The Price Was Terrible

That steward possessed Myriad Manifestations Level Nine cultivation. Though he ranked at the bottom among the stewards, his strength was still not to be underestimated.

If he erupted with his full strength, he could likely contend against someone who had just entered the Peak Attainment Realm.

Everyone saw it clearly. The instant that steward took a step forward, a long arrow appeared.

Gulp!

The long arrow exuded a crushing pressure, making the steward swallow hard.

The unease in his heart, which had eased somewhat, tightened again at that moment.

"Steward Liang Jiu, be careful. That long arrow should be the test."

After glancing at the long arrow, Liang Simeng swept her gaze over the shields.

Long arrow!

Shields!

The end!

Her delicate brows knitted together again without her noticing. What connection was there between these things?

Could it be?

A thought suddenly flashed through Liang Simeng's mind.

However!

At the instant that thought flashed through his mind—

Whoosh!

The long arrow moved. In the blink of an eye, it appeared before Liang Jiu.

"Steward Liang Jiu... hurry... the shield... hide beneath the shield on the right."

"..."

Still stunned, Liang Jiu was jolted awake by Liang Simeng's words.

His legs suddenly exerted force. He twisted sideways, narrowly grazing past the long arrow's attack, then rolled across the ground and arrived beneath the shield.

No!

Liang Simeng's expression changed when she saw this.

This was the front. If that long arrow attacked, Elder Liang Jiu would have no way to escape.

The back!

Right!

Liang Simeng's voice rang out again. "Steward Liang Jiu, the back."

Hearing the warning, Liang Jiu had no time to be startled. He turned and rushed to the back.

Huff, huff, huff!

Everyone could hear Liang Jiu panting heavily after he reached the back.
