Chapter 189: The Road Ahead Is Full of Danger (1/2)

“Bitch! Wait till we get back to the Spiritual Treasure sect! See how I’ll deal with you then!” Anger filled Qiu Heng’s cold eyes as he watched An Shiyi walk side by side with Nie Tian, talking and smiling.

At that time, the Heaven Gate in midair had already disappeared.

All the disciples from the other sects followed along after Hong Can and his fellow sect members had dashed off in the same direction as Feng Luo.

Qiu Heng was the only one left behind.

After inwardly cursing An Shiyi for a while, he looked up and saw the surging demon Qi. He couldn’t help but start to feel terrified.

He was well aware that it was very unlikely that he could safely return to the Spiritual Treasure sect by himself.

Even if he ran into only one outsider on his way back, considering his cultivation base, he probably would end up killed.

After hesitating for a while, he let out a sigh and sped off after everyone.

Nie Tian marched side by side with An Shiyi behind Li Fan and the others. He turned to her and asked, “What’s wrong with that guy? It seems that he doesn’t like you very much. Isn’t he a senior of the Spiritual Treasure sect? He should protect you and help you all the time, but why did he force you to do and say things that he was unwilling to?”

Actually, Nie Tian had long noticed the unpleasant look in his eyes since he came back from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace and landed in the teleportation portal.

Afterwards, he discovered that Qiu Heng had disagreed with everyone else in many occasions, and whenever they faced danger, he would do everything to keep himself safe.

He had behaved exactly the same when the others were determined to go to the Blood sect. However, he didn’t have the courage to say his opinion, so he beckoned for An Shiyi to do it for him.

From what Nie Tian could tell, even though Qiu Heng had a rather high status in the Spiritual Treasure sect, he was small-minded and hard to get along with.

“Oh, him?” An Shiyi’s slender eyebrows furrowed as she said in a low voice. “He’s thinking the same thing Gang Kang did.”

“Gan Kang!” Nie Tian suddenly realized what was going on and said, “So that’s how it is…”

He had long since learned from An Ying what intentions Gan Kang had with An Shiyi and how he had tried to force her to marry him.

Now that An Shiyi told him that Qiu Heng harbored the same intentions as Gan Kang, Nie Tian immediately knew what kind of person he was.

He looked deeply towards An Shiyi.

She was wearing a long, rose-red dress, which brought out her curvaceous body. Every smile and move of hers was elegant, and her captivating eyes could easily sink any man.

She was in her prime, as beautiful as a blossoming flower, which many men wished to pick.

Being so charming, but not from a powerful family, no wonder men from the Spiritual Treasure sect pursued her all the time.

Nie Tian had long since heard that countless men from the Spiritual school and Treasure school drooled over her beauty, and many of them held lofty positions in the sect.

“Gan Kang is dead, and now comes this Qiu Heng person…” Nie Tian gave a snort and said, “If he dares to step over the line and mess with you, I’ll make sure he goes to meet Gan Kang in hell!”

“Gan Kang is dead?” An Shiyi’s jaw slightly dropped, rounding her red lips.

She only knew that Gan Kang had abandoned the Spiritual Treasure sect and disappeared from the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range. She thought he had left the Realm of Flame Heaven and gone to the Realm of Dark Underworld with Lai Yi.

As long as Gan Kang was alive, he would always be a giant stone weighing down on An Shiyi’s mind.

Especially now.

According to the foreign trial takers, powerful experts from the other realms had been plotting against the Realm of Flame Heaven and would surely invade, or already had.

The Realm of Dark Underworld was one of them.

An Shiyi had been worrying that Gan Kang would return to the Realm of Flame Heaven with powerful backers one day, and take her or force her to marry him again.
