Guided by Chi Miaomiao, Tu Luoxue and the other three took the elevator to the floor where the training lounge was located.
Inside the training room, the Throne is sparring with eight other Tier 9 squads.
Xuanyuan Changhong took the lead and used his sword to deflect Tuoba Yun's long-handled axe. He then used the other royal sword of the throne, Fifth Winter and Summer, to strike the back row. After losing the Winter and Summer Sword, Fifth Winter and Summer had no intention of finding a new sword. Instead, she used her qi to create swords, which would increase the consumption of qi.
The back row of the eight ninth-tier squads was attacked by the Twin Kings Swords in an instant, while on the front, Di Huanian swept his long staff, disrupting the rhythm of the charging ninth-tier captains.
Taking advantage of the moment when the attack rhythm was disrupted, the two kings of the throne, Wang Yi and Zhao Jun, immediately launched an attack.
Liu Qian, in the back row, casually drew his bow and nocked an arrow, firing three golden, sharp arrows at a time, which whistled through the air and struck the back row of the squad.
Xu Chunlai stood in front of Liu Qian like a city wall, holding a shield. Any attackers were blocked by him, protecting Liu Qian's steady attacks.
Fatty Xu is also jokingly called the "unsung king," but he is absolutely an indispensable part of the throne.
Even when faced with the attacks of eight ninth-tier captains and forty-eight eighth-tier members, the seven members of the Throne were able to hold their own thanks to their years of brotherhood and their overwhelming power.
Zhao Jun usually appears to be a serious person, but he is actually a battle maniac. When he swings his broadsword, he spins like a top, moving among the captains with Wang Yi.
Qin Jinwen rose to fame later than the seven members of the Throne, but she was no pushover either.
A long sword slashed down heavily towards Wang Yi, but Di Huanian, who was protecting the front wing, instantly blocked it. Qin Jinwen's powerful strength really surprised the two-meter-tall giant Di Huanian. The collision of the long staff and the long sword made a loud noise that echoed throughout the training room, making everyone in the training room even more excited.
After adapting to the attacks from Fifth Winter and Summer and Xuanyuan Changhong, the team members in the back row began to launch a counterattack, with Tuoba Yun and the captain of the eleventh squad [Spirit God] also chasing after the two.
The two had no choice but to temporarily avoid the enemy's attack. No matter how strong they were, they couldn't withstand the enemy's fierce firepower. Moreover, they had to face two ninth-level opponents, which was really difficult for them.
Liu Qian instantly fired dozens of arrows to help the two evade the pursuit of Tuoba Yun and Captain Ling Shen. Then, he charged up and shot a huge golden arrow upwards. The arrow flew rapidly into the air and split into hundreds and thousands of arrows, which fell into the crowd with a whoosh.
While the squad was blocking the arrows, Fifth Winter and Xuanyuan Changhong flashed again and appeared on the left and right flanks of the squad, starting to reduce the number of eighth-tier members.
As the strongest shield, Xu Chunlai still seemed to be able to withstand the attacks of two ninth-level captains with ease. He blocked the attacks from the captains of the fourth squad [Jade Dragon] and the eighth squad [Black Dragon].
Of the ten ghost-hunting teams, apart from Li Lingzhou, the captain of the sixth team [Blizzard], and Yan Luo, the captain of the ninth team [Netherworld], the other team captains were about the same age as Xu Chunlai and the others.
Of course, there's also the eldest brother, Tuoba Yun, who is two years older than Wang Yi.
Captain Yulong chuckled and slashed at Xu Chunlai's shield with his sword, saying, "Fatty Xu, my wife is pregnant with our second child, how come you still don't have a girlfriend? Call me brother, and I'll have your sister-in-law introduce you to her best friend."
"Get lost! I'm a few months older than you, and you dare ask me to call you 'brother'? Don't you have any shame?"
Xu Chunlai swept his shield, forcing back Captain Yulong. Then, Captain Heilong took over from the forced-back Yulong and slammed his iron hammer into Xu Chunlai's shield, producing a sound even louder than the clash between Di Huanian and Qin Jinwen's weapons.
The captain of the Black Dragon clan pounded on Xu Chunlai's shield with his hammer, saying, "Yulong is right, Fatty, I'm worried about all of you who aren't married."
Xu Chunlai glared at him and dodged aside. Behind him, Liu Qian fired several deflecting arrows at the two captains who had been holding Xu Chunlai back.
"What's the rush? My brother Falcon isn't worried, so why should I be? And there's Brother Hong and the others. We're not short of scapegoats. Whenever my mom urges me, I just bring them up. It works like a charm."
Just as the group was chatting and fighting, Tu Luoxue and the others arrived at the rest room above the training room. Xuan Yuan Chenxi stared intently at Xuan Yuan Changhong below. Xuan Yuan Changhong noticed the gaze, looked up, and found that it was Xuan Yuan Chenxi looking at him.
This sudden look caused Xuan Yuan Chang Hong to be momentarily stunned. The Spirit God Captain seized the opportunity to send him flying. Xuan Yuan Chang Hong quickly regained his balance and blocked the Spirit God's next attack.
Xuanyuan Changhong's mind was completely elsewhere in the training room. He kept looking up, but the training wouldn't end anytime soon.
Wang Yi, as the eldest brother, noticed that something was wrong with Xuan Yuan Changhong. When he looked up, he saw that it was Xuan Yuan Changhong's niece, Xuan Yuan Chenxi. He called out to Xuan Yuan Changhong, "Ah Hong, go ahead. You don't need to worry about this place. Chenxi must have something to tell you. You should go first."
Xuanyuan Changhong nodded, gave a sword salute to the captain of the Spirit God team, and then disappeared from the spot.
Wang Yi arranged for Di Huanian to replace Xuan Yuan Changhong and attack the left and right flanks of the squads together with Wu Dongxia, while he and Zhao Jun withstood the attacks of four ninth-level captains, including Qin Jinwen and Li Lingzhou.
Xuanyuan Changhong left the training room and went straight to the upstairs lounge. Tu Luoxue and the others greeted him politely and then left the lounge, giving the two of them some space.
Xuan Yuan Chenxi pursed her lips, her fingers frantically tapping against each other behind her back, revealing her tense and uneasy state of mind.
Xuanyuan Changhong felt that even fighting several ninth-level opponents below was not as tiring as facing Xuanyuan Chenxi now. In other words, he didn't know how to face Xuanyuan Chenxi.
As Xuanyuan Chenxi's uncle, he committed an unforgivable mistake, causing irreparable harm to the girl.
Xuanyuan Changhong was not too far from Xuanyuan Chenxi. The two looked at each other, and it was Xuanyuan Changhong who broke the silence first.
"Are you alright, Xiao Xi?" As he spoke, Xuan Yuan Chang Hong noticed that the girl's face, which was without makeup, looked a bit haggard, but her eyes always held the joy of seeing him, which made his heart feel heavy and uncomfortable.
Xuan Yuan Chenxi didn't want to hide it, so she forced a smile and said, "No, I'm not happy at all without you at home. My parents won't let me go out either. I miss you so much, so I sneaked out to find you."
Although Xuanyuan Changhong was afraid of women and had not had much interaction with them, he was a normal man when it came to Xuanyuan Chenxi. He understood Xuanyuan Chenxi's true purpose in coming to him and knew her sincere feelings from beginning to end.
But that unbreakable bond between them remained an insurmountable chasm.
(What Xuanyuan represents, those who know, know.)
That's why he always seemed indifferent when he was with Xuanyuan Chenxi.
