Chapter 82 (2/2)

Before her voice fell, a white figure suddenly appeared and thrust her sword at Xiao Chen. If Xiao Chen had not vaguely sensed a murderous aura, he could never dodge this stroke. Upon seeing this, Liu Fenghuang opened her arms and stepped in front of him, saying, “Senior Sister Chu, what are you doing?”

Xiao Chen did not expect that the comer was the woman he met in the river before. This person had extraordinary cultivation which was about middle Foundation Building Realm. There was no forbiddance in here, so it was easy for her to kill him.

Chu Lingjiao looked at her and then glared at Xiao Chen, coldly saying, “This bold rascal peeped me before…”

Xiao Chen felt a strong murderous intent from her eyes which was not because he peeped her but a sheer murder. She might have misunderstood that he had heard something from her. But she already wanted to kill him, and this kind of issue could never be explained. He said hurriedly, “It’s a misunderstanding! I was being hunted by someone and jumped into that river. I just floated by you, and I was definitely not intended to peep Senior Sister Chu…”

At present, he had only one protection, which was Liu Fenghuang. Once she left him, this woman surnamed Chu would definitely kill him because she was certain that he had heard something.

Liu Fenghuang finally met a person who praised her beauty and could wield the psychokinesis so adeptly. She said, “Yeah, Senior Sister Chu, this must be a misunderstanding. Don’t be angry. Just now we were able to get the dragon pill thanks to Junior Brother Han. By the way, have you seen Brother Duan?”

“Senior Brother Duan…” Chu Lingjiao glanced at Xiao Chen while speaking this name. She shook her head and said, “I haven’t met him since we parted.”

Before long, three male disciples came running from the other side of the jungle. They looked in a rush, and one of them carried a cloth bag that wrapped something. That man said, “We’ve found Senior Brother Duan. He…” He then unwrapped the bag. It was a head.

Several female disciples were shocked. Liu Fenghuang also looked shocked. She murmured, “Brother Duan…”

Xiao Chen clearly saw the head, which was exactly the one he had touched while escaping. Now, he was quite certain that the death of Brother Duan had something to do with this Sister Chu.

Chu Lingjiao let out a long sigh. “Brother Duan must have been ambushed by them. Junior Sister, don’t be sad. We will definitely revenge him!” Liu Fenghuang choked with sobs. She wiped off the tears on the corner of her eye and said, “Yes. We have to revenge Senior Brother Duan.”

“By the way, I heard that you’ve brought the ancient divine zither with you?”

Liu Fenghuang sobbed and nodded. “Yes.”

“Why are you so careless? What if the Skygale Sect takes it away? Give it to me now, and I will keep it safe.”

Liu Fenghuang nodded and was about to take out the Fuxi Zither string, when Shen Qian came up. She looked at Chu Lingjiao and said coldly, “Senior Sister Chu, have you forgotten the rules of our sect? Nobody can touch the divine zither except for the sect leader.”

Chu Lingjiao smiled gently. “I was in a hush and afraid of losing the divine zither, so I forgot this rule. Thanks for reminding me, Junior Sister Shen.” She then looked at Liu Fenghuang and said, “Junior Sister, you can’t lose the divine zither. Keep it safe.”

Liu Fenghuang wiped her eyes and said softly, “It’s okay. It’s safer for you to keep it.” She then was about to take it out again when Shen Qian quickly stopped her and said, “Junior Sister Liu! Do you want to make Senior Sister Chu be blamed by our master when we go back?”

Standing aside, Xiao Chen did not know what to say. Did Liu Fenghuang trust Sister Chu too much, or was she simply too innocent?

Shen Qian glanced at Chu Lingjiao again and asked, “There’s still something that I don’t understand. How did you and Senior Brother Duan get seperated?”

After her voice fell, everyone looked at Chu Lingjiao at the same time. Chu Lingjiao said calmly, “What, are you suspecting me?” As her voice fell, a dozen figures flashed over. They were the female disciples with her before.

Liu Fenghuang stepped forth and said, “All right, all right. Senior Sisters, stop arguing.” She looked at Shen Qian and said, “We can’t blame Senior Sister Chu on this matter. We will seek our vengeance on the Skygale Sect.”

Shen Qian gave her a look. “Junior Sister, we can’t conclude like this.”

Chu Lingjiao said, “Who else would it be if it were not Skygale Sect members that did this?”

Shen Qian’s eyes narrowed. “Senior Sister Chu was sure that the Skygale Sect did this. Have you seen it with your own eyes?”

“Then do you mean that I’m lying?”

For a moment, the people on both sides were at daggers’ points. Xiao Chen gently coughed and said, “Sisters, please listen to me. Now…”

Before he could finish his speech, the two women shot cold glances at him in the meantime and said, “What are you? Shut up!”
