Chapter 162: Desperate Situation
"The Wolf King demon core hidden in his body is clearly recently separated; the demon energy is thick," the voice of the Roaring Sky Dog continued to reach Qin Jun’s ears.
If Qin Jun still doesn’t understand by now, then he truly is dumber than Li Yuanba.
The meaning of the Roaring Sky Dog was clear: the Wolf King had just been killed. To possess a demon core, the Wolf King must have been at least tier three, equivalent to a cultivator of the Golden Elixir Realm. Such a demon beast was not something Ye Xuan, who was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment, could handle. And if a Golden Elixir Realm cultivator or even an Ascending Mortal Realm cultivator had killed it, it would have been difficult for Ye Xuan to snatch the demon core.
There were two possibilities: either Ye Xuan was hiding his true abilities or this guy was unbelievably lucky and had truly just stumbled upon it.
Qin Jun was more inclined to believe the former; in his view, everything had a cause and effect. Besides, considering the reactions of Zong Yan and Murong Xuan, it was obvious they hadn’t seen Ye Xuan pick up the Wolf King demon core. Prudent as he was, he had to consider the worst-case scenario.
Perhaps Ye Xuan was only hiding his power for a shocking debut, but now, given Zhu Yanqing’s recent actions, it was hard to guarantee that this guy wouldn’t stab him in the back.
"What about Senior Sister Yang?" Zhu Yanqing asked with a frown, addressing Zong Yan, as her gaze never fell on Ye Xuan—it was as if they were strangers to each other.
Ye Xuan too had resumed his normal demeanor, as if he hadn’t witnessed the previous scene.
What a deep schemer!
Qin Jun sighed inwardly as Zong Yan replied to Zhu Yanqing, "I haven’t seen her since we came in. After all, this isn’t her first time participating in the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition. Don’t worry, Sister Zhu. She knows how to take care of herself."
Zhu Yanqing nodded and then fell silent, rendering the atmosphere awkward once more.
