Zhu Xian: Get ten times the talent, the sword opens the gate of heaven

"is it?"

The Ghost King's icy gaze was fixed on Zhang Xiaofan. If Xiaobai, the holy woman, and Lu Xueqi were not by Zhang Xiaofan's side, he would definitely have crippled Zhang Xiaofan today.

Turn her into a cripple, and then make her stay with Yao'er forever.

However, since the other party now has helpers by his side, he naturally cannot make a move.

From beginning to end, the Ghost King believed that Zhang Xiaofan was no match for him. Zhang Xiaofan was always under his control.

Moreover, Youji is right. He has just acquired the ancient mythical beast Taotie and needs to bring it back to the Ghost King Sect to absorb its spiritual power.

Once we obtain the power of Asura, we will deal with Qingyun Sect and Zhang Xiaofan together.

Seeing the Ghost King hesitate, Youji, who had served him for three hundred years, knew him very well and knew that he was already considering resigning.

However, as the leader of a sect, wouldn't it be a loss of face to back down in a confrontation with Zhang Xiaofan?

He needs a way to save face.

Having figured this out, Youji said again, "Sect Master, something terrible has happened to you. We must return to the sect immediately."

Upon hearing this, the Ghost King immediately accepted the offer, his cold eyes fixed on Zhang Xiaofan, and said in a deep voice:
"I have important business to attend to this time, and also for Yao'er's sake, I'll let you off the hook for now."

"If there is a next time, I will definitely cripple you."

After making those harsh words and regaining his face, the Ghost King immediately turned around and said:

"Youji, let's go!"

Having said that, he leaped into the air and flew away into the distance.

Youji looked at Zhang Xiaofan with a complicated expression, and sighed:
"Sigh, you two are really a handful."

“If the two of you fight, no matter who dies or is injured, Biyao will be heartbroken.”

Zhang Xiaofan knew that You Ji was very important to Bi Yao, almost like a mother figure, since Bi Yao had been raised by You Ji. Therefore, he said:
"Don't worry, I'll find a foolproof solution."

Upon hearing this, Youji smiled bitterly and said:

“There is no perfect plan. I can see that you have Qingyun Sect in your heart, and the sect leader will certainly not give up his ambition.”

"When the sect leader attacks Qingyun Sect, I only hope you won't harm the sect leader's life, otherwise Biyao will hate you for the rest of her life."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan asked in surprise:

"You have so much confidence in me that you actually think the Ghost King is no match for me?"

Yu Ji wore a veil, so her expression was unreadable, but her tone was extremely firm:

"Your strength has increased too quickly. You have only been cultivating for seventeen years, yet you have already reached the Taiqing realm."

"Moreover, you like to hide your true strength. I predict that the sect leader will not be your match."

"Haha..." Zhang Xiaofan chuckled twice and said:
"That's not necessarily true. The Ghost King also has many trump cards, and once he gathers the Four Spirits, he will gain power you can't even imagine."

"However, you don't need to persuade him. You have followed him for three hundred years, so you naturally know how determined he is to unify the world."

"Sigh!" Youji seemed to imagine the scene of Zhang Xiaofan and the Ghost King killing each other not long afterward, and the heartbreaking moment for Biyao. She shook her head helplessly and said:
"I'm not going to say anything more. I just hope that neither of you will get into trouble when the time comes."

After saying that, Youji flashed away and chased after the Ghost King.

Although she and Qinglong were now under Zhang Xiaofan's command, Biyao was at Fox Hill, and Zhang Xiaofan was Biyao's husband, so she naturally returned to Fox Hill first. Soon, Youji caught up with the Ghost King.

The Ghost King flew in silence for a while, then suddenly looked at You Ji and said:
"I heard everything you just said. You think I'm no match for Zhang Xiaofan?"

Youji and the Ghost King have an unusual relationship. She was not only the Ghost King's right-hand woman for three hundred years, but she also raised Biyao. She is extremely important to Biyao, and the Ghost King will never kill her.

So, Youji mustered her courage and spoke the truth:

"Since I first met Zhang Xiaofan, in just twelve short years, he has gone from the initial stage of the Shangqing Realm to the current Taiqing Realm."

"Moreover, he has always kept his abilities hidden, and no one knows his true level of cultivation."

"Also, several months have passed since the last time the Beast God attacked Qingyun Sect and Zhang Xiaofan revealed his Taiqing third level cultivation."

"With Zhang Xiaofan's talent, he may have made great progress in his cultivation in the past few months."

"Hmph!" After hearing You Ji's words, the Ghost King showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he snorted coldly and said confidently:
"His cultivation has greatly increased, and he has many trump cards. Why shouldn't my cultivation also greatly increase, and I have enough trump cards to kill him?"

“Zhang Xiaofan has grown too big for his britches now. He thinks that reaching the Taiqing Realm will allow him to contend with me. He’s just a newborn calf that doesn’t fear a tiger.”

"Once I've absorbed all the divine skills and mastered them, I'll deal with the Qingyun Sect and Zhang Xiaofan together."

At this point, the Ghost King unleashed a soaring killing intent.

Enveloped by this murderous intent, You Ji felt a chill run through her body and was terrified.

She immediately realized that the Ghost King's strength had greatly improved in the last year or two.

Perhaps, as the Ghost King said, he possesses a trump card powerful enough to kill Zhang Xiaofan. Moreover, the Ghost King is always a master strategist…

Thinking of this, Youji's heart tightened, and a flash of worry crossed her beautiful eyes. She immediately said:
"If that day ever comes, you must never kill Zhang Xiaofan. He is Biyao's husband. If Zhang Xiaofan dies, Biyao will be heartbroken and will hate you for the rest of her life."

Upon hearing the name Biyao, the Ghost King's killing intent vanished instantly, his cold expression softened, and he said softly:
"Don't worry, I won't kill Zhang Xiaofan, but I will cripple him and make him stay with Yao'er for the rest of his life."

At this point, the Ghost King suddenly flew to You Ji's side, his deep eyes fixed on hers, and said:
"You're asking me not to kill Zhang Xiaofan, I'm afraid it's not just because you're worried that Biyao will be sad if Zhang Xiaofan dies."

The Ghost King's sudden, intense gaze and question startled Youji. A fleeting look of panic crossed her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and replied:
"Sect Master, you're overthinking it. Of course, I'm thinking of Biyao; I have no other intentions."

"You're lying!" The Ghost King suddenly roared, his deep eyes fixed on You Ji. His already serious expression grew even colder, and his icy voice rang out:

"You've served under me for over three hundred years, don't you know me well?"

"You've clearly fallen in love with Zhang Xiaofan?"

"No!" You Ji's beautiful eyes flickered with panic, her delicate body trembled, and she immediately denied it:
"Sect Master, have you forgotten that I have always loved Wan Jianyi?"

"For the past three hundred years, I have never forgotten Wan Jianyi."

"Wan Jianyi?" Upon hearing this name, even the Ghost King's cold face showed a hint of admiration, and he praised him:
"He was indeed a genius. At that time, he overwhelmed the younger generation of both the righteous and demonic paths, and his strength even surpassed that of most of the older generation of experts. It's a pity that he couldn't be used by me."

"But you just said that you like Wan Jianyi, and you said 'like,' not 'love.'"

"So, you fell in love with Zhang Xiaofan, and that's why you advised me not to kill him, because you love him and you're worried about his safety!"

"Yes and no?"
