Six Paths Immortal Venerable
Killing Someone
Not just them—even the three in the distance were at a loss for words. They would have loved to get their hands on the Witch Spirit Sword, especially He Sheng.
Unfortunately, their strength was lacking, and they had yet to break through to the Soul Severing Celestial Venerable level. They were afraid they wouldn't be able to handle this job either.
In the end, the truth was simple: they had no chance.
But just because they had no chance didn't mean no one else did. At the very least, when the people from You Rong Adventure Group heard this, their eyes instinctively turned toward Xiao Lian.
This was a genuine Chaos Celestial Venerable! But they also knew that he was always proud and arrogant. Those who knew a little about the situation understood that, given Xiao Lian's status, even a Witch Spirit Sword might not be enough to persuade him.
At the gray-clad man's words, Xiao Lian merely raised an eyebrow. His greatest interest wasn't in how to obtain the sword.
Right now, he was curious about why this man would rather offer the Witch Spirit Sword as a bargaining chip than give up on accomplishing one particular thing.
In the crowd, the gray-clad man's eyes were fixed on Xiao Lian as well. His meaning seemed clear: his earlier words had been meant for him.
In truth, Gu Jun had been thinking this way ever since he met him the night before. He knew the man was no ordinary fighter, and his instincts told him this might be someone worthy of trust, someone he could entrust with the task.
Looking into his eyes, a faint smile appeared on Xiao Lian's lips. "It seems you planned this out long ago?"
The gray-clad man nodded frankly.
