Chapter 1174
Everyone fell into silence for a while . The thought of the battle earlier still gave them all a sense of lingering fear .
Chu Yang gave the two of them a concise account of what had happened . When he reached the end, Yue Lingxue and Feng Yurou exchanged a look, both seeing the puzzlement in each other's eyes .
Man in black? Who was that?
According to Chu Yang's description, even if this person's cultivation was slightly lower than the two of them, it wasn't lower by much . There was still such an expert in Tianji City right now?
"Could it be the founder of the Zhuge Clan, Zhuge Cangqiong?" Feng Yurou spoke musingly, "It seems like the only publicly-known ninth-grade Supreme Martial Artist within Tianji City now is just him alone . "
Yue Lingxue's brows furrowed . "That's possible but not really either . Everyone knows that the reason why the Zhuge Clan dresses in hempen robes is because of Zhuge Cangqiong . His father was one of the Nine Tribulations back then; after founding the Zhuge Clan, he went missing immediately . Later on, the news of his death spread but no one has seen neither the person if he's alive nor the corpse if he's dead . As a son, Zhuge Cangqiong didn't serve the mourning period in time and he's always taken that to heart . From then on, Zhuge Cangqiong has only worn hempen mourning wear his entire life . "
"As the head of the clan, Zhuge Cangqiong had done so, so the clansmen naturally all started to emulate him . Eventually, hempen mourning clothes became the mark of the Zhuge Clan!"
"Back then, Zhuge Cangqiong had once said, 'As long as one is alive, one's filial duties will never end' . For ten thousand years, he has never worn any other clothes," Yue Lingxue frowned and continued, "By right, a filial son such as him… It doesn't really make much sense for him to dress all in black and suddenly come and ambush Chu Yang and the rest…"
Feng Yurou nodded incessantly .
At the side, Mo Lei'er thought what she had heard was immensely laughable . With a cold smile, she said, "I feel that what the two elders had said is terribly wrong . "
"There's nothing much to be said about Zhuge Cangqiong doing so ever since that time . However, we cannot eliminate another type of possibility, which is — The whole world knows that Zhuge Cangqiong is an extremely filial son who is forever wearing hempen clothing . Therefore, no matter what happens, no one would suspect a thing about him . But that would in turn lend him much convenience to carry out things in the dark . "
"Just like how the two elders have immediately eliminated Zhuge Cangqiong's suspicion now . From a certain perspective, this means that we've trusted him," Mo Lei'er went on, "When he is our enemy right now . "
"Trusting the enemy means that we've already brought ourselves onto the path of defeat . "
"Within Tianji City right now, other than the experts whom the Zhuge Clan had left behind to guard the household, there are practically no other Supreme Martial Artist experts . Yet at this point, a ninth-grade Supreme Martial Artist appeared… Even if it is eventually proven that it isn't Zhuge Cangqiong, he is the biggest suspect right now . How can we eliminate him so easily?"
Moon Breeze fell into silence .
Everyone nodded one by one . They had to admit that what Mo Lei'er had said was very true .
"Let's make the most of time and recuperate the next few days," said Yue Lingxue, " When your injuries have healed, I'll bring all of you out of Tianji City . "
He rolled his eyes and continued calmly, "As long as the news of our grave injuries did not spread, so long as they know that we're here, there's really nobody in the entire Nine Heavens who would dare to come and create trouble…"
Everyone nodded with a smile .
What Yue Lingxue had said was not an exaggeration indeed .
The Dharma Supreme had been beaten so badly that his whereabouts were unknown while Wu Juecheng was here and practically half-dead . Bu Liuqing had gone and Ning Tianya was heavily injured and had gone into reclusion, while the eight second grandmasters were all dead…
In the whole Nine Heavens, Moon Breeze was pretty much invincible…
Of course, under the premise that people didn't know that they were gravely injured .
Right at this moment, a furious voice rang out from outside . "F*ck! All of you are still alive but none of you actually care about me . I'm already minced meat and you still throw me out into the snow . Throwing me into the snow and that's about it, but you had to throw me right next to the toilets! Who's the one who did that?! Who?! Dong Wushang, was it you? …Get out here, the Sixth Master here will teach you a lesson or two!"
It was Rui Butong's voice .
Sixth Master Rui was super impressive now . Dying thrice within a day; the first time he died and came back to life, his cultivation jumped from fifth-grade Martial Saint to seventh-grade Martial Saint . The second time, he actually became a ninth-grade .
And now, after the third time where he was turned into minced meat, he came back bouncing up and down and was already a first-grade Supreme Martial Artist!
This kind of upgrading was truly unheard of .
The door curtains lifted and Sixth Master Rui walked in casually . The moment he saw the Moon Breeze couple, his aura immediately diminished considerably . Rubbing his hands, he said, "Hey, the two elders are here too, huh… Hehe…"
Yue Lingxue rolled his eyes . "I heard you were blaming us for ignoring you? And very dissatisfied?"
With an air of flattery, Rui Butong said, "Not at all, not at all . Did I say that? We're all in this together, sharing misfortunes and fortunes, helping each other in times of distress and going through life and death together . Why would I say something like that? Wouldn't that create rifts in our friendship? People who say such things are such bird eggs…"
Chu Yang, Dong Wushang and Mo Lei'er couldn't help but laugh .
This fellow really dared to talk .
But… from a certain point of view, he really was just a bird egg…
Yue Lingxue snorted . "Since you know that you're a bird egg, why don't you behave yourself and sit at the side?"
