Chapter 1064 - 1064 1050 Intent to Kill
Chapter 1064: Chapter 1050: Intent to Kill Chapter 1064: Chapter 1050: Intent to Kill The thunderous roar directly reached Immortal City, where Yuan Jingxing and Jiang Shizi both walked up the city walls, looking outwards. Beyond the city, in the depths of the forest, firelight had appeared, and the constant howling of monsters could be heard. People immediately thought that a fight must have broken out.
Jiang Shizi could tell from the sounds of battle that it must be extremely fierce, and she said, “Don’t you even think of getting involved. If things go wrong, they’ll drag you into it, and just like Liu Yunzhi, they’ll stab you once they get the chance.” She didn’t want Yuan Jingxing to come to harm.
“Don’t worry, even if the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual really is a treasure, I’m not fated to possess it,” Yuan Jingxing said, looking at Jiang Shizi.
“It’s better that way, let them fight over it.”
“I just worry about when this will ever end.”
Jiang Shizi scoffed coldly, “You can’t do anything about it. The world of immortals and demons is no longer what it was a year ago.” She thought of Ye Chen and said, “Ye Chen, in order to deal with Longhun, put on the Wolf King’s Ring despite the risks. He defeated Longhun, but these people, they want to capture Ye Chen. Everyone knows they’re after the ring, they just don’t speak of it. If Ye Chen weren’t dead, they wouldn’t let him off either.
I really don’t know what to say about them. Anyway, I’m becoming more and more pessimistic. I really don’t know how the world of immortals and demons has become what it is today.”
Yuan Jingxing looked at Jiang Shizi and still felt comforted. Although his relationship with Ye Chen wasn’t very good and they had conflicts, after the death of Jiang Ouyang, he had come to view many things differently; he just wanted to live a good life. Deep down, he actually admired Ye Chen, he just never said it.
“People sacrifice for others, while they fight for their own desires. If it continues like this, the world of immortals and demons is doomed,” Jiang Shizi said.
“They fight their battles, we’ll live our lives,” Yuan Jingxing said, gazing at Jiang Shizi.
“You can’t control this.”
Wan Shajiang and Xiong Shuobo, fearing someone else would snatch the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual, broke through Ren Xiongbei’s formation right from the start. Each brought over a hundred men, and suddenly four to five hundred people launched a pincer attack on Ren Xiongbei and Ren Haotian, whom they couldn’t possibly withstand.
Seeing the right moment, Ren Xiongbei signaled to his son Ren Haotian, who nodded in understanding. Ren Xiongbei took two secret manuals from his bosom, the Red Volume and the Black Volume, and shouted, “Here are the secret manuals you want!” As he spoke, he threw the Red Volume to the left and the Black Volume to the right.
These were the documents Wan Shajiang and Xiong Shuobo had dreamt of obtaining. Upon seeing the manuals thrown, they immediately rushed to grab them. Qiao Haoyu also had his eye on the Red and Black Volumes and nudged Dongfang Tang, shouting, “Hurry up and grab them for me!” as he prepared to flee.
All attention had shifted from the Ren father and son to the competition over the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual.
Yet Ren Xiongbei knew this was only temporary. If they realized the manuals were fake, the trouble would surely return to them. With no time to waste, the most pressing thing was to leave quickly, so he urgently called for his son, and they both ran towards the base of the mountain.
Behind them, a massacre unfolded. Those people were ruthless, drawing their swords and stabbing into the crowd. Whoever dared claim they had obtained the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual would not live to leave the mountain.
Nobody knows how long the slaughter lasted, perhaps as long as half an hour.
Qiao Haoyu managed to grab the Red Volume and was overjoyed, but Xiong Shuobo attacked, and Qiao Haoyu, seeing this, shouted: “Dongfang Tang, block him for me!” and prepared to escape.
On the other side, Wan Shajiang had seized the Black Volume, elated beyond measure, but upon opening it, he was instantly dumbstruck. As others tried to leap over to grab it, Wan Shajiang threw aside the Black Volume, cursing, “Damn that Ren Xiongbei, playing us for fools.”
Xiong Shuobo picked up the Black Volume from the ground and glanced at it, seeing blank pages with nothing inside.
Qiao Haoyu, about to flee, heard their words and pulled out the secret manual from his bosom, only then realizing the truth. But by then, Ren Xiongbei was long gone without a trace.
They all cursed loudly, calling Ren Xiongbei a bastard.
Su Zhanze, having obtained the Red and Black Volumes, was initially overjoyed, but he quickly found that the content of the Red Volume had been seriously tampered with; some content had been added, which he had not expected at all. The revised and added content was difficult to discern.
The fact that he could identify the problem was thanks to the knowledge extracted from Longhun; although not everything Longhun said might be accurate, Longhun would have spoken with certainty and caution. Su Zhanze soon noticed many discrepancies and, upon closer judgment, realized that there were issues with the Red Volume’s contents; someone had made changes. He immediately thought of Ren Haotian.
He knew Ren Haotian was a master at imitating others’ handwriting, and it must have been his doing. He consulted an expert to carefully compare the two manuals and discovered they were not written by the same person, which further confirmed his suspicions. In a rage, he threw down the Red Volume, cursing, “That damned Ren Xiongbei really has some tricks up his sleeve.” Certainly, Ren Xiongbei did not wish to give the true Secret Manual to Fang Ziren, so he intentionally altered its content.
His aide, Chen Yu, was greatly surprised and didn’t understand why Su Zhanze was so angry. Picking up the Red Volume, he asked, “What’s wrong? Is something not right?”
Su Zhanze said, “That damned Ren Xiongbei let Ren Haotian tamper with it.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s a copy, and Ren Haotian has modified the content. If I hadn’t extracted details from Longhun and found a handwriting expert, I might never have discovered it.”
“Why would he do that?”
Su Zhanze said coldly, “This thing was originally intended for trade, and he didn’t want Fang Ziren to see the real contents. He’s truly cunning.”
“Can the altered contents be found out?”
Su Zhanze shook his head. Even the contents Longhun translated for him were not complete, and they were exaggerated.
“The black volume is correct, though?”
Su Zhanze shook his head and said, “I really didn’t expect Ren Xiongbei to play this trick.”
“So what do we do now?” Chen Yu asked in confusion.
“We must find the father and son duo; they have the correct content on them,” said Su Zhanze.
“Right, the Red Volume is still with them.”
Su Zhanze asked, “Do you know where they are?”
Chen Yu replied, “They returned to Immortal City yesterday but were denied entry by Yuan Jingxing and Qiao Haoyu. They left Immortal City, then ran into a group of men in black and later encountered Qingxuan Sect and Heavenly City Sect. They deceived everyone with a fake Dragon Slaying Secret Manual, causing them to fight each other, and took the opportunity to escape the encirclement. Their whereabouts are now unknown.”
Su Zhanze nodded slightly and said, “Find out as quickly as you can.”
“Alright, I’ll go now.”
Su Zhanze suddenly called out, “Wait, they might go to someone in Demon Palace City.”
“To someone from Demon Palace City?”
Su Zhanze said, “Lou Xuancheng is a man of justice; he will surely protect them. Ren Xiongbei has nowhere to go now, he can’t return to Immortal City, and everyone else wants the Secret Manual they carry, so it’s very likely he will go to Demon Palace City.”
“Indeed, it seems only the people of Demon Palace City can save their lives now.” Chen Yu suddenly remembered something and said, “It seems Ren Xiongbei has guessed it was us.” He had just received news from Xiang Zi.
“What?” Su Zhanze was still taken aback.
Chen Yu hurriedly told Su Zhanze about what Ren Xiongbei had said under the walls of Immortal City yesterday.
Su Zhanze really hadn’t expected that damn Ren Xiongbei wasn’t stupid and could actually guess it.
Chen Yu continued, “At the time, Yuan Jingxing and Qiao Haoyu didn’t believe their words, but if Ren Xiongbei keeps spreading rumors, especially if they tell the people of Demon Palace City, it won’t be good.”
Su Zhanze looked over, feeling that Chen Yu made some sense. He hadn’t anticipated this outcome.
Chen Yu went on, “After all, the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual is not with them. If Lou Xuancheng really believes him, wouldn’t he think we are behind this?”
Su Zhanze realized he had been careless.
“To eliminate future threats, the best way is to ensure the father and son duo are silenced forever,” Chen Yu continued. “After all, Fang Ziren has gone mad, and we have killed so many from Heavenly City Sect and stolen the black volume of the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual. If the truth comes out one day, won’t they become our enemies?”
Su Zhanze slapped his forehead. He hadn’t considered that Ren Xiongbei would guess it. It was indeed a mistake. Any proof or evidence discovered would be disastrous. The best solution was to silence them forever. He said, “First, let’s find them and prevent them from going to Demon Palace City.”
He didn’t want to provoke people from Heavenly City Sect. Although Ren Xiongbei had no evidence, that man spreading rumors would not bode well for his reputation, especially if they spoke to those from Demon Palace City. Someone might believe their story, so there was only one good solution left.
Chen Yu said, “Don’t worry, I won’t let him get to Demon Palace City. You should return to Immortal City.”
Right, Ren Xiongbei was no longer the Sect Leader of Immortal City Sect; of course, he had to go back. Even if he couldn’t become the Sect Leader, he had to take control of Immortal City so Qiao Haoyu wouldn’t take advantage, especially since he was still the Vice Sect Leader of Immortal City.
“You should immediately seize this opportunity to take the position of Sect Leader,” Chen Yu said.
“Okay, I’ll leave the pursuit of Ren Xiongbei to you for now. I’ll go back to Immortal City to take over as Sect Leader and will come find you. Just make sure Ren Xiongbei doesn’t escape to Demon Palace City.” He wanted to unearth the main volume of the Secret Manual and eliminate future threats.
“Rest assured, they won’t make it to Demon Palace City.”
