Chapter 467 (2/2)

Shou Xie offered no reply. Instead, he stared blankly at the ghostrune kings, disbelief in his eyes.

Xiang Shaoyun frowned and increased his voice, ”If you are fine, I'm leaving.”

Shou Xie grabbed Xiang Shaoyun's hand and asked expectantly, ”Wait, brother, wait, how have you subdued these ghostrunes? Do you possess a high-level devil taming technique?”

Xiang Shaoyun pulled his hand away and said, ”What does that have anything to do with you?”

That was a sensitive question. After all, everyone had their own secrets, and Shou Xie's question was too direct and improper since the two weren't even close.

When Shou Xie saw Xiang Shaoyun's displeased expression, he realized his slip of tongue. He laughed awkwardly and said, ”Haha, my apologies, Young Master Xiang. I was too impatient. But I really didn't mean any malice. In fact, I still need to thank you for saving my life!”

”There's no need for that. Just leave. I am going to keep moving ahead,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a wave of his hand.

Prior to this, the two had not spoken much to each other. Xiang Shaoyun had initially a.s.sumed that Shou Xie was someone of few words, but it would seem like that was not the case.

”Young Master Xiang, allow me to accompany you,” offered Shou Xie.

”Can you even keep going in your current condition?” Xiang Shaoyun questioned.

”No worries! It's just some light injuries! My mantis had blocked most of the attacks for me,” said Shou Xie.

”With your current strength, you won't be of much help if you come with me. It's better if you just leave,” said Xiang Shaoyun after a slight hesitation.

Shou Xie was also a genius among the young generation. However, his combat prowess was quite lacking, and that was the reason for Xiang Shaoyun to reach the conclusion that he should leave.

”No, Young Master Xiang, you can't abandon me! I am following you for sure!” Shou Xie started acting like a shameless rogue.

He had to find out how Xiang Shaoyun was able to have those ghostrune kings under his control. Since Xiang Shaoyun was stronger than him, he couldn't use force, and he could only hope that Xiang Shaoyun would voluntarily offer the information. And for that to happen, he had to earn Xiang Shaoyun's trust, becoming his friend or even brother.

Shou Xie was a beast tamer capable of taming demonic beasts, but he had never tamed any devilish beasts before. He wished to learn more about that from Xiang Shaoyun.

Xiang Shaoyun could see that, and his heart turned cold as he thought, He is the same as the likes of Huo Xudong.

He then ignored Shou Xie and started heading deeper into the devil wind beast territory with the ghostrune kings. The number of devil wind beasts were supposed to increase the deeper he went, but he found that their numbers were actually reducing. Apart from the whistling sounds of wind, nothing else could be found when he went deeper.

”What is going on here?” Xiang Shaoyun could not understand what was happening. He further increased his speed and continued ahead. Meanwhile, at the depths of the valley, Yu Caidie and the others had already discovered the yin devil wind's location.
