Chapter 1158: An Even More Important Treasure
The rest of the party couldn’t help covering their mouths and holding back their laughter when they saw how aggrieved Lan Xinyu looked. In the end, the atmosphere also relaxed a little more.
Every time they saw Lan Xinyu suffer because of Ling Chuxi, everyone felt exceptionally warm.
In fact, Lan Xinyu wasn’t stupid. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have the strength she had today. She had just been spoiled and pampered since she was young, so she didn’t have enough life experience.
“Chuxi, I didn’t expect this person to be so strong. You have to be more careful in the future,” said Su Yizhi worriedly to Ling Chuxi laughing briefly.
Although Ling Chuxi wasn’t weak and was an absolute powerhouse like Huangfu Qingjue, the enemy was in the dar, hidden from the light. Moreover, the other party was also so strong, so how could he not be worried?
“Yes, I will be careful.” Ling Chuxi nodded cautiously.
“Let’s go. There’s no need to overthink this situation. He won’t attack again,” said Huangfu Qingjue after remaining silent all this time.
The others looked at Huangfu Qingjue in surprise, but they didn’t dare to ask. They had inexplicable respect for Huangfu Qingjue.
“Yes, it’s getting late. Let’s find a place to stay.” Ling Chuxi knew that Huangfu Qingjue must have noticed something when he said what he said.
“My Lady, aren’t we going to Broken Moon Gang next?” asked Zhou Kaitai.
“Not anymore. I think Broken Moon Gang has ended up in the same fate as Thousand Kills Gang,” said Ling Chuxi. Since the other party could easily eliminate Thousand Kills Gang, why would they easily leave Broken Moon Gang be? Even if they rushed to the Broken Moon Gang now, they would only see cold corpses.
The group left Thousand Kills Gang’s hideout and returned to the city.
“That person used a technique from the nether race,” said Huangfu Qingjue calmly to Ling Chuxi once they were in the carriage.
“The nether race? And Poison King Fu and Qiu Yisha came just for the nirvana flower?” Ling Chuxi had also suspected that the duo was ordered by the nether race to retrieve the nirvana flower. After all, the nirvana flower would mean a lot to such people. They wouldn’t give it up so easily. She daren’t be so sure before. But now that she had heard Huangfu Qingjue’s words, she had no more doubts.
“That’s probably right.” Huangfu Qingjue nodded before continuing. “I didn’t expect the nether race to have cultivated so many forces in Qianzhong Ridge. If the one who attacked the men earlier just now used the nether race’s technique, he must be his subordinate. Ding Wenqing’s analysis makes sense. That person must be quite famous in the Qianzhong Ridge. He might be from one of the top four forces, and thus worry that his identity would be exposed.”
“But there’s one thing I don’t understand. If it’s one of the top four forces, why didn’t they act directly?” asked Ling Chuxi, puzzled. She knew where she stood in terms of strength. With the current strength of Sword Heart Gang, it was no problem for them to bully those in Huifeng Ridge. And without Huangfu Qingjue’s powers, they would only be on par with forces like Thousand Kills Gang. This meant that there would still be a big gap between them and the four top forces. Logically speaking, there was no need to make things so troublesome.
“Or, is it because he is afraid of your existence and is unwilling to be your enemy?” asked Ling Chuxi. “But if that’s so, why would he allow Poison King Fu and Qiu Yisha to die just like that?”
“Maybe he just wants to test us. In the past tens of thousands of years, the divine clan’s royalty and nether clan’s royalty rarely interacted. We don’t know each other’s strength well enough, so it would make sense for him to ask someone to help gauge our strength first,” said Huangfu Qingjue with a smile.
“Also, I think there is also another reason for his actions,” said Huangfu Qingjue.
“Oh, what reason?” asked Ling Chuxi curiously.
“Have you forgotten about the ancient ruins?” asked Huangfu Qingjue.
“You mean to say that in order to snatch the real rare treasure in the ancient ruins, the nether race expert was even willing to temporarily put the matter of the nirvana flower aside. In other words, that rare treasure is even more important than the nirvana flower?” Ling Chuxi’s eyes lit up as she speculated.
What kind of treasure could that be?
