Let go

"Let's go." Seeing Jue Xin looking somewhat possessed, the Black-clothed Short-sleeved Martial Artist patted him on the shoulder and said, "We're leaving now. Do you want to come with us?"

Protecting Jue Xin was a task assigned to him by the Sect. Although he didn't think much of Jue Xin's future now, a Sect task wasn't something that could be abandoned at will.

If the Sect found out he had abandoned Jue Xin to escape alone, he would certainly be punished.

Therefore, even though he had lost two subordinates, he didn't want to give up on Jue Xin unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Let's go." Jue Xin snapped out of it completely after being patted by the Black-clothed Short-sleeved Martial Artist.

Of course he would leave with them. There was an assassin lurking nearby, and the target was him. Wouldn't staying here be suicide?

Even though there was no sign of the Heaven Grade Cultivation Technique now, for his own safety, he naturally had to leave with them.

Moreover, after he got out, he would have to find a way to prevent the assassin from continuing to hunt him.

Being hunted by a Martial Artist who could achieve a Breakthrough to Martial Emperor meant he would be doomed to die.

"Then let's go. You walk in the middle; I believe the assassin won't dare to come over." The Black-clothed Short-sleeved Martial Artist still kept Jue Xin protected in the center of the group. This time, he didn't walk at the very front to scout the path carelessly, but instead formed a circle with everyone and slowly made their way out.

Qin Ming was observing Jue Xin from an empty room using his Heavenly Eye, but when he saw the Black-clothed Short-sleeved Martial Artist leading everyone away, a sense of unease flashed through his heart.

Sure enough, the people of the Iron Luo Sect walked out cautiously; their intention was clearly to leave this place.

Once they left the High Tower, it would be open ground. No matter how powerful he was, it would be impossible to assassinate Jue Xin in an open area.

It would no longer be an assassination but an open assault. Even if he was among the Peak existences of the Martial Kings, he couldn't handle a siege by nine Martial Kings.

An ordinary Martial King who could fight one against three of the same level and maintain a stalemate was already an Elite among Martial Kings.

And for him to be able to handle five Martial Kings of the same level, maintain a stalemate, and even kill an ordinary Martial King at some cost—that was already a Prodigy among Geniuses.

Don't underestimate the addition of two more Martial Kings and think it's no big deal.

With every additional person, the strength of the team doubles; five people working together against one is much more difficult than three Martial Kings.

And the Iron Luo Sect had nine Martial Kings. Unless he refined a Forbidden Magic Pill now and then used a Forbidden Art, he would definitely be unable to defeat them.

"Forget it, Jue Xin is as good as dead. Once I achieve a Breakthrough to the Martial Emperor Realm, no matter where he hides, he's dead. I'll let him live a little longer for now." Qin Ming lowered his head in thought. "Besides, dying like this is too easy for him. He harmed Master so miserably; how can he just die like that? I should hand him over to Master and let Master take his revenge personally."

Thinking of this, Qin Ming did not continue his pursuit.

Letting Jue Xin go and making him live in terror for a while, then capturing him and giving him to Master after his Breakthrough to Martial Emperor—that would be truly satisfying.

This would help his Master's Mental State cultivation and also assist his Master's future Breakthrough to Martial Emperor.

Furthermore, Qin Ming's expectations for his Master were not just the Martial Emperor level. His Master's Talent wasn't bad to begin with, and after taking his heart mending pill, his injuries would heal, and his potential would increase; his future would be limitless.

He didn't want to be like his previous life, standing alone at the Peak of the world, where it's lonely at the top.
