Murderous Intent, the Dagger Revealed (Part Two)

Leng Ancheng's body dissolved into a flock of crows. Amid a flurry of black feathers, he swept through like a raging torrent and sent the entire Shanyin County Office flying into the sky.

Such was the brutal, overbearing force unleashed when Reverted Elixir masters clashed.

The shifts in qi stirred by the five Reverted Elixir masters' battle rolled like a storm through everyone's spiritual senses.

Inside a tent, Yue Luan held an ancient scroll and sensed the changes in qi at the Shanyin County Office nearby. His brows drew together.

Demon Cultivators, the Devil Sect... So it had begun after all.

He kept sensing the battle. But why weren't the Three Demons of Mystic Mountain the ones making a move?

In another large tent, the night's drinking had long since wound down. Cups and plates lay scattered everywhere.

Blackwind King, Young Master Scale, and Lord Dushan exchanged glances. Each saw a trace of surprise in the others' eyes.

The fighting had indeed begun, but the people involved did not seem to be the ones they had expected.

"Brother Liu," Lord Dushan said, looking at Su Che, "Yue Luan doesn't seem to have made his move yet..."

Amid the clashing currents of qi, Lord Dushan could sense Yuchen and Leng Ancheng, but Elder Yue Luan did not seem to be among them.

Someone else appeared to have made a move.

It seemed to be the two Reverted Elixir masters from the Eastern Sea. What had changed?

"Everyone, let's wait and see."

Su Che raised his wine cup. "Trust me. We'll see Yue Luan make his move soon enough."

Blackwind King laughed heartily several times.

But when he exchanged a glance with Young Master Scale, he found the other man's expression as conflicted as his own.

"Very well. Let's wait and see."
