“Speak, little benefactor”

“Firstly, I hope that you’ll teach your students the correct pronunciation of the entire scripture instead of i a fake version And secondly, I hope that you’ll try to decipher its real ”

As pedantic as Monk Lianhua was, he was not a foolishan expression of reluctance, he said, “The killing desire of little benefactor is already inordinate Are you still looking to use the scripture to increase your killing desire further?”

“After deciphering it, you can decide not to ifu”

Gu Shenwei unsheathed his saber and cut off the heads of the four disciples He then found his way downhill to where his horse was and rode it back towards the city Though Death Scripture was by no fu manuscript, it had a definite connection with Wayless Book , which Barren Sect was preoccupied with

While Gu Shenas engaged in a life and death struggle with the four Barren Sect disciples, a huge battle was also taking place in Jade City

Shangguan Ru had , to replace the Sacred Master guarding Six Kills Temple The most capable “black-ht to keep watch at the exit of the valley and follow the Barren Sect disciples back to Jade City At the same time, another killer was sent to follow Slave Huan from a distance
