The Ancestor of our Sect Isn’t Acting like an Elder

Chapter 202.2 - Shift, Alkaid No. 3



202.2 – Shift, Alkaid No. 3

It has to be said that Shadow is not only an experienced fighter, but he also came prepared. Although she is a little unreconciled, but Xue Qilin has to admit this.

The reason why Shadow could take the three people on all by himself, and even put them in a disadvantage for a period of time is purely because he formulated an appropriate combat strategy in advance.

Among the three people, Xue Qilin and Gong Jing are regarded as straightforward combatants, and their skills are a bit lacking. He can easily restrain them by relying on his movement style. Luo Hong, since he is from the same sect, he is fairly familiar with him and can deal with him well. Therefore, he placed Luo Hong as his first target.

As for the other two, he thinks that Xue Qilin’s unpredictable magic is more of a threat to him. As a result, after he injured Luo Hong, he immediately launched a fierce attack against the lass to contain her.

— this strategy, though simple, is very effective.

For Xue Qilin, the most important part was his response to her attack.

He must have been aware that his breath has been locked on, that no matter how he dodged, he would be hit by the spell in the next moment.

Therefore, he waited — waited for the moment when the flame spears were launched.

Because its trajectory is fixed. an arrow that has been shot is not scary.

What’s really scary is an arrow on the bowstring. As long as the arrow does not leave the bowstring, it has infinite possible trajectories, including those that pass through you.

Once the flame spears are fired, he can dodge according to their trajectory. He also expected for Xue Qilin’s spell to possess tremendous power. Using the fallout of the spell as a cover, he finally escaped without a trace.

No wonder he is hailed as the No. 1 assassin in the Hua Dynasty… Upon analyzing Shadow’s combat strategy, Xue Qilin couldn’t help sighing secretly.

However, there is something she can’t understand — why Shadow appeared here and attacked them.

If it was to assassinate one of the three people present, then even if he was a fool, he would never have chosen to do what he did just now, not to mention that he is no fool.

If he waited for the battle between Xue Qilin and the other two to start, he could seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack. If he had enough patience, he could have even waited until the end of the battle, when the three people have spent a lot of strength, to launch a sudden attack. In any case, the two situations would have been much more advantageous to him.

Given this, Xue Qilin thinks that Shadow didn’t come here for the purpose of assassination. She concluded that the other party should have another objective.

“Oh, I hadn’t thought of it! Perhaps he had a sudden impulse to exercise his body…”

Xue Qilin pouted unhappily and landed on the ground.

Then, the situation became awkward.

Is the fight still going to take place? Xue Qilin glanced at Gong Jing and Luo Hong. Suddenly, she didn’t know how to approach this question

They noticed the gaze that landed on them and looked back. Judging by the complicated expression in their eyes, the two seem to be in the same predicament as Xue Qilin.

If it wasn’t for Shadow’s abrupt intervention, Xue Qilin might have already started a fight with them. However, just a moment ago, they joined hands to repel Shadow. It’s hard for Xue Qilin to switch gears and point her sword at Luo Hong and Gong Jing.

Having said that, Xue Qilin won’t back down either. She must take Gong Tianqing away today. She can’t wait any longer.

This is perhaps a blessing.

At this time, a team of neatly dressed soldiers rushed into the courtyard. In fact, they have been staying outside the courtyard since earlier. However, since there was no room for them to intervene in the battle just now, they didn’t set foot into the courtyard until now.

In addition to a few members of the State Guard, the rest are probably all Gong Jing’s private soldiers. It’s not surprising that he has a certain number of private soldiers in the Gong Clan.

When these people saw the terrible state of the courtyard, they were obviously shocked. Xue Qilin could even hear thoughts such as “how did this happen” being voiced, which made her, the main culprit behind this mess, feel a little embarrassed.

At that time, she didn’t think much about it. She just wanted to give the uninvited guest, Shadow, a heavy blow, and thus ended up bombing a corner of the Gong Clan into ruins.

Won’t the Gong Clan have to pay for it? Xue Qilin had this untimely thought.

Meanwhile, the soldiers have surrounded Xue Qilin in and orderly and rapid fashion. They have grim expressions, as if facing a great enemy. They are clearly rather apprehensive of Xue Qilin.

Although they are not many, only 30 people, but the crossbows in their hands can still give Xue Qilin a lot of trouble.

“This is troublesome…”

Xue Qilin looked around and scoffed.

Next, her eyes fell on a soldier who isn’t involved in her encirclement. He is probably a leader or something. His clothes are a bit different from those of the other soldiers.

When this soldier came into the courtyard, he headed straight for Gong Jing. Xue Qilin saw that he has a dignified look on his face and is moving urgently. It appears that he has something important to report to Gong Jing.

Sure enough, when he stopped in front of Gong Jing, he whispered something in Gong Jing’s ear. Xue Qilin could only vaguely hear some content.

Xue Qilin suddenly raised her eyebrows. She heard the words “Young Lady”, which is likely referring to Gong Tianqing.

Gong Jing’s eyes widened after listening to the soldier’s whispers.

What happened to Little Qing? Xue Qilin suddenly had a bad premonition.

“Really?”

After spacing out for a short moment, Gong Jing asked the soldier in a deep voice.

The soldier looked at Xue Qilin hesitantly. When he heard Gong Jing say “it’s okay”, he nodded. Upon getting his answer, Gong Jing’s face sank at once.

“Give chase!”

Gong Jing just said two words in an unquestionable tone.

The soldiers clasped his hands gravely, and then left the courtyard with the soldiers that surrounded Xue Qilin like a tide. The State Guard members looked at one another, confused.

What happened? Xue Qilin gazed at Gong Jing with an inquisitive expression in her eyes. Luo Hong seems to have the same misgivings.

Due to standing next to Gong Jing, he asked directly, “Great General Gong, did something happen?”

Gong Jing, who has wrinkled his eyebrows deeply, didn’t answer the question. Instead, he looked at Xue Qilin and uttered, “Lady Xue, please come here to talk.”

When she heard Gong Jing invitation, the bad premonition in Xue Qilin’s heart intensified.

There’s a situation!

This thought grew strong unrestrainedly, urging Xue Qilin to walk over.

“Lady Xue, this old one is really sorry.”

“Cut the nonsense and get to the point.”

Feeling irritable, Xue Qilin doesn’t want to hear Gong Jing’s apology.

She is impatient to learn what happened and whether it has something to do with Gong Tianqing. She doesn’t want to waste time.

“This old one…

Next, there was a brief silence, which felt long and uncomfortable.

“– Qing’er has been abducted.”

Due to this short and comprehensive sentence, Xue Qilin felt dizzy and almost collapsed on the ground.

Little Qing was abducted?

These words reverberated in her mind.
