Chapter 508: 508

This statement, like a thunderclap, exploded in an instant.

"Did I hear that right just now, did that person say Grandmaster Fang would die?"

"You heard right, I heard it too!"

"That’s outrageous, the young man is too arrogant!"

At this moment, Fang Jingde’s face looked extremely ugly.

But with the other party speaking this way, he felt it was becoming troublesome. Even though he knew he faced a Grandmaster, the fact that the person dared to be so boastful meant that this individual might be no ordinary person.

"Your Excellency must know that the person in question is Elder Wu, from the Valley of Hidden Swords. By killing someone from the Valley of Hidden Swords, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to explain, right?" Fang Jingde said coldly.

"When Tang Zhong takes action, why should I explain myself to others?" Tang Zhong said with an indifferent smile.

Fang Jingde immediately frowned; he had never heard of a hidden family in the Martial World with the Tang surname.

At this moment, Fang Jingde desperately wanted to kill Tang Zhong outright, but he hesitated, for it was rare to see anyone, facing a Grandmaster of Martial Arts, keep their composure so well; there were few in the world who could do so.

It was likely that this fellow had a background reaching to the heavens.

Indeed, it would be difficult to explain to the Valley of Hidden Swords, but if he killed the wrong person, that would be even more indefensible.

"Your Excellency, which hidden family do you hail from? I, Fang, would like to pay a visit in the future!" Fang Jingde was trying to ascertain the other’s background.

"If you want to know where I come from, to verify my identity, and then take action, right? Actually, Fang Jingde, you don’t need to do this; today, I’ve come to kill you!" Tang Zhong said, smiling.

Speaking of killing as if it were a trivial matter.

Upon hearing these words, the entire place was instantly shocked.

To kill a Grandmaster!

Nobody had ever seen a Master of Martial Arts dare to speak to a Grandmaster in such a manner!

Just a Master of Martial Arts, daring to say such things.

"You’re courting death!" Fang Jingde said in a low voice.

The voice issued from deep within his body, and then an invisible aura was released from him, spreading around, and a fierce wind suddenly arose.

"Fang Jingde, do you know why I have come to kill you today?" Tang Zhong asked with a smile.

"I don’t know. I have no grudges with Your Excellency, and I have never even seen you before!" Fang Jingde replied.

"Susu, you can come out now!" Tang Zhong turned and called out to Fang Susu not far away.

At that moment, Fang Susu had balled her fists in anger at the sight of Fang Jingde, her eyes full of hatred. Hearing Tang Zhong’s call, she hesitated for a moment.

As Tang Zhong’s gaze turned towards Fang Susu, everyone else followed suit, and all eyes landed on her.

When Fang Jingde saw Fang Susu, his pupils dilated.

"Fang Su..."

At that moment, Fang Susu walked forward steadily, came to Tang Zhong’s side, turned around, and addressed Fang Jingde from a distance, "Fang Jingde, you didn’t expect me to come back, did you?"

"You lowly woman, you dare to come back?" Fang Jingde became agitated, "You stole the family heirloom jade; where is the jade now?"

The surrounding people, seeing this scene, were all stunned. What was going on?

Suddenly, they recalled that in the Fang Family, five years ago, there was turmoil. A person named Fang Su had stolen the family’s heirloom jade, leading to her being scorned by the clan. However, the current Family Head, in order to protect his daughter, broke off from the Fang Family. He later died in battle, and that Fang Su had survived and left with the Fang Family’s heirloom jade. Now, hearing what the Family Head said, could it be that the woman on stage was the same Fang Su from back then?

In an instant, the way everyone looked at Fang Susu changed.

"So it turns out she’s an outcast from her own family!"

"Indeed!"

Fang Susu’s face turned extremely ugly with anger, her fists clenched tightly.

This feeling of being pointed at by thousands, which she had experienced many years ago, was now something she had to endure again after five years.

Just then, a slender hand landed on her shoulder from behind, and turning around, Fang Susu saw Tang Zhong smiling at her.

"Mr. Tang?"

"Don’t be afraid, say what you want to say!" Tang Zhong laughed.

"Mmm!" With Tang Zhong supporting her, Fang Susu felt a courage that was hard to describe and nodded fiercely.

Turning to face Fang Jingde, she said, "You’re talking nonsense. My parents were clearly killed by you. You wanted the Family Head’s position and murdered them; you did everything."

"I don’t want to talk to a criminal. Where is the family heirloom jade now? Hand it over quickly!" Fang Jingde barked.

But Fang Susu paid no attention to Fang Jingde and continued speaking to the onlookers, "The truth is, the events of five years ago were not caused by me stealing the family heirloom jade. It was Fang Jingde who, coveting the position of Family Head of the Fang Family, killed my parents. I was lucky to escape. He murdered my father and violated my mother; he did everything. He’s a disgrace in the Martial World. How is he fit to be the Family Head of the Fang Family, which has been in Lin City for three hundred years?"

Fang Jingde looked at Fang Susu and sneered, "So? What can you do about it?"

No one around spoke.

"I... I will take revenge!" said Fang Susu through clenched teeth.

"Revenge!" Fang Jingde suddenly laughed, "I am very curious, how do you plan to take revenge on me? Kill me? With what capability?"

"Fang Su, where do you get this courage? Five years and you never came back; now, what’s your purpose for returning? Could it be you think you can kill me just by coming back?"

"And you say so much; do you think others will believe you?"

Fang Jingde pointed at Fang Susu and asked the spectators, "Do you believe what she’s said?"

"We don’t believe her!" the crowd immediately replied.

"How could Grandmaster Fang be such a person?"

"Exactly!"

"Grandmaster Fang is a Grandmaster of his generation; how could he engage in such despicable acts!"

Fang Jingde burst out laughing and then said to Fang Susu, "Do you hear that? No one believes you. What’s the point of slandering me like this? I’ll ask you one more time. Where did you hide the family heirloom jade? Hand it over!"

At the same time, the crowd pointed at Fang Susu, "Family disgrace, trying to tarnish Grandmaster Fang’s reputation, you are not worthy!"

"Exactly!"

"How could the Family Head of the Fang Family be the kind of person you describe!"

They didn’t care about what had really happened. They would stand by the stronger side, for after all, supporting a Grandmaster was much better than helping a criminal.

This matter was a lifelong pain for Fang Susu, and seeing that the people around her didn’t believe her, her eyes reddened with frustration, "It was all his doing, he killed my father... you should believe me!"

Fang Susu was so angry she was about to cry.

Just as she was about to speak again, another pair of hands appeared on her shoulders. Fang Susu turned her head and saw Tang Zhong, "Mr. Tang..."

"You’ve done well just to speak out," Tang Zhong said with a smile, "Step back, and leave everything to me."

"Mmm!" Fang Susu nodded.

Tang Zhong stepped forward and said to the people around with a smile, "Actually, you don’t need to believe anything, as long as I believe her, that’s enough!"

Seeing this, Fang Jingde immediately said coldly, "So it turns out you’re the accomplice of the criminal of our Fang Family... Hand over Fang Su today, or don’t blame me for being impolite!"

"And how do you plan to be impolite?" Tang Zhong stepped forward boldly, "Also, you should have no doubt that I’m not a son from a hidden tribe, because I am simply not..."

Not?

The crowd was shocked; someone who wasn’t a disciple from a hidden tribe dared to be so arrogant?

"Not?" Fang Jingde frowned quickly, replaced by a hint of coldness, "Since you’re not a disciple from a hidden tribe, then who gave you the courage? A mere Martial Arts Master, to act wildly in our Fang Family?"

"Of course, it’s myself. My name is Tang Zhong... and I speak for myself," Tang Zhong said with a smile.
