111 An Assassination Attempt on the Way Home (1/2)
Mi Kongqun’s gaze was sharp as the blade as it danced across their faces. All of them could feel the stinging pain on their faces as if they were being sliced.
”Straightforward!”
Qiu Yunsan was delighted as he waved his hands. ”Let him go!”
Mi Kongqun snorted coldly, springing up to make a turn in midair and disappeared without a trace.
He had not the slightest ounce of patience to take even a peek at these people.
If it were not for his ultimate mission, he would have gone all out to attack. Even if he had to flee for his life and run across the globe, he would still want to end all four of these annoying fellows simply to curb his fury.
”It’s ours! The Luminary Paste is ours!” Qiu Yunsan hopped with joy, his face breaking out into smiles.
Dong Tianleng and his cohorts were joyous as well, contentment written across their faces.
”I really can’t believe that this old fellow really has the capacity to obtain the divine item that the Yutang royalty treats as a forbidden treasure!”
”Really, if the boss hadn't reminded us, we’d never have thought of it.”
”It’s all thanks to the boss! The boss is our lucky star…”
”This is great! I must marry a few more concubines once I return.
I’ve always worried about my decadence and wondering if it would be the death of me. Well, it looks like I no longer have to worry about that!”
”What do we do with the extra one?” Chun Wanfeng asked.
”How is there an extra? Including boss, we get one each!” Dong Tianleng stared at him. ”What do you mean, dumb*ss?”
Chun Wanfeng was quick to shake his head. ”That’s exactly what I mean. I just wanted to test all of you, to see if you guys are sincere to the boss!”
”Tsk!” The other three scoffed.
Anyone could see that Chun Wanfeng had other thoughts in his mind, but no one bothered to call him out on it.
Yun Yang snorted and said, ”It's good to see that you fellows at least have some conscience. But keep them for yourselves. If I’m correct, and even if he did send the Luminary Paste over, I would never dare to eat it.”
”Why?” Dong Tianleng said, ”Would he dare to poison them?”
”Why wouldn’t he?” Yun Yang retorted cynically. ”He did not dare to kill all of you today most likely because he was restrained by Old Marshal Qiu and the following counter attacks by all four families. But if all of you were to die within the next few days, he would just say that he knew nothing about it, he was in the palace all the while. Even if your families wanted to find the culprit, his cultivation base is perfectly fine so he could do whatever he wants.”
”Perhaps, he could even vanish right away after confirming your deaths. The world is huge, where are you going to find him?”
Yun Yang looked at the four men with disappointment. ”How could all of you roam the martial arts world so carelessly? A tiny temptation like this is sufficient to corroded all your alertness?”
The four young masters were shocked, exchanging looks of guilt.
”Surely... he wouldn't?” Chun Wanfeng gaped like a fish on land. ”He swore to the heavens just now…”
Yun Yang waved and turned to leave. ”I know you fellows just can't let go of the Luminary Paste. However excited you are, though, be careful. Who knows if it’s the genuine Luminary Paste but mixed with something else that could bring about death?”
Listening to Yun Yang’s warning, the popinjays’ faces fell as if struck by lightning.
How could this be? They had gone through so much trouble to get their hands on the legendary holy supplement for men, the Luminary Paste, only to be told that it might be poisoned?
When they shook themselves out of their daze, Yun Yang was already nowhere to be found.
”Boss must have his reasons for saying that.” Dong Tianleng said, ”I won’t immediately consume it when the Luminary Paste arrives after three days, I’ll put it aside first. If you good folks aren’t afraid, you can go ahead and try it first.”
The other three were immediately angered. F*cking Dong Tianleng, are you making us your lab rats?
…
Yun Yang had left briskly. Just as he stepped out of the alley, he had immediately departed using his skills.
He could vaguely tell that someone had been waiting for him.
Actually, it was more like the person had never left but had been stalking him all this while.
Since you're still here and are so intent on revenge, this young master shall not let this chance go to play with you tonight!
When he walked towards the Residence of Yun,the feeling of being followed grew increasingly distinct.
Yun Yang kept on walking even as he cultivated the Fog of Cloud Conjuration.
When he passed a corner, he waved his arm nonchalantly and a few white shadows left his side soundlessly, melting into the dark. One of the white shadows sped towards the Residence of Yun like an arrow in flight.
Yun Yang continued his stride. Seeing that he would make a turn in front, he suddenly halted his steps and scratched his head. With a frustrated look, he said, ”What a terrible memory I have? I forgot it again…”
He then turned around as if going back to retrieve something.
