Chapter 674 (2/2)

Trekking the mountain pathway in the middle of the night was very dangerous for ordinary people. But Jie Walie and his two brothers frequently hiked on mountain pathways and were also very strong, so it did not pose them any problems. This time they came out in a hurry and only brought a few spare clothes and a few compressed biscuits and water, so they did not have a heavy burden on the road.

Longquan Swamp.

Stars were shining in the vast, boundless sky, with some of them illuminating the place. On the flat ground at the entrance of the mountainside cave, a pile of bonfire burned with meat roasting above. Two experts from the Everlasting Feast Hall were sitting cross-legged before the bonfire and chatting about some issues on their cultivation.

On the mountain peak at the opposite side about two kilometers away from them, Daoist Qiankun was like a ghost sitting quietly under a big tree, looking toward the bonfire outside the cave while silently observing the two experts of the Everlasting Feast Hall. He could still see everything clearly even at night with his current eyesight.

Jin Sijie, whose Sky Piercer Halberd was taken by Tang Xiu, ordered the Strange Door’s people to help him find a weapon before he left a while ago. It was a very common ordinary spear, but its weight was over a hundred pounds. At this moment, he was holding that long spear and standing ramrod like a javelin beside Daoist Qiankun.

“Master, why don’t we get rid of them earlier? Even if the news of the investigation comes and that Tang punk does indeed have a huge force behind him, no one will know who did it.” Jin Sijie felt a bit vexed and grumpy inside. The last battle here had made him lose face as he ended a complete loser and suffered quite heavy losses, hence he wanted to vent it by killing them.

“Killing them now is no different then killing them later.” Daoist Qiankun shook his head with indifference. “Let’s wait a bit, the news will probably come soon.”

“You just said that killing them now or later is just the same, then why the wait?” Said Jin Sijie. “We can go to the Immortal Abode and find a way to open the portal to the Immortal Trove if we kill them now. Otherwise, in case that surnamed Tang notices it and then return with a lot of experts, wouldn’t it be the same that we would no longer have the opportunity?”

“Before we get the news, killing these people and going into the cave, in case that brat Tang was to return here while we were inside and happened to besiege us inside the cave, what should we do then?” Commented Daoist Qiankun with a smile.

Ugh… Jin Sijie was at a loss for words.

“Hence, there’s no need to be impatient and anxious,” continued Daoist Qiankun. “Set up a plan and then get into action afterward, only then can you live longer. Had I realized this truth back then, that Old Blind wouldn’t have been able to…”

“Then you wouldn’t have been trapped by me, this Old Blind, for so many years, right?” An old voice drifted into Daoist Qiankun and Jin Sijie’s ears along with the cold wind.

Daoist Qiankun and Jin Sijie’s faces greatly changed, especially the former, who directly floated up into the air. He watched the surroundings with vigilance as his cold and cloudy voice also drifted along with the cold wind, “Why not show up since you are already here, Old Blind?”

In front of the Master and disciple duo, a blind old woman with unkempt hair and donning ragged clothes slowly stepped into the air, step by step. And yet, each one of her footsteps created ripples and turbulence in the air.

“Qiankun, I never expected that you would actually escape from that Abstruse Yin Ground alive. Fortunately, this Old Blind did not go with that little kid, else you would have already created a heartless calamity in this area.”

Daoist Qiankun’s eyes were bloodshot, the chilling killing intent he exuded out creating turbulence in the air around him. Despite having formidable strength, Jin Sijie was still forced out for several meters by this killing intent before he could anchor his footing with a face devoid of color. Daoist Qiankun stared at the blind old woman and said, “You’re not dead yet, damned Old Blind, so how can I possibly die?”

Old Blind let out an indistinct sigh. After she flew high and stood ten meters away in front of Daoist Qiankun, she shook her head and said, “It seems that I was too soft-hearted back then. I should’ve set a fire in that Abstruse Yin Ground and burned you alive in it. I could have saved… Now I really must come out and waste my strength.”

“Old Blind, I killed your family back in the past because your father spoiled my good work!” Daoist Qiankun sneered. “You trapped me for 60 years, causing my cultivation to drop, and also got my Imperial Dragon Chart ruined. Wasn’t that enough for our enmity to be written off?”

“I also thought to write it off originally.” Old Blind helplessly said. “But who could have thought that you don’t want to let me spend my remaining years in comfort? Those four kids are that little kid’s men. They must not die, and neither must that little doll of mine. Hence, I still have to act if you don’t give up your sinister ideas!”

“You keep repeating that little doll, kid or whatever, for many times. Excactly who’s this little kid?” Asked Daoist Qiankun indifferently.

“Don’t ask what you already know!” Said Old Blind. “Do you still need to play dumb and feign craziness before me?”

“Tang Xiu?” Said Daoist Qiankun with a frown.

“If it isn’t him, who else could it be?” Said Old Blind faintly. “That kid promised to secure a place for this Old Blind to enjoy her old age in comfort, and this Old Blind also wants to find the turning point of my own uncanny divination of becoming a God through him. You’re planning to scheme him, that’s equal to scheme against me.”

“What exactly is the identity of this brat surnamed Tang, and why is he worth to be concerned about by you, old bastard?” Asked Daoist Qiankun with gloomy expression across his whole face.

“I can’t see him clearly. I can’t understand him thoroughly.” Old Blind shook her head.

“WHAT?”

Daoist Qiankun’s face greatly changed. He was also proficient in divination arts and its calculation, but it was a Heavenly Secret technique he snatched from Old Blind’s father. Only after a long time of persistent meticulous study on it was he finally able to grope about the doorway for a bit. In this regard, he thought that he was much better than this Old Blind. With himself unable to divine that brat surnamed Tang, and she could not calculate it either, then what did this entail?
