Chapter 280 – Meng Tianxuan's Invitation!

“So that’s how it is…”

High in the sky, Meng Tianxuan frowned in contemplation. After digesting this explosive information, he gradually emerged from his state of shock.

With Qin Yang’s identity revealed,

everything that had happened before now made sense.

No wonder he had successfully stepped into the Supreme Realm at such a young age…

And why so many Supremes from the Exploding Heavens Gang were willing to go through fire and water for him, sacrificing themselves without a single word of complaint.

They even took pride in it!

“This young man is truly extraordinary.”

As Meng Tianxuan pondered, his thoughts grew clearer, and he felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, he hadn’t injured him last time.

Otherwise, if he had harmed a Young Gang Leader of the Exploding Heavens Gang, his Supreme Alliance would inevitably be locked in a life-and-death struggle with the Exploding Heavens Gang!

The consequences would be unimaginable!

After experiencing the previous series of self-detonating assaults, he had no desire to go through that again!

Thinking this, Meng Tianxuan looked at Xiao Yan before him, cleared his throat lightly, smoothed the hair at his temples, and said politely, “Since the Gang Leader of the Exploding Heavens Gang is unavailable, this Alliance Lord won’t insist… I wonder if the two of you could arrange an introduction to Qin Yang for me?”

He sighed, “I was too rash before and offended everyone. I hope you can forgive me.”

“Hmph! Hypocrite!”

Liu Wushuang crossed his arms and snorted disdainfully, “What a petty man.”

Watching Meng Tianxuan’s feigned sincerity made him sick to his stomach!

“……”

Hearing these words, Meng Tianxuan felt a vein bulge at his temple. Though inwardly furious, he suppressed his anger and turned to Xiao Yan, the actual authority figure of the Exploding Heavens Gang, asking:

“Flame King, what is your opinion?”

“An audience can be granted.”

Xiao Yan nodded softly and was about to continue.

Before he could finish,

Liu Wushuang grew restless and interjected, “Senior, Meng Tianxuan’s invitation is ill-intentioned. It might not be wise to let Qin Yang go… What if he makes a move against the Young Gang Leader?”

“Leave it be. I will handle the rest.”

Xiao Yan waved his hand reassuringly, then turned back to Meng Tianxuan. “I can agree to your request, but ultimately, it depends on our Young Gang Leader’s decision. I can relay your message, but whether he comes or not is entirely up to him! If he declines, there’s nothing I can do.”

“Naturally.”

Upon hearing this, Meng Tianxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

His anxious heart finally settled.

Thankfully, the Flame King hadn’t heeded Liu Wushuang’s earlier words.

As long as the message could be relayed, there was a chance for progress. Based on what he had learned about Qin Yang’s character, although the young man preferred to take things easy, he ultimately cared about the people.

A matter as significant as the Blood Spirit Formation was bound to capture his attention!

Meanwhile,

Xiao Yan was also scheming on his end.

This meeting wasn’t just about uncovering the secrets Meng Tianxuan spoke of—more importantly, he wondered if it might trigger another system reward.

If he could inflict serious damage once more, perhaps an even greater reward might be unlocked!

With this in mind,

Qin Yang called out to the system in his heart several times.

However,

there was no response…

“Nothing? Or is it just not the right time to trigger it?”Seeing this, Xiao Yan furrowed his brow in thought for a moment before giving up and watching Meng Tianxuan return to the main topic:

“Name a time and place.

I will inform the Young Gang Leader upon my return. You just need to wait there in advance.”

“Alright, three days!”

Upon hearing this, Meng Tianxuan extended three fingers and said slowly, “Three days from now, let’s meet at the Apartment Southeast Border, just outside Jianghai City, to avoid eavesdroppers.”

“Agreed.”

Xiao Yan nodded, “I will relay this message to the Young Gang Leader.”

As his words fell.

Meng Tianxuan, hearing this, nodded in satisfaction, approving of the outcome. As long as the message was delivered, there was a seventy to eighty percent chance Qin Yang would come. All he needed to do was wait steadily.

“Good, good.”

Then, Meng Tianxuan shifted his gaze to Liu Wushuang beside him, his expression turning serious:

“Liu Wushuang, for the sake of the Exploding Heavens Gang, I will overlook your betrayal this time. I hope you will do more good deeds in the future and never join the Evil Cult to bring harm to the world…

Otherwise, when that day truly comes, I, as the Alliance Lord, will be the first to eliminate you! To rid the people of a scourge!”

“?”

Upon hearing these words, Liu Wushuang felt a question mark slowly forming in his mind.

He was instantly speechless.

Such high-sounding talk.

As if joining the Exploding Heavens Gang was equivalent to joining the Evil Cult,

And even personally executing him!?

To pin such a heavy accusation on him—this was utterly absurd!

Have you no shame!?

He had never seen someone so shameless!

“Pah! A hypocritical scoundrel like you dares to lecture me, the Arrow God?”

Liu Wushuang spat in disdain, sizing up Meng Tianxuan with a contemptuous look. “Are you even worthy?”

As his words fell.

Each sentence struck at Meng Tianxuan’s core, and before he could finish half of what he wanted to say, Meng Tianxuan’s face flushed red with anger.

“Liu Wushuang! Do not push your luck too far!”

“I am, after all, your former Alliance Lord. Your attitude… you’d better change it when you return.”

Meng Tianxuan’s voice grew softer toward the end, his rage boiling in his chest, but he forcibly held it back.

There was no other way.

The message had not yet been delivered, so he had to endure this anger and not voice it, lest he provoke the Exploding Heavens Gang.

In the end.

Meng Tianxuan, stifling his anger, was casually dismissed by Xiao Yan and Liu Wushuang and left the Martial Arts Academy in discontent.

“Thank you, Flame King, for saving my life.”

After Meng Tianxuan left, Liu Wushuang clasped his hands and expressed his gratitude to Xiao Yan beside him: “If not for your intervention, I would likely have been taken away by the Alliance Lord by now…”

“It’s nothing.”

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, “There’s no need to dwell on such a small matter. Since you’ve joined our Exploding Heavens Gang and are actively working for the Young Gang Leader, we will naturally support and look out for each other in the future.”

“Yes,”

Hearing this, Liu Wushuang felt a warm glow in his heart. Gaining such support was precisely why he had joined the Exploding Heavens Gang.

The seniors in the Exploding Heavens Gang had steadfast convictions, unlike hypocrites like Meng Tianxuan. Joining the Exploding Heavens Gang was definitely not a loss!

With this in mind, Liu Wushuang nodded gently:

“To inherit the title of Arrow God and sacrifice for the Exploding Heavens Gang is an honor for me. If you ever need me to self-destruct to boost morale in the future, Wushuang will be at your call anytime!”

As the words fell.

“Self-destruct?”

Xiao Yan shook his head and waved his hand, saying:

“That’s not necessary. From now on, unless absolutely necessary, Liu Wushuang, you shouldn’t always think about self-destructing. If you can prioritize your own safety, just run away first. Don’t stubbornly hold your ground here.

After all, it wasn’t easy for you to cultivate to the Supreme Realm, so cherish it… Moreover, our Exploding Heavens Gang isn’t short on one Earth Venerable’s self-destruction.”

As he spoke.

There was actually a part of Qin Yang’s personal interest in this.

You should know.

Liu Wushuang is a top expert who lived until five hundred years later. Who knows when he might trigger another system reward? If he were to self-destruct just like that, it would be such a huge loss!

“Senior, thank you for your kindness.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Wushuang’s tone became even more respectful as he bowed humbly and said, “But isn’t self-destruction the tradition of our Exploding Heavens Gang? Now that I’ve joined the Exploding Heavens Gang, I naturally have to uphold it!”

Xiao Yan: “…”

…

Night.

The moonlight was gentle, and Fuhai District was quiet and peaceful.

In the villa’s kitchen.

Xiaobai, wearing a light blue checkered apron, was bustling in front of the stove, hurriedly preparing soup and dishes. The rich aroma of meat broth had already wafted into the living room.

“Master, are you really going to accept that invitation from the Supreme Alliance?”

Xiaobai turned down the heat, returned to the sofa, picked up her phone, and continued the previously unfinished match she was playing as a substitute, “I feel like there must be something wrong with it. Is it really okay for you to just walk into a trap like this?”

“Go? How can I not go?”

Qin Yang opened his eyes, emerging from the Enlightenment Space, and looked at Xiaobai beside him, saying, “Anyway, I’ll just send a clone when the time comes to test his intentions. If there really is a problem, I can just self-destruct, right?”

“That’s true…”

Hearing this, Xiaobai flicked her fox tail, her ears suddenly perking up as her petite body leaned closer to Qin Yang:

“Your clone is so useful, Master! When will you teach me, your servant? I, the great Fairy and first Great Fox Spirit of the Exploding Heavens Gang, actually don’t even know how to create a clone. In the future, wouldn’t I…”

Before she could finish.

At that moment.

Knock! Knock!

A knocking sound came from outside the door.

“Senior Brother, it’s me!”

“Come on in, Shimei, no need to stand on ceremony.”

Qin Yang called out toward the outside.

As the words fell.

Swish! Swish!

The sound of robes fluttering came from outside.

A moment later, Li Zixuan walked into the living room, looking worried, her beautiful brows knitted together, shrouded in anxiety.

“Why do you look so troubled, Shimei?”

Qin Yang looked at her expression and asked, “Is it the laws acting up again?”

“No, Senior Brother… It’s about Meng Tianxuan.”

Li Zixuan came to sit by the sofa, staring into Qin Yang’s eyes with concern, “Senior Brother, are you really going to accept the invitation? Could that Meng Tianxuan be deliberately setting a trap for you? Do you need me to go with you?”

Three questions in a row.

Li Zixuan’s mind was in turmoil.

“It’s fine, Shimei. I have my own plans for this matter. You don’t need to get involved.”

Qin Yang sighed and comforted her, “I want to see what tricks he’s trying to play.”

The image of Meng Tianxuan humbling himself and swallowing his pride was still vivid in his mind. He had even been willing to set aside his dignity, abandoning Liu Wushuang, the traitor, just to secure a chance to talk.Just thinking about the secrets involved was enough to pique his curiosity.

After all, he would only be sending a clone. Even if there was a trap on the other side, he could escape in time!

Completely safe!

“But…”

Li Zixuan, unaware of Qin Yang’s inner thoughts, grew even more worried upon hearing his words. “Senior Brother, what if that Supreme Alliance Leader has some scheme?”
