Chapter 817, Boy, You’re Really Quite Pitiful
“You said Xuan’er… she…” Yun Cheng heard these words and frowned pensively, “Had a special relationship with him?”
Ji Yan laughed somewhat dryly and replied, “En, according to my observation at the time anyways, but because we all thought that he was dead I did not report this matter to Union Master. I ask Union Master to punish me appropriately.”
Yun Cheng slowly shook his head, “No matter, Xuan’er is also a young woman, and naturally she will have someone she likes… No wonder when she returned to Bold Independent City she was depressed for a while, I thought she hadn’t completely put down the previous matter about her brother and thus was trying to avoid me still, but it appears that wasn’t the case. According to your observation, what was this youth’s attitude towards Xuan’er?”
Ji Yan respectfully replied, “He didn’t reveal too much concern for her, but young people… heh.”
“Oh?” Yun Cheng smiled, “If that’s the case, if Nine Heavens Holy Land doesn’t fall this time, it seems my Bold Independent Union might have a good opportunity!”
“What does Union Master mean?” Ji Yan heard this and immediately knew what to say, having some idea about what Yun Cheng was thinking.
“Let’s just observe for now, perhaps they won’t be able to withstand this calamity, but if they can…. En, we must act careful this time, make a show of things but don’t get caught up in the storm.”
“Union Master is wise!”
Elsewhere, another person was also staring towards Yang Kai with great interest, and when he determined that Yang Kai was indeed the young man taken by the Coffin Carrying Man back in Raging Flame City, he couldn’t help smiling fiercely and quickly flying forward.
A short time later, this man came up to War Spirit Temple’s Cao Guan.
“Temple Lord, subordinate has something to report!”
Cao Guan, who was staring at Yang Kai with a gloomy expression, impatiently replied, “Tell me later.”
“Temple Lord, this matter is related to that new Holy Master!”
Cao Guan turned his head and looked at him before nodding lightly, “Yao Di… what do you want to say?”
The man named Yao Di quickly rushed over and whispered something into Cao Guan’s ear.
If Yang Kai saw this man, he would likely remember his appearance.
When Yang Kai had encountered the Coffin Carrying Man in Raging Flame City, this person was also present.
At the time, Yao Di had appeared together with Xu Qi of Bright Thunder Spirit Religion and Zuo Xing of Profound Heaven Alliance. These three had specifically pointed out to him by Yun Xuan as characters to beware of.
Back then, these three masters had been following the Coffin Carrying Man and had eventually arrived at Raging Flame City.
Later, Yang Kai was taken away by the Coffin Carrying Man and sent into the Mysterious Small World where the Ancient Demon Clan lived. When he came out, he went to Grand Boulder City and then to Bright Thunder Spirit Religion under the recommendation of Grand Boulder City Alchemist Guild Branch Manager Du Wan. Xu Qi lost his life as a result of this series of events.
Listening to Yao Di’s story, Cao Guan’s eyes grew brighter and brighter, eventually asking in a shocked voice, “Is that true?”
Yao Di quickly nodded, “Subordinate clearly remembers his appearance!”
“This has become really interesting,” Cao Guan snickered, “It seems that this time we can reap twice the harvest we expected. After grabbing him, not only will be able to obtain the inheritance of Nine Heavens Holy Land, but also solve the mystery of the Coffin Carrying Man… “
His spirits roused, Cao Guan whispered quietly, “Who else besides you knows about this?”
Yao Di frowned and pondered for a moment before replying, “That Ji Yan of Bold Independent Union should also recognize him; after all, he was there when the incident happened!”
“Bold Independent Union… hmph, nothing to fear, keep an eye on them, if they dare leak this news, I’ll tidy them up personally,” Cao Guan spat disdainfully.
Yao Di nodded quickly before casting a glance over towards the delegation from Bold Independent Union.
The most powerful master in Bold Independent Union was Yun Cheng, a Third Order Transcendent, there wasn’t a single Saint Realm master in their force. Such a force was naturally despised by Cao Guan.
In Tong Xuan Realm, only the forces that had Saint Realm masters could be considered powerful.
Inside the Nine Peaks Barrier, Xu Hui spoke sincerely, “I believe everyone is now clear about Saintess Nan’s current condition. Her actions were not the will of my Holy Land, if all of you can draw back and not embarrass my Holy Land further, my Holy Land will surely compensate you for the losses you suffered. If you insist on being enemies with my Holy Land, then I’m afraid we can only settle this with force.”
“Compensation? You think human lives can simply be compensated for?” Zhang Ao saw many people showing signs of hesitation because of the emergence of this new Holy Master and immediately roared, “Xu Hui, are you seriously going senile? Who doesn’t know that since ancient times, paying for murder with one’s life is the only true compensation?”
“Zhang Ao, don’t go too far!” Xu Hui shot
