Chapter 125 - 122: Exposure of Deeds_l
After Yang Chen, the second place Wang Lang, and the third place winner, all selected their treasures. Yang Chen observed this carefully.
Both Wang Lang and Murong Liuhe, who won third place, chose treasures that could help improve their cultivation levels. This made Yang Chen shake his head in secret. He didn’t pity Wang Lang, but he felt sorry for Murong Liuhe who missed some valuable opportunities by not choosing some other treasures.
However, there was nothing he could do to remind them, so he could only let it be.
Now that the distribution of treasures was over, and the twelve great tribes had reaped benefits, the journey to Monster Beast Mountain had come to an end.
Feng Changkong slowly said, “This year’s Monster Beast Mountain journey is over. Everyone can go back.”
“Wait!” Suddenly, a harsh voice rang out.
The owner of this voice turned out to be Third Master, wasn’t it?
Hearing Third Master’s abrupt shout, Feng Changkong’s expression changed slightly, “Third Master, what do you want to do?”
“What do I want to do? Humph, I sent five geniuses from the Red-clothed Gang into Monster Beast Mountain, and there hasn’t been any news. Feng Changkong, you ask me what I want to do?” Third Master narrowed his eyes, his tone full of sinister undertones.
“Hold on, Third Master, I think you’ve got something wrong,” Feng Changkong said expressionlessly, “The disappearance of your Horse-thief Gang members in Monster Beast Mountain seems to have nothing to do with our twelve great tribes. What if your gang’s Five Genius members were tempted by the treasures inside Monster Beast Mountain and didn’t come out? You’re biting back at us before I even had the chance to settle accounts with you for this matter?”
“Hahaha, Feng Changkong, what a smooth talker you are. I’ve made up my mind about this matter. The reason why our Horse-thief Gang’s five members didn’t come out is that they died inside Monster Beast Mountain!” Third Master shouted.
Hearing this, Yang Chen’s heart sank, and his eyes narrowed. As long as he wasn’t a fool, he would know someone had betrayed him.
The twelve great tribes were also startled.
All five of them died?
Although at the beginning, when they didn’t see Zhang Long and the others come out, the twelve great tribes had some suspicions, but no one mentioned it. They didn’t think that the five horse-thieves: Zhang Long, Zhang Ying, and their brothers, would all perish inside Monster Beast Mountain. It was only later that the tribes’ geniuses brought up this matter that they came to know a little bit about it.
But who would dare to mention that the Horse-thief Gang had lost people? In a certain sense, the people of the Great Wilderness still had some unitv amongst them.
However, they didn’t expect that Third Master would still find out about this matter.
Feng Changkong was also taken aback. He had learned from Feng Xiaotian that Yang Chen had killed the five members of the Horse-thief Gang but kept his mouth shut about it. The reason was that anyone could die, but not the members of the Horse-thief Gang. If one person died, it could still be managed.
But all five of them died?
This matter was too serious.
However, on the surface, Feng Changkong remained calm. He gritted his teeth and said, “What do you mean, Third Master?”
“What do I mean? Feng Changkong, you don’t need to pretend to be confused in front of me. We all understand each other. The five Horse-thief Geng members were all wiped out inside Monster Beast Mountain. Hehe, the person responsible is none other than Yang Chen from the Yang family!” Third Master said solemnly. “What!”
“Yang Chen!”
“Yang Chen killed the five geniuses of the Horse-thief Gang?”
Those who didn’t know about this matter were all shocked.
The five geniuses of the Horse-thief Gang were not easy to provoke, especially Zhang Long and Zhang Ying – the two brothers had almost swept the Hundred Clans Trial Battle. Who would have thought that they would be killed by Yang
Chen?
No one wasn’t shocked.
Feng Changkong said coldly, “Third Master, are you joking with me? The five geniuses of your gang are all outstanding talents among people. Yang Chen may be powerful, but he can’t kill all five of them by himself.”
Killing all five by himself?
This record…
This caused Yang Chen to stand in the crowd with his hands behind his back, his expression slightly cold.
It seemed that he still underestimated the despicability of human nature.
Although he had saved those geniuses, who would know if there were any spies from the Red-clothed Gang among those geniuses?
Moreover, who could say for sure that the geniuses would be grateful for the kindness bestowed on them?
The only people who knew that he had killed the five Horse-thief Gang members were the trapped geniuses. It was probably one of these geniuses who had informed Third Master. Otherwise, how could Third Master be so sure that he had killed the five people from the Horse-thief Gang?
Seeing that trouble was about to fall on Yang Chen’s head, Yang Jin He promptly stood up, “Liu San, Third Master, we can’t just take your word for it. Who would believe such a biased claim? Now I could also say that the five geniuses of the Horse-thief Gang were killed by someone else. Who would believe it? Third Master, would you believe it?”
Third Master squinted his eyes, and he was indeed at a loss for words.
But at this moment, Wang Dachui from the Wang family suddenly spoke, “I can testify that Yang Chen killed the five talents of the Red-clothed Gang.”
“Huh?”
“Wang Dachui! ”
“Wang Dachui, what are you trying to do!” Feng Changkong’s face turned cold.
It took quite some effort to get Third Master to shut up, so what was Wang Dachui trying to do by suddenly interjecting now?
He could understand the grievances between Wang Dachui and Yang Chen, but he thought that Wang Dachui would be able to put aside past grievances and unite against the Horse-thief Gang. Who would have thought that Wang Dachui, with such a narrow mindset, would try to betray Yang Chen at this time!
“Wang Dachui!” Yang Zhengyi, the Great Elder of the Yang family, said with a cold voice.
Wang Dachui sneered, ‘What am I trying to do? Of course, I’m going to tell the truth. Don’t worry, I can witness that Yang Chen did kill the five geniuses of the Horse-thief Gang. Wang Lang, come and take a look. Be sure to uphold justice for the events that happened inside the Monster Beast Mountain.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Lang, who had been waiting for his chance to shine, coughed twice and bowed to all sides, “All of you, at that time, I was hiding in the dark, not daring to show myself, but I could see the whole situation clearly. Yang Chen is indeed powerful. With just one move, he killed both Zhang Long and Zhang Ying!”
Yang Chen narrowed his eyes. This Wang Lang really knew how to cut corners, not mentioning Xu Kun’s involvement. If he really spoke about Xu Kun, it would be more difficult for the Horse- thief Gang to explain themselves.
However, how could Yang Chen bring it up himself?
If he did, wouldn’t it mean admitting that he had killed the five members of the Horse-thief Gang?
“I can guarantee with my life that Yang Chen indeed killed Zhang Ying and Zhang Long!” Wang Lang declared with an oath, then moved his mocking eyes to Yang Chen. He wanted to see how Yang Chen would get out of this predicament this time.
Humph, stealing his limelight?
As far as he was concerned, dealing with someone had never required strength, but intelligence!
Wang De’s foolishness would not apply to him!
Today, who could protect Yang Chen?
