Chapter 1790: Chapter 1790: Coming for the Hundred-Legged Jade Space

Xie Qi raised his hand and touched his face, gazing at them with a helpless look in his eyes.

Now, they were essentially tied to Qian Jiyun and his group. How could it be so simple for them to leave?

“This…”

The fifth elder obviously also felt that Xie Qi’s suggestion was not good.

Leaving was clearly unrealistic. If they left, wouldn’t that be directly telling the Sect Master of the Thousands of Demons Sect that there was something wrong with Qian Jiyun and the other two?

By doing so, they would not only be offending the Thousands of Demons Sect but also the inter-plane traveler from Huayan Peak.

Engaging in such thankless and troublesome efforts was something their Evil Sect could not do.

“You all agree it won’t work, right?”

Seeing that they were at a loss for words, Xie Qi asked.

“What’s done is done. Regret is useless now. We might as well follow this path to the dark end. By following Young Master Qian, at least there is one side we have not offended.”

He believed that even if the Thousands of Demons Sect were to fight against Qian Jiyun in the end, the odds would lean towards Qian Jiyun’s side.

After all, on their side, there was an alchemist above the Ninth Grade. Just now, the Heaven Suppression Pill, whose grade he hadn’t detected, would be enough to bring down a whole bunch of people from the Thousands of Demons Sect, right?

“Fifth Elder, go and prepare quietly. Although we cannot leave, we still need to guard against the lethality of the Heaven Suppression Pill,” he reminded.

Hearing this, the fifth elder understood in his heart.

If Qian Jiyun and the other two were indeed here to confront the Thousands of Demons Sect, and when the time came to scatter the Heaven Suppression Pill, they would also be in the midst and likely suffer misfortune.

Preparations were necessary now. As long as they didn’t inhale the medicinal properties of the Heaven Suppression Pill, they would be fine.

And now, the people of the Thousands of Demons Sect probably hadn’t considered needing to guard against the Heaven Suppression Pill in the hands of Qian Jiyun’s trio. Who knew whether they would even be able to fight in the end?

“I will go,” he nodded.

“I always feel that they came for the Hundred Legs Jade Space,” said the Ninth Elder.

Otherwise, how could the timing be so coincidental? It was precisely when the Hundred Legs Jade Space was about to open that Qian Jiyun and the others arrived, causing their Young Sect Master, who had come to the Thousands of Demons Sect intending to enter the Hundred Legs Jade Space, to run into them.

“Ninth Elder, you’d better stop talking about this,” said Xie Qi, his complexion darkening.

Wasn’t he aware of that? Although he appeared to be somewhat carefree on the surface, it didn’t mean he was truly foolish; he too had his clever moments, all right?

Qian Jiyun was obviously interested in the Hundred-Legged Treasure Space, or perhaps it was An Jiuyue who was interested in it.

He just didn’t understand why they would come for the Hundred-Legged Treasure Space. As far as he was aware, there was no connection whatsoever between the Hundred Legs Jade Space and Huayan Peak, right?

“It was wrong of me to say that,”

The Ninth Elder raised his hand and tapped his mouth.

He was just speaking among the few of them; outside, he didn’t know anything, and he certainly wouldn’t speak of it.

“I hope this matter doesn’t get us involved,” he sighed faintly.

Hearing his words, Xie Qi’s eyelids twitched.

He chuckled softly to himself, thinking that they had personally escorted Qian Jiyun and the others into the Thousands of Demons Sect—how could they not be involved? It was impossible even to consider.

“Let’s end this matter here and not speak of it further,” he added.

He did not want such talk to spread from their mouths and be overheard by the people of the Thousands of Demons Sect.

Both elders nodded simultaneously.
