Chapter 1717A – Wait A Little Longer

Qi Shan felt slightly dazed. The scenes of Elder Kong Weijin and the other disciples dying kept flashing in his mind.

Dead, they were all dead.

There were thirty of them from the Cliff Sword Sect, but now, only him and his disciple sister were left.

Sect Master Jiang Cunzhou was full of sorrow as he said, “People cannot come back from the dead. You both have to remember that Elder Kong sacrificed himself to save two of you.”

His eyes swept across the people from the Opening Heavens Sword Sect who were not too far away, before he said, “Let’s go!”

The Cliff Sword Sect was just an inconspicuous small sword sect in Swallow Mountain. The deaths of Kong Weijin and the other disciples had almost ruined whatever foundation the sect had. It was already very difficult for them to survive, and they did not have the energy or capability to deal with any other matters.

In the world of sword cultivators, there were things that were equally as important as revenge. Being able to lower one’s head and bear with difficulties was also an indispensable trait.

In a trance, Qi Shan followed his Sect Master and other disciples to leave, but suddenly, he staggered and fell heavily to the ground.

“Brother Qi!”

His junior sister, who had escaped from the Sword Prison together with him, went to catch him. However, she forgot that she too was also on the verge of collapsing, so she also fell to the ground with him.

Pu –

Qi Shan spat out fresh blood, dyeing his disciple sister’s chest red. She cried out loud, “Sect Master, quick, take a look at disciple brother Qi Shan! He is coughing blood!”

Jiang Cunzhou’s figure shifted and he grabbed onto Qi Shan’s shoulder, “Stop thinking unnecessary thoughts. Suppress them if you want to stabilize your body’s condition!”

Qi Shan nodded his head at his disciple sister and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, “Sect Master, I’m okay. After spitting out this blood, I finally feel alive now.”

He struggled to get up and he looked at his junior sister, seemingly to tell her to let go of her hand that was holding him. He knelt on the floor and said, “Sect Master, Elder Kong sacrificed himself to save me, however, I am going to let you and the Cliff Sword Sect down. From this moment, I will have nothing to do with this sword sect. Whatever I do will have nothing to do with the Cliff Sword Sect!”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Qi Shan kowtowed three times.

Jiang Cunzhou said in a strict tone, “Qi Shan, what’s wrong with you? Quickly take your words back, otherwise, I will not let this slide so easily!”

Qi Shan took a deep breath and his face looked unusually red when he rose from the ground. “Sect Master Jiang, when I’m done saying what I have to say, if you want to kill me or hurt me, Qi Shan will not resist.”

Turning around, he looked at the people from the Opening Heavens Sword Sect and walked towards them.

Seeming to have heard some movement from behind them and feeling hostility in Qi Shan’s eyes, the swordsmen in front of him retreated and made way for him.

Qi Shan was expressionless but his eyes were cold. “Today, I would like to ask everyone from the Opening Heavens Sword Sect why all of you are safe even though the Sword Prison was out of control and a catastrophe happened to everyone else.

“I’m asking you this question not just for myself, but also on behalf of all those swordsmen from different sects who died in the Sword Prison. Please give us an explanation!”

Hu Zhiming frowned but he remained calm. At this moment, no one saw that his fists had trembled a bit under his sleeves. However, at times like these, he definitely could not show any weakness. Otherwise, all these people would tear them to shreds.

When a crowd was angry, they would not care about what was right and wrong or what they would have to lose. They would only believe whatever they could see and what the hard facts were. The various sword sects in Swallow Mountain had suffered from heavy casualties; only the Opening Heavens Sword Sect was fine. This was not their fault…however, right now, this was their biggest mistake!

“This fellow cultivator, your words are quite strange. Will you only be satisfied if the Opening Heavens Sword Sect is wiped out completely?” Hu Zhiming did not give Qi Shan any opportunity to speak as he looked around him and continued, “Everyone! It seems like all of you are looking at us like we are Sword Demons that came from underground instead of looking at us like we are your fellow sword cultivators! Why? Are you feeling even more indignant because everyone from the Opening Heavens Sword Sect is alive? You want to kill us all so that you can bury us with them, is that right?”

With this current situation, he could not back up even one step. If he did, it would be equivalent to death.

Only by taking on a tough attitude and going on the offensive could they have a chance at survival…Sect Master, where on earth are you? Hurry up and come back, otherwise, we will really be finished!

……

The Sword Prison.

What does it feel like to be hugging a beauty who was drooling over you? Through personal experience, Qin Yu could honestly say that it felt torturous.

Especially when this lady keeps on giving you seductive looks and has a body as soft as water that rubs against you every now and then.

Hiss –

It was hard to resist!

Qin Yu did not know how he had managed to deal with it either. Suddenly, a cold humph rang out from beside his ears. As if she was in contact with a red-hot iron, Feifei suddenly jumped off from Qin Yu.

It was Rourou!

Seeing the other lady who was now standing a few meters away from him, Qin Yu wiped away the cold sweat that had formed on his forehead. A thought popped up in his mind: ‘What that lady said a minute ago was true. Rourou could not see what was going on just now. Otherwise, she would not have waited until this moment to make a sound.’

Why was he starting to have feelings of regret now? The kind that he could not suppress!

Feifei seemed to have felt something and she raised her head to look at Qin Yu with smiling and seductive eyes.

Qin Yu quickly lowered his head and utterly destroyed whatever feelings he was having in his heart.

Bear with it!

It is great to be alive, why am I seeking death?

Apart from Rourou, this lady who claimed to be ‘sworn sisters’ with Rourou could not be easily touched either.

Provoking her would be equivalent to death!

“Tsk, so that’s how much guts you have. I still praised you for being courageous just now, but I guess I was blind.” Feifei pouted and her face was full of disgust.

Coughing lightly, Qin Yu replied, “What Sister Feifei said was right, I’ve always been a coward.”

“It’s time to get some business done,” Rourou’s cold voice rang out in the air.

Feifei raised her head and looked up with a piercing gaze, “I got it. I can’t believe we used to be sworn sisters; all you do is rush me to do things.

“Here, I’ve returned your precious little one back safe and sound. Take care of him yourself; don’t blame me if something happens to him.”

After she finished speaking, she blinked at Qin Yu, then she turned around to leave.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Then, her figure disappeared.

Qin Yu touched his nose to ease his embarrassment, “Cough! Rourou, this Feifei…er, what are her origins like?”

Rourou did not answer the question but asked him instead, “Just now, you seemed a little bit regretful?”

Qin Yu tried to justify himself, “No, not at all! Don’t you know what kind of person I am? I don’t get tricked by sugar-coated bullets.”

Rourou laughed coldly, “That had better be the case. If you really did ‘that’ with her…believe me, no one would be able to save you.”

In an instant, cold sweat formed on Qin Yu’s forehead and he raised his hand to rub his face. “Now, can you tell me exactly what’s going on?”

“It’s a rather simple explanation that only requires a few sentences. However, you’d better hurry outside because people are about to die.”
