840 Mysterious Shadow (1/2)

Yang Gongcheng's goal in coming to the Five Tigers Sect was indeed the Dragon City Talismans. He also wanted to get his hands on these two women. As for the accusations, they were completely false, made up out of thin air. As long as he got the Dragon City Talismans and the Five Tigers Sect obeyed him, he would not trouble them further.

After all, the Five Tigers Sect was still a large sect. If he went overboard, it would not be good for the Baili Sect. This world was still not the Baili Sect's yet.

”Go our separate ways and not interfere with each other? Since when has your Baili Sect spared our Five Tigers Sect?” Xie Rengui smiled mockingly.

In the past, the Baili Sect had forced the Five Tigers Sect to take Fu Yu in through marriage. Fu Yu was just Yang Gongcheng's adopted daughter, and her relationship with him was also unclear. But they requested for the young sect leader of the Five Tigers Sect to officially marry her in a grand ceremony. On the surface, it appeared as a marriage between two sects. In reality, they wanted to place their chess piece in the Five Tigers Sect.

The Baili Sect was powerful, so they had to put up with it. For so many years, Fu Yu reigned freely and unscrupulously in the Five Tigers Sect. But because she had the Baili Sect backing her, Xie Rengui had been forced to endure it. Now, Fu Yu had thrown the sect into chaos and had secretly brought a Sect Grand Elder over. She was stirring up trouble out of nowhere, and the Baili Sect had forced their way into the sect. How could he endure it any longer?

”Elder Xie, at least you are still the Five Tigers Sect's sect leader,” Yang Gongcheng stated plainly.

”Oh, is Sect Leader Yang trying to say that the reason I became the Five Tigers Sect's sect leader was because you intentionally let me? Otherwise, you would have taken me down long ago and replaced me with a puppet sect leader, is that it? If so, I truly need to thank Sect Leader Yang for your 'kindness'.”

Xie Rengui's expression became even colder.

”Elder Xie, if you put it that way, I will not deny it. You won't be sect leader of the Five Tigers Sect for much longer.” Yang Gongcheng nodded his head seriously.

Upon hearing this, a look of joy flashed in Liu Hua's eyes. Yang Gongcheng had previously promised to find a way to make Liu Hua sect leader of the Five Tigers Sect. From the looks of it now, this matter was about to play out.

The facial expressions of Yun Pengqing and the other Five Tigers Sect Sect Grand Elders turned ugly. Presumptuous! They were too presumptuous! Since when was the identity of the Five Tigers Sect sect leader determined by Yang Gongcheng?

”Hehe, Yang Gongcheng. Such injustice is doomed for destruction. By behaving in such a way, you might be able to act presumptuously for a while, but can you act this way for your entire life? These two young maidens are members of the Five Tigers Sect. As the sect leader, I am ashamed that I was unable to protect them. However, did you think that it would be so easy to obtain the Dragon City Talismans? Be careful not to hurt yourself.”

Xie Rengui suddenly laughed out loud. As a sect leader, he was indeed a failure. Before this, he was already no match for Yang Gongcheng. Now that Yang Gongcheng had broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm, the difference between them was even greater. At least in front of him, Yang Gongcheng had the right to act presumptuously.

However, in the entire world, no matter how good something seemed, there was always something better. No one could act presumptuously forever.

”Xie Rengui, back in the day, you were a peerless genius. Back then, I was no match for you. You were previously so heroic, wanting to compete even with the gods. What's the matter? Now that you are old and your body is frail, has your heart also lost its spirit?”

”Even if you do not mention it, I know that it was very strange for the two Dragon City Talismans to appear on those two little girls. At the same time, I also know that the mysterious person that Cheng Zongping encountered in the forest is very likely related to those two women. However, since I dare to act upon it, I am not afraid of retribution from anyone. If the person does not appear, so be it. If he does, I will settle debts both new and old with him. Humph, he dared to steal my Baili Sect's Blue Silk Cloud Net! He must be tired of living,” Yang Gongcheng exclaimed with a cold face.

Since it had come to this, he did not hide anything anymore, directly admitting that the attempted slaughter of the Five Tigers Sect members was the work of the Baili Sect. Some things that Xie Rengui could figure out, he could also figure out. Although that mysterious person was incredible, Yang Gongcheng was not afraid of him. It was because he was clear how big the difference was between the Golden Elixir Realm and the Embryonic Breathing Realm. This was also the reason why he dared to act so brazenly, making light of the Five Tigers Sect. The Golden Elixir Realm and the Embryonic Breathing Realm were two completely different levels.

Cheng Zongping and Yun Pengqing felt that this mysterious person was frightening because their cultivation was insufficient. If they also had Golden Elixir Realm cultivation, they most likely would not have thought so.

Also, he had guessed that the mysterious person at most only had Golden Elixir Realm cultivation. Even though Yang Gongcheng had just broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm and was no match for people who had done so long ago, he did not need to fear them.

Yang Gongcheng did not know that his Blue Silk Cloud Net was not in Mo Wen's hands, but instead was in the hands of the Five Tigers Sect. Who would have thought that an exalted spiritual weapon like the Blue Silk Cloud Net would actually be completely ignored?

”Yang Gongcheng, everyone is clear about your goal. You can take the two Dragon City Talismans but don't harm those two young maidens.” Xie Rengui took a deep breath. The circumstances forced him to yield. At this moment, he could only take a step back and preserve the lives of the two maidens before anything else.

This feeling was upsetting. It was as though he had been slapped by another person and still needed to bow his head and beg for forgiveness. However, if he did not do so, what else could he do? Fight to the death against the Baili Sect? They would pay an even higher price if they did so.

”Xie Rengui, those two women stole my Baili Sect's Han Imperial Jade Seal. Right now, they are being held by us. Of course, I will confiscate their Dragon City Talismans. It has nothing to do with your Five Tigers Sect. If you want to save these two women, then bring out two more Dragon City Talismans to exchange for them.”

Yang Gongcheng snickered. Xie Rengui backing down made him even prouder. He intended to extort everything he could from them severely.

The crowd of Five Tigers Sect members was furious. They had never seen such a shameless person. It was practically daylight robbery!

Xie Rengui's expression also turned sullen. Both his fists were clenched, but he was somewhat helpless and could only forcefully hold back the anger in his heart.

”You want Dragon City Talismans. I still have eight. However, do you dare take them?”
