Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1287: Chapter 1286 Fake Wound

Su Yang couldn’t help feeling speechless as he listened from the sidelines. Damn, am I that invisible? Couldn’t these people specifically be here to deal with me?

Drunken Monk and Lü Donglin seemed utterly oblivious to Su Yang’s feelings. Drunken Monk belched and waved his hand, ”Didn’t the sky battle just end...”

”So what?” Lü Donglin asked curiously.

”The Ten Great Sects hardly helped Qinghe Academy this time,” Drunken Monk said. ”Therefore, the battle was rather tough for Qinghe Academy. Although they won, it was a narrow victory. Coincidentally, the Ten Great Sects were coming to Qinghe Academy to take people away, and some were harboring ulterior motives and wanted to have a look. Not to mention the Jade-Faced Judge, on my way here, I even encountered three groups of Japanese pirates. I guess Capital City will have some chaos for a time!”

”So that’s the situation!” Lü Donglin sighed softly. ”Does that mean the Jade-Faced Judge is also eyeing Capital City?”

”Who knows!” Drunken Monk pursed his lips. ”Since my master knew that Black and White Impermanence brought out the Hell Ghost Soldiers, he had me follow them to see what they were up to. I’ll be staying in Capital City these few days. Lü Donglin, you need to arrange a place for me to stay!”

”That’s no big deal; just stay here!” Lü Donglin said.

”Then I won’t be polite.” Drunken Monk leaned casually on the sofa, not looking at all like a monk.

Listening from the side, Su Yang was dumbstruck and couldn’t help asking, ”What exactly are you two talking about? What is this sky battle?”

Previously, Su Yang had also heard Wan Xiong Lian and Huo Yuanzhen talk about the sky battle, but he had no idea what it really was. Now, these two bringing it up made Su Yang even more puzzled.

”You don’t know about the sky battle?” Lü Donglin was also surprised.

Su Yang shrugged; of course, he didn’t.

”Didn’t Wan Xiong Lian and Sword Saint Ye tell you?” Lü Donglin was astonished.

”No!” Su Yang said. ”They mentioned the sky battle, but they never told me exactly what it was.”

Lü Donglin and Drunken Monk exchanged glances, Lü Donglin shook his head, ”Maybe it’s better you don’t know.”

”What do you mean?” Su Yang glared. ”Just tell me, what exactly is this sky battle?”

”Since Wan Xiong Lian and Sword Saint Ye didn’t tell you, then I shouldn’t overstep,” Lü Donglin smiled and shook his head. ”These matters are still far off for you; telling you would only cause unnecessary worry.”

”...” Su Yang was speechless. ”It’s okay, I’m not afraid of worrying. Just tell me whatever it is!”

”Forget it,” Drunken Monk shook his head. ”These are things better not spoken of. Not knowing is for the best. You shouldn’t get involved. The more you know, the more restrictions you’ll face, which isn’t suitable.”

”The monk is right!” Lü Donglin nodded. ”Su Yang, you better handle your own affairs first. You’re almost done with your business in Capital City; once you’re done here, just go back. Looks like Capital City really will be chaotic for a while!”

Su Yang had a helpless expression; he realized these two would not tell him what was happening. Su Yang didn’t ask further; indeed, there was little point in asking.

”My business isn’t finished yet!” Su Yang shook his head. ”Xiao Hei and Jiang Zier have not been found yet; I need to find them before I leave.”

Speaking of Xiao Hei more so worried him.

He had thought that after confronting the Chen Family, the Chen Family would use Xiao Hei as leverage against him. However, the Chen Family never did such a thing. Even more, the Chen Family didn’t know the whereabouts of Xiao Hei at all, confirming that Xiao Hei was definitely not with the Chen Family.

But if Xiao Hei wasn’t with the Chen Family, then where was he now?

...

One hour after Su Yang and the group left Beishan Forest, Zi Nu took advantage of the night and quietly arrived outside Beishan Forest.

Zi Nu observed the area for a while, frowning slightly at the sight of dead bodies on the ground. Then, she wandered around, as if searching for something.

After spending more than half an hour, Zi Nu had almost combed through the vicinity and finally found a concealed body three kilometers behind Beishan Forest in a secluded spot.

Zi Nu bent down and scrutinized the body carefully, turning it over several times, eventually finding a fatal wound on the body.

Zi Nu frowned; she took a photo of the body and another of the wound, then quickly left.

Returning to Black Widow’s manor, Zi Nu immediately went to Black Widow’s room.

”Master, I’m back!”

”How was it?” Black Widow’s voice came from inside the room.

”You were right, Su Yang really did win!” Zi Nu spoke in a low voice.

”What about the investigation I asked you to conduct?” Black Widow spoke calmly, not in the least bit surprised as if everything was within expectations.

”I found it...” Zi Nu whispered. ”Three kilometers behind that forest, someone was killed. However, the wound is a bit odd, not like... not like what a disciple of the Martial Champion would do, but more like someone from the Jade-Faced Judge’s side!”

”Hmm?” Black Widow was somewhat surprised.

”I took photos, do you want to see them?” Zi Nu offered.

”Bring them here.” Black Widow said.

Zi Nu quickly bent down and walked into the room, respectfully handing over the mobile phone to Black Widow.

Black Widow was still sitting on the balcony, she took a glance at the mobile phone, her eyebrows slightly furrowing, seemingly surprised.

”Master, from the look of the wound, it doesn’t seem to be Young Master Qi’s doing,” Zi Nu whispered. ”Could he have encountered Black and White Impermanence’s people first? After all, this person had some grievances with the Jade-Faced Judge.”

”No.” Black Widow stated decisively.

”Ah?” Zi Nu was stunned; even in this situation, still no?

”It was Old Zhang the Eighth who came back!” Black Widow slowly said. ”This person can mimic the unique skills of many families, including the secret techniques of the Jade-Faced Judge. Making such a wound is not at all difficult.”

Zi Nu was confused, speaking softly, ”So, does this mean both Old Zhang the Seventh and Old Zhang the Eighth got involved, just to save Zhao Dongming? Is Zhao Dongming that important?”

Black Widow shook her head. ”Zhao Dongming is merely a tool used by the Martial Champion to infiltrate the Zhao Family and isn’t that important; however, he isn’t supposed to die this early. In fact, saving Zhao Dongming is simple, the key is how to lure us into the trap!”

”Us?” Zi Nu was astonished. ”They want to lure us into the trap? Why? How... how are they planning to lure us?”
