Bab 1525: Thought

Xie Miao diligently traced the signs left by Qiao Xuan and soon located the group on their way back.

With skills surpassing theirs, he expertly concealed himself and caught them off guard. Swiftly deploying poisonous hidden weapons, he killed two instantly and left two injured before they could recover from their initial shock. By the time the last one attempted to flee, Xie Miao swiftly caught up and dispatched him with a single strike.

Glancing at the fallen six, Xie Miao nonchalantly sheathed his sword. In the desolate mountains with few inhabitants and scant decent paths, the remains would be swiftly claimed by the voracious beasts. There was no need for him to trouble himself with cleaning up the aftermath.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Qiao Xuan's account to Xie Jingrong was truthful, and there was no reason to doubt her words.
