Chapter 174: The Truth

A few minutes later.

Yu Shengxuan had already heard everything about Yuchi from Yu Shengyun.

The matter was very simple.

To sum it up, after the battle between the angel race and the Heaven’s Wrath race, the dragons showed up. Before the dragons could kill the remaining angels, Yuchi exterminated them, but for some unknown reason ignored their beacons.

Yu Shengyun had no choice but to speak the truth. After all, she had been unable to fool her master’s eye.

She wished she could have kept the secret for longer.

After all, no one knew whose jade token it was. All they knew was that the jade token with 68 beacon flames floating next to it belonged to the killer; that was all!

The likelihood of a human being suspected was extremely low as well.

When he finds out that I revealed this secret, he will definitely be angry at me.

“Then, when I meet him again in the future, how should I face him? Why do I feel like I’m a traitor; a traitor caught between him and the angel race!”

At this moment, Yu Shengyun had all kinds of thoughts running through her mind.

When Yu Shengxuan saw her expression, she sighed.

‘My disciple still has not realized something even more ridiculous.’

She’s gradually drifting away from the angel race!

Why else would she display such hesitation to talk?

That itself spoke volumes.

‘What exactly happened between her and Yuchi?’

‘Could it be that Yuchi has already taken her?’

When Yu Shengxuan thought of this, she felt a little embarrassed.

She did not know much about this kind of thing, after all, she too had been a Saintess and forbidden to marry.

Then, she sized up her own disciple, looking at her carefully from head to toe.

After confirming that her disciple was still a virgin, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Phew, it was still alright!

It was a good thing that things had not escalated to that point yet.

Otherwise, it would be awkward!

Back to the point of how Yuchi had killed the two teams…

If Yu Shengxuan had not heard the news from Yu Shengyun’s mouth, she would never have believed it!

This was not something that a human was capable of!

Had Yuchi already surpassed the Dao realm and reached the Dao essence realm?

Previously, he had only been a second-grade Dao realm cultivator!

It had only been one and a half years, yet he had already become a Dao essence realm cultivator?

What kind of monstrous talent did he have?

Yu Shengxuan was finding it hard to breathe.

The more she thought about it, the more desperate she felt. She recalled the way Yuchi looked at her, and suddenly felt as if there was a fishbone stuck in her throat.

It was rather uncomfortable.

At that time, she had been examining Yuchi’s strength. Could it be that Yuchi was also examining her strength?

Recalling the look in his eyes, Yu Shengxuan felt that she was the one who had been investigated, and not the other way around.

Yu Shengxuan eventually managed to calm herself down.

Looking at the current situation…

Although Yu shengxuan was not sure why Yuchi had killed the giant god race’s team, there was no way he would be able to keep this matter a secret.

Once the hunt was over, his true identity would be revealed to everyone.

Unless…

Unless he gave up on the beacons!

If he threw away the jade token and left it in the Black Mountains, no one would know who he was!

“But would Yuchi really choose to do this?”

“I would if I were in his shoes.”

“Risking the ire and revenge of the giant god race is unwise.”

Although the beacons could be exchanged for many good things, it was not worth one’s life.

After all, Yuchi was still a human.

Compared to Yu Shengxuan who had mostly recovered from her shock, Yu Shengyun was extremely worried.

She could not help but ask, “Master, what is Yuchi thinking? Why did he kill the giant god race’s team? Did he get into a fight with them somehow?”

Yu Shengxuan could see how nervous her disciple was for Yuchi. She sighed at the thought of the angel race’s Saintess being so concerned about a stranger from another race.

Still, she gave an answer from a relatively rational point of view.

“I think Yuchi should still be quite a rational person.”

“Although he killed them and took their beacons, he should be fine. After all, no one knows who he is right now. After the hunt is over, he can dump the jade tokens and sneak out the Black Mountains. He will be safe that way.”

Her master’s answer gave her some measure of relief.

“I think so too. He should still consider his own safety. If I were him, I would throw the jade token away.”

“After all, isn’t there a saying in the human race?”

“Where there’s life, there’s hope.”

They both gradually calmed down and decided to wait things out, and instead started to discuss how to approach and communicate with Yuchi after this whole debacle was over.

However, the Black Mountains were nowhere as calm. While the teams of myriad races were preparing to leave the hunt, Yuchi had already stumbled upon another group of unfortunate souls.

When they refused to hand over their beacons, Yuchi plucked them like weeds. He was gradually getting into the mood.

Hehehe!
