Chapter 561 - Turning the Tide, Turning the Tables

n
nEveryone was dumbfounded.
nEven though there were a few people who could still keep up with Lan Ling and Yu Zhiwen’s rhythm, as well as their judgment.
nBut when the sentence “I am Xu Xiaoshou” really popped out from the mouth of the Second Brother of the Saint Servant in an extremely absurd tone.
nNo one dared to believe it anymore.
nThey didn’t know whether to laugh or cry!
nThis was simply a ridiculous conclusion that made people not know whether to laugh or cry!
nThe Second Brother of the Saint Servant!
nThe person standing in front of him was the Second Brother of the Saint Servant, Sleeveless!
nA peerless existence who could escape from the hands of the Wuyue Sword Deity more than ten years ago and even dared to fight Gou Wuyue alone more than ten years later.
nAs for Xu Xiaoshou..
nEveryone knew that he was an innate expert.
nNo matter how powerful his side-effects were, such as Master Physique, Master sword intent, spiritual array, cauldron explosion, magic pill technician..
nAt the end of the day, he was just a mere innate expert.
nHe could still put on an act.
nAura, foresight, courage, big picture, and so on..
nCould he do it?
nCould he really put on an act?
nYu Zhiwen was able to calmly deduce in the midst of the war between the Sovereign and the Cutting Path, and she was able to state her views in an orderly manner. This had already amazed all the red-robed.
nHowever, this was something that she, as the direct disciple of Dao Xuanji of the Holy Divine Palace and the second on the Heaven Rollcall of the Path Division, could only have if she had an extremely rich background and resources.
nAll of this was enough to allow her to maintain a trace of calmness in such a situation.
nShe could stand up and say a few words without her legs trembling.
nIn this world, how many young people had such backgrounds and resources?
nAnd who was Xu Xiaoshou?
nA junior who had only taken a few months to grow from the Tiansang Spirit Palace to his previous realm.
nYes!
nHis talent was good!
nBut what about his horizons and knowledge?
nHow could he hide from the Storyteller and suppress everyone in the situation of the Sovereign’s throne and the Cutting Path, making everyone keep it a secret?
nThere was a 10,000% possibility..
nImpossible!
nAmong the red-robed crowd, Lan Ling was laughing crazily in a low voice.
nShe had also understood and understood this point.
nThere were too many mysteries. If it really came down to the root point…
nEverything had already been explained.
nNot to mention Xu Xiaoshou, it was impossible for him to have such strength.
nTaking ten thousand steps back, if he really pretended to be the second son of the Saint Servant.
nWould the Storyteller, who was also a Saint Servant, not be able to see it and allow him to scold him?
nHe was at the peak of Cutting Path!
nHe was a peak powerhouse who had transcended the Nine Death Thunder Calamity!
nIf she could doubt Red-robed, how could she doubt the Saint Servant’s family?
nHow could he doubt that such a powerful expert would cooperate with Xu Xiaoshou, who he had never even heard of, to act in the arena?
nImpossible!
nIn conclusion.
nThe starting point of the previous deduction was wrong in itself.
nAnd any deduction based on a wrong starting point, which was like self-deception, was at best just self-justifying.
nWhen a certain point couldn’t be justified.
nHe could only go back and watch.
nThen he would find..
nA complete mess!
nThe existence of the Storyteller had already proved everything!
n“Zhiwen…”
nLan Ling smiled bitterly.
nShe had let this girl down too much.
nAt the same time, she had placed too much trust in this girl.
nNo matter how outstanding she was or how big her background was, she had rushed over from the headquarters of the Holy Divine Palace to assist.
nYu Zhiwen’s mission was only to help crack the ‘thirty-six heavens sealed array’. “…”
nNo one had ever said that..
nEven the higher-ups of the Saint Servant had never said that she, Yu Zhiwen, could play a controlling role in the battles of the high-end bureau.
nIf they really encountered a big battle…
nYu Zhiwen was only a child!
nLan Ling didn’t blame her own thinking for being misled by Yu Zhiwen step by step.
nShe only hated herself for assigning such an important mission to that little girl because she was from the headquarters of the Holy Divine Palace, allowing her to solve the situation in front of her that even she herself couldn’t solve.
nAnd the ending..
nThe word “Run” finally ended all delusions!
n..
n“Second Brother…”
nThe storyteller looked at his second brother who was laughing crazily and even wiping his tears.
nTo be honest, the panic in his heart was no less than Lan Ling’s.
nHe had never seen Second Brother lose his composure like this. He couldn’t even stop laughing. This was simply..
n“Am I crazy? What on earth am I doing?”
n“Just because of a few words from that little girl in Red-robed, you’re suspecting my Second Brother?”
n“No matter how outstanding that Xu Xiaoshou is, can he be like my Second Brother, like he’s carved out of the same mold?”
n“Even twins can’t be like this, right?”
n“Ability, appearance, behavior, demeanor…”
nThe Storyteller pressed on his chest and retreated step by step.
nLuo Leilei’s voice seemed to still be in his ears, but this time, he directly blocked it.
nNo one could imagine what the completely crazy Second Brother would do next.
nHe didn’t even dare to be distracted!
n“Second Brother, you…”
nThe Storyteller swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty, “Are you okay?”
n“Cared, passive points 1.”
n“I’m fine…”
nXu Xiaoshou panted and waved his hand. When his breathing became smoother, he seemed to come to his senses and said, “Sigh, I’m fine, I’m fine. What can happen to me, Xu Xiaoshou?”
n“Even you guys are subdued by me. Is there anything in the world that I, Xu Xiaoshou, can’t do?”
n“Doubted, passive points 19.”
nThe corner of the Storyteller’s mouth began to twitch.
n“Second Brother, take it easy. No, don’t do anything rash. Xu Xiaoshou and the others are joking!”
n“Those people…”
nHe pointed at the scattered Red-robed and sneered, “Ordinary fools, there’s no need to lower themselves to their level.”
n“Yes.”
nXu Xiaoshou nodded and met his gaze. He said solemnly, “But with you, we really need to experience it, don’t we?”
n“He…”
nThe Storyteller was speechless.
nHis hair stood on end. He almost blew up the ancient book space and ran for his life.
nBrother, save me..
nSecond Brother wants to kill me!
n“Heehee, Heehee…”
n“He is not, he is not…”
nThe Storyteller’s eyes rolled quickly and focused on the Cardinal Wheel in Second Brother’s hand. He suddenly had an idea. He changed the topic and said,
n“Wasn’t she scared by your Cardinal Wheel?”
n“This thing wasn’t said by that little girl. It was on that Xu Xiaoshou?”
nXu Xiaoshou sighed deeply. “Whatever Red-robed says, you’ll believe it… Storyteller, that’s what you mean, right?”
nThe legs of the Storyteller went soft.
n“Feared, passive points 1.”
n“That’s not what I meant!”
nHe explained in a panic, “It’s because what they said was too real. I, I…”
nHe turned around and swept a glance at the dazed Lan Ling.
nAt this moment, the Storyteller truly realized that he had been led by the nose by Red-robed’s attitude earlier.
nLook at Lan Ling.
nThis loss of composure meant that they had also realized the reality — could this person in front of them not be that so-called Xu Xiaoshou faking it?
nIf that was really the case, then what was there to doubt!
nThis was the second brother who was truly standing in front of them.
nBut just because of a few words from Red-robed, he had doubts about him?
nAt this moment, the Storyteller was really going to die from his stupidity.
nHe wished that he could slap himself a few times to dispel the hatred in his heart.
n“Then this Cardinal Wheel…”
nAlthough his heart was shrinking, the Storyteller also understood that at this moment, he must not let the second brother’s attention be on him.
nOtherwise, he would definitely use him to vent his anger.
nShifting his gaze, he asked him where the Cardinal Wheel came from. That was right… the Storyteller had an idea.
n“So, you also obtained it from that Xu Xiaoshou?” The Storyteller evaded his gaze and asked.
n“I’m really going to be laughed out of my mind by you guys.”
nXu Xiaoshou flipped his hand and retrieved the Cardinal Wheel. As he followed his breath, he shook his head and sighed, “I did meet a junior earlier, but I don’t know him.”
n“The Cardinal Wheel wasn’t my intention.”
n“These things…”
nXu Xiaoshou sighed. “I’m not interested at all.”
nRed-robed and the others were stunned.
nIf you’re not interested, why are you taking it?
n“Belittled, passive points 12.”
nNot even interested in the Cardinal Wheel?
nLan Ling suddenly realized that she had overlooked an important factor in all her deductions.
n“A coincidence!”
nWhat if Xu Xiaoshou and the Second Brother of the Saint Servant met in this small White Cave?
n“Impossible.”
n“There can’t be such a coincidence.”
n“Unless the Second Brother of the Saint Servant personally went to find Xu Xiaoshou and snatched the Cardinal Wheel from his hands.”
n“But this is also a suspicious point.” Lan Ling’s thoughts spun wildly.
n“The Saint Servant, Sleeveless, should be an alchemist. He wouldn’t be interested in the Cardinal Wheel. I can tell from what he said just now.”
n“He didn’t find Xu Xiaoshou because of this…”
nLan Ling didn’t have time to feel guilty.
nShe cast her gaze on the Storyteller who was deep in thought.
nAlthough there was a hint of fear in her eyes, she was still waiting for an answer that could be acknowledged.
nIf even the storyteller knew why the Second Brother of the Saint Servant wanted to find Xu Xiaoshou and not the Second Brother of the Saint Servant’s explanation..
nThen his previous deduction was a joke.
nBecause the last crucial factor was that Xu Xiaoshou was dead!
nThe Second Brother of the Saint Servant had gotten everything from him!
nSo, what could it be?
nIt would cause a peerless expert to target a mere innate expert who was as insignificant as an ant?
n..
nThe Storyteller was also confused by the Second Brother’s words.
nHe pondered for a long time.
nSuddenly, the scene he saw in the spirit fusion swamp appeared in his mind.
nWhen he rushed to that place, the icy realm had already collided with the aura of flames and exploded.
nBut at that time, everyone was looking for the ‘Three Days Frozen Calamity’.
nEven he was attracted by the ‘Three Days Frozen Calamity’.
nAfter all, the Infernal Original Seed on the other side was a ghost that he didn’t want to come into contact with. Those juniors were even more helpless.
nBut!
nAt that time!
nOn the eve of the second explosion, although the scene flashed by, he still saw an obscure figure jump out from the Infernal Original Seed’s direction.
nIt was Xu Xiaoshou!
n“So…”
nThe Storyteller’s eyes lit up, and he suddenly slapped his forehead, causing cold sweat to spray out.
n“Stupid!”
n“I’m really stupid to the extreme!”
n“This wave…”
nThe Storyteller was so ashamed that he almost buried himself in the spatial crack.
nNo one dared to touch the Infernal Original Seed. Because Xu Xiaoshou had obtained a bit of luck from his Second Brother, he dared to search for it and even dug it out.
nLater on, Xu Xiaoshou and the Seal Ghost Beast came out of the ancient book’s space. He didn’t feel any infernal aura from the Seal Ghost Beast either.
nThis meant that the Infernal Original Seed had landed on Xu Xiaoshou.
nAnd no one dared to touch the Infernal Original Seed, which they feared like thunder.
nTo Second Brother, it was a great tonic!
nWhen he had gone to look for the ‘Three Days Frozen Calamity’, he had also thought that if he could get the Infernal Original Seed, he might be able to help Second Brother recover from his previous injuries?
nNow, Second Brother himself had entered the White Cave.
nFeeling the power that came from the same source as his own, coupled with the battle with that guy surnamed Gou, his vitality was greatly damaged and he urgently needed to be replenished.
nUnder such circumstances, would he not look for the so-called Infernal Original Seed?
nAnd the Infernal Original Seed was on Xu Xiaoshou’s body..
nAt this moment, Second Brother had also obtained the Cardinal Wheel.
nDidn’t this mean..
n“It’s very simple!”
nThe Storyteller hugged his head and squatted down in mid-air.
nHe was about to cry from his stupidity!
nWasn’t everything very simple?
n“So Second Brother, you sensed the aura of the Infernal Original Seed, found Xu Xiaoshou, and took something from him?”
n“Along the way…”
nThe storyteller raised his head with tears in his eyes. “Along the way, you also recovered from your injuries?”
nBoom.
nHearing this, Lan Ling felt weak all over. She staggered and fell into Xin’s arms.
nWrong.
nAll wrong!
nSo the last factor really wasn’t a coincidence.
nThe Second Brother of the Saint Servant came to find Xu Xiaoshou only because of the same source of power and the Infernal Original Seed. It was only because he urgently needed to recover from his injuries after the battle with the Wuyue Sword Deity?
nSo, he swallowed the Infernal Original Seed on Xu Xiaoshou?
nLan Ling felt that her heart was breaking.
nAt this moment, her worldview seemed to be crumbling, collapsing, and it was difficult for it to take shape again.
nNight Guardian’s heart suddenly tightened.
nAccording to this deduction..
n“Xu Xiaoshou is dead?”
n“Doubted, passive points 1.”
n..
n“Is it difficult to understand?”
nXu Xiaoshou, who was in mid-air, could not help but laugh. “Isn’t this obvious?”
nHe was silent for a moment.
nHe looked at the completely silent crowd.
nXu Xiaoshou realized that he had lost Yu Zhiwen.
nEven Lan Ling, who had been completely misled by the word “Run” and could not get back on track, had completely lost her judgment.
nNo one present could use their brains.
nThe Storyteller had thoughts.
nThe Night Guardian also had thoughts.
nHowever, their thoughts weren’t really thinking in terms of the overall situation. They simply couldn’t control the arena.
nAt the very most, their thoughts could only be considered to be battle thoughts.
nIt was the kind of battle thoughts that could subtly grasp a certain detail in a battle and turn the tides of the battle.
nThe arena was controlled by two leaders, Yu Zhiwen and Lan Ling.
nXu Xiaoshou said bluntly.
nNo one in the arena was a match for him!
nHe pondered for a short while. After the crowd managed to recover their emotions, he slowly flipped his hand.
n“Hum –”
nIn an instant.
nNot only did the Fourth Sword in his other hand tremble, even the sabers in the red-robed were trembling non-stop.
n“Famed sword, Flame Python!”
nNight Guardian’s eyeballs popped out.
nAt this moment, the second Saint Servant took out the Flame Python that was constantly struggling and trembling.
nHe was the one who gave away the ownership in the name of the Red-robed and gave it to Xu Xiaoshou’s famed sword — Flame Python!
n“So…”
n“Xu Xiaoshou…”
nThe light in Night Guardian’s eyes dimmed.
nHe had indeed seen Xu Xiaoshou’s upright character and admired him greatly.
nBut at the same time, he could also predict it.
nAccording to that fellow’s temperament, if he were to develop on his own, there would come a day when he would encounter an external force that he could not resist by relying on his own strength.
nAnd for a person like Xu Xiaoshou, to put it bluntly, he would rather die than submit!
n“So…”
nNight Guardian shook his head, still in disbelief.
nHe had expected the outcome.
nBut he had never expected that just because of such an accident, just because the second son of the Saint Servant had entered the White Cave, he had also coincidentally fallen in love with the Infernal Original Seed.
nXu Xiaoshou was 10,000 steps ahead of him and encountered that kind of force majeure!
n“What’s wrong with him?”
nNight Guardian took a step forward and unconsciously asked.
nThere was even a hint of killing intent in his words.
n“Received concern, passive points 1.”
n“Him?”
nXu Xiaoshou glanced at the information bar and turned around with a light smile.
n“Very impressive. Didn’t that little girl just say that Xu Xiaoshou is his friend? He can even teach her a lot of things.”
n“What I’m asking is…” Night Guardian’s heart was filled with anger, and he said unceremoniously, “What did you do to him?”
n“He also has a lot of things.”
nXu Xiaoshou’s reply was not right. He weighed the famed sword and Flame Python that was constantly “Resisting”. He turned to look at the Storyteller and smiled, “Another famed sword, an unexpected gain.”
n“Yes, yes, yes…”
nThe Storyteller nodded like he was pounding garlic.
nHis intestines were turning green with regret.
nEven the matter of his brother wanting to collect the famed sword was still remembered by his second brother.
nWhy did he have to provoke this big trouble?
nStoryteller, are you crazy to suspect Second Brother?
nYou’re simply sick!
n“Second Brother, so that Xu Xiaoshou… is dead?” The Storyteller asked weakly. He did not dare to change the topic at all.
nWhen he saw the meaningful look in Second Brother’s eyes, he felt that his neck was very cold, very cold..
n“He’s not dead.”
nXu Xiaoshou smiled and kept the famed sword in his ring.
nNight Guardian’s heart suddenly relaxed, and even his breathing unconsciously calmed down a lot.
nThen.
nHe saw the Second Brother of the Saint Servant straighten his straw hat and added, “I said he’s not dead, can anyone still believe me now?”
nKa.
nThis time, the Night Guardian’s body stiffened and his face turned as white as paper.
n“Glared at, passive points, 1.”
n
