Chapter 1007 - 1007 993 Numerous Doubts

Chapter 1007: Chapter 993: Numerous Doubts Chapter 1007: Chapter 993: Numerous Doubts Ren Xiongbei pushed Xiong Shuobo away with a palm, picking up the red and black volumes. At that moment, he was completely dumbfounded, not knowing what was going on. It was clearly supposed to be the upper volume, so how could the lower volume also be in his bosom? No wonder he had felt a bit more weight earlier.

Not only was Ren Xiongbei stunned, but Ren Haotian was too, along with everyone else, greatly shocked.

Xiong Shuobo pointed at Ren Xiongbei’s nose and yelled, “Well, well, you shameless hypocrite, what do you have to say now? Don’t tell me the bottom half grew legs and ran into your bag, right? If you really say that, I’ll be thoroughly impressed.”

Gu Xueyun was still somewhat doubtful at the time. Although Ren Xiongbei wasn’t a great person, he wasn’t so cruel and ruthless either, yet now both the upper and lower volumes were in his hands.

Ren Xiongbei was at a loss for a moment, completely baffled as to how this could have happened.

Wan Shajiang saw the red and black volumes, and his eyes lit up with a green light as if he hadn’t seen his wife for half a year. His main purpose for coming here was not for the deceased Liu Yunzhi. What he wanted was now in Ren Xiongbei’s embrace, and immediately he shouted, “Avenge our Sect Leader, kill the executioner Ren Xiongbei, he must not live till tomorrow,”

As he spoke, he nudged Zhu Sheng in front, ready to fight for the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual.

He quickly ran to the front of Xiong Shuobo, ready to whet his knife for pigs and sheep.

Although Xiong Shuobo came for revenge, he also aimed for the Secret Manual. Fearing that Wan Shajiang would beat him to it, he drew his sword without another word and charged forward, also shouting, “Avenging the Sect Leader, eliminating harm for the people.” The situation became completely uncontrollable.

Ren Xiongbei didn’t have time to think too much and promptly tucked both items into his bosom.

Ren Haotian led the disciples of the Immortal City Sect to block the front, protecting the retreating Ren Xiongbei; he too was eager to figure out what had happened.

But the people from Heavenly City Sect and Qingxuan Sect were like possessed wolves, their numbers alone dwarfing those of the Immortal City Sect’s disciples.

This forced them to continually retreat further back into the courtyard.

A tidal wave surged, with the glint of blades and swords, lightning streaked chaotically, and Demonic Beasts unleashed, making the already cramped courtyard even more congested.

Ren Xiongbei shouted urgently, “Son, the Immortal Pearl.”

Ren Haotian handed him the Immortal Pearl, and Ren Xiongbei forced the energy out of it, unleashing a torrent-like assault on the incoming crowd.

“It’s this damned Immortal Pearl, otherwise how could our Sect Leader have gone mad,” Xiong Shuobo became even more certain, joining forces with Gu Xueyun and Wan Shajiang, the three of them taking on Ren Xiongbei together.

Ren Xiongbei still said, “Gu junior brother, we can sit down and talk this through.”

“Go to hell, you blabbering liar. With the evidence right here, you still want to sit and have a nice chat? Do you have no shame?” Xiong Shuobo became even more ferocious. If he hadn’t run quickly the night before, he would have been beheaded.

Ren Xiongbei couldn’t suppress his aura any longer. Seeing there was no reconciling this, he shouted, “Son, come to this side.” This was no place to linger; to figure this out, they would have to wait for another day.

Ren Xiongbei seized the moment while his power was still peak, and with the Immortal Pearl in hand, these crazed people all wanted the complete manual; it was impossible for them to listen to him at this time.

“We must leave quickly.” Ren Xiongbei pointed towards the back, signaling the existence of a back door.

His son got the message.

Indeed, the disciples of the Immortal City Sect were outnumbered and their energy was fast depleting. With the Heavenly City Sect and Qingxuan Sect joining forces, their momentum was increasingly unstoppable. It wouldn’t be long before they were completely overwhelmed. Thankfully the yard wasn’t large enough for everyone to rush in at once; otherwise, they couldn’t have held out. But it was becoming clear that they couldn’t hold out for much longer, and if they didn’t leave quickly, they might not be able to escape.

They were utterly indefensible, with everyone vying for the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual. These people were willing to kill for that manual.

Taking advantage of the chaos to escape was the only real option.

He wasn’t about to waste time here.

They retreated to the back yard.

Although Xiong Shuobo’s martial arts skills were so-so, Gu Xueyun’s skills were considerable, and with the addition of Wan Shajiang, they were not to be underestimated. Xiong Shuobo shouted, “Don’t let this villain escape!” Yet his mind was already pondering the Secret Manuals in his bosom, ready to rush over and snatch them.

Ren Xiongbei and the disciples of the Immortal City Sect were forced to continuously retreat, with half of their disciples already dead and their end in sight. Suddenly, Ren Xiongbei unleashed a palm strike, bringing down a pavilion in front of them, blocking the charging enemies. Before they could circle around, he blasted out several bursts of energy, demolishing the houses in front like falling snowflakes.

He intended to bury his pursuers under the rubble.

Xiong Shuobo planned to dodge first, but the disciples behind him were all crowding up, and the thatched cottages and hedges were collapsing towards them, taking some by surprise.

Ren Xiongbei still wasn’t willing to let it go and furiously unleashed several more palm strikes before hastily fleeing with the remainder of his disciples.

Xiong Shuobo clutched at his waist and climbed out from the ruined area, Wan Shajiang also emerged. Xiong Shuobo exclaimed, “We absolutely cannot let this hypocrite escape. We must kill him to avenge our losses.”

He then led the chase after Ren Xiongbei.

Someone observed the scene from the shadows with a smile. Ren Xiongbei must be out of his mind. Now, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn’t wash himself clean; this was the fate he deserved.

Su Zhanze was feeling unbearable, his hand instinctively touching his own face.

Chen Yu said, “If Ren Xiongbei manages to survive this calamity, he will definitely flee back to Immortal City.”

Su Zhanze looked over and agreed. He couldn’t allow Ren Xiongbei to return to Immortal City. A coward who feared death and fled first, the one who caused him to be captured by Longhun, how could he let him bring disaster to Immortal City? He wouldn’t allow it and said, “Xiang Zi, hurry back to Immortal City and tell Yuan Jingxing to make sure that Ren Xiongbei does not enter the city. If Ren Xiongbei gets in, he will definitely bring calamity upon Immortal City. Also, tell him that I will be back soon, waiting for my return to Immortal City.”

Xiang Zi immediately understood and replied, “Rest assured, I will reach Immortal City before they do and will not let Ren Xiongbei harm the Immortal City Sect.”

Su Zhanze turned to Chen Yu and said, “Chen Yu, spread the word. Let Ren Xiongbei’s deeds be known to all—that both volumes of the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual are in his hands.” He was determined to make Ren Xiongbei an outcast, despised by everyone.

Chen Yu responded, “Got it, I will tell the story in a compelling way.”

Su Zhanze muttered to himself, “There’s still someone I need to deal with.” Before returning to Immortal City, he had to finish dealing with this person, believing that the Dark Beast of Longhun had been summoned.

Now that Longhun held no value, once he absorbed his martial prowess, he could kill him.

Ren Xiongbei didn’t know how long he had been running when the sky darkened unexpectedly.

Ren Haotian was full of questions, “Father, what exactly is going on? Why are both volumes in your possession?”

At that, Ren Xiongbei finally pulled out the two secret manuals from his bosom and said, “I have no idea what’s going on.” He hastily opened them but was immediately dumbfounded—the books weren’t the actual volumes of the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual. Aside from the covers, the content had been swapped.

“How did they become blank?” Ren Haotian grabbed them, only to find that all the pages were blank.

Ren Xiongbei furiously tossed the fake secret manuals to the ground and raged, “Damn it, I’ve been played!” It was then that he remembered the final cup of wine from the previous night, after which he didn’t know what had happened. He muttered, “Lin Ruoqin!”

“You mean Lin Ruoqin tampered with them?”

“Definitely her. No one else could have done it.” It made sense now why Lin Ruoqin had disappeared that morning.

“What exactly happened?”

“She drugged me, switched the secret manuals, and framed me.”

“No way. Does she have the guts to place two fakes into your bag? Why would she do that?” Ren Haotian asked, confused.

“Of course, she didn’t have the nerve. Someone must have put her up to it.”

“So the ambush on Fang Ziren in the woods last night was real?” Ren Haotian was stunned, then exclaimed, “But Fang Ziren told us that the trade was supposed to take place tonight.”

Hearing this, Ren Xiongbei found the note Xiang Zi had given him the day before. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that the handwriting was not Fang Ziren’s.

Ren Haotian cursed at Xiang Zi, who was nowhere to be found, shouting, “Damn it, Xiang Zi is a traitor. He fooled us with that damp note.” Only now did he see through the ruse.

Ren Xiongbei was furious, roaring, “I’m not done with the murderer.”

Ren Haotian said, “But who is the murderer? I heard Xiong Shuobo say they used Immortal City Sect’s martial arts, and the leader even used your palm technique. He also had an Immortal Pearl, but it’s been in my hands all along. I guarantee it was with me all last night.”

“Damn it, I want to know what’s going on too.” Ren Xiongbei felt that the situation was extremely bizarre. The murderer was impressive, deceiving everyone. He had used Lin Ruoqin, and even placed a spy right by his side, so that not a trace was left.

“This person has tremendous skills, but who exactly is he?”

Ren Xiongbei kept thinking. Someone who could lead a group from the Immortal City Sect without giving away their identity—if they were disciples from another sect, they wouldn’t have been able to do it without slipping up at least once. Xiong Shuobo might be a big brute, but he wasn’t so dense as to not recognize the martial arts of a sect.
