Chapter 96: Chapter 69: Sleeve Crossbow Boiling Blood Scatter! The Ambush of the Black Lotus!_3
The scroll contained information about a disciple of the Black Lotus Sect, along with his portrait. Looking at the portrait, this Ning Cheng appeared to be in his thirties, with a knife scar at the corner of his eye, clearly not a kind man.
“A cultivation in the Divine Strength Realm… Then I’ll make a trip,” Su Changkong said as he put away the scroll and spoke to Wang Yun before, as always, rising swiftly and making his way out of the Yamen.
He hoped that this Ning Cheng would carry more gold and silver on him, so that he could make some quick profit!
After Su Changkong left, Wang Yun’s face showed signs of struggle and hesitation.
“Branch ah!”
Meanwhile, the room’s door was pushed open from the outside, and a man stepped in without any greeting, which was undoubtedly very impolite and unbridled, yet Wang Yun did not show any dissatisfaction on his face. Instead, there was a hint of wariness.
The man entering the room was dressed in a blue robe and had a refined and cultured appearance.
The man smiled and said, “Is this the man who killed nearly ten of our Black Lotus Sect’s disciples? He carries a faint scent of danger about him, indeed, a master!”
Wang Yun replied with a grim look, “What do you plan to do to him?”
The man in the blue robe traced a smile with the corner of his mouth, a grin bereft of warmth, “This man has killed so many of our Black Lotus Sect disciples, what to do to him? Naturally, we will skin him alive and set him on fire! We’ll make him taste all kinds of torture, and regret his actions!”
The blue-robed man spoke lightly, but the chill in his tone made Wang Yun feel a shiver run down his spine.
“Wen Tai… I’m sorry,” Wang Yun said, sitting in the chair, pale and powerless.
Wang Yun had hired Su Changkong to assassinate the disciples of the Black Lotus Sect, hoping to diminish the Sect’s influence in Clearwater City. Despite Su Changkong’s caution in concealing his identity, there are no impermeable walls in the world.
The Black Lotus Sect suffered numerous casualties among its disciples, and some began to suspect that Ghost Face, who was intentionally hunting their disciples, was probably acting under someone’s orders. And in the vicinity of Clearwater City, the most likely suspect was County Magistrate Wang Yun!
Not long ago, the high-level experts of the Black Lotus Sect came knocking, threatening the lives of Wang Yun, his family, and friends to make Wang Yun cooperate with the Sect, to ensure that the Ghost Face who killed so many of their disciples paid the ultimate price!
Without a doubt, Wang Yun had succumbed. Even though he felt guilty, he chose to cooperate with the Black Lotus Sect for his own safety and that of his loved ones. He believed that under the instruction of the blue-robed man’s carrier pigeon messages, the experts of the Black Lotus Sect would be waiting at the location he had given to Su Changkong.
Once Su Changkong plunged headfirst in, the outcome was clear!
“I’m sorry… Mr. Wen… I’m sorry…” Wang Yun chanted silently to himself and then helplessly closed his eyes. He felt torn and conflicted inside.
In his heart, he hoped that Wen Tai would turn misfortune into a blessing, but the chances were slim.
And if Wen Tai did indeed miraculously survive, he would surely realize that he had been betrayed by Wang Yun and return in a furious rage to seek revenge!
If Wen Tai died, the Black Lotus Sect would press him with threats and temptation. If Wen Tai survived, then based on Wang Yun’s understanding of his resolute and decisive nature, the betrayed Wen Tai would likely personally behead him!
Whether Wen Tai was dead or alive, Wang Yun had no way out!
The blue-robed man casually crossed his legs and sat down in a corner of the room, his lips curved in a smile.
The blue-robed man was prepared to wait for the news of Ghost Face’s elimination, to completely despair Wang Yun, and to further threaten and entice him, making the influential County Magistrate join the Black Lotus Sect and serve them. With that, Clearwater City would no doubt be in the Sect’s pocket!
As for Wen Tai or whatever Ghost Face? They were nothing more than ants that brought some minor trouble to the Black Lotus Sect, to be easily crushed, with no one to remember them.. Such presumptuous fools, who thought they could turn the tide with their modest abilities, had been eradicated in numbers throughout the growth and expansion of the Black Lotus Sect!
