"Longevity Daoist wanted me to keep concealing my identity until the final battle, then launch a surprise attack on Fu Beiwang," Gu Chengfei said.
"What did you say?" Xuan Yuanjun's eyes widened.
"Xuan Yuanjun, getting anxious?" Gu Chengfei laughed. "If I'd succeeded then, I wonder how you would have reacted. I'm sure it would have been intense. Just mentioning it has you anxious-that gives us a glimpse."
"Damn it, was he trying to distract Senior Xuanyuan?" Ji Shidao said, his expression dark.
During the final battle, even the slightest disturbance could be fatal. After all, when masters exchanged blows, they could not afford the slightest lapse.
He knew how close Xuan Yuanjun and Fu Beiwang were. If Gu Chengfei really killed Fu Beiwang in a sneak attack, Senior Xuanyuan could not possibly remain unmoved.
"Ji Shidao, your thinking is the same as my reaction at the time. Unfortunately, that isn't the answer. With Longevity Daoist's strength, he has no need to do that. His aim is to make you suffer, Xuan Yuanjun."
"Isn't that obvious?" Ji Shidao shouted.
Of course Senior Xuanyuan would suffer if Fu Beiwang died. Did that need pointing out?
"But that is Longevity Daoist's aim," Gu Chengfei said again.
Xuan Yuanjun could not help pondering for a moment.
Gu Chengfei's words surprised him somewhat.
Make me suffer?
Is this revenge for ruining his plans?
Starting with those close to me?
"I don't think you need to overthink it. With strength like Longevity Daoist's, killing someone is far too easy. Perhaps he finds simply killing people a little dull, so he came up with something like this. Xuan Yuanjun, although I failed this time, that doesn't mean Fu Beiwang is safe."
Although Huang Xiao and the others could not get out, they could hear everything Gu Chengfei
