This sudden turn of events left Yu Yaoguang and Miao Feichan stunned, their gazes instinctively turning to Fang Shuwen.
They found him just as shocked as they were...
Fang Shuwen was sure he didn't know the man, so he kept his distance and called out,
"Who are you?"
The man opened his mouth to speak, but his face suddenly went pale. With a sickening SPURT, he coughed up a large mouthful of blood.
He struggled to stay on his feet and managed to force out the words:
"It... was the Young Venerable... who sent me..."
He had barely spoken those seven words before his eyes rolled back in his head and he collapsed.
When Fang Shuwen heard the words "Young Venerable," one person immediately came to mind.
The Celestial Qilin Sword... Chen Qi!
In all his time wandering the Jianghu, he was the only person Fang Shuwen had met who went by the title of Young Venerable.
"He's one of Chen Qi's men?"
The words had barely left his lips as he appeared before the fallen man.
