Chapter 665 Heavenly Fox Orb_1
As expected, Red Flame wouldn’t admit to his previous intention of killing them all to silence them. After all, Qin Siyuan was the Grand Airspace Officer of Jiangdong. Should he report the incident, it’d be a hassle if the Dragon Soul Department held the Demon Slayer Department accountable.
"If the Holy Envoy didn’t mean that, then I must have misunderstood," Su Chengyu didn’t break it down further and merely commented casually.
"The Demon King and the Demon Man in Mount Qianhe have been killed by me. I will report today’s incident to the Demon Slayer Department. The Dragon Soul Department does not need to keep a record of this."
After Red Flame finished speaking, he turned around and left, disappearing into the dense forest in a few leaps.
After seeing Red Flame leave, Qin Siyuan finally let out a sigh of relief, his back soaked in sweat.
"Let’s leave now. If Red Flame changes his mind, we’ll all die here." Qin Siyuan didn’t want to stay a moment longer; he had been scared out of his wits just now.
"Grand Airspace Officer, was Red Flame Holy Envoy really trying to kill us? Is that possible?" Vice Grand Airspace Officer Pan Zhengtian asked.
"Why wouldn’t it be possible? In his eyes, we are insignificant. If he truly killed us all, who would know he did it? The only reason he didn’t act was because he was severely injured and dreaded Mr. Su. Otherwise, we would have been as good as dead today!"
As the Grand Airspace Officer, Qin Siyuan was exceedingly clever. How would he not see through this standoff? Red Flame chose not to act, not because of a sudden conscience or compassion, but because he wasn’t completely confident that he could kill Su Chengyu as well. After all, Su Chengyu was a cultivator who could wield a sword to escape.
If he would kill, he had to do it thoroughly, leaving no survivors. Otherwise, if word of this got out, the Demon Slayer Department would not cover for him.
Lacking total confidence, Red Flame finally chose to stop.
