You Drove Me Out with Your Hypocrisy and now Crying When I Come to Take It All? Chapter 144 : Chapter 144

Chapter 144: If the Common People of Jiannan Circuit Are Slaughtered, Great Hero Cheng Will Share the Bla!

“Lord Cheng!”

Cheng Yu’s figure was the first to appear before everyone.

He stepped out from within the white snake’s desperate protective coils, completely unhard from head to toe.

On the contrary, because he had absorbed the Vital Blood from the blood pool, his strength had reached an unprecedented height, and his condition was even better than before.

He did not look like soone who had encountered any danger at all.

Cheng Yu patted Susu on the head and tucked her, now shrunken down, back into his sleeve.

When the Jinyiwei saw this, they raised their hands and cheered.

“My lord is out!”

Prince Qing’s descendants were dumbstruck.

Cheng Yu had co out completely unscathed, so where was their prince?

In the next mont, Xiao Teng’s figure appeared, but he was nowhere near as composed as Cheng Yu.

He slamd to the ground like a dead dog and lay there without moving, his body terribly weak and covered in wounds.

If not for the fact that Vital Blood was still fluctuating within him, he would have looked no different from a corpse.

Prince Qing’s descendants’ eyes split with rage.

“Your Highness!!”

The fear in their hearts reached its peak.

There had been such enormous commotion from the inheritance secret realm just now, and Xiao Teng had ended up in such a miserable state.

What exactly had happened?

Cheng Yu was only a martial artist of the Middle Three Ranks. No matter how talented he was, no matter how capable he was of fighting above his level, did that an he could even handle a Ninth Rank expert?

Impossible!

The gap between the Sixth Rank and the Ninth Rank was as vast as the difference between clouds and mud. It was absolutely impossible to cross.

Could it have been so terrifying expert who appeared later?

Right!

Where was that person?!

Soone with sharp eyes imdiately spotted Cheng Zhenjiang.

“Look over there!”

Before they saw the man, they heard him first. The sound of surging waves washed through the air around them.

When they looked again, they saw a vague figure standing within a curtain of water.

The powerful aura coming off him was terrifying.

Though Cheng Zhenjiang looked sowhat disheveled, he had clearly not suffered too much damage.

“Who is this person? His aura is even stronger than the prince’s!”

“Could it have been him who hard the secret realm and brought disaster upon the prince?!”

The mont Cheng Zhenjiang noticed that he had drawn attention, he imdiately grew nervous. He absolutely could not let these people recognize him and expose his identity.

There was a world of difference between “Great Hero Cheng was suspected of appearing at the Jiannan Circuit rebel-suppression scene” and “Great Hero Cheng was caught red-handed colluding with Prince Qing’s Remnants.”

The forr could still be handled through his reputation and a few thods.

If it beca the latter, then the trouble would be imnse.

Cheng Zhenjiang hurriedly looked at Cheng Yu. Xiao Teng’s fate was unknown, and now only this unfilial son knew his identity!

Using a thod of Internal Energy transmission that only the two of them could hear, he threatened,

“Do not expose my identity! If you expose our relationship, you will no longer be able to remain in the Jinyiwei!”

Back at the Sword-Forging Manor, the relationship between father and son had not spread, so Cheng Zhenjiang had guessed that Cheng Yu was concealing it as well.

He certainly did not want to admit to that relationship, so now was the perfect ti to threaten him!

When Cheng Yu heard this, he let out a cold laugh.

So even a great hero was reduced to threatening a ruthless Imperial Hound of the court like him.

How laughable.

What did his bloodline have to do with whether he could remain in the Jinyiwei?

If anyone dared run their mouth, he would simply pay them a visit and investigate them for rebellion!

When Cheng Zhenjiang saw that Cheng Yu showed no reaction whatsoever, worry instantly welled up in his heart.

He could not intimidate this unfilial son!

What was he supposed to do?

But before Cheng Yu could even speak, a shrill cry for help rang out.

“Patriarch! Co save !”

With his hands and feet crippled, his body covered in terrifying sword wounds, Cheng Fang howled in despair from where he was trapped off to one side.

He understood now!

Cheng Zhenjiang and Cheng Yu were absolutely father and son—one a great hero of the Jianghu, the other a Jinyiwei officer.

The two of them had worked together to blow apart Prince Qing’s Secret Realm, and had reduced the current Prince Qing to such a pitiful state he looked half-dead.

And he, a completely uninford outsider, had been left stuck in the middle to suffer for it all!

The mont Cheng Fang shouted, everyone present froze.

What was this Cheng fellow yelling about?

Patriarch? Patriarch of what family? Cheng...

A terrifying thought surfaced in the hearts of Prince Qing’s descendants.

The ancient family, the Cheng Family!

The Patriarch of the Cheng Family... Cheng Zhenjiang, a Heaven Ranking expert and the Sect Master of the River-Severing Sect!

“You!”

The mont Cheng Zhenjiang heard his clansman shouting like a fool, his expression changed drastically.

One could guard against everything but the thief in one’s own house!

When Cheng Fang saw that Cheng Zhenjiang was not coming to save him, despair flooded his heart.

Surely the man was not planning to abandon him, was he?

What beasts!

These father and son had left him wedged in the middle to suffer, and now they would not even acknowledge him!

All the conspiracy theories he had built up in his head ca pouring out in one breath.

“Cousin Zhenjiang, there is no need to hide it any longer! My Cheng Family has already obtained the treasure of Prince Qing’s Remnants. Both you and Young Master Yu, father and son alike, possess talent rarely seen in a hundred years!”

Everyone was shocked out of their minds.

Young Master Yu—did that an Cheng Yu...?

A top genius on the Human Ranking, a monstrous talent capable of slaying a late Seventh Rank martial artist while fighting above his level.

He was Cheng Zhenjiang’s son?!

The two of them had joined forces to sche for the treasure of Prince Qing’s line. That was far too shocking.

Cheng Fang continued wailing,

“When the ti cos, the two of you will both advance into Grandmaster. Together with the Supre Elder and the Old Ancestor, that will make four Grandmasters in total! With that kind of strength, who in the world would dare provoke you? There is no need to keep pretending!”

Grandmasters!

Four of them at that!

Those terrifying words rang through the minds of everyone present.

Cheng Zhenjiang had entered the Heaven Ranking while still only at the Ninth Rank. Above him, all those listed were Grandmasters.

He possessed strength that placed him first beneath Grandmaster, and his hope of breaking through to Grandmaster was exceptionally great.

As for Cheng Yu, his talent was even more terrifying. At just twenty years old, he had killed a late Seventh Rank martial artist. Once Tianji Tower updated the rankings, he would undoubtedly ascend to the top of the Human Ranking.

Grandmaster was likewise only a matter of ti for him.

Given a little more ti, and adding in the River-Severing Sect’s Supre Elder and the Cheng Family’s Old Ancestor, two veteran Grandmasters, this power would be unmatched in the entirety of the Great Qian Dynasty.

It was simply too terrifying!

Beyond their shock, Prince Qing’s descendants’ eyes turned red with rage the mont they heard this.

This father and son had sched for their treasure and hard their prince!

That was a mortal blood feud, the hatred of extermination!

They wanted to curse Cheng Yu, but then realized that he had never really been pretending at all. He had been opposing them to the death from the very beginning.

So they could only turn their eyes toward Cheng Zhenjiang, whose reputation was far better.

“Cheng Zhenjiang, you beast! And to think you call yourself a great hero! Under the pretense of helping us rise up, you instead trapped and ruined us!”

“You hard the prince! Though we are no match for you, we will still let the whole world see your ugly true face!”

The Jinyiwei were equally shocked.

Lord Cheng was the son of Great Hero Cheng, the Martial Alliance Leader of the North!

But their lord was still their lord. No matter whose son he was, he was still the good lord who taught them carefully and never begrudged them rewards!

What truly shocked them was this:

“If the Cheng Family colluded with Prince Qing’s Remnants, then if the common people of Jiannan Circuit are slaughtered, Great Hero Cheng will bear a share of the bla!”

The mont those words were spoken, Cheng Zhenjiang completely panicked.

Not only had his identity been exposed, but all this filth had instantly been splashed onto him as well.

And Cheng Fang had gone mad. There was no explaining any of it!

In his urgency, Cheng Zhenjiang made a decision at once. Gritting his teeth, he drew the sword in his hand and charged straight at Prince Qing’s descendants.

“I sent n to infiltrate Prince Qing’s Remnants, and sure enough, I reaped considerable gains! Today, I shall eliminate one more scourge for all living beings under heaven!”
