The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 910: Jialan’s Disciples Without Any Hesitation
Chapter 910: Jialan’s Disciples Without Any Hesitation
When they were fighting against the Great Protector, they had already been injured. Just now, when they faced Huang Kai, they merely used their remaining spiritual power to barely hold on. Although they had exerted themselves, they were fortunate enough to scare Huang Kai and his group away.
It was at this moment that Qiao Nanyi returned. Everyone was surprised. In reality, there weren’t many people left. Those who insisted on staying were all those who had joined Jialan Celestial Mountain a thousand years ago; they were already old and frail.
Qiao Nanyi glanced over them and understood immediately, "The number of people is about what I expected." Everyone was puzzled, "Elder Qiao, this is..." "Disciples of Jialan who do not harbor any second thoughts," Qiao Nanyi handed them a bottle of medicine containing pills, "First, take good care of your injuries."
Everyone was still confused. However, Qiao Nanyi had only come back to deliver the medicine and then left Jialan again. On the way, he asked Qing Feng when he would arrive. Qing Feng, holding a grudge, said, "There’s no way it could be that fast. I’m still injured!" "Alright then, I’ll go and kill the traitors by myself," Qiao Nanyi replied.
"What?! How could I miss out on such a good opportunity? Immediately send me the location!" Qing Feng shouted immediately. Qiao Nanyi curled the corner of his mouth and reported the location. His injuries were not fully healed yet, and he indeed needed help. After all, it wouldn’t be good to let His Majesty deal with such a trivial matter personally.
He followed Huang Kai and the others at a moderate distance. Fortunately, there were quite a few people at the Qi Refining stage in the group, who needed someone to lead them, so the speed of flying by sword couldn’t be too fast.
Who knew that Qing Feng would rush over without contacting him and directly intercept them. "Huang Kai, do you dare to betray His Majesty and think that my reputation is undeserved?!" Qing Feng shouted loudly. Under the moonlight, his robe fluttered with the autumn wind, covered in a layer of silver light. This way of making an appearance was indeed quite impressive.
Huang Kai had been afraid that Qiao Nanyi would catch up. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was just the young Qing Feng, and he immediately sneered contemptuously, "Elder Qing Feng, you are a Nascent Soul and injured, yet you still dare to block my way?"
"You insolent brat, how dare you underestimate me?!" As Qing Feng spoke, his sword was already unsheathed. Since he had returned to his physical body, he hadn’t had the chance to have a good fight. Of course, in his view, fighting someone with such a huge disparity in strength, like the Great Protector, didn’t even count as a real fight.
Huang Kai was not intimidated and immediately called out to his disciples to join him in the attack: "Kill him, and then cut off his head to claim the reward from Venerable Master Qingwu!" The disciples followed orders without a word and surrounded Qing Feng.
Huang Kai had managed to climb to the position of elder, which meant he had some real strength. While the disciples held Qing Feng at bay, he moved in swiftly. His sword techniques were fierce, and his posture clearly indicated that he intended to kill Qing Feng.
Qing Feng was not afraid at all. Although the two were at the same cultivation level, he had cultivated diligently without taking any shortcuts and had even been personally taught by Siheng. How could he be compared to Huang Kai? With just one sword strike, he split apart the Base Building and Golden Core disciples. He then engaged Huang Kai in a fierce exchange of blows. Their swords clashed, sparking fire. In just three moves, Qing Feng gained the upper hand, thrusting his sword through Huang Kai’s shoulder and kicking him to the ground.
The traitorous disciples were panicked and no longer dared to fight alongside Huang Kai, only thinking of their own escape. Huang Kai was severely injured, bleeding profusely, and found it difficult to execute any more sword techniques. Seeing his disciples abandon him and flee in all directions, his heart turned cold. He got up and saw that Qing Feng had also landed on the ground. He quickly knelt down and cried out, "Elder Qing Feng, I am blind and don’t recognize the mountain! I know my cultivation is not as high as yours, yet I still dared to challenge you!"
Qing Feng was flattered by this and laughed heartily, "It’s good that you know!" Seeing his complacency, Huang Kai suddenly shot out a poisonous needle. It was a dark and windy night. It wasn’t until the poisonous needle was right in front of him that Qing Feng realized it. He cursed inwardly, but with the needle so close, he didn’t have time to dodge.
Fortunately, someone appeared abruptly on the side, flicked his sleeve to split the poisonous needle, and then swung his sword, directly cutting off Huang Kai’s head. Qing Feng was stunned for a moment before he realized what had happened. He said, "Qiao Nanyi, you’re stealing my credit!" Qiao Nanyi glanced at him irritably and said, "What do you mean by stealing? I clearly did it by strength. Who told you to be so complacent and not kill the person before showing off? Besides, if I hadn’t shown up in time, you would have perished here. You don’t have to thank me, but you’re still complaining."
Qing Feng curled his lips and said, "I didn’t expect him to be so despicable." "He has submitted to Qingwu; how could his intentions be pure?" Qiao Nanyi replied. "I don’t care. He’s still considered killed by me," Qing Feng insisted. "Fine, I’ll report this to His Majesty as well," Qiao Nanyi said with a sidelong glance. Qing Feng immediately deflated, hanging his head dejectedly, "Alright, alright! It’s your kill!" He had worked for nothing.
However, Qiao Nanyi only took Huang Kai’s Qiankun Bag. As for the other disciples, Qing Feng asked whether they should pursue them. Qiao Nanyi, with an expressionless face, said, "I’ve already dealt with everyone just now." Qing Feng didn’t expect him to be so ruthless and said, "Actually, Qingwu is already dead. Most of them are young and have a chance to reform. Couldn’t you just destroy their Dantian instead of killing them all?"
There was no need to kill everyone. Qiao Nanyi replied, "They already had evil intentions and committed many heinous acts for Qingwu. They deserved to die. Simply destroying their Dantian wouldn’t ensure that they wouldn’t use their sword techniques to bully the common people in the future. It’s better to kill them all to prevent future troubles."
Qing Feng stuck out his tongue and said, "We took a trip to the Mortal World; how did you pick up the ways of the Supervisory Office?" "Naturally, the situation is different now. We are His Majesty’s right-hand men, and we must be cautious and thorough. Anything that threatens His Majesty must be eliminated," Qiao Nanyi explained.
They had trusted Qingwu too much in the past, which led to the subsequent problems. His Majesty had been close to the threshold of becoming a deity but had his cultivation reduced because of this. Now that the Demon Clan Asura had reappeared, he had to be extremely vigilant.
Qing Feng grabbed his hand, his eyes filled with concern, "Qiao Nanyi! We need to be careful everywhere, but you can’t be so ruthless. Killing too many innocent people will bring down heavenly retribution and thunderbolts on you!" "So what?" Qiao Nanyi’s face was expressionless, "As long as I can help His Majesty, I am willing to pay any price."
"You..." Qing Feng frowned deeply, "You know that His Majesty doesn’t want us to act this way." Qiao Nanyi’s face also became a bit strange. He looked down at his hand holding the sword and murmured, "This is all I can do."
"Qiao Nanyi, something is off with you. What happened to you on Penglai Island?" Qing Feng suddenly thought of this. "Hehe, could it be that you, like me, failed to protect the Glassy Bottle?" Qiao Nanyi didn’t speak. Qing Feng immediately knew he had guessed correctly.
