In a place as perilous as this, the value of a powerful illusion-breaking aid was beyond measure. Whether out of fellowship with a fellow sect member or considerations of profit, they should have done everything possible to keep him and continue cooperating.
Letting such a person leave, Liu Yanqing found it rather difficult to understand.
Shi Pojun's expression remained calm. He did not answer immediately, merely gazing deeply in the direction Chen Fei had departed.
"Keep him? Act together?"
Chang Guwu shook his head, the smile on his face fading as he lowered his voice. "Sister Yanqing, it is not that we did not want to keep him. Rather... Brother Shi wants to kill him. Right now, he was waiting for you to arrive."
Liu Yanqing could not help but be slightly startled.
"Kill him? Why?"
Liu Yanqing looked toward Shi Pojun, the confusion in her eyes deepening. She knew Shi Pojun. Though he was no soft-hearted man, anyone who attacked a fellow sect member without cause would face extremely severe consequences if discovered.
Chang Guwu glanced at Shi Pojun and briefly explained the grudge between Shi Pojun and Chen Fei.
Liu Yanqing listened quietly, her expression gradually changing from initial surprise to solemnity before ultimately settling into calm stillness.
Liu Yanqing blinked her autumn-water eyes and looked at Shi Pojun again. "Brother Shi, since you have decided to kill him, both of them were there just now. Chen Fei is merely at the Great Cang Realm Early Stage, while Cao Feiyu is already seriously injured. With your and Brother Chang's strength, you should have been able to keep them there. Why specifically wait for me, then combine the power of all three Great Cang Realm Mid-stage cultivators to surround and kill them?"
This was the same question Liu Yanqing
