Chapter 329 Suspicion of Immortal Rivalry (1/2)
Chapter 329 – Suspicion of Immortal Rivalry
Upon death, Jiang Man's two damaged souls were released from his dead body. As if it held a deep grudge, the cracked ball of Jiang Man's soul lingered around Liu Bei and Yuan Shao for a while.
While it circled around the two, Jiang Man's ball of soul continued to fade.
As it noticed the crisis that its existence was in danger, the soul parted from Liu Bei and Yuan Shao. It went to the direction that it felt the most comfortable and safe.
One of them went into the body of Guan Yu!
The other one went into the body of Zhang Fei!
Guan Yu, who did not notice the soul, was still staring at his lost fourth brother in sadness. He neither cried nor lamented, but Guan Yu continued to look at Jiang Man's unsettled expression in a daze.
The memories about him and Jiang Man appeared in Guan Yu's mind as he tried his best to remember this sworn brother of his.
Guan Yu swore that he would not forget this man!
Zhang Fei almost went berserk after he realized that Jiang Man had died. He took his serpent spear and threatened to kill all servants and the cooks that poisoned Jiang Man.
Guan Yu managed to stop his third brother before he caused more scenes.
Meanwhile, Liu Bei continued pretending to cry, receiving all sympathy from all lords. On the contrary to his outward expression, his thought was on something else.
'Hahaha! He's dead! This fake sucker is finally dead! One of those motherfOOking immortals is dead! Why are you calling yourself an immortal when you can die like a dog! Well, I'm thankful for whoever poisoned this bastard. If you can do me a favor and poison all immortals in this land, I'll be grateful!'
Surprisingly, Liu Bei had always wanted his fourth brother, Jiang Man, to die a dog's death. He never valued Jiang Man's talent. Instead, Liu Bei was afraid that Jiang Man would use his status as an immortal to grow bigger than himself.
It was Liu Bei's jealousy that made him hate his own sworn brother. He always gazed at Tong in envy as he also wanted one of that superpower they had.

Yuan Shao and Tian Feng saw a couple of messages in the system window in front of them. They almost burst in laughter as they were freed from this otherworlder's sorcery.
'Finally, another one of them has gone to hell!'
'The heaven is still on our side. Those immortals are not so immortal at all!'
Yuan Shao and Tian Feng exchanged glances. They confirmed that even an immortal could still be killed.
Tian Feng took the chance while all eyes were on Liu Bei and the dead body of Jiang Man. He whispered to his Lord.
”My Lord, let's frame Zhang Tong with this incident. Since both of them are immortals, and everyone here knew about the rivalry between them. Let's cause a scene that Zhang Tong assassinated Jiang Man.”
Yuan Shao grinned, ”Of course. Even if you haven't told me that, I will still throw dirt on him.”
Standing up, Yuan Shao bowed to everyone inside the hall.
”Gentlemen, Lord Liu Bei, I think I have a prime suspect for this incident.”
Liu Bei's eyes gleamed and stared at Yuan Shao in suspicion. Pretending to be angered, he also stood up.
”Who is it!? Who killed my brother!?”
Yuan Shao turned to everybody in the hall one more time before he spoke in a loud voice.
”Zhang Tong!”
The crowd stared at Yuan Shao in disbelief. Tong was their grand commander, and they were doing well in this expedition. Why would he kill his ally?
Tao Qian stood up, ”From what evidence or basis that you think Zhang Tong did it?”
”Immortal rivalry, has any of you heard of it?”
All minor lords and Tao Qian had investigated into the immortality, immortals, and their powers. They also heard about rumors that these immortals killed each other for a mysterious reason.
At this moment, Liu Bei was also interested in the subject, ”What is this immortal rivalry? Can you clarify it for us, Lord Yuan?”
”All of you should know that my Yuan Clan and Zhang Tong's forces are not in an excellent term.”
Everyone nodded.
Yuan Shao continued, ”When my forces and Zhang Tong bared fangs at each other, I investigated about his power and his pasts, and I found many things interesting. Surrounding Zhang Tong, many weird events and supernatural incidents happened one after another. Everything connected to Zhang Tong and his superpower, of course. Those incidents told me one thing.”
He paused to pique the interest and create dramatic storytelling, ”Among all incidents, it involved other immortals like Zhang Tong. For example, many years ago, we found that there were six unique young people with great abilities traveled to Julu, but they were killed in the middle of the night in a gruesome manner. Two people were seen getting away from the crime scenes that same night. Do you know who they were?”
Yuan Shao smiled, ”One of them was Zhang Tong. The other was Hua Shi, Zhang Tong's first wife!”
The crowd sucked in cold breath. Hua Shi was known as the Goddess of Death because of her deadly archery and her light arrows. Her existence as an immortal was well-known.
