Chapter 260 - 259: Excalibur
If it were under normal circumstances, Jun Wuming would have disregarded this person completely and attacked without hesitation, no matter the consequences. But right now, his disciple was with him. If a fight broke out, Jun Xilei would certainly be affected, and at worst, she might even die.
Jun Xilei was the successor he had painstakingly searched for over countless years, and he didn't want to risk her life for nothing.
At the same time, he also grew wary of the young man's identity. To have a 9th level Divine Master protecting him from the shadows, what was this guy's identity?!
After hesitating for a short while, he finally withdrew his aura. Although it would make it seem like he was afraid of others, he was already close to the end of his life and no longer cared about fame or face. He also didn't want to establish an enmity with someone this powerful.
Once he was gone, his disciple might suffer the consequences of such a conflict.
"Let's go," Jun Wuming smiled gently at Yun Wuji and Qianye Ying'er, then spoke to Jun Xilei before turning around to leave.
Their original purpose in coming here had been for Jun Xilei to test her skills against others; true swordsmanship couldn't be developed through cultivation alone. Battle was needed to hone the edge of one's blade.
At the same time, he also wanted to let the world see his disciple.
"Master?!" Jun Xilei turned her head sharply toward Jun Wuming, eyes wide in disbelief. Ever since she became his disciple, she had never suffered a grievance without him standing up for her. Even the smallest slight, and he would step in to teach the other party a lesson.
But now? Jun Wuming actually wanted to leave just like nothing happened?
"...Do you want your master to bully a young man?" Jun Wuming said casually as he pulled his disciple along. He didn't know how to explain the situation to her just yet, so he planned to tell her everything after they left.
