88: Reversal

This old thing—he beat people up and now he won't even admit it.

Claiming it was an illusion?

That's just pure nonsense!

"Enough, leave. Go quickly before I change my mind, otherwise, I'll keep you here permanently," Wei Shen Senior said coldly.

Qing Wu heard these words.

Naturally, he was terrified; he had just been slapped twice in the face.

That scene was still vivid in his mind.

Qing Wu hurriedly stood up. "Senior Wei, is it really alright for me to do this?"

"Even if I leave, the Mu Family Sect Master will definitely come looking for me!"

"When that time comes, I'm afraid I'll still end up dead!"

Qing Wu was utterly helpless.

If he had any other way, he naturally wouldn't be like this.

"Rest assured, as long as you do as I say, nothing will happen to you." Wei Shen Senior held his head high, looking full of confidence.

Wei Shen Senior put on a very profound and mysterious air.

Qing Wu looked up at Wei Shen Senior and chose to believe him, nodding slightly.

"Yes, Senior Wei, I understand," Qing Wu responded.

And right at that moment...

General Yang looked up, a cold light bursting from his eyes.

This matter could not be left at that.

"This kid and this old thing really have some tricks!" General Yang's face was grim.

Suddenly, General Yang stood up, and following closely behind him was a line of soldiers.

The soldiers held Sharp Weapons, their gazes sharp and spirited.

It seemed they were prepared to take action.

"Qing Wu! These two killed the Young Lord, and you still want to stand with them?"

"If the Sect Master finds out about this, do you think you'll live?"

"What are you still standing there for!"

"Are you really going to let these two get away!"

General Yang roared. Although one of his arms was useless, he was still full of Battle Intent.

General Yang held his spear, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Soldiers, hear my command!"

"Support General Qing Wu!"

"Take the heads of these rebels!"

General Yang was using this method to force Qing Wu to act.

With the command given!

The soldiers all knelt down in a formal salute.

The soldiers said in unison, "Yes, General."

A few moments later...

The soldiers were already moving toward Qing Wu.

But at that moment...

Qing Wu was in a bind; he had already prepared to leave this place.

However, General Yang's maneuver...

...was exactly what put Qing Wu in a dilemma.

"Senior Wei, what do I do now?" Qing Wu was confused.

"If General Yang reports this, I'll definitely be in trouble."

"Senior Wei, you must save me."

Qing Wu turned his head, looking back in the direction General Yang was coming from.

At this moment, Qing Wu sucked in a breath of cold air, looking completely helpless.

"Don't worry, young man. You must keep a steady mindset," Wei Shen Senior chuckled.

"You absolutely cannot lose your composure."

Wei Shen Senior had a plan in mind.

Seeing Wei Shen Senior like this, Qing Wu gradually began to feel at ease.

Wei Shen Senior held his head high, facing the soldiers before him with a look of calm.

And right at that moment...

"Qing Wu, what are you still dazing for? Move!" General Yang roared.

"Someone, go and see what on earth Qing Wu is doing!"

General Yang was some distance away from Qing Wu and couldn't see clearly.

Qing Wu just stood there quietly, seemingly without any intention of moving.

General Yang found this very strange.

Logically speaking...

After Mu Haotian's death, Qing Wu should have gone on a rampage.

But now, Qing Wu was far too calm.

"Something's not right. Have two brothers go forward and check," General Yang said with a grim, serious expression.

"If there's anything unusual about Qing Wu, report back immediately!"

In truth, it wasn't that he was afraid of Qing Wu rebelling.

Rather, General Yang was worried that he wouldn't be able to use Qing Wu to kill Li Changfeng and this old man.

In the future, they would be no small threat to the Yang Family.

"I must eliminate these two scourges!"

General Yang clenched his fists tightly, a cold light bursting from his eyes.

One was the Young Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect.

The other was the Sect Master of the Wei Family.

Neither of these two could be allowed to remain!

They had to be killed!

"Soldiers, hear my command! Charge! Whoever can take their heads!"

"Will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!"

"And you won't have to serve in this duty anymore!"

The corner of General Yang's mouth curled into a smirk.

These words were meant to boost morale.

What General Yang was certain of...

...was that whoever dared to go up and fight today would lose their life here.

After all, these two were not to be trifled with!

"But, General Yang!" The soldiers were somewhat flustered; at this moment, not a single one was willing to step forward.

And right then...

Qing Wu slowly stood up.

"Listen up, all of you! The Young Lord was killed by General Yang! That dagger also belongs to General Yang!" Qing Wu turned around, a cold light flashing in his bright eyes.

"Whoever kills General Yang will be the benefactor of Mulan Manor!"

"Mulan Manor will treat you as honored guests!"

The corner of Qing Wu's mouth curled as he spoke the words Wei Shen Senior had told him.

Earlier, Qing Wu thought Wei Shen Senior was going to attack him, but in fact, Wei Shen Senior hadn't done that.

Wei Shen Senior had simply used a Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission technique to tell Qing Wu everything he wanted to say.

This way...

Outsiders naturally wouldn't hear Wei Shen Senior's words.

And the matter between Wei Shen Senior and Qing Wu could remain a secret.

"What!" Hearing this, the soldiers naturally couldn't believe it.

"How is that possible!"

"How could General Yang have killed the Young Lord!"

"No, there must be some mistake!"

The soldiers didn't believe it.

Just now, they had seen it with their own eyes.

After Mu Haotian was knocked to the ground by Wei Shen Senior, when he stood up again, he was covered in blood and already on his last legs.

But how could Mu Haotian have died at General Yang's hands!

The soldiers were stunned, not knowing what to do.

One was General Yang, the other was General Qing Wu!

They couldn't afford to offend either one!

Moreover, both of them held significant military power!

"General Yang, what on earth is going on!" A cold light burst from the soldiers' eyes.

"Qing Wu, stop talking nonsense! The Young Lord was killed by these two, what does it have to do with me!" General Yang roared.

General Yang was using this method to bolster his own courage!

However, doing so only proved one thing.

General Yang had a guilty conscience!

"You killed the Young Lord and framed Li Changfeng for it, so you could use me to kill Li Changfeng!" Qing Wu's mind was as clear as a mirror.

"General Yang, you certainly are calculating!"

"However, the fact that you killed the Young Lord is already a reality. Today, I will take your life!"

"And then return to Mulan Manor to report!"

A cold light burst from Qing Wu's eyes.

If it weren't for this General Yang...

Qing Wu wouldn't have been saddled with such a troublesome mess!

The root of all this was General Yang!
