The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief

Chapter 974: Chapter 974: Trump Card and Backer

Looking at everyone’s puzzled and confused expressions, Liu Zixuan laughed and said, "Such a simple reason, even the Lv Patriarch has already guessed it, yet you all still don’t understand?"

"Brother Xuan, stop beating around the bush and tell us. Why wouldn’t the Celestial Dao Alliance intervene in such a major incident with the Lv Family?" Jiang Yunxuan even called him Brother Xuan, showing his curiosity.

Liu Zixuan glanced at the corpse placed here, then led everyone into the Lv Family’s main hall and sat down.

He lit a cigarette and spoke leisurely, "Based on what you know about me, what kind of person do you think I am?"

"Great at flirting!" Jiang Yunxuan blurted out.

Several black lines appeared on Liu Zixuan’s forehead instantly, "I’m talking about matters in the Martial Realm!"

Tiger gave a disdainful look at Jiang Yunxuan, "You tried to flatter Brother Xuan but ended up hitting the horse’s hoof instead!"

"Dumb Tiger, get lost. It’s not like you understand it either," Jiang Yunxuan mumbled defensively.

Tiger smiled triumphantly, "I actually can answer this question. In the Martial Realm, Liu Zixuan has always had the style of anyone who doesn’t offend me, I won’t offend them; but if someone does, I definitely eliminate them."

"Continue." Liu Zixuan shrugged his shoulders, showing no sign of tension, and was not worried about the Celestial Dao Alliance sending anyone.

Zhao Yi continued from Tiger’s words, "In the past, Brother Xuan has treated those seniors with humility and courtesy, even if their realm wasn’t as high as Brother Xuan’s. He would still show respect, despite facing enemies, where he never flaunted his strength. Instead, he has always approached them with a calm mind no matter what."

"So, all along, those opponents felt Brother Xuan was inferior to them due to his quiet demeanor. Hence, they remained arrogant in front of Brother Xuan, but ultimately they suffered the consequence, ending in failure!"

"I got it!"

Listening to Zhao Yi and Tiger’s analysis, Shi Ke’s previously furrowed brows instantly relaxed.

"Previously, everything was done quietly, but this time it’s exceptionally high-profile, so much that no one can make sense of it. Yet, there’s a deeper meaning beneath it."

"Continue!" Liu Zixuan nodded, acknowledging Shi Ke’s words.

Shi Ke continued, "This high-profile approach would initially make people feel strange, even thinking you might have gone mad to openly confront the Lv Family in such a foolish manner."

"But any smart person would reflect, why you are being high-profile this time, the final conclusion would only be one, and that is you have acquired the capital to confront the Celestial Dao Alliance head-on!"

"If that’s the case, then the Celestial Dao Alliance wouldn’t send anyone, because they would assume Brother Xuan has a very powerful trump card or backing, right!" Jiang Yunxuan also understood and proposed.

Liu Zixuan nodded and said, "That’s right, especially characters like the Willow Association Ancestor would surely consider this aspect. That’s why this time when dealing with the Lv Family, I acted so high-profile and confidently, claiming they wouldn’t send reinforcements to the Lv Family."

"But I have another question." Tiger scratched his head and said.

"Speak." Liu Zixuan smiled.

"Do we really have that kind of backing or trump card?"

When Tiger finished speaking, everyone around laughed.

Tiger, looking baffled, scratched his head: "What’s so funny? Isn’t my concern valid? If they realize we don’t have any backing, they would definitely send experts over!"

Liu Zixuan pinched his forehead, "I think Yunxuan is sometimes right in calling you names."

"Did you hear that, Dumb Tiger? Your intelligence is nearly depleted!" Hearing Liu Zixuan’s compliment, Jiang Yunxuan burst into a smug smile.

Tiger pouted and sat aside, still wanting to ask, but felt that if he continued, everyone would think he’s dumb. So instead, he decided to pretend he understood everything.

"Brother Xuan, I think the reason you did this wasn’t just to show the Celestial Dao Alliance that we have backing, right?" Zhao Yi asked meaningfully.

Liu Zixuan nodded, "If our opponent was only the Celestial Dao Alliance, then doing this would certainly be excessive. Whether there’s backing or not, we have to fight them. But there are too many unknowns now."

"Whether it’s Venerable Ghost Nether or those Hidden Sects, and even the Dragon Spirit which hasn’t yet acted, we must guard against all of them. The reason I released this smokescreen is firstly to buy us some preparation time and secondly to intimidate them, preventing them from making a move against us directly in the short term."

In the original plan, Liu Zixuan hadn’t intended to establish a flag since he never aimed to become a Martial Realm bigshot or unify some forces.

But the journey to pick up Ye Lianyi made him change his mind, temporarily targeting the Lv Family.

Because before, he only considered the Dragon Spirit, but who would have thought Venerable Ghost Nether would appear along with Qian Lin and Bai Hua, and those secretly rescuing them as well.

He hypothesized if that person hadn’t appeared to secretly rescue them, would they have safely returned to Qian Nan on that day and now laugh and chat in the Lv Family main hall?

Even if he broke Venerable Ghost Nether’s array and rescued Ye Lianyi and Zhao Yi, what about Qian Lin and Bai Hua?

Although they are from a Hidden Sect, and no direct contact now, what about the future?

Liu Zixuan must take responsibility for everyone around him; these unknown dangers must be planned for early.

And the only solution is to do things he originally didn’t want to do.

Such as raising a flag.

By doing this, he would have a legitimate reason to confront the Celestial Dao Alliance. Once he defeats them, he would likely obtain the Relic Pearl to enhance his allies’ strength, and recruit many talents from the Martial Realm, undoubtedly boosting his overall power.

Thus, when facing the Hidden Sects behind Ye Lianyi and Venerable Ghost Nether in the future, he would have greater assurance!

As for the smokescreen just released, the so-called backing and trump card, they don’t actually exist.

All along, Liu Zixuan’s trump card was himself.

His backing was also himself because he knew that in the end, one can only rely on themselves.

Of course, he didn’t explain this to his brothers because Shi Ke was present. Although the Shi Family Ancestor agreed to cooperate, he hadn’t had direct dealings with them. If they have ulterior motives, today’s actions would indeed become Liu Zixuan’s fatal flaw!

Currently, those from the Celestial Dao Alliance dare not act directly against Liu Zixuan. Certainly, they are confused or wary of the smoke screen he deliberately released, so this gives Liu Zixuan the opportunity to do many things.

"What’s the next step?" Zhao Yi asked.
