These words confused Ling Chuxi and the others. The fights between the sects were even more aggressive than the ones between the various countries on the mainland? Just how fierce were those battles?
It was clear that the reestablishment of the Golden Pill Sect was not going to be as easy as they thought.
“However, with that assassin’s cultivation, why expend so much effort to kill a defenseless child?” Ling Yichen asked after a while.
The assassin earlier had the cultivation of the realm of True Essence, and even Ling Yichen wasn’t confident he could walk away unharmed if he had taken him on. If he really wanted to kill that little child, why not just directly attack him?
“I think it is because he knew that Duan Qingchen was nearby. Did you notice the pendant hanging around the little boy’s neck? It’s called the Ink Jade Crystal. Even among the various sects, it is a rarely seen treasure. It is said to be able to trigger an alarm and send a message, so if the assassin had a murderous intent, the Ink Jade Crystal would have been able to sense it. There is certainly the same Ink Jade Crystal on Duan Qingchen’s body as well, so he would have been able to feel it at the same time too. The assassin was obviously unwilling to reveal his identity.
“If the two of you did not make a move, perhaps he would have succeeded. Why take the risk? As for his attack later on, maybe he was worried that he would not have any more chances once the Duan family arrived, so he could only take the risk and attack,” Jiang Wuhen explained.
“What if we hadn’t stopped the assassination?” Ling Chuxi asked.
“You’ve already seen Duan Qingchen’s cultivation. Even if you both did not stop him, do you really think that the assassin would have succeeded? Also, do you think that the little boy isn’t capable of protecting himself?” Jiang Wuhen smiled and said, “Just now, you experienced a feeling as if space and time had stopped; that is said to be a special ability that the descendants of the Duan family have. It could also be considered a kind of innate talent that has been passed on for generations. Once this kind of talent is awakened, using the Celestial cultivation method is doubly effective. Even if he did not cultivate using the Celestial cultivation method, just based on this innate talent alone, he would have been able to drag the battle on until Duan Qingchen arrived.”
“Looks like we really did an unnecessary thing.” Ling Chuxi chuckled. Even if she and Lan Xinyu weren’t there earlier, with Duan Qingchen’s cultivation, even if he could not annihilate the assassin on the spot, he also would not have given him any chance to attack.
“I wouldn’t say that. At the very least, you all left a good impression on that old man, which might be beneficial in the future. However, it is a pity that you all did not accept the token of the Celestial Sect. Although its grade is a little low, you could have used it to scare ordinary people,” Jiang Wuhen said regretfully.
That low-grade token of the Celestial Sect was definitely not comparable to the token of an inner disciple of the Flowing Clouds Sect. If she wanted to scare someone, the token Big Brother gave her would be of better use. Ling Chuxi smiled in amusement, but did not say anything.
“Let’s go, it’s time to return. If we don’t get back soon, Elder Su will be worried,” Ling Chuxi told them.
The others agreed, and they all headed back together.
“Don’t you have anything to ask me?” Jiang Wuhen looked at Baili Han and Lan Xinyu in surprise. His true identity was already known by Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen, but Baili Han and Lan Xinyu had still been kept in the dark. Even though he had revealed so much, they still did not seem to be suspicious of him, looking at him as they normally did.
“Ask what?” Baili Han looked at Jiang Wuhen, perplexed. Didn’t they already get the answers to all the questions they had? What more was there to ask about?
