Martial Peak

Editor and Proofreader: Leo of Zion Mountain

On the plain beside the mountain, Yue Xi, He Zao, He Miao, and Shen Tu, who were already nervous because of Gui Zu’s crazy laughter, suddenly went stiff and pale.

This was because Gui Zu’s voice had just sounded in their ears.

“What happened?” Lu Gui Chen hurriedly asked.

“Gui Zu summoned us…” Yue Xi couldn’t help but swallow.

The look Lu Gui Chen shot Yue Xi immediately changed, a hint of taking pleasure in other’s misfortune present, along with some sorrow and relief, but he no longer said anything.

“I was also summoned!” Shen Tu’s face paled as a deep sense of powerlessness filled his heart.

“I… as well!” Bi Ya rubbed her hands together nervously, her tender body shivering.

“What should we do, Master?” He Zao looked at Yue Xi nervously.

Yue Xi’s heart was also in chaos, not sure what to say for a while. When they first arrived here, there were more than a hundred of them, yet almost all of them had died at Gui Zu’s hands. Today, Gui Zu had actually summoned so many people of them at once though, who knows what his intentions were?

“It’s a blessing, not a curse…” Yue Xi smiled and gave up any plans to escape because, in front of an Origin King Realm master, there was no way to escape. “Come with me. If today… if today is the day of our deaths, Master will at least be able to accompany you on the road.”

She looked at He Zao and He Miao with great affection, secretly deciding to do whatever she could to protect her two Disciples.

Even if this was no different from a mantis trying to stop a cart, she wouldn’t hesitate.

The three of them began walking up the mountain while Shen Tu and Bi Ya exchanged a glance before sighing and keeping up.

Looking at their departing backs, a cultivator from Purple Star came up to Lu Gui Chen and said, “Senior, they…”

“They probably won’t return…” Lu Gui Chen sighed softly and smiled bitterly, “I don’t know I should feel glad or sad for them, but for now we’ve managed to escape, as for what will happen next time, I’m afraid…”

Saying so, he showed a dispirited look to his three remaining subordinates.

All of them thought that those who had been summoned were going to die.

Yang Kai waited in the heart of the mountain and after a while saw Shen Tu and the others walk in, gently nodded and was about to say hello when he suddenly wore a confused expression, “What’s wrong with you all? Why do you all look so depressed?”

The corner of Shen Tu’s mouth twitched as he somewhat unwillingly replied, “We were summoned by Gui Zu.”

Letting out a sigh, he reached out and gently patted Yang Kai’s shoulder, whispering quietly, “Brother, I’m afraid that there’s no way we can flee from this disaster. If you have the chance to escape from this place, please deliver a message to Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce. Tell my father I’m sorry for disappointing him, and that if I had only known this would happen, I wouldn’t have been so stubborn and disobedient.”
