Deer-Cutting Blade: A Sudden Upheaval

Outside the courtyard, Liu Piaopiao fell silent after hearing those words.

Under the osmanthus tree, Wang Xian looked at the bow in his hands and fell silent as well.

Ever since he'd encountered that deadly woman in Phoenix Town, Wang Xian had felt an inexplicable wariness toward her.

There was no doubt about it: if he let his guard down even slightly, the woman before him could get him killed in an instant.

With a courtyard wall between them, as long as he refused to leave, no matter how sweetly Liu Piaopiao spoke or what bait she dangled, he wouldn't fall for it.

In Wang Xian's eyes, neither Song Tian, despite his extraordinary talent, nor Hu Keke, who had suffered for three years in Moon City,

could outwit the woman before him—even if you added the clever and mischievous Bai Xue to the two of them.

If Liu Piaopiao dared to attack, then even if Liu Xian'er came after him for revenge when she grew up,

he would still badly wound the woman, if not kill her, so she couldn't run off and inform someone in the Imperial City.

Wang Xian had come here with only two things on his mind.

First, to pull the Divine Sword from that mountain and take away the remains of General Qin.

Second, to help Hu Keke fulfill his wish, so he could live and cultivate here in peace from then on.

After all, their paths were different. With Hu Keke's current cultivation, he couldn't leave this world with Wang Xian.

Their fates had begun on the wasteland; he had returned to settle every debt in the Imperial City.

Liu Piaopiao's arrival today had reminded Wang Xian of something.

Even now, he had yet to meet the mysterious master of the Green Garment Tower.
