Chapter 693: 688. Xia Ye’s Revenge "Kid, you’re out of luck, running into me like this! The humiliation Bainian Xiang brought me, today I’ll pay it back to you double!"
In the crowd, Xia Ye looked at Qin Mo with excitement.
That gaze was like a hunter who had waited long for prey.
To be honest, ever since losing to Bainian Xiang in front of everyone that day.
No!
To be precise, ever since Bainian Xiang cheated to win, Xia Ye had always felt shame and anger.
With Xia Jin dead, it should have been his time to shine, his time to become the first in the Xia Family.
But instead, it was indeed the shame of failure that followed.
So now, seeing Qin Mo, the first thought in Xia Ye’s mind was — to deal with Bainian Xiang’s people one by one, and finally take care of Bainian Xiang to wash away the shame.
But he had to find a way to lure him to a place with no one around.
If he acted here and was seen by people from other factions, his Sect would surely know in the future.
Although the Immortal Sect didn’t send many, just looking at Hidden Dragon Sect’s attitude already indicated its power.
Moreover, the fact that many forces sought the elusive Master Zi Ran, who chose to join the Immortal Sect, further proved that the Xia Family was not to be provoked.
With others leaving, Xia Ye’s scheme took its steps toward Qin Mo.
A hundred meters.
Fifty meters.
Thirty meters.
...
Just as Qin Mo was about to leave to continue searching for the next target, Xia Ye had already arrived.
"What’s the matter?"
Qin Mo turned his head and glanced at Xia Ye. Since he didn’t know him, he didn’t think much. He just instinctively asked when he saw the other party suddenly approach.
Beside him, Xia Ye smiled warmly, with a harmless appearance.
"Friend, which faction are you from?"
Qin Mo thought for a moment, decided not to say anything, and asked back, "If you have something to say, say it quickly, if not, I’ll leave."
Xia Ye still wore a gentle smile, not annoyed by Qin Mo’s impatience. Yet, in his heart, he laughed sinisterly, seeing Qin Mo as too young.
Xia Ye pretended to be urgent, hurriedly saying, "Wait... I see your strength is not bad, why not follow me inside? Let’s go kill some higher Realm demons."
"Not interested." Qin Mo shook his head and was about to leave.
Xia Ye followed up, saying, "Friend, don’t be in a rush. I can help you kill some demons of Upper Profound Realm. After we severely injure the demon together, I’ll leave, and you can earn the Points."
"Since you want to test if you can exploit the Points Token, shouldn’t you find someone stronger? I’m only Lower Profound Realm." To be honest, he was indeed attracted by the other’s words.
If it works, it would be much better than fighting solo.
Xia Ye smiled cunningly in his heart, seeing Qin Mo falling for the trap, feeling a bit smug. But outwardly, he still pretended to have no ill intentions, "Though you’re just Lower Profound Realm, you’ve managed to kill a Middle Profound Realm demon in a short time. It shows your strength is extraordinary. And where can we quickly find the Upper Profound Realm ones? By the time we find them, don’t know how much time has been wasted."
Hearing Xia Ye’s words, Qin Mo’s initial suspicion turned to semi-belief.
However, the thought of trying was becoming heavier in his mind.
If it succeeds.
Earning Points would be relatively easy.
Teaming up to attack an Upper Profound Realm demon surely saves more time than finding one alone and killing the demon.
Just as he was about to nod in agreement to try, Qin Mo paused.
He remembered the Sect Leader.
The Sect Leader wanted him to enter the top 100 in the Newcomers List and even bestowed the Two-Vortex Vortex Map.
It seemed he really cared about the ranking.
But was the Sect Leader’s true intention just that simple?
As a Sect from the Hundred Sects Alliance, what use does the Sect Leader have for a Newcomers List ranking?
Moreover, if ranking is what he wanted, to gain fame, he could appoint some from higher Realm in the Sect, like Lin Kewu, to easily enter the top 100 of the Newcomers List.
Why did the Sect Leader give him the chance?
Is it because he acquired magic?
"The Sect Leader stresses entering the top 100 in the Newcomers List, maybe as a set goal. For us to work hard towards it. The real intent is for us to train ourselves, understanding magic’s role through real combat. Since magic as an attack approach was newly created."
"Could it be the Sect Leader intends to cultivate me and Huai Ye as pioneers of the Anomalous Vein with magic?"
"If that’s true, then for a mere Point, using trickery would be missing the point, wouldn’t it?"
Several thoughts popped into Qin Mo’s mind, waking him up from Xia Ye’s calls.
Xia Ye smiled brightly, "Let’s go."
