Chapter 1207 - 339: The Cloud Descending Sect Incident (Part 2)
If the Cloud Descending Sect could talk right now, then the Cloud Descending Sect would definitely be trying to reach a ceasefire agreement with Yuchi.
But they just happened to have two thick-headed people in the sect, dead set on not backing down.
There was literally nothing to be done about that.
Yuchi was speechless: "You’re asking me to get the employer to cancel the kill order, yet you won’t tell me who issued it. So what, you’re just looking to go all-out with me?"
The man saw the obvious displeasure on Yuchi’s face, but still said calmly, "Yes. Miss that ’passing the buck’ feeling? If you do, good. Our Cloud Descending Sect won’t change our strategy over your little problem. Once a kill order is issued, it’s basically impossible to revoke!"
After hearing that, the darkness was already creeping onto Yuchi’s face, but he still kept a very bright smile, like a blooming flower. Then, when the woman clearly felt something was off, Yuchi remained very calm: "Maybe my kindness made you misunderstand something?"
"Then let me say this one last time. I came here to discuss countermeasures with you, not for you to just kick me away. So right now it’s not about what choice I need to make; it’s about what choice you need to make. And as things stand, you’ve only got two options."
As the man narrowed his eyes and the woman started to worry.
Yuchi walked right up to the two of them, and slowly, with a bright smile, said to them, "Option one, you tell me who issued the current kill order, I go find that person to revoke it, and then we and your Cloud Descending Sect can mind our own business. Option two, you insist on killing my people right now, in which case I’ll be out of options—I can only wipe you out and then pay your sect a little visit while I’m at it."
Yuchi felt he was already being a very kind person.
Honestly, they came here to kill Yuan’Er, but he’s still able to stay calm. In some power-fantasy novels this would already be a huge turn-off, but he didn’t care. He was just having an honest talk with the Cloud Descending Sect to see if there was any way to solve this.
After all, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. He believed the Cloud Descending Sect would be able to appreciate his good intentions.
Meanwhile, beads of sweat were starting to appear on the man’s and woman’s foreheads.
Their eyes flickered as they looked at Yuchi. This guy looked very friendly, and they could clearly feel that this man genuinely hoped things would turn out well.
To the point where the woman glanced at the man, completely at a loss for words now.
The man narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and finally said sternly, "I’ve already said it. Either you go find our employer, or you become an enemy of our Cloud Descending Sect. Don’t talk about giving us choices. The Cloud Descending Sect has never needed so-called ’choices’!"
Cloud Descending Sect: No no no, that’s what this guy said, nothing to do with us...
At that, Yuchi pouted. He really had no other way. After saying so much, the other side was still like this. He sighed, nodded, and asked, "Alright, then one last question—can you take me to your sect?"
The woman: "..."
She stared in shock at the young man in front of her. What on earth did this guy mean? Why did everything he said feel completely beyond anything she’d anticipated?
The man, on the other hand, immediately shot back coldly, "Yuchi, what are you going to our sect for? Do you really think you alone can wipe out our entire sect?!"
Yuchi just shrugged, neither confirming nor denying it: "Can I or not?"
More cold sweat broke out across the man’s forehead.
He finally understood today. He slowly took out his own magic artifact, and when the woman saw his little movement, she steeled herself and took out her own artifact as well. The next instant, the two of them immediately pulled some distance away from Yuchi, clearly about to launch an attack on him.
"Hahahaha!"
"Yuchi!"
"I’ve already given you enough face, and you still refuse to give our Cloud Descending Sect any face. Don’t blame us for what happens next!"
"I know your cultivation is very strong right now. After you ambushed the two of us we didn’t even have the slightest power to resist!"
"But don’t you dare look down on us!"
"We’re assassins of the Cloud Descending Sect—are we supposed to be afraid of just you alone?"
"You!"
"Just!"
"Dieeeeee!"
Cursing and yelling, the man and woman launched their attack at the same time at Yuchi, who was still picking his nose in front of them!
A ball of flame appeared in the man’s hand.
The flame condensed into a dazzling red fireball. After circling once in front of him, it instantly transformed into a Fire Python. The Fire Python shot forward at incredible speed like a streak of blazing light, viciously striking toward Yuchi. The surrounding air seemed to be burning, and the snow on the ground in this desolate wilderness melted rapidly. A brilliant Fire Python crackled loudly, its power immense.
The woman, meanwhile, pulled out a bow, drew it, and nocked an arrow. The tail of the arrow emitted a cold cyan glow; clearly, this arrow was laced with poison and had a natural barrier-piercing effect against Spiritual Qi. Once Yuchi’s Spiritual Energy Barrier was broken by her, the man’s flame python would completely burn Yuchi into a charred corpse!
