Chapter 248

"Oh? What do you mean by that?"

Senior Dugu Jian looked curious.

"This isn't exactly a secret."

"Because no one has ever refused the Qinglong Society!"

"Everyone who refused is already dead!"

Senior Dugu Qiubai explained calmly.

Though his tone carried no hint of killing intent, it still sent a chill down the spine.

But after saying that,

Senior Dugu Qiubai suddenly remembered the one and only survivor under the Great Dragon Chief ever revealed by the Heavenly Dao Golden List—Guiguzi!

Of course,

With his intelligence, he understood at a glance.

It wasn't that Guiguzi was too strong.

It was that the Great Dragon Chief simply never imagined the man could survive after being severely wounded and escaping with a secret technique.

Otherwise,

With the Great Dragon Chief's methods, catching him would have been no difficulty at all!

This much,

From the power he displayed earlier at Qinglong Peak facing Di Shitian, was already evident.

"Hearing you say that, I'm growing more curious about the Great Dragon Chief."

Senior Dugu Jian chuckled.

His eyes held no anger, only growing curiosity.

"Big brother, you… you're really leaving?"

Though he knew full well his elder brother's nature,

Once he made a decision, he never changed it,

Senior Dugu Yifang still couldn't help speaking up.

His eyes held a trace of hesitation.

"Are you worried about Xiongba?"

It seemed he had guessed some of his thoughts.

Before Senior Dugu Jian could speak,

Senior Dugu Qiubai spoke first.

"How do you know?!"

Senior Dugu Yifang's pupils shrank slightly.

He involuntarily exclaimed aloud.

But remembering his elder brother's earlier words, he suddenly understood.

If his own elder brother could know everything about him,

Knowing his situation wasn't hard to accept at all.

Thinking of this,

Senior Dugu Yifang's expression calmed.

Watching his younger brother's reaction,

Senior Dugu Jian frowned slightly.

After a moment's thought, he nodded and said:

"Very well, you needn't worry too much about this."

"Before I leave, I'll pay a visit to the Tangtianxia Society."

"With my reputation, I'm certain Xiongba won't dare trouble Wushuang City!"

Saying this,

A terrifying aura flashed over him.

After all, it was his hometown.

Even though he hadn't returned in years, having devoted himself to sword cultivation,

Now that he'd learned this news, how could he stand idly by!

"Yes, you needn't worry about this."

"Since Brother Senior Dugu has joined our Qinglong Society,"

"We naturally won't stand by and do nothing."

"Even if you hadn't mentioned it, we would have sent someone to warn the Tangtianxia Society."

"But since Brother Senior Dugu has this interest, I'll accompany you."

Senior Dugu Qiubai nodded slightly in agreement.

The Qinglong Society cannot be insulted!

Even forces connected to Qinglong Society members are no exception!!

"In that case, thank you, Brother Daoist."

Seeing his words brimmed with dominance and arrogance,

Senior Dugu Jian bowed slightly to him, a faint smile on his face.

"No matter."

Senior Dugu Qiubai waved his hand dismissively.

He did not take it seriously at all.

Long before he joined the Qinglong Society.

He was always a proud man!

And the Qinglong Society's usual conduct was no less formidable than his own.

Thus.

He would never tarnish the Qinglong Society's reputation!!

Watching the two of them settle the matter in a few words.

Senior Dugu Yifang felt a faint surge of delight, yet couldn't help secretly marveling.

Just listen to the way he speaks.

Someone who didn't know would think Xiong Nu was some stray cat or dog that crawled out of a forgotten corner!

He didn't even have an ounce of prestige!

Absolutely ridiculous!!

Zhonghua Pavilion.

"He's already left?"

Sensing the faint, nearly vanished residual aura lingering within the pavilion.

Ling Donglai raised an eyebrow.

A faint smile curved his lips.

He was about to turn and leave.

Yet he seemed to sense something.

He narrowed his eyes and looked up at the void.

There, the Heavenly Dao Golden List spanning the sky trembled twice.

Then it burst forth with brilliant Jin Guang.

In an instant.

Everyone across the Nine Provinces simultaneously looked up.
