Xu Xin was really weak.
Even if he was not an existence that everyone could bully in the circle, his strength made it impossible for him to be a ruthless character that others feared.
Liu Xiaojiang could easily see through this living '36 Thieves' with just a glance.
Putting aside the Tang Sect's Dan Shi, the old man standing in front of him was not even as strong as the surrounding Tang Sect disciples.
Weak, too weak …
Liu Xiaojiang looked at the thin old man standing in front of him. Considering Tang Miaoxing's' little abacus', he could not help but activate his innate observation method again — the Blood Pupil.
Xu Xin's weakness could not be hidden at all.
However, such a weak old man could give Tang Miaoxing the confidence to keep him in the Tang Sect forever …
Liu Xiaojiang knew that Tang Miaoxing's biggest reliance was the Tang Sect's ultimate technique that Xu Xin had mastered — the Dan Shi.
Tang Miaoxing was not confident in Xu Xin, but in the powerful technique passed down by the Tang Sect that could be said to be invincible.
Because of the Dan Shi, he believed that even a weak guy like Xu Xin was the most likely person in the Tang Sect to kill Liu Xiaojiang!
"Sorry?"
Liu Xiaojiang sat on the ground and looked at Xu Xin, who was like a withered tree. Then, he shook his head calmly and said,
"Senior Xu Xin, aren't you a little too confident?"
"I admit that Danshi's reputation in the past was indeed frightening. I also admit that it might be a powerful technique. If not, you bunch of old men wouldn't be like this today, trying to pass it down regardless of the cost …"
"But …"
Liu Xiaojiang immediately raised the Qi in his body to the limit. In addition to the red light that accompanied the use of the blood pupil in his eyes, he also began to gather a kind of light that was almost solid.
"Although it's a little arrogant to say this, but … I'm very strong."
Hearing this, Liu Xiaojiang's eyes seemed to be surging with light under the mask.
Xu Xin did not doubt the authenticity of these words. "Oh, only when you really want to fight with someone will your eyes shine with that kind of light that only Qi Practitioners have. Returning to one's natural state … Kid, you're not bluffing me."
"However …"
Xu Xin did not seem to be in a hurry to fight with Liu Xiaojiang, nor did he immediately use the legendary Dan Devour. Instead, he looked at Liu Xiaojiang who was sitting on the ground with interest and said:
"Kid, I've heard your conversation with my Senior Brother and I don't doubt that you're interested in what happened back then. But before we start, I have a question …"
"Please speak." Liu Xiaojiang sat on the ground and raised his hand. "If it's possible, I don't mind answering your question. After all, I still have to ask you about what happened back then."
"Okay …" Xu Xin nodded with a smile, then slowly said,
"My question is …"
"Brat, you clearly know that the Devouring Pill is very dangerous, and you even guessed that the Tang Sect wants to use it against you. Why do you still insist on asking me about the Devouring Pill? Why do you care so much about the Devouring Pill?"
Liu Xiaojiang suddenly frowned slowly. He looked at the old man in front of him and did not speak for a long time.
"Is this question difficult?" Xu Xin smiled and shook his head. "Well … I'll ask another question."
"Kid, my Senior Brother told me about the Lyu Family not long ago. He said that it was very likely that you did it. You also admitted it during the conversation just now."
"I want to ask …"
"Is your purpose of coming to the Tang Sect this time the same as your purpose of going to the Lyu Family before?"
"…" Liu Xiaojiang.
…
Liu Xiaojiang went to the Lyu Family Village to investigate the congenital supernatural ability, the Ming Soul Skill, and to confirm the connection between the Lyu Family and the Green Touring Village incident. He wanted to find out the instigator behind the Green Touring Village incident and get to know more about the inside story of Jia Shen and the Eight Strange Skills.
At that time, he did everything for the sake of Duangyi.
Now,
Liu Xiaojiang came into contact with the instigator behind the Green Touring Village incident and learned about the existence of Duangyi from the other party.
So, until now, not only did he know who had Duangyi, but he also knew the relationship between Duangyi and the Ming Soul Skill.
Everything Liu Xiaojiang did now was no longer purely for Duangyi. It was more for himself and the people around him to be truly free and unfettered in the future.
He became the leader of Duangyi, came to the Tang Sect to investigate the incident back then, and even tested the Tang Sect's unique skills. Even his various actions in the Tang Sect after that were only the first stage of the whole plan — to gain the trust of the company and the higher-ups.
And if he wanted to gain the trust of the company and the higher-ups.
Liu Xiaojiang had to fulfill the agreement with Zhao Fangxu. Even if he was in Duangyi, he had to maintain the same philosophy as the company. When he did things, he had to consider more for the stability of the world.
What was the philosophy that the company had always insisted on?
Stability!
The stable development of the Mutant circle and even social order!
Therefore, under this philosophy and rules, they had to find a reasonable way to resolve matters like the Riot of the Jia Shen and the Eight Strange Skills. They were determined not to let the Mutant circle experience the same chaos as before.
Liu Xiaojiang, Zhang Chulan, and even others who wanted to investigate the chaos back then … could do so!
After all, it had been many years since the Riot of the Jia Shen. Even if it was uncovered again, it wouldn't cause too much trouble. Zhang Chulan and the others wanted to investigate some inside stories because of their own family matters, and the company and the higher-ups could maintain an understanding attitude towards this matter.
However, they couldn't make a big deal out of it. This was the attitude of the higher-ups and also the company's bottom line.
However,
The Eight Strange Skills were different. In this day and age, the existence of these things was unreasonable and a source of chaos at any time.
Liu Xiaojiang understood the attitude of the company and the higher-ups towards the Eight Strange Skills.
Therefore, in the future, after understanding all the inside stories and using the Eight Strange Skills to achieve his goal, he first had to ensure that the Eight Strange Skills had to be completely destroyed in this generation!
As for the Tang Sect's Pill Devour …
Liu Xiaojiang was confident that he wouldn't die from the Pill Devour because of the existence of the Yinggou.
The reason why he came to the Tang Sect to experience the Pill Devour was also from the perspective of seeing it as an existence on the same level as the Eight Strange Skills.
If the Pill Devour was indeed powerful and could be said to be invincible … then from a certain perspective, wouldn't it be almost the same as the Eight Strange Skills?
Moreover …
Now it seemed that the Pill Devour was an extremely dangerous thing, whether it was to others or to the Tang Sect itself.
In the end, if the Pill Devour could continue to be passed down, the Tang Sect could rely on this to restore its former prosperity. However, this prosperity to the current stable social order … Wouldn't it become another hidden danger?
In the end, if the Tang Sect didn't succeed in passing down the Pill Devour due to the danger, but still lost their lives because of it one after another … Wouldn't the Tang Sect's success and failure be because of the Pill Devour?
Wouldn't it be better to live peacefully?
In this era, they had to talk about the prosperity of the eccentric sects …
Liu Xiaojiang understood the Tang Sect's past experiences and also learned about the Tang Sect's righteous actions back then from Er Zhuang.
Not only did he not have any other opinions about the Tang Sect, this eccentric sect, because of the righteous act of the Tang Sect back then, he would even look up to this sect that was slightly 'crooked' in the eyes of the Dao Sect because of this sect's righteous act.
But it was also because of this.
Liu Xiaojiang didn't want to see the Tang Sect become an unstable factor in the eyes of the higher-ups because of the Pill Devour in the future. He also didn't want to see the Tang Sect completely decline because of the Pill Devour.
After all, if it was only this decline now, the Tang Sect could still exist peacefully and have a certain amount of authority in the eccentric circle.
If it became an unstable factor in the future, if it completely lost to the Pill Devour's legacy in the future …
Therefore, as long as he confirmed that the Pill Devour was unsolvable.
Liu Xiaojiang's attitude towards the Tang Sect's Pill Devour was basically the same as his attitude towards the Lv Family's Soul Enlightening Technique …
…
On the stone platform …
Tang Miaoxing suddenly heard Xu Xin's question and couldn't help but look at his junior brother thoughtfully. Then, he focused his attention on Liu Xiaojiang again.
On the other side …
Xu Xin saw that Liu Xiaojiang didn't speak for a long time, and it didn't seem like he wanted to answer his question, so he shook his head and sighed:
"Sigh … I see. You don't want to answer? I understand. It's just that … it's a pity for a talent like you."
Hearing this …
Liu Xiaojiang instantly withdrew from his thoughts and looked at the skinny old man who looked like a withered tree.
"Senior Xu Xin, it might be rude to say this, and it might offend you, but if it's really for the Tang Sect, you … really shouldn't have survived back then."
"… Hey, you're really smart." Xu Xin didn't get angry when he heard this. Instead, he grinned and said:
"It's a pity that I was not only wrong back then, but I also made consecutive wrong choices. Now, I can only do my best to make up for it …"
"Even if the Sect Leader's order is wrong?" Liu Xiaojiang looked at Tang Miaoxing, who was on the stone platform in the distance.
"I'm a disciple of the Tang Sect." Xu Xin nodded.
"That's true …" Liu Xiaojiang shook his head in a rare self-deprecating manner. "If it wasn't necessary, who would consider other people? Saints … It's so damn tiring to live."
"Hey …" Xu Xin's eyes flashed with a hint of admiration. He said, "Kid, I'll say it one last time. You'd better …"
"Senior Xu Xin, let's do it." Liu Xiaojiang shook his head and interrupted.
"Sigh …" Xu Xin shook his head regretfully and said, "That's right.
"Then … be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Liu Xiaojiang found that the atmosphere in the scene suddenly stagnated. The skinny old man who looked like a dead tree didn't move, but he suddenly gave off an inexplicable and extremely distorted sense of threat.
This was the first time he had felt such a strange and distorted sense of danger in a fight.
Or rather …
This was the first time Liu Xiaojiang felt threatened by someone other than the Celestial Master!
Seeing this …
Although Liu Xiaojiang was still sitting on the ground and didn't dodge, intending to personally experience the true power of the Pill Devour, he couldn't help but gradually condense the black gas outside his body.
The next moment …
The distorted threat emanating from Xu Xin's body disappeared in an instant, and even Liu Xiaojiang's blood pupil lost part of its effect.
At this moment …
Liu Xiaojiang raised the ability of his blood pupil to the limit, and his eyes even turned blood-red because of it. However, he found that other than the distorted way of Qi circulation in the other party's body, he couldn't sense anything from the other party at all.
There was no aura, no emotions, and it was abnormally silent …
If he couldn't see the flow of Qi in Xu Xin's body, he would even suspect that the other party was already dead!
Da!
Xu Xin's bare feet made a subtle sound on the ground, but it affected Liu Xiaojiang's entire mind, which was under observation.
Da … Da … Da …
Liu Xiaojiang watched as Xu Xin walked towards him step by step. However, he realized that even though the other party had already moved, he still looked like a dead person.
Then …
Even though Xu Xin looked extremely strange …
Even though this old man had already arrived in front of him …
Liu Xiaojiang was still sitting on the ground without moving, patiently waiting for the other party to use the Tang Sect's ultimate assassination skill — Pill Devour.
The next second …
Xu Xin moved.
The old man, who looked like a dead tree, raised his arm without warning in front of Liu Xiaojiang. His five fingers closed into a knife and quickly stabbed toward Liu Xiaojiang's neck.
Seeing this …
Although Xu Xin's movements were fast enough, perhaps because it was too sudden or because the assassin's attack was too accurate, Liu Xiaojiang still reacted to this attack. It was still a completely subconscious conditioned reflex.
Liu Xiaojiang instantly turned his head to dodge Xu Xin's stab. He reflexively wanted to punch back, but he remembered the fact that the old man's strength was weak, so his fist stopped in front of the other party's face in time.
But even so …
Liu Xiaojiang's fist was mixed with a huge wave of wind, but it still 'pushed' the old man in front of him a few meters away.
At the same time …
Liu Xiaojiang also sensed that there seemed to be some invisible things around him that were desperately drilling into his body.
Moreover, the black gas that he had set up in advance did not react at all. It allowed the invisible things to penetrate the air barrier and gradually merge into his body through his skin.
Then, in just a few short breaths …
The black gas around Liu Xiaojiang instantly dissipated into the air. He sensed that he had been hit by the Tang Sect's Pill Devour. He immediately closed his eyes slowly and began to pay attention to the condition of his body.
On the other side …
Xu Xin got up from the ground shakily.
He saw that Liu Xiaojiang, who was not far away, seemed to be suppressing the poison gas of the Pill Devour. After confirming that the Pill Devour he had set up had successfully hit the target, he could not help but shake his head and sigh again:
"Sigh … what a pity …"
Tang Sect's Pill Devour!
Anyone who touched it would die!
There was absolutely no solution!
Although this was an all-rounded sect leader, he was obviously a good seedling with great ambitions … He was dead for sure!
