“Your cultivation is profound; you may kill me or torture me as you please, but don’t even think about getting a single word out of me!”
He appeared ready to die for his country, utterly prepared to sacrifice himself for righteousness.
Upon seeing this, David instantly realized that the other party had completely misunderstood him, and sighed softly in his heart.
Now that the Heavenly Palace of Ten Thousand Laws has been destroyed, its remnants are hated by everyone, and the surviving disciples live in constant pursuit and suspicion. It is understandable that they are extremely vigilant and never trust anyone easily.
He did not forcefully attack, nor did he use his power to coerce. He simply slowly suppressed all his aura, shedding his overwhelming power, and spoke sincerely and gently: “You misunderstand. I am not here to kill you. I am Su Qingyuan’s friend.”
“My name is David, and I’m back.”
But to the gray-robed disciple, this explanation sounded like a deceptive lie.
He was already used to all sorts of coercion, bribery, deception and pretense by the various sects in their search for the young lady, and he didn’t believe them at all. His vigilance remained undiminished, and he was still on high alert.
Seeing that he remained wary and stubborn, David knew that any further explanation would be futile.
He nodded slightly and decided not to say anything more: “I won’t force you, nor will I hurt you. Go back and tell Su Qingyuan that David has returned and has been waiting for her on the east side of the ruins of the Myriad Laws Palace.”
“I won’t leave. I’ll wait here. If she wants to see me, she can send someone to find me anytime.”
Having said that, David stepped aside, completely clearing the way for him to leave.
The gray-robed disciple was completely taken aback, never expecting that this unfathomable expert would actually let him leave.
He hesitated for a moment, still not daring to let his guard down. He gave David a deep look, and without lingering, he turned around and sped off towards the cave.
Watching her disciple’s hurried departure, Ling Xiyue whispered, “David, he doesn’t trust us.”
Jiang Xuelan gently comforted him, “It’s understandable that people are wary in chaotic times. Just wait patiently, he will definitely go back and report.”
David nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on the direction of the cave, a barely perceptible hint of anxiety and guilt in his eyes: “I’ll wait for her.”
……
Inside the dark mountain cave.
Su Qingyuan had just calmed her turbulent blood and was leaning against the rock wall, barely managing to breathe. Her pale face was still completely devoid of color.
The gray-robed disciple who had just gone out hurriedly returned and rushed into the cave. His expression was extremely complicated, showing shock, doubt, and a hint of disbelief and trepidation.
“Young Miss!”
He quickly walked up to Su Qingyuan and whispered an urgent message.
Su Qingyuan slowly raised her eyes, her empty eyes devoid of any emotion, her voice weak and hoarse: “Has something happened outside?”
The disciple took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and said slowly and deliberately, “I just went out and met a powerful man in a blue robe. He knew I was a disciple of the sect and asked about your whereabouts.”
A chill suddenly flashed in Su Qingyuan’s eyes, and the remaining disciples instantly tensed up, their faces showing vigilance.
It was the pursuers again.
But the disciple’s words shattered the deathly silence in the cave the next moment.
“But he didn’t kill me or interrogate me. He just sent his men back with a message: ‘His name is David. He’s back. He’s waiting on the east side of the ruins. He wants to see you.’”
boom!
The short sentence exploded in Su Qingyuan’s mind like a thunderclap.
The eyes, which had been lifeless, empty, and devoid of light, suddenly contracted violently and burst forth with an unbelievable glint of light.
She froze on the spot, her whole body trembling slightly, and even her breathing stopped for a moment.
David.
She will never forget this name.
It was David who absorbed that Daoist essence.
When David left, saying he would return after resolving the issues of the Twenty-Sixth Heaven, Su Qingyuan didn’t believe him.
But now, in just a short time, David has actually returned.
In an instant, the despair, coldness, and deathly silence that had been building up for days were all broken through.
The endless grievances, sorrow, and bitterness that had been building up in my heart surged up instantly.
Ignoring her severe injuries, she suddenly pushed herself up against the rock wall, swaying as she did so, but a light shone in her eyes that she hadn’t seen in ten days.
“really?”
Her voice trembled, carrying a faint glimmer of disbelief.
“Absolutely true!”
The disciple nodded emphatically, “That person has an extraordinary temperament and is no ordinary person. Moreover, he is willing to wait and has no ill intentions. It doesn’t seem like a trap set by an enemy sect.”
Su Qingyuan was deeply shaken and could no longer sit still.
“Bring him here immediately.”
She gritted her teeth and spoke, forcefully suppressing the excruciating pain surging within her body.
“Young Miss, this place is secluded. If we easily bring outsiders in, I’m afraid…”
“That’s an order, go and bring him here!”
Su Qingyuan’s eyes were firm.
She concluded that David was no ordinary person, and now that he had returned, there might be hope for avenging the sect.
Therefore, she insisted on seeing David.
“Yes, sir!” the disciple said, then turned and walked out of the cave.
