Chapter 1617: You’re Overthinking It
“The Liushang Sect gives up on assassinating Xiang Qiyan; you stand down, how about that?” he suggested.
“Not a chance.”
Qian Jiyun coldly responded with three words.
Dare to lay hands on An Jiuyue and still expect him to spare their lives? What wishful thinking!
His moves became even more ferocious, as he directed his Original Soul energy straight at the Great Elder’s forehead. Had not the Great Elder dodged quickly, half of his head would have been sliced off.
Even though he dodged, he was still hit in the chest, blood beads splattered out, and there was now a long, deep wound at his chest.
The Great Elder knew that this time he was doomed, so he could only retaliate fiercely.
…
Outside the town, a group of disciples was stationed not far away.
“Brother Zheng, just who is that man? So many people, all killed by him.” A female disciple asked her senior brother while eating her dry food.
So many in Black Clothes, all killed by that man—it showed how strong he must be.
The key point was, they traveled with him all this way and had not detected that this man was so formidable. If they had realized earlier, they wouldn’t have neglected such a generous person.
“I don’t know.”
The Brother Zheng being asked merely responded indifferently.
He had no interest in who that man was, but he was all too clear about who those dressed in Black Clothes were.
Assassins from the Liushang Sect usually only targeted their mission’s objective. This time so many of them had been killed by that man, he wondered if there would be a counterattack.
In the Feather Abyss Plane, although the Liushang Sect was not considered a large sect, its strength lay in numbers. A swarm of ants could cause pain all over the body if each ant took a bite.
He didn’t understand; that man had been hastily traveling the road with only one purpose, so why did he suddenly, without a word, attack those from the Liushang Sect here?
Even when strong demonic beasts were encountered along the road, he did not lift a finger but just coldly watched them slay the beasts. They had even thought him to be a noble young master who was very generous but lacked real strength.
Little did they know, when he finally took action, it was shockingly formidable.
“There should be more people from the Liushang Sect in this town, right? Could that man have some deep-seated grudge against the Liushang Sect?” another male disciple asked softly.
“If we had known that he was so powerful, we should have tried to build a good relationship with him from the start. It wouldn’t have come to this point where we can’t even speak a word to him now.”
The female disciple sighed softly.
Such a powerful man should be with them, and besides, he was so outstandingly handsome. If she could capture his favor, that would be…
She felt her face growing hot with regret for having misjudged. If she hadn’t, being close to water, she might get the moon first—winning such a husband would have brought great benefits to her family.
“Junior Sister Qingyu, you’re overthinking,” Brother Zheng responded with a cold look.
It wasn’t that he looked down on Gu Qingyu, but that man was no ordinary person. He wouldn’t likely take notice of them.
Down the road, he also felt that they only shared the same destination with that man. Recalling their initial encounter, the question the man asked them, it was probably the Cold Soul Flower Core they were after.
That’s why he was waiting here, to see if he could set out to sea with that man.
