Chapter 1062 - 1062 1048 Obsessed

Chapter 1062: Chapter 1048: Obsessed Chapter 1062: Chapter 1048: Obsessed Xiang Zi gave a cold smile, thankful for being prepared in advance, or else they might have really been able to break in.

Ren Xiongbei glanced at Ren Haotian and asked, “Son, are you alright?”

Ren Haotian glared at Xiang Zi on top of the city wall and shook his head, saying, “I’m fine.”

“We should not stay here long; let’s hurry and go.” Ren Xiongbei knew they couldn’t get in and also agreed with what Yuan Jingxing said, they didn’t know when people from the Immortal and Demon Domains might arrive, and if they delayed any longer, they might not be able to leave at all.

“Then where do we go?” Ren Haotian, who had been fleeing for nearly ten days, didn’t know where to go.

“Anywhere is better than dying here; they won’t let us in. If people from the Immortal and Demon Domains capture us, they certainly won’t believe what we say, and they’ll only torture us father and son to death, nothing more.”

Ren Haotian cast a glance at Ren Xiongbei and then at Yuan Jingxing.

Ren Xiongbei had not anticipated this move from Su Zhanze.

It wasn’t long before Ren Xiongbei and Ren Haotian, along with their men, retreated, taking advantage of the night to leave.

Qiao Haoyu looked at Yuan Jingxing and said, “Yuan Junior Brother, I’ll leave this place in your charge. I believe it won’t be long before people from the Immortal and Demon Domains will likely come to demand the person from us.”

“Rest assured, I’ll handle this matter well,” Yuan Jingxing replied.

Qiao Haoyu quickly left with Dongfang Tang.

Qiao Haoyu asked Dongfang Tang, “Do you believe what Ren Xiongbei and his men said?”

Dongfang Tang immediately shook his head and replied, “I don’t believe them.”

“I don’t believe them either.” Though Qiao Haoyu said so, he was still somewhat puzzled.

Dongfang Tang said, “I’ve heard that if it weren’t for the fight, the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual, which was tucked in Ren Xiongbei’s embrace, would not have fallen out, and he quickly snatched it back.”

“I’ve heard about this too.” Qiao Haoyu was suddenly devoid of doubts and continued, “Ren Xiongbei cannot be let go.”

“What do you mean, you want to snatch the Secret Manual back from him?”

“Of course.” How could Qiao Haoyu not desire to obtain the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual?

“Then why didn’t you just take the chance to rush out and capture the two of them just now?” Dongfang Tang asked in surprise.

Qiao Haoyu explained, “What Yuan Jingxing said is not wrong; if you capture the father and son now, if those people from the Immortal and Demon Domains find out, they will still come to demand the person from us. With Yuan Jingxing in front of you, trying to hog it all is definitely impossible.”

Dongfang Tang nodded slightly and said, “Right, what you said makes sense, it’s very logical.”

“So if we want to hog it all, we must act secretly and let no one else know.” Qiao Haoyu glanced at the city wall above, where Yuan Jingxing was still standing.

Qiao Haoyu murmured, “If we can get the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual without anyone noticing, then the Immortal City Sect will belong to you and me in the future.”

Dongfang Tang suddenly became excited, not expecting Qiao Haoyu to also have his clever moments, and was indeed quite surprised, almost unable to believe it.

Qiao Haoyu murmured, “Hurry and prepare the men; we’ll secretly go out and see if we can catch Dongfang Tang; we absolutely cannot let the father and son escape.”

“Don’t worry; I will prepare the men right now.”

Who wouldn’t want to get their hands on the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual, such a superior martial arts tome?

Indeed, not long afterward, the Sect Leaders of the Qingxuan Sect and Heavenly City Sect arrived.

Yuan Jingxing had been waiting on the city wall for a long time.

“Ren Xiongbei, come out! Don’t think you can avoid trouble by hiding inside the city,” called out Xiong Shuobo.

Yuan Jingxing walked over and said, “Ren Xiongbei has left.”

Wan Shajiang asked with suspicion, “What, he left? Don’t deceive us; he is your Sect Leader, after all.”

Xiang Zi called out, “How could someone who has committed such utterly wicked deeds continue to be our Sect Leader? How could our Immortal City Sect follow such a leader? He might have been our leader in the past, but we will not follow such a person anymore. You should hurry after the father and son, you might still be able to catch up.”

“You’re not trying to fool us, are you?” Wan Shajiang said.

Yuan Jingxing called out, “We wouldn’t dare deceive you. It’s true that Ren Xiongbei has taken his son and left.”

Wan Shajiang glanced at Xiong Shuobo, somewhat incredulous.

Xiang Zi said, “This person has committed unforgivable crimes, killed Liu Yunzhi, and driven Fang Ziren mad; you definitely will seek revenge on the father and son. We could absolutely not let them enter Immortal City; our relationship with the Heavenly City Sect and Qingxuan Sect has always been excellent. He may have been our Sect Leader, but that’s all in the past now. We won’t be aligning with such a leader anymore. If you quickly pursue, you might still catch up to them.”

Seeing they seemed disbelieving, Yuan Jingxing said, “If you truly do not believe us, you are welcome to come into the city and search to your contentment.” With that, the city gates creaked open.

Hearing Yuan Jingxing say this, Xiong Shuobo believed him; if Ren Xiongbei had truly returned to Immortal City, how could he possibly open the gates to let them in? That made no sense.

Wan Shajiang looked at Xiong Shuobo and asked, “Do you believe what they are saying?”

“I believe them. Yuan Jingxing is someone who speaks the truth. If Ren Xiongbei were inside, how could he let us in?” Xiong Shuobo was somewhat worried that Ren Xiongbei and his son might have escaped.

Wan Shajiang said, “That’s right.”

Yuan Jingxing then said, “Come in and have some tea at least.”

Xiong Shuobo heard this and exclaimed, “No need, they haven’t come back, we don’t have to go in.”

Xiang Zi said, “We couldn’t possibly follow that person to our deaths.”

“Hmm, that is our grudge with Ren Xiongbei, and it doesn’t concern your Immortal City,” Xiong Shuobo clarified the facts.

“Better so, I too hope you catch the culprits soon, eliminating them is of the utmost urgency.”

Yuan Jingxing did not speak.

Soon Wan Shajiang and Xiong Shuobo left with their men. They of course feared that Ren Xiongbei and Ren Haotian might escape, but they were worn out by them, having chased them for more than a dozen days, almost exhausting all their methods. Ren Xiongbei always managed to elude them, and just when they were about to catch them, now was precisely not the time to waste.

Yuan Jingxing still had plenty of feelings about this, he hadn’t anticipated that Immortal City would change into its current state; so much seemed to have changed, becoming untrustworthy.

Yuan Jingxing asked, “When will Su Zhanze be back?”

“He’ll be able to return tomorrow,” Xiang Zi was very satisfied, having completed the task given to him by Su Zhanze.

Yuan Jingxing, with a face full of confusion, walked into the courtyard.

Jiang Shizi heard about the incident at the city gate too. She didn’t like Ren Xiongbei, if her father Jiang Ouyang hadn’t died because of Ren Xiongbei’s silent abandonment of Immortal City, he might still be alive.

Therefore, she detested Ren Xiongbei. His current plight, in her view, was a case of reaping what he sowed, a death well deserved.

“What’s the matter, do you actually sympathize with that guy Ren Xiongbei?” Jiang Shizi was preparing food.

It was already dark at that time.

Yuan Jingxing looked over, his thoughts on the fact that Su Zhanze was not dead and the words Ren Haotian had said. He shook his head and said, “I just feel that Ren Xiongbei isn’t capable or ambitious enough to do something so shocking.”

Jiang Shizi scoffed, “When people are blinded by obsession, they can do shocking things, they deserve to die.”

Yuan Jingxing knew that because of Jiang Ouyang’s affairs, Jiang Shizi hated Ren Xiongbei to the core, which he could understand. It was only in recent times that Jiang Shizi’s mood had somewhat improved.

“Is Su Zhanze really still alive?” Jiang Shizi asked.

“It seems to be true.”

“You don’t believe what Ren Xiongbei and the others said, thinking all this was orchestrated by Su Zhanze, do you?”

“Of course not, but I don’t understand why Ren Xiongbei would defame them.”

“Of course, it’s to find a way out. Now, who else can take the blame for them? They are at a dead end, not knowing what to do, so they pull someone into this to take the fall. You mustn’t let such people in, or it will be us who suffer,” Jiang Ouyang analyzed.

“Don’t worry, I know what to do.”

Jiang Shizi said, “I saw Qiao Haoyu leading a big group of people, sneaking through the secret passage and leaving Immortal City.”

It was then Yuan Jingxing came down from the city wall, unaware of this matter, he muttered, “What is he leaving Immortal City for?”

“It looks very much like he’s got his eye on the Secret Manual that the Ren father and son possess,” Jiang Shizi said with a scoff.

“When did this happen?” Yuan Jingxing asked, surprised.

“Four hours ago, right after Ren Xiongbei left with his people,” Jiang Shizi had already guessed as much, shaking her head, she said, “Nowadays, one can really gauge a person’s heart. No matter how good they were before, the lure of a Secret Manual instantly reveals their true colors.”

Yuan Jingxing looked at Jiang Shizi, finding himself at a loss for words, but thinking about it, he felt scared.

Jiang Shizi said, “You don’t also want to get the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual, do you?” She knew Yuan Jingxing was honest, otherwise, she would not have married him, but now people are easily swayed by greed. Ostensibly hunting Ren Xiongbei for revenge, but who doesn’t know, it’s all for the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual.

Yuan Jingxing didn’t even dare think that way, he said, “What good is the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual? I don’t think being the best in the world matters that much.”

“I’m saying, you must not harbor such thoughts, it’s not a good thing.”

“Of course, I just want to live in peace and quiet, without worrying about anything.”

Yuan Jingxing smiled faintly.

Jiang Shizi then said, “When I am free, I want to go to Demon Palace City to see Qing’er and Yun’er. With such a big incident happening to Yun’er, she must be very sad and upset, and Qing’er is in such a state too,” she couldn’t help feeling somewhat sad.

“Sure, if you want to go, then go have a look,” he said.

“In a few days then.”

Yuan Jingxing nodded slightly, remarking, “I have a lot of things to take care of here, otherwise, I would accompany you.”

“You don’t have to accompany me. You’ve been handling most of Immortal City’s affairs lately, I wouldn’t want to disturb you. I just want to go and see them,” she replied.

“Sure, a little trip to clear your mind would be good,” he agreed.
