Chapter 1799: Chapter 1799: Join Forces to Surround Xuanyuan! (5/6)

None of the people present were fools who acted rashly.

A full hour had passed, and yet everyone remained rooted in place, motionless.

During this time, plenty of discussions were had—but none bore fruit. Every suggestion was either rejected outright or suspected to have ulterior motives behind it.

At this point.

Xu Yeming sat cross-legged on the ground, pulled out a table, some wine, and a batch of sunflower seeds personally prepared by his master.

He crunched on a few seeds, took a leisurely sip of his wine, and watched the group with an air of detachment.

The sound of cracking seeds immediately drew everyone’s attention toward "Xu Luo," their expressions filled with exasperation.

What now, you’re drinking?

Seeing the gathered crowd pause their discussion to look his way, Xu Yeming waved them off dismissively. "Don’t mind me, carry on."

Xuanyuan Zixi frowned at Xu Luo’s carefree demeanor and said disapprovingly, "You’ve still got time to drink in a situation like this? Young Master Xu, your mood’s quite cheerful."

"Why shouldn’t I drink?" Xu Yeming replied with a cheeky grin. "Watching you lot play these mind games—quibbling, scheming, too scared to be the first to take a swing—doesn’t this just scream for a drink?

If it weren’t worth drinking to, I’d have gone and cooked up a few extra dishes, maybe with some peanuts on the side. Sunflower seeds wouldn’t cut it."

As he finished speaking, he even raised his cup to them in a deliberately irritating toast.

Everyone here was sharp as a tack.

Hearing these words, who wouldn’t realize he was making fun of them?

Xuanyuan Zixi let out a cold laugh. "Since you’ve got so much to say, why don’t you tell us, Xu Luo, how you plan to solve our current predicament?"

Xu Yeming took another sip of wine, cracked open a sunflower seed as unhurried as ever, and responded with feigned confusion, "Me? What ideas could I possibly have? Not like you’d believe me anyway. You’d just say I had some ulterior motive. Why bother stepping into a mess I’d rather avoid?"

Of course.

Anything he came up with would inevitably benefit him to some extent.

The struggle over the Sun and Moon Token was an incredibly critical matter. None of these people would stomach even the slightest advantage going to someone else.

Xuanyuan Zixi sneered, "So after all that talk, you’ve got nothing to offer, just like the rest of us."

Xu Yeming arched a brow slightly. "When did I ever claim I had any bright ideas?"

Xuanyuan Zixi pressed on, "Then are we just going to let the Sun and Moon Token slip through our fingers?"

Xu Yeming shrugged nonchalantly. "Doesn’t matter to me. In the end, it’ll be mine anyway."

Hmm?

Xuanyuan Zixi couldn’t sit still after hearing that. He turned toward Xu Yeming and asked, "So it seems Brother Xu Luo already has a plan? But wouldn’t you say words like those are just a tad too overconfident? Do you think our Xuanyuan Clan doesn’t exist?"

Xu Chen also glanced at "Xu Luo" in bewilderment. However, he didn’t voice any objections. Judging by the current situation, securing the Sun and Moon Token through Xu Luo’s usual methods seemed impossible. Even with the Xu Family’s trump cards, it was equally unfeasible.

After all, the Xuanyuan Clan and the Seven Treasures Saint Sect were also here, and they weren’t pushovers either.

Unless... "Xu Luo" used his personal trump card.

But doing so would undoubtedly expose his true identity.

The choice rested with him.

Meanwhile, Huang Xin from the Seven Treasures Saint Sect and Han Daoxuan from the Star Palace inched subtly closer to Xu Yeming.

Hearing his earlier words, they were now convinced Xu Yeming was about to stir up trouble.

The others, too, stared at "Xu Luo" with tense gazes.

After all, he was the Xu Family’s heir.

When someone like that spoke as he did, it naturally demanded some respect.

Suddenly, Xuanyuan Zixi said, "We’re getting nowhere like this. We’ll need to come up with a resolution eventually."

His gaze shifted toward the Xu Family and the Seven Treasures Saint Sect, his lips curling into a grin. "What do you all think of this? We top factions should join forces and eliminate all of these other groups first."

The moment these words landed.

The crowd erupted into outrage, glaring at him in disbelief and fury.

After all, the vast majority present were the very "other groups" Xuanyuan Zixi referred to.

"Xuanyuan Zixi! Even if your Xuanyuan Clan is a Top Family, we are no sheep waiting for slaughter!"

"Open your eyes! With so many of us here, do you really think you can take us all down?"

Xuanyuan Zixi ignored their protests, turning instead toward Xu Luo, Huang Xin, and the others. He smiled and asked, "Well, my friends, what do you think of my proposal?"

Huang Xin shrugged. "Not much."

Then his gaze fell on Xu Yeming.

Xuanyuan Zixi followed suit, watching as "Xu Luo" cleared away the remains of his drink and sunflower seeds.

Hah, how meticulous, even cleaning up the seed shells.

Rising from his seat, Xuanyuan Zixi asked, "So, what does Brother Xu Luo say?"

Xu Yeming patted the dust from his robes, flashed Xuanyuan Zixi a toothy grin, and said, "Not much to say."

Then, turning to the angered crowd of other factions, he smiled. "If we’re taking Xuanyuan Zixi’s suggestion, why don’t we all join forces and get rid of the Xuanyuan Clan first?"

Trying to pull a fast one on him?

Xu Yeming had already figured out Xuanyuan Zixi’s identity—not to mention his intentions.

While it wasn’t impossible to unite and crush those lesser factions, doing so would require considerable effort and provide Xuanyuan Zixi an opening to sow chaos at a strategic moment.

Xu Yeming wasn’t about to let him succeed.

Xuanyuan Zixi’s expression darkened.

The other factions immediately responded, "I’ve got no objections!"

"Zong Ming Valley has no objections either!"

"The Qingtian Sect seconds that!"

"The Xuanyuan Clan has gone too far! Let’s take them out first!"

As a result, the Seven Treasures Saint Sect’s Huang Xin and the Star Palace’s Han Daoxuan released their full auras, their gazes fixed firmly on Xuanyuan Zixi.

Xuanyuan Zixi never expected this.

Xu Yeming had actually flipped his suggestion on its head.

Logically speaking, any sane person would have agreed to Xuanyuan Zixi’s plan.

After all, the lesser factions weren’t nearly as strong or well-resourced as the Top Factions. Their only advantage lay in numbers, so eliminating five of them first would have been the obvious move.

Then it would’ve been a straightforward battle between Huang Xin, Xu Chen, Xu Luo, Xuanyuan Zixi, and another Xuanyuan direct lineage disciple.

It was such a reasonable plan.

Or was it that this "Xu Luo" wasn’t a normal person?

Behind Xu Yeming, the illusory image of a glowing moon materialized. A chilling aura of Netherworld Qi surged forth, as though it came straight from the Nine Netherworld itself!

"Everyone, let’s work together! Unlike Xuanyuan Zixi, who only knows how to run his mouth, I’ll take the vanguard!"

As Xu Luo charged straight for Xuanyuan Zixi, the five others hesitated only briefly before rallying behind him, unleashing their full strength against Xuanyuan Zixi!

For these factions.

Taking out a direct heir of a Top Family in advance was a golden opportunity.

Huang Xin and Han Daoxuan also joined the charge against Xuanyuan Zixi.

Xuanyuan Zixi unsheathed his sword with a roar of fury. "Don’t blame me for not holding back!"

Though Xuanyuan Zixi wasn’t the most talented of the Xuanyuan Clan, he held the highest cultivation level among everyone present!

Late Stage of Monarch God Realm—a level of power he now revealed in full!
