Chapter 253: Why Would We Do That?

“To think you’re so ruthless at your age, Ye Qing! You must die to secure peace for the wulin!”

A man appeared in front of Ye Qing like a ghost and unleashed a palm strike.

“Smite!”

The man’s palm turned as white as jade. It was translucent, warm, and perfectly flawless.

Boom!

But right before his hand would hit Ye Qing’s skull, a long saber descended toward the man’s head. He was forced to cancel his attack and block the sudden attack with his palm.

His palm should be made of flesh and blood, and yet there was a metallic clang when it clashed against the saber. There was a shockwave as the two men backed a step away from each other.

“Who are you? Why are you stopping me?” The man withdrew his palm and stared at Pang Kun with a deep frown.

Of course, no one recognized Pang Kun because he was wearing a mask right now.

“Ye Qing killed my nephew, so I must take his life with my own hands,” Pang Kun made up a random excuse. “I would advise you to stay out of this, Fang Baiyu.”

Pang Kun was accompanied by eighteen armored soldiers. As if on cue, they took a step forward and assumed what looked like a formation.

The eighteen soldiers were Black Feather Guard soldiers, of course. In fact, they were his personal guards. Although they were only Half-Step Astral Refiners, their formation was powerful enough to keep Fang Baiyu occupied. And if he were to join the battle, then he could even kill Fang Baiyu.

Of course, Pang Kun didn’t want to clash against Fang Baiyu unless he had no other choice. White Jade Hand Fang Baiyu was a Spirit Purifier just like him, but unlike him the warrior was famous throughout the jianghu. It would be folly to underestimate him.

“Kakaka! Your nephew, you say? What a joke! I can say that Ye Qing killed my son too in that case!”

Pang Kun had just finished speaking when a man wearing black robes stepped out into the open. He was surrounded by countless black crows that were cawing with inauspiciousness and death.

“Just say that you want his valuables. Lying about your intentions is only going to make you a hypocrite.”

“I completely agree, Crow Superior. There is nothing more I loathe than two-faced bastards.”

A woman wearing bright-colored clothes and gold and silver jewelry walked out as well. Her head was covered in flowers. You would think that someone like this would be incredibly beautiful, but in reality she was as fat as a pig and as ugly as a mud fence.

“Lady FLower?” Crow Superior exclaimed in surprise.

“Why are you here, Lady Flower?” Fang Baiyu frowned.

“The fuck do you mean by that? If you can target Ye Qing, then why not me?” Lady Flower retorted while side-eying Fang Baiyu.

Fang Baiyu kept silent. Lady Flower might be ugly and foul-mouthed, but she was very, very strong.

“Hmph! Coward!” Lady Flower spat on the ground before sneering at all three men standing in her way. “Now get the fuck out of my sight. The boy’s head and his items are mine.”

“You can stand to be a little less overbearing, Lady Flower!” Pang Kun said in an unfriendly tone.You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin

“Overbearing?” Lady Flower sneered before closing the distance between them faster than Pang Kun could blink. Then, she unleashed a palm strike.

Everyone blanched when they saw this.

Technically, a Half-Step Spirit Master was a late-stage Spirit Purifier who was very close to entering the Spirit Master Realm. In reality, all of them combined still might not be enough to defeat a Half-Step Spirit Master.

“Who are you?” Husband and Wife stopped flirting with each other and glared at the black-robed man.

“You don’t need to know who I am. You only need to know that I am taking Ye Qing with me!” The black-robed man said slowly.

“And why would we let you do that?” Lady Flower asked coldly.

She had thrown a similar line at Fang Baiyu, Crow Superior and Pang Kun earlier, and it had certainly felt very good. But it didn’t feel good at all to be on the receiving end.

The black-robed man answered, “Because I’m stronger than all of you combined.”

As soon as he said this, he abruptly appeared in front of Lady Flower like he had teleported. Shocked but not paralyzed, Lady Flower tried to defend herself only to sense an unimaginable power pressing down on her from above. At the same time, nine suns appeared inside her mental space.

The world inside Lady Flower’s head was torn asunder, and flames ravaged every corner of her mind. It wasn’t long before her spirit was depleted, and her mind was extinguished.

Thud!

The black-robed man casually dropped Lady Flower’s body on the ground and looked at the rest of them. “I don’t want to be enemies with you. I only want Ye Qing.”

“Now consider carefully if some riches you will never get are worth your life.”

Everyone: “...” He said he doesn’t want to be enemies with us after killing one of our strongest? Is he joking right now?

No one said a word for a time.

Then, a cheery voice shattered the gloomy atmosphere. “Hahaha, even a Half-Step Spirit Master wants me dead. I didn’t think I’m this valuable!”

They looked. Ye Qing was leaning against a tree and watching them with a face full of scorn. “Well, don’t mind me. Feel free to discuss among yourself until you’ve decided on the pecking order.”

“You’re going to die. Aren’t you afraid at all?” The black-robed man couldn’t help but voice his doubt when he saw Ye Qing’s fearless smile. He had killed many people in his life and seen just as many dying faces. Some people wept like no tomorrow, some people looked like they had lost their soul, and some wouldn’t stop wailing and begging for mercy. However, he had never seen someone who was so calm.

“Oh, I’m scared. I’m so scared I could die!” Ye Qing shrugged. “And it’s all thanks to you, Hill Lord Wang!”

“Hill Lord Wang?” “Wang Luori?”

His words stunned the others for a second. Then, they all looked at the black-robed man in realization.

“How did you find out?” The black-robed man a.k.a Wang Luori asked curiously. He did not deny the accusation.

“What? It’s obvious, isn’t it? You’re the only Half-Step Spirit Master who holds a grudge against me in Luo Shui. Who else could it be if not you?” Ye Qing smiled a smile that didn’t reach the eyes. “Only an idiot would fail to figure that out.”

Everyone: “...” Who are you calling an idiot?

Ye Qing then looked at Crow Superior, Fang Baiyu, Husband and Wife with a disdainful smile on his face. “Well, what are you waiting for? Do you think Hill Lord Wang would let you go now that you know his identity? I may have left Luo Shui, but I’m still a Patrolman of the Pacification Bureau, you know? Hehe...”

Everyone’s hearts sank because it was the truth. It was one thing if they didn’t know who Wang Luori was, but now that they did, the only way Wang Luori could stop them from telling everyone that he killed Ye Qing was to silence them.

After all, the only person who could be trusted to keep a secret in this world was a dead person, and Wang Luori most definitely possessed the strength to see it through.
