Chapter 171: Was he really Terreifying?
"Senior Jiang, my luck must be blessed by the heavens to see you so closely."
Inwardly, though, he couldn’t help but curse his damned luck. He continued.
"Exalted immortal, your might could silence the roar of the Primordial Chaos! I prostrate in shame, pleading forgiveness for my ignorant trespass, unworthy of your boundless tolerance!"
He was genuinely hoping that Jiang Hao would forgive him this time. He would never ever even speak to himself about Jiang Hao from this day onwards.
Jiang Hao looked at all this expressionlessly. Inwardly, though, he couldn’t help but wonder if he really seemed that terrifying. He had never killed someone just because he wanted to, nor had he ever used his strength to show dominance over someone without a reason.
But it looked like reasons didn’t matter, only results left behind marks that affected someone’s perception of him. They were all just afraid of him because he had killed thousands of cultivators. None of them cared why he did it.
In the end, he really didn’t care about someone’s opinion of him, but knowing this point was in itself an experience for him.
Jiang Hao had stopped for a second when they bowed toward him, as he went into this thought process. But after clearing his mind of this topic, he moved again without responding to them.
The two cultivators were still bowing, but when they saw him move away without saying anything, they became traumatized internally, thinking that Jiang Hao hadn’t forgiven them. But since they didn’t know what else they could do to earn forgiveness, they just stayed like that, waiting for him to walk far away.
Jiang Hao walked for a while and saw as much of the city as possible. Wherever he walked, there was pin-drop silence, as information about him walking around the city might have already spread throughout the area.
After having a good walk, he came back. He wanted to test his strength a little, but the only person who could satisfy that condition was his senior sister, who was still not out of her seclusion.
