The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 783 - 779: No One is Calm Anymore

In the council hall of Tianshan Sect.

Two middle-aged men with extraordinary bearing were seated at the head of the hall. One of them, dressed in a blue robe with slightly furrowed brows, was Fang Zhiyong, the Sect Leader of Tianshan Sect, whose strength had reached the peak of the Sky-Breaking Realm.

The other, clad in a black robe, bore a look of nonchalance, the corners of his mouth imperceptibly upturned. If one did not observe carefully, the slight curve would go unnoticed. He was Wang Zhongtian, the Sect Master of the first-rate power, Yun Tian Sect, rumored to have reached the Initial Stage of the Primordial Heaven Realm.

Fang Zhiyong and Wang Zhongtian could be considered old friends who had known each other for a long time. These past few days, Wang Zhongtian and his son, Wang Anqi, had been staying within Tianshan Sect. With his exceptional status, and considering the recent events at Tianshan Sect, Wang Zhongtian had come to assist Fang Zhiyong in investigating the matter.

Sitting below these two was a man of about seventy, an elder wearing a gray robe with occasional glints of ruthlessness flashing through his eyes. This man was Qiu Yuanlong, the Great Elder of Tianshan Sect, as well as the grandfather of Qiu Lengyao and the maternal grandfather of Zhong Yang, his strength too reaching the peak of the Sky-Breaking Realm.

Apart from these three, there stood four disciples of Tianshan Sect across from them, with two stretchers placed on the ground. On the stretchers lay the somewhat decomposed corpses of Xiao Huiliang and Li Haojie.

"How come the other three Elders still haven’t arrived at the council hall? Are we supposed to wait for them indefinitely?" Fang Zhiyong spoke with a hint of displeasure. As a third-rate power, Tianshan Sect only had a total of ten Innate experts, and with the loss of two at once, Fang Zhiyong’s mood as the Sect Leader was extremely grim.

"Sect Leader, let’s not wait for the other three Elders. Let’s start by getting the facts clear!" the Great Elder Qiu Yuanlong also spoke up, with Sect Master Wang Zhongtian present, it was unbefitting to have him idly waiting alongside them like a fool.

"Zhiyong, it seems your authority in Tianshan Sect is still insufficient," said Wang Zhongtian, seated beside Fang Zhiyong, in a faint voice.

Fang Zhiyong’s face darkened a bit, and he forced a smile, "Alright, let’s not wait for those old men. After we get clear on the situation here, I will personally deal with them."

Fang Zhiyong then composed himself, turning his gaze to the four disciples of Tianshan Sect standing before him, and asked, "Retell the details of how you found these two bodies exactly as you discovered them. I want to see who dares to make an enemy of my Tianshan Sect."

Hearing this, one of the Tianshan Sect disciples respectfully said, "Reporting to the Sect Leader, we found the bodies of the two senior brothers in the woods next to the entrance used by first-rate and second-rate forces."

The disciple paused, his face showing a moment of hesitation, but he continued, "When we discovered the bodies, senior brother Li Haojie’s body was lying on top of senior brother Xiao Huiliang’s back. After our initial examination, we found that... the lower part of senior brother Li’s body had burst open. Before the explosion, he must have been with Xiao senior brother..." freewebnøvel.coɱ

The Tianshan Sect disciple struggled to continue. As for the bodies lying on the stretchers, Li Haojie and Xiao Huiliang were facing up. Fang Zhiyong could see the bloody mess inside Li Haojie’s crotch, but not the state of Xiao Huiliang’s posterior, so at first, they couldn’t figure out what had happened.

Fang Zhiyong wasn’t in the mood for riddles, barking, "What’s with your hesitation? Finish what you were saying quickly."

The Tianshan Sect disciple moved to Xiao Huiliang’s body, flipping it over, and immediately Fang Zhiyong and the others saw the dried blood on Xiao Huiliang’s buttocks. Recalling the disciple’s earlier stuttering, they suddenly came to a conclusion—Li Haojie had sodomized Xiao Huiliang!

This caused the blood in Fang Zhiyong’s body to surge with fury, especially because an outsider like Wang Zhongtian was present. As the Sect Leader of Tianshan Sect, his disciple, and furthermore a Core Disciple of the Innate Realm, had actually, actually...

Seeing Fang Zhiyong’s mounting rage, the Tianshan Sect disciple became even more terrified. However, one of the other three disciples stepped forward and said, "Sect Leader, we have examined the bodies of the two senior brothers. We found that senior brother Xiao Huiliang died from a single strike, while senior brother Li Haojie died from an explosion in the lower half of his body and the drying up of his vital essence."

In the presence of Fang Zhiyong and others, this disciple of course did not dare to openly say that Li Haojie was the one who had died.

Fang Zhiyong’s face kept changing as he said, "Xiao Huiliang has the strength of the Innate Realm Peak, and Li Haojie has the strength of the Innate Realm Middle Stage. Whoever killed them must be at least a master of the Sky-Breaking Realm. Who exactly is targeting our Tianshan Sect?"

"Zhiyong, it seems that the recent massacre of first and second-rate powers by your group has incurred the dissatisfaction of other top forces. As far as I see it, you can only swallow this loss silently. Right now, we don’t even have a single clue in our hands." Wang Zhongtian said indifferently, since it wasn’t his Yun Tian Sect’s disciples who had died, he could afford to be so indifferent.

...

The two core disciples, one each from the Second Elder Lu Douwen and the Third Elder Yu Qianshi, rushed to the outside of the council hall. As eyewitnesses, the steward Huang and Li Weida were also forced to come along. They had just been awakened from their unconsciousness, their minds still somewhat dazed.

The two disciples guarding the council hall stopped this group of people, shouting, "The Sect Leader is discussing important matters inside the council hall. All irrelevant people immediately scram."

The core disciples of the Second and Third Elders, named Zheng Tongli and Hua Weiyang, immediately showed angry expressions upon seeing the two arrogantly guarding disciples. However, they also knew that these two were under the Sect Leader’s command, so they could only forcefully suppress their anger.

"What are you standing around for? Hurry up and leave," said the impatient disciple guarding the door, waving his hand dismissively.

"Make way for me," Zheng Tongli told the steward Huang and Li Weida following behind him.

Steward Huang and Li Weida immediately obediently stepped aside, and behind them followed a group of Tianshan Sect’s disciples. These disciples were carrying stretchers in pairs, and on these stretchers lay one corpse after another.

The two originally arrogant disciples guarding the council hall nearly stumbled upon seeing the corpses on the stretchers. After rubbing their eyes vigorously, they finally confirmed what they saw was real. The Fourth Elder died? The Sect Leader’s son died? The Great Elder’s grandson died? The Great Elder’s grand nephew died? Even the Yun Tian Sect Sect Master’s son died?

"Do you still want to block our way now? If the Sect Leader doesn’t take your lives for being late in reporting this, I’m sure the Yun Tian Sect Master won’t let you off either," Hua Weiyang barked.

The two disciples who were guarding the door were no longer hesitant and immediately helped Zheng Tongli and the others open the door to the council hall. When Fang Zhiyong, Wang Zhongtian, and the others inside saw the people flooding into the hall, anger immediately showed on their faces. Especially Fang Zhiyong, as the Sect Leader of the Tianshan Sect, was there anyone who could enter the council hall without even reporting first? Had his authority as the Sect Leader become so insignificant within the Tianshan Sect?

"Are you the core disciples of the Second and Third Elders? Breaking into the council hall is no small crime. Are you trying to rebel?" Fang Zhiyong’s Sky-Breaking Peak aura undulated constantly. Remembering that neither the Third nor the Second Elder had arrived yet, and seeing these two old men’s core disciples barge into the council hall without reporting, how could Fang Zhiyong accept this?

"Zhiyong, do you want me to help you give these disrespectful youngsters a lesson?" Wang Zhongtian, sitting beside Fang Zhiyong, said with a smile.

"This is outrageous. How did the Second and Third manage their disciples?" Great Elder Qiu Yuanlong also spoke up, very displeased.

Yet just as Fang Zhiyong and the others were about to take action against Zheng Tongli and Hua Weiyang in front of them, they suddenly noticed the stretchers carried behind them. When they saw the corpses on the stretchers, not only Fang Zhiyong and Qiu Yuanlong were unable to remain calm. Even the always nonchalant Wang Zhongtian jumped up from his seat when he saw his son Wang Anqi’s body. His aura at the Primordial Heaven Initial Stage exploded in an instant, and his face turned incredibly ferocious. (To be continued.
