Chapter 220:
The fact that Taoist Qingzhuo’s foundation is damaged, injured by an ordinary martial artist, cannot be known to outsiders until he recovers from his injuries.
Losing his position as an elder might just make him worry too much, maybe the situation will only be laughed at by the other elders… but Taoist Qingzhuo doesn’t want to take the risk.
"In theory, if I want to keep this matter from spreading, I should eliminate all the mortals who know about it…"
"But what about Qiao Shui…" Taoist Qingzhuo frowned.
If he returns to the sect, then he will be a senior elder with a weakened foundation, as long as he goes into seclusion to heal and rest, there is hope for recovery.
If he goes to Anxi Pass and kills the soldiers and civilians of the lonely city, and angers the fiery Qiao family member, the consequences will be even more serious.
Even if there is only a ten percent chance of a one-to-one exchange with the Qiao family member, it would be a great loss for Taoist Qingzhuo, who looks down on ordinary martial artists.
"Although that’s true, it wouldn’t be appropriate to let the matter spread among the people of Zhong Province."
Elder Qingzhuo is contemplating a strategy, as his own foundation has been weakened, he naturally cannot personally go up against mortals.
