Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Seize Directly
"Isn’t this Wang Sangou from the Outer Hall?"
"It should be, he really does look like him!"
"That’s right, it’s San Gouzi!"
"What’s going on?"
Golden Sand Island has been the stronghold of the Golden Sand Gang for over a hundred years. Those living on the island are either gang mbers or relatives, so they all know each other well.
Though many outsiders have recently arrived on the island,
no one would mistake the gang uniform Wang Sangou is wearing.
But here he was, bound and gagged, being pushed along, looking utterly miserable.
How could soone treat a gang mber like this in the core territory of the Golden Sand Gang?
More and more people gathered around, all discussing, feeling incredulous.
"Mmm mmm!"
Wang Sangou thought this was his chance to escape and started struggling, making muffled sounds, trying to seek help from the surrounding gang mbers.
"Stay still!"
Wang Wu gave him a hard shove from behind.
Truth be told, Wang Wu was quite anxious at that mont.
After all, this was the base of the Golden Sand Gang, and over ninety percent of the surrounding people were gang mbers or their relatives.
If they incited public anger and everyone rushed forward, the consequences would be unimaginable!
However, the onlookers just exchanged glances.
No one dared to step forward.
The reason wasn’t complicated.
First of all, there weren’t many fools among the crowd.
Without a legitimate reason, who would dare to openly kidnap and humiliate a mber of the Golden Sand Gang on Golden Sand Island?
No one wanted to be the "outstanding bird" that gets shot down.
The second, and most important reason.
Was the presence of Zhang Yuan at the front of the three.
Blood Saber Butcher Chen Zian, this na has been ringing loud and clear lately.
Not only within Golden Sand Island but even among the Wuqi Tribe and beyond.
Whenever Zhang Yuan went out, he returned with a sack full of barbarian ears.
The scene of him exchanging battle rits in the Outer Hall has beco a unique spectacle on Golden Sand Island.
Drawing countless onlookers every ti!
Moreover, Zhang Yuan didn’t just kill ordinary barbarian warriors, but also many powerful Wuqi Warriors.
Although he’s an outsider, his reputation and prestige among the Golden Sand Gang mbers are very high.
The people respect Zhang Yuan’s strength and are grateful for his contributions to protecting Golden Sand Island.
Behind this respect and gratitude, there’s a trace of fear as well!
After all, how many aren’t afraid of a powerful killer who slaughters rcilessly?
The weight of Zhang Yuan far exceeds that of Wang Sangou.
But there are always fearless and heroic individuals in the Golden Sand Gang.
A fierce-looking samurai stepped forward, blocking Zhang Yuan’s path.
He clasped his fists and saluted Zhang Yuan, then asked in a deep voice, "May I ask what mistake Wang Sangou made to be treated like this by you?"
There was strong dissatisfaction in the tone of this Golden Sand Gang samurai.
In his view, even if Wang Sangou committed a grave mistake, it wasn’t Zhang Yuan’s place as an outsider to punish him.
Let alone parade him through the street.
Zhang Yuan stopped, his cold eyes staring at the other party.
The fierce samurai instantly felt an invisible evil aura crashing into him, as if he was suddenly surrounded by a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, greatly impacting his Divine Soul Consciousness.
He retreated a couple of steps instinctively, gripping his sword handle involuntarily.
The shock in his heart was beyond words.
How many people must one kill to forge such fierce and intense murderous aura?
"Wang Sangou is a traitor turned by the barbarians."
After subduing the "outstanding bird" with his presence, Zhang Yuan said calmly, "I’m taking him to Master Fan for handling!"
Zhang Yuan’s voice wasn’t loud but was heard clearly by everyone present.
Even from several hundred steps away, it could be heard distinctly!
The crowd was in an uproar.
Wang Sangou is a traitor?
Everyone could hardly believe their ears.
Many in the Golden Sand Gang knew Wang Sangou, and although his reputation wasn’t great, calling him a barbarian traitor was hard to understand.
If soone else said it, it would be taken as a slander.
But when it ca from the famous "Blood Saber Butcher," who dared not believe it?
"Mmm mmm mmm!"
Hearing Zhang Yuan’s accusation, Wang Sangou shook his head desperately, tears flying out.
He never imagined Zhang Yuan would put such a big label on him!
This Outer Hall Disciple of the Golden Sand Gang was both anxious and angry, his face flushed, ignoring the pain from his broken rib, and started struggling again.
At this mont, Zhang Yuan turned and gave Wang Wu a signal.
Wang Wu understood imdiately, reaching out to remove the cloth gagging Wang Sangou.
"Wrong, I’m innocent!"
Having regained the freedom to speak, Wang Sangou imdiately shouted hoarsely, "I-I’m not a traitor to the barbarians, I was instructed by Master Kuang to monitor the Blood Saber Butcher, just to watch him set sail and report back!"
Before he finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent.
What!?
Master Kuang instructed Wang Sangou to monitor the Blood Saber Butcher’s every move?
What does this an!
Everyone knew that Zhang Yuan set sail each ti to confront the Wuqi Barbarian Race.
With every sortie, he returned with significant achievents, greatly boosting the morale of the islanders.
Calling him a "hero" wasn’t an exaggeration!
So why monitor Zhang Yuan?
Everyone familiar with Wang Sangou knew that the "Master Kuang" he referred to was Outer Hall Incense Master Kuang Wei.
And Kuang Wei was Hall Master Gong Xinhe’s brother-in-law!
It was chilling upon reflection.
At this mont, Wang Sangou also realized sothing was wrong, and said in a panic, "I-I..."
Only to be gagged again.
Zhang Yuan said calmly, "This morning, when I went out to hunt barbarians, I was ambushed by hundreds of Wuqi Tribe warriors, including a Southern Barbarian Wizard!"
Zhang Yuan spoke up to this point, and it was clear to anyone with a functioning brain what was happening.
But thinking of Kuang Wei and Gong Xinhe, everyone was too afraid to speak.
The situation was deep and treacherous.
The fierce samurai blocking Zhang Yuan showed an awkward expression, caught between a rock and a hard place.
Zhang Yuan smiled coldly.
On the surface, his approach seed inappropriate.
He wasn’t supposed to openly reveal the truth, putting the Golden Sand Gang in an embarrassing position.
The correct approach should have been to discuss privately with Fan Tai, letting him clean up the house and ferret out the culprit.
This would minimize the impact, earn Fan Tai’s favor, and avoid taking revenge himself.
A triple win!
But Zhang Yuan wasn’t interested in prioritizing the bigger picture, didn’t care for Fan Tai’s favor, and wasn’t optimistic about the Golden Sand Gang’s prospects, so he preferred a quick and decisive cut.
Better to take it straight than to bend around.
A Martial Artist should be like this!
