Chapter 403: Revenge Never Sleeps

Chapter 403: Revenge Never Sleeps

Xu Qi’an’s heart steeply sank, raising his hand to grab and ingest the saber leaning against the side of the wigwam, striding to meet the young girl with red eyes, “Where is he?”

“It’s been sent back to the manor.”

Autumn Cicada Clothes led Xu Qi’an towards the outside, sobbing as she said, “Ling Yun was sent back, his legs were chopped off, we couldn’t summon his soul, and Uncle White Lotus said that he had a wish that was yet to be fulfilled.”

The corner of Xu Qi’an’s mouth pursed out a cold arc.

Through the gardens and down a path paved with green stones, the two men came to a courtyard, and as they approached, they heard a wail.

The courtyard was crowded with people, the door of the main house was open, and Golden Lotus and White Lotus, Chu Yuanzhan and Li Miaozhen were all in the house. The rest of the disciples stood in the courtyard.

In addition, Xu Qi’an saw an unexpected person.

Lord Ryu of the Inkwell.

Xu Qi’an crossed the threshold, his gaze swept around and landed on the bed, where a young man lay with rounded eyes and a ghastly white face, long dead.

His legs were chopped off from the knees with a flush cut, and the person who struck was not only powerful, but his weapon was also unusually sharp.

Xu Qi’an took a deep breath to keep her voice calm, “Who did this?”

Duke Liu arched his hand and said in a deep voice, “It’s a mysterious young man wearing a white robe and leading two giants wearing bucket hats around him. I heard that he clashed with Daoist Blue Lotus of the Earth Sect at the Three Immortals’ Place, and the giants at his side injured Daoist Blue Lotus with a single slap”

The restaurant hall belonged to a relatively closed space, the distance between the two sides would not be too far, and the martial artists had an overwhelming advantage over the other systems, but even if the Blue Lotus Taoist Master belonged to the middle and lower levels in the Lotus Taoist, the other party’s strength, at least, was also the senior fourth rank.

Xu Qi’an nodded expressionlessly.

Duke Liu continued, “And then, that person issued a public bounty, taking out four magic weapons in one breath, threatening that whoever could chop off one of Duke Xu’s arms would be rewarded with one magic weapon, and if he chopped off four limbs, he would be rewarded with four. If he can chop off and decapitate Duke Xu, he will give all the magic weapons in the entire sword box to the one who accomplishes the feat.”

Li Miaozhen sneered, “Hubris.”

She seemed even angrier than Xu Qi’an.

Chu Yuanjian frowned slightly and analyzed rationally, “So it seems that the white-robed male was aiming at you, Ning Banquet?”

Heng Yuan folded his hands and shook his head, ”Amitabha Buddha, the poor monk thinks it’s unlikely, Lord Xu was in the capital before and just came to Jianzhou today, it’s unlikely that the news would spread so quickly and even attract his enemies.

“Unless that white-robed gentleman is in Jianzhou itself, but Duke Liu said that that person has a mysterious identity and is not from Jianzhou. Therefore, he should be coming for Lotus.”

Master Hengyuan’s IQ was still above the baseline, probably on par with Li Miaozhen.

Daoist Master Golden Lotus looked toward Xu Qi’an and said in a deep voice, “Do you have an impression of this person?”

“I don’t recognize him.” Xu Qi’an shook his head, paused, and smiled coldly, “But I probably understand which power he belongs to.”

Throughout the nine states, many forces and major systems, who could easily take out so many magic weapons and treat them as if they were grass?

Szeto can!

However, the Sithian Supervisor wasn’t the only one, it was accurate to say that only a Warlock could do it. And it had to be a high-grade warlock, up to a fourth-grade array master, in order to refine spells.

That white-robed male was backed by high-grade warlocks.

High-grade warlocks that were not from the Si Tian Supervisor were all too familiar to Xu Qi’an.

The Qi Luck in my body is related to the Mystic Warlock gang, and they had wanted to make a move on me while taking advantage of the tax and silver case, that white-robed male should have known about the Qi Luck, otherwise, he wouldn’t have shown such strong hostility towards me.

The Mystic Warlock gang is finally going after me?

Xu Qi’an breathed slightly sharply.

But soon he dismissed this guess, Master Hengyuan was right, this was a chance encounter, that white-robed male should have coincidentally known that he was in Jianzhou.

Such a high-profile stance is not in line with that mysterious warlock’s style, it shouldn’t be him behind the scenes, it’s luck that brought me into an encounter with that white-robed gentleman

In that case, it might be an opportunity for me.

Kill him, invoke his soul, and clear up all the confusion.

When the crowd saw that he was silent and showed no signs of wanting to explain, they did not pursue the matter.

Duke Liu said, “And then, that white-robed male captured Ling Yun, chopped off his legs, and made him crawl back. I wasn’t present at the time, and when I learned the news, I immediately rushed over.”

Speaking of this, Duke Liu revealed an angry expression:

“I saw Ling Yun crawling on the street, dragging out two long trails of blood, he was already blurred in consciousness and still struggling to crawl . That white-robed male was following right beside Ling Yun, holding plum wine in his hand, laughing and watching the fun, not allowing the bystanders to save Ling Yun.

“Ling Yun crawled all the way outside the town before he died, and when that white-robed gentleman left, I, I dared to go up and bring him back sorry.”

Li Miaozhen gritted her teeth.

The White Lotus Daoist nun’s pretty face was like a shroud of frost, she had just heard it all over again, but it was still hard to hide her anger.

“Senior Golden Lotus, has my Tiandi Association been reduced to this state? Anyone can step on it.” The White Lotus Daoist nun wailed, “Ling Yun is the child we watched grow up.”

Daoist Master Golden Lotus looked at Xu Qi’an and said in a deep voice, “His soul can’t be summoned and his eyes won’t close, do you have anything to say to him?”

Xu Qi’an walked over to the bedside and wordlessly looked at Ling Yun, and after a long time, he softly said, “You’ve accomplished your mission.”

He reached out and wiped his hand on Ling Yun’s face, and his eyes closed

Xu Qi’an was struck by lightning.

Daoist Master Golden Lotus comforted, “Death is not the end of the road for a Daoist disciple, we will raise his soul. He is just accompanying us in a different way.”

Xu Qi’an was noncommittal and looked at the crowd:

“Then the situation is dangerous now, the Martial Arts Alliance, the Earth Sect, King Huai’s secret agents, and this guy who appeared out of nowhere, his strength is unclear, but the two escorts by his side are at least pinnacle Fourth Grade. Moreover, a multitude of magic weapons is to be expected.

“Tomorrow, even if we have a formation boost, can we really stand up to so many experts with just the few of us?”

This question was pondered by all present, and the conclusion was disappointing.

Earlier, immersed in the fury of Ling Yun’s encounter, no one had been mentioning it just yet.

Worry flashed in Daoist Golden Lotus’ eyes.

“Have all disciples exit the courtyard, I have an idea .” Xu Qi’an whispered.

The crowd immediately looked over.

The White Lotus Daoist nun went out and dismissed the disciples in the courtyard.

After the door to the room was closed, Xu Qi’an slowly said, “Since the advantage of the home field has been compressed, rather than waiting for the enemy to gather tomorrow, it would be better to take the initiative and divide and conquer.”

He met the gazes of the crowd and said in a deep voice, “Kill the past, after dusk, kill the past!”    The White Lotus Daoist nun didn’t expect him to utter such nonsense and blurted out:

“It won’t work, we have to guard the Lotus Seed, how can we kill the town. Besides, the town is full of experts nowadays, it’s impossible for you to defeat them without the addition of the formation.”

Giving up home field advantage to kill the enemy is asking for death.

Xu Qi’an said, “That guy purposely made such a big commotion and insulted Ling Yun, isn’t he just trying to lure me over, he definitely knows my background and understands my temperament.”

Regardless of whether it was the knife beheading of his superiors in the beginning, or the solo blocking of the rebels in Yunzhou, or even the later beheading of the Duke of the State, it was enough to show that Xu Qi’an was an impulsive and violent martial artist.

What that guy did in the daytime was either inherent to his character or an attempt to lure him into his own trap.

“Then you’re still going?” Li Miaozhen frowned.

“I said to kill over there, but I didn’t say to fight in the town.” Xu Qi’an sneered.

“What do you mean by that?” Chu Yuanzhan froze.

Xu Qi’an didn’t answer positively, but instead analyzed:

“Tomorrow, the forces assembled in the town will attack in force, and we will have to bear all the pressure. The martial arts alliance’s experts, the Earth Sect’s experts, King Huai’s spies, and that newly appeared little bastard. Because of this, we may not be able to win even with the formation’s added power.

“But what if the enemy is divided in advance?”

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Qi’an left the courtyard and saw that the disciples of the Heaven and Earth Society had not dispersed and were assembled outside the courtyard.

Autumn Cicada Clothes reddened her eyes and took a few steps forward, her young girl’s face carrying expectations, “Eunuch Xu, you, you’ll avenge Ling Yun’s death, won’t you.”

Xu Qi’an nodded wordlessly.

The disciples bowed and saluted.

Small town, somewhere in a residence, the girl Rong Rong was sitting on a small wooden tie in the courtyard, resting her cheeks and staring at the sky.

“What are you worried about?”

The soft and melodious voice came from behind.

Rong Rong hurriedly popped up from the small muzak and lowered her head, “Master of the building.”

Xiao Yue Nu nodded slightly, her bright autumn water eyes turned around Rong Rong’s body and laughed, “After you came back, you went around inquiring about the identity of that gentleman, and you fell for him?”

Rong Rong froze and shook her head with a bitter smile.

“It seems to have taken a liking to him.”

“No, it’s not.”

Rong Rong was just about to explain when Xiao Yue Nu’s words rendered her speechless, “I’m talking about Xu Qi An.”

Rong Rong said in a thin, mosquito-like voice, “Not really lah, disciple is just admiring him and looking up to him, that’s why I’m worried about him.”

Admiration does not discriminate between men and women.

For example, Duke Liu of the Ink Pavilion, who was extremely close to her, also looked up to Xu Yinluo very much.

Xiao Yue Nu nodded, “That white-robed male brother, his origins are mysterious, and the two escorts beside him are extremely powerful, even in the Sword State, they belong to the top ranks. His own strength has not been displayed, but he also feels that it is not weak.”

Rong Rong was worried, “I can feel that a lot of people have been tempted by those magic weapons. I’m afraid Xu Yinluo will be in danger tomorrow.”

“When you mess with such a powerful and wealthy enemy, danger is inevitable. However, Xu Yinluo’s strength is equally not weak, and he is protected by the Vajra Divine Power. Although he is not a match for those two escorts, escaping for his life is no problem.” Xiao Yuenu said in relief.

It’s good to stay alive.

The town’s inn after dusk.

The white-robed and jade-ribboned Qiu Qian stood by the window with his arms folded, two giant men sat at the table, one silent, the other admonishing in a deep voice, “Young Lord, you’re going to disrupt the plan like this, it’s not permitted to do so.”

Qiu Qian laughed coldly, “You should be clear about my situation. Doing nothing will only make it more difficult for me. However, if I can capture Xu Qi’an and bring him back.

“All threats and coveting will dissipate, and no one will be able to shake my position again.”

The left envoy continued to exhort, “A person who possesses great fortune will always turn misfortune into good fortune. Even that person can only go with the flow, otherwise he would have died long ago and would still need you to make a move?”

Qiu Qian frowned, a little displeased, “Qi Luck isn’t everything, otherwise, who would still cultivate? All compete for qi fortune.”

He twisted his head, glanced at the setting sun in the west, and tsked, “It seems he was underestimated, that he didn’t take the bait… well, it’s possible that his companions around him stopped him.”

As he was talking, there was a knock on the guest room door, followed by a push.

Qiu Qian frowned and turned back to see a handsome and peerless young man standing outside the door with a saber at his back waist, his icy gaze sweeping over the three.

Looking at this obviously disguised fellow, a hideous smile appeared on Qiu Qian’s face, “Xu Qi’an!”

“It’s me!” Xu Qi’an nodded his head, giving an affirmative reply.

“You did come.”

Qiu Qian revealed a smile of triumph in his plan, “I’ve analyzed your character, impulsive and strong, and you can’t rub sand in your eyes. I openly provoked and killed that Earth Sect disciple in the town, with your character, you definitely won’t tolerate it.”

“I guessed.” Xu Qi’an nodded, once again giving an affirmative answer.

“Then have you guessed that the Earth Sect’s demonic Taoist priests and King Huai’s spies have surrounded the entire inn at this time.” Qiu Qian’s smile carried the confidence of being in control of the situation:

“A senior told me that everyone’s character has a weakness, and if you grasp it, you can strike a blow.”

Several strong auras leaned in, closing in on the inn.

The smile on Qiu Qian’s face grew even wider.

“You do grasp the weakness of my character.”

Xu Qi’an, who was always expressionless, revealed a cold smile, “Smarty pants.”

As the words fell, a white-clothed silhouette suddenly appeared in the room, accompanied by a low chant, “The sky is the shore when the sea reaches its end, and I am the peak when the art reaches its peak.”

As he stepped down, the ground lit up with formation patterns, quickly covering the entire guest room.

In the next moment, everyone present disappeared.
