Chapter 1035: I Cannot Die

Proofreader

: Papatonks

Brother Wu, what do you think of my skill?

Chu Qingcheng sat in the gloomy jail, with Zhuo Fan standing behind her, softly running the comb through her long silky locks, full of care and gentleness.

It has only been one day since Qingcheng and I got married and I had been forced to go to Double Dragon Manor, never getting the chance to comb her hair. It might be silly, but it was a wish of mine. You two can tell me if Im doing it wrong.

Wu Qingqius face twitched, Zhuo Fan, youre way too casual. Frigid Rain Sword King listened to you and went to steal Heaven Sealing Sword. She might fail and be chased here, youd be involved in the central areas matters, from which you cant come out alive. And if she succeeds, the Sea Bright Sect would have no way of dealing with her and will take their hatred on you, leading to death once more. I just cant figure out how you can be so indifferent about it. Its like it isnt your problem.

Yeah, that Frigid Rain Sword King wanted to break you out of here. You couldve accepted and all would be over. Why would you stay here to die? Shangguan Qingyan grew downcast.

Zhuo Fan only had attention for combing his wifes hair, smiling, Its a bit messy. I know Im not used to this, I just need practice. Qingcheng, sorry

Hey, Zhuo Fan, did you hear any word I said?

All of it.

Zhuo Fan rolled his eyes, First off, I told you Im not with the central areas group, having my own interests.

But the Sea Bright Sect wont believe you

No matter.

Zhuo Fan smirked, Them believing or not is all the same to my life. I cannot die either way, ha-ha-ha

Wu Qingqiu was baffled, What do you mean its all the same? Theyre never going to allow a central area spy to live, on top of having killed so many experts of theirs. Those Genesis Stage experts outside werent killed by you, but since Bali Yuyu did it to save you, youll still be implicated. In their anger, theyll even take your life. It will only be harder on Qingcheng, after finally coming back. Now you

Zhuo Fan gave him a gesture to be quiet as he showed a vague smile, Brother Wu, youre a righteous cultivator to the core, even your thinking is upright. Be it killing or spying, none have anything to do with me. If killing meant death, then there would be no murders. Its nothing more than a scare tactic. The strong have always preyed on the weak. With enough strength, no one can take your life no matter who you kill.

Zhuo Fan paced around, tending to Chu Qingchengs fine locks, his gentle care in complete dissonance with his cruel tone.

Wu Qingqiu sighed, I know that, but youre now the weak one and about to be sacrificed. Arent you scared?

Why should I be?

Zhuo Fans eyes flashed, showing a devious smile, If they can strike me, you think I cant strike back? Unless theyre backward enough to think like a dumb teenager and die together, they would never touch me. You really think that I was so open about letting them seal my cultivation and put me behind bars without any precautions?

Wu Qingqius heart sank, being more confused than ever.

Zhuo Fans smirk turned serious when he looked at Chu Qingcheng, I couldnt die because I wanted to reunite with my wife one day. Now I cannot die even more, because she needs me. I am not about to let anyone take my life!

Then Ill take it, demon!

Bam!

While a boom, the jail door burst open and a girls voice echoed inside.

Murong Xue appeared with a furious scowl, stomping down the steps while staring at Zhuo Fan who didnt even pause from combing.

Shangguan Qingyan rushed to block her good sister, seeing her so furious, doing anything to soothe her, Sister Murong, whats wrong? Why are you so furious

You dare ask me that? Did you not see the many corpses of Sea Bright Sect elders outside? Glaring at her, for the first time, Murong Xue yelled at her sweet little sister, scaring her away.

Ignoring her infatuated sister with Zhuo Fan, Murong Xue glared, Gu Yifan, give me an answer. Did you kill those people?

Word caught my ear that southern lands Immortal Healer Murong Xue is smart and sharp, but why is it that today youre so slow? Tending to Chu Qingchengs temples, Zhuo Fan drawled, My Yuan Qi is sealed and am stuck in this barrier. You tell me how I am supposed to kill anyone. You stupid or what?

Murong Xue gasped in hatred, You might not have done it, but that woman around you did the killing, didnt she?

Yep! Zhuo Fan was blunt.

Murong Xue gnashed her teeth, Why has she been killing? Did you put her up to this?

She did it to break me out.

I asked you if you told her to kill so she could get you out!

Thats why Im saying youre dumb. If I told her that, what would I still be doing here? Id be miles away by now. Zhuo Fan c.o.c.ked an annoying eyebrow, mocking the irate girl further, Theres no point in having her save me, so I had her leave. So why are you here, a trip to the sect dungeon?

Shangguan Qingyan couldnt contain her giggle. Murong Xue glared at her and made her flinch in fright.

But then she cautiously held her sisters trembling hand from rage, pleading, Sister Xue, its true. The woman came to save him when we were here. But he didnt want to go, coming to terms with his crimes and turning a new leaf. Could you ask brother Murong Lie to speak for him with Sect Leader Ling and let him go

A new leaf? Humph, his character is unchanging.

Flinging her hand away, Murong Xue glared with hatred at Zhuo Fan, Let me ask you, did you put that woman to make those two explosions in the sect? Dont try to deny it, Ive seen the destruction and it couldnt be made by anyone other than a Sword King level expert. Except for the central area, only that woman around you has such power. Now that shes missing, its obviously

Theres three explosions.

Zhuo Fan cut her off with an evil smile, First was at a place far from Heaven Sealing Pavilion, the second at the Heaven Sealing Pavilion, as for the third

Zhuo Fans grin widened.

She gnashed her teeth in frustration and anger, The sect barrier. I knew it was you behind it all!

Yep, I had her do it, what about it?

Ill kill you!

Zhuo Fans callous admittance proved to have been the last push to Murong Xues fury. She raised her palm and struck for Zhuo Fans head. Even with his cultivation sealed, he still showed no fear before impending doom.

Bam!

Zhuo Fan just stood there with a smile, but Murong Xue had to withdraw two steps with a trembling hand. Her eyes were burning with even more rage.

Plop~

Zhuo Fan smirked as he knocked the air three times, Miss Murong, better not call yourself smart again. Youre more of a bonehead. Im a prisoner here missie, with a strong barrier left by Genesis Stage experts. While I cant get out, neither can you get in. Miss Murong youre better off asking Sect Leader Ling to open them if you still plan on killing me. Judging by that savage strike just now, your hand must be crushed, yet it still couldnt touch a hair on my head. Ha-ha-ha, Im sorry, really I am. Here I am, at my weakest, yet you cant even reach me.

Gu Yifan, youre one vile demon. Just you wait! Well just see how long your c.o.c.ky att.i.tude lasts!

Murong Xue glared at Zhuo Fans taunting gaze and scrunched her teeth harder. She then flicked her hand and left, Ill report everything to Sect Leader Ling, hell deal with you. First you slaughtered people in the Sea Bright Sect, then you broke their barrier!

Zhuo Fan didnt even flinch, looking at her in ridicule. Shangguan Qingyan started and begged, Sister Xue, dont! He really hasnt done anything in jail. Hes good!

Good my a.s.s! Even if he doesnt move a muscle, disaster will still befall everyone, just like it did central areas Serene Sh.o.r.es Trading. He is a devil, rotten to the core. His mere existence is vile.

Murong Xue clenched her fists and left in a huff, disregarding her sisters plea and even cursing, Yaner, have you got taken in by him? With everything thats happened here, with so many people dead, you still take his side? I will no longer help you hide it and report everything.

Ah! No, sister Xue

Shangguan Qingyan cried after her and Wu Qingqiu sighed, This is a huge mess, brother Zhuo. What are you going to do?

Nothing, just wait and see.

Arent you scared the Sea Bright Sect will execute you?

They wont even try, moreover

Zhuo Fan quirked a smile, This only cements my safety. For now I have two blades and soon the third, ha-ha-ha

Wu Qingqiu was baffled, feeling like Zhuo Fan had cast a net that spread over everyone, putting them on edge
