Chapter 63: Entering the City (1/2)
They even wanted to hang him on the city gate to be dried and cured. How could Jiang Li let them off?
Gulp ~ Gulp ~
The sounds of gulping rose and fell. Jiang Li's ruthlessness allowed these outer sect disciples who originally looked down on him to quickly understand one thing—this new person was not someone to be trifled with.
”Junior Brother Jiang Li, forgive others when possible. We're all fellow disciples of the same sect. Isn't Junior Brother's actions a little too excessive?”
The three kneeling people bit their fingers and were about to write when suddenly, another person in the crowd stood up.
That person looked very honest, but the conceit in his eyes made people dislike him.
”Senior Brother, you are?”
Jiang Li's expression was gentle, but it was obvious that the gentleness he put on was not so perfect. It only made people feel even more terrified.
”My name is Guo An. I'm a few years older than you. Everyone in the outer sect calls me Eldest Senior Brother!”
As Guo An spoke, he even displayed his late-stage Qi Refinement cultivation. Judging from his aura, he was indeed much stronger than the guy earlier.
But this person… was not only conceited, he was obviously narcissistic. Who would say that about themselves?
If he found a lackey with a loud voice to specially praise him from the side, it would not be so awkward.
”Oh? I've only heard that the Eldest Senior Brother of the sect, Chu Yunxuan, is the best amongst his peers. He's peerlessly talented and wise!”
”I didn't expect that there would be a Eldest Senior Brother in the outer sect as well. I'm sorry for my disrespect!”
It was unknown if Jiang Li was praising or mocking him, but in short, Guo An felt uncomfortable listening to him.
”Then, Outer Sect's Eldest Senior Brother, why didn't you, the Outer Sect's Eldest Senior Brother, come out to uphold justice for me when I was bullied by the five of them?”
Jiang Li calling him 'Outer Sect's Eldest Senior Brother' multiple times was completely intentional, but Guo An did not dare to really refute him on this point.
If he, Guo An, really dared to remove the outer sect in the title, he would be calling himself the Eldest Senior Brother of the Scripture Storage Valley.
Not to mention whether Chu Yunxuan would have any objections, none of the inner sect disciples would forgive him.
”Junior Brother has already killed two people in a row. Your mistake has already been made. If you still don't stop…”
”If the sect elders find out, I'm afraid Junior Brother will have to make a trip to the Law Enforcement Hall.”
Gasp…! These two sentences immediately made Jiang Li furious.
Such people actually existed, they actually appeared in front of him!
When it came to key questions, he would pretend not to hear them and not answer them directly. Instead, he would only say what he wanted others to hear.
He did not dare to really make a move against Jiang Li. This time, he even dared to use the sect as his excuse.
”Do the three of you want to die?!”
Jiang Li did not speak to him anymore. He tightened his grip on the necks of the three people on the ground, forcing them to quickly sign.
The three of them still wanted to make a final struggle and wait for that ”Outer Sect's Eldest Senior Brother” to stand up for them.
However, Guo An stood on the spot, not moving at all while he muttered nonsense to Jiang Li.
It was not until Jiang Li squeezed their necks that they signed the contract helplessly.
”Carry those two guys and follow me!”
Jiang Li stood up and directly walked towards the city gate. The outer sect disciples that were between him and Cloud Stream City all moved aside.
The three people on the ground were unwilling, but the contract had been signed. They did not even have the chance to resist.
They could only carry the corpses of his former companions and follow Jiang Li into the city.
...
”A new disciple is actually so ruthless!”
”He directly killed two of his fellow disciples! He's simply lawless!”
