Chapter 399: The Thieves Ambush the Bandit!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Hmph, did that old priestess really think that she found a treasure? Zhuang Meifeng is nothing more than a ticking bomb. You’ll never know when she will actually destroy the Tranquil Sect!

Sun Tianbiao was overwhelmed with rage. However, in his heart, he was waiting for the person who performed internal cleansing on Zhuang Meifeng to show up. When he did, there would be a huge commotion at the Tranquil Sect.

However, Sun Tianbiao also gave his men orders. He told them to put the remaining three from the Zhuang Family on house-arrest, but also reminded them not to make things difficult for the family.

In his heart, Sun Tianbiao knew that even though that old priestess from the Tranquil Sect was a cultivator of the Tranquil Technique, she was actually more vicious than any other person around. If they had truly agitated her, the Sun Family would have no choice but to submit to her rage.

On the very same day, Sun Tianbiao ordered his men to take Zhuang Tiande and his family to Qingshui Wharf’s residential area. Assigning bodyguards to watch over them, he only planned to return their freedom to them once he had killed Ling Yun and left Qingshui City.

Other than being a millionaire, Zhuang Tiande was actually the weakest party in the entire situation. Even though the issue had happened in his house, the Zhuang Family was mostly uninvolved. There was no need for Sun Tianbiao to threaten the Zhuang Family.

Even though the Zhuang Family didn’t have to be dealt with, Ling Yun was still a person that must be killed. Even if he disappeared, Sun Tianbiao was going to persecute everyone related to Ling Yun. Otherwise, the Sun Family would lose face.

However, Sun Tianbiao couldn’t have expected that the number of people protecting Ling Yun was increasing just as he began oppressing Ling Yun further with his schemes!

On top of government officials like Li Yifeng and Tang Tianhao, the mafia Green Dragon was also secretly protecting Ling Yun. China’s top physician, Xue Zhengqi, had officially challenged the Sun Family and established their stance to protect Ling Yun!

With Miracle Doctor Xue’s interference, many of Sun Tianbiao’s ploys failed. Both sides reached a stand-still. Even though the Sun Family clearly had the upper-hand, both sides couldn’t achieve their objectives. Just like this, they were waiting for a new opportunity to present itself to them.

On Saturday night, Ling Yun finally returned to Qingshui City. On Sunday morning, Ling Yun tore apart Gou Liancheng’s demolition office with his flashy appearance. Furthermore, he demolished two of Tian Botao’s mansions in front of everyone!

Sun Tianbiao had received news of Ling Yun’s return immediately. However, there was no way he could make a move during the day. Once he found out that Luo Zhong was thoroughly taken down by Ling Yun, he was so angry that he slammed the table and broke it into two. He cursed Luo Zhong for his incompetence!

Sun Tianbiao withheld the news that Zhuang Meifeng had been taken by the Tranquil Sect. Stationing all of the experts at Zhuang Tiande’s western mansion, he waited for Ling Yun to fall into his trap as he personally brought men to capture Tang Tianhao for questioning.

Sun Tianbiao obviously didn’t expect the experts to have already been completely wiped out by Ling Yun. The casualties were left as they were, except for Bi Yuanjia, the one who led the way for them.

Actually, Sun Tianbiao was unlucky as well. Zhuang Meifeng wasn’t the only witness who still remembered the night of the Qingming Festival. There were still Tang Meng, Tie Xiaohu, Xue Meining, and Cao Shanshan!

Naturally, Xue Meining didn’t dare to make a move. One week ago, Cao Shanshan had returned to the Cao Family. In Qingshui City, Sun Tianbiao didn’t dare to make a move either.

However, there were two people whom Sun Tianbiao could have captured. As long as he captured one of the two, with Sun Tianbiao’s abilities and powers, they would have definitely spilled everything!

They were Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu!

Unfortunately, these two were simply far too inconspicuous. Sun Tianbiao only had thoughts of capturing them, but he didn’t expect these two to have taken part in the entire operation that night.

Furthermore, one had already been captured by the Public Security Bureau, and the other was hospitalized by Xie Junyan. Even so, Sun Tianbiao completely neglected these two “small figures”.

Right now, Sun Tianbiao captured a seemingly important figurehead, Tang Tianhao. He was currently being interrogated in Qingshui Wharf Mansion Number One.

When Sun Tianbiao had met Tang Tianhao, he couldn’t help but feel deeply disturbed. That was because Tang Tianhao had gone through the internal cleansing as well!

“Can internal cleansing and obtaining a brand new body even be something that is mass-produced?” Seeing this, Sun Tianbiao was quite surprised as he broke into a nervous sweat.

He was perturbed!

“Deputy Director Tang, you don’t have to be so worried. The reason I brought you here was to lure Ling Yun out. Once he shows his face, I’ll make sure that you leave in one piece.”

He captured yet another person that shouldn’t be oppressed. Sun Tianbiao could only acknowledge that he was unlucky. However, Ling Yun had already appeared. As long as Ling Yun was captured, everything would come to light. There was no need for him to force anything out of Tang Tianhao.

With Tang Tianhao’s nerves of steel, he was calm and smiling. “Mr. Sun, you don’t actually have to use so many resources to look for Ling Yun. Based on my understanding of him, he’ll come looking for you on his own.”

Sun Tianbiao laughed casually as he asked, “Oh? But this time, Ling Yun has yet to show up. Aren’t you worried at all?”

Tang Tianhao looked up as he laughed. “Since Mr. Sun is saying it like that, I’m getting a little worried too. However, I’m worried for you!”

“Is that so? Then let’s see how this turns out.” Sun Tianbiao laughed coldly. Ignoring Tang Tianhao, he began to close his eyes and rest.

...

Inside Zhuang Family’s western mansion.

Corpses were scattered as blood flowed like a river. The entire mansion had decapitated limbs sprawled everywhere. A regular person wouldn’t have been able to control their gag reflex if they chanced upon this gruesome scene.

Two masked men in black quietly landed on the grass at the mansion. Seeing the corpses strewn on the floor, their gazes were unbearably heavy.

“Lei Sheng, we’ve come a step too late tonight. They’re all finished!” The shorter man in black said in a deep voice.

Lei Sheng nodded solemnly. Turning to look at the entrance suddenly, he said, “There’s still some alive, let’s go take a look!”

The shorter man in black was called Jie Fei. He nodded slightly. With a flash of movement, he traveled forty meters as he followed Lei Sheng’s silhouette to the entrance.

There were indeed a few people who suffered heavy injuries and hadn’t died yet. There were also the three experts whom Ling Yun didn’t kill, allowing them to live.

Lei Sheng supported a heavily injured expert at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Eight and asked, “Tell me. Who killed all of them? Where did he go?”

“Devil’s... Blade... Qingshui Wharf... Mansion... Number One! Hurry...”

“What did you say! What blade!” Hearing this, Lei Sheng was in shock.

“It’s the Devil’s Underworld Essence Blade! It has reappeared!” Without waiting for this expert to reply, another heavily injured expert replied on his behalf. That person was indeed the one who had begged Ling Yun to let him off. His right arm had been completely severed, while his two legs had been pierced with metallic nails. All he had left was his life.

“The Devil’s Blade? Was it really here?” Lei Sheng muttered as he suddenly said to Jie Fei, “You should report this matter immediately. These people won’t die just yet. You can stay here to take care of them. I’m heading to Qingshui Wharf residential area now. Hopefully, I’ll make it in time!”

Without finishing his words, his entire body soared into the air. Flipping in the air several times, he landed on a tree branch a hundred meters away!

...

A kilometer away, outside Mansion Number One at Qingshui Wharf...

Bi Yuanjia lifted his finger and pointed somewhere high above as he said in a low voice, “The largest mansion there is Mansion Number One. The entire Zhuang Family is inside. They got here yesterday and have been there for two days.”

Ling Yun knew where Mansion Number Nine was. Calculating the distance, he figured that Bi Yuanjia was speaking the truth, so he nodded.

“Alright, you can go now. I’ll tell you this, your Qinggong is pretty good!”

Hearing this, Bi Yuanjia froze for a moment as he asked in shock, “D-do you really intend to let me go?”

Ling Yun had just killed everyone mercilessly. He saw it happen with his own two eyes. However, he earned a chance to survive by leading the way. He felt that it was simply incomprehensible.

Without any warning, the Devil’s Blade reappeared in his left hand. Speaking in a deep voice, Ling Yun said, “What? If you want to die now, I’ll give you a free trip there!”

“Leave Qingshui City immediately. Go as far as you can, got it?”

Bi Yuanjia didn’t expect Ling Yun would change his mind instantly. Hurriedly clasping his fists together, he replied awkwardly, “I’ll leave right away, thank you for your kindness!”

Finishing his words, he dared not stay behind. With a flash of movement, he traveled seventy meters away. His feet tapping the tree twig lightly, he disappeared deep into the forest.

Bi Yuanjia had exerted nearly all of his strength as his body sprinted as fast as lightning. After desperately escaping seven kilometers away, he began to throw up profusely on the ground!

It wasn’t that Bi Yuanjia hadn’t seen corpses before. However, he had never seen a single person kill so many people in a single breath. Furthermore, he didn’t even bat an eye!

“Are you done? After you’re done, tell me why you’re running so desperately in the middle of the night. And why are you puking?”

After he was done, Bi Yuanjia felt a little better, but right behind him, an angelic voice resounded!

Looking back in shock, Bi Yuanjia saw a girl in white clasping a sword in her right hand. A soft scarf masked her face, and her skin was snowy-white. With mesmerizing features, her long skirt floated in the wind as if she were an esteemed fairy that had landed from the nine heavens!

...

“Going in to save them is useless. Even if you do that, they would just become a burden... We’d better decide who we need to kill first! After we destroy their battle power, we’ll talk about our next move. If we fight them three on three, we’ll definitely be at a disadvantage!”

After Bi Yuanjia left, Ling Yun discussed his strategy with Cui Lao and Dugu Mo.

This time, they were facing three Xiantian Realm experts. At the moment, be it his momentum or killing intent, he was at his peak. However, he didn’t dare to make any guarantees.

“Who do we kill first?” Dugu Mo asked matter-of-factly.

Ling Yun chuckled. “The thieves ambush the bandit first. We kill Sun Tianbiao first! When the time comes, make sure to block his escape route!”

“There’s no need to cover our tracks! Let’s go!”
