Chapter 1812: Decision There was nothing more convincing than the 400-odd corpses of the Evil Wolf Army. When those bloodied corpses were moved into the hall by Su Zimo, all the suspicions and slandering of Liang Qiu earlier on seemed extremely weak! That scene gave everyone a huge shock as well! None of the 500 Evil Wolf Army soldiers were spared! Was this done by this seemingly frail green-robed scholar? Even with Chen Xuanyang’s shrewdness, his expression changed starkly! He knew in his heart that Su Zimo was not only proving his innocence, but also establishing his dominance! That person was telling him not to provoke him! “H-How is this possible?” Even Liang Qiu’s confidence was lacking as he forced a smile. “Y-You’re only a Grade 4 Black Immortal. How can you kill so many of the Evil Wolf Army?” Xia Qingying took a deep breath and composed herself. She looked at Liang Qiu coldly and questioned in a deep voice, “Liang Qiu, what else do you have to say?” “I-I… I…!” Liang Qiu looked a little flustered and looked at Chen Xuanyang instinctively, wanting to say something. ...... Chen Xuanyang’s expression darkened and killing intent flashed through his eyes. Suddenly, he slapped Liang Qiu on the head! Bang! Brain juice splattered! Liang Qiu’s eyes widened in disbelief. The few of them were extremely close and he did not expect Chen Xuanyang to attack him, let alone release a killing move directly! Not only did that palm crack his skull, it even dispersed the Essence Spirit in his consciousness! Naturally, Chen Xuanyang would not allow Liang Qiu to reveal their collusion. As a Grade 6 Black Immortal, apart from Su Zimo, no one present could react to his attack at this distance. Naturally, Su Zimo would not save Liang Qiu either. Thump! Liang Qiu’s corpse laid stiffly in a pool of blood without resting in peace. “Chen Xuanyang, what are you doing?!” Xia Qingying snapped out of her stupor and asked loudly. Chen Xuanyang retracted his palm and wiped it gently with a calm expression. “Qingying, this person has ulterior motives. To think that he would want to frame the meritorious guard of this trip, Su Zimo. He almost deceived me.” “I’m worried about keeping such a despicable person by your side. I know you’re soft-hearted, so I’ll kill him for you today!” “No matter how wrong Liang Qiu is, he’s still someone from Snow Wind Ridge. You…” Xia Qingying clenched her fists slightly with an enraged expression. Chen Xuanyang smiled gently. “Qingying, an expert like Guard Su is more than enough to replace Liang Qiu as the commander of Snow Wind Ridge. As for Liang Qiu, he deserved to die.” Pausing for a moment, Chen Xuanyang shifted his gaze towards Su Zimo and asked with a smile, “Guard Su, what do you think?” Others might not be able to tell, but Su Zimo saw everything clear as a mirror. Apart from the fact that Chen Xuanyang was worried that Liang Qiu would spout nonsense, the reason why he was so decisive to kill Liang Qiu in public was also to establish his dominance! He took out more than 400 corpses of the Evil Wolf Army to shock everyone in Blood Sun Valley. In return, this young master of Blood Sun Valley killed Liang Qiu with a single palm strike right in front of him! This young master was telling Su Zimo that killing him was as simple as killing this person! Although everything seemed calm between the two of them on the surface, there was a flurry of swords and sabers behind their backs—both of them had already attacked once! “Young Master Chen, you must be joking,” Su Zimo was naturally unmoved by Chen Xuanyang’s threat and replied indifferently, “I’ll leave Snow Wind Ridge after today. I truly can’t take on the position of the commander of the guards.” “Oh?” Chen Xuanyang’s eyes lit up, thinking that his dominance had worked. He nodded in satisfaction. “That’s a pity.” “Fellow Daoist Su, why are you leaving?” Xia Qingying was a little anxious and couldn’t care less that others were present. She asked hurriedly, “Although Liang Qiu slandered you, I never suspected you.” “Given the meritorious deed you’ve done today, as long as we return to Snow Wind Ridge, I’ll report it to my father and give you a generous reward! Your capabilities are enough for you to be the commander of the guards!” “That’s right!” A guard at the side said, “Guard Su, although you haven’t been to our Snow Wind Ridge for long, you’ve saved everyone this time round. We’re all impressed.” Su Zimo shook his head gently. “I’m used to being lazy and I don’t like to be restrained. I can’t be the commander of the guards either.” “I’ve already disturbed you guys after staying in Snow Wind Ridge for a year. Even without today’s matter, I’m prepared to bid farewell to all of you and explore elsewhere.” Xia Qingying frowned. “However, it’s not safe outside the Dragon Abyss Star. If you’re alone…” “Mistress, I’ve made up my mind,” Su Zimo said indifferently. At that point, Xia Qingying could no longer persuade him and could only sigh internally. Actually, the most important reason why Su Zimo wanted to leave was because he had already offended the Evil Wolf Army after killing 500 of them! Under normal circumstances, no one would know who did it if all of them were dead. However, it was clear that the Evil Wolf Army was in cahoots with Blood Sun Valley. There was no way to hide this! If he continued to stay in Snow Wind Ridge, it would bring about a calamity for them! At the very least, given his current cultivation realm, he could not fight against a faction like Blood Sun Valley and the Evil Wolf Army, one of the Four Great Bandits. Therefore, he could only choose to leave. Chen Xuanyang patted Xia Qingying gently on the shoulder and consoled her softly, “Qingying, everyone has their own ambitions and there’s no way to force things. If Snow Wind Ridge lacks manpower, I can send some experts over.” “There’s no need for that. Thank you, Young Master Chen,” Xia Qingying shook her head. Unknowingly, she had changed the way she addressed Chen Xuanyang and distanced herself from him. Chen Xuanyang did not mind and waved his hand. “Men, clean up the corpses of the Evil Wolf Army. Let the banquet continue!” “Young Master Chen, I’m a little tired. I’ll head down to rest first,” Xia Qingying said before looking at Su Zimo. “Fellow Daoist Su, follow me. I have something to tell you.” Su Zimo nodded and followed. Chen Xuanyang looked at the backs of the two of them and smirked. Before long, the two of them arrived at the resting place of everyone from Snow Wind Ridge. Xia Qingying bit her cherry lips gently and suddenly raised her head. “Fellow Daoist Su, I know that you chose to leave because you’re worried that you’ll implicate Snow Wind Ridge.” Su Zimo was slightly stunned and a look of surprise flashed through his eyes. He had not expected that the young mistress of Snow Wind Ridge would be able to tell his intentions so quickly. Su Zimo did not say anything as a silent acknowledgement. Xia Qingying said, “Actually, you don’t have to do that at all. I’ll report today’s matter to my father. We can consider it at length and make preparations in advance to discuss a foolproof plan to deal with the Evil Wolf Army.” Although Xia Qingying said that, she knew in her heart that if the Evil Wolf Army truly attacked, Snow Wind Ridge would definitely be destroyed!
