Chapter 422 - Daily Life in a Demon Sect (32) (2/2)
“Fourth Prince, she—”
Fu Yirui reached out a hand and interrupted Bai-fu. “My mission is to arrest the culprit behind the kidnappings of young women. Everything else is out of my purview.”
After a slight pause, he continued, “And besides, if I(bw) were to interfere in jianghu’s matters, it would be a breach of the rules, no?”
Bai-fu frowned. As an imperial prince, Fu Yirui represented the court, so it was indeed inappropriate for him to get involved.
But he hadn’t brought many of his own people. And because of the previous losses he’d sustained, for him to fight with so many Demon Sect members…
“Fourth Prince, I can consider the matter of the weapons you raised last time.”
Hidden Sword Village was the only place that manufactured weapons for the court without belonging to it.
The Fourth Prince had already raised this topic with him twice. Although Bai-fu didn’t agree to it before, he had no other choice but to do so now. ‘Wu Zheng must be eliminated! Otherwise, jianghu will never know peace!’
Fu Yirui’s gaze was as vicious as a viper’s. “Village Head Bai is being serious?”
“Naturally.” Bai-fu’s expression darkened.
“Okay.”
“What do you mean okay? He just said he’d consider it, not that he’d actually give them to you. After you help him out, he could just find a reason to reject you, and maybe even sell the information that you’re purchasing weapons privately to the court. Fourth Prince, be careful ah!”
Shi Sheng’s spoke insidiously.
Fu Yirui examined her more closely. It wasn’t the look of someone looking at a pretty lady, but a deeper probing look.
‘Well she certainly dares to say anything…’
“He wouldn’t dare.” Fu Yirui’s lips curled into a smile that contained a hint of cruelty. “Wu Zheng, if you consider following me, I can spare you.”
“If you kneel down and call me ancestor, I can put you on the throne.”
He was simply asking for it by showing off to the ancestor of all show-offs.
Fu Yirui, “…” ‘I think it’s not that she dares to say anything, it’s that there’s nothing she doesn’t dare to say! Does she think the throne is a cabbage that can be gifted at will?! If it was that easy to take, would I need to expend so much effort?! This woman is too full of herself!’
“Fourth Prince.” Bai-fu reminded him.
Fu Yirui lifted a hand and the troops behind him immediately pulled out their swords. When his hand fell, they swept towards Shi Sheng.
She looked at Fu Yirui past the dense mass of people flooding towards her, her gaze as still as a frosty pool. It was as if the sounds of fighting had been completely blocked out by her, for they didn’t cause the slightest ripple in her eyes.
Not even a hint of anger could be seen.
Fu Yirui suddenly felt a chill run up his spine, as if a poisonous snake was slowly crawling up and wrapping itself around his neck, slowly tightening… His heartbeat accelerated as he felt his breathing turn difficult.
He didn’t feel this weird sensation even when facing his imperial father. Yes, it wasn’t pressure, but rather an odd feeling.
He backed away a step, which was the exact moment Shi Sheng attacked. The sword that suddenly appeared in her hand swept towards the soldiers, causing the front line to collapse without warning.
“Sect Master is awesome!”
“Sect Master is awesome!”
The moment Shi Sheng attacked, the Demon Sect members took the initiative to clear out and run to the side to act as cheerleaders.
Shi Sheng: (||| ¬_¬)
‘These idiots. Just how long am I(lz) going to have to hack to deal with this many people by myself? Fuck!’
Shi Sheng took out a lightning ball which she hadn’t used in quite a while and flung it at the charging troops. The sounds of explosions and screams mixed together.
[Demon Sect members in shock.jpg]‘Sect Master, where did you get such an overpowered thing?! They’ve been blasted out of existence!’
#My Sect Master actually carries explosives with her. Scared#
#There’s lightning and a deep hole after the explosion. May I ask, is this still gunpowder?#
