Chapter 1807 - Chen Xuanyang
Chapter 1807: Chen Xuanyang
Xia Qingying glared at Liang Qiu coldly and ignored him.
She had a deep impression of Liang Qiu’s cowardice earlier on.
Although Liang Qiu was talented and his cultivation realm increased rapidly and his combat strength was considered as one of the upper echelons of Snow Wind Ridge, his guts and boldness were truly unsuitable for him to be the commander of the guards of Snow Wind Ridge.
At the very least, Su Zimo was much stronger than Liang Qiu in every aspect!
Although Xia Qingying did not say it, she had a plan in mind.
Upon returning to Snow Wind Ridge, she would remove Liang Qiu from his position as the commander!
After Xia Qingying’s cold reaction, Liang Qiu could vaguely guess that her impression of him was probably extremely bad.
“Mistress, what should we do now?”
A guard of Snow Wind Ridge walked forward and asked.
“Let’s tidy up the battlefield and return to Snow Wind Ridge immediately!”
Xia Qingying waved her hand and ordered.
Many cultivators of Snow Wind Ridge agreed readily and began cleaning up the battlefield.
In this battle, none of the cultivators of Snow Wind Ridge died. At most, they were only slightly injured.
The moment they joined the battlefield, the Evil Wolf Army was already fleeing in defeat.
In this trip, Su Zimo killed a total of 52 soldiers from the Evil Wolf Army!
Among them was the leader of the Evil Wolf Army, a Grade 5 Black Immortal, and 13 Grade 4 Black Immortals!
Many Snow Wind Ridge guards collected the Dharmic treasures and storage bags of the Evil Wolf Army and handed them to Xia Qingying.
Those items were quite a gain for Snow Wind Ridge.
Most of the Black Immortals in Snow Wind Ridge did not have black-grade Dharmic treasures yet.
Ta! Ta! Ta!
Right then, the ground shook violently once more and dust billowed in the distance—another army was charging over!
“Not good!”
Liang Qiu’s expression changed starkly as he exclaimed, “The main force of the Evil Wolf Army must be here for revenge! I knew it! Su Zimo truly caused a huge trouble for us! We’re doomed!”
When the other Snow Wind Ridge guards heard that, their faces were ashen with fear.
However, Xia Qingying was in no hurry to make a judgment as confusion flashed through her eyes.
“I got it! Su Zimo wasn’t chasing after the escaping Evil Wolf Army at all! He fled right away instead!”
Liang Qiu said hatefully, “He knows that he’s in big trouble. That’s why he escaped and pushed the blame to our Snow Wind Ridge!”
“What Commander Liang said is not impossible.”
“That’s right. No matter what, Su Zimo has only ascended for a year and doesn’t have any feelings for our Snow Wind Ridge. It’s only logical for him to leave just like that.”
“Earlier on, I was wondering why Su Zimo wanted to catch up to the Evil Wolf Army since it was impossible for him to do so. Now I know why.”
Upon hearing Liang Qiu’s words, many of the Snow Wind Ridge guards wavered.
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
Xia Qingying hollered and looked at the dust in the distance. “These people should not be from the Evil Wolf Army. Everyone, there’s no need to panic.”
It was already strange for a small squad of the Evil Wolf Army to appear in this area—why would the main force of the Evil Wolf Army appear?
Furthermore, even if the Evil Wolf Army wanted revenge, they could not have arrived so quickly.
The moment the Evil Wolf Army left, this army appeared.
Moreover, the direction that the army came from was Blood Sun Valley. Xia Qingying already had a vague guess.
Before long, everyone caught sight of the flag waving in the army.
“Indeed,”
Xia Qingying nodded.
The flag was completely black with a blood-colored sun tattooed in the middle, resembling a rising sun—that was the flag of Blood Sun Valley!
Many of the Snow Wind Ridge guards heaved a sigh of relief when they saw the flag.
Liang Qiu seemed to have forgotten what he had just said as he smiled embarrassedly. “Thankfully, it was just a false alarm.”
Before long, the army arrived before everyone from Snow Wind Ridge. At a glance, there were more than a thousand of them and they were fully equipped!
Their leader was a young man in silver-white armor. He held a silver spear in his hands and his black hair was tied up. His face was thin and his eyes were long and narrow, giving off a sinister feeling.
“It’s the young master of Blood Sun Valley’s Valley Master, Chen Xuanyang, a dignified Grade 6 Black Immortal!”
Liang Qiu whispered when he saw that person.
This was the first time that some of the Snow Wind Ridge guards had seen this person and they revealed looks of surprise and reverence.
Grade 6 Black Immortal!
Even the Territorial Lord of Snow Wind Ridge was only a Grade 6 Black Immortal.
It was said that the Valley Master of Blood Sun Valley was a Grade 8 Black Immortal!
Chen Xuanyang led the army here and looked at the corpses of the Evil Wolf Army not far away with a cold glint in his eyes.
“Young Master Chen, why are you here?”
Xia Qingying welcomed him with cupped fists.
Chen Xuanyang smiled at Xia Qingying with a bright gaze. “Qingying, I’ve told you before that there’s no need to be so distant between us. Just call me Xuanyang.”
Many guards could tell that the young master of Blood Sun Valley looked at Xia Qingying differently.
There had long been rumors in Snow Wind Ridge that this young master of Blood Sun Valley had feelings for their young mistress.
However, no one was certain.
“Erm…”
Xia Qingying hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Xuanyang.”
“Yes,”
Chen Xuanyang nodded slightly before saying slowly, “During this period of time, my subordinate reported that traces of one of the Four Great Bandits, the Evil Wolf Army, have appeared in the vicinity of Blood Sun Valley.”
“Today happens to be the day when Snow Wind Ridge comes to Blood Sun Valley to exchange for Essence Condensation Pills. I was worried that something might happen to you so I led the army to receive you personally. To think that I was still a step too late.”
At that point, Chen Xuanyang looked at the dozens of corpses of the Evil Wolf Army with a cold expression. However, there was a strange look in his eyes.
“Hmph, the Evil Wolf Army has truly targeted you guys!”
Riding on a horse, Chen Xuanyang came before Xia Qingying slowly and asked with concern, “Qingying, are you hurt?”
“I’m fine,”
Xia Qingying shook her head. “The guards of Snow Wind Ridge are fine this time round as well. There were no casualties.”
“Oh?”
Seemingly surprised, Chen Xuanyang asked curiously, “The Evil Wolf Army is violent, bloodthirsty and powerful. To think that you guys would be able to kill dozens of them. I’m truly impressed.”
Chen Xuanyang swept his gaze across everyone from Snow Wind Ridge and frowned slightly.
“Strange, among the guards on this trip, the strongest are you and this commander who are only Grade 4 Black Immortals. How did you guys kill that Grade 5 Black Immortal of the Evil Wolf Army?”
Chen Xuanyang asked again.
Just as Xia Qingying was about to reply, her heart skipped a beat and she asked, “How did you know that he’s a Grade 5 Black Immortal?”
If a cultivator was alive, his spirit consciousness could detect the other party’s cultivation realm.
However, it was difficult to detect a dead person accurately!
It was truly strange that Chen Xuanyang could accurately say that the leader of the Evil Wolf Army was a Grade 5 Black Immortal.
