"Shi Youbing? What's he doing here?" Killing intent flashed in Qin Hao's eyes. Back in the Sword Martial Soul Cultivation Chamber on Heaven-Piercing Azure Mountain, Shi Youbing had escaped only by using a Divine Ability to flee. If not for that and the mountain's rules, Qin Hao would have cut him down.
Qin Hao had thought Shi Youbing would never dare show his face again. Yet here he was, at the Heavenly Extremity Inn.
Worse, Shi Youbing was sitting across from Zhuge Hong and Jian Changfeng.
Threatening me?
Qin Hao's face darkened. His first thought was that Shi Youbing meant to use Zhuge Hong and Jian Changfeng against him.
His expression betrayed nothing, but killing intent surged within him.
Qin Hao had no fondness whatsoever for the Shi Family. Given the chance, he would kill Shi Youbing without hesitation.
"Qin Hao, you've finally made it!"
"Hahaha! Three years! Who would've thought we'd really meet again in Central Continent?"
Zhuge Hong and Jian Changfeng had already risen. They swept past Shi Youbing, came up to Qin Hao, and greeted him with laughter.
"We have indeed. Senior Brother Zhuge, Senior Brother Jian, I hope you've been well." Qin Hao smiled and nodded, casting Shi Youbing a nearly imperceptible glance.
The two had walked straight past Shi Youbing. Qin Hao had not expected that. Clearly, Shi Youbing was not using them to threaten him after all.
"Qin Hao, congratulations. We've heard all about you and Junior Sister Mu."
Zhuge Hong smiled. Before reaching the Holy City, he had asked about Qin Hao, Chen Jianqing, and Mu Ziqing, and learned what had happened in the Great Gang Hidden Land.
Even as he spoke, Zhuge Hong sent Qin Hao a voice transmission. "We didn't expect Shi Youbing to be at the Heavenly Extremity Inn either.
