If I don't let you think I'm regretting it, I'm afraid you'll kill me for my pride.
When An Zheng left Zaocang, it was already dark.
The streets of Nanshan Street were very quiet, not a single passerby could be seen. He walked to the entrance of the Great Kou Hall and discovered that there was a light burning inside. Then, he saw that other than Kou Ba and Kou Liu, all the other corpses were hung on the ceiling beams. Those corpses were already stiff, and were still shaking slightly. In the shadows of the study room, there seemed to be an evil spirit sitting there, staring coldly at An Zheng.
This was not the first time An Zheng had experienced this, so he was not afraid.
After leaving the Grand Canyon, An Zheng headed towards the entrance of his own small courtyard. Then his heart tightened, for he saw that his own house was also lit, and that it was still light when he left.
He saw a person sitting at the entrance to the courtyard, grinning viciously.
Chapter 21 - Third Uncle
In fact, there were a lot of things happening every day in the Fantasy City. To the people of the Nanshan Street, the destruction of the Great Vulture Hall and the death of the Chen Family were considered a big event. But to the Fantasy City, these things were really nothing. If the Fantasy City was considered a small martial arts world, then this place was also a place where all evil gathered.
An Zheng saw the person who was grinning at his door, and also saw the person who was sitting at the bottom.
Du Shoushou's body was tightly bound and his mouth was gagged. He should have fainted lying on the ground.
Chen Pu sat on Du Shoushou's body and looked at him with an evil grin.
"Can't you think of it?"
Chen Pu asked.
An Zheng took a deep breath, feeling a kind of regret in his heart. In this world, these kinds of scenes were constantly playing out. When he was in the Great Western Ming Fa Si, every day, he would come into contact with the evils in human nature. After being reborn in this destitute Mount Cang Man, he still came into contact with these things. At this moment, An Zheng had a strange feeling. Maybe the reason he was alive was to eradicate all this evil.
"And here I thought it was a major power that annihilated the Chen Clan."
An Zheng sighed: "So he's actually a traitor."
Chen Pu shrugged his shoulders, "The Chen family owes me this, how many things have I done for the Chen family all these years? I was responsible for most of the Chen family business, and they treated me like a dog. I'm just getting my stuff back, because I created it all. The elders of the Chen family were nothing more than trash. I have already taken back all the debts owed to me by the Chen family for all these years, and now, I will take back all the debts that you owe me. "
He pointed at his arm. "You crippled one of my son's arms. It hurts more than my own arm."
An Zheng replied, "Because that's at the most critical moment of your plan, so in order to prevent any unforeseen events from unfolding, even if I crippled your son's arm, you still have to endure it. To be able to do this, you can be considered quite a character. "
Chen Pu didn't quite understand the kind of tranquility and indifference that appeared in the expression of this ten-year old child. Because he did not know that out of those people that An Zheng had experienced before, even one of them would be so much more sinister than Chen Pu.
"You don't seem very afraid?"
Chen Pu turned the handle of the dagger in his hand and saw a ring on the dagger. His finger was pierced through the ring and the dagger spun around his finger like a windmill. Under the bleak moonlight, the dagger seemed so cold.
"Actually, I shouldn't be looking down on a child like you. Some people say, big people have to have big hearts. "
Chen Pu laughed and said: "But that's exactly my personality, I will take revenge for any grievances. I can't let you go just because you're young. It's not in accordance with my rules. In my opinion, the younger you are, the more you shouldn't let them go. Because he was young, his future was uncertain. If you get stronger, how am I going to kill you? "However, I am not someone who doesn't have any leeway. It depends on your own performance."
The dagger in his hand flew out and stabbed into the ground right next to An Zheng's feet.
"First cripple your own arm, and I might consider letting your friend go."
Chen Pu pointed at the back of Du Shoushou's head. "This idiot, actually would rather die than say that An Zheng is a bastard."
An Zheng lowered his head to look at the dagger, and then, raised his head to look at Du Shoushou: "Because he knows that I'm not a scoundrel, and you're the one."
"It doesn't matter."
Chen Pu laughed and said: "If I wasn't a bastard, how could I have plotted against the entire Chen family? Right now, only Chen Shaobai that little bastard was still alive. However, the Zaocang had only protected him until daybreak. Tomorrow morning, he will leave the Zaocang's gate, and that will be the day of his death. Before that, you will explore the Infernal Realm first. I never thought there was anything bad about being a bastard, is there anyone in Fantasy City that isn't a bastard? "
"Don't talk about ordinary people, let me tell you a truth."
Chen Pu said word by word, "This place doesn't have any ordinary citizens. Every single person who came to the Fantasy City to settle down had come here because they had done evil before and had nowhere to go. When they entered Fantasy City, the reason they became ordinary people was because they were weak. If they were stronger than others? Would they use their hands to bully him? "Don't be so simple, everyone here, other than those who were born here, may have the blood of slaughter on their hands."
An Zheng nodded his head: "I won't deny that, so Fantasy City shouldn't exist in itself."
Chen Pu pointed to the dagger on the ground: "Don't try to stall for time, I know you guys very well. This damn fatty did have a brother in the Nine Li Sect, but he was just a small errand boy. And you are an orphan, with no family. So no matter how long you delay time, no one will come to save you. "
An Zheng replied: "I do."
Chen Pu was stunned. He looked around vigilantly, then sneered: "Stop bluffing, you are just a lowly bastard. In the Fantasy City, who would save someone who has no value?"
An Zheng said seriously: "I really do."
Chen Pu seemed to really be suspected, so he could not help but look around. This was precisely the weakness of someone like him. Because of his darkness, he was extremely suspicious.
An Zheng laughed: "You're afraid."
Chen Pu laughed madly: "I'm scared? From today onwards, the entire Nanshan Street is mine, am I afraid of you, a brat? My strength has already reached the fifth grade, and with just a finger, I was able to crush a kid like you into dust. You are just an orphan and cannot cultivate. You don't have to pretend to be mysterious. If you really have a helper, why haven't you appeared yet? "
An Zheng said: "My helper, once you see it, you will be dead."
Chen Pu looked around once again, but to no avail.
An Zheng smiled and said: "From the very beginning, I had thought that there was something fishy about this matter. Why is it that when I have a conflict with those lackeys of the Tyrant Faction, it will be worth it for you to appear and smooth things over? That's because you don't want your plans to be affected by the sudden occurrence of a small matter. Why didn't the Chen family use me to injure the members of the tyrant's clan that night to attack the Great Bandits? It's not because you don't have a good chance, but because you've secretly colluded with the Great Coyote Hall. "
"Although the people from the Chen family look down on you, they believe you very much, including Chen Shaobai. You said the opportunity was bad, so they didn't continue to act. But at that time, it was also the beginning when you colluded with the people of the Great Gou Clan and prepared to annihilate the Chen Clan. When those from the Chen Clan finally reacted, they still didn't know who their opponent was. So they had no ch
oice but to send Chen Shaobai to the Zaocang to protect the Chen Family's sole bloodline. "
"Since I've already thought of all these suspicious places, could it be that I really haven't prepared anything?"
An Zheng asked.
This made Chen Pu even more doubtful, but he had no way of thinking, for an orphan like An Zheng, what kind of preparations could he make?
It wasn't because Chen Pu looked down on An Zheng, but because An Zheng really didn't have any capital. He was only a child that was around ten years old. He could not cultivate and was not a genius. Without a foundation, without a backer, what was there to fear from a child like this? However, An Zheng's calmness made the doubt in his heart grow even stronger. He thought back to that night, when Chen Shaobai had said that he wanted to keep An Zheng, he saw that Chen Shaobai thought that it was a young wolf. Then, he looked at An Zheng, and discovered that the terrifying aura on his body was even thicker than that of Chen Shaobai's.
Until now, he still could not understand how An Zheng could have such a temperament.
An Zheng laughed: "Remember, never let others see you clearly before you succeed."
Chen Pu could not understand why An Zheng would say such a thing.
An Zheng bent over and picked up the dagger that was stabbed into the ground, hanging it on his finger and spinning it around, "If you don't tell me, then of course I won't know that you are a level 5 Innate. With your cultivation level, killing me is too easy. If you weren't too proud, you wouldn't have exposed yourself. If you were more cautious, you would have said those words to my body. "
Chen Pu stood up, with a vicious look in his eyes: "I'll turn you into a corpse now."
"Too late."
An Zheng laughed and said: "Do you know why I did such a eye-catching thing in the Zaocang? Just to get people interested in me. They would be curious as to why a child like me would have such good eyesight. Some people get greedy and think that if you control me, you control a road of wealth. I also picked up a bead from the Zaocang. That pearl is not a water python tumor, but a genuine demon beast core. However, I used it to feed the cat. "
"By the way, have you seen my cat?"
Chen Pu's face kept changing, he did not understand what An Zheng meant by saying those words.
"What are you trying to say?"
he asked.
An Zheng remained silent for a while before asking, "Do you think that a third grade Innate realm cultivator would be able to kill you?"
Chen Pu became even more confused, he felt that he could not continue listening to An Zheng's nonsense. This fellow's words seemed to be incoherent, incoherent, and disorderly. But it was just these random words that made Chen Pu a little afraid. He kept having the feeling that something bad was going to happen, so he decided that he had to immediately kill An Zheng and leave this place.
An Zheng placed the cat on the ground and pointed at it. "I obtained a beast core and fed it to it. It's my assistant. Now do you know why I said that? Because I was waiting for it to absorb the power of the crystal core … Chen Pu, do you dare come over now? You may regret it because you can't even beat a cat. "
The white cat was originally standing there lazily. When An Zheng finished speaking, it suddenly raised its head and meowed. That cry actually had the might of a tiger or leopard!
In that moment, Chen Pu even thought that a peerless fierce beast had appeared behind the white cat.
"I'll kill you!"
Chen Pu rushed forward, but suddenly felt a sharp pain from his back. What followed was something ice-cold stabbing into his back again and again. He suddenly turned his head and saw a white-haired Chen Shaobai.
Chen Shaobai also had a dagger in his hand, which pierced into Chen Pu's back more than a hundred times within a second. The position of the heart, the position of the kidney, the position of all the vital points.
"You should have known it was me when he asked you if a third grade Ascendant could kill you."
Chen Shaobai's knife showed no mercy, stabbing as he spoke.
"My strength is far inferior to yours. If he didn't help me attract your attention, if you didn't spend all your remaining vigilance on that cat, how would I be able to kill you? Third Uncle? "
Chen Shaobai flipped over Chen Pu with a kick and stabbed the blade into Chen Pu's chest. After that, he pulled it out and slashed across Chen Pu's throat, "An Zheng and I had a fight inside the Zaocang and everyone knew that I would leave the Zaocang early tomorrow to escape. So no one would have thought that I had come out with him, except that he had gone through the front door and I had gone through the back door. He said that he would let me know who my enemy is tonight. He did it, and I did it. "
Chen Shaobai licked the blood on his blade: Third Uncle, leave well.
However, when he said these words, An Zheng felt that there was something very cunning and profound in his eyes that flashed by.
Chapter 22 - Access to Spirit Stones
An Zheng realised that after Chen Shaobai killed Chen Pu, his gaze turned towards his.
Then, Chen Shaobai made a decision. He did not kill An Zheng. It was not that he did not want to kill An Zheng, but he did not know whether the words An Zheng had said before were true bluff, or if he was fully confident. Now, Chen Shaobai finally understood how terrifying An Zheng was and why An Zheng insisted on feeding that beast core to the cat in front of him. Because of that cat, Chen Shaobai didn't dare to act rashly.
"You planned all of this?"
Chen Shaobai asked.
An Zheng shook his head: "I am not an immortal, and not the legendary Holy Emperor of the Great Xi Empire. How could I plan things so far? I'm just used to making a lot of preparations, whether they work or not. What kind of person are you? Only I know that you came out of Zaocang, and only I know that you might be heading to some mysterious sect. Of course you would want to kill me to keep your mouth shut. "
Chen Shaobai said: "I hope that one day when we meet again, you will forget that I wanted to kill you today."
An Zheng did not speak.
Chen Shaobai asked: "You really don't plan to go with me? Although you cannot cultivate, as long as you have the chance to cleanse your marrow, you can become a cultivator. There is no door in the world that can be closed to any one person, and that can be changed if you work hard. "
An Zheng laughed: "Stop lying, you don't want me to go with you. I know your background very well. Once we reach that sect, I will be your threat. "
Chen Shaobai laughed, unexpectedly, he was not sad at all: "An Zheng, you better not die this easily. I think you might be my opponent in the future. "Don't let me leave you behind by any means. Otherwise, when I see you again, killing you will be a very boring and boring thing to do."
After saying that, Chen Shaobai turned and left.
After he had disappeared for a long time, An Zheng finally bent over and hugged the cat, gently stroking the cat's back with his palm. Even I was almost fooled by you. Although you ate some of the monster cores, you are still just a cat right now. "
The white cat mewled, looking slightly pleased.
"Come out, I know you've been hiding around. If the people from the Thousand Gate can't do anything else, then we have the ability to hide our tracks. "
After An Zheng finished speaking, Zhong Jiuge, whose face was filled with embarrassment and guilt, walked out from behind a large tree in the distance: "You also know that I am not that person's match, so when he attacked Du Shoushou, I could only choose to hide. But I kept following him, hoping to save Du Shoushou. An Zheng... Please don't be disappointed in me. "
"How could that be?"
An Zheng said: "You can still help me a lot … The art of disguise is the foundation of your thousands of sects. Now take a good look at that dead guy. Is it okay to disguise yourself as him? "
Zhong Jiuge hurriedly nodded his head, "To my Thousand Sect, such a small matter like disguising oneself is practically a piece of cake. Give me some time, and I pr
omise I won't even recognize his wife. "
Zhong Jiuge walked to the side of Chen Pu's body, turned the body over, and looked at it carefully. He took out a small cloth bag from his robes and opened it to reveal various small bottles and jars inside. He opened the jars and wiped his face from time to time. About ten minutes later, he stood up and looked at An Zheng. "How similar is it?"
An Zheng looked and said: "The eyebrows are slightly raised, mainly because of the eyes, but I can't do anything about that … Fortunately it is dark, and Chen Pu's subordinates are busy with many matters tonight, so they won't suspect anything. "
Zhong Jiuge pulled out a set of clothes from his bag, and then, looked at Chen Pu's corpse as he pulled back and forth that piece of clothes: "This is the Thousand Sect's Hundred Transformations Robe. "These clothes can change colors, change styles, and are sharp weapons that can swindle people when they are out here …"
An Zheng had seen this kind of thing before. For many of the tools of the Thousand Sect, An Zheng was not unfamiliar with it.
After changing his clothes, Zhong Jiuge asked: What's next?
An Zheng said: "If you search Chen Pu's body, there must be a key hidden close by. People like him would hide the most precious things well. Then you go to the Chen family and think of a way to find spirit stones. The Chen family's business was much bigger than the Great Gou Hall, so there was bound to be a lot of good things. Remember, be calm and don't be nervous when you enter. I can't find the Chen family's treasury, so I just randomly asked someone to come with me to the treasury to retrieve something, and I'll just let that person walk in front. "
"I don't care how much you take, Du Shoushou and I only need twenty-four low rank soul stones."
An Zheng said: "The rest, no matter how much you take, will be your reward."
Zhong Jiuge took a deep breath, "Wealth comes from danger, Anzhu, I'm going."
After Zhong Jiuge left, An Zheng dug a hole and buried his body. Then, he looked at Du Shoushou who was still unconscious, but had not sustained any injuries. He found a rope from his family and tied Du Shoushou's left hand tightly. Then, borrowing the moonlight, he searched through the streets until he found some chicken poo and wiped it on Du Shoushou's right hand. He squatted beside Du Shoushou and used a feather to scratch Du Shoushou's face lightly.
