Chapter 510 – Wish of Her Mother; An Evil Person (11)
From that point forward, nobody else looked into the event again. Now that he had learned about this news, and from First Elder no less, how could he not be furious. He hadn’t expected that it was the work of one of them, and the most well-respected First Elder at the Cheng’s to top.
Had he not said it himself, Elder would never have believed that. He couldn’t help but roared, “Say it. Why? Why did you do it? Why did you have to harm the once in a hundred years genius disciple of the Cheng’s?”
“I did what was the right thing to do. Didn’t you know that this Cheng Biyuan was a ‘b*stard’? He wasn’t good enough to be a part of our Cheng’s. If it wasn’t for his mother, do you think he will still be alive right now?”
First Elder’s face was filled with disdain. His look was that of righteousness, as though he only did it for the best interest of the Cheng’s.
“You are an animal….” Elder’s eyes were blood-shot. His entire body radiated killer’s intent.
That very moment, he couldn’t contain himself anymore. Even though he knew that he was no match to First Elder, he still wanted to strangle him right there right now.
“How dare you!”
First Elder was enraged again and a tremendous qi radiated out of him like waves in a thunderstorm.
That very moment, Elder an immense unseen pressure pressed up against him that almost stopped his breathing.
Everyone was but ants under a martial emperor.
Elder had truly experienced that saying now. He believed that had the b*stard wanted to kill him, it’d be easier than trying to squash an ant.
Unjust and unreconciled feeling bubbled up from inside of him. It would be so small feat for him to avenge his family.
“Hrm, Eleventh Elder, I do not suggest for you to challenge my patience. Otherwise…”
He casted him a cold glance and said in a somber voice, “As far as I am concerned, you are still Eleventh Elder and that is not going to change. From this point forward, you must funnel us the Cheng’s resources and also figure out the secret behind their success. The next time I come to visit, it had better not be a wasted trip. Otherwise, be prepared to take care of the dead bodies of your two remaining family members!”
“Don’t even think about it. You will not get anything from me in this lifetime!” Elder’s face was completed twisted from anger and making him seemed very ferocious. He was so angry he could explode.
“Hrm!”
First Elder sneered unconcerned. With a wave of First Elder’s arm, Elder, who was just about to say something else, suddenly froze in the middle of his action with his mouth ajar.
With a flick of his fingers, First Elder sent a red pill straight inside Elder’s mouth and immediately Elder felt a sliver of warmth that went down his throat.
First Elder stood up slowly with the most insidious look in his eyes and said, “Remember, even if you don’t care about your two young ones at home, this drug alone is enough to make you wish that you were dead. By then, you would kill them yourself if I ask you to.
“Don’t let me down. When we are done here, I will allow you and your family to return to Capital City add you to our genealogy. On top of that, whatever you got from Cheng Biyuan we will give you 30% of them. Don’t be greedy. We will give you a fair share of what you deserve!”
Having said that, the silhouette of First Elder disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Elder, who was under his control, could finally move again.
Elder looked cold and hard but not desperate. Quite the opposite, he looked very severe. His gritted his teeth so hard that they were making a clattering sound. “You think you could control me like that? No way in h*ll!”
Walking over to a chair and sitting down, Elder employed a mantra to see if he could force the poison out of his body.
An incense time later, cold sweat poured down Elder’s beet red face. He opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of bright red blood!
Wiping away the blood at the corners of his mouth, Elder opened his eyes and, with the most determinant look, said to himself, “Since I can’t get it out, I guess I will just have to die. I shall not never bow down to them!
“But, no. I must return to Sacred Land Zhongyuan first. No matter what, I just let the housemaster know about the truth. I refuse to believe that nobody could kill this old b*stard. Someone needs to get rid of him for the Cheng’s. He had already killed too many innocents. In a few years’ time, Capital City Cheng’s will disappear from this continent altogether.”
Once he had made up his mind, Elder’s calmed down slowly. He employed his mind’s eyes and immediately found out that his guards had been knocked unconscious but, luckily, they were still alive.
Walking out, he carried his two hidden guards into a different room.
After the sun had came up, Elder exchanged a few words with another elder, took his ride and headed toward Sacred Land Zhongyuan.
“What did you just say?!”
Cheng Biyuan had lost it again. His eyes were widened and he was looking at Elder with disbelief as though he hoped to see something different from the Elder.
But all he saw was the same look on the Elder, solemnness and seriousness.
“He came to my place last night. Had he not said so himself, I could never believe it.” The Elder couldn’t be any calmer at this moment, as those he wasn’t the one who was enraged the night before.
“It was him?!”
Cheng Biyuan, who had just jumped up from the chair, sat back down. There were shock, anger, suspicion, and all sorts of emotions in his eyes.
“Housemaster, he had also fed me poison and wanted to control me that way. He wanted to control Sacred Land Zhongyuan so you will serve him.”
Elder went on nonchalantly, as though all he had was but a glass of water. “We must be on the look out for him. He was a vicious one and he wouldn’t give up easily.”
“You were poisoned?!”
