Chapter 143 - Former Young Master

The Crimson Metal Sword Faction and the White Jade Sword Sect were all essentially divisions of the Bixue Sword Alliance.

There were several hundred trial participants from those three factions, and all of them received news that Qi Ying had to be killed in the mystic realm. Furthermore, the one who killed him would receive a lavish reward from the Chu family.

He was just an Energy Martial Stage warrior, so everyone was clambering for the chance to hunt him down!

Of course, they didn’t disclose the information regarding Qi Ying’s reverse assassination of Huo Da and the others, and nor did they tell everyone the true reason behind Chu Bixue’s insistence on killing Qi Ying.

Thus, all of them thought that Qi Ying had brought it upon himself by insulting Chu Bixue on that day.

As such, finding Qi Ying was the equivalent to finding treasures in everyone’s eyes! In fact, the reward for killing Qi Ying was more alluring than some of the treasures that they could encounter in the mystic realm.

“Kill him!”

The tall and thin disciple wore a cold expression as he waved an arm. All three warriors immediately drew their weapons, and Spiritual Light shimmered on their swords as they closed in on Qi Ying and Li Lin.

“F*ck!”

Li Lin couldn’t help but swear out loud.

He was hoping that Qi Ying was going to carry him, but he was only being dragged down by him! As a witness to their assassination of Qi Ying, there was no way that he could be allowed to live, so even begging for his life wouldn’t work.

Two beams of purple light erupted from Qi Ying’s eyes, puncturing that disciple’s head, and finally landing the killing blow upon him.

Li Lin rushed over and his face was deathly pale as he looked up at the fireworks in the sky. “Why did you kill him?! You’ve done it now! All of the nearby Crimson Metal Sword Faction disciples are going to hunt us down!”

Qi Ying threw away the sword he was grasping in his left hand, and took the spatial rings from the three Crimson Class disciples as he said in a nonchalant voice, “Heh, so you’re telling me that if we don’t kill them, then they won’t set off their flares? Is there any place to hide here? Take me there right now!”

…

The two of them arrived back in the cave where Li Lin had first discovered the corpse of the Black Class disciple.

He was currently staring at the young man beside him with shock and fear in his eyes. His cultivation base was only at the Eighth Energy Martial Stage, but he had just insta-killed two Second Spirit Martial Stage warriors!

Furthermore, he was only at the Sixth Energy Martial Stage when they had last met a month ago. Progressing two ranks in a month? Even if those were Energy Martial Stage ranks, it was still a very drastic increase.

Qi Ying didn’t really take notice of Li Lin’s expression. He scanned his eyes around the cave they were in, before tossing out three spatial rings. “I’m not a heartless person, but you already gave that ring to me, so I won’t return it to you. I’ll give you everything those three guys had, aside from their pills as compensation.”

“Alright.”

Li Lin immediately nodded.

He didn’t dare to offer any objections.

He was still injured, and who knew if Young Master Qi was going to kill him with a fire snake as well?

Qi Ying strode over to the corpse and he seemed to be inspecting it.

“Er…”

A peculiar expression appeared on Li Lin’s face. What was there to look at on a decomposing corpse?

However, Qi Ying rummaged around for a little bit before pulling out a black jade pendant from the body, upon which his expression changed slightly. “Black Class, Chu Tian? Was he a former young master of the Chu family?”
