Chapter 317: You Lied To Me!
Teng Hejing’s expression changed drastically.
“What do you mean they all disappeared?”
Suppressing his shock and anger, Teng Hejing growled lowly, “Didn’t we lock onto the barbarians’ hiding place long ago?
“Even if the Jia fellow secretly moved them, they must still be in the manor!
“Search! Dig three feet into the ground and search carefully!
!!
“Those barbarians must still be in the manor!”
Teng Hejing ordered, his voice echoing in the ears of his subordinates.
“Yes!”
“Understood!”
The Martial Suppression Office members calmed themselves down and spread out to search inch-by-inch.
But the outcome was far from rea.s.suring.
It was either “nothing”, “no discoveries”, or “we can’t find them”.
They searched everywhere in the huge Jia Family manor, but there were no signs of the barbarians.
Teng Hejing’s expression turned uglier and uglier.
Relying on his past prestige, he could hold things down for a while.
However, if he ultimately failed to find the barbarians, he would be dead meat.
The Jia Family’s backer’s wouldn’t need to make a move, the Martial Suppression Office’s headquarters would cripple him.
Moving guns and cannons into the city and besieging a martial arts family with a legacy of more than a hundred years for no reason, causing the entire city to panic.
Teng Hejing could not bear this responsibility, but his backer could. However, the Yu Nation was not theirs to decide.
Without evidence, Teng Hejing would only be abandoned.
What should I do?
“Hahaha…”
A weak but carefree voice sounded. Jia Shangshu endured the pain in his body and laughed excitedly. “Teng Hejing, where’s the evidence? You slandered the Jia Family for colluding with the barbarians. Where’s the evidence? Without evidence, you destroyed the Jia Family. You are dead meat! You and your people are dead meat! Your entire family will die with us! Hahaha…”
Teng Hejing’s face was ashen. He gritted his teeth and remained silent.
If he couldn’t find any barbarians, everything he said would be useless.
It was 100% certain that there were barbarians in the Jia Family’s manor. There were many of them.
Even if the Jia Family had secretly moved them, it was impossible for them to do so completely at once.
They must still be here!
However, the problem was that Teng Hejing did not have that much time to search slowly.
If they did not find them before nightfall, the faction behind the Jia Family would come knocking on their door.
At that time…
Boom!
A thunderclap suddenly erupted in the sky.
A sword pillar wrapped in lightning spun through the air and descended from the sky.
Before anyone could react, it struck a training ground in the northwest corner of the Jia Family’s manor.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sword beam was like a blazing sun, and the sword energy was sharp.
Amidst the intense trembling, the sword pillar tore through the ground and burrowed into the ground like a high frequency electric drill.
When the electric arcs stopped and the light dissipated, the sword pillar turned into a stream of light and flew back into the horizon.
A hole about five meters in diameter was left behind. The walls were smooth and more than a hundred meters deep.
A hundred meters below, a corner of a s.p.a.cious underground s.p.a.ce that was flickering with electric sparks and electric arcs appeared.
“Commander Teng, go down and see if the barbarians are inside.”
A calm voice sounded. Su Jingxing stepped in the empty air and walked down step by step.
“Good… good!”
Teng Hejing came back to his senses with a stammer. He took a deep breath, threw Jia Shangshu aside with an excited expression, and leaped into the air, pouncing towards the training ground.
“How… how is this possible…”
Jia Shangshu’s face was pale, and his eyes were filled with fear, shock, and disbelief.
“How does this person know? How does this person know? How?!”
Jia Shangshu’s body suddenly trembled. He felt as if he had fallen into a ten-thousand-year-old ice cave.
“Hahaha!”
Teng Hejing’s excited laughter came from the northwest corner and echoed in the air above the Jia Family’s residence.
“Found it, we found the barbarians! All the barbarians are down there!”
Whoosh!
A commotion broke out inside and outside the Jia Family’s manor. The discussions were heated.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The people from the major factions in Anyang City could no longer hold back. They pa.s.sed through the light barrier that had disappeared and entered the Jia Family’s manor. They headed straight for the training ground in the northwest corner and jumped into the hole.
Barbarian! Barbarian! Barbarian!
There were barbarians everywhere.
In this s.p.a.cious underground s.p.a.ce a hundred meters beneath the surface, barbarians were everywhere.
Some had just woken up and were snarling as they attacked.
Some were in deep sleep with a few tubes attached to their bodies.
Some were broken into several pieces by the excited Teng Hejing.
In short, there were more than a hundred barbarians gathered in the huge underground s.p.a.ce.
The evidence of the Jia Family colluding with the barbarians had been found, and it was irrefutable evidence!
Ironclad proof that no matter who the backer of the Jia Family was, would not be able to clear up, nor would they dare to.
So many barbarians had appeared in Anyang City and were hidden under the Jia Family’s manor.
The meaning it represented was too important. It had already been exposed.
“The Jia Family is finished.”
“Heh, they could have been finished long ago.”
“I’m curious, when did the Jia Family get so many barbarians?”
“Most importantly, these barbarians are all wearing mechanical battle armor. What is the Jia Family up to?”
“Everyone, stop watching the show. Kill these barbarians first!”
“I’m more than happy to. Tsk tsk, barbarians in mechanical battle armor. Ordinary sixth-grade martial artists probably won’t be a match for them.”
Bam! Bam!
Boom!
Accompanied by the conversations, the sound of fighting and angry roars could be heard in the underground s.p.a.ce.
…
Su Jingxing, who had descended from the sky, extracted card after card.
Su Jingxing slowly floated to Jia Shangshu’s side. Looking down from above, he asked curiously, “Who’s behind you? Which faction in the capital?”
Jia Shangshu did not respond. He only stared at Su Jingxing with wide eyes, panting heavily.
“I’m just curious.”
Su Jingxing said calmly, “Even if you don’t tell me, I will find out who it is. It’s just a pity that you’re still keeping secrets for the people behind you when you’re about to die.”
“Or do you think they can save you? Protect your family?”
“In this situation where a large number of barbarians have been found, will they stand against everyone in the country for you?”
Jia Shangshu closed his eyes in agony.
After a while, he growled, “Tell me how you knew where the barbarians were hidden, and I’ll answer you, who’s my backer!”
“Jiang Jiuyang,” Su Jingxing answered cooperatively.
“…Who?”
Jia Shangshu was stunned. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, “Who did you say it was?”
“Jiang Jiuyang.” Su Jingxing held back his laughter. “He was the one who told me where the barbarians were hidden.”
“Impossible!”
Jia Shangshu’s eyes were red as he panted. “It’s impossible for Jiang Jiuyang to know where the barbarians are! He’s just a dog of the Jia Family. Although I gave him a barbarian to cooperate with us, he never knew where the barbarians were truly hidden!”
“You lied to me! A dignified third-grade expert who can penetrate a hundred meters into the ground with a single sword strike actually knows how to fool people and deceive me!”
“…I’m not lying.”
Su Jingxing chuckled. “Jiang Jiuyang was really the one who told me. He hooked up with your cousin, Jia Xiaoqing. Through your cousin, he learned where you hid most of the barbarians.”
“…”
Pu!
