You Drove Me Out with Your Hypocrisy and now Crying When I Come to Take It All? Chapter 139 : Chapter 139

Chapter 139: I’ll Kill That Little Bastard to Avenge My Blood Feud; You Deal with the Trouble for !

Before his words had even finished, a sword swept in front of Xiao Teng. The sound of surging waves rang out, and the monstrous Vital Blood around his body was completely blocked.

“Who is it?!”

What terrifying strength!

Xiao Teng was instantly alard and turned his bloodshot eyes warily toward the one who had intervened.

A figure stepped forward, and the Internal Energy concealing his appearance dissipated.

What erged was a square-faced, thick-browed middle-aged man with an aura of upright righteousness. Layer upon layer of wave phantoms rose behind him, and the Internal Energy surrounding him was terrifying.

“Brother Xiao and I have been eager to et one another for quite so ti. Do you still not recognize ?”

Cheng Zhenjiang!

Cheng Yu was also startled when he saw Cheng Zhenjiang appear.

He had not expected the man to show up at a mont like this.

But after thinking it over, it made sense.

Cheng Zhenjiang had most likely heard about the situation in Jiannan Circuit, felt uneasy about that Cheng Family man from before, and personally ca to seize Cheng Yuan’s treasure.

For the sake of securing a great opportunity for his beloved youngest son, he had rushed all the way here from the distant north without a mont’s hesitation.

Father and son truly were bound by deep affection.

But with Cheng Yu here today, there was no way he would let Cheng Zhenjiang have his way!

“You are...”

Xiao Teng frowned, then in the next instant his eyes widened. “The man who can sever a river with one sword—you’re Cheng Zhenjiang!”

The wariness in his eyes instantly turned into delight.

“Brother Cheng, have you co to aid my Great Undertaking of Heavenly Fate? If your River-Severing Sect and the Cheng Family join us, what difficulty would there be in toppling the False Court!”

“When Heavenly Fate raises to the throne, I will surely enfeoff you as the foremost non-imperial king under heaven!”

Cheng Zhenjiang raised an eyebrow and did not respond to that.

Instead, he said in a distant tone, “I am rely a martial man. Brother Xiao gives too much face. Do not say such things again.”

He was a great hero. He had nothing to do with rebellion!

Xiao Teng froze at once.

Had Cheng Zhenjiang not already sent soone to assist the Heavenly Fate Lineage in rising up? Why was he now acting as though he had forgotten all about it?

At that mont, Cheng Yu let out a cold laugh from the side.

“A non-imperial king? You think far too little of Great Hero Cheng’s appetite. If you do not give him the throne itself, you can forget about getting his help.”

The mont those words ca out, Cheng Zhenjiang’s expression changed at once.

That unfilial son was slandering him again!

He had just wanted to rebuke him, but feared Xiao Teng would beco wary and refuse to take out the ancestor’s treasure.

So he could only snort coldly and say, “Brother Xiao, I ca here today to save your entire clan from utter destruction!”

Utter destruction?

Xiao Teng froze, unable to understand what Cheng Zhenjiang ant.

As a Late Ninth Rank martial artist, he might not stand above all living beings in Jiannan Circuit, but he was certainly unmatched there.

How could utter destruction possibly befall him?

With a calm face and a sharp gleam in his eyes, Cheng Zhenjiang said, “The Jinyiwei of Jiannan Circuit have co with great force. Though they seem no match for you, Brother Xiao, if you crush them, you will form a deep enmity with Great Qian.”

“Can you truly deal with Great Qian as things now stand? Brother Xiao is the strongest Prince Qing your line has produced in a hundred years. I imagine you can see the situation clearly enough.”

At those words, Xiao Teng’s expression changed drastically. Cheng Zhenjiang had pointed out a fact.

They could not deal with Great Qian!

Though Prince Qing’s line kept shouting about overthrowing the False Court, the truth was that repeated failures over the course of centuries had long since robbed them of the ability to fight Great Qian to the bitter end.

At this point, even if Xiao Teng could reach Grandmaster, he still would not be able to take on the whole of Great Qian.

At most, he would gain the right to sit at the negotiating table.

He constantly spoke of overthrowing Great Qian, but his true goal had long since changed into carving out a territory and establishing himself as an independent ruler.

Because if they really fought Great Qian to the end, the only road before them was death!

Xiao Teng had never spoken such thoughts aloud.

Because they ran contrary to the Heavenly Fate they proclaid day after day, and saying them out loud would be tantamount to admitting the failure of their ancestors.

The mont he voiced those thoughts would be the day many people’s convictions shattered.

So he had buried them in his heart.

He had never expected Cheng Zhenjiang to expose them so bluntly.

With his true thoughts laid bare, Xiao Teng’s montum instantly weakened sowhat. “Then tell , how do you intend to save us?”

“Very simple.”

Cheng Zhenjiang smiled. “I possess a bit of prestige and standing in the Jianghu. I can recomnd Brother Xiao’s clan into the Jianghu’s martial world. Great Qian would naturally no longer dare say much.”

Xiao Teng’s eyes imdiately lit up.

Sword-Forging Manor had already been destroyed, and Jiangnan was without a master.

If Prince Qing’s line could enter the Jianghu, then with Xiao Teng’s strength, he could absolutely seize Jiannan Circuit and even all of Jiangnan in a fully legitimate manner.

If Cheng Zhenjiang were willing to lend a hand, it truly would be an excellent solution!

But in the next second, the smile on Cheng Zhenjiang’s face faded slightly.

“However, the reputation of Brother Xiao’s clan is truly rather unsightly. If you establish yourselves as a force of your own, I fear it will be hard to convince the masses...”

Xiao Teng hurriedly asked, “Then what should be done?”

The smile vanished from Cheng Zhenjiang’s face, and his full authority burst forth.

“I, the Sect Master, can allow you to join the River-Severing Sect. In that case, naturally no one would dare say a word.”

Xiao Teng’s expression instantly stiffened, and his face darkened.

Join the River-Severing Sect?

Cheng Zhenjiang was dreaming!

He said angrily, “Impossible! How could my Heavenly Fate Lineage live beneath another’s command!”

Cheng Zhenjiang had long known Xiao Teng would never agree.

He could only shake his head helplessly.

“Brother Xiao, if you insist on being blind to what is good for you, offend Great Qian, and yet lack the power to withstand it, then you are doing nothing but courting your own destruction.”

No matter how furious Xiao Teng was, upon hearing those words, he had no choice but to suppress that anger.

He had been gravely wounded by Xiao Qian’s ambush, and Grandmaster was beyond hope for the foreseeable future.

He still had no power to withstand the Great Qian court.

If he failed to find a way out, then compared with any generation of clansn before him, his end would be no different.

He would stir up so commotion, then be ruthlessly suppressed.

Seeing Xiao Teng’s hesitation, Cheng Zhenjiang thought the mont was ripe.

With a smile, he said, “Since Brother Xiao is unwilling to join the River-Severing Sect, I will not force you. I can still persuade the Imperial Hounds to withdraw for you, but...”

Hope instantly flared again in Xiao Teng’s eyes. “But what?”

“The ancestor’s relic remains outside. As a descendant, I cannot sleep peacefully at night.”

Ancestor Cheng Yuan’s Secret Treasure!

At last, Xiao Teng understood Cheng Zhenjiang’s true aim.

That talk of joining the River-Severing Sect had been false from the very beginning. There was no way he could ever have agreed.

The only real purpose was the treasure!

Rage instantly surged in Xiao Teng’s heart.

After circling around for so long, Cheng Zhenjiang had still co to loot a burning house. And a man like this could still be called a great hero?

But no matter how much resentnt and rage filled his heart, Cheng Zhenjiang’s earlier words had already conveyed a very obvious aning.

Prince Qing’s descendants had no choice!

Xiao Teng could only take out an ancient bronze turtle statue.

Suppressing his fury, he ground his teeth and said, “I agree!”

The mont Cheng Zhenjiang saw Cheng Yuan’s treasure, he was overjoyed.

“Brother Xiao, you are forthright indeed. I will certainly resolve your problem with Great Qian for you. You need only sit and wait!”

By coming forward this ti, not only would he obtain the treasure, but he could also later stop the bloody fight to the death.

He could even force back the overbearing Jinyiwei of Jiannan Circuit and restore face to the people of the Jianghu.

Every part of it would greatly benefit his reputation.

It was one joyous gain after another.

“However, I have one more request!”

With bloodshot eyes, Xiao Teng looked viciously at Cheng Yu.

He raised the secret treasure in his hand and offered it toward Cheng Zhenjiang.

“I want to kill that little bastard and avenge this blood feud. You deal with the trouble for ! Once it is done, I will hand over the item with both hands!”
