Moreover, Spirit Crane True Person had a faint suspicion. He was no fool, and he suspected that Qing Chen had set a grand chess game in motion.
The Rebel-Slaying Platform might have been a setup, and Earth Pass Island was another, but just whom was Qing Chen trying to scheme against?
Spirit Crane True Person suddenly heaved a heavy sigh, raised his hand, and tucked the alliance document into his robes.
He thought to himself, Forget it, forget it. Having snatched my life back from the gates of hell is already a tremendous stroke of luck. Whatever game that fox Qing Chen is playing, it can wait until I've secured Earth Pass Island and my Dian Cang Sect!
With this military achievement, the Condensed Jade Sect should trust my Dian Cang Sect more. The repercussions of our last attack on Heavenly Jade Island should vanish without a trace.
He suddenly shuddered, as though Qing Chen's hawklike eyes were fixed on him.
"This man..." he murmured to himself. "So young, yet his methods are truly ruthless! The Condensed Jade Sect will lose quite a few people too, won't they?"
Spirit Crane True Person had gained a deeper understanding of Qing Chen's methods, and even felt a faint fear of him.
He turned and tucked the alliance document into his robes. The hem of his Daoist robe stirred up a gust of Gang Wind, and he swept off the battlements with hurried strides.
"Let's go!"
He shouted at Gao Yuliang behind him, "Earth Pass Island's Island-Protecting Grand Array can hold out for only a few more hours at most! Hurry and come with me to fetch Corpse-Blood True Person and Dragon-Seal True Person! Today, we'll make sure the Snake Spirit Thieves learn that this Earth Pass Island is no place for them
