NOVPUB"Where there are people, there is strife," Chi Qianxue said indifferently, "Those two fellows are named Yang Chi and Chi Xing.
That Yang Chi originally was the strongest contender for the position of our family’s Saint Heir.
If it wasn’t for my bringing back news of the Spring of Life, I might not have been able to surpass him."
"Oh, so he holds a grudge against you," Xu Zimei shook his head with a wry smile and said, "That’s quite troublesome, excessive concessions are meaningless.
Killing him in one fell swoop is the best solution."
Hearing Xu Zimei’s words, Chi Qianxue gave him a glance and said, "We are all part of the same clan, we don’t need to resort to life and death struggles unless absolutely necessary."
......
Watching Chi Qianxue’s disappearing figure, Chi Xing looked at Yang Chi with some bewilderment and asked, "Brother, why did you speak up for her just now?"
"How do you still not understand?" Yang Chi looked at Chi Xing helplessly and said, "She’s not the same as she was before, she is now our Chi Family’s Saintess.
In terms of status alone, we are all beneath her."
"So what, does she really dare to kill me?" Chi Xing asked curiously, "Brother, don’t you hate her?"
"Hate her? I wish she would die right now," Yang Chi said indifferently, "But there are things you can do behind the scenes and think whatever you like in your heart, but you mustn’t carelessly voice them out.
You’ve followed me for so long, how can you still be so naive?"
Hearing Yang Chi’s words, Chi Xing fell silent for a moment, then said, "I just can’t stand it, she’s already become the Saintess, this is our last chance.
If we wait for her to accept the inheritance of our ancestors, then she will truly be unshakable."
"Of course I know that, I wouldn’t make a move without absolute certainty," Yang Chi said with a light chuckle, "But now, isn’t the opportunity upon us?"
"You mean the man by her side?" Chi Xing quickly caught on, his eyes lighting up as he asked.
"Right, think about it, if our Chi Family’s Saintess is rumored to be involved with a man of unknown origin, how would our family deal with it?" Yang Chi said in a low voice with a faint smile, "The power of rumors is the most terrifying. Once this news spreads throughout Heavenly Pool City, our family won’t sit idly by."
"I’ll go spread the rumor in secret right now," Chi Xing said eagerly.
Yang Chi nodded and replied, "Also, you can tell those few in the family who are eyeing the position of Saint Heir, they definitely won’t miss this opportunity.
And take this news to Chi Yu."
"Chi Yu," hearing this name, Chi Xing exclaimed, "That’s right, how could I forget that martial fanatic? He is an absolute supporter of Chi Qianxue.
If he finds out Chi Qianxue is involved with someone else, he will tear that man to pieces."
Watching Chi Xing leave high-spirited to spread the rumor, Yang Chi chuckled quietly and muttered to himself, "Little brother, I’m sorry to have to use you."
.........
Chi Qianxue brought Xu Zimei to a secluded courtyard.
She said indifferently, "You can live here from now on."
Xu Zimei walked into the courtyard, which had three houses.
Beside the courtyard grew a purple katam tree, its withered leaves piled thickly on the ground.
Stepping on the dry leaves, they made a succession of "crackling" sounds.
He opened the door of a house, and it looked very clean inside. Although it had been uninhabited for a long time, it was obvious that someone often came to clean it.
Watching Chi Qianxue leave, Xu Zimei also returned to his room.
At this time, Xu Zimei’s cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the Esteem Vein Realm, and all he needed next was to gather the Mysterious Yellow Qi to completely perfect the world within his body, then manifest his True Fate, and advance to the Emperor Pulse Realm.
A long time ago, Xu Zimei cultivated exclusively from his previous life’s "Sole Great Freedom Jue".
This cultivation technique focused mainly on the past and the future. It was only after the Chaos Pearl took Xu Zimei through the River of Time and condensed the True Fate World within his body
that Xu Zimei realized the path he had previously taken was merely a trivial part of the vast River of Fate.
Later, by using the World Pearl and the Chaos Pearl to condense his True Fate World, Xu Zimei finally completely abandoned his previous cultivation technique.
At this moment, he had truly embarked on a different path.
"Creation!"
It was an unprecedented path, one not even a Great Emperor had tread—a Martial Path to Heaven.
There were no abundant experiences, nor were there forebears to reference.
Xu Zimei was unaware of what the future held; he was like a trailblazer, forging a path that others wouldn’t even dare to conceive.
The True Fate World inside him operated as usual, with the Chaos Pearl being the foundation of this world.
The River of Fate marked everything in its flow, but his current True Fate World remained particularly quiet, with hardly a creature existing within it.
Xu Zimei also knew that the world, being imperfect now, was fundamentally incapable of sustaining life.
…
In a secluded courtyard of the Chi Family, the "rumbling" sound echoed from within.
Chi Xing walked into the courtyard and saw a young man, shirtless and with a giant rock on his back, vigorously exercising.
What was truly fearsome was not the giant rock the young man carried on his back, but the iron rings on his hands and feet.
These iron rings were Gravity Rings, inscribed with Gravity Formations.
Once the formations were activated, the gravity could affect the entire body.
At this moment, all four Gravity Formations on the young man’s body were activated, and despite carrying a giant rock on his back, he did not seem fatigued at all. On the contrary, his training was vigorous and forceful.
"Yang Chi, you’re training, huh," said Chi Xing as he walked over with a smile.
"If you have something to say, say it. Don’t dawdle," the young man looked up and spoke indifferently.
"It’s nothing much. I just overheard some rumors about Chi Qianxue in the clan and wanted to discuss them with you," replied Chi Xing with a smile.
"What happened to Qianxue?" The young man’s brows furrowed as he placed the giant rock behind him on the ground.
A "boom" sounded as the rock hit the ground, creating a shallow pit and kicking up clouds of dust.
"I just heard about it too. They say Chi Qianxue brought a man home and they went into her room together, not coming out for a long time," Chi Xing said with a chuckle: "They say that when the man came out, his clothes were disheveled.
Tut-tut, the morals of society are declining, and people’s hearts aren’t what they used to be."
"You just can’t bear to see Qianxue in the position of Saintess and want to drag her down," the young man looked at Chi Xing and scoffed: "It was your brother who sent you, wasn’t it?"
"No, not at all. I just couldn’t stand it and wanted to talk to you about it," said Chi Xing hastily: "You tell me, you love Chi Qianxue so much, and you treat her well, yet she...
Yang Chi chuckled softly, grabbed Chi Xing by the neck with one hand, and with spiritual energy surging around him, said faintly: "I will meet that man.
But don’t treat others like fools, thinking to make me your pawn, you’re not qualified for that."
