Bab 688: Kill Me

After fleeing for a few days straight and making sure he was safe, Chi Tong finally felt at ease. At this point in time, his face no longer possessed the look of insufferable arrogance. The escape he made was a humiliation to his proud self. But so what? It was natural for someone to flee when he or she encountered danger, be it a demon, a god, or a human. Pride had no place in a matter of life and death.

Chi Tong was filled with vigilance against the mysterious Assembly of Patriarchs.

He had a premonition that the Assembly of Patriarchs had some kind of method to restrain him. He did not believe Hong Rongyan's words on the collaboration. To Chi Tong, Hong Rongyan's "collaboration" was merely an excuse to entice him. Chi Tong even came up with many possible "reasons" to support this idea. For example, the Assembly of Patriarchs's unique methods could only be executed when they were close to him.
