The Wrath of Arhat

"Though it's only a proposal for now, and the higher-ups haven't reached a final decision, it's still trouble hanging over our heads."

Long Zhi paused, then asked tentatively, "Are you planning to return to Cloud Prefecture with us to lie low for a while, or do you have other plans?"

Return to Cloud Prefecture?

Hearing that, a certain figure involuntarily surfaced in Jiang Yuechu's mind.

Without so much as a word, she had run off with Long Zhi to handle this assignment. Not only had she vanished for days on end, she had also casually slaughtered Sumeru Sect's Roaming Void Sea Venerable.

Xu Ming was probably stomping around anxiously in the side courtyard right about now.

But.

Since she was already out here.

Though the job in Great Marsh Township was over, after this entire trip, she had only managed to rake in this little Dao Cultivation and merit.

Going back with her tail between her legs like this would be far too unprofitable.

Better let Xu Ming stomp around a little longer.

What was more.

Since the Sumeru Sect had dared to secretly lay out such a scheme in Great Marsh Township, even dispatching a Roaming Void Sea Venerable, Jiang Yuechu felt that this matter was absolutely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Long Zhi and Chen Zheng's task had merely been to investigate the situation.

Now that the information had been reported to the Heavenly Court, their task could naturally be considered complete.

But for her...

The merit of Heavenly Court people was not easy to snatch. Killing them could easily leave one covered in trouble.

Sumeru Sect members, however, were another matter entirely.

Killing them was righteous and justified—she could reap a vast amount of Dao Cultivation while conveniently lining her pockets as well.
