Everything he did.
Was for the sake of being alone with Yuan Jimo today.
Wanting to kill this Chief of the Imperial City Department... was no easy matter, and Xie Xuanyi did not plan to use [Chen Yi], nor did he intend to break through his cultivation in this battle. Yuan Jimo was already a powerful figure in the Late Stage Yin God Realm; even if he did break through, the freshly consolidated Rule of Destruction might not be certain to slay him.
He only prepared one move.
This was the only killing move, and also the most direct and certain one to be effective.
The lotus left behind by the Pure Yang Master.
Even the Five-Colored Ridge Yin God Perfection Prince Wu, couldn't block this Lotus Sword Intent's slash; even if Yuan Jimo hid his realm, it would be impossible to resist this level of Killing Intent.
But…
Even with the "lotus," it might not be smooth sailing to kill Yuan Jimo.
