Chapter 138

"Zhan Chen, it's time for you to die!" Huang Youshu took out a mace from his Qiankun Bag and raised it high above his head. He was about to swing it at Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen's nerves were stretched to the extreme. He was about to activate his secret technique, True Martial Explosive Element, to end the battle quickly.

Suddenly, he heard a "puchi" sound, and a sword pierced through Huang Youshu's back. His body immediately froze, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face. He used his last breath to turn his head, wanting to see who killed him. In the end, all he saw was Li Guihua's smug smile. He unwillingly squeezed out two words from the corner of his mouth, "It's you!"

There was no more words after that. The domineering Steward Huang had breathed his last.

The development of the situation took a 180-degree turn. Zhan Chen was also completely stunned. For a moment, he didn't understand what was going on.

Li Guihua walked forward and took two Qiankun Bags from Huang Youshu's waist. He threw one of them to Jiang Quanliu and said, "Brother Jiang, give this Qiankun Bag to the alliance. There are sixty thousand upper-grade Primordial Stones in it. This is what Huang Youshu got from selling the elixirs."

"Aiya! This amount of Primordial Stones is really timely! Tsk tsk, Brother Li Guihua, you have made a great contribution to the Righteous Alliance! "Jiang Quanliu took the Qiankun Bag and said excitedly.

"Brother Jiang, there is no need to say anything more. Everyone is contributing to the alliance. My contribution is nothing." Li Guihua smiled modestly.

At this time, Zhan Chen, who had been ignored, could not help but say, "Li Guihua, what do you mean by this?"

Li Guihua looked at Zhan Chen and said with a smile, "Brother Zhan, isn't this good? I helped you get rid of your enemy. "

"Hmph, you are at most dogs biting each other. You want to use the same method you used on Huang Youshu to deal with me? It's not that easy!" Zhan Chen held the sword in his hand tighter. He did not trust Li Guihua at all.

"Brother Li, it seems that this brother has some misunderstandings about us. Please explain it to him!" Jiang Quanliu said.

Li Guihua nodded and stared at Zhan Chen. He said solemnly, "Zhan Chen, we are not your enemies. We might even become your friends in the future. We might even be brothers."

"I don't understand what you are saying. You are obviously trying to trick me. "

"Haha, Zhan Chen, don't tell me that you and I have something in common?"

"Yes, please look at my eyes.

"Yes, please look at my eyes carefully," Li Guihua reminded.

Hearing this, Zhan Chen began to observe Li Guihua's eyes. He saw that his eyes were clear and bright. He finally reacted and shouted, "You're not a Demonic Cultivator!"

Now that he thought about it, he finally understood why he felt that Li Guihua was strange at that time. It was actually because he'd stayed in the Devil Sect for too long, and his first impression of everyone was the strongest. Thus, he'd neglected some details.

"Zhan Chen finally understood. This is the difference between us and those demonic cultivators. Look at everyone here, none of them are demonic cultivators."

Zhan Chen looked at Jiang Quanliu and the surrounding Revered Martial Artists. Sure enough, their eyes were clear and did not have the abnormal red of normal demonic cultivators.

So he asked again, "Then who are you people?"

Li Guihua replied, "We all belong to a sect called the Righteous Alliance."

"What is the Righteous Alliance?"

Li Guihua sighed and said, "Our Righteous Alliance is formed by those who were harmed by Marat Sect. A thousand years ago, this area was originally ruled by the Righteous Sects. However, all of this changed with the rise of Marat Sect. "

"Yin Xuehai crazily slaughtered our Righteous Sects. In less than a hundred years, all the Righteous Sects in this land were destroyed by him. However, the flames of justice will not be extinguished. Our ancestors hid in the deep mountains and forests and united to form the current Righteous Alliance to continue to fight against the bloody rule of Marat Sect. We are their successors."

"Zhan Chen, actually, when you came to Holy Maiden Peak, I began to pay attention to you. Later on, I saw that you did not choose to cultivate demonic arts even after coming to Marat Sect for so long. Moreover, you are incompatible with those demonic cultivators. That is why I told you so much. How about it? Are you interested in joining our Righteous Alliance to fight against Marat Sect together? "

As Zhan Chen listened to his words, his heart was like a raging storm. He thought excitedly, "I really didn't expect this! This is the core area ruled by Marat Sect. To think that there would be Righteous Sects. Perhaps I can reestablish contact with the outside world through them … "

Suddenly, he came to a realization. "No, I can't so easily believe what they said. I still need to carefully investigate this matter and think about it at length."

Therefore, he gave Li Guihua a reply. "Thank you for Brother Li's concern, but I don't intend to join you for the time being."

"No hurry, no hurry. It is understandable that you are wary of us. In the end, we deceived you and used you to bait the big fish, Huang Youshu. I didn't expect that idiot to really be fooled and believe my words without a doubt. Therefore, this time being able to go so smoothly, you have to take half of the credit."

Speaking of Huang Youshu, Zhan Chen was indeed speechless. But when he looked at himself, he wasn't any better. Wasn't he still being used? He smiled wryly and said, "Brother Li, your acting skills are definitely at the level of an experienced actor. Even I was miserably deceived by you."

"Hahaha, Brother Zhan, in the future, please take care of us. Our Righteous Alliance needs a bold and meticulous person like you. This Huang Youshu's Qiankun bag is our compensation and greeting gift to you!" Saying that, Li Guihua threw the Qiankun bag in his hand to Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen caught it and took a look at it. His heart was beating rapidly. He raised his head and asked, "Brother Li, have you not seen what's inside? You just gave it to me so easily? "

"Hehe, I didn't see it. Our Righteous Alliance people are so free and easy. There is no reason to take back a gift that has been given." Li Guihua said.

"Good! I, Zhan Chen, will definitely make friends with you! "Zhan Chen obtained such a huge wealth. Naturally, he was in a good mood.

"Brother Zhan, now we still have a request."

"Oh? What is it? "

"That is to accompany us in acting. Didn't Huang Youshu say it just now? It's just that the main and supporting roles have been changed. "Li Guihua smiled.

Zhan Chen also smiled.

… …

Outside the house, Wang En and Zhou Yongshun could not wait any longer. Although it was a simple transaction, Huang Youshu and the others did not come out after a long time. The two of them were discussing whether they should rush in.

Suddenly, they saw two figures, one in front and one behind, dashed out of the house and ran towards their direction.

Zhou Yongshun looked and shouted, "It's Zhan Chen and Li Guihua! Where's our Leader Huang? "

"This isn't right!" Wang En reacted quickly and immediately drew his sword.

However, he heard Zhan Chen shout at them, "Run, there's an ambush in the house!"

As he spoke, Jiang Quanliu had already led a group of men in black out of the house. There were more than ten of them, and they shouted, "Everyone, surround these people and kill them all! Don't let them escape! "

When Wang En and Zhou Yongshun saw this, they did not dare to stay. Without any hesitation, he turned around and ran into the forest.

The four of them ran for a long time before they stopped to catch their breath.

Li Guihua looked behind him and asked Zhan Chen, "Zhan Chen, they didn't chase after us?"

"I don't know. Once we rushed into the forest, they stopped chasing us." Zhan Chen panted as he said hurriedly. He wanted to make his acting more realistic.

"Maybe they didn't want to chase us anymore!" Li Guihua said.

At this moment, Wang En asked, "What exactly happened?"

Li Guihua pretended to be distressed and slapped his thigh. "Sigh! Don't mention it. Once we entered the house, we sensed something was wrong. We reminded Leader Huang to be careful of these people, but Leader Huang was blinded by his greed and insisted on going up. "

"In the end, we fell into their ambush. The two of us fought with our lives on the line and managed to escape. But Leader Huang was not so lucky. He was heavily surrounded and naturally couldn't escape."

Wang En and Zhou Yongshun also sighed when they heard it. Because they had doubts about this deal before, they believed what Li Guihua said now.

Wang En suddenly shouted, "Oh no!"

"What's wrong?" Everyone asked.

"That means all the primal stones from selling the spiritual herbs are gone! If we go back like this, we will be heavily punished! "

"Yeah, what should we do?" After his reminder, everyone realized the severity of the problem. If this matter was not handled well, they would lose their heads.

Li Guihua thought for a while and said, "Huang Youshu was the one who made the decision on his own, so we just have to push all the blame onto him. However, everyone must say the same thing. Just say that Leader Huang insisted on doing things his own way despite everyone's repeated attempts to dissuade him, which led to the robbery of the spirit herbs."

"That's the only way." Everyone was silent for a while and then nodded in agreement.

"There's no time to lose. Let's immediately return to Holy Maiden Peak and report this matter to the higher-ups." Wang En said.

Thus, the group immediately set off and rushed back to Holy Maiden Peak. They reported the events of Huang Youshu's death and the primal stones being robbed to Liu Manfu.

When Liu Manfu heard this news, he instantly fell back into his seat. After a long while, he stood up and roared at the four people, "How could this be! Such a big thing happened, the four of you can forget about escaping responsibility! "

Huang Youshu was his wife's most beloved little brother. Normally, he treated him like his own little brother. Now that he had died for no reason, of course he would lose his rationality.

Wang En saw his anger and stepped forward, saying, "Supervisor Liu, this matter was decided by Leader Huang alone. We can only listen to him."

"I don't care! Someone needs to be buried with my brother-in-law! " Liu Manfu stared at the four of them. He was so anxious that he had already turned into a mad dog that wanted to bite anyone he saw. He would not listen to any explanation.

In a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became incomparably heavy. Zhan Chen and the others stood below, not daring to even breathe loudly.

At this moment, a supervisor rushed in in panic and called out, "Supervisor Liu …"

"Hmph! Do you want to die? "Supervisor Liu stared at him with his scarlet eyes.

"No, supervisor, I have something to report!"

"What is it? Say it quickly!"

"Yes, Lady Holy Maiden is here!"
