Chapter 685 - Can’t Let Her Live (8)

Chapter 685 “Can’t Let Her Live (8)”

Senior Mu’s mood had just lightened up after hearing this, but just when he’s about to give his thanks, Bai Yan had already flicked her finger to send the soul flying.

By the time he’s returned to his sense after being thrown away, the man’s soul had found himself trapped within his own body again.

“You… what have you done to me?” In his fit of rage, the old man wanted to question the woman to only discover he’s unable to speak.

Under normal circumstances, a person’s soul would automatically leave the body and head off to the afterlife for reincarnation. But now… he’s found his soul unable to escape and stuck within his own body!

“I only promised not to destroy your soul, I never mentioned anything about letting you go. You’ve done so many bad things in this life and you still want to reincarnate?” Snarling, Bai Yan sarcastically ridicules the old fool who still thinks he deserves another life.

She couldn’t deny the original intent of getting close to the two brothers didn’t have the best interest in mind, mainly to locate Dragony and the Blood Vines. However, she’s not made of stone inside either, Bai Yan has emotions too. When one truly cares for her, she too would return the kindness. So, whether it be the group who harmed the two elders back then or those who does it now, the only outcome would be death!

“Hmm?”

Sensing the approaching presence from afar, Bai Yan knew her time was up and moved quickly to lie down in order to pretend she fainted.

Not long after, two familiar figures had come into sight.

Zhongnan (older) could care less who the extra corpse belonged to right now, he only had his precious disciple in mind. Therefore, when he noticed the unconscious girl lying on the floor, he exclaimed and ran over in haste: “My student!”

Zhongbei (younger) reacted similarly, but instead of exclaiming, his first reaction was to scan the area with the most intense killing intent he could muster.

How dare an intruder come into our home and hurt my student!

“Ughhh…” Seeing it’s about right, Bai Yan slowly rolled around and pretends to have just regained her consciousness. “Shifu, what’s going on?”

“Oh it’s wonderful that you are alright my student. Me and your second shifu was worried sick after sensing you were unprotected. We thought you might be in danger so we hurried over to check. Tell me, what happened before you passed out?” Zhongnan asks with a relieved expression.

“I don’t know either Shifu. I was just training when this person suddenly attacked me from out of the blue. Next thing I knew was being knocked out and losing consciousness.” Drooping her eyes to avoid contact, she felt very guilty about lying so she could only apologies inwardly.

It’s not like Bai Yan wanted to deceive her two new shifus, but it’s just not the right timing yet. When things are ripe then she swears, she would definitely explain everything.

After hearing the brief explanation, the older brother’s attention immediately switched to the corpse nearby. Making the coldest eye ever: “Senior Mu! Damn this bastard, I recognize this dog anywhere!”

It was precisely this bunch of thugs who murdered my disciple!

While Muzhen and her goons assumed the two brothers were naïve and incapable of perceiving internal politics, it’s not entirely true. They’re just not the type to stoop to using dirty means and wanted to openly bring the criminals to justice. Issue was, they never managed to figure out how or find a clue, hence their disheartened state.

“I can feel the lingering energy of a Monarch Rank cultivator around here. I suspect a powerful master must have been passing by and managed to save our Yan’er.” The younger brother Zhongbei deduces after collecting the clues around the scene.

The news didn’t fare well with the older Zhongnan at all though. Tensing up in the heart, his hands had formed a crunching ball. If we weren’t so lucky then wouldn’t my disciple be…..

“Big brother,” Zhongbei turns to his older brother with a confronting air, “we can’t let this go on any longer! Regardless of us having proof or not, its clear that old witch is going to continue to attack us regardless of the rules. The time for waiting and enduring is over!”
