Chapter 843: Tying Up Loose Ends
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Wan’er’s bravery astonished many members of the Five Tigers Sect. Everyone knew that Fu Yu was not a nice person and was a malicious b*tch. Over the past few years, she had committed countless evil deeds. However, although they knew it in their hearts, no one dared to point it out. After all, this mysterious shadow was too frightening. Who dared to simply speak up at this moment?
“Oh?”
The mysterious shadow turned to look at Fu Yu. A curious look flashed subconsciously in his eyes. He knew the character of this little girl, Wan’er. For her to say such things about a person, this Fu Yu most likely was rotten to her very core.
Prior to this, he had not paid much attention to this woman. He had only considered her to be one of Yang Gongcheng’s henchmen.
“Little b*tch, stop spouting nonsense.”
As she was blocked by Wan’er, Fu Yu’s expression changed drastically. She began to shout sternly at Wan’er. Fu Yu had not expected that Wan’er would actually have the courage to do this. Usually, Wan’er was very honest. Right now, she had dared to step out and express herself. Why hadn’t Fu Yu killed this little b*tch already?
“Who are you snapping at?”
The mysterious shadow struck Fu Yu across the face. With a slap, Fu Yu was sent flying dozens of meters and fell hard onto the ground.
Fu Yu was terrified as she crawled up from the ground trembling. She loudly said, “Senior, don’t believe what she says. She is spouting nonsense. I was forced to do so. Everything I did was ordered by Yang Gongcheng. I did not want to do so, but I had no choice. If I did not carry out his wishes, he would have killed me.”
Upon hearing this, the members of the Five Tigers Sect rolled their eyes. Everyone knew that because of her G.o.dfather Yang Gongcheng, Fu Yu was usually arrogant and despotic. With such a person backing her, she had committed countless heinous acts.
Now that Yang Gongcheng was dead, this woman immediately pushed all the responsibility for her actions onto him. If Yang Gongcheng knew about this, he would most likely not have been beaten to death by the mysterious shadow, but died due to the anger he felt toward this woman.
“If I don’t believe her, could it be that you expect me to believe you?” the mysterious shadow asked indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Fu Yu was stunned for a moment, but she immediately reacted. This mysterious man had most likely appeared here to rescue this little b*tch. If the little b*tch wanted to kill Fu Yu, it most likely boded ill rather than well for her.
After realizing this problem, Fu Yu’s face turned pale. No matter how she wracked her brain, she could not understand how this little b*tch Su Wan’er could possibly have such a person protecting her.
“Wan’er, all that happened back then was truly not my fault. It was all Yang Gongcheng’s fault. He ordered me to commit those acts. Yang Gongcheng was not a good person. Such grievances should be avenged. Back then, your father defeated the Baili Sect during the battle between sects, causing Yang Gongcheng to lose face and hence harbor hatred in his heart. That is why he schemed to kill your parents. Think about it! How could a woman like me, without ability or authority, possibly be able to harm your father?”
“You must believe me. Over these past few years, I have indeed done many evil deeds, but it was all because that old thing Yang Gongcheng forced me to do so. I deeply regret it. I did not want to do it. But I am just a weak woman. What else could I have done?”
As she spoke, Fu Yu wiped away her own tears with her sleeve. She put on a look to suggest she had been very sad and pained these past few years.
“It is you who killed my parents, you venomous woman.” Wan’er’s expression was staunch. She firmly believed that Fu Yu was the enemy who killed her parents. Normally she never brought this matter up, even feigning ignorance, but in her heart, she knew it clearer than anyone else.
“Regardless of whether you were framed or not, since she wants you to die, you must die.”
The mysterious shadow was too lazy to bother with Fu Yu’s excuses. He waved his hand and a beam of light crashed into Fu Yu’s body. Her body exploded upon contact with the light and became a b.l.o.o.d.y mist.
The stench of blood lingered around the entire Five Tigers Sect. The square was extremely silent. No one dared to speak nor utter any sound.
Right now, everyone understood that this mysterious shadow had most likely appeared here due to Su Wan’er. Just for her alone, he had killed so many people. The looks that many people gave Su Wan’er had already changed completely. They even had looks of respect in their eyes. Su Wan’er was not frightening, but with such a fierce person protecting her, she was terrifying.
Some people who were familiar with Su Wan’er were frantically guessing what the relations.h.i.+p between Su Wan’er and this mysterious shadow was. However, no matter how they tried to guess, they had no clue. She was just an outer-sect disciple in the sect and had never left the Taihang Mountains. How could she possibly have any relations.h.i.+p with such a person?
After dealing with the members of the Baili Sect, the mysterious shadow did not leave immediately. Instead, he slowly looked at the members of the Five Tigers Sect.
The group of Five Tigers Sect members saw that the mysterious shadow was looking over at them. One by one, they turned as white as a sheet. Could it be that this killing machine still wanted to act against the Five Tigers Sect?
Some people were already wracking their brains to try to recall whether they had ever hurt Su Wan’er. They were afraid that they had unintentionally done something to offend her.
Xie Rengui’s expression changed slightly. He also could not figure out why the mysterious man was looking at the members of the Five Tigers Sect. Su Wan’er was just an outer-sect disciple and was considered to be at the lowest level. Usually, the conflicts of the sect would not involve her at all. In reality, there weren’t many who would go out of their way to trouble an outer-sect disciple.
“There is a Sect Younger Uncle Yuan in your Five Tigers Sect. Not long ago, he used a fake prescription to swindle an heirloom left to Wan’er’s by her mother and stole it from her. I wish to know where this person is,” the mysterious shadow said. Some scores needed to be settled before he left. Sect Younger Uncle Yuan had used a fake prescription to trick Wan’er and had stolen her precious jade bracelet.
“Sect Younger Uncle Yuan?”
The members of the Five Tigers Sect looked at each other. They kept looking around as though they wanted to find this person. The mysterious man had revealed this matter in public and was clearly prepared to settle the score. That person had even dared to trick Su Wan’er and was now in real trouble.
The expressions of the Five Tigers Sect members who had the surname Yuan changed drastically. They were terrified. The mysterious man did not give the exact name, but he did mention the surname Yuan. This caused the Five Tigers Sect members with that surname to fear for their own lives. They all tried hard to recall whether they had ever tricked Su Wan’er.
The Five Tigers Sect members that did not have the surname Yuan looked at those who did. Their eyes were full of suspicion and speculation.
One by one, the members with the surname Yuan felt as though they were sitting on a bed of needles. Some of them who were certain that they had not tricked Su Wan’er started cursing inside. Which b*st*rd had tricked Su Wan’er and why did he have to have the surname Yuan? This person was a harbinger of misfortune?
“It’s Sect Younger Uncle Yuan Gang,” Wan’er said in a low voice. She had not imagined that the prescription that Sect Younger Uncle Yuan Gang had given her was actually fake. She had always believed that the prescription could actually save Big Brother Mo and had treated it as a treasure. But right now, this mysterious senior had said it was a fake so that must be the case.
“So it was this b*st*rd Yuan Gang.”
Xie Rengui swept a cold glance towards a corner of the square. The killing spirit on his body seethed. Originally, he was afraid that this mysterious man had come looking for their Five Tigers Sect. In the end, it was this Yuan Gang who had actually stirred up trouble for them.
Swoos.h.!.+
The gazes of almost every member of the Five Tigers Sect turned to look in the same direction. None of them had friendly looks on their faces, especially the people with the surname Yuan. They wanted to attack him, kick him and stomp on him. If he had to harm others, so be it. But why did he have to have the surname Yuan? Wasn’t he a harbinger of misfortune? Just now, the mysterious person nearly scared the sh*t out of them.
In the corner of the square, Sect Younger Uncle Yuan Gang had turned pale a while ago. He was so scared that he could not stand properly, slumping down onto the ground. Even in his wildest dreams, he had not imagined that this matter would be publicly exposed by this mysterious man. He had merely seen that Su Wan’er’s jade bracelet was worth a lot, and he became greedy. Who would have thought that such an incident would occur later?
A few members of the Five Tigers Sect members couldn’t bear it any longer. Without a second thought, they pounced forward and took hold of Sect Younger Uncle Yuan Gang, dragging him before Xie Rengui. The looks they gave Sect Younger Uncle Yuan Gang were full of hatred. Of all the people he had to offend, he had to offend such a killing machine. If this incident brought disaster upon the sect, killing him would not be enough.
“Senior, we are embarra.s.sed that such a traitor has appeared in our sect. As the Five Tigers Sect sect leader, I am also responsible. I will try to compensate for the loss that Su Wan’er has suffered because of this. This person will not be missed. Senior, please deal with him as you please.”
Xie Rengui dragged Sect Younger Uncle Yuan Gang before the mysterious shadow. Xie Rengui’s gaze was incomparably cold. He could barely stop himself from killing Sect Younger Uncle Yuan Gang with a palm strike. Of all the people he could offend, he had offended Su Wan’er.
“Where is Wan’er’s jade bracelet?” the mysterious shadow asked plainly.
“The… the jade… jade… bracelet… is not with… me… It’s… with… Sect Senior Brother Song Qian.” Sect Younger Uncle Yuan Gang trembled slightly. He was so scared that his words would not come out fluently. He felt his senses turn dim, as though the end of the world had descended.
“Huh?” The mysterious shadow frowned slightly.
“F*ck you. Yuan Gang, you b*st*rd. Son of a b*tch. You will not die a peaceful death. What have I done to you for you to drag me into this? Dug up the graves of your ancestors? Killed your parents? You son of a b*tch! You will die a horrible death.”
Suddenly, curses sounded from the crowd. A middle-aged man with a pale expression jumped out cursing. The looks that the members of the Five Tigers Sect gave him were sympathetic and pitying. Some people were even delighted at his misfortune.
This person was Sect Senior Brother Song Qian who had just been mentioned by Sect Younger Uncle Yuan Gang
“Senior, I have been framed. I did not know that the jade bracelet was Wan’er’s at all. This ba*st*rd Yuan Gang owed me some money and used this jade bracelet as collateral. I would never have thought that he would be so sinister and planned to frame me!”
Sect Senior Brother Song Qian knelt down on the ground. He looked as though he had been wronged. Right now, he was in the mood to dig up the graves of Yuan Gang’s ancestors. What grudge did Yuan Gang have with him to want to frame him?
Almost all of the Five Tigers Sect members knew that Yuan Gang was addicted to gambling and owed a lot of people money. He must have used Wan’er’s jade bracelet as collateral for his gambling debts. It could only be said that Sect Senior Brother Song Qian was truly unfortunate. If he was held responsible for this matter, wouldn’t he had been wronged and driven to death?
Even if he was not held responsible, for him to be noticed by the mysterious senior in front of so many seniors in the sect meant that he would most likely have a hard life in the future.
“Return the jade bracelet to Wan’er. As for this Sect Younger Uncle Yuan Gang, he is a member of your Five Tigers Sect. I will not interfere. Your Five Tigers Sect has its own laws. Deal with him on your own.”
The mysterious shadow stared at Sect Younger Uncle Yuan Gang. He then turned and left. In an instant, he had stepped out of the valley and had appeared beyond the mountain peaks.
“Oh, by the way, I gave them those two Dragon City Talismans.” A faint voice came from the sky.
