Chapter 92 — Dead End
劍問蒼天 · Page 7 of 7
On the other side of the marsh, gazing at the calm expanse before them, Ming Li and the other two stood abreast, three ranks of followers at their backs, each keeping to their own group, yet facing one another, a faint wariness in the air.
Qin Wujiu suddenly gave a sigh and said, "Uncle-Master Yu Yangzi was a hero all his life. Now that he has been reduced to this Dead Marsh, one might say he died where he belonged?"
Ming Li was silent. Jin Pingyue smiled faintly and said nothing either.
Qin Wujiu did not mind. He smiled and said, "Well then, what do you two intend to do next?"
Jin Pingyue glanced at him, then suddenly turned and said as she walked away, "The great matter is finished. Naturally it is time to part ways!"
Qin Wujiu watched her retreating figure and called out loudly, "Oh? Does the fairy mean to return and report to her superiors?"
Jin Pingyue did not waste more words, only smiled calmly. Qin Wujiu went on at once, "Then I shall await the fairy within the Inner Marsh. When the time comes, I must beg Fairy Jin to show me mercy!"
Whether Jin Pingyue heard him or not, she walked on without a backward glance, and the disciples of the Soul-Bewitching Sect followed her and dispersed as well.
Ming Li glanced at Qin Wujiu, his gaze cold, then turned and walked back into the ranks of the Hell King Sect. Qin Wujiu stood where he was, smiling without a word, but his gaze too gradually turned cold.
Within the Dead Marsh, the sky grew ever more overcast, thick with dark clouds, as though an even greater storm were about to break.
