Chapter 276 - Unforeseen Situation
“Junior Sister Xiaoning is going to win!”
“Yes, this will count towards improving Azure Frost Elixir Workshop’s reputation as well.”
Within the crowd, a couple of disciples from Azure Frost Elixir Workshop discussed softly with excited expressions.
“It’s just a Grade 2 Elixir. Even if she wins this, what does this have to do with our reputation? The reputation of Azure Frost Elixir Workshop has been built up over thousands of years. What has it got to do with her!”
The person who spoke was a female cultivator in a long, yellow dress. She had a voluptuous figure and her chin was slightly raised, revealing her neck that was slender and fair as a swan’s with a haughty expression.
It was obvious that the yellow-dressed woman held a high position in Azure Frost Elixir Workshop as the few cultivators who were discussing earlier shut up immediately in fear after hearing her speak.
“Senior Sister Yang is absolutely right.”
A disciple from Azure Frost Elixir Workshop replied with a smile.
Furthermore, he had not expected that cultivators of True Fire Elixir Workshop would dare command their spirit lion to attack someone in front of everyone in the capital!
Looking at Xiaoning who was standing on the spot tearfully, the killing intent in Su Zimo’s heart surged and it was almost impossible to contain!
Nian Qi, who was standing beside him, was the first to notice it.
She felt an unprecedented sense of trepidation coming from Su Zimo.
Glancing askance, Nian Qi’s heart skipped a beat when she caught sight of Su Zimo’s gaze.
She had witnessed that terrifying gaze one other time.
That was the same gaze that Su Zimo had during that night half a year ago when he was faced against two Golden Cores.
It was cold, indifferent and calm like a sea of extermination!
Nian Qi pondered for a moment before leaving the crowd silently. She looked around and sped off to somewhere nearby.
…
When faced with such an unforeseen situation, Su Zimo did not appear right away. Instead, he was calm and looked on coldly.
He was waiting…
Waiting for the reaction from both factions.
At this moment, the ones who should have the biggest reaction should be the Scarlet Vulture guards who were patrolling and Azure Frost Elixir Workshop that Xiaoning was from.
However, Su Zimo was disappointed.
He personally witnessed the gazes of two Scarlet Vulture guards staring at this place. Lingering shortly, they chose to turn their heads away and pretend as though they did not see anything!
“True Fire Elixir Workshop is really too much!”
“That’s right! It’s obvious that the spirit lion was deliberately causing trouble but they’re pretending to be innocent?”
Among the crowd, a cultivator frowned and asked, “The Scarlet Vulture guards are nearby. They seem to have witnessed everything, why aren’t they rushing here yet?”
“I think you don’t know, right?”
An elderly man said, “It’s said that the commander of the Scarlet Vulture guards, the Golden Core with the nickname of Bald Vulture, once stayed for a period of time in True Fire Sect and as such is considered as half a disciple of theirs. Since these Scarlet Vulture guards are his underlings, they’ll usually give True Fire Sect some face.”
“Furthermore, this matter is not a big deal. Even if anyone chooses to pursue it further, it’ll most likely go unresolved.”
“Why do you say that?”
“The spirit lion came out to create trouble by knocking the Elixir Furnace away. If He Xing and the others insist that they failed to control it properly and the spirit lion did it on its own accord, what can anyone do to them?”
