Chapter 2296 - Close at Hand and Over the Horizon
Lu Qingmei said icily, “I’m your senior apprentice sister, yet you’re colluding with outsiders against me. Aren’t you afraid that master will skin you and pluck your tendons when she finds out?”
Yu Xun couldn’t help but laugh. “Senior Apprentice Sister, Fellow Daoist Severed Heavens told me what happened. There’s more than sufficient proof of your lingering feelings for Yi Daoxuan. If I bring you to see Master, it’ll be an act of great merit!”
He paused, then continued, “You don’t need to explain yourself, and you don’t need to be afraid. You just have to make a choice. Are you going to come quietly? Or do we need to capture you first? Decide for yourself!”
Yu Xun then stood there, perfectly at ease. All the while, he continued to look Lu Qingmei up and down.
The Severed Heavens Demon Master and Li Shuiyun were watching Lu Qingmei intently.
“There’s no way that Master knows about this. If she did, there’s no way she’d let you do this,” Lu Qingmei said icily.
Yu Xun completely disregarded this. “You have ten snaps of the fingers to decide. If you haven’t made your choice by then, I’ll decide for you!”
The atmosphere was instantly stifled and oppressive.
“Just attack, then,” Lu Qingmei said calmly. “If this turns into a life-or-death struggle, I’ll be interested to see which of you I drag to the grave with me, and how many members of the Severed Heavens Demon Court die in the process!”
The Severed Heavens Demon Master’s expression instantly shifted.
“No need for concern, Daoist Brother. My senior apprentice sister excels at mental games. No need to take her paltry threats into account,” Yu Xun said leisurely. “Besides, I’m here, too.”
“The dead will be members of the Severed Heavens Demon Court. You naturally have no reason to care,” Lu Qingmei said flatly. “But Old Severed Heavens cannot disregard their deaths. If you don’t believe me, test him! See if he’s really willing to fight without reservation here.”
