Chapter 120: Chapter 108: Mystifying and Puzzling
Huaining Hall.
Ao Daguang and Jia Zhangle stood solemnly in the first-floor hall.
"I heard that last night, the Feiyun Gang’s base caught fire, burning a large area. The losses were severe."
"Also, Sun Guangchun, Duan Yu, and other gang leaders have yet to appear after such a disgraceful incident."
"Hahaha, it’s better if they’re dead. That way, it’s easier to deal with. It might even be another Lotus Gang situation."
The crowd below kept discussing. Although they seemed to take pleasure in others’ misfortune, many were secretly delighted.
"It’s good if they all died in the fight. They might profit handsomely from the Feiyun Gang’s problems."
The crowd was buzzing with chatter.
"Brother Lin hasn’t checked in yet. Perhaps he has met with an untimely death."
In the Ding Banner, Han Zhong remained silent. He sighed heavily, and without seeing that tall figure, he felt a deep sorrow.
The crowd whispered among themselves, discussing yesterday’s gains.
Lin Yuan quietly appeared at the hall entrance, immediately drawing most people’s attention.
"Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan is here. He actually survived." The Yi Banner’s small banner was curious.
"Wow. This guy managed to escape with his life. Strange, truly strange."
"Hmm? With all the chaos yesterday, who knows what Lin Yuan did? Could he have gone home to his wife and hid for a day?" Other small banners continued to speculate.
As Lin Yuan joined the group, the noise gradually subsided. After all, Lin Yuan was incredibly imposing, and others did not dare to gossip in his presence.
Yesterday morning, the palm marks on the faces of those two from the Ding Banner were still visible.
"Brother Lin." Han Zhong’s eyes were filled with excitement. Seeing Lin Yuan arrive, he called out softly.
Lin Yuan nodded lightly, without speaking.
Han Zhong naturally understood this was not a good time for conversation. He took a deep breath and quietly stood behind Lin Yuan.
At the moment, Xu Yang and Yue Zhenhan were still absent. Ao Daguang and Jia Zhangle said nothing, waiting quietly.
About an hour later, Jia Zhangle couldn’t wait any longer and ordered, "Someone, go invite Hall Master Xu, Hall Master Yue, and Wang Wei to come."
"Yes." Three members from the Jia Banner bowed and quickly rushed out.
After the time it takes to burn an incense stick.
"Hall Master." Two people entered in a hurry, their expressions flustered.
Seeing Ao Daguang’s reaction, their hearts sank.
"Speak." Jia Zhangle snorted coldly.
"Hall Master Xu did not return last night and his whereabouts are unknown." Their faces were grave.
"The same with Hall Master Yue."
"Wang Small Banner also has the same situation after going to the pier yesterday." The other two bowed and reported one after another.
Ao Daguang’s face turned extremely dark. The news instantly wiped out half of the joy from yesterday’s gains.
"Search! Dig up the entire pier if you have to. Find them, dead or alive." Ao Daguang’s face twitched as he spoke angrily.
Yue Zhenhan was less important, his life or death didn’t matter to him. But Xu Yang was his right-hand man, managing many tasks in the middle.
Losing Xu Yang was a heavy blow to him.
"Furthermore, summon Shen Shimu and Sun Guangchun to my Huaining Hall." Ao Daguang shouted angrily, filled with frustration.
Right now, he had no mind to deal with Lin Yuan’s matter. The urgent issue was finding Xu Yang.
"Yes," everyone responded in unison and then filed out.
About an hour later.
"Ao Zhenjiang." Shen Shimu, with a glowing face, stepped into the fourth-floor loft.
But as soon as he entered the room, he saw Ao Daguang glaring darkly at him.
"Lord Ao, what is this?" Shen Shimu immediately restrained his smile and said in a deep voice.
"Shen Shimu, did you kill Xu Yang last night?" Ao Daguang’s voice was icy, his eyes fixed on Shen Shimu, not missing even the slightest expression.
"Lord Ao!" Shen Shimu was stunned, then quickly said, "I wouldn’t dare commit such a grave disaster."
"Why not!" Ao Daguang snorted coldly.
Seeing Shen Shimu’s reaction, it was clear he was unaware. Eliminating the possibility of him pretending, Xu Yang’s disappearance had nothing to do with him.
"Lord Ao, what is going on?" Shen Shimu frowned, puzzled, "Last night, the Feiyun Gang caught fire, Sun Guangchun and others disappeared, it’s truly baffling."
Just as Shen Shimu finished speaking, Jia Zhangle rushed upstairs.
"Hall Master. Sun Guangchun and other leaders of the Lotus Gang have all disappeared. We’ve checked all the important passages, and no one has been seen." Jia Zhangle’s face was filled with confusion.
"Leaving such a large gang unattended, where could they have gone?" Hearing this, Shen Shimu’s heart was shaken.
His eyes glanced at Ao Daguang, but seeing that he showed no sign, he had to remain silent.
Ao Daguang was thrown into chaos by these unexpected events, messing up all his plans and leaving him troubled.
Several people at the Huai River Pier, all of them highly skilled, had disappeared without a trace.
Just like that, without a sound!
"Could someone have set their sights on the Huai River Pier?" The three exchanged a glance and their hearts grew wary.
If they could kill Xu Yang and Sun Guangchun, then naturally, they could also kill the three of them.
"Report to the Hall Master, Hall Master Yue’s body has been found at Cheng Xiongjia’s estate." The person reporting was Yi Shu from the Jia Banner.
Upon hearing the news, his heart was filled with unease. He felt a terrifying shadow looming over the Huai River Pier, making him uneasy.
"Let’s all go and take a look." Ao Daguang’s face was as black as coal, and his voice was hoarse.
Several individuals hurried to the location and arrived after two incense durations.
"Lord Ao, why would Yue Zhenhan and Cheng Xiongjia fight here? I really can’t guess." Shen Shimu carefully observed and immediately realized the situation was beyond their control, "Yue Zhenhan died by sword intent, a masterful skill neither you nor I can contend with."
Ao Daguang also couldn’t understand and finally arranged for all the bodies to be buried.
"Report to the academy; these incidents are indeed suspicious."
Ao Daguang sighed.
***********
In a certain mountain robbers’ stronghold.
Inside the Gathering Justice Hall, nearly dozens of people sat in the hall.
An elder with white eyebrows sat at the head, noticing the third chair from the left was empty, his brow furrowed.
"Elder Fu went yesterday, according to the plan, he should return today, but now there is neither a shadow of him nor any message."
The white-browed elder pondered for a moment, realizing that only the Fifth Elder had some free time. He looked at a robust middle-aged man about forty at his side.
That man’s left face, marked with a green scar, looked like a headless demon, quite terrifying.
"Fifth Elder, you personally take a trip to see how the Feiyun Gang’s situation is progressing." The white-browed elder said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Alliance Hierarch." Xue Ai’s voice was deep.
"Do not easily resort to killing; the Feiyun Gang still has great value to us. It’s not the time to start a war with the academy." The white-browed elder said in a deep voice.
"I naturally understand."
Xue Ai nodded in agreement, but his eyes glowed fiercely; he just loved killing.
*************
In the southeast direction of Yanghua Town, there was a very large estate.
Ao Daguang hurried forward, followed by attendants, heading for the central courtyard of the estate.
"You suspect that the disappearance of Yue Zhenhan, Xu Yang, and others is related to external bandits?" A middle-aged man stood next to the veranda railings, speaking faintly.
He held a purple sandalwood bowl, picking up fish food and tossing it into the pond, attracting several large, colorful koi to fight for it.
This person was the Family Head of the Hong family, Hong Weiqing.
"Indeed, I suspect so. Otherwise, it’s the work of the Pei family." Ao Daguang said, "Yue Zhenhan died at the hands of a sword master, it could very well be from Pei Suxian’s lineage."
Hong Weiqing nodded slightly, "I understand. You should maintain control over the pier’s situation. The disappearance of the Feiyun Gang clears the obstacles. You must control all the pier shipping."
"Yes." Ao Daguang bowed and withdrew.
Once again, Hong Weiqing picked up a handful of fish food and scattered it into the pond.
"Hou Sixian has been busy reorganizing the Pei family these past two days, unable to spare any effort." Hong Weiqing pondered, wondering who in the Pei family could possess such strength.
But only Xu Yang and Yue Zhenhan were killed, leaving Ao Daguang unharmed. The Qingzhu Gang made no move either.
After about half the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Hong Weiqing softly instructed.
"Have Bang Zhao investigate secretly, and send Elder Chang Weibao to oversee the situation."
"The pier, it must not descend into chaos!"
"Yes, Family Head."
A shadow behind the rockery responded respectfully.
