Chapter 1769: Chapter 1769: It’s Really My Fault

“It’s not that I’m boasting, but I can even take you all into the Hundred Legs Jade Space together. Do you want to go?” While everyone was pondering, Xie Qi spoke up again.

Upon hearing his words, the fifth elder twitched at the corner of his mouth.

The Sect Master of the Thousands of Demons Sect had said that only three people from their Evil Sect were allowed entry. Had their young master just left the two of them out, or what?

Although entering the Hundred Legs Jade Space was not a big deal for them, as there would be future opportunities, they needed to go in to protect this ancestor. What if an accident befell him? Wouldn’t the Sect Master devour them alive?

“Young Sect Master, they still have other matters to attend to,” the fifth elder tried to keep his voice as low as possible, reminding Xie Qi by his ear.

He was scared, afraid of ending up like the Ninth Elder, who after a casual remark, was so frightened he nearly lost his wits. Wouldn’t that mean he’d lose face completely?

Yet, even though he had spoken softly, he could still feel a faint oppressive aura emanating from Qian Jiyun.

He took a quiet breath and stealthily took two steps back.

He truly couldn’t afford to provoke these three. If it had been anyone else daring to treat a fifth elder of their Demon Sect like this, he’d have torn that person to pieces.

But now, he was powerless and had to avoid them.

“Right, I’d forgotten that you all have other matters to address. We can only have a look to quench our thirst for it,” Xie Qi said with some regret after hearing the reminder from the fifth elder.

He himself had never entered the Hundred Legs Jade Space either. He’d only heard from his father that there were many treasures inside, and that obtaining just one of them could make one wealthy for a good half of their life.

So many people in the Qianyuan Plane wanted to enter the Hundred Legs Jade Space, but alas, the Hundred-Legged Jade had always been under the control of the Sect Master of the Thousands of Demons Sect, unobtainable to anyone else.

That’s why the Thousands of Demons Sect had grown increasingly powerful in the Qianyuan Plane, and the plane itself was becoming more and more skewed because it was under the control of the Thousand-Legged Jade. It seemed to be trending toward becoming a Demon Plane.

…

Finally, after persistent persuasion from Xie Qi, Qian Jiyun and his two companions followed him up to the Thousands of Demons Sect.

The people of the Thousands of Demons Sect all knew Wan Yu, so he had disguised himself from the start. Naturally, the people of the Thousands of Demons Sect couldn’t recognize him. Along the way, Xie Qi kept on introducing the Thousands of Demons Sect.

When they arrived at the grand hall of the Thousands of Demons Sect, the Young Sect Master of the Thousands of Demons Sect was already there to greet them, accompanied by two of the sect’s elders.

That was the protocol — they couldn’t have a Young Sect Master and two elders from the Evil Sect come over and be received by the Sect Master of the Thousands of Demons Sect.

That would be self-deprecation, which was unacceptable.

“Brother Yan, I’m truly sorry for having you wait here for us, this is my fault,” said Xie Qi with a chuckle as he approached Wan Yan, greeting him with a salute.

Although he was spoiled by the Sect Master of the Evil Sect, he knew to observe some proprieties at crucial moments.

Now that they wanted to enter the Hundred Legs Jade Space of the Thousands of Demons Sect, they naturally had to bow their heads first. They couldn’t puff up their own importance too much, putting the people of the Thousands of Demons Sect in an awkward position.

However, he still stealthily glanced down at the pitch-black ring on his finger.

It was a ring capable of storing many items, given to him secretly by his father. Not even the two elders knew about it. Once inside the Hundred Legs Jade Space, he could collect even more items without the people of the Thousands of Demons Sect noticing.
