Secular Immortal of the Nine Realms Chapter 196: The Way Out

“He’s conscience-stricken,” Li Xiuming sneered.

He had been keeping an eye on Chaoxianggong Nisheng’s condition, but it was a pity that he was far too weakened to kill her in front of Xia Yun and the others.

“Conscience-stricken?” Li Daoye sneered. “What reason do I have to feel conscience stricken? Young master Fang earned these ki stones with his life! He sacrificed himself to lure that black-cloaked man away to save us. These belong to him. They have nothing to do with you!”
