Chapter 254 To Obey or Not?
"Junior sister, I don't think these people are righteous people. You should leave first. With you here, our sect still has hope!" The older male cultivator said to the woman in the veil with a low voice and a wary expression.
The woman in the light veil frowned slightly as her gaze swept over Kongming. Her tightly clenched red lips loosened slightly, and though her brows were furrowed, they revealed a stubbornness.
"Senior brother, revitalizing the sect is not something I can do alone. Even if I could, what would be the point if I were the only one left?"
The woman in the light veil had a clear and crisp voice that also revealed her decisiveness.
After the Three Fiends left, Kongming seemed to remember the few people he had left standing aside.
He walked slowly toward the group of women whose faces were veiled by light gauze.
The people beside the woman in the light veil instinctively gripped their magical weapons, their eyes filled with wariness.
The older male cultivator stepped aside to shield the woman in the light veil, staring directly at Kongming. Although he tried to appear calm, his slightly trembling body betrayed his inner tension.
The woman in the light veil pushed aside the older male cultivator, raised her head, and looked directly into Kongming's eyes. There was no fear in her eyes, only inquiry and doubt.
For a fleeting moment, the person before me seemed to overlap with the figure from my memory, but upon closer inspection, the two were completely different in both temperament and demeanor.
"Thank you fellow Taoist for helping me!"
After speaking, the woman in the light veil gently shook her head, as if trying to shake off that inexplicable daze. Then she bowed slightly and gave a graceful bow to Kongming.
Kongming gazed at the woman in the pure white gauze dress dancing lightly in the wind. The veil on her face was like mist, faintly outlining her exquisite beauty. A complex emotion welled up in his heart.
Why did you come here?
The woman in the light veil was slightly taken aback by Kongming's abrupt question, but quickly regained her composure and replied, "I am just a rogue cultivator, is it strange that I came here?"
Clearly, she misunderstood Kongming's meaning.
However, Kongming did not press further. He simply shook his head slightly, sighed softly as if it were nothing, and said, "In that case, this secret realm is fraught with danger. From now on, you will stay by my side!"
Upon hearing this, the group of women in light gauze felt their hearts sink to the bottom.
The older male cultivator's expression darkened. He took a step forward and looked directly at Kongming, saying, "What do you mean by that, fellow Daoist? Although you have saved my life, I cannot comply with such a request."
The older male cultivator paused for a moment, then said, "Although you are incredibly strong, can you really be stronger than the Ji family? I'm afraid even Young Master Wushuang wouldn't tolerate you!"
Snapped……
Suddenly, a loud slap rang out.
Kongming raised his hand and slapped the older male cultivator, sending him flying several feet away.
His eyes instantly turned icy cold as he said in a chilling tone, "You think that by bringing up Ji Wushuang, I will be wary? My actions are not subject to the control of others!"
"you……"
The older male cultivator's face flushed red, but the slap left him dizzy and disoriented. He staggered and almost fell to the ground again, unable to utter a complete sentence for a moment.
"What do you mean, 'you'? It's her good fortune that my brother has taken a liking to this fairy. That peerless young master will be dealt with by my brother sooner or later!"
Pigsy scurried over to flatter Kongming, after all, he had his eye on many of the treasures left behind by the Three Demons of the Demonic Realm.
Then he scratched his head, revealing a shameless expression that was even more unsightly than crying, and whispered to Kongming, "Brother, I've made the decision, but our little princess still has to be the eldest. I'll give her a good talking-to when we get back!"
Upon hearing this, Kongming's gaze shot towards Zhu Ganglie like a sharp blade.
Zhu Ganglie's smile froze instantly, almost revealing his true colors. He then muttered something, lowered his head, and retreated to Zhao Yun's side.
The woman in the light veil and the others were completely astonished, never expecting Kongming to suddenly attack them!
"Fellow Daoist, isn't this a bit too domineering?" the woman in the light veil questioned with some anger.
"To obey or not to obey?" Kongming asked expressionlessly, his eyes sweeping across everyone's faces.
What if I say no?
The woman in the light veil stared directly at Kongming. Although her face was obscured, one could sense the icy coldness of her pretty face.
