AST 2201 - Talk Only If You’re Strong, Payback (1/2)

Qing Shui’s move was too blunt. There wasn’t much of a silhouette nor did he say anything either. He simply attacked quickly.

The remaining people were scared and angered. However, seeing Qing Shui, they couldn’t say anything. The Demon Gate Junior Sect Master wasn’t too far away, furrowing his brow. He was in league with the Five Tiger Immortal Palace, coming and leaving together, but the problem now was that their enemy was extremely strong. One wrong step and they could end up dead.

A normal person was afraid of death. For those who weren’t, they were just completely disheartened. An example would be an eighty-year-old with a full family that was all killed overnight. It didn’t matter how they died, because the old man was still disheartened in the end.

These people were naturally not like that, so now they all hesitated, realizing that they could do nothing against him.

“Why did you kill him?” One of the men from the Five Tiger Immortal Palace asked Qing Shui.

There were some times where popping your head out was dangerous, but you still had to do something. There was nothing he could have done in this scenario. They were still people of the Five Tiger Immortal Palace who had received respect from the outside. Other people that met them gave it immediately, or just continued to move.

However, in this situation, they had to ask someone something apprehensively, and that person could kill them at his very whim.

“He was being too annoying like that. I couldn’t take it.” Qing Shui said lightly.

This made the man a little scared. Whatever type of reason this was, it was just a smack across the face, making the Five Tiger Immortal Palace lose face and forcing them to make a move. But could they even do anything? Their opponent could beat the Blazing Fire Immortal Palace Palace Lord.

The strong could massacre the weak, and no matter what the weak did, it was useless. These were the thoughts of the man who was worried that Qing Shui would just casually kill them.

“Alright, I’m not in the mood to kill people. Just leave!” Qing Shui said casually.

The Demon Gate Junior Sect Master didn’t say anything throughout the entire altercation. Not because he was afraid of saying anything, but instead, it didn’t matter what he said. He had no thoughts on the matter, and if he said anything bad it could make the situation worse.

“Thank you sir, for saving me. I have nothing to offer you as gratitude except for this, which would just cause trouble for us. Since you’re so strong, this gift would be much suited for you.” The two men from before who weren’t hurt gave Qing Shui a gift.

Qing Shui looked at the two of them and said, “I’m not here to take anything from you.”

“We know. We have already thought that something like this would happen. Keeping this would only be bad for us,” the man said seriously.

“What is this?” Qing Shui asked curiously.

“These are Heavenly Magic Stars, which can increase a type of passive strength of demonic beasts.” The man explained.

That was definitely a good thing. The best part being that it was for the strongest of the demonic beasts, otherwise it would be a waste. Qing Shui furrowed his brow: “It’s good and I do want it, but it’s too important.”

“It may be important, but it can’t be used if the person using it is dead. Since you have saved my life, though this isn’t much as repayment, I wish to give it to you,” The man was sincere as before.

Qing Shui also didn’t push the matter anymore, and after accepting it, healed the wounded man’s arm. He then said: “If there’s anything urgent, you can come to the Northern Emperor Domain’s Imperial Cuisine Hall to find me.”

“Thank you sir!”

The two people were very interesting, not giving any conditions, and not beating around the bush. Qing Shui thought that the character of those two was not bad. After coming around, it was known that Qing Shui had received the gift from those two, whom Qing Shui had helped, so after this no one bothered those two.
