Chapter 70

Two figures shot down from the sky and landed outside the door. One of them was Xu Tianci, who had just left, and standing behind him was someone who looked very similar to him. The imposing aura was emanating from this person.

As soon as Xu Tianci landed on the ground, he shouted into the hall, "Xu Ziyun, come out here!"

Xu Ziyun stood up from her seat and slowly walked out of the door, looking straight ahead. She ignored Xu Tianci and fixed her gaze on Xu Tianyang. Her heart couldn't help but stir:

"Third stage of the Qi Condensation realm?"

She frowned slightly and thought to herself, "I'm afraid I can't win him with my current cultivation. Do I have to reveal my true strength for this? But... I can't back down at this moment!"

As soon as Xu Ziyun stepped out of the hall, Xu Tianyang's eyes lit up. On that day in the central square, he was far from Xu Ziyun and was part of Xu Tianlang's camp, so he didn't approach her and didn't get a good look at her.

Now, seeing her up close, her beauty made his heart race. Xu Tianyang was different from Xu Tianci; Xu Tianci valued talent, but he was a lecher. However, when he saw Xu Ziyun's cold, fearless gaze, he immediately snapped out of his infatuation. He coldly snorted and focused his aura in one direction, pressing it towards Xu Ziyun.

Feeling the sharp aura, Xu Ziyun smiled inwardly and thought to herself:

"Comparing auras? This is what I'm least afraid of right now!"

She also focused her aura in one direction and countered Xu Tianyang with the pressure of the fourth stage of the Qi Condensation realm.

Between Xu Ziyun and Xu Tianyang, a silent vortex appeared, swirling the snow on the ground. Xu Tianyang felt a suffocating pressure, making it hard for him to breathe. Shocked, he quickly examined Xu Ziyun more closely, but the more he looked, the more puzzled he became:

"She's only at the eleventh stage of the Later Heaven realm! Why do I feel like I'm facing someone with higher cultivation?"

Xu Ziyun looked at Xu Tianyang coldly, her eyes flashing with cold light. At this moment, she hoped that she could make Xu Tianyang wary with her aura, so she could resolve the current predicament without revealing her true strength. Of course, this would leave others with doubts, but it was better than revealing her cultivation in public.

Xu Ziyun's strong stance made Xu Tianyang even more confused. In his eyes, Xu Ziyun became mysterious. As a third-stage Qi Condensation cultivator, he firmly believed that Xu Ziyun was not at the eleventh stage of the Later Heaven realm; otherwise, she wouldn't have such a strong aura.

However, he wasn't afraid. Although he seemed slightly weaker in aura compared to Xu Ziyun, aura didn't represent true strength. Xu Tianyang believed that if they fought, he wouldn't necessarily lose to Xu Ziyun. But the mysterious feeling Xu Ziyun gave him made him somewhat cautious. If a third-stage Qi Condensation cultivator like himself fought for too long with someone who appeared to be at the eleventh stage of the Later Heaven realm, it would be embarrassing, even if others didn't say anything.

He slowly withdrew his aura while thinking about how to respond. Seeing the other side start to withdraw, Xu Ziyun also gradually withdrew her aura, but her beautiful eyes remained fixed on Xu Tianyang.

Xu Tianyang kept thinking. Although his brother was defeated by Xu Ziyun, he wasn't injured. He just needed to save face. Surely Xu Ziyun wouldn't refuse him completely? At worst, he could let Xu Ziyun have a share in the dissolution of the Plum Blossom Gang.

Thinking this, Xu Tianyang looked at the opposite side. Suddenly, his gaze paused as he saw Xu Hualing standing behind Xu Ziyun.

Xu Ziyun was beautiful, but she was clearly a rose with thorns. Xu Hualing, on the other hand, was different. She was only at the ninth stage of the Later Heaven realm, and although her face wasn't particularly beautiful, her figure was exquisite. Standing there gracefully, she was in her early twenties, dressed in mourning clothes, her face filled with sorrow, looking frail and delicate.

Her delicate face, like a petal just blooming, was dewy and frosty, exuding an indescribable charm and allure. Xu Hualing blushed under Xu Tianyang's gaze and lowered her head slightly. Xu Tianyang reluctantly withdrew his gaze, having changed his mind. He cleared his throat, straightened his expression, and said to Xu Ziyun:

"Xu Ziyun, right?"

"Yes!" Xu Ziyun replied coldly, not yet aware of Xu Tianyang's change of heart.

"I am Xu Tianyang, a disciple of the Inner Hall."

"Nice to meet you, Senior Brother!" Xu Ziyun bowed slightly.

Xu Tianyang nodded slightly and said kindly, "You're here about the Plum Blossom Gang, right?"

"Yes!" Xu Ziyun frowned slightly, feeling puzzled.

"The Plum Blossom Gang doesn't have to be dissolved, and the matter with my brother can be overlooked. However, there is one thing I need to discuss with the Plum Blossom Gang, and you cannot be involved."

These words caused not only Xu Gan, Xu Wen, and Xu Tianxiao to change their expressions, but even Xu Tianci's face turned ugly.

"Discuss?" Xu Ziyun was taken aback and asked, "Just discuss?"

"Of course!" Xu Tianyang nodded firmly.

"Alright!"

Xu Ziyun nodded and stepped aside, wanting to see how Xu Tianyang would handle the discussion. If it wasn't fair, she didn't mind facing him again. Since she had already stepped forward for the Plum Blossom Gang, she couldn't back down. Besides, she wouldn't lose; she would just reveal her cultivation prematurely.

Seeing Xu Ziyun step aside, Xu Tianyang was very pleased. He looked at Xu Hualing and said softly, "Is this junior sister a disciple of the Plum Blossom Gang?"

Xu Hualing was taken aback by the question, not knowing why Xu Tianyang was addressing her, but she bowed deeply and said softly, "Yes, Senior, I am a disciple of the Plum Blossom Gang."

"Ha ha ha..." Xu Tianyang smiled warmly and said, "No need for formalities, just call me Senior Brother!"

Xu Hualing was taken aback again, and Xu Tianci, standing behind Xu Tianyang, looked even uglier. He now understood what his brother was thinking. He knew his brother's nature well, but he didn't dare to say anything, just turning his face away in anger, thinking sadly:

"Alas! It seems my face is lost today!"
