Bie Yanghong looked at the sight outside the room, his gaze focusing.
That short figure exuding that foul and cold Qi seemed to cultivate the foulest methods in the world, but why did this Qi seem a little familiar?
But at this moment, there was no need to ponder these things.
”We are people foreordained to die, while that child is still young. Moreover, he has something very important to do today, so he cannot be disturbed.”
Bie Yanghong was addressing Chusu's confusion.
Wuqiong Bi had no mind for such things. She spat at Chusu, ”Just what sort of monster are you?”
Chusu smiled, but said nothing.
His smile was unpleasant to the eye and emanated a deep chill.
Wuqiong Bi became even more disgusted.
Bie Yanghong said, ”I see the Qi from a senior on you. Could it be that he really did cultivate such a wicked technique?”
Chusu said nothing to this, though he seemed to be thinking of something.
After a while, he shook his head, ceasing his pursuit of those matters.
”I know that the two of you are very powerful. Even though you are both heavily injured and she has lost an arm and a great deal of blood, your final counterattack is still not something I can take. Thus I will not approach you. I will use the steadiest and most serious of methods to slowly and cautiously kill you.”
Chusu added, ”And then I will eat you to see if I can add to my skills.”
Wuqiong Bi was infuriated at these words, shouting, ”What nonsense is this madman saying!”
”I am speaking seriously,” Chusu said. ”The method I cultivated mentioned such a possibility, though no one has ever tried it.”
Bie Yanghong recalled a certain rumor and his expression chilled. ”You truly do cultivate the Yellow Springs Flow.”
Chusu did not react too much to having his cultivation method exposed. He continued to stand outside the room.
The toxic fog gradually crept towards them.
The crystals on the floor lost their last luster and the wooden pagodas faltered at the assault, cracking as they toppled.
Countless scraping noises could be heard as thousands of mice rushed out of the ground and into the courtyard, quickly covering the white stones.
These mice were covered in dirt and grease, their fur withered, their tiny eyes suffused with blood. It was an eerie sight.
Both the sight and the sound caused one's hair to stand on end.
Chusu stared at Bie Yanghong and Wuqiong Bi, his eyes also turning bloody red, his smile eerie and horrifying.
He raised his right hand pointed forward.
Countless mice squealed as they charged past him and into the room.
Wuqiong Bi's face went ghastly white as she hid behind Bie Yanghong and screamed.
”Quickly kill these monstrous things!”
……
……
A gasp of surprise could be heard in front of the Imperial City.
This was soon followed by many more.
The gasps of surprise joined together, gradually turning into the roar of a sea.
Even after the crowd was slightly pacified, the plaza was still buzzing.
Buzzing with the chatter of conversation.
Just a moment ago, a piece of shocking news had been delivered.
Xiaode and the He clan expert Xialuo had formally announced their withdrawal from the Heavenly Selection ceremony!
The ceremony had already reached its last phase, just a step from the final victory, supreme glory, and a beautiful future, but now participants were withdrawing?
This was especially bewildering in Xiaode's case—he was a true expert of the front ranks of the Proclamation of Liberation who was viewed optimistically by all of the demi-human populace. No matter how domineering Xuanyuan Po had appeared two days ago or how mysterious was the young man in the bamboo hat, Xiaode's status in the hearts of the populace was unshakable, and yet he had also withdrawn?
But why?
No matter how much the crowd speculated, Xiaode and the He clan expert had already withdrawn.
