Chapter 2255: No Sense of Justice

Several distinguished young men of the righteous sects stood in front of Ning Shu. They looked majestic and extremely contemptuous of Ning Shu’s pursuers from the Sacred Demonic Sect.

The leader of the Sacred Demonic Cult pursuers stared at Ning Shu. “Qi Yi, hand over what you stole and I’ll let you go. Otherwise, you can just wait to become Elder Shen’s test subject.”

Qi Yi, wasn’t this the person they were waiting for? The young men shared glances.

“This sir, are you Qi Yi?” a handsome young man asked Ning Shu.

Ning Shu nodded. “Indeed, I am.”

“We are here by the order of the leader of the Zhao Clan Stronghold to meet Senior Brother. Senior Brother, you can rest assured now.”

The man stretched out his hand, bent his fingers, placed it in his mouth, and blew a sharp whistle.

In just a few moments, more people had arrived. The leader of the Sacred Demonic Cult pursuers saw that they were surrounded. He pointed at Ning Shu and threatened, “Just you wait. The sect leader will not let you off. Let’s withdraw!”

The people who chased Ning Shu and Mei Wu withdrew and scattered.

“These devils from the demonic sects have no sense of justice at all.”

“They bully the weak but are afraid of the strong.”

“The reputation of the martial arts world is tarnished by these rats.”

Ning Shu: …

If a person were outnumbered, weren’t they allowed to run? Don’t tell her that the person should let themself be martyred to be considered righteous in the martial arts world?

“Senior Brother Qi, don’t be afraid. Everyone from the Sacred Demonic Sect has left,” the man said to Ning Shu.

Ning Shu tightened her grip on the bundle and nodded.

“Senior Brother Qi, how come you are so short and your frame is so small?” asked another man, a little suspiciously.

Ning Shu waved her hand. She feigned reluctance to remember her past, but still said in a gloomy voice, “Those people of the Sacred Demonic Cult only know how to dig and live in holes. I can’t even get any sunlight most of the time. I went to the Sacred Demonic Cult shortly after I turned ten, and I basically haven’t grown any taller ever since.”

“Senior Brother Qi, we’ll take you to see the stronghold leader.”

Ning Shu was a little surprised. “Even the stronghold leader has come?”

“The stronghold leader came to personally pick you up.”

Ning Shu nodded. She followed the group of people into a large residence and into the main hall.

A middle-aged man was sitting at the seat of honor. When he saw Ning Shu come in, he stood up, embraced her with a hand, and laughed. “Qi Yi, you are finally back!”

He patted Ning Shu’s shoulder as he said, “What a frail body. Thank you for enduring such hardships.”

Ning Shu waved her hand. “Since it was for Uncle’s goals, and for the sake of the common people, I don’t consider it a hardship at all. It’s nothing.”

This imposing man was the current martial alliance leader, Qi Yi’s biological uncle, and the leader of the Zhao Clan Stronghold.

“You have suffered a lot over these years. Go and wash up, then we will leave,” Zhao Bo said.

Zhao Bo’s gaze then shifted and settled on Mei Wu. “This is?”

“This is a member of the Sacred Demonic Sect that Nephew incited to rebel. It’s just that he has a few loose screws in his brain.”

Mei Wu glanced at Ning Shu but said nothing.

Zhao Bo smiled heartily. “Abandoning the dark to turn to the light. This is good.”

Ning Shu said, “Let’s leave first. This town is very close to the Sacred Demonic Cult. They may come back to chase after us soon.”

Zhao Bo smiled faintly and said, “It’s fine. There is still time for you to wash up.”

“It seems that Uncle has already made a surefire plan. Then, I will take a short rest,” Ning Shu said wearily.

Zhao Bo probably wanted to see if the Sacred Demonic Sect would chase after her. If she really had stolen something valuable from them, the Sacred Demonic Sect would naturally not let her off.

“Go ahead.”

Ning Shu took a look around the room. She then washed up, though still cautious throughout it all. Afterward, she lay on the bed, holding her bundle, and went to sleep.
