Chapter 197: On the Brink
A flash of killing intent flickered in Chen Yang’s eyes.
Within the borders of the Kingdom of Qian dynasty, remnants of the Bare Body Sect were to be executed without mercy! Any force that colluded with the Bare Body Sect wouldn’t escape judgment either!
Li Yanchu fell silent. There seemed to be a deeper layer of meaning behind all this. Chen Yang also appeared to know a bit too much.
But then again, Chen Yang was a military officer of the Kingdom of Qian dynasty’s Court of Judicial Review, and also a registered outer disciple of Mount Longhu. His identity could indeed be trusted.
Especially considering it was Chen Yang who had delivered the Clearheart Jade Pendant from the old Celestial Master to Li Yanchu, and later passed on the news of the Blissful Land’s opening. He was, without a doubt, a trusted ally.
At that moment, the three southern barbarians lowered their heads and conferred for a moment. Then, one of the strong, broad-shouldered middle-aged men stepped forward.
“My grandmother says that we’re close to Mount Jinting, and I don’t wish to stir up unnecessary conflict. To avoid trouble, she proposes that we split the strange fruit evenly and settle this matter peacefully!”
His accent was somewhat odd. It clearly sounded like the stilted, unfamiliar Mandarin of someone from the southern tribes.
Among the four disciples of the Longevity Sect, the most composed white-robed young man exchanged a look with his companions.
Then he spoke up, “Very well. Whoever sees it, gets a share, that’s fair.”
The implication was clear: Li Yanchu and Chen Yang were also included in the distribution. Once this young man spoke, the other members of the Longevity Sect said no more. It was obvious that he was the one in charge of their group.
Only one bright-eyed, bold-looking girl still showed a trace of displeasure in her gaze; her temperament seemed quite fiery. Chen Yang and Li Yanchu exchanged a glance and then rose to their feet.
