Chapter 761: The Ninth Person
After they left, lightning and thunder raged around the ancient divine platform.
Lightning chains lashed out wildly, heavenly lightning rampaged, and ferocious beasts howled in agony as their bodies were reduced to dust.
When the lightning storm finally subsided, silence returned to the surroundings.
Some time later, a figure appeared near the divine platform. It was Qin Sang.
From the moment Xiang Yi and the others began deciphering the ancient barrier to when the ferocious beasts attacked, Qin Sang had remained nearby. Yet he found no opportunity to act and could only watch as they completed their task and departed.
He had not followed them further because he knew there would be even fewer chances to make a move. So he decided to withdraw.
From their earlier conversation, he had learned that Xiang Yi had promised to help Cui Ji and the plump man retrieve the treasure. The three of them would not part ways for a while. Following them alone after leaving the Purple Mist would carry far too much risk of exposure.
Besides, Qin Sang had matters of his own to attend to. He couldn’t keep following them indefinitely.
But that did not mean he had given up on revenge. There would be plenty of time in the future. They were out in the open while he remained in the shadows. Eventually, the right moment would come.
Qin Sang stood at the foot of the ancient divine platform, not daring to get too close.
Having just witnessed the lightning chains massacre the ferocious beasts, he was still shaken.
He hadn’t seen clearly what Xiang Yi had done. To his surprise, the barrier on the platform appeared completely intact. He circled around it but found nothing unusual.
