Chapter 909: Chapter 909: The Day I Leave the Mountain Will Be the Day Your Clan Is Wiped Out

Gu Huaqiu’s actions, to ordinary people, might seem like a choice, but for Liu Zixuan, it’s a dead-end!

He isn’t a heartless or unreasonable person. Although he only recently met the little witch Xiaoxiao, he doesn’t dislike her; in fact, he has some fondness for her.

Setting aside personal feelings, in such a situation, Liu Zixuan could never just stand by and do nothing!

First, obtaining the Nether Fire Stone from the Profound Sword Sect to rescue the beautiful master means he owes the Profound Sword Sect a favor.

Second, both Elder Qing and Sword Venerable Ling Xiao have been kind to him, so if he ignores Xiaoxiao, how could he face those two in the future?

Be it for public or private reasons, Liu Zixuan could not choose the first option.

If Xiaoxiao weren’t hanging by a cliff edge but was on the cliff itself, Liu Zixuan is confident he could protect her while killing Gu Huaqiu.

But right now, Xiaoxiao’s life depends on a whim of Gu Huaqiu, and Liu Zixuan can’t act rashly.

Even though he’s at Half-Step Emperor Realm, and has the mysterious and unpredictable Shadow Body Technique, he can’t be absolutely certain he can instantly reach Gu Huaqiu, kill him, and grab the rope at the same time.

Seeing Liu Zixuan fall into silence, Gu Huaqiu laughed wildly, "Don’t think of stalling for time; even if the Sect Leader and others know now, they can’t rush here in an instant, so the time left for you is only three minutes!"

Liu Zixuan frowned, "Gu Huaqiu, all you want is my life, so pull Xiaoxiao up first, and I’ll let you do as you please."

"Impossible!" Gu Huaqiu immediately shook his head, "Don’t think I don’t know what you want to do; with your strength, if I pull Xiaoxiao up, you’d definitely be able to save her and kill me!"

Liu Zixuan took a deep drag on his cigarette and flicked the butt into the abyss, then strode forward.

"Take one more step, and I’ll jump down with Xiaoxiao!" Gu Huaqiu warned coldly, "I know you don’t care about my life, but what about Xiaoxiao! If you ignore her, she’ll die because of you, and even if you survive today, you’ll live in guilt forever."

"I’m telling you, in that case, your realm will stagnate because your guilt will give birth to a Heart Demon that will prevent you from breaking through to the Emperor Realm!"

"Quite a calculation!"

Liu Zixuan glared at Gu Huaqiu with a livid face, "It looks like you’ve been planning this for a long time!"

"If you hadn’t defeated the Second Elder, this scene wouldn’t exist!" Gu Huaqiu glanced at his watch, "One more minute!"

Saying that, he took two steps forward, infinitely close to the edge of the cliff. With just a little movement, he would jump off the cliff with Xiaoxiao.

"Fine, I agree!"

Liu Zixuan took a deep breath and stood directly at the edge of the cliff, his eyes coldly fixed on Gu Huaqiu, "But remember this, if I, Liu Zixuan, don’t die this time, the day I come down the mountain will be the day your Gu Family is wiped out!"

With those words, Liu Zixuan leaped off the cliff.

Just as he jumped, Xiaoxiao looked over, and tears spilled from her tender eyes as she screamed, "No... don’t!"

But it was too late!

In an instant, a gust of sword wind rose from within the chasm, enveloping Liu Zixuan’s rapidly falling body like a vortex.

Gu Huaqiu was stunned for a moment, quickly pulling Xiaoxiao back from the edge, and shouted with ecstatic glee, "Xiaoxiao, Liu Zixuan is doomed now, and from now on, you’re mine alone!"

Slap!

Xiaoxiao raised her hand and slapped Gu Huaqiu in the face, "Gu Huaqiu, I always treated you like a brother, but you’re such a despicable villain!"

"I... I’m doing this for the good of both of us!" Gu Huaqiu was hit but didn’t show a trace of anger.

"For both of us? Not in this lifetime!" Xiaoxiao turned her head and walked toward the Profound Mountain.

But after only two steps, a figure blocked her path.

"Who are you?" Xiaoxiao asked with a frown.

"Xiaoxiao, this is the Gu Family’s ancestor." Gu Huaqiu hurriedly introduced, "How could I possibly come alone to deal with Liu Zixuan? Even if he hadn’t jumped, my ancestor would have knocked him down."

"Alright, since this is within the Profound Sword Sect, we can’t stay long. Quickly take this girl and leave!" The Gu Family ancestor was unwilling to elaborate further, but when he looked at Xiaoxiao, he showed a trace of appreciation as if very satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Where are you taking me? Aren’t you afraid my father will destroy your Gu Family?" Xiaoxiao anxiously shouted.

"Hmph, in the past, I might have feared Sword Venerable Ling Xiao, but now..." The Gu Family ancestor sneered, "I’m truly not afraid of him!"

With that, he struck Xiaoxiao with the palm of his hand, knocking her unconscious, then disappeared with Gu Huaqiu into the night.

Yet, little did they know, as their figures hadn’t completely vanished, an elderly voice emerged, slapping his leg anxiously, "Damn it, still a step too late!"

"Qing Lao, what’s going on?"

At this time, Sword Venerable Ling Xiao and others also rushed over.

Earlier, when Liu Zixuan left the hall, Elder Qing sensed something was wrong, so he quickly informed Sword Venerable Ling Xiao and others to hurry over.

But they were still too late!

Elder Qing sighed, "Xiaoxiao was taken away by the Gu Family!"

"Gu Huaqiu?" Sword Venerable Ling Xiao’s face changed drastically, showing extreme anger.

"He doesn’t have that capability; it’s that ancient fellow!" Elder Qing slapped his forehead, "No matter how I calculated, I didn’t expect this!"

"I’ll go down to the Gu Family to find them now!" The Great Elder was impatient and was about to leave without another word.

Elder Qing waved his hand, "Xiaoxiao won’t be in immediate danger, and with the Martial Realm’s turmoil, all those old guys have emerged; even if you went, it wouldn’t help. Let’s first see how Zixuan is doing!"

"Right, where is Liu Zixuan now?" Sword Venerable Ling Xiao suddenly remembered to ask.

Elder Qing pointed below the cliff, "Gu Huaqiu tricked him into jumping off the cliff. He did it to save Xiaoxiao, and now we owe him a big favor!"

"I heard that falling off the cliff is certain death!"

"The chasm below is full of sword winds; Liu Zixuan is probably..."

For a moment, the disciples murmured in regret.

"Take care of the Sect, I’ll go and see, and hope that kid is lucky. Otherwise, never mind the Hidden Sect; the entire Martial Realm will be done for!" Elder Qing frowned, leaving behind a sentence, and then leaped off the cliff as well.

"Sect Leader, how is it that even an old janitor like Elder Qing dares to jump off the cliff?" a nearby disciple hurriedly asked.

Sword Venerable Ling Xiao showed a strange expression, muttering, "At this moment, perhaps only Elder Qing can save Zixuan!"
