Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

Chapter 1679: Chapter 1679: Surprisingly Not Frozen

Do they really see profit as worthless in their eyes? Must they protect a disabled Xiang Qiyan at all costs?

“You… Just wait, puh!”

He opened his mouth toward the Paper Person, spat out four words, then another mouthful of black blood followed.

“Sect leader, what do we do now?”

The assassin who had saved him asked anxiously.

With the sect leader in this condition, it was clear he was poisoned. If even the sect leader had succumbed, let alone them, if not now, then when was the time to leave?

“Retreat!”

The purple-robed person took a deep breath, begrudgingly letting out one word.

What else could be done if not retreat? Kill Xiang Qiyan? With these two people around, killing Xiang Qiyan was impossible.

Seeing the number of his people dwindling, he had no choice but to consider a temporary retreat, waiting for another opportunity to strike.

“Retreat, everyone retreat!”

The assassin, supporting the purple-robed person with one hand, looked up and shouted to the assassins engaged in combat.

Upon hearing the order to retreat, the assassins paused momentarily but quickly realized what was happening. They stopped entangling with the Su Tang’s guards and prepared to leave.

But leaving was not going to be easy.

Zhan Beiye had long planned to ensure the Liushang Sect’s people wouldn’t return from this venture. If they were allowed to escape now, who knew when the next conspiracy would be waiting for them?

“Kill, leave none behind.”

This familiar command came from his mouth.

Su Tang nodded at him and then instructed the guards. This time, they had to ensure none from the Liushang Sect could leave, not even one.

Those who intended to escape were unable to leave; the chaos erupted anew.

Initially, it was the assassins hunting Su Tang’s guards, but now the roles were reversed, and the assassins found themselves in a passive state.

Upon witnessing this, the already poisoned purple-robed person staggered, nearly collapsing to the ground. He was fortunately propped up by his subordinate, averting any loss of dignity, but now was not the time to worry about composure.

If they couldn’t leave smoothly, it was very likely they would all meet their end here.

He had to think of a way!

…

Meanwhile, as the fierce fight unfolded below, Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue had successfully reached the peak of Jade Cloud Mountain.

Just as they reached the summit, they saw a giant python coiled not far ahead, with thin layers of ice on its body; its forked tongue was still flickering.

“It’s not frozen.”

An Jiuyue made a remark, only to be pulled behind Qian Jiyun.

“You gather the herbs, I’ll deal with it,” he said.

“Alright.”

An Jiuyue didn’t argue with him; dealing with snakes was naturally Qian Jiyun’s job, while she…

Her gaze fell upon the small pits not far away, each containing a fiery red Cold Soul Flower Core, bursting with brilliant color.

“Be careful, I’m going to gather herbs.”

After saying that, she stepped towards the pit closest to her.

“Ssss, ssssss.”

The python’s hiss sounded out, along with the noise of ice cracking.

How could the python let others take away what it relied on for survival? It broke through the ice layer and lunged at An Jiuyue. Qian Jiyun, with one hand, concentrated Original Soul energy and struck towards the python’s head with a One Palm Strike.

Sensing the lethal intent, the python instinctively swerved to the side, evading Qian Jiyun’s strike.

It missed its desired attack on An Jiuyue because of this move and was then blocked by Qian Jiyun, losing sight of An Jiuyue who had already reached the Cold Soul Flower Core.
