“W- what are you trying to do? A- are you trying to kill someone from the Hawkwolf Guard?”
Wei Zhongyuan remembered how Qian Rongzhi possessed another identity. The West Gate Granny coughed gently. “Sect master, just leave the matter be. It’s not Rongzhi’s fault anyway. We better find little Jie quickly instead! I’ve watched that kid grow up, so I don’t wish for anything to happen to him either.”
Wei Zhongyang snorted coldly before tossing Qian Rongzhi aside resentfully. The Black Wolf guards were afraid to come help her up. Qian Rongzhi managed to get back onto her feet, and she knelt at the West Gate Granny in gratitude. “Thank you, granny!” Then she bowed her head towards Wei Zhongyuan. “Thank you, sect master!”
“If we can’t find Jie’er, just you wait!” Wei Zhongyuan turned around swiftly and made his way out. The four grannies followed closely behind, while the young men all walked past Qian Rongzhi in a chattery manner, looking at her dishevelled shape in disdain. They discussed loudly, “Look at her! She looks like a bitch!”
A young man beside the West Gate Granny said, “Right? She even wanted to suck up to granny. How shameless.”
Qian Rongzhi kept her head lowered, such that her messy hair hid her face, preventing anyone from seeing the light in her eyes.
Fortunately, she had thought of sending someone to seek reinforcements from the Hawkwolf Guard first, or she really might have been killed in this old bastard’s rage, which would have been a waste. If she used the Vitality Devouring technique on a tenth layer Qi Practitioner, would it be enough for her to break through to the sixth layer and condense a sea of qi?
The Black Wolf guards glanced at Qian Rongzhi. One of them said, “Now you know the consequences that come from trying to cling onto the stinky feet of the Sect of Clouds and Rain!”
“When the Parlour of Clouds and Rain opens again, we’ll take good care of the business considering the fact that we’re colleagues. Rongzhi, once you recover from your injuries, hopefully you’ll treat us well!”
A few people smiled nefariously as they fearlessly ogled Qian Rongzhi’s lovely stature.
They were Black Wolf guards who had originally been pushed to one side by Zhuo Zhibo. They were filled with envy and disdain towards Qian Rongzhi, who had managed to get on Zhuo Zhibo’s good side as soon as she had joined the Hawkwolf Guard. Now that Zhuo Zhibo was gone, they all felt like it was time for them to rise up. They felt extremely pleased with themselves, such that they became arrogant from their success.
Qian Rongzhi stood up. Under the soothing of true qi, her swollen face returned to normal, only leaving behind some dark, blue bruising. She wiped away the blood from the corner of her lips and smiled. “I just happen to be interested in carrying out a mission, but I probably won’t succeed if I go alone, so I’ll have to ask for your help. I’ll definitely pay back your kindness properly.”
The Black Wolf guards looked at one another. They were all tempted, but the disdain they showed deepened. Qian Rongzhi was just a whore who used her body to climb up. Now that the person she relied on, Zhuo Zhibo, had collapsed, she obviously needed someone new to depend on. Out of them, one was at the fourth layer and three were at the third layer. They were basically all of the core strength that remained in the Hawkwolf Guard of Jiaping city. They were very good targets to curry up to.
It was perfect for them to try this woman. It was not like they had to be afraid of any tricks she could use with their strength.
Right after Qian Rongzhi and the four Black Wolf guards received the mission in the falconry and were about to set off, they ran into Diao Fei.
Diao Fei glanced at Qian Rongzhi and immediately moved to one side. He asked politely, “You’re all…?”
The leading fourth layer Qi Practitioner said, “We’re going on a small mission. Some daemons have been acting up, so we want to take a look. Do you want to come along?”
“Hehe, big brother, it’s just a small mission. Won’t that be a little too many people?” A Black Wolf guard smiled nefariously, leading to a wave of laughter.
Come along!? Diao Fei did not even have enough time to avoid this woman, yet they somehow had the courage to go on a mission with her. Ever since the mission in Ancient Wing city, he became extremely cautious about Li Qingshan and Qian Rongzhi. He swore that he would never do anything with them again. He maintained a low profile and went about his matters alone, accumulating resources and avoiding disturbances. He was preparing for his breakthrough to the fourth layer.
When he heard that Zhuo Zhibo had led a group of Black Wolf guards to hunt down Li Qingshan, he was not like the other Black Wolf guards who firmly believed that Li Qingshan was done for. The end result from all of this was the disappearance of nine Hawkwolf Guards, with two commanders among them. He was not bold enough to say that Li Qingshan was behind all of it, but he definitely felt that Li Qingshan had something to do with it.
This consolidated his thoughts all the more. He could not afford to travel alongside a tiger! However, it was possible to guard against tiger attacks, but venomous snakes were impossible to defend against. His gaze towards these Black Wolf guards was rather strange. He basically said with some pity for them, “I still have things I need to do.” before leaving in a hurry.
“What a loner.”
“Forget it. Let's go.” The fourth layer Qi Practitioner placed his hand around Qian Rongzhi’s hips in a natural fashion and brought it downwards.
Qian Rongzhi smiled. While different types of true qi would cause a slight problem, how could she turn down prey that was basically delivered to her?
The next day, Qian Rongzhi returned to Jiaping quietly with four round sacks. She returned to the palace below the Parlour of Clouds and Rain.
Whether they were geniuses or ordinary, they all had to find a way to live, no matter what the method was. However, when the ordinary refused to remain in mediocrity and accept the arrangements of fate, desiring everything that geniuses possessed, they would have to rack their brains and pay a price. This price was not just hardships and hard work. It could even involve sacrificing their dignity, enduring abuse, abandoning their feelings, and throwing themselves into hellish misery.
Deep underground, in the Zombie Daoist’s dwelling, Li Qingshan underwent a great trial as well as sweat poured from his black iron-like body.
Chapter 188: The Strength of Two Oxen | Legend of the Great Sage
The effects from swallowing a thousand Qi Gathering pills at the same time was akin to swallowing a bomb. He felt like a fire raged in his belly, about to blow his stomach to shreds. It if were not for the fact that he had already daemonified, so his body was much tougher than regular people, this process would have been enough to claim his life.
Under the effects of the medicines, the daemon qi gradually became violent, losing control and rampaging about fearlessly as if it wanted to blow up Li Qingshan.
If it were not for the fact that the Ox Demon’s Fist of Great Strength and the Tiger Demon’s Fist of Bone Forging had made his body as tough as steel, even regular daemons would have exploded from that. If he had so many advantages, and he did not go a little tougher on himself, he would not be a man.
