602 The Carefree Building (1/2)

When Xu Que and Liu Jingning left the area a lot of cultivators were gathering in they kept a low profile and didn't draw attention of many people.

In such a noisy, crowded place, cultivators were constantly coming and going. Some people went to scout the Celestial Burial Valley in advance. Some people decided to leave on the spur of the moment.

However, Xu Que, who left with Liu Jingning and a dog, was a little bit eye-catching.

”What? The guy who left just now looks quite familiar!” a man murmured to himself from behind Xu Que with a frown.

Someone beside him turned around and took a glance. ”D*mn!” he said. ”I know him! He's the Lightning Rogue!”

”Holy sh*t! No wonder he's so familiar to me! I remember when he was fleeing, he took a dog with him!”

”Exactly! The butt of that dog is bald! That's him!”

”The Lightning Rogue is here! Let's take him down! We have to erase this despicable man from this world!”

Many people who had been injured by the lightning which had been intended for Xu Que suddenly recognized him. And they were furious.

Luckily, most of the cultivators had come here with the main forces of the big families and sects, so they hadn't seen Xu Que before.

Those who had been struck by the lightning were cultivators Xu Que met on after setting off from Desolation City. Therefore, their headcount was not very high, and their uproar didn't draw the attentions of most people. Also, most of the cultivators who had been tormented by Xu Que were still in Desolation City.

Around 100 cultivators formed a revenge team immediately. They started to chase Xu Que, shouting, ”Kill the Lightning Rogue” with rage.

Those uninvolved were quite curious and began asking about the Lightning Rogue.

The big shots of the big families and sects were also distracted by the noise. After learning they were chasing a man who always stabbed others in the back, the big shots soon lost their interest. After all, the main purpose for their being here was to kill Jiang Hongyan!

As a cultivator who had reached the summit of the Infant Transformation Stage, Jiang Hongyan didn't deserve such a big scene. However, the identity and talent of Jiang Hongyan were both way too extraordinary.

The Jiang Family worried that Jiang Hongyan might seize back power after crossing her tribulation. The other big families and sects worried that Jiang Hongyan's return might strengthen the Jiang Family, which could throw off the balance between them.

Therefore, they all shared the same target, and they could only rest assured after Jiang Hongyan's death.

The most important part of the alliance between these Holy Sons and Holy Virgins was their agreement that the one who killed Jiang Hongyan would be the number one Holy Son or Holy Virgin in the East Continent.

So, the big families and sects had attached much importance to this issue. It seemed they had come here to kill Jiang Hongyan, but really they wanted to assist and protect their distinguished Holy Sons and Holy Virgins when they strived for the reputation of number one in the East Continent.

”Jiang Hongyan was quite good in those years. It's a pity that her magic art is incomplete. I will definitely be the one who kills her!” Xiao Munan, the Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect, spoke coldly with a chilled expression. His voice was saturated in an overbearing, domineering aura.

As he spoke, some cultivators at the Golden Core Stage and the Original Infant Stage became quite pale as if they had been burdened by an enormous pressure.

”Lord Xiao is so majestic!” The Holy Virgin of the Bai Family replied with a faint smile. ”However, I remember you once tried to woo Jiang Hongyan. But your courtship was rejected. Your hatred originates in your love, right?”

Her words caused an uproar among everyone listening.

Did the Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect try to woo Jiang Hongyan? Was his courtship reject?

My God! I didn't expect something like that could happen to the majestic Xiao Munan!

The Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect's face darkened. Apparently, Bai Lingrui provoked him by raking up his embarrassing issues.

”Hmph! I was too young and too naive back then. But I remember you were a copycat following after Jiang Hongyan in those years. You always called her 'Sister Hongyan' so that you could get elixirs from her. Since the relationship between you and her is so good, why are you here now?” The Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect snorted sarcastically.

His words astonished everyone.

Even the powerful Bai Lingrui used to be a little girl following Jiang Hongyan!

She is the successor of the Azure Lotus Treasure Appraisal Art! I didn't expect her past to include this! The little girl has evolved into a Holy Virgin coming here to kill Jiang Hongyan!

The Holy Virgin of the Bai Family's face also darkened. However, soon an innocent and lovely smile appeared there instead. ”As you say, I was still a little girl in those years. How could I know the meaning of being haunted by misfortune? Now I'm grown and know I should have the East Continent's interest in mind. I can't allow Jiang Hongyan to turn the East Continent into a misfortunate land!”

Hearing her words, the onlookers nodded in agreement.
