But for now, Yang Xiao wasn’t ready to make a big move. After all, his most important goal at present was to accumulate strength, and after a year when Dean Sheng, the stabilizer, returned ho, that would be the ti to raise the banner and gather all the masters to reclaim the academy.
Yang Xiao could wait, wait until then when old and new scores could be settled together.
However, this ti, Elder Pu and the ntal powerhouse who injured Fu Qingzhu must leave their lives here; this is the price for wrongdoing.
In Xiang Ma Town, with Daoist Qingfeng and Second Demon Uncle watching over things, naturally, there were no problems. Yang Xiao took Senior Brother Ming Yue and, under the cover of night, swiftly returned to Rongcheng.
It was now nearing 4 am, and dawn was approaching. Honestly, it was not a good ti to make a move, but Yang Xiao had no choice as now the ti equaled Fu Qingzhu’s life.
After reporting to the Provincial Office and Director Nalan, the action plan was simple and direct: Yang Xiao and Sui would take action while Senior Brother Ming Yue stayed outside, ready to provide support in case of any unforeseen situation.
Following the intel given by the man, they arrived at 67 Jiangping Road in the west side of the city. It was a villa area, yet strangely enough, Yang Xiao, using his Human Bone Staff to probe, found no masters inside; the strongest was rely a Fierce Level Apostle.
Having crossed paths with Elder Pu before, Yang Xiao knew this person had half-step Ghost Level capabilities.
"No one’s here..." Yang Xiao frowned; it seed they had moved upon hearing sothing.
However, Yang Xiao soon received a ssage from Nalan Shuo, who inford him that their secret line had found Elder Pu’s latest hideout. It was in Fuxiang Hotel, in a large suite on the 8th floor guarded by Apostles Union mbers.
"Great..." Sui Chengguo hated this man to the core, wishing he could skin him alive.
The three of them wasted no ti, imdiately heading to Fuxiang Hotel. Fortunately, the two locations weren’t far apart.
Using the Human Bone Staff again for detection, Yang Xiao confird that many people were inside: two Fierce Level Apostles, seven Resentnt Level Apostles, and one half-step Ghost Level expert.
"It’s him! I recognize his aura!" Yang Xiao’s lips curled into a sinister smile, finally finding the old scoundrel hiding in Rongcheng.
By now, Yang Xiao had also received a reply from the Provincial Office. He disregarded the official talk, focusing on the crucial part where he was advised to be thorough with the cleanup, ensuring the United Federation had no grounds to use against them.
Yang Xiao was already familiar with this approach, having been taught by Director Nalan in the past; either don’t do it at all or leave no trace, eradicate completely to prevent future troubles.
Using the Human Bone Staff for a detailed sensing once more, Yang Xiao confird there were no masters nearby, but he couldn’t rule out the possibility that the ntal powerhouse could avoid detection.
Yang Xiao had seen this ability in Elder Dean Sheng Yanlin before; Sheng Yanlin could suppress his aura and feign different levels of apostles when he desired.
Imagine a Netherworld Envoy disguised as a Resentnt Level Apostle; that would be terrifying enough to scare soone to death once the battle comnced.
"Brother Yang, leave those outside to ; I’ll handle Old Monster Pu." Sui Chengguo whispered, his eyes burning with the flas of revenge so intense they were almost palpable.
"Alright, Sui, but there’s one thing, you mustn’t kill him; I have questions, it’s important."
Yang Xiao had planned to do this anyway, since he suspected the ntal powerhouse might be mingling among those lower-level apostles of Level 2.
Senior Brother Ming Yue remained unchanged, still guarding the outside, ready to provide support at any mont.
With the plan set, Yang Xiao, along with Sui Chengguo, used the Mirror World to infiltrate Fuxiang Hotel, quickly pinpointing Old Monster Pu’s location.
Yang Xiao dragged the unsuspecting Elder Pu into the Mirror World. Once there, he let go.
Caught off guard, Elder Pu fell heavily to the ground, and Sui Chengguo made the first move, directly using the Mitsubishi Military Dagger to pierce through Old Monster Pu’s leg, pinning him to the ground, and with the next stroke, disabling his arm.
The ensuing scene was utterly grueso, with Yang Xiao’s attention focused on the remaining guards, sowhat surprised at how easily he dispatched them all.
Fearing changes if delayed, Yang Xiao didn’t hold back at all; even in death, these people never displayed any battle prowess beyond their apparent strength.
"No masters..." Yang Xiao sheathed his Ring-Headed Saber, surveying the bloody corpses, certain they were completely dead.
Continuing to probe with the Human Bone Staff, he found no hidden master auras nearby.
This was unexpected for Yang Xiao; after all, with Fu Qingzhu still alive, it indicated the master was nearby, surely still in Rongcheng.
If not by Elder Pu’s side, where else could they be? Could they possibly be at the Rongcheng Apostles’ Union headquarters?
With these doubts, Yang Xiao first arranged for a retreat, as daylight was breaking.
Back at the residence, Yang Xiao entered the Mirror World, finding Elder Pu in a secret chamber, tortured beyond recognition.
To put it bluntly, at first glance, Yang Xiao almost didn’t recognize him.
However, Sui Chengguo was indeed reliable; ruthless but not fatal, these tortures were techniques he had learned in the Yin Temple territory, aid at one day using them on Elder Pu and his ilk to avenge his daughter and that squad of brothers.
Seeing Yang Xiao arrive, Sui Chengguo slowly rose from the box he sat on, with the dagger still dripping blood, "The one who hard your brother isn’t soone from Yiling Academy, but it’s the President of Rongcheng Union, Qiu Huai De. Fu Qingzhu advanced too quickly, gaining fa, which prompted Qiu Huai De to eliminate him to stabilize his position."
