Chapter 1284 - 1284: Start Taking Action Against Men Clan

Even though Guan-Yong's guardians felt worried and curious, they did not dare to ask any questions beyond their duty. Just seeing that their young master was all right, they were glad. They hurriedly followed the young man's orders to clean up the area and put the bodies of the injured and dead onto the carriages before returning to the clan.

As for Zheng-Fu, after he had carried the assassin leader away from Guan-Yong's group for a while, he violently dropped that man to the ground.

Thud!

Augh!

"Who... who are you? How dare you interfere with the Dark Crescent Secret Force's business?"

Augh!

Thud!

"You still haven't lost your strength after being dealt with so severely. It seems that your organization has trained you very well."

Zheng-Fu did not expect the assassin to be so tough. Although his clone figures did not use much energy to deal with him, it was enough to almost kill the advanced Deity Monarch Stage assassin. However, this assassin still looked as strong as if he had only been beaten a few times. So, to shut up the assassin, Zheng-Fu gave him a hard kick in the face with one-hundredth of his energy.

Can you shut up already?!

"All right! Let's start searching for the information."

[Spirit Seal Skill: First Stage; Truth-Seeking]

Blop!

Auuugh!

Whooooosh!!!

Zheng-Fu did not want all the information, and he had a lot of time, so he chose the first stage of searching instead of consuming all of the victim's memories. Although the first stage took quite a long time, he had a way to obtain the important information, which should have only taken a few hours.

Two hours later…

Crock!

Sigh…

"Isn't it said that assassins have strong willpower? Why did this guy die so easily? Unfortunately, I haven't gotten much important information yet."

After two hours, the assassin finally could not withstand the Spirit Seal Skill. He died instantly, and his spiritual energy was also depleted. This caused Zheng-Fu to lose connection with his memories.

Although it was a pity, Zheng-Fu had obtained quite a bit of the information he needed, whether it was about the Dark Crescent Secret Force or the person who hired them to kill Guan-Yong and his people.

"I didn't expect the Men Clan to be behind these matters. It seems that I have to quickly wipe this rotten clan out of this world!"

The one who ordered to kill Guan-Yong and his guardians was actually the Men Clan. As for the reason, this assassin did not know either. So, Zheng-Fu did not know much more than the identity of the person who hired him. But if he wanted to see the reason, he would have to go to the Men Clan. He had already planned to deal with the Men Clan, so he took this opportunity to do it at the same time.

After Guan-Yong returned to the clan, chaos instantly broke out within the Guan Clan. Because Guan-Yong was the son of the clan leader, being injured and attacked was no small matter. Guan Clan, therefore, quickly investigated who was behind this matter.

Apart from the Guan Clan, the Sang Clan was also in turmoil. On the same day, many of their businesses were attacked, and many properties were destroyed. However, the Sang Clan was not as lucky as the Guan Clan, which could search for information on the perpetrators. It was more difficult for the Sang Clan to find out the truth, but it was not like they did not know anything.

As for the Men Clan, the mastermind, when they heard that the operation against Guan-Yong failed, they felt a bit uneasy. But that was because they didn't know that many of the assassins they had hired had been captured. If they had known, they would have been extremely worried. Nevertheless, they did not remain idle. They increased the strictness of guard duties around the clan and prepared various tactical formations to be ready to deal with unexpected situations.

The next morning, in a tavern in the capital city...

"Did you guys hear that Young Master of Guan Clan was ambushed?"

"Not only did I hear it, but I also saw it with my own eyes. Many guardians were in terrible condition, and many corpses were brought back. From what I saw, it was definitely not the work of the demon monster beast hordes.

Umm...

"Who's so bold as to insult the Guan Clan like this?"

"Who else could it be but the Dark Crescent Secret Force? They're an assassin force that doesn't care about anyone's status. If anyone has money to hire them, they'll take the job!"

Sigh…

"The war between us and the demon monster beast hordes is already bad enough, now we've to confront these heartless assassins, how can our city be peaceful?"

"You act like you care about these things. I didn't see you participating in the last war. Don't try to make yourself look good!"

"Aren't you just like me?!"

It's both of you!

'I have already thought it would be a big deal. But from what I saw, the Guan Clan didn't get any information from those assassins; otherwise, they would have made a move by now. What I didn't expect was that the Sang Clan was also attacked. This isn't a small matter. Could it be that what happened to the Sang Clan has something to do with the Men Clan too?!'

Zheng-Fu was also in that tavern, so he heard the conversations of those people. Aside from Guan Yong, they also mentioned that the Sang Clan suffered because many of their businesses were attacked. Zheng-Fu thought that this was definitely not a coincidence. The Guan Clan and Sang Clan had a good relationship with each other, and the two clans often conflicted with the Men Clan over interests.

"Master, here's your food and liquor, sir. But we only have one jar of the liquor you ordered, as recently someone purchased a large quantity of our Fragrant Bamboo Liquor. So, we only have a few jars of this liquor left. And this is the last jar, sir."

Umm!

"It's fine, just one jar is enough."

Zheng-Fu did not think much of it. He ordered two jars of liquor because most people usually order this amount. However, since there was only one jar left, he did not think of ordering another type of liquor instead or expressing his dissatisfaction.

Thank you, Master, for understanding!

Umm…

Half an hour later, at the entrance of Men Clan…

Stop!

"This is the Men Clan. What business do you have here?"

"I came to see Fourth Elder Men-Sen, Brother."

See Fourth Elder?

"Did you make an appointment?!"

"No, I didn't. But Master Fourth Elder told me to bring this to you guys and let you bring it to him directly."

Hah?!

All right!

"Then you wait here. I'll bring it to Fourth Elder right now!"

Thank you, Brother!

The middle-aged man in his thirties who was talking to the Men Clan's guards at the entrance gate was actually Zheng-Fu in disguise. And what he handed over to the guards was a recording jade that recorded the super fun story between Fourth Elder's wife and Third Elder, but the motion picture recorded in that jade was rather short.

Not long after that...

Where is he?!

"Where is the person who gave me this jade?!"

Shortly after the guard entered, a loud shout filled with mixed emotions came from behind the entrance gate, before a middle-aged man walked out and looked left and right for someone. He was, of course, Fourth Elder Men-Sen.

This man, sir, Master Elder!

Hah!

You?!

Men-Sen looked in the direction the guard pointed before he saw a man standing calmly without any distress, even though he was facing him, who was an eighth-level Great Deity Stage cultivator.

"Comrade, please tell me who you are?"

Although Men-Sen did not know who the man was or how strong he was, due to his interest in the recording jade, he tried to suppress his emotions and asked the man politely.

"I, Fu-Zheng, am pleased to meet you, Elder Men-Sen. Do you like the gift I gave you?"

Zheng-Fu smiled slightly before answering Men-Sen and asking about his satisfaction with the recording jade.

Umm!

"Of course! I'm very interested in it, but the gift you gave me is too small. Do you have..."

"Sure! But are we going to talk about this here?"

Although Men-Sen did not say it directly, Zheng-Fu knew what the other party wanted to say. No one would dare to say such a shameless and embarrassing thing. Moreover, he was the one who sent the recording jade to Men-Sen; how could he not know what the other party wanted? But since the place was not suitable for talking about such things, Zheng-Fu hinted to Men-Sen to invite him inside.

Ah!

"Then, please, Comrade Fu-Zheng, come in first. I'll take you to the private area." Hearing Zheng-Fu's words, Men-Sen immediately understood and hurriedly invited Zheng-Fu to talk inside. Because if they talked there, everyone would definitely hear and know that his wife had an affair.

Thank you, Master Elder Men!

After a while, Men-Sen brought Zheng-Fu to a quiet house, which was very suitable for talking about secret matters. From what Zheng-Fu had checked, there was no one hiding around the house. That meant the other party really wanted to talk to him. Or else, it was because Men-Sen was confident that he could deal with Zheng-Fu by himself alone.

In the living room of a house in the Men Clan's territory…

Comrade!

"I wonder how you got this recording jade?"

As soon as he entered the room, Men-Sen did not hesitate to ask Zheng-Fu anxiously. In fact, he was feeling restless and could hardly control himself.

"It doesn't matter how I got it. What matters is what you will give me in return?" Zheng-Fu did not answer the question but asked about the reward he would receive.

Umm!

"Then what do you want in return? If it's not too much, I'll gladly give it to you. But if it's too much…, I won't give you anything!"

Men-Sen immediately frowned when Zheng-Fu demanded the reward. However, his expression soon returned to normal. He told Zheng-Fu to say what he wanted first. If what Zheng-Fu asked for was too much, he might as well not give him anything and just use force to snatch that recording jade. Being in Men Clan's territory, it would not be difficult for him to take action against this stranger and slander him so that he would be justified in doing so.

"I'd like to warn you not to even think about doing it. Because another recording jade I made a copy of will be released immediately when I'm harmed!"

Hah!
