Legend of the Great Sage Chapter 274 - Seed of Suggestion

Qiu Haitang’s finger paused. Her long nail had already made contact with Qian Rongzhi’s skin. All she needed was another moment, and she would have pierced Qian Rongzhi’s brain.

Qian Rongzhi remained in a trance, as if she could not feel the tightening veils around her.

Qiu Haitang smiled in a self-deprecating manner. Her two miscalculations today actually made her doubt her arts of mesmerisation slightly, but how could a mere sixth layer Qi Practitioner resist her mesmerisation?

Then she asked, “And how did the two grannies of the East and West Gates die?”

Not only had she been expelled from the Sect of Clouds and Rain already, but even if she was still a part of the sect, she could only call her sect master.

As a technique that placed great emphasis on talent, the fact that it had been passed down through the ages without becoming lost only demonstrated how impressive it was.

Qiu Haitang said, “Should I thank you?”
