398 Developments in Ying City (2/2)

”I shouldn't have asked about this kind of thing...” Meng Qi's face was twitching. There had thankfully not been others around when Gu Xiaosang had addressed him as such before, but now Senior Brother Qi was listening to their conversation! How was he going to face his friends in the future? They would mock him till the day they died! The little glutton would never let such an opportunity pass!

”Haha. I killed Green Cultivator, but it seems like you don't care at all?” Meng Qi quickly changed the topic.

Gu Xiaosang giggled again. ”He colluded with outsiders on his own, so it serves him right! You're my husband and the future Sanskrit Dharmaraja anyway, so what's a dead Cultivator to me?”

Meng Qi decided to stop talking nonsense to the demoness, and turned to look at Qi Zhengyan instead.

Since Qi Zhengyan's face was currently like the bottom of a pot, his emotions were even more imperceivable. ”I'm a disciple of 'Huanhua Swords Sect' after all, so I've reported the matter to the elders in River East, saying that they're after the impartation I obtained from my adventure. If it's about 'The Myths', they'll surely be very interested.”

”Tch, so you're gonna play it up huh...” Meng Qi's eyes shone. He too could find an opportunity to report the matter to Six Fan School using his nark identity. There were Slivery-badge Arresters in Ying City, and they were not too far away from Guangling City.

He could still leave secret signs on the wall near the city gate entrance to see if any other members from ”The Immortals” were around.

Of course, he could not directly meet and contact members of ”The Immortals”. After all, in the previous Samsara task, he had imitated the aura of Skythrowing Palm. Although no one in The Myths practiced Eight Nine Mysteries and did not know about its mystical abilities, a majority of them would think that it was a special item and believe that he and the others had just happened to be there at that time and were temporarily working with ”The Immortals”. However, if he continued to appear to have any connections with The Immortals, The Myths would be able to figure out that he was ”Heavenly Primogenitor” no matter how stupid they were.

”Luo Denomination also has Cultivators in Ying City,” Gu Xiaosang interrupted. She sounded lively as she added, ”I entered the first level of Ninth Heaven's ruins and realized that someone else had arrived first. That caused me to reap much fewer gains and pissed me off. For now, I suspect it's 'The Myths', so since I have this chance, I'm definitely going to take my revenge on them. Plus Luo Denomination's Sanskrit Dharmaraja, Oracles and Cultivators are very 'interested' in this mysterious organization.”

The demoness' words seemed both true and false at the same time and thus could not be fully trusted... Meng Qi believed that Gu Xiaosang was not the kind of person who would go all out purely for the sake of revenge. Unless there was some kind of benefit to it, she would not care less.

What exactly was her goal?

”Junior Brother Meng, you should be careful these few days. I'll hide at Huanhua Swords Sect's Ying City stronghold to wait for the elders and secretly watch out for anyone who might be targeting you at the same time,” warned Qi Zhengyan. He did not want to hide at Luo Denomination's place because Gu Xiaosang was a dangerous person.

”Based on what you've said, 'The Myths' are only concerned with venting their anger and this has nothing to do with any benefit they might be coveting. As an organization, such actions won't last very long, because once you've fought them once and didn't cause them great losses, they'll usually give up after that.” Gu Xiaosang comforted her ”hubby”, all smiles.

After discussing for a while, the two of them slightly stepped back and did not rejoin the sea of people.

Just then, Gu Xiaosang secretly stole a glance at Qi Zhengyan with amusement.

Chang Hui finished demonstrating his bladesmanship. He was panting and extremely emotional as he fell to his knees and bowed. ”Thank you so much for demonstrating your bladesmanship, Young Master Su! This has been a wish of the entire Chang family for years!”

Meng Qi's giving advice from before was partially considered the grace of a teacher. In a world where masters were extremely dignified, Chang Hui's actions were not considered flattery at all.

Meng Qi had not even had the chance to answer when he heard Wang Zai exclaim, ”You could follow the bladesmanship variations from beginning to end and fill in the gaps in between! Such a realm of Knife Dao is truly admirable. Brother Su, I didn't know you were already at this level.”

He did not say much, but the Jianghu crowd was enlightened all of a sudden. They cast looks of surprise and shock and glee at Meng Qi. It was almost to the extent of a grandmaster opening his own school, and one that had created its own impartation moves at that!

Of course, it would only be a small sect.

”As expected of Brother Wang Zai, making it difficult for me to escape his flattery with just his comments...” Meng Qi felt a bit like tears were stinging his eyes. He gave Chang Hui a restrained smile. ”There's no need to be so polite. I just happened to arrive at some insights from your bladesmanship.”

Back when he had first seen the ”Yama's Invitation” that Jiang Zhiwei had created herself, he had also been awestruck. Now, he too had reached such a level.

Yan Chong had deeply gazed at Meng Qi. His evaluation of him had been raised higher yet again.

Chang Hui returned to the raised platform after profusely thanking Meng Qi, and numerous others immediately leaped out. However, one of them was faster than the rest, zipping past them like a breeze and arriving at the center of the practicing field first.

He was wearing the robes of a Yuehua Sect disciple and appeared fairly normal, but he had a determined air to him that made him seem to have the bearing of a master.

Several of the Yuehua Sect disciples let out gasps of surprise as if they had not expected to see the man there. It was a gathering for young masters, and while he was young, he was most definitely not a master! Hastily entering the arena would disgrace their sect!

However, in Meng Qi and Yan Chong's eyes, that ordinary disciple had attained the Eight Aperture s level, an Eight Aperture s level where his flow of genuine Qi was as smooth as drifting clouds or flowing water!

”I am Yuehua Sect's disciple Ying Shaozhuo. Please instruct me, Young Masters.” The disciple cupped one hand in the other before his chest and said.

He was directly challenging Meng Qi and the others!

Jianghu was huge-- it was not that some people were not strong, it was just that they had not had the chance to make it big!
