Chapter 471 - No Bottom Line

Qian Bei finally understood and regained his composure."Good! I will go to ask for support. You just hold off Li Cungu! If you can stop Li Cungu from continuing her insane rampage, our Foolish Underworld will count this as a merit for you."

Yu Wenwuji shook his head slightly.

"Merits don’t matter to me, all I want is to survive. Engaged by that woman, all of us from the Black Tiger Gang will no longer find it easy to save our own lives."

"Don’t worry, no matter how strong Li Cungu is, she’s not the match for Yangshen Hall! You just sit tight and wait for backup!"

"That being the case, I’ll have to trouble you, Sir. By the way, our next destination is headed to..."

Yu Wenwuji was one of the first to side with Li Cungu, so he gained enough trust to be privy to her approximate plans, or at least he was clear about which martial arts schools and factions were targeted.

At this moment, he did not hold back, telling Qian Bei directly.

"Great, knowing her general direction of movement helps a lot. I’ll make a move first, and you deal with that crazy woman."

"Mm!"

Qian Bei left quickly.

Yu Wenwuji then looked towards the room next to him. A few seconds later, an unrecognizable mutilated corpse was left in place.

And he had already leapt up, returning to the Liuyun Martial Arts Hall.

There, the Yangshen Hall patroller who had just been ready to fiercely kill Li Cungu in revenge for his colleagues, was now a corpse.

"What took you so long?"

Li Cungu glanced over.

"You’re overestimating me... That was a patroller from Yangshen Hall."

That was also true.

Li Cungu retracted her gaze.

"Let’s set off, we’ll try to get everything settled before sunset."

"Yes!"

The crowd set out in force, but unusually, Li Cungu fell behind the group, watching Yu Wenwuji’s retreating back, before she whispered a few words to a Li Family disciple next to her.

The Li Family disciple departed and soon returned.

"He’s dead."

He reported.

Li Cungu nodded slightly, took a few large steps to catch up with the group, walked past Yu Wenwuji, and moved to the very front of the line.

Yu Wenwuji kept his composure on the surface, but he clearly understood that he could not stay in this team any longer.

"Boss, we’ve killed the patroller from Yangshen Hall, that’s a big problem! Now we have no choice but to follow Li Cungu to the end. She’s making us show our loyalty, it’s a trap!"

Even Wu Junshi, who was usually slow to catch on, now understood Li Cungu’s actions; they were completely unbridled, far too crazy and without limits.

"Calm down, just follow my orders."

Yu Wenwuji, calming down Wu Junshi’s emotions, narrowed his eyes at Li Cungu who was leading the way.

For a moment, he actually couldn’t figure out whether Li Cungu was truly insane or if she had a plan behind her madness.

Meanwhile, the second martial arts hall on the route, Village Scythe Martial Arts Hall, was already in sight.

As Li Cungu’s large force arrived at Village Scythe Martial Arts Hall, Qian Bei, who had been fleeing, was directly rushing towards Yangshen Hall.

And it was on this halfway there, he suddenly saw something and abruptly stopped.

"Madam! Madam Zhuo Xueer!!"

Yes! He had unexpectedly run into Zhuo Xueer and her entourage, who happened to be on their way.

Beside Zhuo Xueer was Liu Ningran, a new disciple who had just joined Yangshen Hall two months ago, whom Qian Bei had seen a few times.

As for the other youth, he was quite unfamiliar, a new face.

It seems Madam Zhuo Xueer had mentioned that today she was bringing a very promising new member to meet everyone.

But now was not the time to consider such things.

Seeing Zhuo Xueer and her two companions pull on the reins and stop their horses, all turning to look back at himself, Qian Bei hurried over.

"Qian Bei? What are you doing here alone? Where are Zhan Qiu and Wang Chen? And the injuries on you are..."

Upon hearing these questions, Qian Bei immediately started to cry.

But how much of the tears were real and how much were fake was uncertain.

"It was Li Cungu! She, she killed Zhan Qiu and Wang Chen! Even I almost died at her hands!"

What?!

Zhuo Xueer’s face changed dramatically.

Just a mere Li Cungu, daring to kill people from Yangshen Hall!!

Anger flared in Zhuo Xueer’s eyes.

Li Shidao bullying me was already enough, what gives you, Li Cungu, the right!!

Did she really think Zhuo Xueer was made of mud, to be manipulated and trampled upon by Li Family without striking back??

Liu Ningran beside her also had her eyes wide open, seemingly receiving a huge shock.

Having just entered Yangshen Hall and became a team member under Zhuo Xueer, she had interacted with Qian Bei’s trio.

She even sparred once with them, a sort of newcomer’s rite of passage.

Of course, she was soundly defeated.

So in Liu Ningran’s eyes, Qian Bei and his two companions had enormous strength, invincible.

But unexpectedly, they were suddenly dead???

How terrifying must Li Cungu’s strength be?

She dared not think about it, even felt hesitant, unsure whether she should continue following Zhuo Xueer to pursue Li Cungu.

Among the trio, only Fang Yu remained composed.

Or rather, he showed little reaction.

No choice, he didn’t know them, unaware of their strength.

Just blabbering that someone died...

Scratching my head.

What’s the meaning, to have died before the battle begins?

Fang Yu glanced at Zhuo Xueer, hmmm... seems like she has no intention to back down, inflamed with rage instead.

Alright, just bring it on!

I am invincible now!!

Stealthily looking towards Qian Bei.

Tsk tsk, 800 health points.

Dude, you’re not up to it, you can’t handle it, step back, let me do it!

What Li Family lass? Watch me take care of it!

"Where did the Li Family lass go now? Still at Liuyun Martial Arts Hall?"

Both of her men had been killed, and now Zhuo Xueer’s rage meter is full.

Qian Bei hurriedly bowed down, offering up his intelligence.

"... Great! Let’s set out!"

"Madam Zhuo Xueer, they are numerous and powerful, plus I’m gravely injured and can’t fight anymore, shall I go back and call for reinforcements?"

"...Fine, I’ll leave a group of horses for you."

Zhuo Xueer’s gaze shifted between Fang Yu and Liu Ningran, and then she pointed at Fang Yu.

"Diao Deyi, give him your horse, come sit with me."

"Ah..."

Fang Yu was somewhat frustrated, why couldn’t it be Liu Ningran giving up the horse to him.

But since Zhuo Xueer had spoken, he dismounted and jumped onto the horse that Zhuo Xueer was riding.

The next instant.

"Giddy up!!"

Zhuo Xueer started riding, and Fang Yu instinctively wrapped his arms forward, hugging tight her slender waist.

So soft!

This was followed by the bumpy experience of horseback riding, making him throw those soft and fragrant thoughts to the back of his mind.

"Madam Zhuo Xueer, slow, slow down!!"

Fang Yu shouted, but Zhuo Xueer did not decrease her speed.

Behind them Liu Ningran followed on horseback, while Qian Bei rode towards the Foolish Underworld, parting ways with everyone.

The trio headed towards the Village Scythe Martial Arts Hall.

But upon arrival, what they found... was just a scene full of corpses and a broken hall plaque split in two!

This was the first time Fang Yu and his companions had seen the bloody scene caused by the Li Family lass.

Zhuo Xueer’s face suddenly grew gloomy.

"She’s completely lost her mind, wreaking such havoc!"

Liu Ningran sighed.

"Judging from what Qian Bei said earlier, it seems the Liuyun Martial Arts Hall suffered nearly the same hellish fate."

Fang Yu looked around and indeed didn’t see any survivors, not even a single health bar.

It seems the Li Family lass has thoroughly wiped out her targets.

"Should we really not go back and ask for reinforcements?"

Liu Ningran’s voice was now hesitant.

But Zhuo Xueer was very determined.

"According to Qian Bei’s information, the Li Family lass’ next stop is ! We can’t delay, let’s go immediately and catch up with them!"

Zhuo Xueer thought about the route for a moment before continuing.

"We remember there’s a shortcut nearby that leads straight to ! Everybody keep up!"

Giddy up!

As her words fell, she had already taken the lead and left.

Fang Yu was on her horse’s back, naturally, he was taken along.

Liu Ningran let out a frustrated sigh and followed.

Bypassing several complicated routes, with impressive horsemanship, they galloped through the streets and alleys.

Finally, along with Zhuo Xueer’s sharp pull on the reins, the two stopped at the entrance of .

The hall plaque bearing the four characters of had also fallen to the ground, split in two.

Inside the hall, fires blazed, with pitiful screams echoing throughout.

"We’ve caught up..." Liu Ningran said with an uneasy expression.

"They’re still inside!" Liu Ningran noticed something and shouted.

Jumping off their horses, Zhuo Xueer was the first to step into the hall.

Fang Yu followed closely behind.

He looked rather silly.

Seemingly unaware of his whereabouts, not knowing what to do, all he knew was that he was about to initiate a massacre.

Liu Ningran behind him remained silent, quietly following.

Zhuo Xueer led the charge, and even though Liu Ningran was hesitant inside, feeling the battle would be tough, he couldn’t back down, or he could forget about working under Zhuo Xueer in the future.

Still, his heart was heavy with worry, feeling pessimistic about the outcome of the battle.
