they'll come to help you!"

Mo Chengfeng nodded, "No problem, I will absolutely make it the best defense in the shortest time."

"Even though it's rest, don't relax your vigilance. Once information about the Netherworld Hall spreads, some people will come to scout soon. If necessary, eliminate them directly."

"Don't worry, we will definitely do it!" Everyone promised.

Liu Zixuan touched his chin and looked at Xiao Hu, "Is there anything you need to say?"

Xiao Hu was stunned for a moment, "What should I say?"

"I feel like you might know something related to me, or perhaps to my family."

During the Yudu battle, Liu Zixuan overheard some of Xiao Hu's conversations with Zhao Yi and the others. He always felt that Xiao Hu's appearance was not so coincidental, as if someone had deliberately arranged his appearance at the Seven-Star Tomb.

Xiao Hu's gaze shifted twice, "I know very little, but Brother Xuan, your family behind you is very strong."

"I guessed that."

"No, your guess might just be that they're stronger than an average Hidden Sect, but in reality, they're stronger than Hidden Sects, even stronger than the Jiang Family."

"Is it a major family abroad?" Liu Zixuan asked.

Xiao Hu shook his head, "I don't know exactly where, but it's definitely not those overseas families. You should ask Qiqi."

"Qiqi..." Liu Zixuan gave a wry smile, "It seems that girl doesn't want to tell me."

"You've reached the Life and Death Realm now. I think it's time for you to know something," Xiao Hu said, scratching his head.

Liu Zixuan nodded, "You all rest now."

With that, he headed outside and dialed Qiqi's number at the door.

Soon, the call connected, and Qiqi's familiar voice came through, "Brother. Has the battle over there ended?"

"You probably guessed it."

"Brother would definitely win. Moreover, just as Qiqi expected, Brother has surely reached the Life and Death Realm now, right?"

"As expected, there're indeed many things you're hiding from me," Liu Zixuan teased with a laugh, "Earlier I asked you about the realms for creating a clone, and you were ambiguous. When I asked what's above the Emperor Realm, you didn't say either, yet now you mentioned them all."

Qiqi giggled, "I just didn't tell you about the realms, and you just brought up the clone thing yourself!"

"You little girl, you dare to play word games with me," Liu Zixuan said, exasperated, "Now, shouldn't you tell me some other things?"

"Sure, these are things Brother was meant to know," Qiqi said with a sweet smile, "But it's hard to explain on the phone. You should wait until you return to Lingxiu Village."

"I'm heading to the Profound Sword Sect tomorrow. I'll send you the coordinates later. You can come there to find me, and then we'll head south to the Four Symbols Sect together," Liu Zixuan said.

"Okay. I can adventure with Brother in the Jianghu again!"

Hearing Qiqi's happy voice, Liu Zixuan asked, "Is everyone alright?"

"Not so well."

"What happened?" Liu Zixuan asked anxiously.

"Everyone misses Brother a lot."

Several black lines appeared on Liu Zixuan's forehead instantly, "I thought something had happened. We'll see about teaching you a lesson when we meet..."
