Chapter 1038 – Malice
Yang Huishan never thought that he would lose two sons because of the sale of the granary. He hated how An Zheng was merciless enough to kill two sons in a row. He also hated people like Huangfu En. He had clearly ordered them not to sell out the granary, so why was it empty?
The moment this matter had been exposed, Yang Huishan had already prepared to leave the Jinling. He felt that the Yang family had the blessing of the heavens, and would not expose sucuge matter until later, just when the Holy Emperor Chen Wunuo was in closed door cultivation.
Aesult, he was not too anxious, because many people had heard that Chen Wunuo was severely injured, and thus, they had no way of attacking him.
However, disaster was descending from the heavens, and the Emperor didn’t care about this matter. An insignificant person had come knocking on his door.
He knew what kind of personality An Zheng had. He waerson who would never give up chasing after him in the Ming Fa Si, and now that he no longer had the shackles of royal law, he did things even more brazenly. He was afraid, he was really afraid.
Yang Huishan was not stupid. He knew that if he were to escape with his family now, he would be wiped out by An Zheng on the way. Furthermore, it was rumored in the martial arts world that An Zheng had a group of experts assisting him. There were also rumors saying that An Zheng had created a very powerful sect with tens of thousands of disciples.
Facing sucerson and such a power, Yang Huishan knew that there was only one way. That was to implicate all those who were involved in the matter of selling the granary, in order to resist An Zheng.
Hand over the food?
Firstly, he did not believe that An Zheng would let the Yang family off the hook after he handed over the food. Secondly, he wanted to avenge his two sons.
There were too many people involved in the sale of North Mountain granary cases. From the Ministry of Revenue to the Military Department to the Department of Internal Affairs, many people had gotten a share of the profits. In normal times, in the golden age of the Great Xixi, money was not much to a large clan like theirs. However, the arrival of chaotic times and a large amount of silver meant that an army could be formed.
The atmosphere in the Yang family compound was incomparably tense. Even though they had gathered more than 500 cultivators, they still didn’t have a shred of confidence. When those people found out that An Zheng was actually Fang Zheng, they were already more than half afraid of him.
After all, An Zheng’s reputation as the King of Hell didn’t disappear even if he wasn’t in the Great Xixi for more than ten years.
“Master Yang, I have to leave first.”
Another clan member ran in front of Yang Huishan with an anxious expression on his face: “Just now, someone from the family sent a message to my family. An Zheng started a massacre in my house, I can’t stay in this group of people.”
The man turned to leave, but Yang Huishan grabbed his arm: “Brother, you can’t leave. This is An Zheng’s plan to lure the tiger out of the mountain. He wants to split us all and cause us to become flustered. If you leave now, my Yang family will be finished too, brother. Look at now, more than half of the people have already left, if An Zheng were to come now … ”
“Yang Huishan, you are too f * cking selfish. An Zheng has already started killing in my house, and you still want me to stay and protect you?”
That person broke free from Yang Huishan’s pull, and quickly left with his clan’s cultivators.
“I’m begging everyone!”
Yang Huishan wailed: “Everyone, don’t fall for An Zheng’s trick, how can he split himself into so many groups to cause trouble? It must be a scam that he made on purpose. If everyone had left, we would have truly fallen into his trap. ”
“Bah!”
Someone scolded as they walked, “Yang Huishan, you are such a despicable person. Your family is fate, but ours is not? An Zheng has already killed someone in my house, but you are still pretending to say that it’s his scheme. Don’t think that we don’t know, that’s why you dragged us along because you were afraid of death. ”
“Yes!” I say, if Yang Huishan had not called us over, An Zheng would not have come to our house! ”
“You’re right, in the beginning, An Zheng did not go to our house, he only went to find Yang Huishan. He knew that he was not An Zheng’s match, so he lied and said that An Zheng already knew the name list. Then, we were all tricked by him to come here, but because we came, we were exposed, and even angered An Zheng, that’s why he came to our house to kill people. ”
“Damn Yang Huishan, you will diorrible death!”
After the group left, the courtyard was quickly emptied. The people who were waiting and watching couldn’t wait any longer. Although no one came to send a message yet, it would be too late if the messenger arrived. No matter how important Yang Huishan’s life was, it was not as important as the lives of his own family.
It had been less than two hours since the first person had reported the news to them. Only the Yang family’s own people were left in the courtyard, all of them looked at each other, no one had any idea what to do.
“Master.”
Yang Huishan’s wife pleaded: “How about we hand over the food? Even if we hand over the food, how much of a loss would it be? At most, we can just go back to our hometown, where we have more food hoarded and the army. Why do we have to fight against that devil in the capital? I already don’t have two sons, you can’t let me cut off the back. ”
Yang Huishan’s second son, who was also his only remaining son, Yang Qian Jue also advised, “Father, Big Brother and Third Brother have already left. An Zheng is famous for killing without blinking an eye, especially for people like us who come from big families, he is full of hatred. Even if he doesn’t have a weakness, he would still want to kill someone. Furthermore, he has a weakness now … ”
“Shut up!”
Yang Huishan shouted, “You coward, could it be that your big brother’s third brother died for nothing?”
“Father!”
“Shut up!”
Yang Huishan paced back and forth in the house: “Even if the Yang family doesn’t want anything, I still want to kill this bastard. “Somebody, follow me to the secret room and take out the Yang Family’s precious treasure. At worst, we will die here!”
“Master, no.”
The Madam cried and advised, “Once that item is used, we will all be implicated and die.”
“I don’t care.”
Yang Huishan turned around and walked into the house, “Back then, my Yang family was also born as a martial general, and followed the late emperor to create the Great Xi world. At that time, our ancestors were invincible throughout the world using the Heavenly Thunder Explosion. Right now, although no one has successfully cultivated this Heavenly Lightning Explosion, but the treasure left behind by the Yang Family ancestor can cause the heavenly lightning in four directions, even if my family is destroyed, I will still bring An Zheng to hell. “Child, take out the Heavenly Lightning Burst and leave the capital with your mother. Go back to your hometown and properly support your mother.”
“Father, there’s no need.”
“You shut up.”
Yang Huishan brought his son Yang Qian Jue and a few cultivators who had gathered back to the mansion to open the secret passage which was located in the middle of the study room. The secret passageway was very long, but when it was opened, the lights on the two walls were already lit. Yang Huishan’s face changed, he quickened his pace and ran into the secret room.
The secret room was extremely large, over ten thousand square meters in size, and it was built in an extremely sturdy manner. In the middle of this secret room was a stone platform, and on it was sealed the Purple-Rank Divine Artifact that the Yang Family’s ancestor used, the Heavenly Thunder Explosion.
After that, there were no more cultivators in the Yang family that could shake the martial arts world, and most of the people in the Yang family were civil servants after the establishment of the Da Xi family. This Heavenly Lightning Blast was too overbearing. Those with insufficient cultivation could not use it. If one were to forcefully use it to attract lightning from all directions, they would instead be killed in one go.
The Sky Thunder Explosion was actually an object that looked like a bronze mirror. It was octagonal in shape, and on it were numerous runes that formed the eight trigrams pattern. At the very least, only those at the early stage of the Lower Celestial Stage could use Sky Thunder Explosion, and it was not safe either. Only those above the fifth stage of the Lower Celestial Stage would not suffer the backlash of the heavenly lightning that was triggered by the heavenly thunder.
This Heavenly Lightning Explosion was Yang Huishan’s last hope.
The chamber was brightly lit with lanterns.
A young man was sitting cross-legged on the stone platform. He was wearing a black robe and was holding the Heavenly Thunder Explosion Mirror in his hand. He was looking at it and seemed to be very interested in it. He raised his head, looked at Yang Huishan, and smiled: “Why are you so late?”
“An Zheng!”
When Yang Huishan saw that the person seated on the stone stage was actually An Zheng, his eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets. He stretched out his hand and did not point at An Zheng and shouted, but his arms were trembling violently.
“Hai.”
An Zheng answered crisply: “What did you call me for?”
He placed the Heavenly Thunder Explosion Mirror in his arms and jumped down from the stone platform. “Are you here to thank me for my kindness in not killing you? Oh … Are you here to take something from your Yang Family’s ancestor and die with me? “I’m really sorry, but I’ve already erased the remnants of the Yang family’s aura from your family’s ancestors’ belongings. Now I’m just throwing it to you, to you, it’s jusiece of scrap iron.”
An Zheng pointed to the surroundings: “Look, I didn’t touch anything else in your house, how are you doing?”
There were shelves all around the walls, and there were many Golden-Rank Spirit Stone on the shelves, there were no less than seven to eight hundred of them. On the other side of the secret room, there was a mountain of gold, silver, and jewelry.
An Zheng looked at Yang Huishan: “Did everyone leave? Weren’t there a lot of helpers you invited just now? Why is there only Yang Family now? This should be the first time you have tasted such a feeling, your face doesn’t look too good … “But, this is not a complete betrayal. You should feel lucky that the cultivators you have raised and your Yang family’s own cultivators are at least following you.”
An Zheng walked to the side of the shelf, picked up a gold plate of Spirit Stone and weighed it: “But I still want to test how reliable the people beside you are.”
He looked at the cultivators behind Yang Huishan. “I don’t want to repeat myself, so you all have to listen carefully. After you kill Yang Huishan, all of the Golden-Rank Spirit Stone and all of the gold and silver treasures, including all the magical equipment and cultivation manuals, are yours. As for how you divide it, that is your own business. ”
An Zheng walked to the side and sat down, his expression calm: “Yang Huishan, a person like you treats the world with the greatest malice. “I will try to treat you with the greatest malice. The Buddhist Sect always says that I do not believe in retribution, because I am the retribution of all of you.”
An Zheng waved his hand: “If you don’t want to, then I will do it myself. Anyone who enters this secret room, or even those who intend to help Yang Huishan from now on, die!”
A “pu” sound was heard!
A blade tip appeared on Yang Qianjue’s chest. The cultivator behind him shouted witwisted expression, “I don’t want to die, so just die!”
The blade twisted and turned a few times in Yang Qianjue’s heart before his body fell limply to the ground.
“No!”
Yang Huishan roared, but was kicked away. A few cultivators rushed forward and pressed down on Yang Huishan’s four limbs. Another cultivator wiped his neck with a knife and pulled Yang Huishan’s head off witu sound.
The man looked at An Zheng with a flattering face: “Master An, since we killed him, will you keep your promise?”
An Zheng shrugged his shoulders, made a inviting gesture, and really walked out of the secret room. Outside, An Zheng closed the door to the secret room, holding onto a bottle of wine and drank a few mouthfuls. Not long after, shouts of battle could be heard from inside, and all of this was within An Zheng’s expectations.
With so many treasures present, it was enough for these people to kill each other.
If you treat the world with the greatest malice, I will treat you with double malice.
