Chapter 166 Steel and Iron Bones
"Don’t mention him."
Zhu Yanqing spoke softly. Her tone was always calm, but Qin Jun could detect a hint of anger in her words. After all, Ye Xuan’s thoughts about her were too lewd. Even if most men harbored such thoughts, having them voiced made it difficult for her to maintain any good feelings toward Ye Xuan, even though he was her senior fellow disciple.
Qin Jun smiled sympathetically. Although Ye Xuan had had no choice but to rely on the Demon within him to escape from a desperate situation, his future in the Wuqi Kingdom was likely doomed after his innermost thoughts were exposed by the Demon. He would probably wander the earth from then on.
Nonetheless, Qin Jun was very curious about how Ye Xuan had become possessed by the Demon.
The chance of a Demon, likely from the Immortal Realm, appearing in the kingdom was slim. Could it be that this fellow also possessed the fortune of a protagonist?
With that thought, Qin Jun quickened his pace. He wanted to get some information about demonic cultivators from Evening Star to avoid being ambushed by Ye Xuan.
The group hastened their steps through the streets toward the Roaming Dragon Inn.
This day was destined to bring joy to some, sorrow to others, and anger to yet others.
The Star Lodge and the Demonic Suppression Sect were shaken by significant events; Mo Yu and Zhang Lun, disciples of their respective sects, had not sent any messages back after the end of the city trial in Luoyan City, which almost certainly meant something had gone wrong. Their masters immediately sent inquiries to Xu Guiku of Luoyan City.
Xu Guiku was shocked upon receiving the news, as both the Star Lodge and the Demonic Suppression Sect were among the Seven Major Sects. Even with his strength ranked within the top twenty of the Imperial Dynasty, he could not afford to offend them lightly.
He quickly visited Fei Yushu to find out who had killed Mo Yu and Zhang Lun. Such was the influence of the superpower sects that they could ignore the rules and press the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition to reveal the two competitors.
