Chapter 375: They… Can’t Come Anymore.

Li Hanyi did not expect Yu Xian to say that, and the corner of her mouth twitched.

“Forget it, let’s go back.” Li Hanyi saw that everyone was staring at them, and they weren’t from just one faction. Knowing that continuing on wouldn’t yield any more discoveries, she suggested they return to the Inn to rest.

Surely no one would easily attack them now.

“Good.” Yu Xian expressed no objection.

So the two returned to the Inn and rested separately.

The next day, the Lei Family Fortress Hero Banquet was about to begin, and guests were arriving one after another.

Yu Xian and Li Hanyi were not in a hurry to participate, instead staying at the Inn. However, Yu Xian went to Li Hanyi’s room to stay with her, under the pretext of being together to deal with sudden incidents.

What sudden incidents could there be? Li Hanyi silently grumbled in her heart.

She had realized long ago that Yu Xian just wanted to linger in her room, but she couldn’t very well kick him out. Regarding the matters of the Lei Family Fortress, she might still need Yu Xian’s help.

At the Lei Family Fortress, Lei Qianhu of the Lei Clan was greeting guests at the main gate, but he kept waiting for the guests from Xueyue City in vain. Instead, guests from the Tang Sect arrived. The procession was quite grand; the Old Master of the Tang Sect came personally, causing the entire Lei Family Fortress to become vigilant.

Subsequently, the banquet began without waiting for the people from Xueyue City.

Mu Yumo, the head of the Mu family from the Dark River, used the Thousand Spider Formation combined with the Tang Sect’s specially made poison, Immortal Mist Dew, to quietly taint the banquet’s wine.

As expected, after drinking the poisoned wine, the attending guests from various factions fainted and lost their ability to resist. Seeing this, the Lei Family Fortress Master, Lei Qianhu, noticed that the Old Master Tang Xuance was safe and sound, standing beside the people from the Dark River. Only then did he realize that the Tang Sect had long colluded with the Dark River, their goal being to annihilate the Lei Family Fortress.

At this critical moment, Lei Hong arrived in time to provide support. Tang Xuance threw out ten King of Hell Tablets to launch an attack, which Lei Hong blocked twice with the Gentleman Sword.

On the other side, Lei Qianhu fought alone against Tang Huang, Tang Xuan, and Mu Yumo. Ignoring his old injury from the cold affliction, he forcefully activated the Nine-Layered Five Thunders Heavenly Gang Fist, not only repelling Tang Huang and Tang Xuan but also severely injuring Mu Yumo with one palm strike.

“A fight has broken out. Let’s go. If we don’t hurry, the Lei Family Fortress will be gone,” Li Hanyi picked up the Iron Horse Ice River, preparing to head to the Lei Family Fortress.

“Good.” As he spoke, Yu Xian pulled Li Hanyi into his arms again and directly soared into the air, flying toward the Lei Family Fortress.

“Actually, I can walk there myself.” Li Hanyi was full of helplessness. Yu Xian was always like this, holding her and leaving without a word!

She was the dignified Snow Moon Sword Immortal! Yet, when going out, she had a private chauffeur! Ha…

“Don’t you think we look both dashing and incredibly fast like this?” As soon as Yu Xian finished speaking, the two of them had already arrived on the roof of the Tang Family Fortress.

Li Hanyi secretly grumbled in her heart: Dashing and fast? He just wanted to take advantage of her openly! Don’t think she didn’t know.

However, she didn’t have time to argue with Yu Xian now.

The fight inside the Lei Family Fortress had already become chaotic.

Lei Hong was locked in a fierce battle with Tang Xuance. As Sword Qi crisscrossed, the surrounding tables and chairs shattered.

The people of the Tang Sect saw this and surrounded them, intending to attack together.

Although Lei Qianhu was injured, he still resisted tenaciously, grappling with Tang Huang and Tang Xuan. His fist winds were fierce, each strike carrying the might of thunder.

Mu Yumo lay severely wounded on the ground, yet he struggled unwillingly, trying to get up.

Li Hanyi, holding the Iron Horse Ice River, her sword light flickering, fought alongside Lei Hong against Tang Xuance. For a time, Sword Qi, palm winds, and fist energy intertwined within the Lei Family Fortress, making the scene incredibly chaotic.

Yu Xian did not make a move. He was only protecting Li Hanyi; the matters of the Lei Family Fortress had nothing to do with him.

He stood on the roof, scanning the battlefield, searching for any existence that might pose a threat to Li Hanyi.

Suddenly, his eyes sharpened. He noticed Tang Xuance secretly gathering power during his exchange with Li Hanyi and Lei Hong, seemingly preparing to launch a fatal blow.

Yu Xian moved in an instant, appearing beside Li Hanyi. He raised his hand and unleashed a fierce palm wind, interrupting Tang Xuance’s buildup and forcing him back several steps.

“Hmph, trying to ambush Hanyi? You’re courting death!” Yu Xian snorted coldly, his gaze fixed coldly on Tang Xuance.

Tang Xuance stabilized his figure, looking grimly at Yu Xian, secretly wary in his heart. He hadn’t expected Yu Xian’s strength to be so formidable, capable of interrupting his attack so easily.

“Who are you? Why meddle in others’ affairs?” Tang Xuance asked in a deep voice.

“Meddling? Anyone who dares to strike Hanyi dies!” Yu Xian responded with a cold laugh. Immediately, the Nine Revolutions Celestial Skill circulated, and the Gentleman Sword appeared, instantly transforming into countless Gentleman Swords that shot straight toward Tang Xuance.

Tang Xuance’s face changed drastically. He quickly employed the Tang Sect’s ultimate skill, his hands fluttering as Hidden Weapons shot out like raindrops, attempting to block Yu Xian’s attack.

However, Yu Xian’s Gentleman Sword was infinitely variable; the Hidden Weapons could not get close.

Seeing the situation was unfavorable, Tang Xuance flashed his figure, trying to dodge, but Yu Xian’s sword was faster, instantly piercing his robes and leaving several bloody gashes on his body.

Tang Xuance was terrified. He hadn’t expected that he, the dignified Old Master of the Tang Sect, would end up so pathetic in front of a young man.

He gritted his teeth and shouted into the air, “At this point, aren’t you going to make a move?!”

But the only response was silence.

Yu Xian smiled faintly and asked, “Are you calling for the two heads of the Dark River and the two hall masters of the Under Heaven Society? I’m sorry, they… can’t come anymore!”

Yesterday, when he saved Li Hanyi, he had already severely wounded Su Changhe and Su Mu Yu. It would be strange if they could show up now. As for Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, he injured one, and the other fled. Knowing he was here, why would they appear?

Therefore, Tang Xuance’s plan was doomed to fail.

“What? You… you killed them?” Tang Xuance wasn’t a fool. Seeing Yu Xian’s demeanor, he knew that the people sent by the Dark River and the Under Heaven Society had likely already been dealt with by the young man before him!

Yu Xian smiled but did not answer.

Tang Xuance knew that with Yu Xian present, and with no one from the Dark River or the Under Heaven Society reappearing, the tide had turned against him. But he was unwilling to give up!

Suddenly, Tang Xuance pulled out a black Medicinal Pill from his robes and swallowed it in one gulp. In an instant, his Aura sharply increased, and an evil Aura emanated from his body.

Yu Xian frowned, sensing that Tang Xuance’s Aura had become bizarre.

“Hmph, no matter what tricks you have, they are useless in front of me.” Yu Xian spoke, launching another attack. The Nine Revolutions Celestial Skill circulated to its extreme, and the Gentleman Sword shone brightly, splitting toward Tang Xuance like a bolt of lightning.

Tang Xuance roared, gathering a ball of black Qi in both hands to meet Yu Xian’s sword.

“Boom!” With a deafening sound, the collision of the two streams of Qi generated a powerful shockwave, causing the surrounding buildings to collapse and dust to fly everywhere.

Tang Xuance was shaken back several steps, his eyes filled with disbelief.
