"Lord Liu, save... me!" When Minister Zhu saw Liu Yi appear, he grasped at a straw.
After much deliberation, Liu Yi finally decided to find an excuse to visit the Zhu residence, hoping that she might be able to save Bian Lang's life if necessary.
Her pretext was to return the bag of spirit stones to Minister Zhu.
But no one expected that Bian Lang had not only escaped, but also caused bloodshed in the backyard of the Zhu family and trampled Zhu Shangshu underfoot.
"It'll be more comfortable from here on out." Bian Lang exerted force with his feet, and with a series of crisp sounds, Zhu Shangshu's body turned into a bloody pulp, leaving only his head standing in the center of the pulp.
Seeing Minister Zhu end up like this, Liu Yi felt that he deserved it and that he had no choice but to suffer the consequences. Over the years, he and his father had persecuted the people of Kaoshan City quite a bit.
Bian Lang eliminated the father and son, which can be considered as ridding the people of a scourge, but he also offended the entire Kao Shan Gang.
The most important thing for the "backing" group is the word "backing".
The governor of Kaoshan City has a powerful backer, doesn't he?
In the end, he was still trampled into mincemeat.
In order to make the name "backer" truly live up to its name, the Backer Gang will spare no effort to kill Bian Lang.
Liu Yi thought for a few steps and went over to Bian Lang, stuffing the money bag into his hand and urging him, "Bian Lang, you should run away quickly and never come back to Kaoshan City again."
"We agreed to split it in half." Bian Lang wasn't in a hurry. He divided the spirit stones, took only his share, and then walked towards the heads of the mother and child.
Only then did Liu Yi see the two heads. Her delicate body trembled, and she kicked Zhu Shangshu's head until it exploded.
Bian Lang took out a piece of red cloth from his pocket, wrapped the two heads together, and climbed over the wall to leave.
Liu Yi hurriedly went to the front yard and asked the servants of the Zhu family to inform the city lord.
The death of Minister Zhu was no small matter.
Not long after, Bai Ruyun, the city lord of Kaoshan City, rushed over.
Bai Ruyun was over fifty years old, with almost all her hair white, and was already a powerful expert in the late stage of the Core Formation Realm.
Seeing the horrific scene in the backyard of the Zhu residence, Bai Ruyun's face twitched in disbelief.
Liu Yi then told Bai Ruyun about what had happened there and the background of the incident.
Bai Ruyun had heard about the feud between Minister Zhu and Bian Lang, but she never expected that things would end like this.
“Old Zhu’s son is always causing trouble. I’ve advised Old Zhu several times to discipline him properly, but it’s a pity.” Bai Ruyun shook her head gently.
If Minister Zhu had truly heeded his words, he wouldn't have met such a tragic end.
Liu Yi knows Bai Ruyun well. Although she was criticizing Zhu Shangshu, she would probably go all out to hunt down Bian Lang next.
"Master Liu, I have a feeling that Bian Lang is up to no good. First he sent the corpse of Hydra, then he killed Old Zhu. I'm afraid his ultimate goal is to destroy our Kao Shan Gang." Bai Ruyun frowned.
Liu Yi said, "Impossible. Bian Lang is just one person. How can he possibly contend with the Backer Gang?"
“There must be a powerful backer behind them, and recently someone has infiltrated the City of Backers.” Bai Ruyun felt that the situation was serious and that it might be time to test the unity of the Backers Gang again.
Liu Yi asked in astonishment, "Does Lord Bai mean that Bian Lang is a spy sent by Iron Enclosure City?"
“It’s just a possibility,” Bai Ruyun said.
Bai Ruyun already had a plan in mind, but the leader needed to make the decision himself before he could launch it.
When Bai Ruyun left the Zhu residence, she advised Liu Yi not to leave Kaoshan City for the time being.
Liu Yi looked into the courtyard again, wondering if Bian Lang was really a spy for Iron City.
The Kaoshan Gang and the Tieweicheng Gang have always been at odds, and in recent years their frictions have intensified, with a strong tendency to go to war.
Iron City continuously sends spies to the Mountain Gang, while the Mountain Gang is also trying every means to infiltrate Iron City.
It is said that when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. The fiercer the fight between the Mountain Gang and the Iron Enclosure City, the happier the Shu Mountain and Dengtian Pavilion, who have been allied for many years through marriage, will be.
Several days later, all the mountain lords arrived at Kaoshan City.
Bai Ruyun firmly believed that Bian Lang was a spy sent by Tieweicheng.
However, many mountain lords felt that Minister Zhu died a good thing.
Over the years, under Bai Ruyun's protection, Minister Zhu has oppressed the people, causing his faction to lose popular support.
This situation was something Bai Ruyun hadn't anticipated.
Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, Liu Yi finally spoke up, saying, "Bian Lang's cultivation is unfathomable. I don't believe he was sent by Iron Enclosure City."
"Lord Liu, Lang will send the corpse of the Hydra to your Mazong Mountain. Could it be that there is a story between you two?" Bai Ruyun was furious when he heard that Liu Yi was also on his side.
Liu Yi said calmly, "Bian Lang was able to bring the corpse of the Nine-Headed Serpent out of the Misty Forest and subdue the Six-Headed Golden Monkey. What level of cultivation do you all think is required to do these things?"
No one answered the question.
In truth, everyone knows that it would have been extremely difficult to accomplish this without the Nascent Soul Ancestor.
Su Jiuyin, the leader of the Kaoshan Gang, has been stuck at the mid-Nascent Soul stage for many years. He has been in seclusion recently, but he hasn't broken through to the late-Nascent Soul stage.
If Bian Lang is so young, it would be terrifying if he had already reached the Nascent Soul Realm.
Looking at the major powers, it seems that no such young talent has emerged yet.
"Lord Liu, what do you think should be done with Bian Lang?" Su Jiuyin sat on a stone chair, holding a wine gourd in her arms, her face flushed from drinking.
Liu Yi clenched her fists and said softly, "I think we should try to win over Bian Lang."
"Nonsense!" Bai Ruyun was so angry that she jumped up from her chair.
Su Jiuyin was quite interested in Liu Yi's words and said with a smile, "Tell me your reasons."
“Because Bian Lang said he was a corpse driver from Zhengyi Fortress,” Liu Yi said, enunciating each word clearly.
She thought about it for a long time before deciding to speak out.
