Chapter 601 - 391 Sherlock, Northern Ice Wolf Clan
Chapter 391
"Release her child, and I won’t kill this man. After all, your mission has failed this time, and offending the two of us further serves you no good,"
Her voice was actually very soft, yet unexpectedly icy, so it sounded pleasant but also left no room for refusal.
Not up for negotiation.
Yi was even more indifferent, just looking at her, then at Fei.
Fei made a long face: "Yi, don’t look at me with that kind of gaze, I still don’t want to die~"
"To die for the organization is your honor," Yi said stiffly.
NO!
Fei glared, "Don’t piss me off... Anyway, you decide. But let’s talk nicely, Miss Beautiful behind me, God tells us that only by facing problems with reason can we solve the difficulties of life..."
As a minor leader of the organization, if he begged for mercy, he would probably be executed as soon as he returned.
"I can’t make the decision, let’s wait for Sherlock to come. After all, you are under his command," Yi declared, washing his hands off the matter.
Washing his hands off it...
Shit!
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear, a blond Sherlock strolled in leisurely.
Seeing the scene before him he chuckled: "Quite the lively scene."
"Sherlock~ you’ve finally arrived, look at this mess..." Mr. Fei chuckled dryly.
Wei Feng and the others were shocked inside!
They didn’t know much about this group of people. Based on previous observations, the leader who gave orders seemed to be this comical and cunning Mr. Fei. However, in terms of status, the battle-powerful and ice-cold Yi seemed to hold a higher position. Yet only now did they realize the highest commander of this group was...
Sherlock.
Sherlock glanced at Lady Gong Jiu and then toward the long-haired woman, smiling slightly: "May I ask for the lady’s name?"
Clearly, a pure foreigner, seemingly British, yet his Chinese was extremely standard, even with a Beijing accent, quite pleasant to the ears and very cultured.
"Seek revenge?"
"I wouldn’t dare," she said lightly.
"I only want the safety of my nephew..."
"But capturing him is not enough to meet your demands..." Sherlock sighed profoundly, "We’ve gained nothing this time, and the boss is likely to be very unhappy. When he’s unhappy, a lot of us will die, and Fei will hardly be missed... so your hostage isn’t very valuable. Perhaps you should consider killing that Lady Gong Jiu, take the Dragon Leading Plate from her, and then come trade with me~ How about it?"
Damn!
I’m getting shot again? You sly pretty boy!
Gong Jiu twitched the corner of her mouth, meeting the gaze of the woman, who only glanced at her and said: "Unfortunately, I can’t afford to provoke the one behind her, and naturally, neither can you."
"Don’t use me as a scapegoat... If this hostage is worthless, then..."
Her hand gently pinched Mr. Fei’s arm...
Ah~~ A pig-slaughter-like scream.
Hm, she dislocated half of his arm...
The foreigner’s tears and snot flowed together...
Sherlock laughed: "The times have changed, even the gentlest girls have become ruthless... Then I guess I’ll have to act myself~~"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly vanished from the spot...
Gong Jiu only felt a darkness before her eyes, then a hand appeared out of nowhere, those fingers beautiful enough to kill her...
The progress she had made before seemed useless in front of this man...
Kill!
Boom!
A palm met a palm!
Gong Jiu didn’t budge! She only felt her arm go a bit cold, as if frosted with a layer of ice.
Sherlock was knocked back; a ghostly shadow glided past her, chasing after him!
Soaring like flight, that qinggong, those needles flicked from the fingertips...
The sharp edge of murder, nothing but a needle!
Swipe!
Sherlock turned back, flicking his hand, his palm toward the flying needle...
If the scene had frozen, one could see frost on his palm and the flying needle shining with silver light.
Clang!!
The silver needles shattered, the frost dissipated.
However, those shattered silver needles turned into specks of light, and with soft thuds, several people fell to the ground with a drop of blood on their foreheads.
Yi looked on as if nothing had happened.
It was over in the blink of an eye.
Sherlock stood unmoved, and the one who landed with a flick of his sleeve... was even prettier than a woman.
One used a palm that froze, the other murdered with mere needles...
Is this fantasy?
It seemed less shocking with Sui Yi’s pearls and gems preceding, more like a feeling of wariness.
"Ah! It’s her!"
"Eastern God!" Brother Ma shouted.
"Please take my knees~" Han Gao also shouted.
This band of ruffians!
Nalan and the others sighed. How could their luck be such, not only did Sui Yi arrive, but also the Eastern Lady...
"That Sherlock is powerful," Wei Feng frowned, "What cultivation technique is that ice palm? It looks very..."
Was that a cultivation technique?
People from the sects found it unimaginable, Rui Ziling and Luo Xiuxian exchanged glances. As far as they knew, there were only a few in the Martial Arts World with such techniques, how could a foreigner possess one...
"May I know who your excellency is..."
The Eastern Lady’s eyes were cold, giving him a glance: "I’ll tell you after I fetch my things... it won’t be too late then."
The things?
Sherlock’s brow furrowed as he saw the figure disappear...
Then dozens of silver glimmers shot through the air—those were threads and needles!
Not good!
Sherlock’s feet tapped the ground, and with a sweep of his hand, frost spread, freezing many of the gleaming threads of needles...
But it was at that moment his backpack disappeared from his back!
Turning around, he saw a figure with long hair flowing in the air, opening his backpack, and taking out the stone slab within.
To his astonishment, they stepped through the air, changing direction and alighting atop the brush...
Standing luminescent.
This lightness skill was terrifying!
And there were streaks of silver needles floating around her, as if ready to pierce their bodies the next second.
Sherlock’s eyes darkened.
Inner Strength unleashed and controlling objects!
Both Third Lady Yin and the long-haired woman had their pupils shrink—just who was this person?
They must possess at least five hundred years of Inner Strength!
Rui Ziling and others also gasped in shock...
Lady Gong Jiu and her companions were intoxicated; as "friends" who had dined with this person many times, they thought Sui Yi was being quite dishonest in this matter.
So much for being injured and having comparable strength to them!
Damn it!
"Flower Fairy, it seemed like you said you were going to overpower her before, thankfully you didn’t act on it, otherwise it would be a struggle even to retrieve our bodies,"
" ...."
For the first time, Flower Demon didn’t retort to Lady Gong Jiu’s teasing and just stared wide-eyed, her eyes sparkling with stars.
So powerful! I really like her!
Eastern Lady had already taken the stone slab, casually tossing the backpack back, "You’re not from our grand Huaxia; you can’t be allowed to take this..."
So domineering.
Lady Gong Jiu immediately activated her core skill, "Us too, Eastern, they bullied us..."
"Bullied?" Eastern Lady’s eyes carried a playful mischief, "If they dare to touch a hair on your heads, just kill them."
With a movement of her hand, those needles twitched...
Sherlock picked up his backpack and smiled, "Your Excellency is very powerful; I really dare not lay a finger on them...not to mention Miss Sui is here too."
He patted the backpack and looked towards the long-haired woman: "Let him go, and when I return, I will make sure the child is released."
"How can we trust you?"
"The honor of the Northern Ice Wolf Clan cannot be desecrated," he said mildly, yet it made many present turn pale.
Including Lady Gong Jiu and her companions, who now looked at him with a hint of horror.
Northern Ice Wolf Clan...
The long-haired woman frowned but still released Mr. Fei.
"Then I’ll trust you this time, Nie Wanqing," she said simply.
Sherlock smiled slightly, "That’s a good name. So, your Excellency... what about you?"
"Dongfang Bubai."
Upon hearing this name, both Mr. Fei and Sherlock visibly stiffened—if they remembered correctly...
Smiling Proud Wanderer?
This person was really dishonest, even giving a fake name!
Sherlock just laughed it off and walked away.
As they left, Wei Feng and his group felt it was not appropriate for them to stay...
There was no choice, Eastern Lady was too strong for them to handle.
Since the treasure was not in their possession, perhaps they needed to investigate who that youth was.
Rui Ziling and another person bowed to Lady Gong Jiu and left as well.
Once these people left, Feng Sha spat out a mouthful of blood, sitting down on the ground: "Thank you, Eastern Lady, for the rescue..."
"You’d better leave quickly; this place isn’t safe," said Eastern Lady, who was usually indifferent towards others. It was quite clear, probably due to Sui Yi’s influence...
"But Sui Yi..."
"Even if the sky falls, it won’t crush her..." Eastern Lady fiddled with the stone slab in her hand, glancing at the people, "I’m leaving. If you see her again, tell her... if I haven’t returned in a year, then see you in Kunlun."
Then, with a hop, she was off, treading on top of the brush and drifting away...
Just like in those TV dramas...
Lady Gong Jiu and her companions exchanged glances.
One year, Kunlun?
——————
Third Lady Yin looked frustrated, while her sister, Nie Wanqing, was quite composed, stepping forward to bow to Yhan Qingwu and others: "Sorry, it was my sister who troubled you all earlier."
Although a cold-hearted person by nature, she had a clear sense of gratitude and resentment. Throughout, she had not harmed them; it was just her sister...
"There were reasons behind it; let it be," Lady Gong Jiu was quite generous, waving it away, and nobody else said anything either, considering that Third Lady Yin hadn’t truly hurt them.
But as for Mount Mover...
"I apologize, Elder," Third Lady Yin said.
"Enough, I understand you did it for your child... However, with the Northern Ice Wolf Clan leading them, their origins are indeed fearsome. While they may not break their promises, you should still tread carefully when you return. But as two women born of the Nie Yin Clan, you can naturally seek help from the people of the Jiangnan Eighteen Clans..."
The Northern Ice Wolf Clan, being one of the powerful clans in Australia, is renowned worldwide and represents a special kind of existence similar to those ancient noble clans in China.
Such a presence... they couldn’t help but take it seriously.
However, the Jiangnan Eighteen Clans were also a powerful force in the Martial Arts World, and the strongest noble clans were not weaker than the Northern Ice Wolf Clan.
They were just more low-key.
Third Lady Yin’s expression turned a bit pale, and Nie Wanqing looked down, bowing again towards Mount Mover, "Thank you for the reminder, senior,"
Then, she left with Third Lady Yin.
However, the term ’Nie Yin Clan’ surprised Lady Gong Jiu and the others. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
