He was launching his sneak attack already?
But you've jumped out so conspicuously that everyone has spotted you first. What kind of sneak assassination is that?
The Masked Man instantly set every nerve in Summer Path Mountain's group on edge. Most of the Summer Path Mountain disciples had heard Shi Chun's conversation with Gu Liani and knew what was about to happen.
Just as they thought the Masked Man would leap straight at Wu Shanshan and kill her, he instead drifted lightly to the ground and stood with the representatives of the Four Sects, right in front of her.
What the hell? Gu Liani and her companions' hearts instantly leaped into their throats. It was one thing to mingle masked among the main group, but now you actually dare to stand out openly? Aren't you conspicuous enough already?
Afraid people won't notice something strange about you?
You call this a sneak assassination?
Had he lunged straight at her and attacked, they could have accepted it. What was he playing at now?
Most of the representatives sent out by the Four Sects merely glanced at Shi Chun, sizing him up without much reaction. Most had no idea which sect this Masked Man belonged to. They only knew he was not one of theirs, so he must have been sent by one of the others. As for how someone else dressed, or whether he wanted to cover his face, that was none of their concern.
More importantly, it was not their place to concern themselves with it.
Of course, the three representatives from Summer Path Mountain knew. Seeing Shi Chun simply pop out and come over to them, they were nearly dumbstruck.
Concealing their astonishment, they looked at Shi Chun, then quickly toward Gu Liani, hoping to learn what was going on.
