"Do you two intend to kill me as well? Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Snow Immortal Sect?" Deng Qingxue's expression changed.
"Haha, accidents are perfectly normal when one is traveling outside, aren't they? Besides, this is the depths of the Endless Forest, where powerful demonic beasts abound. If you die here, there'd be nothing strange about it. And even if your Snow Immortal Sect learns that we were the killers, so what? Would the Snow Immortal Sect go to war with our Absolute God Sect over this?" Hu Duan laughed.
The Snow Immortal Sect and the Absolute God Sect were both Great Sects in the central region.
There were also certain dealings between them.
Great Sects would meet at major events and participate together in things like martial competitions.
Therefore, many of their elders had met before.
They were usually cordial with one another, but when traveling outside, they could still fight to the death over profit.
If someone from a weaker faction killed someone from a stronger one, the stronger faction would retaliate.
But if the two sides were evenly matched, then when someone below was killed, they often had no choice but to swallow it. It was difficult for a full-scale war to break out.
There was no helping it. If evenly matched forces went to war, both sides would suffer, making it easy for other factions to pounce like tigers.
"Hmph, it seems the two of you never intended to spare me from the very beginning." Deng Qingxue said coldly.
"That's right. Since you're with this brat, it's best to kill you while we're at it, lest we invite further complications." Hu Duan said.
"Are you two done talking? The people from your Absolute God Sect were indeed killed by me, but they deserved it.
