Chapter 2246: Chapter 1201: Assault on the City (Part 2)

“After helping Sheng Yanlin take over the Academy, we will immediately control Sheng Yanlin and his followers. If anyone dares to resist forcefully, the General Bureau has authorized you to deal with them as you see fit.”

“Grandfather has appointed you as the highest commander on site. In an emergency, you can deploy all the Patrol Defense Office’s forces within Jintong Province.”

“This is also the organization’s trust in you. We believe you won’t neglect your duties for personal matters.”

“You saved Sheng Yanlin once, but in this matter, Sheng Yanlin deceived us and betrayed our trust in him. He is destined to pay the price for this.”

After pondering for a moment, Yang Xiao still couldn’t believe Dean Sheng would betray him. It didn’t make sense. “Miss Gu, could there be some misunderstanding here? In my opinion, Sheng Yanlin is not that kind of person, and such a move is too foolish.”

“He wouldn’t be unaware of the methods of our Patrol Defense Office, not to mention that this involves the Esoteric Sect. If he dared to act like this, he would offend both forces.”

To say the least, the Patrol Defense Office might still consider some reputation in the world of martial arts, but the Esoteric Sect doesn’t care about such things. If Sheng Yanlin dared to betray them and tear up the secret agreement, it would be a surprise if the Cannibal Buddha didn’t grind him to dust.”

“I also hope we’ve got it wrong.” Gu Yunshu sighed. “In any case, if they don’t make a move, neither will we, but it’s better to be prepared.”

“Grandfather is worried that trouble might arise in the process, so he arranged a team to lie in wait near Yiling City.”

“The leader is grandfather’s deputy and also top-level strength of our Patrol General Bureau. With him there, the people from the Union are not a concern.”

“To coordinate with you, grandfather has also sent your good brother. Qu Muzhi is the liaison officer for that team, responsible for contacting you.”

“Understood, no matter the outcome, I will handle it well. The organization can rest assured.” Yang Xiao was clear on what mattered.

“Yang Xiao, this is a great opportunity for you to perform, I hope you won’t disappoint grandfather,” Gu Yunshu said.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiao lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and recalled the moments spent with Sheng Yanlin.

Dean Sheng treated him well. The two had no title of master and disciple, but the reality was they were, and he learned many things from him.

Especially the other’s deep understanding of the Hundred Demons Coffin Clothes helped him greatly. He dared not, nor wanted to believe Sheng Yanlin would stab him in the back.

But what if, the Yiling Academy after all is the foundation of the Sheng Family for a hundred years, generations worth of effort, for the sake of the Academy, Sheng Yanlin might do anything. Yang Xiao couldn’t gamble on his conscience.

The problem now is if Sheng Yanlin does rebel, how should he be handled?

Capturing him alive, there’s no guarantee he won’t reveal the secrets of the Hundred Demons Coffin Clothes during interrogation. If that happens, Yang Xiao would be exposed, leading to endless trouble.

No choice, he’ll have to ensure Sheng Yanlin stays silent forever.

Yang Xiao slowly exhaled, murmuring, “I hope Dean Sheng won’t let me down…”

Because of Sheng Yanlin, Yang Xiao tossed and turned for a long time before feeling sleepy. But shortly after falling asleep, he was awakened by a hurried knock on the door, with someone notifying him to go to the conference room immediately.

When Yang Xiao rushed to the conference room, even before entering, he heard a “crash” sound, like someone had forcefully smashed a teacup.

Yang Xiao pushed the door open and heard a roar:

“How unfortunate the family is, this beast, I want to kill him! Grind him to dust!”

At this moment, Yang Xiao was also stunned. Dean Sheng, usually steady, now looked like he was going crazy. The teacup shattered on the ground, and blood kept dripping down his hands.

At this moment, two Provincial Bureau Chiefs from the Patrol Defense Office, including Hong Anguo, and Elder Mo Qing from the Mo Family, as well as Liu Hanzheng from the Law Enforcement Hall of the Liu Family, were all in the conference room. Everyone’s face looked very grim, clearly, something major had happened.

“What’s going on? Why is Dean Sheng so angry?” Yang Xiao quietly asked Hong Anguo, whom he was familiar with.

The atmosphere in the conference room was oppressive. Hong Anguo seemed worried about agitating Dean Sheng and spoke in a low voice: “The intelligence department just received news that today at noon, Sheng Jingxuan is getting married, and the venue is at Yiling Academy.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao was stunned, taking a while to react: “What?! At his age, why would he be getting married?”

“We all underestimated him. This time, the wife he’s marrying is no ordinary person; she’s from the Bone Painting Tower, and is the adoptive daughter of the Huagubiao Tower Master.” Hong Anguo lowered his voice.

“What the hell…”

Even Yang Xiao was shocked by Sheng Jingxuan’s brazen act. He didn’t expect someone to be so shameless.

Sheng Jingxuan, considered the legitimate bloodline of Yiling Academy, and Yiling Academy being a notable force in the world of martial arts, actually stooped low to marry the adoptive daughter of the Bone Painting Tower Master.

If this marriage alliance succeeded, Sheng Jingxuan would become the adoptive son of the Bone Painting Tower Master, and Yiling Academy would become a subordinate force under the Bone Painting Tower.

No wonder Sheng Yanlin was so furious. Sheng Yanlin greatly valued reputation and face. To tarnish Yiling Academy’s reputation like this was more unbearable than killing him.

“Sheng Jingxuan, that beast, I’ll personally kill him. I… Hai… Hai Hai…” In his fury, Sheng Yanlin was overcome with a rush of anger and directly spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Dean Sheng!”

Yang Xiao hurried to assist, Sheng Yanlin swaying a few times, nearly falling.

“Dean Sheng, you must take care of your health. We will definitely help you find justice in this matter!” Elder Mo Qing advised.
