Chapter 410: A Punch
# 410. A Punch
Xu Qi’an’s gaze left Cao Qingyang and first fell upon Yang Cuixue, Fu Jingmen, and the others not far behind him, naturally including the graceful beauty, Xiao Yuenu.
He swept his gaze past the members of the Wulin Alliance, then examined the Lotus Daoists of the Earth Sect, as well as the black-robed, masked secret agents of King Huai.
The spies’ expressions were concealed by their masks, but their eyes burned with naked hatred.
It was this very Xu Qi’an who caused such an uproar in the capital, forcing His Majesty to issue a self-reproach edict, leaving King Huai disgraced even in death — his bones denied burial in the imperial tombs, his tablet forbidden from entering the Ancestral Shrine.
The mysterious master in Chuzhou, who fought one against five with overwhelming ferocity, was the one who killed King Huai. The spies hated him, but they bore no resentment — the strong feeding on the weak was the way of the world.
What made them seethe with rage and disgust was Xu Qi’an’s behaviour. A mere ant, who could have been crushed by a single finger when King Huai was alive, now leapt about like a clown, using King Huai’s death as a stepping stone to fame and fortune.
Utterly infuriating.
The Lotus Daoists of the Earth Sect were even more blatant, some sneering, some smirking coldly, and others flashing provoking smiles as they met Xu Qi’an’s gaze.
