"Yu Zhang, can you confirm what Yun Shen just said?"
By now, Yu Zhang was straightforward enough, nodding: "That’s right, that’s the situation."
Then Guan Xuejiang looked at Zhao Ya, his eyes flashing with admiration.
What an outstanding talent.
Assigned the task for just a day, and he managed to unravel everything.
So he softened his tone: "Zhao Ya, tell us exactly what happened in Nandian Town."
"Yes."
Zhao Ya then placed Yang Bin on the ground and took out two pages written by the Mute Girl from his bosom.
"To report to the Grand Elder, this person is Yang Bin, previously responsible for various matters in Nandian Town, and the creator of the town’s dark secrets."
"As for the specifics, here I have the indictnt written by the Mute Girl beside , detailing it thoroughly. I shall read it to everyone now."
Zhao Ya read the two pages written by the Mute Girl word for word.
After listening, the entire hall was in an uproar.
Even these well-experienced elders had many showing anger on their faces.
Because Yang Bin’s actions were exceedingly atrocious.
They reached the point of being heinous.
Qin Jianji was even more infuriated, muttering incessantly: "Deserves death! Deserves death!"
Guan Xuejiang, however, remained relatively calm. He watched the Mute Girl trembling behind Zhao Ya and sighed.
Then he turned to Yu Zhang, "Yu Zhang, listening to these cris committed by those you condoned, do you feel ashad?"
Yu Zhang bowed his head silently, then lifted it after a mont, speaking with a very rigid tone.
"I didn’t know he did these things."
Covered in injuries, lying on the ground ready to breathe his last, Yang Bin grew anxious upon hearing that, using his last ounce of strength to shout.
"Elder Yu, speak with conscience, back then when I couldn’t buy disabled people, it was you who gave the idea to buy children and then torture them into disabilities."
At these words, the hall erupted in astonishnt.
"Scum, disgrace!" Qin Jianji spat harshly, face full of disgust.
Even Xia Jiye and others were speechless.
Because there’s truly no washing this away.
Guan Xuejiang also asked coldly: "Yu Zhang, do you have anything else to say now?"
Yu Zhang laughed skyward, suddenly making a shocking move.
He raised his hand pointing at Guan Xuejiang, "Guan, don’t give this act, I knew you’ve been displeased with for long, this is just your excuse to punish , don’t pretend like you’re so compassionate."
"Audacious!" Qin Jianji roared, stepping forward. "Yu Zhang, even now you refuse to repent?"
Yu Zhang sneered, ignoring Qin Jianji, instead glancing at Xia Jiye and others in the distance.
"Don’t worry, after I’m dead, it’ll soon be your turn."
After making this cryptic statent, Yu Zhang suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Not good!"
Earlier, Shen Yunshen sensed sothing was amiss when Yu Zhang spoke his last words, thus quickly stepping forward attempting to stop him.
But it was ultimately too late.
Yu Zhang used the residual True Power within him to sever his own heart vessels, thus dying on the spot.
As they looked at Yu Zhang’s fallen form, many elders in the hall had complex expressions.
So showed schadenfreude, believing Yu Zhang deserved to die, while others sighed regretfully, thinking Yu Zhang had lost his mind, leading to a grave mistake.
And then there’s Xia Jiye and others feeling uneasy.
Overall, the crowd was in chaos.
However, Zhao Ya quickly reacted, stepped forward rapidly, bent down to check closely, then looked up and shook his head at Guan Xuejiang and others.
"He’s indeed dead."
Guan Xuejiang sighed, "He brought this upon himself, can’t bla others, though now that he’s dead, all faults dissipate like smoke, take him out and find a place to bury him properly."
"Yes!"
Younger disciples stepped forward to carry out the bodies of Yu Zhang and Yang Bin.
It turns out after Yu Zhang’s death, Yang Bin was both shocked and terrified, coupled with the waning effect of dicine, he too died subsequently.
After these tasks were done, Guan Xuejiang looked at Zhao Ya with satisfaction.
"Zhao Ya, this ti you singlehandedly unveiled the dark secrets of Nandian Town; indeed a great rit, I heard you even had a conflict with Yu Zhang which led to injuries, Azure Dragon Temple will never mistreat anyone with rits, you should rest now, the reward will be delivered to you soon."
"Yes, but I wish to first send this Mute Girl ho."
"Alright."
Zhao Ya then approached the Mute Girl, conveying his intention to her.
The Mute Girl bowed gracefully to Guan Xuejiang.
Guan Xuejiang waved his hand, feeling ashad, "No need to bow, I’m ashad, had I supervised strictly earlier, such a tragedy wouldn’t have occurred."
These words from the heart caused many elders at Azure Dragon Temple to show faces of sha.
Zhao Ya sighed silently, helped the Mute Girl up, and left with her.
By now sunlight had brightened the sky, after a hectic night, Zhao Ya didn’t feel a bit tired, rather felt energized.
As he exited the hall, he saw a large group of disciples gathered at the door.
Among them was Gui Xuanqing.
He looked at Zhao Ya with admiration, clearly aware of last night’s events.
Not only him, other disciples upon seeing Zhao Ya also abandoned their usual indifference and aloofness, instead showing smiles.
These people understood, after this incident, Zhao Ya could no longer be viewed with the usual perspective.
If nothing else, just the fact that he overthrew Yu Zhang proves Zhao Ya’s capability.
Zhao Ya didn’t care much, simply nodded slightly at Gui Xuanqing before leaving with the Mute Girl.
Nandian Town was only fifty miles from Azure Dragon Temple, a re distance for Zhao Ya; even taking soone along, it took just a quarter-hour to reach.
After escorting the Mute Girl ho, the waiting crowd of disabled people and town citizens kneeled together, causing Zhao Ya to hastily dodge aside.
"What are you doing?"
"Young Hero, without you, we don’t know how long we’d remain oppressed by that scoundrel Yang Bin. We have nothing to repay and can only offer our thanks with a bow." Soone shouted.
"Yes, Young Hero Zhao, you deserve this."
Zhao Ya was filled with emotion.
He rely did what he deed necessary and was rembered this profoundly by others.
He waved his hand.
"No need for this, it’s my duty, if you encounter any issues in the future, feel free to co to Azure Dragon Temple to find ."
"Yes!"
After more advice, Zhao Ya turned and left.
Returning again to Azure Dragon Temple, those at the hall entrance had dispersed.
Zhao Ya didn’t visit the Grand Elder, instead going straight ho.
Although the exchange with Yu Zhang last night didn’t injure him, after a restless night, Zhao Ya felt a bit tired.
Upon returning ho, Zhao Ya washed up, then after confirming no one around, shut the doors and took out an item from his bosom.
It was a small box, crafted exquisitely.
Zhao Ya grew intrigued.
This box was found on Yu Zhang.
Zhao Ya stealthily searched his body when checking if he was truly dead, thus discovering this item.
At that ti Zhao Ya showed no signs of unusualness, discreetly placing it in his sleeve without anyone noticing.
Just wondering what could be so important that Yu Zhang treated with such care?
Zhao Ya didn’t rush to open it.
Indeed, no one could guarantee the absence of chanisms inside.
Especially after witnessing the chanism proficiency of Beyond the World, Zhao Ya dared not be hasty.
He put it aside, planning to find a secluded place at night to open it.
Just as Zhao Ya was tallying his bounty, there ca a knock at the door. Upon opening, he saw a young disciple holding a brand-new jade token.
Upon seeing Zhao Ya, the young disciple respectfully spoke: "Senior Brother Zhao, this is the new Sect Contribution Token sent for you by Elder Shen."
Zhao Ya took it and saw the token had an exquisite design.
It even had his na engraved on it.
And the section behind showed his sect contribution.
It displayed a number.
Three thousand!
