Chapter 98 - The Two Celestial Envoys (2/2)

The silhouette within the shadows flared up. One after another, emerged the contours of giant heads which were lit with six faintly glowing flames of a dozen feet in radius – they were the eyes of the silhouette, "Don't you dare to dip a finger in my territory!"

"All you want is the thing hidden beneath the Swords Gate of Great Wilderness, whereas I only intend to find that person. You won't have to worry yourself about me interfering with your matters."

'Senior Martial Brother Xiao' smiled and said, "I am here to help you, you should feel happy. You and I both aren't pure-blood Xiao Mang Celestials, you're tainted with the blood of humanity while I with that of the monsters. Our status in the celestials isn't high. Only when we help each other do we stand to mutually benefit. Little cousin, what do you say?"

" Hmph !"

The silhouette in the shadows gave a cold sneer and said, "You and I are about the same age, Xiao Chuqing is not your daughter, is she?"

"Of course not, she is our cousin, child of the temple's grand elder and a human slave."

"Senior Martial Brother Xiao" laughed and said, "Cousin Chuqing is very intelligent, she devoured her mother the moment she was born, the grand elder favors her a lot. That's why he sent her over. If you neglected the orders given of you, it might just be possible for Xiao Chuqing to replace you."

The shadows ebbed and flowed away, "Replace me? Hehe, that little girl is still not fit … you want to find the person from the moon? I won't stop you. But if I ever find out that you laying your hand on my matters, then don't you blame me for flipping the table over!"

"Threatening me?"

'Senior Martial Brother Xiao' let out a cold sneer and marched towards Gu Xia City. As walked further, his appearance and stature started to change, even the unique air of the celestial race faded away only to be supplanted by a surging monstrous aura!

The thing underneath Swords Gate, how audacious of you to think of seizing it all for yourself? Too bad you simply aren't destined for it! It is still too early for you to decide who will get that treasure!

Not long later, 'Senior Martial Brother Xiao's appearance changed entirely, eventually turning into Lang Qingyun, the eldest disciple of the Lord of Xian Kong City. With a robust and brawny stature, he donned a black cloak and strode away.

Swords Gate Inner Hall – the elders from the elder council dispersed whereas the disciples surrounded Shui Qingyan and Xiao Chuqing while peppering them with various kinds of questions. The scenery was lively and bustling with noise.

Zhong Yue was about to leave when he felt his back shuddering an inexplicable cold sensation, it was as if a venomous serpent had its sinister eyes trained on him. He turned his head to see '"Shui Qingyan' staring right back at him.

Zhong Yue gave a warm bright smile as he lifted his hand up and gently wiped across his neck.

'Shui Qingyan's' countenance stiffened up and she softly felt her neck. An immense killing intent deluged her heart which was sensed by Xiao Chuqing standing beside her. Xiao Chuqing then asked 'Shui Qingyan' in a telepathic way through her psyche, "Senior martial sister has some enmity against this man?"

"He nearly beheaded me."

'Shui Qingyan' smiled and answered, "And this Zhong Shan Clan member knows of my identity. The previous messenger ensured me that he would be taken care of, he kept blustering that he would be eradicated without anyone knowing. But who knew that he is still alive!"

Xiao Chuqing chortled, her beautiful eyes glanced at Zhong Yue, she asked through the psyche again, "Why would we need the messenger to kill him? With our prowess, it'll be fairly easy to kill him, no?"

'Shui Qingyan' shook her head and said, "The Zhong Shan Clan member is not someone who can be underestimated, he has gotten the Swords Gate old brat's sword token and succeeded in cultivating the Great Boundless Sword Qi. Our last confrontation ended up with both of us badly injured. He pushed me precipitously close to forcing me to reveal my true form."

"He nearly forced Tian Mother to show your true form?"

Xiao Chuqing was shocked, then she laughed and responded, "Tian Mother, that was a long time ago, is it? Now you are a Qi Practitioner, your atman is incredibly strong, won't it be as an apple pie to eradicate a small figure like him? Now this Zhong Shan Clan member is at most a Rebirth Qi Practitioner; not to mention you, even I alone can easily kill him with but a finger."

The two young ladies were chatting and laughing, it seemed like as if they were whispering to themselves in innocent gossip, but no one would know that they were actually plotting a scheme to kill Zhong Yue.

"This Zhong Shan Clan member had just beaten up a few Qi Practitioners a few days ago, and some of them were Rebirth Qi Practitioners. I suppose that he had already cultivated to such a level."

'Shui Qingyan' took in a breath of air and said, "This brat, he is getting harder to read. Thankfully he had humiliated so many people from so many different clans. I will just have to slightly instigate them and all these Qi Practitioners would rush over to harass him. But the Swords Gate Qi Practitioners will only duel and refrain from killing. At most, he would be taught some lessons."

"He has already cultivated to the level of Rebirth?"

Xiao Chuqing glanced fixedly at Zhong Yue, her little tongue licked on her lips, a flash of excitement crossed in her saint eyes, "Such an exceptional man … Tian Mother, I want to eat him so badly!"

Zhong Yue recollected his sights and walked out. All of a sudden, Xiao Chuqing's voice came from behind as she shouted, "Senior Martial Brother Zhong Yue of Zhong Shan Clan!"

Right at this moment, Zhong Yue could feel countless pairs of eyes boring into his back.

"Senior Martial Brother Zhong Yue of Zhong Shan Clan, just now Senior Martial Sister Shui Qingyan told me that you nearly beheaded her during the Lawless Battles of the upper house, and you have beaten up tens of martial siblings."

Xiao Chuqing chuckled and said, "Don't you owe an apology to Senior Martial Sister Shui and the other martial siblings?"
