Chapter 179: Do They Not Even Avoid People When Pinning Charges and Inventing Crimes Now?
After Feng Yun put on an act and flew into a rage, he was eventually still stopped.
He could only reveal a helpless expression and look at Cheng Yu sorrowfully.
“Lord Cheng, although I am the Sect Master, in the end, the main sect still stands above me. I truly cannot act recklessly without regard for everything.”
“The Storehouse Elder is not in the sect, so we indeed cannot transfer too many things out.”
“When the Elder returns tomorrow or the day after, I will definitely send people to deliver them to you urgently, my lord, to prove my sincerity!”
His excuse sounded somewhat reasonable.
After all, the clothing and food for nearly a thousand refugees.
Although each item was not worth much, added together, it was not a number that could be casually ignored.
They had to be transferred out from the storehouse.
But the problem was this.
Feng Yun was the dignified branch Sect Master of the Army-Breaking Sect in an entire circuit, yet he supposedly did not even have the authority to bypass the relevant Elder and transfer some items.
That was simply a joke!
Clearly, he was using his actions to refuse Cheng Yu.
Openly and secretly, he was humiliating him!
Cheng Yu frowned slightly, revealing a displeased expression.
“Sect Master Feng, are you joking with me? The dignified Army-Breaking Sect cannot even bring out some clothes and dry rations? Has your sect fallen so low that you cannot even keep the pot boiling?”
“The sect rules are truly strict. I also cannot refuse to obey them. I hope Lord Cheng can understand.”
Feng Yun looked at Cheng Yu apologetically.
In his heart, however, he sneered endlessly.
He simply did not intend to give that brat Cheng Yu any face. So what?
When the matter of the refugees burning, killing, and plundering broke out later, he could conveniently use the excuse of specially delivering supplies and go there, just in time to run into the incident and accuse Cheng Yu of indulging evil.
In this way, when the matter spread later, not only would the Army-Breaking Sect not appear petty over clothes and dry rations, but Feng Yun would also have a perfect excuse for appearing there.
All of this was part of his plan!
“Sigh.”
Cheng Yu sighed helplessly, and his expression gradually turned cold.
“Sect Master Feng, for what you have done today, I have concerns for now and cannot repay you for the time being. But next time, I will not be so polite.”
When Feng Yun heard the undisguised hostility in Cheng Yu’s words, his heart was filled with disdain.
He cupped his fists and bent at the waist. “Please do as you wish, my lord!”
Next time?
By the next time, without a special purpose, he would not speak this politely either!
As long as his plan continued, Cheng Yu would inevitably fall into the trouble brought about by the refugees, and he would have no choice but to kill them to quell the matter.
Once he did that, it would definitely stir up an even greater storm.
The Jianghu experts could even use that as a reason to take Cheng Yu down, leaving the Great Qian Court with nothing to say and no anger to vent!
Having run into such a wall, Cheng Yu shook his head and walked back toward the Jinyiwei.
When the Army-Breaking Sect members looked at his back, they only felt it was full of dejection, and their hearts filled with pride and joy.
This infamous Imperial Hound of the court.
He was simply nothing special!
The Jinyiwei watched Cheng Yu walk back like this, their hearts already impatient. Their lord was dragging things out so slowly.
They could hardly wait anymore!
Their hands were itching unbearably!
“My lord, now we...”
Seeing his Jinyiwei so impatient, Cheng Yu shook his head helplessly. Rushing things would only ruin the plan.
He bent his fingers and waved his hand, signaling his subordinates not to rush yet.
When the Army-Breaking Sect members saw this, they only felt that it was Cheng Yu’s humiliating compromise.
Their hearts grew even more delighted.
Feng Yun even kicked him while he was down by looking toward someone beside him and arranging, “You, go and see Lord Cheng and the others off!”
“Understood!”
That Army-Breaking Sect martial artist quickly nodded. This was a good chance to gain face!
His heart was bursting with joy.
Smiling, he walked before Cheng Yu, saluted politely, and said courteously, “My lord, this way, please!”
Cheng Yu let out a long breath and nodded.
“Very well!”
As soon as his words fell, amid the pleased smile of the Army-Breaking Sect martial artist, a flash of saber light appeared.
The next moment, earth-shaking thunderlight suddenly erupted, illuminating the pitch-black night.
BANG!
With a tremendous crash, that Army-Breaking Sect martial artist did not even have time to react before he was instantly crushed by an incomparably powerful force and turned into a mass of shattered flesh and blood.
Cheng Yu.
Had drawn his saber and killed someone!
The anticipation in the Jinyiwei’s hearts finally received a response at this moment.
It had begun. Lord Cheng was preparing to act!
“Someone died, and it was even a martial artist from the Army-Breaking Sect...”
The refugees were weak ordinary people to begin with.
A martial artist from the Army-Breaking Sect, an existence usually out of reach who could crush them to death with a single finger.
Had died just like that in Cheng Yu’s hands?
The matter had come too quickly.
Feng Yun and the other Army-Breaking Sect martial artists had not even reacted to what had happened, and their pleased smiles were still frozen on their faces.
The next moment, their eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and they roared hysterically.
Cheng Yu had killed one of their people!
“Cheng! What did you do?!”
Feng Yun’s eyes widened. No matter what, he could not understand how Cheng Yu dared to act at a time like this.
On what basis?
They clearly had not given him any excuse at all!
His mind raced wildly, but he still could not think of any reason Cheng Yu could have for acting.
Could it be that he had simply gone mad and did not care about reasons or excuses at all?
Thinking of this, Feng Yun naturally could not possibly watch Cheng Yu kill so arrogantly before his eyes.
Internal Energy suddenly erupted from his entire body. He raised a great halberd with an imposing aura, and a yellow-red Qilin appeared behind him.
He roared, “You dared kill a martial artist of my Army-Breaking Sect! You must give my Army-Breaking Sect an explanation!”
The other Army-Breaking Sect martial artists did not hold back their Internal Energy either. They all erupted with their strongest might and glared fiercely at Cheng Yu.
“Give us an explanation!”
Although these people shared the same hatred and their momentum was strong, it was limited to verbal accusations.
Because they had also been frightened.
The person just now had been a martial artist at the Late Sixth Rank!
He cultivated the Army-Breaking Sect’s Superior Martial Art and was a top-tier expert among the Middle Three Realms.
Before Cheng Yu, however, he had been nothing more than trash whose body had been crushed into nothing by a single move.
If it were them instead, would it not be a matter of one slash, two slashes, or three slashes at most?
Cheng Yu held the Dragon-Dethroning Xiuchun Saber, and his incomparably powerful and dignified Internal Energy spread outward, shaking everyone present.
He looked at the Army-Breaking Sect members and their furious expressions, even though they did not dare attack.
He only found it laughable.
Just now, when he had reasoned with them and lowered his posture to ask for some cheap clothes and dry rations, these people had been so arrogant.
They had acted as though they were afraid of suffering even the slightest loss.
Now that they saw one of their own killed, each and every one of them had turned cowardly.
It seemed that when dealing with these fellows, martial force truly was the most useful thing.
Cheng Yu raised his brows and used the Dragon-Dethroning Xiuchun Saber to poke the corpse of the dead Army-Breaking Sect martial artist. He circulated the Sword Dao Weapon-Breaking Art and used the saber to activate Dragon Abyss Sword Intent.
A small mass of crimson Dragon Blood immediately appeared.
“Sect Master Feng, you failed to judge people properly. How did even Prince Qing’s Remnants sneak into your ranks? This is the evidence.”
“I have conveniently helped the Army-Breaking Sect clean house. Is this explanation enough?”
Prince Qing’s Remnants?
The Army-Breaking Sect martial artists were instantly dumbfounded.
They had clearly watched with their own eyes as Cheng Yu forced this Dragon Blood out from his saber!
In the end, Cheng Yu used it as evidence.
And claimed the man was one of Prince Qing’s Remnants!
Did the Jinyiwei no longer even avoid people when pinning labels and inventing false charges?!
