Chapter 10: Soul-eating Beasts (Part 2)

Lu Jue gazes into the direction that Qi La has disappeared He is unable to senseto retreat to the boat to await Qi La’s return Only when he turns around does he discover that a dark shadow has been stationed uned period of time

A layer of sweat rises to the surface of Lu Jue’s palm

To be in such close proximity to him and not be detected, thisenough o hide away all traces of him If he ever decides to assassinate someone……

“Yo, hello” The tall and broad-chested reets him with a low and attractive voice “Do you still reo, in the forest of the north, ere fighting over Tong Que” A dangerous teasing glint is seen in the smile in his eyes

Lu Jue’s pupils tighten instantly He looks at the tall ging his powerful physique closely His face is like the silhouette of a dim valley, yet when he smiles, the dismissiveness at the corner of his lips is identical to the boy froo

“Why are you here?” Lu Jue scans the area

“Oh,on Nether’s face is still dangerous He sounds as if he doesn’t realize how unco the weather

As if a thought suddenly strikes hilares from Lu Jue’s irises He looks at Nether silently

“You should know these two They’re both Qi La’s disciples as well” Nether continues After saying that, his gaze towards Lu Jue is challenging, as if ad slowly on its back

“Why is it that I do not know of such an i?” Qi La stares at Thalia He finds it hard to believe that the young girl he had arded as monstrous is now a noble lord of the Aslan Empire

“You know, you’re already so old, why are you so dra like a thundercloud is shrouding her body “Didn’t I come all the way just to tell you this?”

“I should hear so like this frolare is firm In his eyes, the words “you are not worthy” is painted obviously

“Hehe~ ai yah~ Qi La, why are you still putting up that pretense? You’re no longer the Top Lord, let’s put the laughable pride aside You have to remember that I am the Forth Lord, just one rank below you Nether is now the Second Lord, so by right, when you see hi him some respect So, you……” Thalia’s eyes are as clear and beautiful as cherry blosso, “Should find closure”

“No I will ask the Silver Priests personally” Qi La turns to leave, ignoring Thalia completely

Thalia clenches her teeth before chasing after him

Along the vast coast of rocks, only Nether’s lean and powerful shadow can be seen perched high on a rock The wind blows his robes open, revealing most of his bare body in the sea wind Hisair

Qi La scans the area When he fails to spot Lu Jue, he closes his eyes gently to sense the surroundings, yet he still feels nothing

“Where is Lu Jue?” Qi La asks Nether coldly

“Didn’t see hilances behind Qi La Thalia’s light pacescarried over by the wind

“If you dare touch Lu Jue, you ish you were dead instead of alive” Qi La looks at Nether’s perverse expression as he speaks with a voice as cold like he is form the depths of hell

“I won’t dare He’s your disciple, isn’t he, hter, “Oh no, I shouldn’t call you ot that I’m already the Second Lord now”

Anger of being ridiculed is blatantly expressed on Qi La’s face, yet he suppresses his anger and does nothing

“The only person I touched was Zang He Then again, he’sso I had to wake him before I killed him I mean, he was the Disciple of Earth, I didn’t think he’d be that weak……”

Nether’s words cut of abruptly An icicle releasing cold ainst Nether’s throat

Thalia’s pupils tremble She hasn’t seen Qi La move Just what kind of speed was that…must too fast……

There is not a hint of fear as Nether gazes at Qi La He even goes as far as to push Qi La’s icicle higher up onto his neck A drop of blood rolls down along his neck and onto his toned chest “If you have it in you, then killout the mission the Silver Preists tasked ainst the entire Aslan E hunted down by that new aood Hahaha……” Nether’s adahter

Qi La clenches his teeth as his hands shake Finally, he tosses the icicle into the ocean

Thalia lets out a silent sigh of relief She opens her radually senses a secret, and this secret causes he to pale slowly

Qi La e rock As he raises his hand, a thin but sharp wall of ice rises suddenly fro the rock into half easily One half of it splashes loudly into the ocean, leaving the other half perched on the coast like a sainst the wall After a few strands of his golden soul powers interle with the surface of the rock, the smooth surface of the rock wall is now a chess piece

“This chess piece returns to the i back to ask the Silver Priests personally If any of you happens to chance upon Lu Jue, tell hio back to the imperial capital to find me”

“Will youback as well, and this place is really so far from the imperial capital……” Thalia says delicately as she appears behind Qi La
