Chapter 649: Chapter 284 Great Transformation True Qi
On a night of pitch-black moon and howling wind, it’s a heaven-made for murder and arson.
Tonight, there may be no arson, but quite a number of people have already died.
Inside the main house of Tihu Village, several bodies now lay sprawled across the ground.
Aside from the Sect Leader Chang Shixin of the Divine Leg Sect, who was initially torn in two by the bearers, there were even more dead from the lineage of Wangxuan Mountain.
A sugar-roasted chestnut was embedded in the brow of Grandma Fei Yan.
It had penetrated deep into her brain, and she died with lingering grievances.
Old Ghost, who was accompanied by Ghost Crow, was now decapitated, and the Ghost Crow had also stopped moving entirely in a pool of blood.
At this very moment, the sound of the wind was howling through the hall.
A pallid-faced bearer, his face full of smiles, was showcasing his movement technique, flying through the hall while dodging a longsword that was only three inches from him.
The longsword was held in the hands of Swordsman old man.
His swordsmanship was crisp and fierce, unique in style, and with a sudden stir of his sword edge, thousands of rays of light shot towards the bearer, targeting his vital points.
But this bearer was always able to dodge the sword’s edge with ease at the last possible moment.
Then, with a snap of his fingers or a wave of his fist, he would effortlessly manipulate the blade’s three-foot-long edge.
The Master of Wangxuan Mountain sat quietly in the main hall, his face as rigid as if carved from stone, without the slightest change, yet his eyes were filled with an extreme gravity.
And when he occasionally looked at the man he had previously conversed with, his animosity was even greater.
Actually, this person was not officially a member of Wusheng Hall, but on the surface, he was a Jianghu Wanderer with no Sect affiliation.
He had a nickname, known as Black Heart Rat, called Ding Wugong.
Black Heart implied that his appearance was kind but his heart was ruthless, and the word Rat added a sense of cunning and slyness to his character.
Since Ding Wugong stepped into Jianghu, he has been known for committing heinous deeds.
At first, these were just minor disturbances that didn’t cause much of a stir.
That was until one day he took a fancy to a daughter of a wealthy family, intending to take her as his concubine.
As it turned out, her family was well-connected locally and had ties to a Sect, and they flatly refused.
Bearing resentment, Ding Wugong led men to their residence in the dead of night and ended up binding the entire family of over a hundred members.
He asked whether the young lady was willing?
If not, he threatened to start killing, one by one.
With their lives hanging in the balance, the young lady had no choice but to nod her head in agreement and leave with Ding Wugong.
How could her family sit back and let their daughter fall into the hands of such a monstrous man?
They immediately sought help from the local Sect, which had close ties to the family, and since Ding Wugong was merely a notorious villain, their involvement was a matter of duty.
They sent people overnight to apprehend him, and eventually the young lady was rescued.
However, by that time, her innocence had been lost, and after being awakened by her family, she felt too ashamed to live on and took her own life when they weren’t looking.
Ding Wugong then disappeared for three months, pursued by the Sect.
Everyone thought that would be the end of it, but unexpectedly, he reemerged and led people directly into the girl’s family home.
He exterminated the entire family of over a hundred members, sparing no one.
This act utterly enraged the local Sect Leader, who ultimately joined forces with several nearby Sect Leaders to hunt him down.
But just when they were about to capture him, someone from Wusheng Hall sent orders.
They pulled these people into Wusheng Hall claiming urgent business and no time to waste, even for the act of a simple killing.
While nothing was explicitly stated in the end, even a fool could tell that Ding Wugong was undoubtedly deeply connected with Wusheng Hall after this event.
And subsequent events confirmed this as well.
Even though Ding Wugong caused huge troubles, as long as he was within Wusheng Hall’s territory, he always managed to leave unscathed.
Aside from his ruthless actions, Ding Wugong was also notoriously cunning.
The Master of Wangxuan Mountain had previously thought of these as mere rumors—after all, if he were truly clever and cunning, how could he repeatedly make such blunders?
But tonight, he had a full witness of it.
As soon as the grand red sedan arrived, Ding Wugong immediately killed Chang Shixin.
Chang Shixin was with Ding Wugong, yet facing his murder, Ding Wugong did not show the slightest anger. Instead, he sought the intentions of the grand red sedan.
The person inside the grand red sedan claimed to be there for the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron as well, to which Ding Wugong laughed heartily and said:
“Since it’s for the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron, then we have no quarrel.
“Our only purpose is to kill Su Mo, so if your goal is not just for the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron, but also to kill Su Mo, then we still don’t have any conflicts.
“As of now, let’s see what the Master of Wangxuan Mountain thinks?”
With this speech, he directly shifted the disaster onto himself.
The subsequent conversation led to a pact.
Jianghu matters are settled by Jianghu manners, letting their own people fight it out. If one side wins, they go after Su Mo; if they lose, then they turn around and leave without further entanglement.
The Master of Wangxuan Mountain is now at a critical juncture.
In such a situation, the best solution is to silently resolve it privately.
Does he really expect people to charge in, causing a commotion that would resound to the heavens?
Does he think Su Mo is deaf, unable to hear the commotion in Tihu Village?
The two sides thus made an agreement to settle their dispute with a bout within this courtyard.
