Chapter 1149: Running Faster Than a Rabbit
It was not until the light faded when they saw Huangfu Qingjue holding Ling Chuxi’s waist with one hand and a semi-circle with the other. A faint coc.o.o.n-like golden halo wrapped around the spot the killer was standing earlier as strong airflow rippled within it.
What powerful strength!
The True Qi self-detonation that was comparable to a full-strength attack of a realm of Heaven Essence expert had been successfully suppressed by him in such a casual and calm manner. It was truly amazing.
Everyone felt as though they were looking up at a mountain when they looked at Huangfu Qingjue. They were so shocked that they could not say a single word.
After a long while, everyone finally recovered from their shock.
“We had just decided to let you live. How dare you hide your killing intent and ambush us. We will not let you go this time, no matter what.” Zhou Kaitai and the others drew their swords and shouted angrily at Liu Qingfeng and the others. They were so angry that their bodies were trembling, wis.h.i.+ng they could cut these people into a thousand pieces.
Fortunately, the sect leader reacted quickly and used a dagger to defend herself before Huangfu Qingjue rescued her in time. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
“Sir, that person was not someone from Huifeng Ridge. We haven’t even seen him before.” Liu Qingfeng and the others quickly explained as they broke out in cold sweat. This was bad. As they had guessed, that person had jumped out from their team. Thus, it wasn’t a surprise for them to be blamed for this mess.
“How dare you quibble!” Zhou Kaitai and the others were furious, the veins on their hands bulged. They were simply waiting for Ling Chuxi to give out the orders. And of course, this time they would not let anyone get away.
“Sir, the person just now was indeed not someone from Huifeng Ridge. Moreover, I don’t think there is a need for them to have ambushed us earlier.” Lei Wanshan also explained on behalf of Liu Qingfeng and the others.
“Yes, sir. After you gifted us the Golden Cauldron Pill, how could we have any ill intentions towards you? Do you think we’re crazy?” Wu Tianlang quickly followed up.
Although these words were philistine, they were the truth. Such a great force had intimidated them yet tempted them with the Golden Cauldron Pill. They would have been crazy to even think of harming Ling Chuxi.
“Forget it. They’re not involved in this. Let them go.” Ling Chuxi thought about it before waving her hand at Zhou Kaitai. Ling Chuxi obviously knew that this was definitely not the work of Liu Qingfeng and the others.
“Thank you, my Lady. We will definitely pledge our allegiance to Sword Heart Gang with no other intentions.” Before anyone could object to Ling Chuxi’s decision, Liu Qingfeng and the others rolled and crawled away, running faster than rabbits.
“My Lady, even if the a.s.sa.s.sin wasn’t invited by them as a whole, he could still have been involved with at least one among them. If we let them go just like that, I’m afraid there will be endless trouble in the future,” said Zhou Kaitai worriedly. How dare they even think of a.s.sa.s.sinating the sect leader? They really deserved to die!
“Well, what do you propose instead? Kill them one by one to prevent trouble in the future? Are you willing to do it?” asked Ling Chuxi with a smile. She knew that Zhou Kaitai was also very loyal, so she was not angry.
“Well, I…” Zhou Kaitai hesitated. If it was a knife fight, killing a few people wouldn’t be a big deal. But could he really kill a thousand people just because of his doubts and couldn’t let one go?
