Chapter 115 Qingcheng Sect
This system is absolutely inhuman!
As Chen Yuan was thinking this, one of the bodyguards, surnamed Di, spoke up and asked.
"Chen Yuan, why aren't you leaving yet?"
Chen Yuan snapped out of his daze and subconsciously responded with a reply.
"They're here."
Lin Zhennan stood at the boundary between light and shadow inside the threshold, watching the three of them turn the street corner.
He didn't turn around immediately. He stood quietly for a moment with his hands behind his back before lifting the hem of his robe and walking back to the inner courtyard with a pace that was half a step faster than usual.
Chen Yuan followed the two bodyguards across the street corner toward the coffin shop.
That bodyguard Di deliberately chose a deserted road, sandwiched between two high walls.
"Chen Yuan".
Suddenly, the bodyguard Di spoke, his voice very low.
"Was something wrong just now?"
He asked the question subtly, but his eyes weren't on the road; instead, they were fixed on Chen Yuan's profile.
Years of escorting goods had honed his beast-like instincts; Chen Yuan's brief hesitation at the doorway had made the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.
Chen Yuan did not answer.
Just as Di the镖师 (bodyguard/escort) finished speaking, he subtly twisted the toe of his left foot outward, and his center of gravity shifted silently like flowing water.
Whoosh!
A very faint sound of something cutting through the air came from behind.
Di the镖师 (bodyguard) did not notice the sound of air being cut, but was only shocked by Chen Yuan's lightness skill.
He didn't even see how Chen Yuan moved; he only felt a blur before his eyes, and Chen Yuan was already a zhang away.
This lightness skill... is almost ghostly fast, completely different from Chen Yuan's usual skill, which was only considered solid. Just as this thought crossed his mind, he heard a strange "ho...ho..." sound from his side.
Di, the bodyguard, turned his head in horror and saw another bodyguard with bulging eyes, his hands tightly gripping his own throat.
The bodyguard's face drained of all color. After struggling for a few seconds, he fell straight backward, crashing onto the bluestone slab with a dull thud.
"Huh~"
A surprised voice, tinged with a Sichuan accent, drifted out from somewhere.
Immediately afterwards, another slightly embarrassed voice followed.
"It was my carelessness."
Before he could finish speaking, another sharp "hiss" rang out!
This time, when Di the镖师 heard the sound, his expression became even more horrified.
But Chen Yuan didn't even turn his head.
He merely touched the ground with his toes, and his entire body suddenly shifted three feet to the side.
The bluestone brick slammed down on the spot where he had been standing.
"Snap!"
With a crisp sound, a small crater was smashed into the hard stone slab, and stone chips flew everywhere.
Di, the bodyguard, gasped, his blood running cold.
The technique, the force...
The same thief used when Lady Wang's golden knife was knocked away in the inner courtyard a quarter of an hour ago!
"Chen Yuan, run!!"
He roared hoarsely, his voice cracking with extreme fear.
The roar still echoed in the alley, but Chen Yuan's figure had vanished into thin air before his eyes.
They really have disappeared.
Di the镖师 had no idea where Chen Yuan had gone.
But a few seconds later, he heard two short screams coming from the other side of the wall.
"what!"
"what!"
Sharp, horrifying, and then abruptly stopped.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yuan's figure reappeared on the wall.
With his left hand, he lifted two limp men in blue robes like chicks, while with his right hand, his five fingers were like iron clamps, gripping the back of a third man's neck.
He carried the three of them and jumped down from the high wall.
"Bang! Bang!"
With two muffled thuds, the two men on the left were casually thrown to the ground, face down, motionless, with dark red, viscous blood quickly seeping out beneath them.
He pushed the man on the right forward, and the man let out a howl and scrambled to the opposite wall.
Turning around, his face was completely pale, and he kowtowed to Chen Yuan repeatedly, his forehead instantly turning red.
"Sir, spare my life!"
"Please spare me, sir!!"
Di the镖师 stared wide-eyed, his pupils trembling.
Looking at the two corpses on the ground, which were quickly soaked in blood, and then at the man in blue robes who was kowtowing and kicking up dust, his mind went blank.
Could it be that the culprits who have kept everyone at Fuwei Escort Agency in a state of constant fear these past few days are these three guys who were thrown out like dead dogs?
But why did it fall into Chen Yuan's hands so easily?
Di the镖师 mechanically turned his neck to look at Chen Yuan.
But then Chen Yuan patted non-existent dust off his hands, frowned slightly, and muttered something under his breath.
"Are all the people here... so weak in a fight?"
Di the镖师: ?
He swallowed hard and asked cautiously to confirm.
"Chen... Chief Escort Chen, these three are..."
He pointed to the corpse on the ground and the kowtowing beetle.
"The murderer who killed so many of our brothers...?"
"It shouldn't be..."
Chen Yuan's expression also showed some hesitation.
He turned his gaze to the person at the base of the wall and raised his chin.
"Hey, where's Yu Canghai?"
The man suddenly looked up, his face already streaked with tears.
"I...I don't know!"
"Yu Canghai?!"
Di, the bodyguard, screamed in alarm.
"Yu Canghai of the Qingcheng School in Western Sichuan?!"
"Could our enemy be the Qingcheng Sect?"
Chen Yuan glanced at him.
What happened to the Qingcheng Sect?
The rhetorical question, however, confirmed this fact.
Di, the bodyguard, felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head, and his limbs felt numb.
All the rumors and worst-case scenarios were brutally confirmed at this moment.
Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"As long as it's not Yu Canghai."
It's good that it wasn't Yu Canghai; he had thought Yu Canghai was actually this weak.
Di the Bodyguard:
'
'
What do you mean by "that's good"?
Wouldn't they be even more doomed if they encountered Yu Canghai?
Chen Yuan continued to ask.
"What's your surname and given name? Who are you in the Qingcheng Sect?"
The man immediately spoke, trembling.
"I, Jia Renda... am just a nobody in the Qingcheng Sect, only... only doing odd jobs and scouting, I've never killed anyone, sir!"
"These two on the ground, this one is Fang Renzhi, and that one...that one is Yu Renhao."
"We...we were ordered by Yu Canghai to surround the south side of Fuwei Escort Agency."
"Yu Renhao?!"
Di the镖师's voice changed tone.
"Yu Renhao, one of the Four Heroes of Qingcheng, a true hero?!"
After he finished speaking, he noticed that Chen Yuan's expression had turned to surprise.
Even if it wasn't Yu Canghai, Yu Renhao was still a remarkable figure to him.
Yet this very person lay at his feet like a dead dog.
Everything, everything, is because of Chen Yuan.
"It's him!"
Jia Renda's face instantly contorted with grief and indignation, as if he were ashamed.
"Those two villains!"
"He habitually bullies his fellow disciples and commits all sorts of evil deeds, relying on his superior martial arts skills!"
"Good riddance! He deserved to die!"
As he spoke, he actually spat on Yu Renhao's corpse.
Chen Yuan said with a half-smile.
"Heh, I didn't realize you were such a righteous person who hates evil?"
Jia Renda seemed to have grasped at a straw, nodding hurriedly and forcing a fawning smile on his face.
"I'm a kind-hearted person and can't stand these things..."
"Alright."
Chen Yuan interrupted him.
"I've heard that you're an expert in all sorts of vices in the Qingcheng Sect, from eating and drinking to gambling, whoring, smoking, cheating, swindling, and stealing."
"Why are you pretending to be a pure and innocent girl with me?"
The last sentence suddenly rose in volume, echoing through the alley like a thunderclap.
Jia Renda shuddered violently, and his crotch quickly became wet, forming a small puddle on the bluestone slab.
He could no longer even kneel steadily, and collapsed, only able to instinctively kowtow, the sound of his forehead hitting the ground muffled and loud.
"Sir, spare me! I was wrong!"
"I'll never dare to do it again! Please just ignore me, sir!"
Seeing the Qingcheng Sect disciples in such a wretched state, the heavy fear in Di's heart suddenly dissipated considerably.
He took a deep breath and looked at Chen Yuan with hopeful eyes.
"Chief镖师 Chen, what do we do now?"
"Take the person back."
