Chapter 70 - 70 Diary
70 Diary
At the entrance of the Shi family residence, this sudden scene caught both sides off guard.
It was just a little silver, why did he have to risk his life?
How much could dignity be worth?
Zhang Zhushi watched as the young man held the dagger and charged at him like a madman. However, he did not have any intention of fighting back in his confusion. He subconsciously wanted to dodge and then subdue him.
Even now, he was still trying to avoid this conflict. He was just a teenager who was impulsive. As long as he did not kill anyone, there was still room for redemption.
“Silver is the most important thing. Maybe I can extort more,” Zhang Zhushi thought to himself as he dodged.
However, in the next moment, Zhang Zhushi felt that something was wrong.
He had just dodged a step when the dagger seemed to follow him like a shadow, stabbing at his body.
The young man from the Shi family still had a crazed look on his face, as if he did not care about anything else, and his steps seemed to be a little unstable.
“Could it be a coincidence?” Zhang Zhushi did not have time to think and continued to dodge to the side.
“I’m a martial artist. How can I be hurt by a little kid. This is not good!”
The dagger stabbed into his chest and was pulled out in an instant, bringing with it a string of blood.
The entire place was silent. The Shi family members looked as if they had seen a ghost. Shi Junrong had never practiced martial arts. How did he hurt a martial artist?
“Y-You…!” Zhang Zhushi’s eyes suddenly widened, realizing that this guy was definitely not an ordinary person.
This blade was so fast that even he did not have time to react.
A bolt of lightning flashed through Zhang Zhushi’s mind. Everything just now was an act! His purpose was to kill him and provoke a conflict between the Green Mountain Army and the Shi family.
Zhang Zhushi was about to say something, but the young man stabbed him with the dagger in his hand. In a few breaths, Zhang Zhushi was turned into a b.l.o.o.d.y mess.
“I’ll stab you to death! I’ll stab you to death!” the teenager was shouting randomly as he stabbed him.
Blood was stuck in his throat, and in the end, he could not say anything.
“Hahaha! I’ve made the Shi family proud.”
Shi Junrong threw away the dagger and ran madly on the street. He raised his head and laughed. His mouth kept shouting nonsense, as if he had gone mad. The people on both sides were so scared that they did not dare move.
The man in charge of the Shi family was stunned for a moment before his expression changed. “This is not good! Quickly bring him back.”
However, in just a short moment, that crazy “Shi Junrong” had already disappeared without a trace.
“How dare you! Just wait for our revenge!”
As for the remaining Green Mountain Army soldiers who had lost their leader, their eyes were filled with panic. After saying a few harsh words, they carried Zhang Zhushi’s body and quickly fled.
“This is big trouble!” Everyone from the Shi family looked at each other, their faces dark.
The Green Mountain Army had been defeated, and the Shi family had to face the Imperial Army’s wrath. However, after today’s chaos, the relationship between the Shi family and the Green Mountain Army had been completely broken.
When the defeated Green Mountain Army pa.s.sed by Great Cloud City, it would be hard to say what the situation would be.
“Also, what did he shout just now? Who taught him that?” an elder of the Shi family suddenly asked in a deep voice, unable to suppress his anger.
“About killing the mayor and stuff? We didn’t even do half of those things.”
This branch of the Shi family was located in the middle of Peace Town. There were many people on the streets just now, and the news here would soon spread to the town and the prefecture. The Shi family would make countless enemies overnight and become an enemy that everyone wanted to kill.
“Even if the Shi family claimed that they had not done those things, with the Shi family’s past reputation. I’m afraid no one will believe us.”
The doubt in the Shi family elder’s eyes grew stronger and stronger!
Shi Junrong had never bothered with other people’s business and only messed around with women. When did he become so hot-blooded? And he had actually stabbed a martial artist to death. How could he do something like this?
“Something’s wrong. Quickly go to Shi Junrong’s room and take a look!” His expression changed greatly as he suddenly shouted.
The others were stunned for a moment, then seemed to react as well. Their expressions changed and they rushed to the backyard.
A moment later, the group of people stared at the two bodies on the bed, and their expressions were extremely ugly.
If Shi Junrong was here, then who the h.e.l.l was the Shi Junrong who was shouting just now?

At the base of the Green Mountain Army, a few soldiers carried the body of Zhang Zhushi back and were discussing in a low voice whether they should pack up the gold and silver and escape.
“Anyway, I heard that the soldiers at the front have been defeated, and Chief Zhang is dead. Let’s each take a share of the money and escape far away to enjoy our lives.”
“Yeah. Let’s do this.”
They immediately became excited.
However, when they entered the courtyard, they were instantly stunned.
In the courtyard, there were a few corpses of soldiers lying all over the place. Some boxes in the base were scattered all over the place. The gold, silver, and treasures that they had collected with great difficulty had all been plundered.
“Who the h.e.l.l did this?” They wanted to cry but had no tears. They had worked so hard to steal for so long, but they had lost it all.

It was late at night.
“Zhang Zhushi is quite rich!” Jiang Ming sat on the bed and opened a package. He slowly counted his gains this time.
All kinds of gold, silver, and jewelry were piled up. Jiang Ming estimated that they were worth at least three thousand taels of silver in total. It seemed that he would not have to worry about the money for medicine and ingredients in the short term.
“There’s also a book. Let’s see what it says.” Jiang Ming picked up a nameless black leather-bound book. It was adorned with jewelry, so it was probably important.
Could it be some secret martial arts technique?
Jiang Ming opened it and looked, but he was dumbfounded, “A diary? Who the h.e.l.l keeps a diary these days?”
He continued reading patiently.
“It was the 23rd year of the Great Yan Dynasty, in the red pine snowfield of North Peace County. I wanted to visit the master of martial arts, Bai Mo, and explore the secret of the sword chime in the empty valley deep in the snowfield. The extremely cold Qi was getting worse. I haven’t entered the deepest part.”
“It was the thirty-first year of the Great Yan Dynasty, in the Nine Dragon Lake in Jiangnan City. I was looking for the legendary spirit stone in the lake to no avail.”
“It was the 60th year of the Great Yan Dynasty, I became a Grandmaster. I want to enter Great Cloud City’s Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest to see the secret of the birth of fire cloud gra.s.s and see the King of Medicine. I followed it deep into the forest… They were just a bunch of ordinary insects…”
“It was the 93rd year of the Great Yan Dynasty. My life which was extended by the King of Medicine was finally coming to an end. Where are the immortals? Do immortals really exist in this world?”
