Shangguan Hongyu had been investigating the truth of the matter, and now that she had learned the truth from Xiyu, she felt surprisingly calm.
What Xiyu says should not be taken entirely at face value.
As the saying goes, having more helpers means having more options. Xi Yu is planning to deal with King Zhuanlun, and if she can get Shangguan Hongyu's help, she will have a better chance of winning.
Shangguan Hongyu remained calm and asked, "How did you know?"
“It’s my fault that Lord Shangguan is in trouble.” Xi Yu slumped down in a chair to the side.
Shangguan Hongyu raised an eyebrow and asked in a cold voice, "What do you mean by that?"
“Back then, when I stole Rama’s remains from King Yama and was desperate, it was Lord Shangguan who took me in and even helped me find a ghost doctor to change my appearance…” As Xiyu said this, tears welled up in her eyes.
If she had taken Rama's remains with her when she left, Justice Fortress would not have suffered that calamity, and Shangguan Xiong would not have died.
Because Xi Yu felt guilty, when King Zhuanlun wanted to kill Shangguan Hongyu, she suggested that Shangguan Hongyu go into the martial arts world and tell everyone that Luo Mo's remains had been placed in the Xishen Pavilion.
King Yama thought this made a lot of sense, so he disguised himself as a corpse and did not resort to violence.
"I will kill King Chaser. Young Master, please do not put yourself in danger." Xi Yu told Shangguan Hongyu the truth, only wanting to persuade Shangguan Hongyu to retreat behind the scenes, as preserving her life was the most important thing.
Shangguan Hongyu said, "The hatred for killing one's father is irreconcilable."
Whether King Yama is the real culprit or not can be found out by fighting him.
The weapon that killed Shangguan Xiong was too strange; it was probably a unique weapon.
Xi Yu looked at Bian Lang, hoping that Bian Lang could help persuade Shangguan Hongyu.
King Yama is highly skilled in martial arts and ruthless; this battle is no joke.
Bian Lang tapped the table lightly with his fingers and said, "The three of you together have a better chance of winning."
“I will kill King Chakravartin, but I will not cooperate with you,” Zhang Renfeng said coldly.
Bian Lang said disdainfully, "What kind of man doesn't even protect his own wife?"
“She is not my wife.” Zhang Renfeng was clearly still angry with Xiyu.
Bian Lang retorted, "You two never consummated your marriage?"
Zhang Renfeng lowered his head and immediately fell silent.
We've been married for so long, we've done all the things we should have done countless times.
In fact, his feelings for Xiyu had already transcended hatred.
Wanting to kill King Yama alone is also a way of protecting Drizzle.
"Ah Sheng, don't be angry anymore. The three of us will go together tonight." Xi Yu said helplessly.
Both Zhang Renfeng and Shangguan Hongyu are very stubborn.
If that's the case, if the three of them could go together, the chances of winning would be much greater, and perhaps none of them would have to die.
"And you, sir?" Zhang Renfeng slowly raised his head, his face full of mockery as he looked at Bian Lang.
Bian Lang said, "I'm just a corpse driver."
“The corpse drivers at the Corpse-Driving Inn are all highly skilled in martial arts,” Zhang Renfeng said.
Bian Lang shook his head: "I'm not from the Corpse Transport Inn."
It was already completely dark outside, and a light rain made me restless.
In a short while, King Yama will begin his practice.
Having followed King Yama for many years, Xi Yu knows King Yama very well.
After obtaining Rama's remains, King Chakravartin continued to study them, hoping to decipher Rama's internal energy from them.
If Rama's remains had not been stolen by the fine rain, King Chakravartin might have already mastered Rama's inner power and become invincible in the world.
The best chance of victory is to launch a sneak attack while King Yama is practicing his skills.
"If you want to kill King Yama, why not include me?" Lei Bin's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Lei Bin wants to live a peaceful life with his beloved wife, so King Yama must die.
No sooner had the voice fallen than Lei Bin pushed open the door and entered.
He put his hands in his sleeves and hunched his back slightly, looking just like a street thug.
"Lei Bin, this is none of your business," Xi Yu said coldly.
Lei Bin laughed and said, "Xi Yu, you want to live a good life with Zhang Renfeng, and I also want to live a good life with Qing Tong. As long as we kill King Zhuanlun, we can both get what we want."
"Who can prove your sincerity?" Xi Yu didn't trust Lei Bin at all.
Lei Bin said, "Qing Tong."
"It's alright, one more person means one more strength," Bian Lang interjected with a smile.
We need to get started soon; Xiyu doesn't want any complications at this time.
Even if Lei Bin had ulterior motives, with Bian Lang watching over her, Shangguan Hongyu was unlikely to get into trouble.
Bian Lang still has that much confidence.
The group remained silent in the room.
After a short while, Xi Yu broke the silence and said, "Now is the perfect time."
After King Yama checked into the inn, he did not stay in the best room, but chose the attic in the backyard of the inn, so that it would be convenient for him to practice his skills.
The group of five quietly arrived at the backyard.
The lights were on in the attic, and the figure of King Yama could be seen.
The shadow cast by the lamplight on the window remained motionless.
King Yama could not escape, therefore the fine rain meant that everyone rushed forward swiftly.
If we can obtain Rama's remains, we will have the Wheel-Turning King by the throat.
The drizzle entrusted the important task of destroying Rama's remains to Bianlang.
The four of them needed to deal with King Chakravartin, but only Bian Lang was an idle person. He could hold a torch and, after obtaining Rama's remains, he threatened to destroy them, which would surely distract King Chakravartin.
That moment was the perfect opportunity for them to kill King Yama.
The most crucial part of the entire plan was to quickly seize Rama's remains.
Xi Yu suggested that she, Zhang Renfeng, and Lei Bin hold off King Zhuanlun, while Shangguan Hongyu snatched the corpse and threw it to Bian Lang.
To successfully complete the plan, everyone needs to trust each other.
Bian Lang wholeheartedly approved of Xi Yu's plan.
Xi Yu's cold gaze swept over everyone, and with a slight nod, she prepared to use her light-footed skills to ascend the building.
Bian Lang suddenly reached out to stop him, saying, "King Yama is not in the house."
The shadow cast by the candlelight on the window was clearly a mannequin.
“We all think that person is the Wheel King, what makes you think so…” It’s normal for Lei Bin to have some resentment after suffering losses at Bian Lang’s hands.
Bian Lang picked up a stone and threw it forcefully at the attic window.
With a crack, a hole was smashed in the window, and a small paper figure could be clearly seen next to the candlestick.
Everyone was surprised.
Where did the Wheel King go?
"Oh no..." Xi Yu quickly realized.
From the very beginning, they fell into the trap of the Wheel King.
"A mere corpse driver, yet his eye for talent is so sharp." King Yama's voice drifted from the rooftop on the left.
Everyone turned to look, and saw King Yama standing high up, his black cloak bathed in the bright moonlight, obscuring his face, but his figure was chilling.
The Wheel-Turning King had already set a trap in that house; anyone who entered would surely die.
Although Bian Lang saw through the trap, King Zhuanlun didn't care. No matter how many more people were in the courtyard, they wouldn't be a match for him.
"King of the Wheels, did you kill my father?" Shangguan Hongyu drew her sword and asked angrily.
King Yama chuckled and said, "That idiot Shangguan Xiong caused his family to be destroyed and his people to die over a corpse. He is utterly foolish."
Seeing Shangguan Hongyu struggling to control her anger, Xi Yu suddenly leaped up from the ground, her body as light as a wisp of smoke.
Not to be outdone, Shangguan Hongyu swiftly rushed towards the roof from the left.
