Chapter 1773: Chapter 1773: I’m Quite Fearful When I See Him

Such incidents had occurred before.

The Righteous Sects would claim they wanted nothing to do with those from the Evil Faction, but they would still go to extreme lengths to enter the Hundred Legs Jade Space, solely for their own benefit.

He wondered if those three were also aiming to enter the Hundred Legs Jade Space by deliberately befriending Xie Qi on the way.

Poor Xie Qi was treating those three with the utmost respect, even more so than he treated his filial son, which he found amusing to think about.

“When have you ever seen the current sect master give face to anyone?”

The eyes of the Sect Master of the Thousands of Demons Sect suddenly became fierce, his voice chilling.

“If they want to enter the Hundred-Legged Jade Space just like that, let them come in alive but leave as corpses! The territory of my Thousands of Demons Sect is not somewhere they can come and go as they please.”

Upon hearing this, Wan Yan looked up at him, said nothing further.

He knew his father had a heart harder than stone, and if he spoke out of line, he likely wouldn’t reap any benefits.

Better stay silent and let his father make all the decisions.

As for the foolish Xie Qi, well, he could fend for himself. Being used by a few strangers was his own stupidity; Wan Yan wouldn’t waste his efforts saving such an idiot.

Still, it was one thing for Xie Qi to be manipulated by strangers, but why did the fifth elder and the Ninth Elder from the Evil Sect show such high respect to those two people?

Who exactly were those two, capable of even deceiving their discerning eyes?

“Wan Yan asks to be excused.”

He decided to leave first and keep an eye on those three afterward.

…

That night, the Thousands of Demons Sect organized a banquet to welcome Xie Qi, the fifth elder, and the Ninth Elder.

Xie Qi eagerly came to invite Qian Jiyun and the other two, but Wan Yu refused him.

Wan Yu couldn’t understand whether Xie Qi was truly foolish or just pretending. The place where they stayed was surrounded by many people from the Thousands of Demons Sect. Did Xie Qi really think they were there to attend to the daily needs of the guests?

If they went out at this time, it would only draw more attention from the people of the Thousands of Demons Sect.

“You’re really not going? I wanted to introduce you to the Sect Master of the Thousands of Demons Sect. You don’t know, that old guy… cough cough.”

As soon as he mentioned the Sect Master of the Thousands of Demons Sect, Xie Qi coughed lightly.

He felt that while on another’s turf, it was better not to speak ill of them, lest it bring trouble upon him.

“Anyway, whenever I see him, I feel quite apprehensive,” he concluded.

Wan Yu raised an eyebrow.

Apprehensive indeed, given how ghastly the man looked.

If Wan Yu wasn’t completely certain he was the son of the Sect Master of the Thousands of Demons Sect, he couldn’t imagine how he ended up with such an unsightly father.

“Young Sect Master Xie, you better go yourself, so as not to keep the Sect Master of the Thousands of Demons Sect waiting,” he reminded him.

That old scoundrel was always the least punctual of all, yet he despised it when others were late. One word out of place and he was ready to fight and kill.

In reality, Wan Yu knew it was just an excuse for the Sect Master to kill someone and wipe out an opposing force.

“Right, right.”

Xie Qi nodded repeatedly, aware that the Sect Master of the Thousands of Demons Sect disliked waiting.

“You are really not going?”

It was such a pity, for although the Sect Master of the Thousands of Demons Sect had a loathsome face, being on good terms with him was still beneficial.

“My lords really do not wish to go.”

Wan Yu continued to shake his head, then, following Qian Jiyun’s instructions, he took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Xie Qi.
