Chapter 146.2: True Sun Fire, So Useful
The next morning, Xu Tongchen arrived outside Qi Yuan’s cave residence, deeply worried.
Huang Tu went livid upon discovering that his master had fallen. Even Xu Tongchen had to move carefully, afraid of suffering the brunt of his anger.
The Blood-Clothed Sword God’s massacre filled Xu Tongchen with reluctant admiration. He truly wanted to know what kind of great cultivator dared make an enemy of a colossal power like the Bright King Palace. Besides, many forces in the Cuiyun Continent had long held grievances against it.
Regardless, Xu Tongchen did not think the Blood-Clothed Sword God had much future. A single late-stage Violet Palace was not enough to shake the Bright Palace’s foundation. At best, he could deal some harm to the Bright Palace, but not without losing his own life in the process.
Xu Tongchen called from outside, “I’m here!”
“Oh, you’ve come. Come in.”
The cave residence opened, and Xu Tongchen stepped inside, where he immediately saw a weary-looking Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan set down a jade slip of cultivation methods, saying slowly, “Fellow Daoist Tongchen, wait here for a while. I have people to kill—I mean, I'm going to meet one of my white moonlights.”
Xu Tongchen froze. Such a strange fellow. The first time they met, he was about to kill. Now, he was about to kill again.
“This one is nearby. I’ll be back quickly. Make yourself comfortable.” Without another word, Qi Yuan left the cave, leaving behind only a helpless Xu Tongchen.
Qi Yuan was far too mysterious. Xu Tongchen didn’t even know how many enemies he had. Every one of their meetings began with “I have people to kill.”
