Chapter 1775: Chapter 1775: Can’t You Be Quieter?
With the Ninth Grade Detoxification Pill given to him by Wan Yu, that was enough for him. He didn’t need to pay any mind to other people’s idle chatter, because today, he was happy.
“Young Sect Master, is there sothing making you happy?” The Fifth Elder saw his Young Sect Master’s subtly lifted corners of his mouth and lowered his voice to ask.
“Mhm.”
Xie Qi did not hesitate to nod, and he lowered his voice even further to speak.
“Just now, Young Master Qian gave a bottle of Ninth Grade Elixirs, it’s an antidote pill, said to keep close to my body.”
He thought he had spoken quietly enough that no one other than his own two Great Elders could hear, but as soon as his words fell, the entire hall fell utterly silent.
He was stunned for a mont, as he felt the gaze of the others in the hall condescending upon him as if they wanted to devour him.
“Uh.”
He was choked by his own words.
If he had known, he would have said nothing at all. Weren’t these people engrossed in their own conversations? How co their ears suddenly beca so sharp that they heard what he said?
He blinked sowhat blankly and looked up at those who were staring at him.
“Young Sect Master, could you not speak a bit softer?”
The Fifth Elder gave a wry smile. Now that the words were out, how could the Ninth Grade Detoxification Pill possibly remain secure? Wouldn’t it be taken by the Sect Master of the Thousands of Demons Sect?
“I…”
Hadn’t he spoken quietly enough?
Xie Qi felt quite wronged. Other people weren’t looking over when they whispered among themselves before.
How co when it ca to coveted treasures, their ears suddenly got as sensitive as cat’s ears? It seed as if they were deliberately waiting for him to reveal sothing, weren’t they?
“After all, the item is mine, I’ll do with it as I please,” he said outright.
Could it be that if he didn’t want to give it away, others were planning to forcibly take it from him? Although his Evil Sect was indeed inferior to the Thousands of Demons Sect, after many years of open and secret struggle, the Thousands of Demons Sect still couldn’t just do whatever they wanted with the Evil Sect, right?
Now that the item was in his possession, could the people of the Thousands of Demons Sect really act like bandits and snatch it from his hands outright?
The people of the Thousands of Demons Sect had only heard what Xie Qi said, and while they harbored a greedy desire for the Ninth Grade dicinal pill, if they were to truly snatch it, of course, they wouldn’t do so openly.
However, it was possible to think of so covert thods to make the fool Xie Qi hand over the dicinal pill on his own.
A Ninth Grade Elixir, especially an antidote pill of such high quality—sothing even the Thousands of Demons Sect didn’t possess—was definitely sothing they intended to acquire. What right did these minions of the Evil Sect have to a Ninth Grade Elixir?
Inside the Banquet Cloud Hall, the Great Elder of the Thousands of Demons Sect raised his hand and beckoned to soone behind him.
“Great Elder, what would you like to command?”
The attendant imdiately ca over, bending carefully and asking with respect.
“Go, report this matter to the Young Sect Master,” the Great Elder ordered.
Previously, they were unaware that the three people from the Evil Sect who ca with Xie Qi had such a valuable item with them, which was why they had them watched.
Now that they knew, they couldn’t help but treat them as guests of honor.
A Ninth Grade Alchemist was an invincible entity even on the Qianyuan Plane; if they could remain in the Thousands of Demons Sect, it would undoubtedly take them to a higher level.
“Yes, Great Elder.”
After hearing the command, the attendant backed away two steps before turning and departing.
…
Outside the Banquet Cloud Hall, Wan Yan had just arrived and had not yet entered the main hall when he was stopped by the attendant.
