Chapter 1797: Chapter 1797: We Can’t Afford to Offend Them

“It’s nothing, just random thoughts.”

Xie Qi cheerfully shook his head at the fifth elder.

Such thoughts are better left unsaid, lest they bring trouble upon oneself. Even if they were true, he decided to feign ignorance.

“Fifth Elder, Ninth Elder, tomorrow is the day the Hundred Legs Jade Space opens. We need to be prepared for any eventuality. Do you have any plans?” he asked.

“About that…”

When it came to this matter, the two elders indeed had something to say.

Could they still enter the Hundred Legs Jade Space? They hoped things were not as they feared.

“Young Sect Master, can we really not enter the Hundred Legs Jade Space anymore?” This time their outing was specifically for the treasures within the Hundred Legs Jade Space. If they couldn’t get in, it would have been a wasted trip.

For the sake of an inter-plane traveler, were they really going to forsake the treasures inside the Hundred Legs Jade Space?

“How about we…”

“Shut up!”

Without a second thought, Xie Qi knew what he was going to say and immediately rebuked him.

“Fifth Elder, Ninth Elder, dismiss the thoughts in your heads. We can afford to offend the Thousands of Demons Sect, but inter-plane travelers, they are not ones we can afford to provoke,” he admonished.

In fact, he had no desire to offend Qian Jiyun, the inter-plane traveler, let alone Qian Jiyun’s wife, who was an alchemist of Ninth Grade or higher.

“But if we truly offend the Thousands of Demons Sect, we will find it hard to stand firm in the Qianyuan Plane in the future,” the ninth elder reminded.

Xie Qi was not the least bit worried about this, and even the fifth elder’s face showed no concern.

Even if Qian Jiyun really decided to act against the Thousands of Demons Sect, could the Thousands of Demons Sect, after being interfered with by an inter-plane traveler, still compare to their Evil Sect?

Forget about the Hundred Legs Jade Space. If the inter-plane traveler really did stir trouble within the Thousands of Demons Sect, could they still hold onto the Hundred Legs Jade Space then?

And if Qian Jiyun did not come for the Hundred Legs Jade Space, they didn’t have to worry about offending the Thousands of Demons Sect, right?

“Ninth Elder, the young master has everything under control. You just need to prepare the retreat route. Moreover, if it really comes to that, we will need to take Young Master Qian and the others with us.”

“What?”

It wasn’t just the ninth elder who was startled; even the fifth elder, who was usually very good at masking his emotions, was taken aback.

Did their Young Sect Master specifically want to let the Thousands of Demons Sect know that their Evil Sect was helping outsiders to fight them? Did he wish to thoroughly settle the score?

They wanted to advise him, but didn’t know where to start. The situation had already reached this point, and if they didn’t kick the Thousands of Demons Sect when they were down, they too would be categorized as siding with the inter-plane travelers by the Thousands of Demons Sect.

…

“This lad, he really makes one reassess him,” An Jiuyue said as she sat up on the bed, supporting her chin with one hand and talking to Wei Na in the space.

Without waiting for Wei Na to say anything else, she saw that Qian Jiyun opposite her was moving. It seemed the Dragon Soul had merged with the space, and her brows relaxed a bit.

“Qian Jiyun, has the Dragon Soul merged with the space?” she asked.

“It’s begun to merge. It can hear sounds from the outside now, although the range is limited,” Qian Jiyun nodded as he stood up and walked over to her.

“Then that’s good.”

The worry that An Jiuyue had been holding onto finally began to ease.

“Were you chatting with Wei Na just now?” Qian Jiyun asked her.

“Mm-hmm.”

An Jiuyue nodded, thinking of what Wei Na had told her, and couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
