Chapter 1765: Chapter 1765: What’s the matter? Has someone arrived?
The Young Sect Master Xie Qi was still clamoring to go and set the tea stall on fire himself.
The two elders halted him, reasoning that if the poison was indeed administered by the tea stall’s waiter, there would be no one left inside by now; they would have surely fled. Was there even a need for them to resort to murder and arson?
Therefore, they decided to sit and rest right where they were. Once rested, they would resume their journey.
…
On the road, Qian Jiyun and Wan Yu had already taken their leave.
“Sir, are we just leaving like this?”
Wan Yu was quite puzzled by Qian Jiyun’s actions. They had given away three Eighth Grade antidote pills just like that, and now they were the ones to leave first, not even waiting for Xie Qi and his two companions?
“Aren’t we going to accompany them after saving them?”
“Travel with them?”
Qian Jiyun chuckled softly, shaking his head.
He had no intention of traveling with the people from the Evil Sect right away. Xie Qi might be brainless, but that didn’t mean the two elders were equally foolish.
If he had waited after providing the antidote pills, his intentions would have been too obvious; anyone would realize he had a motive. Moreover, they would start to suspect that the earlier poisoning was his doing.
“There will be plenty of opportunities.”
He summoned the triceratops, and the two of them got on its back to continue their journey.
Meanwhile, behind them, Xie Qi and the two elders had also started on their way. Xie Qi was keen to catch up with Qian Jiyun, but to his surprise, throughout the journey, he couldn’t find a trace of them.
It was not until they entered the sphere of influence of the Thousands of Demons Sect, in Ancient Demon Town.
By then, An Jiuyue had also emerged from Qian Jiyun’s space, and they were sitting in an inn.
“There are two days left until the opening of the Hundred-Legged Jade.”
While eating the dishes Qian Jiyun served her, she spoke up.
According to Jiyun’s plan, they were to wait in this town for Xie Qi of the Evil Sect to arrive and enter the Demon Sect with him.
She had also learned from Jiyun about Xie Qi’s character—a pure prodigal, a person accustomed to comfort, who would undoubtedly seek to enjoy himself thoroughly once he arrived at his destination.
The inn they were in was the best in Ancient Demon Town, with the bottom three floors dedicated to dining, and the upper three floors for lodging.
As long as they waited here, they were sure to encounter Xie Qi and his companions.
Indeed, just as they were enjoying their meal, more people came in. An Jiuyue did not recognize Xie Qi, but both Qian Jiyun and Wan Yu did.
Upon seeing the three newcomers, Wan Yu’s expression changed.
“What’s wrong? Have they arrived?”
An Jiuyue followed Wan Yu’s gaze and saw three oddly dressed individuals enter from the main door. All the other guests, who were previously busy with their meals, showed expressions of fear upon seeing the newcomers.
This alone indicated that the Evil Sect was no pleasant place, filled with thoroughly wicked people.
“Madam, those are the people from the Evil Sect,” Wan Yu said.
“Heh.”
An Jiuyue chuckled softly.
She had thought they might be formidable characters, but upon probing, she found that the cultivation levels of these three were actually lower than hers.
“Are we going to enter the Demon Sect following them?” she asked.
“Mm.”
Qian Jiyun nodded, without turning his head to look at the trio.
Meanwhile, Xie Qi, with his sharp eyes, had spotted Wan Yu and immediately abandoned the elders, running over excitedly.
“Benefactor, what a coincidence to see you here.”
