Chapter 146 - 144: Soul Capturing Technique
"Zhiyao is recovering from her injuries in Bixiao Tower, the severity of her condition unknown, only that she has yet to regain consciousness," Xiao Chen replied.
Nan Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew how domineering the Thousand Shadows Sword was. Even a Cultivator at the Emergence Stage could have their Golden Core injured by the sword, potentially rendering them disabled.
With Shen Zhiyao’s Cultivation Base at the Golden Core Stage, it was impossible for her to survive. As long as Shen Zhiyao died, there would be no one to testify that it was her doing.
Only the three of them had fled in panic after injuring Shen Zhiyao, afraid that the sword wound might reveal it was caused by the Thousand Shadows Sword.
Yet after waiting for so long, Shen Qinghe had not come to trouble her, which left her hanging in suspense, uncertain of Shen Qinghe’s intentions.
"Zhiyao hasn’t woken up from her injury. Qinghe must be very worried, right? Just don’t know who had a grudge against Zhiyao to commit such an act in broad daylight," Nan Sheng continued to probe subtly.
At the time, she was blinded by obsession, focused solely on killing Shen Zhiyao, without considering the consequences of carrying out the deed in broad daylight, wondering what she would do if someone happened upon the scene.
Most importantly, she had used the Thousand Shadows Sword to stab Shen Qinghe. One glance at Shen Zhiyao’s wound would confirm it was the work of the Thousand Shadows Sword.
Even if she really did kill Shen Zhiyao, destroying Shen Qinghe’s Dao Heart, she couldn’t escape responsibility.
Yet, after such a long time since the incident, Shen Qinghe still hadn’t confronted her, leaving her anxious and fearing that Shen Qinghe was plotting some toxic scheme to eliminate her.
