Chapter 413: Chapter 367: Breaking the Scheme, Plan Failed (Part 2)
Yang Biao and Feng Lei hurried over.
Yang Shushan glanced at them with a smile. "All taken care of?"
"Yes, not one of them got away. We killed them all!" Yang Biao quickly replied.
Yang Shushan glanced around again. "Let’s go. Are we heading to Helixi City or Pingjiang City next?"
"Let’s do Helixi first, then Pingjiang..."
"Either is fine. My mission is to follow you all and help take these three cities!"
"The sooner this is over, the sooner I can get back to my grandson!"
"Right, let’s call the local Public Security Bureau first and have them process the scene!"
Yang Shushan said, looking eager to leave.
He had rarely gotten involved in Town Martial Department matters for a long time now.
This was mainly because he had his heart set on retiring.
He just wanted to live out his days in peace, help raise his grandson, and spend time with his children.
To be able to persuade the two trump cards, Yang Shushan and Qu Yan, to come out of retirement this time...
...was truly a last resort. Otherwise, even Old He wouldn’t have had the heart to disturb their lives.
Yang Biao nodded hurriedly. "I’ve already called them. They’re on their way now!"
"Elder Yang, you mean your great-grandson, right?"
"Yes, my great-grandson, hahaha... Let me tell you, the little guy just turned five. He’s a sturdy, adorable kid!"
"And he’s incredibly smart, with a high aptitude for Martial Arts, too!"
"Oh? That’s wonderful! With Elder Yang’s dedicated training, he could certainly achieve great things in the world of Martial Arts in the future!"
"Hmm... I won’t get involved in that. It will be up to him to choose his own path!"
"If he doesn’t enjoy practicing Martial Arts and just wants to be a normal person, this old man won’t force him."
Yang Biao and Feng Lei both nodded.
They had only been making a casual remark.
They had no intention of getting involved in his family’s private affairs.
"Leave a few people here to coordinate with the Public Security Bureau. The rest of us are heading straight to Helixi City!"
"Understood!"
Yang Biao and Feng Lei nodded.
They immediately arranged for a Right Guard squad to remain behind and wait for the Public Security Bureau’s arrival.
Everyone else got in the vehicles and headed straight for Helixi City.
But the impatient Yang Shushan simply transformed into a streak of golden light and departed first.
Watching that golden ribbon of light in the night sky,
Feng Lei sighed. "Looks like Elder Yang has had his heart set on retiring for a while now. After we deal with these Blood Handprint people, I doubt he’ll ever come out of retirement again, huh?"
Sitting in the car, Yang Biao nodded. "They’ve dedicated their entire lives to the Town Martial Department. It’s about time they got a proper rest."
The two exchanged a smile and simply told the driver to head straight for Helixi City.
...
"How are you holding up, little lady? Is the injury serious?"
Shanyang City.
After the bloody battle,
Qu Yan walked out of a nightclub.
He saw Meng Die sitting on the curb outside, resting.
He approached and spoke to Meng Die with a soft chuckle.
The words had barely left his mouth when Meng Die stood up, clutching her shoulder. She shook her head. "I’m sorry to have worried you, Elder Qu. It’s just a minor wound, nothing serious!"
"Good, as long as you’re okay."
"All these foreign barbarians have been taken care of!"
"I just sent a message to Old He. You shouldn’t get involved in what’s next. Head back to Jingzhao and recover. This old man will clear out Meitou and Li’an City for you."
"There’s no need, Elder Qu. It’s just a scratch. I was careless and let one of those foreigners get a sneak attack in!"
"I’ll be fine with a little rest. There are still two cities left, and I must see it through!"
After Meng Die spoke,
she gave Qu Yan a determined look.
Seeing this, Qu Yan smiled.
"You stubborn girl. You’ve been this way since you were a child, and you haven’t changed a bit!"
"Fine. If you feel you’re up to it, let’s go. But don’t you dare push yourself if you start to feel unwell on the road!"
After speaking, Qu Yan took out a small porcelain bottle.
It contained a few medicinal pills, and he handed it to Meng Die.
"I got these from the Elder Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain."
"They’re miraculously effective for both internal and external injuries. Take them. They should provide some relief."
Meng Die took the bottle and quickly bowed. "Thank you, Elder Qu!"
After that, they all got into the vehicle.
"Lord Left Department, where are we off to next?" Wei Shang asked from the passenger seat.
Meng Die glanced at the nightclub outside.
It had already been taken over by the Public Security Bureau, whose agents were inside clearing away the bodies of the Blood Handprint members.
After a long pause, she said, "To Li’an City!"
"Understood!"
Wei Shang nodded and gave the order to head straight for Li’an City.
...
「Late into the night.」
The inky sky was filled with countless stars.
A crescent moon hung high in the sky, shedding its brilliant light.
In the back courtyard of Jinzhong Temple.
Lin Yi sat there, having already finished two pots of tea.
He waited until his phone buzzed with a message from Old He.
After confirming that the situations in both Shanyang City and Shiquan City had been resolved,
Lin Yi could finally relax.
He then turned to glance at Wei Nan, giving him a look.
Wei Nan understood him immediately.
With a nod, he led the Left and Right Guards and headed straight over.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged man was still lost in his own grand scheme.
Shanyang City and Shiquan City.
These were two crucial cities.
He had laid an ambush there, stationing two Star Tempering Realm Martial Artists in each city.
’If the Town Martial Department dares to go there, they’re bound to suffer heavy casualties.’
’Especially Meng Die and Yang Biao’s teams.’
’Once they are crippled, the Town Martial Department will descend into chaos.’
’And when that time comes, I can give the order for the Blood Handprint to counterattack.’
’We could even seize control of the Demon Hunting Bureau and the Town Martial Department.’
’And with that, I’ll have earned great merit at the Blood Handprint headquarters.’
He couldn’t help but smile at the thought.
But at that very moment...
BAM—
The door was kicked open.
The middle-aged man, sitting cross-legged, snapped his eyes open.
Before he could even get angry,
the Left and Right Guards stormed in.
They subdued him on the spot. Wei Nan then walked into the room.
He glanced around, his eyes sweeping over the room.
His gaze finally landed on the man.
The middle-aged man looked at Wei Nan, his gaze cold. "Who are you people?"
Wei Nan smiled. "Town Martial Department."
"The Town Martial Department? What are you doing here? This is a Buddhist temple, not a place for the likes of you..."
"Oh? Is that so?"
"The Town Martial Department can’t be here, but the Blood Handprint can?"
"Or perhaps you’re still lost in your little scheme? Why don’t you call your people in Shanyang City and Shiquan City to get an update?"
"See how well your plan is going."
After Wei Nan spoke,
the middle-aged man’s heart sank. A cold sweat trickled down his back.
For him to say such things, and to even point out the plans for Shanyang City and Shiquan City...
...was proof enough that his scheme had been uncovered.
His plan had already failed.
Instantly, the middle-aged monk’s face fell.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he burst into manic laughter.
"Hahaha..."
Seeing his frenzied state, Wei Nan frowned deeply.
"You think a few of you are enough to take me?"
The next moment, before the middle-aged monk could make a move,
a figure charged in from outside.
"What’s the point in talking? Just kill him!"
With an angry roar, Chu Zhengxiong charged in, wielding his giant blade.
Without a shred of hesitation, he brought the massive blade down viciously on the middle-aged monk’s head.
He had zero tolerance for anyone from the Blood Handprint.
’If it weren’t for them, would those people from the Demon Hunting Bureau have betrayed us?’
’They wouldn’t have met such a miserable end.’
’Half of the captains died because of the Blood Handprint.’
Chu Zhengxiong had been suppressing a bellyful of rage.
Now that he’d finally found the one responsible,
he wanted nothing more than to slice the monk in half.
BOOM—
With a tremendous crash, the giant blade slammed into the spot where the monk had been sitting.
But the monk was gone.
Chu Zhengxiong’s eyes were bloodshot, as if he’d lost all reason.
He twisted at the waist, swinging the giant blade in a horizontal arc behind him.
Wei Nan took the opportunity to lead the Left and Right Guards out of the room and into the courtyard.
The next moment, the monk shot out of the room.
He hurriedly glanced around the courtyard.
He saw an old monk sitting fearfully on a stone bench.
Beside the old monk sat a young man,
leisurely sipping tea.
When their eyes met, Lin Yi smiled.
"Don’t look at me. You should be worried about the one inside."
The words had barely left his lips when Chu Zhengxiong charged out again, brandishing his giant blade.
