Chapter 181 Chaos (1)
While Yu Zhangming, who had slain the Unkillable Demon, was hailed as the Plum Blossom Heavenly Sword, Gu Yangjie couldn’t lift his head.
He simply walked forward in silence.
Thud, thud.
On the way back to Huashan Sect, Gu Yangjie couldn’t bring himself to speak to Yu Zhangming.
No, he didn’t.
The change that had appeared in Yu Zhangming after the sudden transfer of spiritual energy frightened Gu Yangjie.
“Are you truly my disciple?”
The question he had asked just days ago choked the breath from Gu Yangjie.
He should have answered with his usual brazen “Yes,” but Gu Yangjie couldn’t.
His mind went blank, his lips instantly parched.
Only after that process could Gu Yangjie reply.
“If it’s not me standing here, then who else could it be?”
“…Right, that’s right.”
Yu Zhangming wore his usual smile. But he couldn’t hide the confusion seeping into one corner of his face.
If only he hadn’t seen that, his mind might have been at ease.
Gu Yangjie glared at the bound Ma Yi, as if venting his frustration.
-What trickery did you pull?
-Even if you’re a sorcerer of the heavens, do you think you could interfere with the mind of a peak master from such a distance?
Ma Yi watched the spiritual energy rippling around Yu Zhangming and let out a faint chuckle.
-Truly an astonishing soul… How he can endure that. Had he not been struck at the acupoint, I would have spared no praise.
At those words, Gu Yangji’s expression darkened completely.
