Chapter 263 - Jiang Wei Makes A Move

The bandits and mercenaries that had gathered together had not gotten full understanding of the entourage they had encircled.

They assumed that it was the average group of merchants, and that they could earn enough wealth to offset the cost of life they would have to sacrifice during the battle.

However, while this might have been the case if Bai Rouyun and the experts from the Eternal Shadow Palace had not been present, things were different now.

Bai Rouyun’s eyes were flashing with unhappiness, and while she wondered how to handle these bandits, Jiang Wei gracefully straightened his back and disembarked the carriage.

The graceful steps were eye catching, as everyone was tense.

"Your words sound righteous, but your actions are sinful. While you claim to follow this path for the sake of survival, it is still a conscious decision you made.

"Everyone has a choice on how to live, and looking at your garments and stature, it does not seem as if you had no other choice than to rob others of their life and wealth to survive."

The group of comrades that traveled alongside Bai Rouyun were all feeling somewhat uncomfortable with Jiang Wei’s words. It was clear that he was taunting these bandits, and the only outcome they could foresee would be the criminals getting enraged and becoming fiercer.

They all understood that Bai Rouyun was not likely to encounter any danger during this holdup, but while the experts of the Eternal Shadow Palace would protect her, the rest of them were not certain to have the same fortune.

If they were forgotten in this horde of bandits, it would be questionable whether or not they could protect their own lives.

While they were all at a higher rank than these thugs when it came to cultivation, they were at a great disadvantage due to the sheer number of people.

The Blue Water Institute was not so famous that the experts studying there would be considered true geniuses, and thus, while they were superior to the average cultivator, the difference was not enough to offset the downsides.

This was also what had caused the worry and fear to grow in these experts’ minds, but they had not expected Jiang Wei’s actions.

"My mistress has informed me that she finds your behavior and attitude of pushing away all responsibility hypocritical, and it has made her feel uncomfortable, so I have promised to solve this trouble that has appeared in front of her."

As soon as Jiang Wei had finished speaking, he stepped towards the group of bandits that were blocking their path, and he calmly raised his hand.

The heaven and earth essence within the air began to move, and the atmosphere became tense but excited.

It was as if the aura itself could cause all surrounding energy to feel a certain kind of expectation, and Jiang Wei did not let them down.

By the time his hand has been stretched out right in front of him, he lifted the corner of his lip into a smirk and said "boom" while clenching his fist.

As the fist was clenched, and the word escaped his lips, the whole group in front of him suddenly exploded into a mass of blood and flesh.

The gory sight caused the entire group of experts and bandits present to freeze in fear. Their hearts palpitated and their pupils contracted at the same time as a cold sweat appeared on their backs.

"Well then, let us continue."

Jiang Wei’s abilities were way above anyone else present, and Bai Rouyun saw everything that happened as she had raised the carriage curtain to witness his actions.

Upon seeing the gruesome scene in front of her, she did not show any discomfort or fear;l instead, she raised an eyebrow in appreciation.

Such a man was at least as strong as her husband, so why was he lurking inside the Eternal Shadow Palace without showing a hint towards his purpose?

The strength he was showing did not cause her to feel fear, in fact, it made her feel even more at peace.

With such overwhelming strength, he could wipe out the Eternal Shadow Palace if he so wished, but he had not done so, so she could only assume that he had no enmity with them.

Since this was the case, she did not fear him, but she did feel admiration towards him. His strength was truly above all others, and she could sense how steady and pure the energy he had used was, so he was clearly not even at the end of his path of cultivation.

Her admiration was naturally only an admiration for his abilities as a fellow expert. She did not look at him as a man, only as an expert who had managed to work hard and achieved a great level of success. Such success was what she herself hoped to achieve, so those who had managed to get so far were naturally very admirable in her eyes.

Jiang Wei could sense her admiration, and his lips curled into a smile. Bai Rouyun’s reaction had indeed made him satisfied.

He had long wished to show off his prowess to see whether or not she would become more alert and defensive towards him, or if she would realize the truth and accept his assistance, but not try to pry into his purpose at the same time.

From her current reaction he understood her stance.

She had accepted that he was an entity that she could not control, and thus she had no intention to try and meddle into his affairs. All she did was to accept the benefits she got by giving him a place to lurk.
