Although he had refined half of the pill, in the eyes of a grandmaster alchemist like Elder Ge, the pill was still useless. Leaving it behind was a pity, he might as well give it to Yang Xie as a reward.
Yang Xie did not decline and accepted the jade tablet and the 'Deformed Dan'. Inside the jade tablet was the Swordwork Value that he had obtained from this mission, and as long as his identity jade tablet verified it, he would naturally obtain the Swordwork Value.
”Alright, This Old Man still has to concoct pills, you can go back by yourself.” The Elder Ge said.
Yang Xie nodded, after bidding farewell, he turned and left the secret chamber.
After exiting the Precious Medicine Peak, the sky was already filled with stars. The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the pill refinement this time around had unknowingly reached deep into the night.
Yang Xie carried the Deformed Dan and flew all the way to his cave, although he was filled with mixed emotions, he was happy that the pill had finally been refined successfully, but he was worried that the effects of the pill would be greatly reduced, as it was not going to have any of the effects that he had imagined.
Just like this, Yang Xie walked with a heavy heart. When he returned to the cave abode, his expression could not help but freeze for a moment, but under the bright moonlight, there was a person waiting in front of his cave abode. His expression was slightly anxious, and did not know who Hua Lao was.
”Junior Brother Nie, you're finally back.” Hua Lao was waiting anxiously, when he saw Yang Xie, he heaved a sigh of relief.
”Why is Senior Brother Hua not coming back late into the night? What do you want to find me for?” Yang Xie asked in surprise when he saw Yue Yang's expression.
”Junior Brother Nie, do you have a grudge with Wang Kuang?” Hua Lao did not nag him and went straight to the point.
”Wang Kuang?” Yang Xie's eyes flashed, looked at Hua Lao, and slowly said: ”Indeed, there is. I wonder why Senior Brother Hua would suddenly ask about this?”
”No wonder.” Hua Lao sighed: ”Junior Brother Nie, I asked around and found out that Mu Lin suddenly came to challenge us, and that he accepted Xue Gui's invitation, and that Wang Kuang was also involved, if not, with Mu Lin's status, he would not have come to challenge you.”
”Wang Kuang? So that's how it is? ” Yang Xie's face revealed a look of understanding. He finally understood why Mu Lin would suddenly come and challenge him, and thought that the ten great outer sect disciples were all proud and arrogant, looking at the high grade immortal cave, for him, a third-grade cave like theirs was supposed to not bother with anything, but somehow they decided to come out to challenge him, so it turned out to be because of this!
”From what I know, that Wang Kuang and that Xue Gui are complete strangers, and I don't know why he suddenly joined hands against you.” Hua Lao sighed, his expression puzzled.
He could not guess the reason, but how could Yang Xie not know.
”I never thought that Wang Kuang would see through this so quickly.” Yang Xie's heart was heavy. He knew that Wang Kuang must have seen something from him, but he wasn't too sure if that was the reason why he decided to join hands with Xue Gui and have him use his full strength. Only by doing this would he truly be able to confirm his identity.
”If I had used my full strength, I would have been recognized by Wang Kuang on the spot. At that time, I would have definitely died!” Yang Xie felt a chill in his heart, and inwardly rejoiced that he did not choose to attack them.
”Although I did not reveal my identity on the spot, compared to Wang Kuang's suspicion of me, I do have a lot of time left.” For a moment, Yang Xie could not help but feel that time was of the essence.
”I already know about it, thank you Senior Brother Hua for your concern, it is already very late, Senior Brother Hua should go back and rest.” Yang Xie could tell that this Hua Lao had probably already waited here for a long time, and couldn't help but be moved.
”Junior Brother Nie, it must be bad for Wang Kuang and Wang Kuang to suddenly join hands to deal with you. If they can't do it, Junior Brother Nie will retreat for a while.” Hua Lao tried to persuade his again.
”Well, I'll think about it.” Yang Xie nodded.
Seeing this, Hua Lao calmed down, he was truly afraid that Yang Xie would choose to act rashly.
After watching Hua Lao leave, Yang Xie turned around and returned to the cave.
The moment he entered the cave, Yang Xie's expression darkened, a trace of killing intent flashed past his eyes.
He knew that the reason why this matter was like this, must be because of Wang Kuang!
Otherwise, even though the matter of him infiltrating the sect was not done flawlessly, Xue Gui would not suspect this matter. It was only because Wang Kuang saw through some of the flaws that he would fall into danger.
”Actually, if you think about it carefully, ever since you entered the 'My Sword Sect', you have probably left behind a lot of holes. Although these flaws are not obvious, but to the eyes of the people who want to see it, you would probably be able to see through it. At the end of the day, I still haven't been able to conceal my identity to the extreme. Otherwise, why would I need to worry about all these bullshit flaws? ”
For a moment, Yang Xie couldn't help but think back to when he entered the sect, the few questions he asked the Mountain Patrol Disciples, and the various things he did to enter the sect. These things seemed to be impossible to find, but in truth, when linked together, it made people unavoidably suspicious.
Even without Wang Kuang, he probably wouldn't be able to hide for too long in the future.
