Chapter 395 - Zhuang Meifeng
Chapter 395: Zhuang Meifeng
Zhuang Meifeng was facing the matter with the belief that she was the walking dead. However, Sun Tianbiao felt that she was fully confident, so even though he was doubtful, he still believed her story.
If he analyzed the entire matter according to Zhuang Meifeng’s story, it seemed to align with what had happened. This was because Sun Tianbiao knew that at least a portion of her story was true.
He Xinyan’s past was quite mysterious. After he began working for the Sun Family, he managed to earn the Sun Family’s trust by completing important missions for them.
He Xinyan must have gotten the help of a certain sect. Originally, Sun Tianbiao thought that this power must have been from an ancient sect. Thinking about it now, he realized that the possibility of this power being the Assassins Organization was huge!
It was unquestionable that assassins from the Assassins Organization had shown up that night. However, the biggest question was why the Assassins Organization wanted to kill the Sun Family’s men.
The assassins from the Assassins Organization were only interested in their missions and gains. There was no way they would do something detrimental to themselves.
As an expert at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Eight, He Xinyan had painstakingly obtained the Sun Family’s trust by spending all of his efforts. After hiding in the Sun Family for such a long time, he must have had an enormous mission and objective to accomplish, and there was no way it was related to Niu Fenjiao and Sun Xing!
He Xinyan was responsible for protecting Niu Fenjiao. If he wanted to kill her, he had plenty of opportunities to do so. There was no need for him to expose his identity after suffering a fatal injury from protecting her. By doing that, he would establish the Sun Family as his enemy.
If that were really the case, it would create nothing but trouble for He Xinyan and the Assassins Organization!
When Zhuang Meifeng talked about the appearance of another person, it must have been true as well. That was because, from Niu Fenjiao’s phone call, Sun Tianbiao knew that both sides were at a stand-still. Neither was able to overpower the other. Otherwise, Niu Fenjiao wouldn’t have had the opportunity to call him.
Niu Fenjiao was Sun Tianbiao’s first wife. Obviously, he understood Niu Fenjiao’s temper more than anyone else. If the situation hadn’t taken a sudden turn, causing the Sun Family to be at a disadvantage, there was no way she would have filed for divorce after calling him!
In that case, who could have been the person who appeared? Was it that top-tier expert above Xiantian Realm Level Seven?
Why were all the bystanders’ memories of that night completely wiped?
This matter was far more complicated and mysterious than Sun Tianbiao could have ever imagined. It was completely out of his grasp.
Perplexed, Sun Tianbiao’s face revealed none of his worries, but he continued staring straight at Zhuang Meifeng as he said in a deep voice, “You must be lying!”
Sun Tianbiao was a disciple of the Shaolin Temple. With these words, he used the orthodox Buddha’s Lion Roar. Even though it wasn’t loud, within Zhuang Meifeng’s ears, his voice was thunderous!
He was testing to see if that top-tier expert behind her back would step in if he used this ability on her!
Between a regular girl, who didn’t know martial arts at all, and a Xiantian Realm Level One expert, their abilities were too far apart. In an instant, Zhuang Meifeng’s delicate frame trembled violently, unable to withstand his power!
With this shout, Zhuang Meifeng’s steely gaze faded to a blank stare as her rosy face turned pale. However, she stubbornly responded, “No! I’m not!”
After his shout, how could Sun Tianbiao not be quivering in fear? He braced himself for an attack. In an instant, he increased his Xiantian Qi to its limits as he directed all his attention to the entrance, waiting nervously for that “top-tier expert” to appear.
The tension in the living room rose to its limits as silence pierced through the entire room, as though they were awaiting a huge enemy.
After fifteen seconds, nothing happened at all. Rejoicing in his heart, Sun Tianbiao released a huge sigh of relief.
So it was just a scare!
After he calmed his wits, Sun Tianbiao suddenly felt ridiculous for his fear just a moment ago. If an expert over Xiantian Realm Level Seven had shown up, why would he even bother to hide?
Furthermore, he wouldn’t even have to put Zhuang Meifeng at risk. All he had to do was show up in person and say “the Zhuang Family is with me”. Hearing that, Sun Tianbiao would have definitely retreated, taking all of his experts to escape from the Zhuang residence! He would flee as far as he possibly could!
Thinking up until this point, Sun Tianbiao couldn’t hold back a pang of rage. A flash of killing intent seeped through his eyes as he glared at Zhuang Meifeng with his nostrils flaring. “You dare to intimidate me like this!”
With his Buddha’s Lion Roar, his eyes were filled with killing intent, enabling Zhuang Meifeng to understand what a true cultivator’s oppression meant!
She immediately understood why Ling Yun was so obsessed with cultivation that he spent nearly every day training without even returning to the rental house!
Even more so than that, she realized how Ling Yun had been tolerating such immense stress under his seemingly casual and relaxed facade!
While Ling Yun was keeping her inside that rental house, he put himself through life-and-death situations every day to protect her. There were days when he returned late at night, his clothes tattered and body covered in bloodstains…
However, even if this was the case, Ling Yun always smiled cheerfully and casually said, “Don’t worry about me, I’m completely fine…”
Zhuang Meifeng remembered the time when she had chastised Ling Yun for being too violent with Xiao Meimei.
“Don’t overthink it. In future, she’ll be okay after she gets used to it…”
“You woke up so early today. How about you take a nap. I still need to go out to work on my cultivation.”
Recalling the night when she was captured at the Qingming Festival, Ling Yun had come to save her while he shouted this in the face of many strong and unknown enemies.
“Don’t be afraid, your husband is coming to save you now!”
Each and every moment she shared with Ling Yun flashed past her eyes. Feeling a surge of warmth, her emotions threatened to take over as hot tears gathered in her eyes!
Ling Yun has done so much for me, but what have I ever done for him? What can I do for him? Can I only satisfy him in bed with my body?
Zhuang Meifeng’s beautiful eyes were shining with tears. In her eyes, her steely determination returned as she repeated in a steadfast manner, “Everything I’ve said is the truth. It’s up to you to believe it or not!”
Watching from the side, Priestess Desireless couldn’t help but quietly nod. Even though Sun Tianbiao had only used the Lion’s Roar, that wasn’t something a regular person could have withstood. For her to remain sane even though she had received an attack equivalent to being struck by lightning, it further proved her potential and the resilience of her heart!
Sun Tianbiao’s sharp gaze carried a hint of playfulness as he began to ask a series of questions!
“You said another person came, who exactly was that?”
“I already fainted then, how would I know?” Zhuang Meifeng replied while holding her ground.
“While the Assassins Organization and the Sun Family were fighting, what was Ling Yun doing? Where is he now?”
“He…” Zhuang Meifeng was stuck.
“After that night, why did the assassins from the Assassins Organization and people from the Sun Family disappear, while the people from your side were completely fine!”
“Also, according to my investigation, everyone from the Zhuang Family had their memories completely wiped that night, including your parents and your sister. How would you explain that!”
Sun Tianbiao secretly used the Shaolin Lion’s Roar for the last few questions. Each and every word was like a hammer pounding into Zhuang Meifeng’s heart. Being struck so harshly, her rosy cheeks turned paler than never before!
Even though Zhuang Meifeng had already prepared a set of answers for those questions, under Sun Tianbiao’s questioning, she was about to break down at any moment. So, she didn’t dare to answer any of them.
This was akin to an interrogation. Without allowing a person to sleep for days and pushing him to his limits, when you asked a question to this person, they would naturally answer anything you asked.
Sun Tianbiao was an expert at the Xiantian Realm. Without going through such a tedious process, as long as he used Lion’s Roar on Zhuang Meifeng several times to weaken her mental state, once she reached the limits of her sanity, she would definitely tell him everything that happened that night!
“I… don’t… know!” Zhuang Meifeng could feel the buzzing in her ears as her brain turned blank. Clenching her teeth so tightly that they were about to break, she barely managed to force these three words out!
“Hmph!” With a cold scoff, Sun Tianbiao finally stopped his questioning. He had a good grasp of his own abilities. Normally, a regular person would have already lost their sanity if they had withstood his Lion’s Roar that many times. If Zhuang Meifeng hadn’t gone through internal cleansing, she would have confessed long ago.
Even though Sun Tianbiao knew that the expert over Xiantian Realm Level Seven wasn’t here, he didn’t dare to overdo it. If he really forced Zhuang Meifeng to insanity, there was no way the Sun Family would be able to deal with such a calamity.
“Zhuang Meifeng, you’d better think carefully. There isn’t a wall in the world that doesn’t let air seep through! I have lots of time. I’ll definitely find out what’s happening in this matter!”
“I’ll be performing a detailed investigation in the next few days. If I discover that what you’ve said is a lie, I’ll kill your entire family first!”
He said this as he stared at the pale Zhuang Meifeng, who was quivering non-stop and clenching her fists tightly.
Zhuang Meifeng was indeed a beautiful creature in the mortal world. Her beauty was stunning, and as she clenched her teeth and forcefully tolerated his oppression, there was a special kind of delight that Sun Tianbiao felt. It gave him a perverse thrill.
“Sun Tianbiao, you promised this before. You’ll leave our Zhuang Family alone from now on…” After a long time, Zhuang Meifeng began to regain her wits. Perspiration running down her body, she said this with loathing.
Laughing coldly, Sun Tianbiao said, “That’s right, I promised you that. But remember, that was only if you told me the truth!”
“If you thought that you could have me, Sun Tianbiao, dance in the palm of your hands so easily, it’s still too early for you!” With a dramatic wave of his hand, he shouted to the men outside the living room, “Come!”
Hearing Sun Tianbiao’s orders, the two regular experts quickly entered the living room.
“Take Zhuang Meifeng to her family. Without my orders, don’t give her any access to the outside!”
Seeing those two men were about to come and capture her, she used all her strength to stand up from the sofa. Her delicate frame swaying, she grit her teeth and said, “I can walk on my own. Return the letter to me!”
In front of the three great experts, Sun Tianbiao wouldn’t forget about his position either. Returning the letter to Zhuang Meifeng casually, she watched as the two experts escorted her out.
“What do the three of you think about this?” After Zhuang Meifeng left, his expression changed, and he began to discuss the matter with the other three.
Shaolin Temple’s Master Xingchi said, “Amitabha, from my humble perspective, her words seem to be questionable. The incident that happened that night seems to be much more complicated than first imagined!”
Maoshan Sect’s Head Priest Wuchen said, “We can only confirm it after a series of investigations.”
Tranquil Sect’s Priestess Desireless readjusted the grip on her brush lightly and said nothing until the end.
