248 Lian Cans Outcome (1/2)

Just because of one word from the new disciple who had entered the Autumn Valley just half a year ago, Zhou Donghuang, and the cold response of Wang Cheng made their Valley Head execute him on the spot?

In fact, he had even declared that he was acting on behalf of the court!

As the Autumn Valley Head, He Jin had the power and authority to do so, but he had never made use of this authority and had always presented himself as a kind and approachable Valley Head.

Even when Wang Cheng implied something about his daughter, He Mengxi, He Jin had not reacted at all.

But now, he had killed Wang Cheng without a second thought because of Zhou Donghuang!

Be it Liuji or Hebin, all looked at Zhou Donghuang with a fearful gaze.

Although they did not know why their Valley Head had acted in this manner because of Zhou Donghuang, it was clear that Zhou Donghuang was not someone they could offend.

”Donghuang, are you pleased with how I handled it?” He Jin asked Zhou Donghuang with a smile, his expression kind and affable. If they had not witnessed the man kill Wang Cheng with their own eyes, Liuji and Hebin would have thought that this was a totally different person.

”Thank you, Valley Head.” Zhou Donghuang nodded with a smile.

”Let's go to the outer sect arena,” He Jin called as he led Zhou Donghuang, He Mengxi and the other two disciples towards the outer sect area. Throughout the journey, the party was silent as Liuji and Hebin were even afraid to breathe too loudly.

He Jin's courtesy towards Zhou Donghuang had far exceeded their expectations.

They could hardly imagine why their Valley Head had treated Zhou Donghuang in such a manner.

Even if he were the illegitimate son of the Valley Head, there was no need for the Valley Head to treat him like that.

”The Autumn Valley Head is here!”

Once Zhou Donghuang and the party arrived outside the outer sect area, many outer sect disciples had already recognized He Jin at the head of the party and called out excitedly.

”Now, all four Valley Heads have brought their disciples here... looks like the battle between the mid Dharma adepts of our Lightning Sword Sect and the Thunder Knife Sect is about to begin.”

”Hmph! Those people from the Thunder Knife Sect are too arrogant, how dare they challenge our Lightning Sword Sect! We have many talents of our own!”

”The Thunder Knife Sect have unfriendly intentions; we should not underestimate them.”

...

Now, among the group of Lightning Sword Sect elders and disciples who had gathered in the outer sect arena, some were filled with confidence while others were somewhat fearful of the challengers from the Thunder Knife Sect.

”Zhou Donghuang, what a rare sight, I did not expect to see you here... I looked for you many times, but you were always training behind closed doors.”

This young man was none other than the only son of the Spring Valley Head, Liu Lang, and a renowned rich playboy in the Lightning Sword Sect.

Liu Lang floated in mid-air, a faint golden glow enveloping his body. Clearly, he was still in the ultimate Primal Core stage and had yet to reach the Dharma stage.

”You were looking for me? What's the matter?” Zhou Donghuang glanced at Liu Lang. He was not familiar with Liu Lang. Previously, Liu Lang had bugged him to produce some fake goods for him to sell, and because he happened to be free, he had passed the fake goods to Liu Lang for him to sell.

Then, Liu Lang had successfully sold all the fake goods to elders of the Summer Valley with surprising efficiency.

Of course, Zhou Donghuang did not think that he owed Liu Lang a favor because of that because Liu Lang had done that for his own pleasure.

They were simply making use of each other.

”Do I need a reason to look for you?” Liu Lang looked at Zhou Donghuang as he bemoaned. He smiled and said, ”Wouldn't you consider me a friend, at least?”

Liu Lang himself did not know why he had such a fondness towards Zhou Donghuang, who treated him so coldly, when he did not even pay any attention to others who crowded around him and tried to get into his good books.

He not only thought that it was interesting that Zhou Donghuang knew how to forge fake goods, but also respected Zhou Donghuang deeply for defeating the Summer Valley disciple Lian Can just after reaching the Dharma stage.

”Friend?” Zhou Donghuang shook his head and said, ”Master Liu, a friend like you, I am not worthy of calling you a friend. If there is nothing else between us, let us part ways.”

Zhou Donghuang had heard all about the playboy stories of Liu Lang. He did not think highly of him at all and did not wish to associate himself with such a person.

”Zhou Donghuang, you are really even crazier than me, even more arrogant...” Liu Lang's eyes flashed as he declared seriously. ”But, I believe, sooner or later, you will take me as your friend!”

Liu Lang stared at Zhou Donghuang for a moment, then turned and left.

However, Zhou Donghuang pretended not to have heard Liu Lang's words.

”Little Brother, that Liu Lang is always very proud and looks down on everyone... who would've thought that he would come up and try to befriend you, only to be rejected.” He Mengxi laughed.

”Without his father, he is nothing,” Zhou Donghuang replied flatly.

”Actually, you can't say that... if not for you, he would be the youngest to reach the ultimate Primal Core stage in the Lightning Sword Sect in the last hundred years,” He Mengxi shook her head and said. ”He is a year younger than you, but has already reached the ultimate Primal Core stage and has been a Golden Essence adept for two years. Although he is a playboy, he still has remarkable martial art talent.”

Seeing Zhou Donghuang's eyes flash, but not respond, He Mengxi did not continue talking about Liu Lang and changed the topic.

”That man there is the Valley Head of our Lightning Sword Sect, Yu Yucheng.” He Mengxi looked at the Valley Head of the Lightning Sword Sect and introduced Yu Yucheng to Zhou Donghuang.

”The man in front of Liu Lang is his father, the Spring Valley Head, Liu Fengao.” After introducing Yu Yucheng, He Mengxi introduced the other three Valley Heads of the inner sect valleys to Zhou Donghuang. The other three Valley Heads had already arrived at the outer sect arena before them.
