Chapter 346: Three hundred forty-six, overestimating oneself?
"Hmph, Xuan Jing, my good brother, just resign yourself to fate, in this lifetime, you will ultimately be unable to contend with your elder brother!"
As Xuan Jiuding relaxed, his gaze swept past Yun Xiao’s face and finally settled on Xuan Jing’s slightly twitching face, where he let out a cold snicker in his heart, feeling immensely pleased.
The covert actions of Xuan Jiuding and Ran Xing were unknown to anyone. Even Yun Xiao, who vaguely guessed the cause of this incident, was troubled by the lack of evidence and could not accuse Ran Xing in front of Xuan Haoran.
After all, Ran Xing had never admitted that the Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm was his doing, and it was precisely because of this that his subtle maneuvers remained undetected.
Yun Xiao knew that everything depended on himself now. If he couldn’t truly control the Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm with the whistle sound, allowing Ran Xing, the old fox, to cause chaos a few more times, his previous efforts would be utterly wasted.
Fortunately, Yun Xiao’s soul hailed from the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, and while Ran Xing also came from a higher Plane, as far as Yun Xiao knew, this old fox was at most from the Middle Three Realms, a rank far below that of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud.
Thinking of this, Yun Xiao secretly rejoiced that Ran Xing had used the Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm; otherwise, if he had applied some Earth Rank-level deadly poison to Xuan Jing, with his current Meridian Refining Technique, he would have had no choice but to turn to others for help, or simply lament in despair.
For instance, with the Seven Evil Poisonous Flame that afflicted Elder Li Shan, Yun Xiao had no way to resolve it with his own Cultivation and Meridian Refining Technique and had to rely on Yu Shu to heal Li Shan.
Yet as for the Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm, although its level of trickery exceeded that of the Seven Evil Poisonous Flame, the difficulty of resolving it was tenfold less for Yun Xiao because he had the bamboo whistle in his hand.
"Hmph, I simply refuse to believe it!"
