Chapter 1602: Chapter 1602: Give Them Double

“Wei Na, you search carefully too. If you find the Sky Phoenix Grass, there will be a reward,” she said.

“Really? What reward?”

Upon hearing about a reward, Wei Na’s spirits immediately lifted.

“You’ve been wanting to taste the Seven-Colored Lotus Seeds, haven’t you? If you find the Sky Phoenix Grass, I’ll let you have some,” An Jiuyue said.

“Alright, it’s a promise.”

Wei Na quickly nodded, speaking faster than usual, as if afraid An Jiuyue might change her mind.

…

“Failed again? Another failure?”

Within a residence, Xiang Qifeng, receiving the news, angrily slapped the tabletop, wishing he could imagine it was Xiang Qiyan’s face so he could directly have it taken out and burnt.

But the table was just a table, and no matter what, it could not be transformed into the bothersome Xiang Qiyan.

“What are those people good for, finding it so hard to kill someone? I’ve spent so much money, not for them to do nothing!”

“My lord, please calm your anger.”

The guard knelt before Xiang Qifeng.

“According to the message from there, Xiang Qiyan has a woman protecting him, and that woman, she’s using demonic energy.”

“How could it be possible?!”

It was beyond belief for Xiang Qifeng that someone in their Feather Abyss Plane could wield demonic energy.

He understood the implications of such a concept; it meant that person must have descended from Wulong Mountain, yet how could someone from there possibly aid Xiang Qiyan against them?

People from Wulong Mountain have always disregarded the life and death struggles within these planes.

“The Liushang Sect’s people can’t deal with those by Xiang Qiyan’s side, so they’ve come up with such a clumsy excuse, right? Even Wulong Mountain, once people from there return to the planes, can they really still use demonic energy?”

He loudly interrogated his subordinates.

These people, shameless one after another, having botched the job, now desperately sought excuses, even fabricating stories about Wulong Mountain.

“My lord…”

The guard lifted his head, looking at his own lord.

Even if the Liushang Sect wasn’t reliable, they wouldn’t fabricate someone from Wulong Mountain, would they? Besides, who could have expected that a person returning from Wulong Mountain would use demonic energy?

“Are you speaking the truth?”

Xiang Qifeng also calmed down, looking coldly at his subordinate, questioning.

“It’s true, according to the message received, that woman claims to be the High Priest Demon Heart of Wulong Mountain,” the guard added.

“Damn it!”

Upon hearing this, Xiang Qifeng couldn’t help but curse loudly.

Xiang Qiyan must have some incredible luck to have met the High Priest Demon Heart from Wulong Mountain, right?

“Go send a message to the Liushang Sect, tell them to kill Xiang Qiyan at all costs. I’ll offer them double… no, triple the money to ensure that Xiang Qiyan doesn’t return!”

It was bad enough that Xiang Qiyan had gained a strong reputation at Huayan Peak, but how could he also get to know someone from Wulong Mountain, and even the High Priest at that?

“Yes, my lord.”

The guard took the order and left.

Behind him came the sound of a heavy object hitting the floor; Xiang Qifeng had swept everything off the desk onto the ground, his heart filled with an anger only he could fully comprehend.

Since he was young, he had lived in Xiang Qiyan’s shadow. Whenever people mentioned him, they never used his name, only referring to him as Prince Yaan’s younger brother.

He had lived under such a shadow for many years.
