Chapter 843 - 841: The Plot Rises Again
"Yeah, I thought the same, this guy is just fooling people. If we’d known, the three of us would’ve attacked together. That way, his two fists couldn’t have handled three legs," Shi Xiaohong slapped his thigh and exclaimed.
"...."
Mo Chou looked at the three of them shirking responsibility, feeling a strong contempt in his heart. If you can’t win, then you can’t win. Enough with the excuses.
"Everyone, calm down. After we recover from our injuries, let’s find that brat Chen Tianlong to settle scores. We’ll all go at him together then, see how he responds," Mo Chou disliked Shi Xiaohong, but after all, he was a master from the Celestial Pill Sect, and he needed to associate with him.
The group nodded, returned to their rooms, took a Small Rejuvenation Pill, and began Qi Cultivation to heal.
South Sea No.1 Middle School.
After the fight this morning, Chen Tianlong already sensed danger looming again. If what Yang Xinru said was true, the Celestial Pill Sect really is a troublesome problem. They turned out to be the Mo Family’s biggest backers, no wonder the Mo Family had been trying to capture his sister Mo Jing all along; they were actually helping the Celestial Pill Sect complete a mission.
Chen Tianlong wondered, why would a business family capture Mo Jing, who has an Alchemy Furnace Body? They don’t even have an Alchemy Master.
Now he finally understood.
Thinking about it, Chen Tianlong became a bit worried. Although his master Fang Yan was very strong, if the Celestial Pill Sect really has experts everywhere and sends even more powerful foes, it’s unlikely even Tianshu Manor could withstand them.
"Chen Tianlong, do you think those people are trying to capture Mo Jing?" After class, Wu Mengting saw Chen Tianlong zoning out, seemingly worried about something, with furrowed brows.
Chen Tianlong looked up to see Wu Mengting smiling at him slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief, nodding.
"Won’t Mo Jing be in danger? Shouldn’t you call the head of those looking after Mo Jing and warn them to be cautious, to prevent any mishaps?" Wu Mengting suggested.
Hearing this, Chen Tianlong thought it made a lot of sense, he grinned and said, "Got it, thanks, Mengting. But you don’t need to worry too much, I trust the people looking after Mo Jing."
Wu Mengting nodded.
South Sea City Harbor.
A man in a black suit, followed by two underlings, stepped off a cruise ship from Black Alliance City. This man was unfamiliar to many, but he should not be unfamiliar to Chen Tianlong.
This man was Wu Chi, the fourth leader of the Black Alliance.
After Chen Tianlong left that day, the guy with the kid finally woke up and immediately informed Black Alliance headquarters. Wu Chi knew the perpetrator was definitely Chen Tianlong, but he had already escaped.
The Red-eyed Eagle ordered that since the person was gone, he’s no longer an issue. After all, it is Huaxia.
But Wu Chi was not satisfied, covertly mentioning finding the Jade Pendant, yet his real motive was another – to find Chen Tianlong and avenge his brothers. His Cold Ice Fist had reached the fifth form, and he wanted to test it.
"Chen Tianlong, just wait for your death!" Wu Chi looked at this unfamiliar city, a surge of menace arose within, then he strode forth and hailed a taxi.
The Black Alliance’s main stronghold in South Sea was at the Xu Family, so the gang swiftly headed there. They needed to quickly learn about the situation in South Sea City and collect information on Chen Tianlong.
Soon, Wu Chi understood everything about Chen Tianlong and unintentionally found out the whereabouts of the Jade Pendant.
"Elder Xu, are you certain the Red Widow is hiding at South Sea No.1 Middle School?" Wu Chi asked with some surprise.
"Yes, I’ve had it investigated; the Red Widow was rescued by Chen Tianlong from Capital City. According to the Chu Family, Chen Tianlong once worked with the Red Widow to rescue his sister Mo Jing. If this is true, then considering Chen Tianlong’s character, he’s likely arranged for the Red Widow to stay at the school, since being by his side is the safest," Xu Kan explained.
"And then?" Wu Chi felt Xu Kan had more to say.
"Haha, then I had Fei’Er personally check it out, discovering that Chen Tianlong recently brought back three people. According to the Chu Family’s intel, aligned with the timeline, one is named Ouyang Meijia, another is Jiang Yufan, both are suspicious, and the last is Liu Ting. As for Ouyang Meijia, she’s the daughter of the Ouyang Family, likely not the Red Widow, so the remaining suspects are Jiang Yufan and Liu Ting," Xu Kan analyzed.
"Oh, you said all that just to give me this answer? Your Xu Family can’t even handle this small matter? Shame on the Black Alliance for valuing you so much," Wu Chi suddenly stiffened, speaking in a discontented tone.
"You..."
Xu Fei was somewhat displeased, this guy was arrogant due to his position in the Black Alliance; you should know this is South Sea City, their territory, how could he be so presumptuous.
"Fei’Er, please return to your room to rest. I need to chat with Master Wu for a bit longer," Xu Kan was taken aback, this man was formidable, even he wasn’t a match, let alone Xu Fei.
"Elder Xu, he..."
"Didn’t you hear me tell you to go back?" Xu Kan suddenly roared, scaring Xu Fei so much he almost panicked.
Xu Fei held his breath, turned, and left.
"Haha, that young man has quite the temper, seems a bit defiant towards me, huh?" Once Xu Fei left, Wu Chi chuckled, his emotions unreadable.
"Please forgive him, Master Wu. Young people are ignorant and hot-tempered, don’t mind him, let’s continue our chat," Xu Kan hastily explained.
Wu Chi nodded; he didn’t have time for frivolous nonsense with youngsters. Since he learned the whereabouts of the Jade Pendant, he might as well accomplish a major task, possibly leading to a promotion.
And so, after a short conversation, they basically had a complete plan ready to proceed...
On campus, Jiang Yufan was feeling down, walking alone along the main path, thinking about many things. Suddenly, she noticed a shadow flashing nearby, quickly heading towards the north gate of the campus.
Despite her lack of strength, Jiang Yufan had skill in minor techniques. Seeing a strange figure in black on campus was intriguing, so she followed.
Curiously, the person in black didn’t steal or hurt anyone; he just kept running towards the north back gate. Originally, Jiang Yufan didn’t plan to pursue, yet since she had come this far, she decided to see it through.
Finally, as she reached the north gate area, the person vanished.
This was the back gate, usually seldom approached, and the road outside the north gate was under construction, abandoned for quite some time. It was early evening now, pitch black, nothing visible.
Jiang Yufan realized the darkness ahead seemed daunting, hesitating to move closer, she turned to leave.
Then suddenly, she felt someone approaching, quickly turned around, and sure enough, the figure in black appeared, moving swiftly before she could deploy her killer move, she was struck unconscious by a hand chop.
When Jiang Yufan awoke again, she found herself lying in an unfamiliar room. Intuitively, she checked herself, relieved to find her clothes intact.
She was, after all, a virgin maiden; if she were to be sullied, she’d really be ashamed to face Chen Tianlong. Though their relationship was merely an agreement, to Jiang Yufan it was real.
