Chapter 9 – He is one of my people, not something you can kill just because you want to.
The Southern Border of Northern Region.
A cliff stretches for thousands of miles.
Deeply shrouded in mist, the view is less than half a meter and you cannot see where the other side is.
Yet beneath this cliff, which is difficult for birds to cross, lies a great demonic sect that makes the world tremble.
The Rakshasa Sect of Netherworld!
Through a layer of mist, a shocking array of buildings came into view.
Houses were scattered all over the place.
It was a wonder who had the power to create such a huge complex of buildings under a steep cliff!
The palace in the center was extremely luxurious. With a shiny golden roof emitting endless light, a black plaque hung above the door with two large blood-colored letters that read:
Rakshasa!
Inside the palace.
A beautiful figure could be faintly seen behind the phoenix curtains.
Her silhouette leaned lazily on the embroidered sofa, although her appearance could not be seen, her every behavior moved the heart.
The messenger in black knelt on the ground, his head bowed low and his eyes unblinking.
Because he knew that if he dared to look up once more, his head would leave his body forever.
“Your Majesty, a clue has come from the Southwest Region.”
“Speak.”
The woman’s voice sounded lazy.
The messenger in black said, “Five days ago, Su Shi, the leader of Fengsha City, dueled with Zhan Qingchen, the Chief Disciple of Tianji Pavilion, and the outcome of the fight is unknown.”
“But Zhan Qingchen returned to her sect that night, while Su Shi we haven’t heard anything so far, most likely ……”
“He is already dead.”
The woman said indifferently, “Zhan Qingchen is at the Realm of Golden Elixir, while Su Shi is only at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, he will certainly die if he insists on duel.”
“It’s unfortunate, I still want to use the Shu family to enter Nanli City, but now it seems that plan will be put on hold for the time being.”
Her tone did not fluctuate in the slightest, as if she did not care about Su Shi’s death.
The messenger in black asked, “With Su Shi’s death, what about Fengsha City’s affairs?”
“Just find someone to take over, it’s just a small place, not worthy of undue attention.”
Speaking at this point, the woman looked a little tired and waved her hand, “You can leave.”
“Yes.”
The messenger in black bowed and retreated.
The great hall became deathly quiet.
After an unknown period of time, a sigh came from behind the phoenix curtain.
“Su Shi …… He seems to have been in my care since he was seven years old, doesn’t he?”
“Although he has average talent and a stupid brain, but after all, he is one of my people, not something you can kill just because you want to.”
“Ghost Twelve.”
“This subordinate is here.”
The air swirled in the corner of the palace and a shadow-like figure knelt on one knee.
“Tell Cen Baihu to issue the Black Killing Order, I want Zhan Qingchen dead!”
“Yes!”
……
Medicinal House.
Su Shi wore a pure white brocade robe, outlining a straight and erect figure.
He was a handsome and dashing man, with his sword brows and starry eyes, like a true gentleman in a turbulent world.
Zhan Qingchen stared at him with unblinking eyes.
Why didn’t I realize that he looked so handsome before?
“Su Shi, do you really want to leave now?”
Zhan Qingchen asked aloud.
Su Shi nodded, “There is no impenetrable wall in this world, should news of my being here spread, it would not be a good thing for you and me.”
After all, Medicinal House was the residence of Tianji Pavilion.
As a Demon General, it was already a very risky act for him to stay here for a few days.
