Chapter 1022 - Bone-Chilling Water
Back when Liu Wuxie fought Yin Xue, many disciples from the First Sword Manor had mocked him. There was one disciple who jeered the loudest, so Liu Wuxie quietly cast the Conversion Art and turned him into a devotee.
He didn't expect that one impulsive act would uncover such critical intel. The First Sword Manor had already launched their counterattack, leaving the Renowned Sword Manor at a clear disadvantage.
Most of the Renowned Sword Manor's disciples busied themselves with refining weapons, and Miao Jianying had dispatched a portion of their elite disciples to assist Liu Wuxie in his search.
As for Miao Feichen, he left Northern City with a group, heading for the Central Plains.
That decision left the Renowned Sword Manor vulnerable, and that was exactly why Liu Wuxie urged Ji Qiu and Miao Jianying to return at once.
When Ji Qiu and Miao Jianying learned the Renowned Sword Manor was in danger, the two men exchanged grave looks.
"Set out at dawn tomorrow," Liu Wuxie ordered with a heavy tone. He patted their shoulders and left Ji Qiu and Miao Jianying behind.
With Liu Wuxie gone, Ji Qiu pondered briefly about what they should do. "Ying'er, you stay behind. I'll head back first."
"No! I'll go back! Uncle, you stay behind," Miao Jianying said insistently.
Now, both of them fought to be the one to leave the extreme north. They knew well that returning to Northern City could mean putting their lives in danger. By contrast, whoever stayed in the extreme north would stay relatively safe.
To Ji Qiu, his nephew, Miao Jianying, represented the future of the Renowned Sword Manor, and he refused to let anything happen to him.
