Chapter 81: Killing Intent

"Brother Bu, do you know this person?" Yan Junbi asked in confusion. This person was unknown among the inner disciples, so how could Bu Feiyue, with his status, know him?

Bu Feiyue nodded. He wasn't surprised that Yan Junbi didn't recognize Chu Jianqiu. If it weren't for Si Fengkai, he wouldn't have paid attention to a low-ranking disciple who was just a minor figure in the outer sect, nor would he have known Chu Jianqiu's identity.

"He is a direct disciple of the Fourth Peak and has a deep-seated grudge against Senior Brother Si Fengpo." Bu Feiyue said with a dark look. The enmity he had with Chu Jianqiu wouldn't be easily resolved. Now that Chu Jianqiu has entered this new secret realm, it gives him a great opportunity.

Yan Junbi was taken aback. Although he had already guessed Chu Jianqiu's identity, hearing it confirmed from Bu Feiyue still left him somewhat shocked.

A direct disciple, even for a strong inner disciple like him, who ranked thirty-seventh on the inner disciples' list, was still a figure to look up to.

Direct disciples in the Xuanjian Sect represented noble status, formidable strength, and exceptional talent. Just the title "direct disciple" was a source of awe for anyone in the Xuanjian Sect except the seven peak masters.

Zhao Gaochi, hearing their conversation, turned pale. He had actually provoked a direct disciple, and not just any direct disciple, but one from the Fourth Peak.

Thinking of the rumors about the madmen of the Fourth Peak, he couldn't help but feel a wave of fear, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.

Tan Youxin was also shocked. Chu Jianqiu was indeed a direct disciple of the Xuanjian Sect, and even more so, a direct disciple from the Fourth Peak.

Tan Youxin secretly decided that no matter what, she had to find a way to befriend Chu Jianqiu. For female inner disciples like her, becoming a direct disciple of the Fourth Peak or the Seventh Peak was always their dream.

From Bu Feiyue's words, it was clear that Chu Jianqiu had a significant grudge against them. In this perilous environment, they might not hesitate to harm Chu Jianqiu, which would be a great opportunity to befriend him.

As long as she helped Chu Jianqiu get through these crises, he would owe her a favor.

Although Bu Feiyue was a powerful opponent, ranking thirtieth on the inner disciples' list, their Bai Feng Society also had a powerful senior sister who had entered the secret realm and ranked twenty-eighth on the inner disciples' list. If they could contact that senior sister, they wouldn't necessarily fear him.

Although Si Fengpo had already broken through to the Sea Transformation Realm and entered the top ten inner disciples, their Bai Feng Society's leader was also a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse.

By forming an alliance with Chu Jianqiu, she would be doing a great service to the Bai Feng Society.

Hearing that Chu Jianqiu was a direct disciple of the Fourth Peak, Yan Junbi immediately felt a desire to back out and avoid getting involved in these conflicts.

Although in this secret realm, even if he killed Chu Jianqiu, no one would know, if he failed to kill Chu Jianqiu, once they left the secret realm, he would surely face unimaginable wrath from the Fourth Peak.

The Xuanjian Sect took the crime of plotting against a direct disciple very seriously. At that time, they would likely have no place to bury their bodies.

Seeing the hesitation in Yan Junbi's eyes, the killing intent in Bu Feiyue's eyes flashed. He had mentioned Si Fengpo to pull Yan Junbi into the conflict, but if Yan Junbi refused to join them, he couldn't let Yan Junbi live, to prevent him from revealing their secrets.

Although Yan Junbi's group had two or thirty people, their combat strength was far inferior to theirs. Yan Junbi's group only had two people at the Ninth True Qi Realm, Yan Junbi and Tan Youxin, while Bu Feiyue's group had five people at the Ninth True Qi Realm, and the rest were all Eighth True Qi Realm martial artists.

Once a battle broke out, Yan Junbi's group wouldn't stand a chance. He was confident that he could completely annihilate them.

Seeing the killing intent in Bu Feiyue's eyes, Yan Junbi felt a chill. Bu Feiyue actually planned to kill him too.

"Junior Brother Chu, the journey ahead might be more perilous. I have some spirit talismans here, which I will give to Junior Brother Chu to guard against any unforeseen circumstances."

At this moment, Tan Youxin suddenly took out two spirit talismans and handed them to Chu Jianqiu with a smile.

Chu Jianqiu looked at the two spirit talismans and couldn't help but feel a bit amused. These two spirit talismans were exactly the Flash Escape Talismans he had sold. He had sold no more than fifty to sixty Flash Escape Talismans in total, which was a drop in the bucket compared to the large number of inner disciples, and only a few could buy them.

Therefore, the Flash Escape Talismans were very rare among the inner disciples.

The woman was willing to give him two at once, which surprised Chu Jianqiu. Although he knew that Tan Youxin was being deliberately friendly after learning he was a direct disciple, it was still rare for her to go to such lengths.

After all, in the extremely dangerous environment of the new secret realm, a Flash Escape Talisman was equivalent to an extra life.

Chu Jianqiu took one of the Flash Escape Talismans and smiled. "Thank you, Senior Sister Tan, but one spirit talisman is enough."

Although Chu Jianqiu himself didn't lack Flash Escape Talismans, he didn't want to show it. By accepting the spirit talisman, he was accepting Tan Youxin's goodwill, which meant they had temporarily formed an alliance.

In such a severe environment, having one more ally was a good thing. Moreover, he already had some good feelings towards Tan Youxin, so forming an alliance with her was a good choice.

Seeing that Chu Jianqiu didn't refuse, Tan Youxin was overjoyed, and the two of them smiled at each other knowingly.

Yan Junbi, seeing their interaction, was immediately consumed by jealousy and immediately said to Bu Feiyue, "Senior Brother Si's matter is my matter, Brother Bu can rest assured." This was equivalent to agreeing to Bu Feiyue's invitation and joining the plot to harm Chu Jianqiu.

Yan Junbi had always harbored admiration for Tan Youxin, but she had always been cold towards him. He was already quite unhappy, but since Tan Youxin treated other men the same way, he didn't feel too much.

Now, seeing Tan Youxin being so proactive in befriending Chu Jianqiu, who she had just met, and seeing her flirt with Chu Jianqiu right in front of him, he couldn't bear it.

Seeing that Yan Junbi was sensible, Bu Feiyue nodded in satisfaction, but he was extremely angry about Tan Youxin's actions. He would make this woman who didn't know her place pay a heavy price sooner or later.

Bu Feiyue was not unfamiliar with the two spirit talismans that Tan Youxin had taken out. They were the Flash Escape Talismans that had recently gained a great reputation in the inner sect.

With these two Flash Escape Talismans, it would be difficult for him to completely kill Chu Jianqiu and Tan Youxin. After all, he had no way to deal with such elusive spirit talismans.

Such spirit talismans were a trump card for survival in his hands, but in the hands of his enemies, they were a great trouble.
