Chapter 568: Chapter 324: Young Hero Duan Chooses to Handle the Annihilation Alone
With a snap, the hand of the Bloodthirsty Storyteller was twisted off by a man.
The man shook his slightly flowing long hair and said, "I am Liu Jin of the Eight Gods Sect. This guy dares to deceive people with lies and scare them with Old Demon Duan, he hasn’t suffered enough.
I will take him back and let him taste the tortures of my Eight Gods Sect!"
When everyone heard that it was the Eight Gods Sect, one of the five major forces in the city, enforcing justice, they couldn’t help but feel respect.
They detest those who are incapable of finding the treasure vault but spread lies about its destruction.
In Qinghe City, so many Jianghu people come and go, many leave empty-handed and in shame.
Among these people, the most detested are those who, being unsuccessful themselves, claim the Martial God Treasure Vault of the Golden Mountain to be fake.
It’s like those Jianghu guests who always complain but never succeed in life and are just as annoying.
Sect Leader Zhao of the Sparrow Saber Sect puts it as—"If you lack ability, just admit it, no need to blame the big environment. Others succeed, but you fail in everything and say it’s the martial arts environment. Why does the environment worsen wherever you go, are you the one wrecking the environment!"
And this storyteller’s words were even more annoying and malicious than those who complain about the environment, deserving punishment.
The Eight Gods Sect, one of the five major forces, disliked such statements not only because they’re also seeking the Martial God Treasure Vault but because they want to do business with Jianghu people.
If you burst this dream bubble, how can I make Silver off people?
So when the storyteller was taken away by the people of the Eight Gods Sect, the whole audience cheered as if sending off a plague demon.
The Bloodthirsty Storyteller never thought that what he personally witnessed as "earth-shattering facts" would land him in such a situation, and he couldn’t help but complain secretly: "Cowards! Fools! This Martial World is filled with cowards and fools, which is why Old Demon Duan can act so recklessly!"
Thinking of this, he was so angry he rolled his eyes.
Just as the Bloodthirsty Storyteller was subjected to the "pleasant hospitality" of the Eight Gods Sect, an uninvited guest arrived at Duan Yun’s residence.
This uninvited guest was captured in a mud pit by Panda Dabai, near the toilet, and dragged out.
Duan Yun and his group didn’t expect Panda Dabai could catch a thief, and couldn’t help but praise it highly.
At this moment, Duan Yun suddenly found this "thief" looked somewhat familiar.
The "thief," covered in wounds, upon seeing Duan Yun, burst into tears and said, "Father, I’ve finally found you."
It was then Duan Yun recognized, wasn’t this Elder Hong Mingtian from Red Tower Mountain?
Just a few days without seeing, how did he end up so miserable?
The Murong brothers were shocked to find out Duan Yun had such an older son, and they stepped aside.
At this point, Hong Mingtian had already crawled over with difficulty.
Duan Yun asked, puzzled, "What happened to you?"
"Hero Duan, our Red Tower Mountain is no more, and the wife I was going to present to you was seized by others," Hong Mingtian said with a miserable face.
A few days without seeing, Red Tower Mountain was annihilated?
Last time he and Red Tower Mountain went to search for the Golden Temple, Red Tower Mountain suffered considerable losses, but half returned, how did it suddenly collapse?
Duan Yun couldn’t help but ask, "What’s going on?"
"It was the Yuxi Sect. The Yuxi Sect saw us heavily damaged from exploring with you, and took the opportunity to ally with the other four major forces, attacked us, not only killing our people but also demanding the whereabouts of the Golden Temple.
We thought that as a hero you would still go there and didn’t want to be disturbed, so we swore not to tell them and claimed to have you as our backing."
Duan Yun frowned and said, "You used my name?"
"I feared affecting your actions, and didn’t dare to directly claim your name, but warned them how formidable you are. But the Yuxi Sect and the Sect Leader of the Eight Gods Sect said, not to mention a backer like you who doesn’t even dare reveal their name, even if the Heavenly King came, they would kill just the same," Ming Hongtian said, clinging to Duan Yun’s leg miserably.
Most of what he said was true.
He never expected the other side to act so quickly and ruthlessly, so that when he wanted to use Duan Yun’s name for protection, almost all of Red Tower Mountain was already dead.
As they say, once an arrow is released, it cannot be taken back, and the situation had reached a point of no return.
He felt such hatred!
The heritage of Red Tower Mountain was destroyed under his hands, what’s the point of surviving?
So he decided to grit his teeth and fight.
Sincerely thinking of Duan Yun, he never revealed Duan Yun’s identity, knowing Duan Yun used a false name to blend into Red Tower Mountain to keep his identity secret.
Later, he relied on his last skills and escaped, heavily injured, just for a chance.
A chance for Duan Yun to seek justice for him and Red Tower Mountain’s unfairly killed disciples.
He knew Duan Yun wouldn’t be grateful to him, after all, he could sense Duan Yun didn’t like Red Tower Mountain much, even if they were obedient later.
But it was his only chance.
Duan Yun wouldn’t be grateful to him and Red Tower Mountain, but he is vengeful!
Sure enough, at this moment, Duan Yun said with a gloomy face, "Damn it, what’s with this Yuxi Sect and Eight Gods Sect, giving me no respect at all?"
He certainly didn’t have a good impression of Red Tower Mountain, but whether it was Wang Dihua or the current Hong Mingtian, they were at least sensible.
In forming the "Righteous Army" and seeking the Golden Taoist Temple, they spared no efforts.
To put it another way, Wang Dihua and Hong Mingtian were familiar faces, even if they were not good people, they were at least obedient dogs.
Damn it, to kill dogs familiar with him with no face given?
Doesn’t Young Hero want face?
Then, Duan Yun asked, "Where are the people of the Yuxi Sect and Eight Gods Sect?"
Hong Mingtian, spitting blood, said, "They’ve taken over our territory, right where your living quarters were when you joined."
Duan Yun had already stood up, saying, "I’m going out for a bit."
The Murong brothers said, "We want to go too."
Duan Yun said, "Stay out of annihilation affairs."
With that, he was gone.
Watching Duan Yun’s departing figure, the Murong brothers couldn’t help but complain, "That guy will hog all the glory of wiping out families."
Hong Mingtian watched Duan Yun leave, smiling as he closed his eyes.
He knew, at this moment, even if he died immediately, it would be worth it.
Damn beasts of the Yuxi Sect, you too will pay the price!
