Chapter 34: Coming After My Disciple in the Middle of the Night?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The moonlight flowed down like water in the outskirts of Ancient Moon City.

In the dense and deep forest, a black figure was rapidly racing through the trees. It was Shangguan Qingyun!

The moonlight fell on his face, and one could clearly see his deathly pale face, as well as the panic in his eyes.

Rumble!

Shangguan Qingyun was dashing through the forest.

All of a sudden, a big tree in front of him fell without warning, blocking his way.

His figure abruptly came to a halt, and his expression instantly became extremely grave.

“Shangguan Qingyun, why are you trying so hard to escape? It’s destined that you won’t be able to escape from us!”

Along with this cold and mocking voice, a few figures appeared in front of him.

These men, who were in their thirties or forties, looked at Shangguan Qingyun indifferently with a sneer on their lips.

Upon seeing these people, Shangguan Qingyun’s already deathly pale face instantly turned extremely pale, and his eyes were filled with despair.

This was because he had some impression of the people in front of him. All of them were in the Core Formation Realm!

Among them, there was even one who had been in the Core Formation Realm for a long time and had reached perfection in the Core Formation Realm!

Under such circumstances, let alone himself who was merely a Qi Meditation Realm cultivator whose meridians had been completely severed, even if another Core Formation Realm cultivator who had reached perfection were to come, they probably wouldn’t be able to escape.

He knew that such pursuers were no different from an inescapable net.

Escape? That was just a wishful thought!

However, he quickly recovered his calm expression.

If he died, so be it. He wouldn’t lose his dignity in front of these people.

Shangguan Qingyun revealed a faint smile and said mockingly, “I didn’t expect it to be you guys. You guys do think highly of me. To think that you would be willing to use such a force to deal with someone in the Qi Meditation Realm like me. Is it because I gave you guys too much of a headache? Or is it because your so-called elite disciples are just a bunch of trash?”

“How dare you!”

Hearing his sarcastic words, the pursuers were instantly enraged.

Shangguan Qingyun had indeed given them quite a headache. They had spent a lot of effort to finally stop him.

If it was just any one of them, they might not be able to catch him.

But the truth was one thing, and the truth being said was another.

At the very least, these words should not have been said by this person who was merely in the Qi Meditation Realm!

All of them felt humiliated and flew into a rage.

“Shangguan Qingyun, you can only try to talk your way out of your predicament now. Since you’ve fallen into our hands today, death will be inevitable. No matter how eloquent you are, you will never escape!”

“I think you guys are quite talkative. Aren’t you afraid that your tongue will fall off from all the bragging?” Shangguan Qingyun refused to show weakness.

“You!” With this, one of the Core Formation cultivators at the middle-stage couldn’t hold his anger in any longer.

All of a sudden, he dashed towards Shangguan Qingyun. At the same time, he said in a vicious voice, “Shangguan Qingyun, go to hell!”

The vast spiritual power of the Core Formation Realm instantly engulfed the large area.

Shangguan Qingyun could feel his legs go jelly, and he struggled to resist kneeling.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t dodge the coming attack.

Sure enough, he had just circulated his spiritual energy when the person’s two big palms hit his chest.

Shangguan Qingyun did not have any power to resist at all. His entire person was instantly sent flying and blood spewed out of his mouth.

But that person did not stop. With a leap, he arrived in front of Shangguan Qingyun.

Then, he stepped on him!

That person immediately revealed a smug smile and mocked, “Yo yo, isn’t this the genius who used to be high and mighty? Why are you so down and out now? I wonder how it feels to be stepped on by someone. Doesn’t it suit you very well?”

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Qingyun was furious.

As such, his breathing became chaotic, and he vomited another mouthful of blood.

“Haha!” That person was overjoyed and wanted to continue mocking him.

However, the Core Formation Realm cultivator who had reached perfection suddenly said, “Alright, let’s send him on his way quickly. Don’t delay any longer. If anything unexpected happens, neither of us can bear the consequences.”

When that person heard this, although he was quite unwilling, he couldn’t refute it and could only nod.

Then, he said coldly to Shangguan Qingyun, “Kid, it’s all over. The beheading will only take a second!”

As he said this, he pulled out a saber tied to his waist.

The bright light of the saber looked extremely cold under the moonlight.

Shangguan Qingyun subconsciously closed his eyes.

He wondered, was it all over just like that?

In his next life, he hoped that he could peacefully be an ordinary person, Shangguan Qingyun thought bitterly in his heart.

At this critical moment, a voice broke the silence of the night, “Did you ask me when you tried to make a move against my disciple?”

“Who is it?” The man’s saber froze in mid-air as he quickly looked in the direction of the voice and shouted sternly.

The pursuers became alert and carefully looked around.

Shangguan Qingyun, who was already in despair, abruptly widened his eyes in disbelief.

Following that, Jiang Yiming’s figure slowly walked out of the darkness.

Everyone couldn’t help but look at each other when they saw this. They could see the astonishment in each other’s eyes.

This was because none of them could see through Jiang Yiming’s cultivation level, and they hadn’t even sensed that he was hiding in the dark.

For a moment, shock, anger, and fear interweaved in their hearts.

“Who are you?” The cultivator who had reached perfection in the Core Formation Realm quickly regained his composure and asked coldly.

Jiang Yiming snorted and said, “You don’t have to care about who I am, but as long as I’m here, you absolutely can’t hurt my disciple.”

“He’s your disciple?”

Everyone seemed to be in disbelief.

Only then did Shangguan Qingyun come to his senses and hurriedly say to Jiang Yiming, “I’m not your disciple, and there’s no relationship between you and me. Don’t get involved in my affairs. These things are not something you can solve.”

Jiang Yiming knew that he meant well, but still calmly shook his head and smiled, “My disciple is being bullied, and if I don’t take action as the Master, people will take me as laughing stock.”

“Why do you insist on taking me in as your disciple?” Shangguan Qingyun was really anxious, and his words were fast, “Don’t you understand? I’m in huge trouble! If I become your disciple, I’m afraid you’ll regret it!”

Jiang Yiming finally forced out Shangguan Qingyun’s heartfelt words. He was delighted and wanted to comfort him.

After listening to their conversation, the pursuers understood that there must be some relationship between the two of them.

How could they not realize that Shangguan Qingyun was protecting this person, and this person also valued Shangguan Qingyun?

They didn’t know what the relationship between the two was, but there must be a relationship between them.

In that case, they would rather kill him by mistake than let him go!

Thus, the cultivator who had reached perfection in the Core Formation Realm suddenly said, “Since you said that he is your disciple, then the two of you should die together!”

As soon as he finished saying this, the few people beside him suddenly attacked.

Vast amounts of spiritual energy instantly blasted towards Jiang Yiming.
