Chapter 137: Do Not Move Against Falling God Peak
Half an incense stick's worth of time later.
On the stone-paved main street, now a scene of wreckage and destruction, Qin Hao retrieved from Sha Wenshan a palm-sized broken jade pendant that the man handed over.
"Why has the White Sand Gang been going to such lengths to obtain this thing?"
Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, Qin Hao withdrew his gaze and furrowed his brow as he fixed his eyes on Sha Wenshan, whose face was deathly pale.
Hearing this, Sha Wenshan coughed several times. The internal organs that had been shattered by Cao Gaoshan's slash flared with acute agony, and he spat out a mouthful of bright blood, but still managed to reply with effort, saying, "It was... the Alliance Under Heaven that instructed us to find this object. I do not know the details behind it."
The moment those words fell, Shangguan Qingqing's eyes lifted at the corners. She gave the young man in white a glance and said with sudden understanding, "So the power behind you that none of us can afford to provoke turns out to be the Alliance Under Heaven, one of the four top forces in the martial world of Great Li. No wonder you were all so arrogant."
The young man in white said nothing, only letting a cold gleam flash through his eyes.
In the current situation, the lives of himself and the others were entirely in the enemy's hands. All that was needed was to make the other side aware of the White Sand Gang's backing and back off. If he displayed any further show of insolence, it would likely have the opposite effect.
As he saw it, as long as he could leave alive today, he would see to it that these people paid back this humiliation a hundredfold another day.
