Zhang San, please behave yourself!
Chapter 278 - 267: Guess Why It’s You?

Chapter 278: Chapter 267: Guess Why It’s You?

Zhang San didn’t know how long the battle had lasted.

After all, he had always been commanding Bai Yucheng to eliminate the surrounding evil ghosts.

At this moment, the dark clouds above Fengdu County City began to dissipate bit by bit.

Sunlight finally pierced through the darkness, casting its light onto the streets.

Zhang San looked at the streets, now almost clean thanks to Bai Yucheng’s efforts, and couldn’t help but smile amidst the shattered patches of sunlight.

Looking at Bai Yucheng now, by slaughtering the surrounding evil ghosts, he had indeed offset much of his own sins.

This battle, which had probably lasted a day and a night, had clearly dimmed Bai Yucheng’s soul.

Especially under the sunlight, Bai Yucheng appeared incredibly weak.

Zhang San knew that with Bai Yucheng’s current state, it would be all too easy to kill him, so he released Bai Yucheng from the constraints of the Ghost Summoning Method.

But at the same time, another Zhang San had already rushed over from afar.

However, this other Zhang San hid behind a half-collapsed wall, ready to act at any moment, instead of standing out directly.

After all, Zhang San didn’t know what other tricks Bai Yucheng might have.

At this moment, Bai Yucheng, incredibly weak, collapsed onto the ground as he finally gained his freedom.

Zhang San glanced at Bai Yucheng lying on the ground and involuntarily laughed.

When Bai Yucheng heard Zhang San’s laughter, he gritted his teeth, got up from the ground, sat down, and facing Zhang San not far away, he too started laughing loudly.

For a while, the laughter of the two men spread throughout the surrounding streets.

Meanwhile, Fang Cunzai, having arranged everything for the civilians and others, sneaked back and was now hiding behind a house, debating whether to approach.

But he also felt that Zhang San had some reason for not wanting him to come over, so Fang Cunzai was also hesitant about whether to go out and see Bai Yucheng one last time to clear the doubts in his heart.

After finishing his laughter, Bai Yucheng, glancing at Zhang San, couldn’t help saying, "I didn’t expect you to know such a technique. This time I was completely suppressed by you, and I’m afraid it won’t be long before I completely dissipate between heaven and earth. Facing true annihilation, my heart, somewhat reluctant indeed."

Zhang San scoffed, retorting, "You? Have a heart?"

Bai Yucheng looked down at the bloody hole in his chest and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... Indeed, I, Bai Yucheng, am a man without a heart. Before I go, do you have anything else to say?"

Bai Yucheng leaned against a piece of fallen wall behind him, his face full of fatigue and languor.

But his smile was like a burden lifted, seemingly having never experienced such a relaxed and comfortable moment in his life.

Seeing this, Zhang San hiding in the shadow tapped on his shadow.

Although Zhang San had split into two shadows before, a shadow still remained within one of them.

At this moment, White Shadow came out, standing in the distance looking at Bai Yucheng.

She knew this might very well be the last time she saw him in her life.

Zhang San asked Bai Yucheng, "I have something to ask you. You have been quite fond of Fang Cunzai. Do you genuinely think he is a good person, or do you intend to use him?"

Bai Yucheng had noticed the distant shadow, originally thinking Zhang San was going to ask about the shadow.

But unexpectedly, Zhang San was actually asking about Fang Cunzai.

"Do you think Lu Qingquan could have suppressed Fang Cunzai with his abilities and intellect if I hadn’t turned a blind eye to it?"

Zhang San nodded, and although Bai Yucheng did not elaborate, it was clear that Bai Yucheng had made arrangements to help Fang Cunzai early on.

Meanwhile, Fang Cunzai, hiding in the shadows, widened his eyes even more.

He could hardly believe that his great benefactor, the person who had helped him and shown him kindness, had been plotting against him from the very beginning.

Fang Cunzai wanted to go out and confront Bai Yucheng face-to-face, but at that moment, he suddenly lost the courage to go out and meet Zhang San.

Bai Yucheng looked at Zhang San and asked with a smile, "Then I’ll also ask you something, you should know everything about your past now, right?"

Zhang San shook his head.

"I only know my past identity from the conversation you had with the shadow, but my memory has not yet recovered."

Zhang San suddenly became curious as to why Bai Yucheng, who was about to be completely annihilated, would choose this moment to ask such a question.

Is the memory of a person with amnesia that important?

As Zhang San was filled with doubt, he heard Bai Yucheng’s laughter.

At the same time, the bodies of the ghosts and monsters on the street, already basking in the sunlight, began to slowly turn into ashes and dissipate.

Bai Yucheng’s body also began to gradually become ethereal, turning into ashes.

In the distance, White Shadow knelt down towards Bai Yucheng and heavily kowtowed three times.

Although she had been implicated by Bai Yucheng initially, she owed her upbringing to him, and without Bai Yucheng, there would be no White Shadow today.

Bai Yucheng lifted his hand, looking at his body as it gradually dissipated, and couldn’t help but smile.

In that smile, there was relief, calmness, and even a trace of happiness.

"Zhang San, I told you, I want to let this world rot. So, I want to ask you another question," he said.

Zhang San was taken aback.

You want to let the world rot, what does that have to do with asking me a question?

Can you really blow me up with your question, causing this world to collapse?

So Zhang San was also curious about what kind of question Bai Yucheng would eventually ask.

Seeing Zhang San nod, Bai Yucheng smiled and stood up, taking steps until he was face to face with Zhang San, his demeanor as refined and gentle as when Zhang San first met him.

"Guess why, after the Town Martial Office ambushed the Heavenly Punishment Sect, they chose to use the Soul Cleansing Technique on you and let you join the Town Martial Office? Why you?"

The youth from the Primordial Qi Realm had minimal strength.

Such a person should not, and could not possibly be an important figure in the Heavenly Punishment Sect, nor have any value for the use of the Soul Cleansing Technique.

Yet, Zhang San had been chosen.

So, what role did he actually play in the Heavenly Punishment Sect back then?

At that moment, Zhang San was curious, but even more so, he was shocked.

He certainly had some special identity within the Heavenly Punishment Sect back then.

"Who am I?"

Zhang San asked Bai Yucheng.

But by then, Bai Yucheng’s body had already begun to dissipate rapidly.

Zhang San rushed towards Bai Yucheng, trying to grasp him, but just as Zhang San was about to touch Bai Yucheng, his body turned into a sky full of ash and dispersed over the post-battle streets of Fengdu County City.

"Who... exactly am I?"

The wind was hushed, and no one knew the answer.
