Chapter 2158: Cooperation (2)

”Yep, that’s me. You should be grateful for that, no? I got rid of one of the traitors in the Murim Alliance,” Tang Shaoyang winked his right eye at the Alliance Leader Zhong, ”I will maybe share some of the Heaven Founder’s secret if you cooperate with me.”

Zhong Tian Yun was surprised and tempted when he heard information about the Heaven Founder. The Heaven Founder was an issue, but he also had a responsibility to those who died in the Dragon and Phoenix Tournament.

”Did you also kill the people from the major factions along with their younger generations who participated in the tournament?”

”Maybe...” Tang Shaoyang honestly didn’t remember everything. But he did remember that he killed the people who attacked him, ”Ah, yes, maybe I killed those fools. But I didn’t have the intention to kill them; it was they who came to me.”

”Fools!? You killed them, now you have the nerve to insult them too?” Zhong Tian Yun became agitated, hearing the nonchalant response and casual insult from Tang Shaoyang’s mouth.

Tang Shaoyang shrugged, ”The city was attacked by the Heaven Founder, and their first response was to surround me instead of securing their young masters’ safety. They didn’t even try to fight the Heaven Founder.”

He chuckled as he recalled what happened and why he killed them, ”If they are not a fool, then what are they? The Heaven Founder was killing the innocent wildly, yet they came for me, just sitting in the arena?”

”Isn’t it because your group is suspicious!?”

”I guess you are right, but my people are fighting the Heaven Founder’s people. In fact, it was my people who killed those Heaven Founder’s people, including their Supreme Guardian and Guardian. I am suspicious, but they could see we shared the same enemies, yet they still came for me?”

”Don’t believe it? Why don’t you ask that one group who survives?” Tang Shaoyang observed Zhong Tian Yun’s face. He remembered that he spared one group. He kicked their young master, and the group flocked around their young master. They were safe because they were separated from the main group.

”It’s the Nangong Family. You spare the group from the Nangong Family!” Ouyang Biya completed the story.

”They should be able to tell you whether we are telling the truth or not, Alliance Leader Zhong. But of course, the prideful Nangong Family will not disclose their stupidity to you, let alone the world. You need to press them if you want the truth to come out of their mouth.” She added in the end.

The story matched, but the Nangong Family’s story was incomplete. As the woman said, the Nangong Family would not disclose such disgraceful details. That was why they didn’t tell him the details about the culprit who killed the people from the Major Factions.

Zhong Tian Yun genuinely believed Tang Shaoyang’s story to be the truth. Of course, he would not acknowledge it.

”You mentioned a cooperation. Does that mean you are on our side?” He changed the topic and pretended to overlook the matter for now.

”Neither. I don’t care about your fight with the Heaven Founder. It’s just one of my targets to be part of the Heaven Founder now.”

Zhong Tian Yun furrowed his brow, then he turned toward Yan Xueyi, realizing what happened. He finally realized why Yan Xueyi came to Tang Shaoyang and joined the Thousand Vows Pavilion. She wanted to avenge her master using Tang Shaoyang. He finally understood why Yan Xueyi was looking for Tang Shaoyang.

”And your target is the outsider who killed my friend?”

”You have a sharp mind, Alliance Leader Zhong,” Tang Shaoyang nodded, ”I certainly can’t ignore the plea of the Thousand Vows Pavilion’s disciple. I will kill that outsider, and you can have the rest of the Heaven Founder.”

Zhong Tian Yun was still surprised after confirming it directly from Tang Shaoyang’s mouth. He had guessed it, but the truth hit him harder. Yan Xueyi came to Tang Shaoyang, a stranger, instead of coming to him.

”And don’t misunderstand me, Alliance Leader Zhong. That’s not the cooperation part.”

Tang Shaoyang didn’t explain further what the cooperation meant, glancing toward the two Great Sects. That was him showing them that he didn’t trust Shaolin and Kunlun.

”It’s not too late to talk it out later. Why don’t you meet your niece and have a talk with her while you can?”

At this moment, Tang Shaoyang pulled off his Chaos Blades. Those blades restricted everyone’s movement in the reception hall. The moment those blades disappeared, a certain person became lively again, seeming to forget what just happened.

”What are you doing, uncle!? We can’t let him take Yan Xueyi! They just want my master’s technique! We can’t let them obtain it! WE MUST PROTECT MASTER’S LEGACY!”

Han Lingxiao was truly fearless, or maybe stupid, which was matched with Tang Shaoyang’s assessment about the people from the Sacred Realm. Or maybe this fool had a chicken memory that made him forget right away what just happened.

”They also just killed the four great families! How can you let them be!? YOU MUST KILL THEM!”

Han Lingxiao’s handsome face turned unsightly, his eyes wide with red lines, saliva splashed around as he rattled, and his finger was pointing at Yan Xueyi instead of Tang Shaoyang. That last part might be the ”smartest” move from his side.

Tang Shaoyang completely ignored the Spear God’s first disciple, turning toward Yan Xueyi, winking his right eye at her, ”Don’t worry. I will not kill him for your sake. The worst is that I will just give him some trauma so he doesn’t run his mouth loosely anymore. That might be the life lesson your brother needs right now since your master could no longer protect him.”

Zhong Tian Yun massaged the space between his eyes. He appeared in front of Han Lingxiao and knocked the young man out. That was for the best instead of continuously provoking Tang Shaoyang.

”Let’s talk somewhere else, and you don’t need to worry about Shaolin and Kunlun. You can trust them just like you trust me.”
