Chapter 193 - Pay With Blood
Liang Hao, Liu Hongyi and the other Iridescent Clouds Palace cultivators knelt on the ground in shivers. They looked at Su Zimo with fear as sweat filled their palms.
Shen Mengqi stood rooted to the spot and stared blankly at Xu You who died with grievances on the ground with disbelief in her eyes.
Everything had happened too suddenly and Shen Mengqi’s head felt as though it had exploded, buzzing chaotically.
“Su Zimo, h-how dare he?”
“Is he crazy?”
“Did he not think about the consequences?”
Demoness Ji narrowed her gaze and licked her lips.
To be fair, she was the most calm of the people present.
With that, she walked over to Liang Hao and Liu Hongyi, wanting to help them up.
Both of them eyed Su Zimo warily. Seeing that the latter was expressionless and did not object, they endured the pain and stood up.
The group from Iridescent Clouds Palace supported one another and left the King of Yan’s chamber.
A breeze brushed past them and they felt a chill. Unknowingly, all of them had broken out in cold sweat.
It was only when they walked out the door that everyone heaved a sigh of relief – they felt as though they had survived a disaster!
Even though they were all Foundation Establishment Cultivators, for some reason, all of them felt a tightness in their chest against Su Zimo. It was as though there was a menacing pressure that prevented them from breathing.
Shen Mengqi said to everyone from Iridescent Clouds Palace in a low voice, “Leave the palace first. I’ll be right after.”
“Senior Sister Shen, don’t… don’t fight with that Su Zimo anymore? What if… what if…” Liu Hongyi’s heart skipped a beat as he hurried to persuade her.
Everyone else nodded in agreement with fright in their eyes.
It would be fine if Shen Mengqi won. But, if she lost, they were worried that they would be implicated and lose their lives here as well!
“Senior Sister Shen, let him off this time. There will be many opportunities to take his life in the future!” Another person tried to persuade while encouraging Shen Mengqi at the same time.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be right back. I won’t fight with him,” Shen Mengqi let out a reassuring smile and turned back.
Coming in front of Su Zimo, Shen Mengqi stared at him and said coldly, “Come out. I have some things to say to you.”
With that, Shen Mengqi turned and walked out.
Shen Mengqi’s tone made Su Zimo frown.
“What’s the matter that’s so mysterious that you have to hide it from me?” Demoness Ji’s eyes darted between Su Zimo and Shen Mengqi as she asked meaningfully.
Clang! Clang!
Right then, Su Zimo knocked his fingers on the table.
“If you have anything, you can say it here.”
Su Zimo did not get up as he lowered his eyes and said calmly.
Shen Mengqi stopped in her tracks, back facing Su Zimo. Her expression changed continuously as she grit her teeth and turned around slowly.
