Chapter 231 (2/2)

Although he knew Gong Qinyin had her own reasons, he still couldn't completely let it slide. If it wasn't for the fact that Gong Qinyin had helped him before, he would have been even more cold-hearted toward her.

A layer of mist covered Gong Qinyin's eyes as she choked with emotions and said, ”Shaoyun, I know words are pointless at this point. I will prove myself through my actions. In the future, I will never do it again, even if the alternative is death!”

Gong Qinyin spoke solemnly, and it was almost like she was swearing an oath. After speaking, she stepped aside and let Xiang Shaoyun leave. She was different from Lu Xiaoqing. She had always been a proud and aloof person. Even though she adored Xiang Shaoyun, she wouldn't fully display her affection like Lu Xiaoqing. Instead, she behaved in a resolute manner.

Xiang Shaoyun glanced at her, his heart softening as he said, ”I hope so.”

He then strode away from Gong Qinyin's place.

Staring at Xiang Shaoyun's departing back, Gong Qinyin muttered, ”I will never commit the same mistake twice! I will also never change the person I like. I will prove myself with actions!”

Xiang Shaoyun was heading back to Long Hui's estate. His plan was to wait there for the estate Hua Cheng was going to give him. Only after that would he think of what his next step should be.

He had a sensation that a crisis was approaching him. It was not a sense of crisis originating from the Lightning Alliance. Rather, he had a feeling the traitors were silently catching up to him.

The feeling had been growing stronger as days went by. He could only hope that the local tyrants could serve as some sort of deterrence. Otherwise, he alone would find it extremely hard to escape his pursuers.

At a certain dangerous mountain range within the Soaring Dragon Province, a group of powerful cultivators were traveling rapidly toward the Hundred Beast Mountain Range. Each of them was riding a high-level demonic beast and was dressed in high-level battle armor, looking incomparably mighty and heroic. Any one of them was strong enough to instantly be at the very top of the hierarchy of any city they went to.

”Commander, why are we taking such a large detour? This is a waste of time,” asked someone in the group.

The commander replied calmly, ”The Soaring Dragon Province is the turf of the Dragon Society, and the Dragon Society has always had an unfriendly relations.h.i.+p with our Ziling Sect. If they find out that so many of us have entered their turf, they won't spare us. This detour is for our own safety.”

”What? The Dragon Society is powerful enough that we need to show them fear?” that person said in realization. He paused for a bit before saying resentfully, ”If it wasn't for that old b.a.s.t.a.r.d leading us on a wild goose chase, we would have caught that trash by now.”

”If we still fail to capture that trash this time, we might as well cut our heads off ourselves,” said the commander gloomily.

He had been leading the group to capture that person for two whole years with no results to show. If they kept failing, they would definitely suffer a terrible punishment at the hands of their own sect. At the thought of that, he urged everyone to move faster.
