C12 The Hundred Kingdoms Fighting the Jianghu (2/2)
Killing a sect was easier said than done, as Fu Lianwei was in a tough spot.
As the TongHui Tang's martial arts selection was going on like a raging fire, news of the theft of the Academy's treasure, « Heavenly Wolf God Fist » suddenly spread and caused the entire TongHui Tang to boil.
”Go investigate. We have to find out everything.” Fan Tianlang was furious.
The disciples who had finished with the selection were all called out, causing the various sects to turn their attention to the TongHui Tang s.
Soon after, many other small sects and sects began to show signs of disciples being killed or treasures being stolen. The entire martial arts world began to grow restless. TongHui Tang also sent people to help these small sects track the culprit.
After that, the peak-cauldron pie received a request from a mysterious person to deliver a large amount of rouge medicine to Shujiang City's brothel in the territory of Chutang.
The customer paid a heavy sum, and for the sake of the safety of the goods, Fu Lianwei sent his son, Fu Chengying out personally. Because of the long journey, Fu could not make it back before the tournament.
Fu Lianwei was even more happy that his son couldn't come back. After all, there would be a bloody massacre in the Martial Competition. Fu Chengying was not present, so he was a lot more at ease. Thus, he made the arrangements for how to carry out the envoy's orders.
A few days later, something major happened again in TongHui Tang.
”Reporting to Hall Master, when Senior Brother's corpse was sent over by Heavenly River Church, they said that they found his body on the Tuo Tian River's riverbank, and even found his own 'Heavenly Wolf God Fist'.” Reporting to the disciple, he said.
Fan Tianlang was stupefied, no one knew what he was thinking, and his expression was filled with regret. Then, he said in a choked voice to the disciple who came to report: ”Go to the accounts room to pay some silver, and thank Heavenly River Church. Then, I instruct everyone to prepare the ceremony.”
Waiting for the disciple to report before leaving, Fan Tianlang's expression changed, and waved his hand.
A tall and sturdy man dressed entirely in black and wearing a black veil instantly appeared in front of Fan Tianlang as he clasped his hands together.
”Yes sir!”
The cold voice of the Black Man was crisp and clear, and then instantly disappeared in front of Fan Tianlang.
In the back hall of TongHui Tang, five people sat according to their seats.
”Elders, Donghao is dead. I can't believe that he has our 'Heavenly Wolf God Fist' in his bosom. I feel that the matter is not simple, so I came here to discuss with everyone to see which segment was the wrong one, resulting in this.” Fan Tianlang was a little sad.
These words did not cause the elders to be surprised, they had already received detailed information about Black Man from the elders before they came.
”Donghao was brought up by us, and we were also prepared to push him to be our next Hall Master. That's why we entrusted him with such a heavy responsibility, and also allowed him to go out and train. Elder Gao, did something go wrong with your plan? ” Great Elder Wang Zutong was also somewhat sad about Dongfang Mu's death.
”How is that possible, Hall Master understands my plan the best. Furthermore, with Dong Hao's martial arts skills, ordinary people will not be able to do anything to him. I am thinking if there are spies from peak-cauldron pie in our TongHui Tang. ” Gao Hongming questioned.
Fan Tianlang still had a lot of trust in Gao Hongming, after hearing what the other party said, his eyes suddenly flashed with a dense killing intent.
”Any leads?” Fan Tianlang asked anxiously.
”I am only speculating, and there is no conclusive evidence. The reason we arranged for Dong Hao to bring along fist spectrum was to use them to frame peak-cauldron pie. But until now, with Dong Hao having left for more than half a month, logically speaking, he should have long placed his fist spectrum in the hands of peak-cauldron pie He Kai. However, Donghao was killed, and he was also carrying a fist spectrum. This means that the peak-cauldron pie knew of our plan in advance, and thus killed Donghao in warning. ” As Gao Hongming analyzed the situation, he deliberately cast a glance at Fourth Elder Hao Chungang.
Fan Tianlang was paranoid in nature, but how could he not notice Gao Hongming's little movements? But he knew in his heart that since the two of them were not compatible with each other, and Hao Chungang hated those despicable acts, he would not place any suspicion on Hao Chungang.
Regarding Gao Hongming's analysis, everyone present was extremely doubtful. The five of them were the only ones who knew of this plan. The elder was loyal to the TongHui Tang, so it was impossible for any of them, and Fan Tianlang was even more impossible.
Gao Hongming's analysis obviously still had a lot of loopholes, so he was not sure if there was really a traitor.
