Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Thousand Knives and Ten Thousand Cauldrons

  "What's wrong with Zan and Dian? Speak quickly, don't be hesitant here!"

  Murong Hai asked with a somewhat tense expression. His heart always felt a bit flustered, he wanted to know where things had gone wrong but couldn't find the root cause, which made him very uneasy.

  "Come on, Old Man Lin! Hurry up and tell me what happened to the cruel Little Brother and Crazy Brother. If you can't give me a reason, I'll have no choice but to beat you up today!"

  Murong Kang's emotions stirred as soon as Lin Zidao mentioned his two senior brothers. When he was young, these two senior brothers had shown him great kindness and would go to great lengths to fulfill his every wish. Until Murong Hai allowed his own family to grow stronger, he ordered Lin Zidao to arrange for the cruel old three and Murong Dian to be sent to the seventh prison, where they could find some capable people and recruit them under their own banner.

  "Right! What's wrong with you? You're acting like an old lady! Spit it out quickly!"

  "It's just, I've never seen anyone so timid, it makes me wonder if you're really a man."

  "You're really asking for a beating, I'm tempted to go up and punch you."

  ......

  The person sitting in the chair below was trembling, and Lin Zidao didn't dare to continue speaking at this time. He kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve because he was afraid of sweating profusely. His legs were shaking non-stop, and his breathing became coarser. He wanted to retreat but couldn't, wanting to speak out but fearing that the Murong family would erupt in anger, which would cost him his life. This put him in a difficult position, until finally, it seemed like he made a decision, having said so much already, he had no choice but to take this last resort.

  "Brother Murong, I...I'm telling you...you mustn't harm me! This...this wasn't done by me, this...this was all done by that poor vegetable peddler's kid."

  Lin Zidao stuttered. Although he was very afraid now, his mind was clear and he pushed all the blame for the plan to frame him at home onto Chen Pengpeng. If he didn't speak out the truth today, then his own Lin family would be finished! When the time came and the Murong family investigated, his own Lin family would likely suffer a fate of extinction!

  "You'd better be honest, if you're not, don't blame me for being merciless! Even though you saved my life!"

  Murong Hai's eyes turned red as if he knew something. Although he didn't believe it, he still wanted Lin Zidao to tell him personally.

  "It's... I said... I said, things are like this. You... your two disciples in... in No. 7 Prison for... for helping me kill that poor vegetable seller, didn't... didn't expect that poor vegetable seller kid to actually use a dirty trick! He brutally killed your two disciples! Brother Murong, I just received the news too, didn't expect... didn't expect that poor vegetable seller kid to be so cunning! Brother Murong, it's all my fault!"

  Lin Zidao cried out with a nose full of snot and tears. Who would have thought that his acting skills were so superb, saying it with such vividness, sorrowfully expressing his inner voice. In fact, no one knew what Lin Zidao was thinking at this time, although his expression was painful and self-reproaching, but in his heart he was praying for the success of his own plan!

  "What did you say? Can Er and Ci Er are dead?! And who is the poor vegetable seller!!!"

  Murong Hai suddenly flew down from the dragon chair, floated to Lin Zidao's side, stretched out one hand to pinch his neck, and lifted him up, suspending him in mid-air. The scene was extremely frightening, with Murong Hai's eyes full of bloodshot, looking like he had gone mad, his long hair flying straight up, his appearance extremely terrifying!

  "Cough...cough...Murong...Brother Murong..."

  Lin Zidao was pinched by Murong Hai and suspended in mid-air, his legs constantly pedaling in the air. At the same time, both hands used all their strength to try to pry open Murong Hai's dead grip on his neck. His mouth kept coughing, he really couldn't bear it, if he continued to be pinched like this, he would definitely die. In the end, he also gave up resisting and let Murong Hai pinch him.

  "Boom!"

  A loud thud as it hit the ground.

  "Who was that poor vegetable seller!!!! I will avenge the crippled child and the epileptic child!"

  Murong Hai saw that Lin Zidao did not have the guts to deceive him, so he decided to let him go. His eyes suddenly turned ferocious, and upon hearing that his beloved disciple had died, he was heartbroken. From childhood to adulthood, he had treated them like his own sons, but now they were gone in the blink of an eye. In his heart, he vowed to capture him and tear him into a thousand pieces!

  "Cough, cough... Ah, Mu Rongge, he... cough, his name is Chen Pengpeng, he... his family has a mother who sells vegetables and an old lady who took them in."

  Lin Zidao saw Murong Hai put down himself and immediately got up from the ground, rubbed his own throat with his hand, and spoke in a coarse and intermittent voice.

  "Is it Chen Pong? The little vegetable seller? Good! Good! Good! I'll let you experience the pain of losing a loved one too!"

  Murong Hai's eyes widened in anger as he gritted his teeth and said.

  "Big Brother!"

  Murong Kang burst into sorrowful wails, he and the cruel Lao San as well as Murong Dian had been separated for five years. In such a long time, he hadn't seen his two masters who had always doted on him, now suddenly hearing the news of their deaths, he was overcome with grief. He hated that he couldn't go up and kill Lin Zidao right away, but seeing that even his father wasn't making things difficult for him anymore, he could only crouch on the ground and cry bitterly. We can see how deeply Murong Kang loved his masters.

  "Father, let me go and kill his relatives! Only then can I relieve the hatred in my heart. If not, I will be ashamed of my fellow brothers under the nine springs!"

  Murong Kang suddenly stood up from the ground and begged Murong Hai.

  "Kang'er, don't be too heartbroken. Can'er and Ci'er are also my most satisfying disciples! I will definitely make that little brat suffer a thousand cuts and ten thousand boils! Then I'll cut off his head and place it in front of your senior brother's memorial tablet to pay respects!"

  Murong Hai patted his son's shoulder comfortingly and said.

  "Father, let me go avenge my brother! I must kill him with my own hands! Moreover, I want all his relatives to be buried together!"

  Murong Chui clenched his fists and said fiercely.

  "Good! You're indeed my son. I'll get Old Master Jin to follow you, and with that, I think that little scoundrel won't be able to escape! Can'er, Ci'er, watch from above how Kang'er helps you take revenge!"

  Murong Hai shouted loudly towards the cave.

  "Murong brother, I'm willing to make up for past mistakes, please give me one chance. I'll take the lead and go to that poor vegetable seller's home, and kill all his relatives!"

  Lin Zidao saw this good opportunity and hurriedly spoke out. He knew that his current crisis was basically no longer a threat, and now the most important thing was to kill Chen Pengpeng, so that his safety would be truly guaranteed. Now he didn't know how happy he was in his heart, his plan had succeeded, today for this matter from the Ghost Gate Pass walked one morning. It really wasn't easy, thinking about it in his heart still made him shudder.

  "Hum! Xing Lin's, if it weren't for calling my father to help you kill people, would my Shixiong (senior brother) and the others be dead? This is all because of you!"

  Murong Kang heard Lin Zidao speak and loudly shouted at him.

  "Kang Er, stop being reckless! From today on, our Murong family will no longer owe you any favors, Lin Zidao! You can take care of your own family's future from now on!"

  Murong Hai turned his back on Lin Zidao, and he no longer called him Brother Zidao. This shows that after the death of his two apprentices, the Murong family's favor to Lin Zidao was also considered repaid.

  "Murong... Master of the Murong family, I won't ask you to do anything else. I just want to use my own strength to avenge the two deceased Murong disciples! Please give me an opportunity, or I won't be able to live with myself!"

  Lin Zidao had originally wanted to call Mu Rong brother, but hearing the other party directly calling his own name, he couldn't open his mouth to call him brother. One must have a sense of shame in order to be human. His eyes suddenly turned around in a circle, he wouldn't rest easy if he didn't see Chen Pengpeng die with his own eyes. Now that Mu Ronghai wanted to send an elder to execute him, he was definitely going to go and personally witness Chen Pengpeng's miserable death. In this case, the Lin family would no longer have any worries.

  He actually didn't know that the change of events wasn't as simple as he thought, now C city has appeared with a storm. A force is secretly protecting the safety of Chen Peng's mother, while in the official circles, an armed force is really searching for Chen Peng's whereabouts, making the high officials of C city anxious and sweating.

  Inside the No. 7 prison, Leng Wuqing was holding the unconscious Chen Pengpeng. The flower prison guards nearby did not dare to get close to them half a step. He wanted to call Fan Qi, but thinking that the task Fan Qi had given him had been messed up, he had to flay him alive. Now he was like an ant on a hot pot, anxious and turning around in circles. All he could do was wait, hoping for a miraculous discovery. If not, his worst thought was to escape.

  Suddenly, the entire prison was filled with the sound of cars stopping. Teams of armed police got out of the vehicles, and the prison guards thought that so many armed personnel were sent by Fan Qie to catch the escaped prisoners. His heart suddenly became excited, he walked up to Leng Wuqing's face with a loud voice, his head held high. As if afraid that others wouldn't notice him, his mouth was raised like something, and seeing him made people want to beat him up badly.

  "Hey, Cold-blooded one, I advise you to put down Zhen Pongpang! Don't you see? Outside are all our people, they've come to surround us. Even if you have the best martial arts skills, can you withstand the onslaught of thousands of guns? At that time, I won't believe you won't be shot into a sieve!"

  The flower prison police patted the dust off his pants leg, wearing water shoes, and saw that he was in a daze. Whoever sees him wants to beat him up, when he's weak, he's like a stupid dog, but once his power grows stronger, he becomes arrogant and domineering.
