Chapter 665: Solving Enmity

The bleached-haired young man glanced at his friend with a surprised expression. What he could not understand was that his friend, who had always been fearless, unexpectedly looked a bit pale. As he followed the direction of he was looking at, his sight then fell on Tang Xiu.

"Well, well, what a coincidence."

Tang Xiu himself looked unfazed and calm and spoke in a casual manner. He also did not expect to bump into an old acquaintance in such a remote place in the Western Region. More so that this acquaintance was one he once trashed miserably before.

The bleached-haired youth pointed to Tang Xiu and asked him, "Do you know this kiddo, Wang Hu?"

The stocky Wang Hu hesitated for a moment before finally nodding. The fear and alarmed expression he had was then replaced by resentment. Tang Xiu once trashed him back when he was with a group of scions in Li Xueming's Regent Amusement Clubhouse in Jingmen Island. The reason was because of the princess of the Ouyang Family, Ouyang Lulu.

That time, he got beaten and kicked out of Jingmen Island—the biggest shame and humiliation he had ever had since his childhood till now. Although his Wang Family was very powerful in the Northwest Region, it was not that powerful in Jingmen Island, more so that the Ouyang Family was more powerful than his Wang Family, hence settling the account with the Ouyang family was evidently not realistic.

However, he vividly remembered the guy who trashed him back then, Tang Xiu. He had always been hoping that he would encounter this punk again to wipe off this shame, but never did he expect that he would bump into him in this place. He also didn't expect that his first feeling when seeing Tang Xiu again would unexpectedly be fear.

It was because of this fear that he felt deeply humiliated and disgraced.

After hearing the question from the bleached-haired young man, Wang Hu resentfully replyed while glaring at Tang Xiu, "He's my mortal enemy!"

The bleached-haired youth rolled his eyes and snappily said, "Then why don't you kill him directly since he's your enemy? This place is remote and desolate, it would be easy to dump a corpse and obliterate all traces."

Wang Hu's face slightly changed, then was replaced with pleasant surprise since what his friend said was right. One could kill someone and casually dump the body in some remote place to rot and turn into mud in the Western Region, while the chance of being discovered would be close to nil. He knew that Tang Xiu's personal combat strength was very formidable, but his friends who came here with him were all experts from the Xuan House. He could ask any of these experts and casually pay them; they probably had countless ways to kill Tang Xiu.

As he thought up to there, Wang Hu took a step forward, glared at Tang Xiu and coldly shouted, "You never expected that you'd bump into me here, did you, Tang punk? The road to Heaven is fucking there yet you don't take it, for you always head toward Hell though there's no road to it, huh? I, Wang Hu, guarantee that you will pass through that door fainted today."

Tang Xiu could not restrain himself as he laughed and said, "Well, you still remember my threat last time, eh? Was leaving the place fainted so miserable for you? Don't tell me a dog can't stop himself from eating shit—just like your bad habits are hard to change? Do you want me to give you another good lesson?"

Wang Hu grinned hideously and said, "Surnamed Tang, have you heard the words that anyone who can change in a short period of time deserves to be treated differently? This father is now a member of Xuan House, so it's fucking easy for this father to kill you now even though you have a bit of ability in kung fu."

A member of the Xuan House?

Tang Xiu slightly furrowed his brows as cast his eyes on the bleached-haired young man and said lightly, "And who are you?"

"Xuan Yugu," said the bleached-haired young man proudly.

"Never heard of you," replied Tang Xiu nonchalantly.

Xuan Yugu's face changed as he glared at Tang Xiu and scowled, "You are courting death!"

"What audacity!"

The owner of the hunting ground, Gesangjor, suddenly grabbed the hunting knife on the side and stabbed it on the table, as he immediately got up and loudly said, "I don't give a fuck to what kind of resentment exists between all of you. Shortly put, this place is my hunting ground and everything must be played according to the rules of my hunting ground. You are not to have a private fight in my place unless you all sign the Life and Death Pact and go to the back of the forested mountain."

"Gesangjor, it's best for you to avoid trouble whenever possible, for fewer troubles mean that you can live a bit longer," said Xuan Yugu coldly.

Gesangjor slammed the table. He picked out a black ornamental thumb ring on his right thumb and quickly put it on his left hand's thumb, as he then growled in anger, "I may have dreaded if those words were spoken by the Patriarch of Xuan House, but who the hell is a little brat like you to dare to say those words, huh? Do you not believe that I can tear open your dog's mouth?"

Black ornamental thumb ring?

With contracted pupils, Xuan Yugu staggeringly stepped backward. There was a consensus among those in the Strange Doors lineage that the black ornamental thumb ring could only be obtained by the most powerful sect masters or clan patriarchs who were recognized by all forces under the Strange Doors lineage. He originally thought that Gesangjor was only an ordinary man, but it turned out that the man was unexpectedly someone like the Xuan House, and the most important thing was that he was also one of the strongest, leaving him unable to believe it.

However, Wang Hu just became a member of the Xuan House for a short time and was naturally unaware of this matter. Nevertheless, he could faintly guess that Gesangjor might have a special identity upon seeing Xuan Yugu's unusual response. And yet, he had no fear since his enemy was not Gesangjor. He then quickly came to Xuan Yugu's side and whispered to him, and after getting his consent, he looked at Tang Xiu and sneered, "Surnamed Tang, I believe you also heard the words spoken by the owner of this hunting ground. Let's sign the Life and Death Pact if you have the balls and have a fight to the death in the back of the mountain. Whoever loses will leave his life there, and the winner will come out of that place alive! Do you dare?"

"Brother Tang…"

Finally, Jie Walie somewhat regretted bringing Tang Xiu to the hunting ground. Tang Xiu would not have met his enemy had he not brought him here.

"Brother Jie, it's a personal enmity between me and him, so you should just watch the show! I will sign this Life and Death Pact, but shouldn't you explain how the rules are played?"

Wang Hu had yet to speak when Xuan Yugu spoke with a sullen face, "Three men from both sides will play the game and enter the back of the mountain to fight to the death. It's fine whether you use guns or blades, but the victor can only come out from the back of the mountain if the three men from the opposite party die."

"Alright, I'm in."

Tang Xiu got up straightly. He looked at Gesangjor and said with a smile, "Brother Gesangjor, I'll have to trouble you to take us to the hunting ground armory. After all, we're going to play some killing games with them, so if we don't choose some weapons while in passing, we would be sinners if we can't come back and continue accompanying you drinking."

Gesangjor squinted his eyes and shot a deep gaze at Tang Xiu. After which, only then did he pull up his hunting knife and loudly replied, "Things have gotten to this point, so let's go to the armory. And you, Xuan brat, didn't you want to rent a crossbow and its bolts? Follow me and no one will fight it over with you."

Half an hour later, Tang Xiu brought a hunting rifle he picked from the armory and stood at the entrance of the hiking trek. The hills in the back were not too high, the highest peak was only a hundred-plus meters high. For signing up the Life and Death Pact, he took Mo Awu and another expert and then trekked the hiking trail.

A few meters in front of them, Wang Hu and Xuan Yugu were standing side by side, followed by a middle-aged man holding a two-handed saber. The middle-aged man's looks were ordinary, but the aura he emitted out was very strange, and Tang Xiu could not hear his breathing if he did not focus his hearing on it despite his high cultivation.

At this time, the guests who came to the hunting ground and were invited from the back of the mountain now arrived at the place was close to 100 people.

Tang Xiu himself was quite surprised since he found some unusual issues. One of which was that two people among them he had seen participating in the underground auction in Beijing. One of them even competed with him on an item. The rest of them mostly had abnormal auras, while some wore the amulets he crafted.

It seems that most of these people are from Xuan House. Only, there are so many people from Xuan House gathered here, what exactly is their purpose? secretly thought Tang Xiu.

"Alright, TO THE MOUNTAINS!"

Gesangjor apparently knew the identity of the middle-aged man behind Xuan Yugu, and there was even a bit of dread on his face when he looked at him. The man sighed inwardly and his expression when he looked at Tang Xiu was filled with pity. For an ordinary person, however formidable his martial arts was, encountering people from the Strange Doors lineage would probably leave him falling in his own blood.

He could tell something: the chance of Tang Xiu surviving was close to none.

He was not the only one who thought so, but even the nearly 100 people from Xuan House who obviously knew who Xuan Yugu was were looking at Tang Xiu like he was dead already.

"What a pity! A respectable young divine doctor does not stay honest to practice his medicine skills and give medical treatment, and even unexpectedly provoked the people from the Xuan House. This is akin to courting his own death!"

"Yeah, this time Tang Xiu is dead. Take a look at the man beside Xuan Yugu. He's the Hall Master of the Serenity Sect's Justice Hall. I heard that he had a fortuitous encounter and, coupled with the secret technique of Serenity Sect to concoct medicine to temper his body, it is said that his body is nearly invulnerable. I've seen him in mortal combat, he's very strong. I don't know who can deal with him, unless it's those old monsters from the Strange Doors."

"It's just stupid! He challenged people from the Strange Doors. He's just looking for his own death."

"Oh…"

With his keen hearing, Tang Xiu could clearly hear their comments even though their voices were low and some distance away from him. He inwardly sneered at them, but he maintained unperturbed expression on the surface as he led Mo Awu and his comrade to trek on the mountain pathway.

Ten minutes later, Tang Xiu stood on a big tree and calmly observed for the slightest sign of disturbance from the wind and grass in the surroundings. He had never looked down on anyone and took whoever he would face seriously, for he had seen too many occasions where people ended up miserable due to unexpected things.

"They are coming."

After seeing the flash of a shadow in the distance through the gap between the twigs, Tang Xiu pointed toward that direction and said, "Awu, keep the life of that two brats and bring them here to see me. As for the other man, kill him!"

Mo Awu nodded and his figure instantly vanished.

In the forested mountain hundreds of meters away, Xuan Yugu and Wang Hu looked very relaxed, like they were enjoying the beautiful scenery nature presented them. They occasionally glanced around with vigilance. But the middle-aged man beside them was particularly vigilant, and the slightest disturbance would alert him.

Whoosh, whoosh…

A blurry figure flashed before the eyes of the trio as the sharp blade of a dagger swept past Wang Hu and Xuan Yugu's right wrists, causing the guns in their hands to fall amidst the splattering blood.

"GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!"

The middle-aged man's face changed greatly as he raised the two-handed saber in his hands in panic and ferociously faced the shadowy figure. He slashed it, and the blade hacked down with a whooshing sound.


But at this time, a hand was already strangling him.

Chapter 666: Plot

As the Justice Hall's Master of the Serenity Sect, the middle-aged man was the first of the strongest five in the entire Hidden Sect. It was especially due to his metal-like body that even a gunshot would not be able to pierce his skin. However, at this moment, he actually felt that a great danger that could claim his life was looming over him, arousing fear and shrouding his whole heart.

"How can this be?" The middle-aged man did not dare to move in the slightest for fear that the opponent would break his neck with a little force, since he could feel that the big hand grabbing his neck was like an iron pincer.

Stab…

A sharp dagger easily pierced his heart. The moment the tip of the dagger impaled his heart, the pain was such that it sent the middle-aged man toward full despair. He could not understand why. He had a formidable body he was always proud, and yet an ordinary knife could stab him? There was no way an ordinary knife could pierce his skin!

Mo Awu twitched his dagger and stared at Wang Hu and Xuan Yugu who were screaming miserably, and sent the middle-aged man's body flying with a punch. Then, he said with a cold expression, "If you dare to bend your waist again I guarantee that your right wrist will not be the only thing slashed."

Wang Hu and Xuan Yugu froze and glanced at their guns that had fallen on the ground, as a chill then ran through their hearts. They never expected that such a powerful "bodyguard" was so easily defeated. Judging from his back that was dyed red with blood, the man's heart should have been stabbed and he probably could not live anymore.

It's over! The duo was filled with desperation and intense regret.

Without wasting more time, Mo Awu flashed in front of the duo, grabbed both of their necks and quickly brought them to Tang Xiu's front, throwing the duo like they were garbage. Then, he said, "The task is accomplished, Boss."

Tang Xiu nodded in response and then looked at Wang Hu and Xuan Yugu, who were on the ground. He smirked at them and said, "So, now you know the fate of wanting to play with me, yes? You have signed a Life and Death Pact, so even if I kill you, it is what is supposed to be."

Wang Hu, who was currently struggling to get up from the ground, had his expression greatly changed after hearing Tang Xiu's words. His body trembled so violently that he fell to the ground again. Xuan Yugu, however, had a bit of courage as he stepped backward after he got up and shouted with some fear on his face, "Surnamed Tang, you cannot kill me!"

"Oh?" Tang Xiu let out a mocking smile and ridiculed, "And why can't I kill you? Is it because you're someone from Serenity Sect?"

"You know the Serenity Sect?" Exclaimed Xuan Yugu in an alarmed expression as his pupils contracted.

Suddenly, he seemed to have realized something all of a sudden and shouted again, "Since you know the Serenity Sect, then you must know its strength. I'm the son of the Sect Master of the Serenity Sect, and also his only son. The entire Serenity Sect will become your enemy if you dare to kill me."

"What about him? Who's he?" Asked Tang Xiu while pointing to Wang Hu.

As if having his courage bolstered, Xuan Yugu puffed his chest and answered, "He's a newly received disciple of the Elegant Chess Saintess, someone from the Strange Doors lineage like me. You should have heard about Elegant Chess Saintess too, right? She's the elder sister of the Jin Family's patriarch who has reached perfection in the Ancient Divination Art and the Art of Invisibility. Killing us will be equivalent of provoking both the Jin Family and the Serenity Sect."

"My man dared to kill the Justice Hall's Master of your Serenity Sect, do you think I will be afraid of the Serenity Sect?" Tang Xiu rolled his eyes and sneered. "And who the heck is the Jin Family, to begin with? I never heard of them, either. Alright, no more shit talk. I can spare your puny life, but you must answer some questions."

Xuan Yugu was born with a golden spoon and had been living a spoiled and extravagant life, and had everything going his way all his life, so how could he accept such humiliation today? Under his young master's temper, he angrily shouted, "Stop acting like a pretentious prick! You've killed my Serenity Sect's Justice Hall's Master, this enmity will never be written off if you can't fork out enough compensation. But if you dare to kill me… Aaaaaargh…"

"Are you threatening me?"

Tang Xiu looked at him like he was an idiot and moved his wrist, as the Bloodguzzler Dagger then instantly cut off his entire left arm. Amidst his screeching, Tang Xiu then looked at Wang Hu and indifferently said, "Now you tell me. Why are there so many people from the Strange Doors lineage here? What is their purpose?"

Wang Hu watched in horror as Xuan Yugu's arm was cut off, and then answered in a trembling voice, "It's because of an Immortal Trove left behind by Daoist Tu Yan after he departed his mortal coil."

An Immortal Trove left by Daoist Tu Yan after his death?

Tang Xiu knitted his brows and asked, "Who is this Daoist Tu Yan?"

"I don't know, my Master did not tell me." Wang Hu shook his head. "She just brought me here and told me to stay in the hunting grounds."

"What about your Master?" Asked Tang Xiu once again.

"I don't know about it, either." Wang Hu shook his head again. "Only the seniors in the Strange Doors lineage know the exact location of this Immortal Trove. Hence, a lot of seniors went there but we are to stay here."

Tang Xiu nodded. It was something related to a Immortal Trove, so it was normal for someone with such an identity as Wang Hu to not know about it. It would be strangely abnormal if his master told him about this otherwise! Following that, his gaze then fell on Xuan Yugu and coldly said, "Tell me the location of this Immortal Trove. You have two choices now. Speak and you live, or die with your mouth shut."

As of now, Xuan Yugu was truly scared. He thought that Tang Xiu was bluffing a while ago, but now he no longer thought so anymore, he thought that Tang Xiu was a ruthless and merciless bastard. He did not want to die yet. His springtime of youth was great; he had countless wealth and he would also inherit the position of Sect Master of the Serenity Sect in the future. There would be nothing left if he were to die now.

Furthermore, a lot of experts of the Serenity Sect went to the Immortal Trove site. Even if he told Tang Xiu where it was, what he could do there? He would probably be besieged by the group if he dared to go there, and there would only be one road ahead for him- Death!

"Okay, I'll speak. It's in Longquan Bay."

Longquan Bay?

Tang Xiu was taken aback. He had just come from Longquan Bay not long ago, how did he not encounter anyone from the Strange Doors? Furthermore, Western Nefarious Sangha's nest was in Longquan Bay area. If those people from the Strange Doors entered Longquan Bay, wouldn't he be the first person to notice them?

****

At the present moment, in Longquan Bay.

Western Nefarious Sangha's eyes were bloodshot as he kept brandishing his long cane knife furiously. After he pushed back and divided dozens of people from Strange Doors who were besieging him, countless hidden weapons attacked him in turn.

"Burst out…"

An old voice sounded, as countless hidden weapons were coming by, a sea of flames broke out and enveloped Western Nefarious Sangha in an instant. Although the Raging Flame talisman charms only posed a slight threat to him, his body was still hit by various hidden weapons in order to rush out of the sea of flames.

"FUCKING BASTARD!"

As Western Nefarious Sangha patted his waist, the two Bloodthirsty Chiropterans rushed out and turned into two lump of flames that flushed toward the enemies. At this moment, however, eight shaky and frail-looking old men, all of whom smelled like they were decaying from head to feet, rushed lightning fast and cast a huge net at the same time. After ingenious coordination, eight nets were cast and opened, overlapping with each other. With wonderful mobile pace and footwork, the blazing flame tide from the two Bloodthirsty Chiropterans was extinguished.

Squeak, squeak…

Screams came out from the two Bloodthirsty Chiropterans' mouths. They desperately struggled but could not escape the shrouding nets. Even their steel-like bodies were cut, opening bleeding wounds along with their struggles.

"YOU DAMNED BASTARDS!"

Western Nefarious Sangha's complexion greatly changed and his figure instantly appeared in front of the eight old men and hacked his long cane sword toward them.

"Shield…"

The expression of the eight old men turned solemn. At the same time as they started chanting they gathered together. After chanting the same word at the same time, four men gathered both in front and back, as they pulled out a strange shield from their waist and assembled it into a two meters long and a meter-wide large shield in the blink of an eye, blocking the heavy hack from Western Nefarious Sangha's long cane sword.

BOOM…

Those eight old men spurted out blood and their bodies flew backward at the same time, while Western Nefarious Sangha's pupils contracted as he put away the long cane sword. There was a muffled voice coming out from his mouth, yet he remained silent and forced himself to swallow the blood that gushed out from his throat.

"That should be a magic tool. How come you bastards from the Strange Doors have such a magic weapon?" roared Western Nefarious Sangha in anger. He was very chagrined inside, because more than half of 48 people who had gathered here had already acted to fight him, while also sacrificing three magic tools in the process.

Hahaha…

A laugh like the sound of a bell came from a kilometer away as Golden Armored Zombie flew over lightning fast and then appeared in front everyone in just a few breaths.

"I warned you that you would never be able to keep that Immortal Trove for yourself, Nefarious Sangha. I've already guessed that such a day would come since those two freaks stole the record about this Immortal Trove sixty years ago. I just don't understand one thing, though. You had your life under his control, and yet you did not tell him about this Immortal Trove. Why?" Said Golden Armored Zombie in a loud and clear voice.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" yelled Western Nefarious Sangha angrily. "I didn't tell him because I have my own reasons. He does control my life and death now, but as long as I open the entrance to this Immortal Trove, will I still have to worry about not being able to break his seal? Golden Armored Zombie, don't forget the deal between us. Whoever dares to set their eyes on this Immortal Trove, then you must collaborate with me to protect it!"

"I haven't forgotten about that. But that soon-to-die old hag Grandma Shipo hasn't appeared yet. Don't tell me she died on the way here?"

"Old cadaver, it's you who's going to die. This old woman is unlikely to die!" As the sharp voice of a woman fluttered in, a woman who looked to be in her 20s came flying down on a rosy cloud.

Western Nefarious Sangha's spirit rose as he laughed loudly, "Hahaha, the three of us finally got together. I really don't know who gave these fucking bastards from the Strange Doors the courage to cast their eyes on our Immortal Trove. Don't tell me those two bastards who stole the Immortal Trove's map in the past told them who we are."

"Yeah, it was us who told them indeed."

An ethereal voice, like it was coming from nothingness, was heard. Two old men riding on flying swords came, as one of the old men behind with an Immortal appearance and bearing appeared to follow behind Grandma Shipo in the blink of an eye. They glanced at the 48 people from the Strange Doors with happy expressions and immediately shifted their sights to Western Nefarious Sangha's group of three.

"Well, well. It's been 60 years since we have seen each other, yes? Did you all miss us?" spoke one of the old men with a warm smile. His left arm was broken, whereas his perfect right arm had a little green snake encircling it.

After seeing this two old men, Western Nefarious Sangha looked furious as he shouted, Jin Sanchi, Jin Sijie, you two fucking damned sons of a bitch! How the hell are you not dead yet?"
