Chapter 1201: Chapter 224: The Rules of a Hero? (Part 1)
Wang Anfeng gave him a deep look and nodded:
“Alright, go ahead.”
Tang Tongguang said, “Swear to the heavens.”
Wang Anfeng was silent for a mont, then nodded: “Alright.”
After he swore to the heavens, Tang Tongguang seed to relax a bit and retold the conversation he had with Wen Junchu earlier in much more detail, but he still appeared to be unclear about many aspects.
For instance, who exactly were the spies within the White Tiger Hall.
This was all within Wang Anfeng’s expectations; comparing it with the information he had, he could deduce more. anwhile, Yue Yue was already unsettled by these revelations, almost gasping several tis.
Many in the righteous path of the Western Regions are actually spies for the Heretic Sect?!
They had vaguely heard that the plan to unite everyone to besiege the Great Wilderness Stronghold was actually orchestrated by the stronghold themselves to eliminate dissidents and support their own spies?
This, this…
She was montarily speechless, feeling that her previous impressions of the Jianghu had drastically changed, becoming less enjoyable and free-spirited.
Wang Anfeng said, “So, in the information you disseminated, who is stationed at that location?”
Tang Tongguang hesitated for a mont, unable to withstand that indifferent gaze, and said:
“It is the leader who sits on the seventh chair in our Great Wilderness Stronghold, nad Double-Headed Flood Dragon, skilled with a pair of Bifurcated Swords, and he’s there with so brothers. If ordinary people co in a few days, we’ll give them so ‘fa’, but if valuable prey cos, we’ll eliminate them on the spot.”
“Double-Headed Flood Dragon?! Yu Guoxing?!”
Yue Yue couldn’t help but exclaim softly and then rembered sothing, saying:
“And your forces?”
Wen Junchu glanced at her and then at Wang Anfeng, replying: “The forces we brought are expendable. Jianghu people who obtain the heads and waist badges of these people can exchange them for rewards from the governnt office, and gain fa…”
“Having taken these benefits, on the sixth day of the sixth month, they’ll willingly participate in the ‘Great Wilderness Stronghold Siege’ at Xiuyun Northern Mountain, making the event much larger. If successful, it would beco a grand event in the Western Regions Jianghu for decades, fulfilling those lords’ wishes.”
Hearing this, Yue Yue murmured:
“And then, your spies will beco the backbone of the righteous path in this grand event?!”
A chill rose from within her heart.
Tang Tongguang looked at Wang Anfeng, licked his lips, and said: “We’ve told you everything we know. Can you keep your promise and let us go? We swear not to divulge today’s events, not to ntion if the stronghold knows what we’ve done, we’d be dead for sure.”
Yue Yue hesitated, thinking: “Though these two are wicked fiends, as soone on the righteous path, one should naturally keep promises. Otherwise, what’s the difference from those disloyal and unfaithful heretics? It’s a pity, but we have no choice but to let them go now.”
“This Hero must think the sa way…”
Wang Anfeng nodded slightly, putting down the knife in his hand, and only then did Tang Tongguang and his companion relax a little. But then they saw Wang Anfeng move his right hand, suddenly drawing the dagger from his waist. The Xue Family dagger, silent as a viper’s fangs, instantly swept across the throats of the two disguised bandit leaders without a mont’s hesitation.
This dagger was forged by the previous generation’s Ouyang, given to the Xue Family, and later passed through Xue Qinshuang’s hands to Wang Anfeng. Though not a Divine Weapon, its sharpness was unparalleled, a top-tier killing tool that left no bloodstains.
The two Great Wilderness Stronghold bandits, though skilled in Martial Arts, could not channel their Qi chanism, their flesh and blood nothing but frail before such a weapon.
The dagger silently returned to its sheath.
And the two mbers of the Great Wilderness had already fallen dead, eyes wide open. Yue Yue was montarily stunned, watching as Wang Anfeng turned and walked away. She instinctively took two steps forward, calling softly:
“Why, why did you kill them?!”
Wang Anfeng paused and said:
“Why, shouldn’t people of the Great Wilderness Stronghold be killed?”
Yue Yue shook her head repeatedly, saying: “No, no, such scum should naturally be killed swiftly.”
“But, you just promised them you wouldn’t kill.”
“As righteous heroes, we should naturally keep our word, besides, you swore to the heavens.”
Then she heard the person in front seem to chuckle, saying casually:
“The rules of righteous heroes are not my rules.”
“As for the heavens…”
“Heaven governs the seasons and weather, the rain, snow, wind, and frost.”
“But until now, heaven has never blocked my path.”
Yue Yue was slightly stunned by this, watching as the person went westward, knowing the city walls of West City were close by and the person was evidently leaving the city. A soft voice ca, saying:
“You’ve probably already been targeted by the Great Wilderness Stronghold.”
“Go back to your elders, rember to leave this area; it’s not safe around here.”
The voice paused slightly, then seed to turn gentler, less sharp, or perhaps it was just an illusion.
“Your character is not suited for Jianghu.”
The girl instinctively asked: “Where are you going?”
“To kill.”
The voice ca, but the person had already vanished, and Yue Yue just saw a figure directly leap over the city wall.
Feeling everything today was a blur, not a single thing making sense, she couldn’t help but feel frustrated, glancing at the two dead bodies beside her, thinking how she might have been seen by many chasing out just now.
