Chapter 578: Beautiful Su, Did You Miss Me?
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled outside, but it was very lively inside Yun Chujiu’s tent. Yun Chujiu placed an Illuminating Pearl on the top of the tent, took out some cards, and started playing with Feng Ming and the other two.
“Junior Sister Little Jiu, why didn’t you make a move just now?” s.h.i.+ Xuan asked Yun Chujiu curiously.
“It’s nothing. I just wanted to look cool. Who would’ve thought that heavenly lightning would help us before I even made a move,” Yun Chujiu said with a smile. She wanted to take the opportunity to see what Zhuo Piaoyu and the others were planning. The poison pill did not work, so was she trying to use the beast to kill her?
“That’s right! It’s such a pity! I can imagine how shocked Junior Sister Zhuo and the others would be if Junior Sister Little Jiu used the Little Jiu Thunderbolt! It’s such a pity that you were interrupted by the heavenly lightning!” Geng Yi said with regret. He finally understood what Yun Chujiu meant by pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger. The feeling of face-slapping must be very refres.h.i.+ng.
However, although it felt good to pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger, the feeling of being misunderstood and looked down on was not great either. One needed to have a strong mentality to bear it. Only someone as thick-skinned as Junior Sister Little Jiu could bear it. He would have long broken down if it was him!
The rain lasted the whole night. It was not until the next morning that the sky cleared up again. Everyone packed up and continued mining.
Wu Yanyu did not mock Yun Chujiu that day, which was rare—she just mined silently. Zhuo Piaoyu was thinking about how to kill Yun Chujiu, so she did not pay too much attention to it.
When everyone was mining, a group of people walked over from afar. When everyone turned around to look, they felt a little uneasy. The people who came were actually wearing uniforms from Heavenly Gates Sect. There were almost a hundred of them, and the leader was Su Yanran.
Yun Chujiu’s heart sank. They were most likely coming for her. Otherwise, everyone would have scattered once they entered the ancient mine, so it would have been impossible for them to gather like that. The Heavenly Gates Sect was not there to mine, they were most likely here to kill her. That Du Guyi really hated her to the core.
“Senior Brother Feng Ming, you guys don’t have to care about me. Just leave. I have a way to escape.” Yun Chujiu whispered to Feng Ming.
How could Feng Ming agree? “Junior Sister Little Jiu, the sect leader ordered the three of us to protect you. How could we leave you behind? Don’t say such things anymore!”
No matter what Yun Chujiu said, Feng Ming and the other two did not agree. Just as Yun Chujiu was about to continue persuading them, Su Yanran led her people and surrounded them.
When Yun Chujiu saw Su Yanran, her heart was moved. At Wuwei Tower previously, Su Yanran was still at the first level of the Spirit Cultivator realm. She did not expect that in a short period of time, she had advanced to the fourth level of the Spirit Cultivator realm. How could her cultivation speed be so fast?
“Yun Chujiu, we meet again!” A cold smile appeared on the corner of Su Yanran’s mouth. ‘This time, Yun Chujiu, you would not be able to escape even if you had wings.’
“Ahh, Beauty Su, did you miss me? Why are there strong feelings of longing in your words!” Yun Chujiu said with a smile.
“Hmph! I do want something. I want you to die! Kill them all! Leave no one alive!” Su Yanran raised her hand and ordered the disciples of the Heavenly Gates Sect behind her.
“Wait! Wait! Junior Sister Su, our Spirit Radiance Sect and the Heavenly Gates Sect have always had a good relations.h.i.+p. Why do you have to kill all of us?” Feng Ming said with a smile, trying to stall for time.
Su Yanran glanced at him, her eyes flickered. “Alright, since Senior Brother Feng Ming brought this up, I will give you all a chance. Let’s see if you can seize it! As long as you kill Yun Chujiu, I will let all of you leave. Otherwise, all of you will stay and be buried with Yun Chujiu.”
