“Shut up!”

Nalan Hongyu was currently in a rage. Hearing Fang Aotian’s words, she immediately could not help but roar.

At this moment, she no longer gave Fang Aotian any face.

She could sense that she was really in big trouble this time.

Was this the terror of the chosen one?

After going against the other party, she had already lost hundreds of years of blood and sweat.

It had even severed their paths.

Now, the three of them could either fight, hide, or leave the Great Zhou.

Moreover, Lu Xiaoran’s speed of improvement was already fast enough. If he was given some more time, she really did not know how powerful he would become!

At this moment, Nalan Hongyu yearned for Lu Xiaoran even more.

If she could kill Lu Xiaoran and seize his luck, she really could not imagine how powerful she would become!

Fang Aotian smiled coldly and could not be bothered with her.

As the saying went, women are heartless and so are actors. There was no relationship between him and Nalan Hongyu to begin with. They were only searching for some simple happiness from each other.

Now that their hypocritical appearances had been torn apart, even this last trace of happiness had completely disappeared. All that was left was the fact that Lu Xiaoran was their common enemy.

“I’m afraid we can’t delay any longer. The longer we delay, the greater the difference between us and Lu Xiaoran. This guy is too threatening.”

Li Liushui said coldly.

Fang Aotian also nodded and did not oppose Li Liushui like before.

“That’s right. This so-called development is simply unrealistic for us. Our cultivation increases faster than ordinary people, but Lu Xiaoran’s speed of improvement is far faster than ours! The longer we delay, the stronger he will be.”

“Wait, could it be that you want to fight a decisive battle with Lu Xiaoran? This is too rash.”

Nalan Hongyu immediately opened her mouth to stop him.

However, Li Liushui said coldly with an indisputable tone, “I don’t plan to give you a choice. You just have to cooperate with the two of us.”

“If we fight rashly and die, what will we do?”

“I won’t die!”

With these three words, Nalan Hongyu’s delicate body suddenly trembled.

At this moment, she even had a faint feeling that Li Liushui was really able to defeat Lu Xiaoran.

Was this the terror of a hot shot?

She had always wanted to rule the hot shots as the leader and make them obey her orders. Then, she would use them to increase her own strength.

However, as time passed, she had already begun to show signs of being conquered.

This meant that her heart would gradually become a vassal of the hot shots.

The hot shots were really too terrifying!

They were so terrifying that no one could resist them.

However, speaking of which, just the hot shots had already become so terrifying. If so, then just how powerful was Lu Xiaoran?

If she could kill Lu Xiaoran and obtain his power of luck, she would definitely be able to make these hot shots listen to her commands and become her subordinates.

At that time, not only could she enjoy the power to step on the hot shots, but she could also enjoy the freedom to suppress the hot shots.

She decided to take a gamble!

After all, she had found two hot shots this time instead of just one. It was not impossible for her to kill Lu Xiaoran.

After taking a deep breath, Nalan Hongyu strengthened her heart.

“Alright! Then what do you plan to do? Deal with Lu Xiaoran?”

“It’s very simple. Defeat them separately.”

“As you said, Lu Xiaoran’s strength mainly depended on his luck.

“I looked at the information the Acacia Faction had previously gathered. In all the information, there was no record of Lu Xiaoran attacking. Based on all the records, he always let his disciples attack for him.

“In other words, Lu Xiaoran was an extremely cautious guy. In that case, his combat strength might not be as high as we thought.

“At the very least, he was not a Martial Monarch Realm expert!

“It was even possible that he had yet to reach the Saint Realm. Otherwise, he would not have hidden behind the scenes every time.

“As long as he is not a Martial Monarch Realm expert, we have a chance of killing him.

“As for his array formation strength, it has to be known that the strength of an array formation is not equivalent to an individual’s combat strength.

“If he was a true expert, he would definitely not be so cautious.

“Of course, we could not lower our guard. We could first treat him as an expert.

“However, let’s not think of him as some legendary figure.

“No matter how powerful he is, he still relies mainly on the absolute advantage of luck. If we can suppress his luck, he will be no different from an ordinary passerby. ”

Nalan Hongyu was somewhat puzzled.

“How can you reduce Lu Xiaoran’s luck?”

Li Liushui continued,

“I don’t know if you guys noticed anything when you read the dossier. Be it dealing with Xiao Bei, Lin Fei, or even Fang Aoran, the methods used are all the same.”

“Lu Xiaoran would use others to deal with the target first. As for himself, he would never take the initiative to provoke the opponent or make his disciples appear in advance.

“This means that he is also not confident in directly dealing with the hot shots. He wants to use others to constantly reduce the hot shots’ luck or combat strength before getting his disciple to step in and destroy them in one blow.

“If my analysis is correct, one’s luck should be related to one’s main body and the people around one has around them.

“If the people around you encounter a mishap, you will lose your luck. If your main body is attacked, your luck might also decrease.”

Nalan Hongyu’s breathing froze. She seemed to have sensed something.

“Continue. Get to the point. How do we deal with him?!”

“Start with his disciple.

“We’ll split into three directions. Fang Aotian will take one direction. I’ll take one direction. You take the other direction.

“I’ll go to the Azure Lotus Sword Sect. There are still Li Changsheng’s relatives there. If I go there, it’s impossible for Li Changsheng not to go.

“You will go and deal with the Great Zhou Imperial Family. The Great Zhou Imperial Family seems to have already become Lu Xiaoran’s lackey. I don’t believe that Lu Xiaoran will just ignore them.

“As for Fang Aotian, he will go and deal with Lu Xiaoran’s sect, the Heaven Demon Sect.

“After living in the Heaven Demon Sect for so many years, I don’t believe that he doesn’t have any feelings for the Heaven Demon Sect.

“If he goes back to save them, he would be restrained. If he does not, the Heaven Demon Sect will be destroyed and his luck will be weakened. No matter what, he would suffer a certain loss.

“After I kill Li Changsheng first and Fang Aotian destroys the Heaven Demon Sect, you can cause a scene in the Great Zhou Imperial City. Even if Lu Xiaoran has three heads and six arms, he still won’t be able to handle everything.”

Fang Aotian could not help but ask curiously,

“However, speaking of which, although Hongyu is a Supreme Realm expert, the Great Zhou Imperial Family is not to be trifled with, right? Don’t tell me that the Great Zhou Imperial Family doesn’t even have a Supreme Realm expert holding down the fort?”

“Just as you said, the Great Zhou Imperial Family has already become Lu Xiaoran’s lackey. The Great Zhou Imperial Family will definitely not sit idly by.

“Of course, I know that.”

Li Liushui looked at Nalan Hongyu.

“Fairy Nalan, you’ve been in this business for hundreds of years. I don’t believe that you don’t have the network that we need! I think it shouldn’t be a problem for you to find more than three Supreme Realm martial artists, right?”

Nalan Hongyu’s eyes kept flickering. She was weighing the pros and cons.

Originally, she felt fine when she did not need to fight the Imperial Family. However, now that she was asked to directly take on the Imperial Family, she had to consider it.

She was really not sure that Li Liushui could defeat Lu Xiaoran. She needed to calm down now.

“On what basis? On what basis are you targeting Lu Xiaoran? What confidence do you have to completely kill him?”

Li Liushui looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle, his hands behind his back, and endless confidence flashed in his eyes.

“I have a move that can kill a Saint Realm expert!”

Fang Aotian and Nalan Hongyu’s pupils immediately constricted.

It was too terrifying!

Li Liushui was only a first level Emperor Realm cultivator now. Usually, it was already powerful enough for one’s combat strength to surpass two realms.

They did not expect that Li Liushui would say that he was actually able to kill a Saint Realm expert with a single move.

In that case, they might really have a chance to deal with Lu Xiaoran.

“Alright! I promise you. I’ll help out with the Imperial City.”

Nalan Hongyu had already stabilized her mind.

She knew that the chance to kill Lu Xiaoran had arrived.

Her improvement speed was extremely slow, and Lu Xiaoran’s cultivation speed was shocking. The two of them were simply not on the same level.

Now that she had two trump cards in her hand, the two hot shots, she naturally had a chance at killing Lu Xiaoran.

Coupled with the move Li Liushui mentioned, it was really a perfect opportunity to kill Lu Xiaoran.

If she missed this opportunity, she really did not know if she could kill Lu Xiaoran again in this life.

“How long will it take before we can find enough Supreme Realm experts to cooperate with you in your attack on the Imperial City?”

“Half a month, no, ten days!”

Fang Aotian also said, “Perfect, I can also return to the Ancient Ape Tribe and gather the equipment I scattered to resist Lu Xiaoran.”

“Alright! In that case, we can post the challenge on the ninth day.”

“Remember to build a teleportation formation. When the battle begins, we can teleport together at any time and attack Lu Xiaoran together.”

Li Liushui’s timing needed to be perfect. After all, he needed Lu Xiaoran to release Li Changsheng and his other disciples willingly. At the same time, he also needed Lu Xiaoran to not have enough time to prepare and set up array formations. Moreover, he also could not have Lu Xiaoran go and protect the people from the Azure Lotus Sword Sect and the Heaven Demon Sect.

He could not afford to make a single mistake!

The three of them quickly spread out and carried out their respective plans.

On the other side, Lu Xiaoran had also returned to the Imperial City.

This huge sweep had indeed been a huge harvest for him.

Just the value of top-grade spirit stones alone had amounted to nearly 10 billion.

Other than that, there were also other top, middle, and low-grade spirit stones, as well as various weapons and Dharma treasures.

Sensing his aura of returning to the Imperial City, Ji Wushang immediately came to greet him.

“Senior Lu, you’re back.”

Lu Xiaoran nodded. Having obtained a lot, he was in a rather good mood.

“How’s the Acacia Faction doing?”
