Chapter 1065 - Rescue
Ji Lu'an let out a heavy sigh, his voice laced with fatigue.
"I finally gathered all the evidence on that beast, but I was discovered," he said bitterly.
The weariness on his face and the gauntness of his frame revealed the hardships he had endured over the past two years. He had spent every waking moment secretly gathering evidence of Miao Hanxuan's heinous crimes. Because he lacked the strength to challenge his former master directly, Ji Lu'an had chosen to expose him, hoping to ruin Miao Hanxuan's name and status.
However, Miao Hanxuan had noticed his efforts.
"He sent these people to silence me."
Liu Wuxie nodded. He had already guessed as much.
At the Heavenly Spirit Celestial Academy, Miao Hanxuan wouldn't dare kill his disciple outright, not without drawing unwanted attention, but he would send others to carry out the dirty work. That way, there would be no trace.
That was why Ji Lu'an had kept himself hidden within the sect for the past two years, never daring to leave. He knew that the moment he stepped outside, killers would come after him.
"You want to meddle in this affair?" one of the two attackers snarled, clearly irritated.
It was apparent now that Liu Wuxie not only knew Ji Lu'an, but he also knew something about Elder Miao's secrets. Since that was the case, both Liu Wuxie and Ji Lu'an had to die.
The man on the right stepped forward and narrowed his eyes, sizing Liu Wuxie up. Judging from his aura, Liu Wuxie appeared to be only at the sixth level of the Spirit Profound Realm, barely worth acknowledging as a threat.
