Chapter 35 – Sect Leader Shen felt utterly exhausted, both 's fault for being over-alarmed The fear that the disciples of the Dereat
Back then, before he entered Closed Door Meditation, Yan Wushi+ had fought all three De them He wiped out more than half of the elite disciples in the Mirror of Arts Sect, and the Harreat losses If he hadn't lost to Cui Youwang and needed to heal his wound by entering Closed Door Meditation because of that, it would be hard to say what the situation of the three sects would be like today
Despite all that, the fear toward the name Yan Wushi+ was already carved into their bones
Bai Rong was still young She didn't have the chance to fight against Yan Wushi+ during that tio, she was ordered by her master to sneakily attack Yan Wushi+'s eldest disciple, Bian Yanmei, but she accidentally bued to escape with all her strength, and ever since then, she developed a deeper understanding of the nan”
If Shen Qiao wasn't alone today, she would never risk co the ”Spring Water Fingering”, the dreaded narrow escape she ain froer ca was too scared to take it directly She slid to the side and retreated However, unwilling to let go of the prey at hand, she pasted herself tightly onto the side of the carriage and slipped the long way around it in an atte Shen Qiao under control from behind
Who knew that Shen Qiao would have eyes on his back as well His pointing finger turnedwith alth contained within it was sohtly
As it was no could she not realize that she had failedShen Qiao spitting blood earlier in the carriage, she had assuth, but he unexpectedly still had so 's palms were soft and tender The pair of pretty and delicate hands was enough to invoke the tenderness in any man's heart to make them reluctant to attack However, Shen Qiao was an exception Since he couldn't see, any Enchantment Art based on appearance had no effect on him
Their palms closed in on each other's quietly without a sniff of powder It looked ht
Bai Rong felt as if her chest was hit by a hard blow Her eyes widened in disbelief She clenched her teeth and struck her other hand out at the carriage The carriage burst apart in an instant, sending the frightened horse galloping forward Shen Qiao leaped up and landed on the horse's back Reining the horse as hard as he could, he finally forced the h came from behind, ”Mister Shen is so sentimental and soft-hearted that you won't even harm a horse I'm actually a little jealous of Sect Master Yan now!”
Seeing that Shen Qiao was distracted by the horse, Bai Rong refused to give up and caught up with him from behind Her words sounded affectionate, but they did not stop her froht at Shen Qiao's back and didn't care at all if Shen Qiao ended up disabled He could still recite the Book of Free Will as long as he was alive and able to talk!
Shen Qiao heaved a sigh as well Instead of turning back, he lowered hi the reins in one hand, he pressed the horse onto the ground with the other to make sure it wouldn't be harmed because of him As soon as the horse was down, he iht toward Bai Rong
Bai Rong had already suffered a loss and dared not to fight hiain She immediately withdrew her palhs: ”Mister Shen is willing to save even a horse, yet you're so heartless to uess I'll just co sure that the other person had finally left, Shen Qiao didn't even have the strength left to stand He tried to bend dohile holding the horse's back, but his legs suddenly failed hiround
The horse knelt on the ground and finally calhed a few times and tilted its head and stared at Shen Qiao, its watery eyes filled with puzzleht pat ”Sorry, I've caused you trouble…”
Before he could finish, blood welled up inhis throat and he was unable to keep it down He covered his mouth subconsciously, but blood continued to seep out between his fingers
Shen Qiao simply put his hand down to let the blood pour out Then he wiped the stain on his lips with the sleeve
He breathed out a sigh of relief, only to be greeted by a fit of lightheadedness His ears were buzzing, and his head i desire to just fall down like this, close his eyes, and not care about anything in this world
Such a state was not uncommon to him Ever since he was injured, his body was often like this, prone to feebleness As his et any better For one thing, his wounded meridians were constantly stirred by his frequent involveed at a faster rate than he could repair And for the other, he had reached a bottleneck in cultivating the inner qi of The Strategy of the Ver time while the inner arts of Mount Xuandu alone was not sufficient enough to fully heal his da used to it, he still felt very sick and he had to lean against the horse to rest with his eyes closed He was going to wait for the dizziness to pass before getting up Otherwise, his current state wouldn't even allow hiht at this ti from a place not far fro, 'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it'?”
The voice was neither too sharp nor too low, nor was it deliberatelya question very politely
It was as if he was asking for directions rather than picking a fight
Shen Qiao didn't open his eyes He only answered with a hoarse voice, ”Your voice sounds a little unfamiliar We haven't met before”
The person who just arrived answered courteously, ”Yes, this is our first ti to be faster thanwas a step faster than me, otherwise I wouldn't be the one to reap the benefits Are you okay?”
Shen Qiao shook his head ”I can't get up Sorry about that”
The other person was very considerate, ”It's no proble said that, he showed no intention of cohed, ”I still don't know your nah we just met, I already feel like I've been such old friends with Sect Leader Shen that I al I'm fro around without a set residence”
'Guang' was a rather rare nailistic world with that family name could be counted on one hand
Shen Qiao said, ”How is Shen honorable enough to have the sect race reeted, ”I have long admired Sect Leader Shen's reputation It was a pity that we didn't have the chance to retful when I heard that Sect Leader Shen fell off the cliff Little did I expect to be blessed to see your graceful bearing of defeating two people in a ro lucky a can save all those courteous quotes Can you please go straight to the point? Otherwise, I'er and will pass out soon Then I won't be able to hear what you're trying to say”
Guang Lingsan didn't need to experience it hiht now Seeing how the other person was still able to chat and laugh, he actually felt sosan said, ”Sect Master Yan took an item from the Mirror of Arts Sect and still hasn't returned it to this day So I have to invite Sect Leader Shen to spend some time in the Mirror of Arts Sect”
Shen Qiao replied, ”Then I'm afraid you've miscalculated I probably have no other use to Sect Master Guang apart fro food A pair of chopsticks that Sect Master Yan uses is probably worthhad now become a laborious job for hih the sentence His eyebroere slightly furrowed and his face extre to breathe his last in the next second
Guang Lingsan also feared that Shen Qiao was going to die, so he reached out with his hand wanting to feel his pulse and replenish his inner qi
As soon as he touched the other person's wrist, Guang Lingsan suddenly round, a shallow dip appeared right where Guang Lingsan had been standing
”They all say that the reason why Sect Master Yan brought the injured Sect Leader Shen back is because you want to humiliate him and make him your toy But frosan with a smile ”It has been many years since we last ant than before!”
Yan Wushi+ glanced at Shen Qiao The latter had either fallen asleep or passed out He was already co softly next to his body and his eyes closed There was a large stain of blood at the end of his sleeve
Yan Wushi+'s eyes shi+fted back to Guang Lingsan ”During the years that I was not around, the Harmony Sect suppressed the Mirror of Arts Sect so badly that you couldn't even stay in the Central Plains anymore and had to move to Tuyuhun Aren't you a bit too incohed, ”Of course I'm not as capable as Sect Master Yan You even have the former sect leader of Mount Xuandu in your hands, not only to warm up your bed but also to help you cultivate And you can use hi three birds with one stone indeed, and other people won't have your luck nohim for a few days at first, but I didn't expect that Sect Master Yan would value him so much that you would rush over without a halt”
Dressed like a scholar, he looked gentle and refined, yet he spoke just like the typical style of the demonic sects, without any restraint
Yan Wushi+ said, ”I heard the Mirror of Arts Sect has been doing so well in Tuyuhun these past years that even Kualuyu Khan is acting at your beck and call Well, farther from the Emperor, freer from the law You must have felt like a fish in water over there”
When he spoke, it was always in a lightly provoking manner People with violent temper would undoubtedly be riled up But because Yan Wushi+ was also exceptionally skilled in ht him for it Over time, such a tone had actually beco Lingsan replied with a faint smile, ”We cannot compare with Sect Master Yan The Emperor of Zhou relied heavily on you The Northern Zhou was your Cleaning Moon Sect's territory; The Harmony Sect monopolizes the trust of the Emperor of Qi; The Southern Chen has the Linchuan Institute, while the Buddhist and Daoist sects are glaring covetously on the side Our Mirror of Arts Sect is so lonely and weak that we have no choice but to move to farther places Well, it's our choice either”
Yan Wushi+'s phoenix eyes slightly narrowed ”If that's the case, why don't you stay in Tuyuhun and continue running your sect? What're you co to the Country of Zhou for?”
”I came to see Sect Master Yan of course I would like you to return the Redolent Bone to the Mirror of Arts Sect”
Yan Wushi+ sneered, ”Return? Is your nainally belonged to my deceased hed out loud, ”You didn't dare talk to row countless guts in ten years?”
Although the world of , there was at least a layer ofpaper called morals and ethics But the disciples of the Demonic Sects really put the principle to its extre they wanted, while the ones eak had no one else to blao, before Yan Wushi+ entered Closed Door Meditation, the other two sects dared not to even breathe loudly under the pressure of Yan Wushi+ However, ten years could alsofear
Of course, Yan Wushi+'s martial arts improved drastically over the ten years of Closed Door Meditation, but the others also had san was also one of the great experts in the Top Ten — even if there was a gap between them, it would not be an iled to open his heavy eyelids
A blur of light caer complete darkness, but what he could see was still very limited, not much better than an open-eyed blind So he sientle voice next to his ear, ”Mister Shen You're awake The medicine is ready It's still hot Let me help you with it”
It was Ruru's voice Shen Qiao recognized it She was a servant girl taking care of hi his stay in the Residence of the Junior Preceptor
