Chapter 631: Pretending to Be a Couple
“You!” Xuan Cheng was almost driven to fury by him. However, everyone had seen that the scripture had already been returned to him, and the explosion only occurred after he held it in his hands. It was like swallowing bitterness with no way to voice his grievances.
If it had been someone else, Xuan Cheng would have simply killed them. But this mysterious person had displayed skills equal to or greater than theirs earlier. Moreover, with the enigmatic Zhang Sanfeng standing nearby, the outcome of a fight was unpredictable. Even if they won, the scripture was destroyed, leaving them with no benefit.
‘The Sanskrit version of the Marrow Cleansing Scripture may be destroyed, but the monastery still has the Chinese translation. Fortunately, Shaolin’s martial arts haven’t been leaked…’ Xuan Cheng’s thoughts churned rapidly, and he quickly made a decision:
“Hmph! Benefactor, your offense today will not be forgotten by Shaolin. Let us leave.” He beckoned to Fang Zheng and Xu Zhu before leaving.
Zuo Lengchan also cast a venomous glare at Song Qingshu before departing with his subordinates alongside the three.
“Does Alliance Leader Zuo think he can leave so easily?” Song Qingshu sneered. He had clashed with Zuo Lengchan multiple times before, and more critically, the interests of the Mount Song Sect and the Golden Serpent Camp were in direct conflict. With Zuo Lengchan gravely injured, this was a golden opportunity to eliminate him.
Before Zuo Lengchan could respond, Xuan Cheng turned back sharply. “Hmph, do you intend to harm Alliance Leader Zuo?” Fang Zheng and Xu Zhu both stepped forward slightly, subtly shielding Zuo Lengchan.
Song Qingshu frowned slightly. He had guessed that the Shaolin Temple and Mount Song Sect were allied but hadn’t expected their relationship to be this close. Judging by Xuan Cheng and the others’ stance, they seemed willing to fight to the death for Zuo Lengchan.
Song Qingshu chuckled. “So this is why Zuo Lengchan dares to be so bold—plotting to assassinate Qing emissaries and provoking the Golden Serpent Camp. Turns out Shaolin is supporting him from behind.”
