No one dared to utter a sound, this man was simply too terrifying. With a casual swing of his sword, he could split the earth. Who could withstand such a sword?

Let alone block it!

Qiu Ruoxi was completely dumbfounded. Who exactly was this man? Why did he not mention Ye Xunhuan at all, always talking only about himself!

Qiu Ruoxi swore she definitely didn't know such a monstrous man; if she did, she reckoned she would be a top-notch expert by now.

After all, having such an excellent resource at her disposal and not using it would be utterly foolish.

In the next moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the man took unhurried steps towards Qiu Ruoxi.

In an instant, he stood right in front of Qiu Ruoxi and whispered, "Girl, don't think about fighting and killing. You're not suited for such things!"

Looking at the man so close in front of her, Qiu Ruoxi couldn't help but swallow nervously, then slowly said, "Senior... please, save Xunhuan..."

Although this man was very kind to Qiu Ruoxi, and quite gentle, she still felt a deep fear towards him in her heart.

After all, this man was just too frightening, and Qiu Ruoxi had no idea who he actually was.

Moreover, she only met him in the capital when she was with Ye Xunhuan, knowing only that he was an acquaintance of Qin Fenghuang. What kind of acquaintance? She had no clue.

So, whether this man would save Ye Xunhuan, Qiu Ruoxi had no confidence at all.

After hearing Qiu Ruoxi's plea, the man chuckled lightly, "You're afraid of me too..."

"I..."

"Alright, I know you're scared, but that's normal. After all, I'm too monstrous, aren't I?"

For a moment, Qiu Ruoxi didn't know what to say.

"Senior, please save Xunhuan..."

"He's not dead, what should I save him from? Save him or kill him?" the man replied casually.

"But..."

"If he can't die, that's enough. Whether he lives, that's his business, I can't care." the man said nonchalantly.

"Senior..."

"Alright, you don't need to say more. The poison affecting him, I can't cure it; everything has to rely on him." the man gently interrupted Qiu Ruoxi. "But I must save the girl first!"

With those words, the man suddenly stepped forward.

Yes, just one step!

With a mere step, the man reached Qin Muge, grabbed her, who grasped her head and was writhing in pain on the ground, and gently brushed her head with his right hand.

An invisible wave of energy immediately enveloped Qin Muge, calming her. The pain and malicious expression on her face slowly faded, and she gradually calmed down.

After a while, Qin Muge completely calmed down, but once calm, her body collapsed uncontrollably to the ground.

Fortunately, the man swiftly caught Qin Muge.

Then, he carried Qin Muge towards Qiu Ruoxi.

"Girl, after you return, take this girl to see a psychologist, and everything will be fine." the man said calmly. "Don't blame her; it's not her intention. She's being controlled."

At the moment, Qiu Ruoxi was not particularly concerned about anything; her major concern was with Ye Xunhuan!

"Senior, you're so powerful, you can surely save Xunhuan..."

"I really can't save him, why don't you believe me?" the man sighed slightly.

Suddenly, the man seemed to sense something and smirked coldly, "What, running away because the plan failed?"

His abrupt words caused everyone to freeze.

Immediately, two characters flashed through everyone's mind—night!

Since the man appeared and slew the Earl and Tarot Death, everyone ceased fighting, including Night.

Now, the man's words clearly referred to Night.

After all, she orchestrated and schemed all this.

The next instant, everyone began searching around for Night.

Sure enough, Night was indeed preparing to flee, but the man's words made her freeze, her delicate frame trembling.

"Senior, do you want to kill me?" Night's voice trembled.

"If I wanted to kill you, you'd already be dead." the man said calmly. "Moreover, you truly aren't worthy for me to strike; only the Tarot Death and the Earl barely managed to qualify."

"You're not worthy, understand?"

Faced with the insulting words of the man, Night dared not show any discontent.

After all, the man was too terrifying; killing her would be too easy.

"So, Senior, you're letting me go?"

"Don't play word games with me; you're too inexperienced." the man immediately saw through Night's intention. "You're the culprit; fleeing like this is rather inappropriate, isn't it?"

"And you wanted to kill the Marshal?"

"Senior, what exactly do you intend to do?"

"One of you two can leave alive today." the man directly stated. "Kill him, I'll let you go. Fail, you stay, he leaves!"

"Senior, you might as well kill me." Night took a deep breath, suppressing the fear inside her, and heavily said, "Mount Sumeru Saintess, Hidden Dragon Princess, in Gavittoria, Blood Phoenix, what chance do I stand..."

"What I mean is, only the two of you. If anyone else intervenes, I'll kill them."

Upon hearing the man's words, Night's body trembled again, her eyes immediately lit with hope, "Really?"

Currently, Ye Xunhuan was poisoned; without anyone's help, Night was confident she could kill Ye Xunhuan.

"Of course it's true."

Upon hearing the man's words, Qiu Ruoxi's face changed greatly, "Senior, Xunhuan can't even stand, you're going to let him perish..."

Not only was Qiu Ruoxi panicking, but so were Liu Qingcheng and others.

What on earth did this man mean? Who exactly was he helping?

If you went by his previous words, he was obviously helping Qiu Ruoxi, helping Ye Xunhuan, but now, his attitude left everyone confused about his intentions.

Ears ringing with Qiu Ruoxi's tense and anxious question, the man casually glanced at her, "Are you afraid of him dying?"

"Senior, he's my husband; we're united in glory and disgrace..."

"I only know that husbands and wives are birds of the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly apart!" the man said calmly.

"Senior..."

"Enough!" the man said impatiently. "Night, I gave you the chance. Whether you leave alive, or he does, it's your decision!"
