Chapter 1398 Though living in the martial world, my mother dislikes fighting and killing.
"He hasn't disguised himself, so this must be Alliance Leader Yan." Shen Miao hadn't even had time to hide the surprise on her face. This was definitely the most unbelievable thing she had ever encountered in all her years of life.
Yan Hangshu, the leader of the martial arts alliance, is usually upright and is recognized by everyone in the martial arts world as a great hero. However, he is actually doing these things behind the scenes and is one of the mysterious organizers.
Just a short while ago, when the other party was a masked man, he even captured Xu Zhen and tried to threaten Xu Shan into taking back the Heaven-Asking Blade for him.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would believe it?
This also proves that, simply because of its name, the Heavenly Questioning Blade is difficult to separate from the Heavenly Questionnaire.
So, is it possible to find one of the fragments of the Heavenly Questions through the Heavenly Questions Blade?
Shen Miao was still a bit dazed, but she acted quickly, restraining Yan Hangshu and not giving him a chance to escape. Without any hesitation, she directly crippled Yan Hangshu's martial arts and then destroyed his foundation.
Only after doing all this did she finally catch her breath.
She acted without hesitation only after confirming Yan Hangshu's identity and being certain that he was incapable of retaliating.
Even after being purified, Zhen'er's chili water was still incredibly potent. No matter how skilled a martial arts master was, once their eyes were sprayed with it, they would hardly be able to resist.
In truth, if this person hadn't been Yan Hangshu, with his special status, given Shen Miao's usual personality, it wouldn't have been unreasonable for her to have dealt with him on the spot. The reason the group hadn't done much to the masked man earlier wasn't primarily due to fear of future retaliation, but more so because they were afraid he might still have the ability to retaliate.
Yan Hangshu cried out in pain twice, but everyone felt that the pain of being crippled was not as bad as the pain in his eyes.
Even now, Yan Hangshu is still covering his eyes, looking extremely pained.
"What should we do now?" Shen Miao turned to the others and asked.
Xu Shan said, "We have to make a trip to the Flying Cloud Sword Sect. The fact that Alliance Leader Yan's other identity has been revealed to us is no longer just our business, but a matter for the entire martial arts world. It must be spread far and wide."
"I had considered that the people behind the mysterious organization might also be from the martial arts world, but I never imagined that one of them would be Alliance Leader Yan."
"This shows that anyone could be involved in the search for the mysterious organization behind the Heavenly Questionnaire," Xu Shan added.
Yan Rugo and Shen Linsu also came to their senses at this moment, and expressed their amazement at the matter, their tone filled with disbelief.
Even Yi Xiaolan, whose mood was a bit complicated just now, couldn't help but focus her attention on Yan Hangshu.
As a member of the martial arts world, she was naturally familiar with Yan Hangshu. She never expected that the person who captured her to threaten Xu Shan was actually him!
"Among these masked men, there are probably assassins trained by Yan Hangshu." Xu Shan realized. "Those who have nothing to do with Yan Hangshu should leave quickly, or we won't be polite later."
Following his reminder, many masked men quickly got up and disappeared into the woods.
Finally, only about ten people remained. They wanted to leave, but they had clearly separated from the main group and it was too late. They didn't know what to do.
"Save me." As Yan Hangshu's low voice rang out, the masked men moved. No longer caring about the consequences, they forcibly activated their inner strength, restoring their fighting ability. Without hesitation, they rushed towards Shen Miao's position, trying to rescue Yan Hangshu from her grasp.
However, these dozen or so masked men were not in their best condition to begin with, and Shen Miao was prepared, so they naturally failed to succeed.
Xu Shan, Yan Rugo, and Shen Linsu joined the battle and quickly killed the remaining masked men without any mercy.
Yan Hangshu's eyes also dimmed, and he sighed to the sky, "This time I'm just unlucky."
He looked intently in Azhen's direction: "I never thought that I, Yan Hangshu, who have lived most of my life, would be defeated by a little girl. I, Yan Hangshu, have underestimated people."
After saying this, Yan Hangshu stopped struggling and fell silent.
"With something like this happening, Uncle Yan's true colors have been revealed to the martial arts world. He's definitely not going to be able to make a living anymore. I thought that after what Uncle Yan said just now, he was going to do what those masked men have done before—bite the poison in his mouth and commit suicide." Azhen suddenly sighed, drawing everyone's attention to herself. "So that's not the case." There was a hint of disappointment in her tone, as if she was surprised that the plot hadn't unfolded as she had expected.
Xu Shan and the others fell silent, and Yan Hangshu was even more silent, unable to resist glancing at Azhen several times.
Azhen naturally knew that Yan Hangshu wouldn't commit suicide; he was unwilling to die, and he wasn't a suicide soldier. Given any chance to live, he would cling to life, just in case he had a chance to escape. To be honest, the chances were quite good.
She wanted to see who would be unable to resist helping Yan Hangshu.
The matter has now come to an end.
The group, carrying Yan Hangshu, set off for the Flying Cloud Sword Sect. At the same time, Yan Rugo sent a message about today's events via carrier pigeon.
Before they even reach the Flying Cloud Sword Sect, Yan Hangshu's story will become known to everyone in the martial arts world.
Inside the carriage, only Xu Shan, Azhen, and Yi Xiaolan remained.
After remaining silent for a long time, Yi Xiaolan finally spoke: "You've killed someone again."
A-Zhou's eyes twitched; she had forgotten that there was someone else here waiting to cause trouble.
Xu Shan was still quite patient: "Xiao Lan, these people all deserve to die. You saw it yourself; they are assassins, all under Yan Hangshu's command. If we don't get rid of them now, they will only bring us more trouble once they fully recover. Who knows what methods they will use to rescue Yan Hangshu? You were also captured by them this time, so having the opportunity to eliminate these people will reduce the danger."
"I know, but I really don't like seeing you kill people."
“There were so many people who attacked just now, they wouldn’t have made a difference if you hadn’t attacked. They would have taken care of everyone.” Yi Xiaolan said, “I just didn’t want to see you kill people and get covered in blood. Most importantly, you promised me that you would never kill again, and you broke your promise.”
“I could have just ignored it, but I did. You could have refrained from doing it, but you did right in front of me, clearly forgetting your promise to me.”
Yi Xiaolan's tone was icy, filled with deep disappointment, as if Xu Shan had done something utterly unforgivable.
Xu Shan remained silent for a moment, and the carriage fell into silence.
At this point, Azhen didn't interrupt.
Xu Shan is an adult and not a fool. If he were clear-headed, he could definitely see that Yi Xiaolan was deliberately picking a fight.
When you can't stand someone, even their breathing is wrong. That's the state Yi Xiaolan is in right now.
After a long silence, Xu Shan spoke.
"Xiaolan, I thought you would understand me."
Xu Shan's voice carried a hint of sadness. Only now did he realize that Yi Xiaolan's heart was no longer with him.
“I’m just disappointed that you broke your promise,” Yi Xiaolan said, her tone unchanged. “We’ve been together for so many years, you should know my personality. I can be stubborn about certain things, and I’m particular about this. Since you promised me and then broke it, of course I’m not happy.”
Xu Shan knew that Yi Xiaolan was picking a fight. He asked himself honestly, he had never wronged her, so why had she become like this?
He was also a little angry and blurted out, "You can't stand me killing people, but can you stand Master Shen killing people?"
The atmosphere in the carriage froze after he finished speaking. (End of Chapter)
