Chapter 1093 – Meeting on a Narrow Road
Coincidentally, the leader of this team is not someone else, it is the three people of Broken Candle, Horned Star and Wooden Feather.
More than three months ago, Xu Chuniang followed their team, a trip out of the city.
Seeing Xu Chuniang come back alive, Shattered Candle and the other three could hardly believe their eyes as they exchanged a quick glance and transmitted their voices with divine sense.
“What’s going on, she’s actually still alive? Long Yu personally took action, there’s no reason why she would miss.”
“Long Yu disappeared, he didn’t even attend that important banquet a month ago, but she suddenly returned to the city, it can’t be that, Long Yu planted in her hands ……”
Mu Yu interrupted Horned Star’s conjecture, “Using my toes to think about it, I also know that this is clearly impossible, Long Yu’s strength, among the Heavenly Demon powerhouses in the entire Abyssal City, not to mention the top five, but at least it can be ranked in the top ten, right?
Even if the three of us join hands, we may not be his opponent, she’s an Earth Demon, Long Yu can crush her to death with a move of his finger, I’m more inclined to the idea that Long Yu encountered trouble in the void and couldn’t get out, which is what allowed her to retrieve a life.”
Horned Star thought about it, and also felt that Mu Yu’s statement was a bit more reliable, although he was not used to seeing that person Long Yu, his strength was recognized as strong, and an idle Extra-Terrestrial Heavenly Demon was not a match for him at all.
If not for his outstanding strength, he might not have been able to take the entire southern city area under his wing to amass a large fortune.
This Xu Chuniang, 80% was lucky to run fast and didn’t meet Long Yu, otherwise how could she have survived?
However, Xu Chuniang’s return alive was also a big problem for the three of them.
After all, when she was a temporary member of the Demon Hunting Team, they had agreed to let Long Yu take action against her.
Thinking of this, Shattered Candle, who was the captain, frowned slightly.
At first, she had never thought that the other party would have the day to return to the city alive.
If she went back to the city and publicized this matter in the city, it would be bad if she ruined the reputation of their Demon Hunting Team.
Horned Star and Wooden Feather also thought of this point, and their complexions became a bit ugly.
“What to do? She came back alive, what we did to him in the beginning, if it is shaken out, in the future, if our Demon Hunting Team wants to recruit again, I’m afraid that it won’t go smoothly …… Why don’t we just do it, and take advantage of the fact that she hasn’t entered the city yet at the moment, and do away with her?”
Broken Candle thought about it and rejected this proposal.
“No, this is too risky, don’t you realize that she is very wary of us? Moreover, this place is too close to the city gates, as long as she enters the city, we will be unable to do anything about her, instead, we will be completely offended.
And if we kill someone at the city gates, even if we get it, it will easily attract criticism afterwards.”
“Then what should we do? We can’t just watch her destroy our Demon Hunting Team’s reputation, think of a way to stabilize her first.”
Shattered Candle’s gaze moved slightly, revealing a hint of a smile towards Xu Chuniang, “You’re back, I originally felt uneasy in my heart, it’s great that you’ve returned alive.”
Said Shattered Candle, revealing a helpless look, “More than three months ago, you joined our Demon Hunting Team, we originally should have protected you, but nay, Lord Long Yu is too strong, those of us who are here, we’re simply no match for him. ……
You won’t blame me for not protecting you in the first place, right? It’s really because my heart is more than enough, I have to consider for the whole Demon Hunting Team, I can’t take everyone on because of you alone.”
Xu Chuniang looked at Shattered Candle, her eyes indifferent.
When Long Yu came to her, she used her double doll to get away, but she also borrowed the perception of the double doll to “see” the whole process of her conversation with Long Yu.
She was not surprised that Shattered Candle chose to side with Long Yu between offending her and Long Yu, but in order to curry favor with Long Yu, Shattered Candle had taken the initiative to make a gesture of goodwill to him, saying that he would personally deal with her.
It was only this offer that was rejected by Long Yu.
It was only a matter of her abandoning herself, but she should never have tried to take credit from Long Yu in this form. Seeing Xu Chuniang’s silence, Shattered Candle’s eyes deepened slightly, and there was displeasure in his heart.
If it wasn’t for the sake of the Demon Hunter, and this place was at the city gates, she wouldn’t have made the mistake of speaking nicely with this kind of Earth Demon.
“You can return to the city safely, it can be seen that your life should not be destroyed, this is your creation, but also you are lucky enough …… But those of us who have been exiled to the abyssal city, the precarious, will not be so lucky every time, is it?”
Broken Candle smiled towards Xu Chuniang, her tone meaningful, “If you want to live longer in this Abyssal City, you have to put on some smarts, I think you should understand what I mean, right?”
Xu Chunniang hooked up the corners of her lips and laughed silently, “You’re right.”
Shattered Candle got the answer he wanted and nodded in satisfaction, glancing at Horned Star.
Horned Star understood and took out a bulging bag, handing it to Xu Chunniang.
Shattered Candle opened his mouth at the right time to explain, “There are some magic crystals here, which is considered a bit of compensation from our Demon Hunting Team to you, so I hope that after you accept it, you won’t be concerned about the past, and don’t let me hear that there are bad rumors in the city.”
With these last words, she brought on a warning tone, and the threat contained therein was self-evident.
Xu Chuniang glanced at the bag in front of her, raised her eyebrows slightly, and nonchalantly took this so-called compensation over.
Magic crystals sent to the door, don’t want them for nothing.
She casually weighed the magic crystals in her hand, her smile deepening at the corners of her mouth.
“Shattered Candle Lord overstated, what words can be said, what words can not be said, I still distinguish clearly, after all, at that time in that situation, you abandon me is also for the overall situation, extenuating circumstances, how can I dare to blame you?”
Shattered Candle secretly frowned, she always felt that the other party had something in their words, like they were mocking themselves.
She didn’t flare up, she just nodded calmly, “It’s good that you understand, this matter ends here, it’s good for you and for us, we still have to go out of the city to hunt for demons, so I’ll leave you here.”
Xu Chuniang stood in place, watching Shattered Candle and his group leave the city until their silhouettes completely disappeared in the distance, only then did she retract her gaze, entering the city against all kinds of prying eyes near the city gates.
As for Shattered Candle and his party, the atmosphere was somewhat subdued for a long time after they left the city.
In the end, it was the sullen Horned Star that broke the silence.
“Since she received the magic crystals, she shouldn’t be talking nonsense, right?”
“Hard to say.”
Mu Yu shook his head, “If it were me, having encountered such a thing, my heart would inevitably be unwilling, and even if I couldn’t pick things apart due to my strength, I would still harbor a grudge.”
Shattered Candle’s attitude was cold, “She collected the magic crystals and acted out that play with me outside the city gates, so it is evident that she is a sensible one, and she should not talk nonsense again.
However, this person living is after all a hidden danger, if you have the chance, you still have to deal with it cleanly.”
Horned Star and Wooden Feather glanced at each other, acquiescing to Shattered Candle’s words.
Anyway, dealing with an Earth Demon was not a laborious task for them.
All that was needed was to send two people to keep an eye on the north city gate, and when she left the city, it would be enough to follow her. (End of Chapter)
