Chapter 386: Who Would Be Patient Enough to Wait for Him?
“The chilling effects of the poison in his blood are progressively fading away, like he has natural poison antibodies.” Qiao Mu pursed her lips. “His identity is perhaps not that simple.”
Mo Lian raised his brow slightly as he suddenly thought of something, and his gaze deepened a bit.
When the two people arrived at the city gate tower, they saw that the Tercel Squadron had occupied half of the sky, forming a dense mass. Below the city gate, a little more than 2000 Akedo tribesmen were hollering loudly at the city lord and his company.
Qiao Mu had someone haul the youth Asi onto the city wall. A sharp dagger appeared in her hand in an instant, and she held it against Asi’s neck.
The Akedo Tribe’s Clan Head Ahon stared at them with the incisive gaze of a hawk. He berated loudly, “What do you want to do? We Akedo have already conceded so much, even handing over a writ to sue for peace! Hurry and release my son!”
“What heck is the use of a writ to sue for peace!” Murong Xun coldly said, “This peak master heard that you people from the Western Wastelands value oaths the most. How about this, hand over a pledge stamped with all your tribesmen’s blood seals! With this, even if you want to renege in the future, the Heavenly Law will punish you all in our stead.”
“Wishful thinking!!” All the men of the Akedo Tribe were in an uproar!
Without a second word, Qiao Mu flung more than half of Asi’s body past the city wall, ready to push him off the city gate tower. It frightened the people below so much that they clammed up.
Ahon’s voice quivered slightly, and he restrained himself with difficulty by clenching his fists. He yelled sternly, “Little Miss, please show mercy! I entreat you to contemplate carefully before taking action! Asi’s identity is not something you can transgress against! If something happens to him, even the entire Shuwang City and all of the Western Wastelands cannot make up for his honorable life!”
So much nonsense! Qiao Mu pushed forcefully, and Asi dropped downwards with an ashen face. His pose was quite unique! Aside from his remaining leg still swaying inside the city wall, his whole body was basically in free-fall.
“Okay, okay, okay! We agree, we agree!! We agree to everything!” Where did this vicious little girl come from? She didn’t even give others a bit of leeway in negotiating. Ahon’s eyes were bloodshot from anger, but he didn’t have any other choice.
Asi was the Achilles’ heel of the entire Akedo Tribe. He definitely wouldn’t let anything happen to Asi! No one would be able to bear this responsibility!
When the pledge was handed over to the city gate tower, City Lord Luge was beside himself with exhilaration as he accepted it with both hands.
That’s great, pledges were indeed effective. Just as Peak Master Murong said, if the Akedo tribesmen dared to renege in the future, they would all first suffer from the Heavenly Law’s punishment without exception!
“Many thanks, Peak Master Murong. Many thanks for everyone’s help.” The city lord was practically crying in joy. Their Shuwang City should be able to get by more easily from now on.
Murong Xun waved her hand and had people send Asi and the rest out of the city.
Even when the youth Asi was being dragged away, his pair of wolf eyes were still viciously staring at Qiao Mu, just like he wanted to deeply imprint her small appearance into the depths of his eyes as well as engrave it into his brain!
“You just wait! D*mn girl! I will come back to find you! You just wait for me!!” The youth yelled with a cruel arrogance.
Everyone glowered at him.
However, the little stoic was clueless. “Who would be patient enough to wait for him?”
“Pfft…” Wei Nanfeng broke into laughter and looked towards the displeased Mo Lian beside him.
Wei Nanfeng winked at him, then bantered quietly, “Seems like your little miss still hasn’t started understanding things. Tsk, tsk, you still have a long way to go.”
