Brother Cheng lifted his sword and approached him once again.

"I just showed off in front of you again."

"And then what?"

Chao Guang was too frightened to speak, his teeth chattering continuously.

The sight of the powerful and esteemed Emperor Realm Third Layer being killed so easily shattered his understanding.

The fall of hundreds of experts further broke down his psychological defenses.

"I already told you to scram. Why make things difficult for yourself?"

With a loud thud, Chao Guang knelt down and kowtowed fervently.

"Senior, senior, spare my life!"

"I was wrong, I truly was wrong, I have eyes but failed to see..."

After admitting his mistakes, Brother Cheng finally sighed.

"Alright, alright."

"You must be hating me, looks like I can't let you stay."

"No, no, please!"

Chao Guang kowtowed frantically once more: "I dare not, senior, I truly realize my mistake..."

"Really?"

"Truly, truly!"

Brother Cheng patted his shoulder, speaking earnestly: "I said it's all settled now, the case is closed. Do you still hold any grudge?"

"No, no, absolutely no grudges!"

How could Chao Guang dare to hold a grudge; he was almost scared witless.

He could only assume this person might execute him at any moment.

Little did he know, the next words from Sect Leader Jiang surprised him greatly.

"Forget it, you can go!"

Chao Guang felt he'd never found the word "go" so wonderful and melodious in his life.

He never imagined that someone who killed so many people would actually spare him alone.

"Senior!"

Gong Qing couldn't hold back any longer.

"You can't let him go!"

Brother Cheng glared at her: "When did it become your turn to teach me what to do?"

Meanwhile, having been given permission, Chao Guang escaped hastily, wishing he had two more legs.

Watching him flee out of sight, Gong Qing was filled with anxiety and unwillingness.

She nearly wanted to give chase and eradicate this hidden danger completely, but didn't dare to in front of Brother Cheng.

So she could only keep sighing.

"Senior, this is a very unwise move!"

She was almost openly saying this was a naive kindness.

"What?" Brother Cheng pretended not to understand.

Of course he knew this was letting the tiger return to the mountain.

However, he did it on purpose.

"Although the elite force of the Chao Family has been eradicated by senior's thunderous means, once this person returns, he will definitely inform Realm Master Tu Xing, and he will not let it go."

Moreover, if Chao Guang were to be silenced, what just happened would be hard to uncover for the time being.

"By then, the senior will have to face the late-stage Emperor Realm Third Layer Tu Xing, and there is more than just one Emperor Realm Third Layer under his command!"

Watching her seriously analyze, Brother Cheng almost burst into laughter.

Having dealt with the small ones and waiting for the big ones and then the big ones bring backers, Brother Cheng was very familiar with such things.

The reason for letting Chao Guang go was precisely to let him seek reinforcements.

Only this way can more Immortal Yuan Points be obtained.

If Chao Guang's mouth were to be silenced, and that Realm Master Tu Xing couldn't find him, the service would be very inadequate, wouldn't it?

"Wow, is that Tu Xing really that formidable?"

"Indeed, among the nineteen Realm Masters, Tu Xing's strength can at least rank in the top ten!"

"How many Emperor Realm Third Layers are under his command?"

"Eight, but Luan Long has been slain by you just now, leaving seven."

Still seven left? Those are piles and piles of Immortal Yuan Points, Brother Cheng beamed.

"They must have lots of resources... ah, I mean, they must all have Divine Weapons, right?"

"Yes, they all use Tier Ten Immortal Artifacts, and Tu Xing himself even uses a Tier One True Artifact!"

A Tier One True Artifact is also known as the legendary Tier Eleven Immortal Artifact.

Brother Cheng glanced at the Tier Ten Immortal Artifact he had just looted and suddenly found it less appealing.

After all, he was soon to own a True Artifact.

The speed of upgrading this equipment was truly touching.

This time he must be careful, unlike before when he slew that Lord and destroyed everything.

Gong Qing had no idea he was scheming all this.

"Senior, there's still time to catch up and kill Chao Guang, his flight speed isn't fast, as long as he hasn't sent a message, the incident can be concealed for a long time."

"During this time, senior can escape Celestial Rainbow Territory, maybe even avoid calamity!"

Brother Cheng shook his head like a rattle drum.

"No, no, I've already let him go, how can I go back on my word?"

"That wouldn't be in line with my principles!"

Gong Qing was so anxious she didn't know what to say.

Inwardly, she further labeled Jiang Cheng as foolishly stubborn.

"Senior, think carefully, this move is really unwise!"

"Staying here is very dangerous, even if you don't kill Chao Guang, we can still change our location..."

Brother Cheng inexplicably glanced at her, why does this woman like analyzing the situation so much?

The painting style similar to a 'Military Advisor', combined with her Ice Maiden appearance, felt a bit out of place.

"You're absolutely right, then I'll relocate."

Seeing him finally come to his senses, Gong Qing breathed a long sigh of relief.

But the next second, she nearly broke down.

"Senior, you're flying toward Tu Xing, this is walking right into the trap!"

Brother Cheng was flying in the direction where Chao Guang had just fled.

He felt waiting around like this was too wasteful, better to take the initiative to welcome the True Artifact.

But outwardly he cheerfully remarked: "Isn't it said that the most dangerous place is the safest place?"

Advisor Gong nearly found this brother amusing with her anger.

But Brother Cheng's power was too formidable, she dared not offend.

She could only plead earnestly: "Tu Xing will not overlook the surrounding areas, I have studied this person, he is meticulous, and his actions are all-encompassing..."

You've studied even him? 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Can you stop being so capable?

Brother Cheng thought that staying away from such capable people was wise, lest she steal the spotlight.

So he spread his hands: "Given how dangerous the front is, you can leave, I don't mind."

Gong Qing's expression froze.

She indeed didn't want to accompany him to 'death'; if she were alone, she would have escaped as far as possible.

The reason she stayed and analyzed all this was because this was currently the only senior expert she could barely speak to.

The Gong Clan, as the confidant subordinates of the former Lord, became targets after the former Lord's death.

Throughout Feihong Territory, she had no footing and could not show herself.

Under such circumstances, she could still conceal her identity and abilities to mix into the Chao Family.

After a series of strategic maneuvers and sabotage, she had caused the demise of several enemies stronger than herself, and even almost managed to escape unscathed, which already showed top-notch intellect and courage.

But human strength has limits, as the cultivation realm is ultimately a place where strength speaks.

No matter how clever she was, she was still hampered by her own lack of power, unable to confront the Emperor Realm Third Layer enemies effectively.

The appearance of Jiang Cheng showed her a ray of hope.

If she could build a connection with this senior, it would mean a great deal to her.
