Chapter 939: Chapter 0939: Forced to Take Sides

Not listening was fine, but hearing it made him jump in fright.

What she said was too shocking.

No matter how he wracked his brain, he never imagined she would want to do such a thing. Luo Yang widened his eyes.

After all, the situation was grave, and she wasn’t joking.

Cold sweat ran down Luo Yang’s back.

Gu Xue bit Luo Yang’s ear and whispered softly, "Hey! Let’s team up and take out Hua XiYi! Tonight, let’s make sure she doesn’t leave alive! You’re the sect master of Ten Thousand Souls Sect, you must go all out on this."

It’s over!

Luo Yang felt his heart sink, his mind blanking out for several seconds.

Killing someone was never a simple matter.

Just hearing her suggestion made Luo Yang’s heart throb wildly.

When she looked at him with cold, piercing eyes, waiting for his reply, he felt even more uneasy.

If he nodded, then it meant going after Hua XiYi.

But that wasn’t what Luo Yang wanted to do.

If he refused, then the three Gu sisters wouldn’t let it go.

Their hatred for Hua XiYi was immense; they were always scheming to attack her from the shadows.

If it weren’t for Luo Yang’s intervention, they probably would have acted already.

Now, they unexpectedly wanted to pull him into their plans as well.

Luo Yang felt his head swell with pressure.

Trying to kill Hua XiYi—that was no ordinary matter.

It must be noted that Hua XiYi was incredibly skilled—not only were her martial arts exceptional, but her mastery of techniques was equally formidable.

What made her even harder to ignore was her background—she was from Jiuyang Hall.

While Luo Yang didn’t understand Jiuyang Hall in depth, he knew enough to realize that even the Blood Devil Sect feared Jiuyang Hall, evidence that they weren’t people to be trifled with.

Putting aside whether it was even possible to kill Hua XiYi.

Even taking a step back and assuming Hua XiYi was eliminated.

What happens next?

It would trigger a domino effect.

If Jiuyang Hall retaliated, it would undoubtedly impact Hong Jiaxin’s situation.

Given Luo Yang’s current level of skill and power, if he were to go head-to-head with Jiuyang Hall, the outcome was predictable—likely a battle of life and death, with more death than survival.

Though he’d been through many major events, Luo Yang wasn’t overly attached to life and death anymore.

But with so many people depending on him, Luo Yang didn’t want to spend another eighteen years waiting to prove himself again.

As Luo Yang remained silent, Gu Xue pressed him further.

"Hey! You don’t agree?"

Luo Yang drew in a sharp breath and said, "Sister Xue, we need to find the right time to discuss this properly."

As Luo Yang spoke, Gu Xiang and Gu Yun also approached to listen.

"She’s our enemy! Hey! You’re already the sect master of Ten Thousand Souls Sect!" Gu Xue reminded him.

"Sister Xue, listen to me."

Luo Yang then patiently explained his reasoning to Gu Xue in detail.

He had three main points.

The first was that acting against Hua XiYi at this moment would hinder their efforts to obtain the Blood Devil.

The second was that if Hua XiYi were killed and Jiuyang Hall came to settle the score, Luo Yang wouldn’t stand a chance of survival. Simply put, it wasn’t the right time to act yet.

The third was that taking action against Hua XiYi now would risk alarming others prematurely.

Upon hearing Luo Yang’s explanation, the three Gu sisters agreed with his reasoning.

"Hey! Then when are you going to kill her?"

"Sister Xue, revenge taken by a gentleman..."

"Hey! I’m no gentleman!"

"Fine, fine, fine. Revenge is best served cold. Rushing things won’t help..."

"My eldest sister asked you to exact revenge, and you just keep making excuses! Give us an approximate time!"

Gu Yun raised an eyebrow, teasingly scolding him.

When the three sisters started talking, it was as if they were unstoppable; Luo Yang’s words were no match for their combined voices.

Naturally, Gu Xiang also had something to say. She bit Luo Yang’s ear and said, "We can tell—you actually don’t want to help us take revenge, do you?"

At times like this, Luo Yang could only resort to smiling bitterly and shaking his head.

Whenever the three Gu sisters brought up revenge, Luo Yang felt his head grow heavier.

For now, all he could do was appease them, promising to help them get their revenge.

But in truth, Luo Yang hadn’t fully made up his mind yet.

The cost was simply too high—he had to think carefully.

Just dealing with Hong Jiaxin’s issue was enough to exhaust Luo Yang.

If he added the matter of the three Gu sisters, it seemed that he’d never have a peaceful day in his life.

Ever since acquiring the Shennong Scripture, the clear water taken from its pool could whiten the skin, and Luo Yang only wanted to become a wealthy man.

Given time, this dream might become reality.

But there was one prerequisite—Luo Yang had to stay alive.

He had never planned to fight forces like the Eight Immortals Hall or Jiuyang Hall, but life had a strange way of working—before he knew it, he had already crossed paths with terrifying people.

If it were a small matter, Luo Yang would cheerfully help the three Gu sisters resolve it.

Luo Yang’s emotions were incredibly conflicted.

Tomorrow, if they found the Blood Devil, and if the three Gu sisters demanded to take it away, it could very well lead to a falling-out between them.

Luo Yang needed the Blood Devil to cultivate Ferocious Power and had to use it first.

Although an initial agreement had been made, who could guarantee that the three Gu sisters wouldn’t change their minds later?

Women are fickle; sometimes their thoughts shift quickly.

As Luo Yang pondered, Gu Xue once again bit his ear and asked, "Hey! Make a choice now—are you on our side or hers?"

When Gu Xue said "hers," she was referring to Hua XiYi.

Helpless, Luo Yang could only lean close and say, "Of course I’m on your side."

Gu Xue, however, pushed further, saying, "Hey! Then help us kill her!"

If he agreed to this, the future would undoubtedly become even more troublesome.

Luo Yang could only brush her off, saying, "Sister Xue, didn’t I explain earlier? We simply can’t touch her now. Didn’t we agree on this? You have to follow my lead."

Gu Xue sneered coldly, "Following your lead is fine, but you need to think of us. Hey, when are you going to act? I say we wait until after we get the Blood Devil."

Even setting aside everything else, successfully eliminating Hua XiYi would bring about truly difficult consequences.

There was even the chance that before Luo Yang could finish cultivating Ferocious Power, the experts of Jiuyang Hall would come for him.

That would be seeking one’s own destruction, wouldn’t it?

Softly, he whispered, "Sister Xue, I will never let you down. But things need to be done when the time is right, with the right conditions for success. Rushing won’t help—we need to keep calm, alright?"

Regarding this unremarkable young man, if not for his ability to heal wounded Yin Spirits, Gu Xue would never have believed that he had much capability.

They had investigated Luo Yang, but their understanding of him was limited.

However, Luo Yang had a knack for turning dangerous situations around, escaping unscathed from countless crises.

Now, the three Gu sisters had no choice but to pin their hopes on Luo Yang.

They simply didn’t have the strength to revive Ten Thousand Souls Sect—they could only rely on Luo Yang’s power.

Gu Xue pouted and said, "Hey! Don’t lie to us, or we’ll haunt you even as ghosts."

It seemed the three Gu sisters frequently harbored a dead-set determination, as their enemies were extraordinarily powerful. That they had survived until now was no small feat.

Luo Yang could empathize with their inner frustration and helplessness; at times, he felt pity for them.

At this moment, he thought the three Gu sisters were rather pitiful.

Sometimes, silence was better than speaking.

Truthfully, Luo Yang didn’t know how to comfort them properly—he hadn’t experienced their kind of suffering and couldn’t truly understand what it felt like.

Aside from trying not to provoke their rage, he figured this could count as helping them in a way.
