589 It Would Really Overturn Them
That was because the Auspicious Cloud Sea-Devouring Python was too powerful. No one could afford to offend it.
Yet it emerged today, and of all the places it could have gone, it chose Camp Zhan Yun. He did not believe it was a coincidence.
How could there be such a coincidence in this world? It must be intentional.
…
An Jiuyue prepared a delicious spread of food in her space and placed it in her tent.
She started stewing soup again—fresh pheasant mushroom soup—which was very fragrant.
Wei Na had already transformed into his human form.
He stood behind An Jiuyue and muttered, “Master, don’t you think the python’s appearance is too coincidental? You just arrived, and it arrived too? This is not something that has happened before, right?”
He felt that this was not a coincidence—it had been planned.
“Could Ye Chenglin be behind this?”
An Jiuyue was speechless.
She held a spoon in her hand and looked up at the ceiling.
Isn’t Wei Na overestimating Ye Chenglin? Would Qian Jiyun throw her to the Spirit Severing Cliff if she could control an Auspicious Cloud Sea-Devouring Python?
She could have rebelled and established her own camp. Why should she suffer instead?
“Do you think Ye Chenglin can control an Auspicious Cloud Sea-Devouring Python?” she asked faintly.
“Uh…” Wei Na was taken aback by his bold guess.
That’s right. Camp Zhan Yun would have been overturned if that woman was truly that capable. Would it remain safe until now?
She would not have remained a subordinate, even if she had served a male master. That woman would have forced Qian Jiyun to marry her long ago. It was possible, right?
After all, this was a world where strength mattered.
“You’re right. That’s a stretch.” He nodded.
“But who else could it be? Is it a coincidence that the big guy happened to run in our direction? I don’t think so. I think it’s intelligent,” he continued.
Could such a coincidence occur? He was skeptical.
“I don’t know.” An Jiuyue shrugged, indicating she did not want to care.
She could not care less about the origins of the Auspicious Cloud Sea-Devouring Python. She only hoped that it would not come again. Everyone was already exhausted after today. If it returned, it would really overturn them.
…
The area near the camp where the Auspicious Cloud Sea-Devouring Python’s enormous body had swept by was in disarray.
When Qian Jiyun returned, the people from the other camps had already left. Only the guardians of Camp Zhan Yun were cleaning up the place.
There were small demonic beasts around initially, but now only corpses remained. The trees around them were scattered everywhere.
“Master, we’re discussing whether we should clear all these trees.” A guardian walked over and asked Qian Jiyun when he saw him.
Aside from Flaming Jade, trees were the most commonly used combustible materials for cooking.
They had to spend Original Soul Stones to buy Flaming Jade, so they were always reluctant to use it for cooking.
They had to gather the wood now that so much of it was lying around.
Even if they did not gather them, people from the other camps would take everything in two days. Everyone on Huayan Peak wanted to cut spending wherever possible.
“Pack them up when you’re free.”
Qian Jiyun looked at the mess in front of him and sighed softly.
