Chapter 129 Wei Sandao
At first, he relied on decrypting and digging out the clue that there was a strange bloody scent in the woods, which allowed him to avoid a certain-death situation.
Afterwards, he continued to look for ways to kill Steward Wu.
Since Jiang Xiaoyu couldn’t overpower Steward Wu, he had no option but to use the strength of others to kill Steward Wu.
Once he had this idea, Li Muyang began running around Black Cloud Fort and the caves behind the mountains, contacting all NPCs, and eventually discovered a Demon Cultivator NPC who bore a grudge against Steward Wu.
The leader of these foreign Demon Cultivators was the mysterious Temple-Sealing Lord, with three cave masters and eighteen stewards under him.
One of the stewards, named Wei Sandao, had a grudge against Steward Wu.
This Wei Sandao usually hid deep inside the cave, never setting foot outside, almost invisible.
Li Muyang had discovered this NPC by chance and was directly killed by him when they first met.
Because Wei Sandao found out Li Muyang was one of Steward Wu’s men, he drew his knife and chopped Li Muyang as soon as they met.
After reloading his game, Li Muyang immediately said he hated Steward Wu when they met, and only then was he not killed by Wei Sandao.
"You say you hate Steward Wu, how can you prove it?"
Wei Sandao questioned.
Li Muyang directly said to him, "To tell you the truth, I have always been oppressed by the Wu surname and have long wanted to kill him. If given the chance, I must kill Steward Wu."
This was the perfect response Li Muyang came up with after dying over sixty times.
Sure enough, after he spoke, Wei Sandao let out a cold laugh.
"Want to kill the Wu surname? Well, I just happen to have a way that can kill the Wu surname, just not sure if you dare to do it."
Wei Sandao offered a method, and Li Muyang nodded repeatedly.
"Good! Please, senior, show me the way!"
Thus, Li Muyang listened to Wei Sandao’s plan and followed his instructions to make arrangements in advance, eventually luring Steward Wu out alone at night.
In the sinister moonlit woods, Steward Wu in black robe frowned and said. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"In the dead of night, was what you just said true?"
Li Muyang, holding Little Wild Grass’s hand under the moonlight, stopped walking, turned back to Steward Wu, and chuckled.
"Steward Wu, here’s the thing..."
"I indeed heard that Wei Sandao saying he wants to kill you, and I heard him saying he found ’that thing’."
Li Muyang sneakily glanced around before adding in a low voice.
"How dare I deceive you!"
"After I followed Wei Sandao back, I immediately came to find you."
Li Muyang looked visibly concerned, glancing around warily.
His skittish behavior displeased Steward Wu.
Steward Wu snorted coldly, "Stop looking. It’s just the three of us here, just tell me where that thing is hidden by Wei Sandao."
"You said you followed him and saw with your own eyes that he buried that thing in the back mountain, right?"
The sinister look in Steward Wu’s eyes was as if he was ready to kill.
Whenever Wei Sandao was mentioned, Steward Wu became like a keg of gunpowder about to explode, his entire demeanor entering a frenzied state.
"If you really find that thing, the reward for you, lad, won’t be shortchanged by a penny."
"But if I find out that you’re playing me, then you’re as good as dead!"
Steward Wu’s face was dark with anger.
Li Muyang hastily said, "It’s over here, I saw with my own eyes Wei Sandao burying the thing."
"He kept mumbling something about finally finding it, but I don’t know what it is..."
Steward Wu snorted coldly, "What he cares about so much must certainly be that thing. In any case, you just need to lead the way. Even if it is not what I am looking for, if we can really unearth what Wei Sandao buried, it would count as your achievement."
Steward Wu’s tone softened a bit, and Li Muyang immediately showed a smile.
"Alright! Steward Wu, please follow me this way..."
Li Muyang, leading Little Wild Grass, took the lead.
The three of them stepped into the dark forest bathed in moonlight, constantly moving forward under the guidance of Li Muyang.
However, as they walked farther and farther, they traversed several kilometers in the woods, having left Black Cloud Fort far behind.
But Steward Wu was not impatient. Instead, excitement ignited in his expression.
For as they continued onward, a faint smell of blood gradually began to waft through the air.
The scent of blood grew stronger, as if they were getting closer to their destination.
Eventually, Li Muyang and his two companions arrived at the entrance of a gloomy cave.
Pointing at the pitch-black cave in front, Li Muyang cautiously said.
"It’s inside here. I was hiding outside and saw him enter for a long time, with sounds of digging. Wei Sandao must have buried that thing inside the cave."
The smell of blood at the entrance of the cave was extremely strong, clearly indicating the source was nearby.
Steward Wu took a deep breath and snorted coldly.
"You two wait here for me; I’ll go take a look inside."
Having said that, Steward Wu stepped directly into the pitch-black cave.
Seeing Steward Wu entering the cave, Li Muyang promptly retreated with Little Wild Grass.
Inside the dark cave, Steward Wu’s excited laughter could soon be heard.
"It is actually here... hahaha... hahaha! I found it!"
"Damn Wei Sandao! Did you think that I couldn’t find it just because you hid it? Hahaha..."
Steward Wu laughed excitedly.
It was the first time the usually somber and taciturn Steward Wu showed such excitement.
But in the next second, a flash of cold light shot through the cave.
Immediately after, Steward Wu’s voice, filled with shock and rage, bellowed out. Stay updated through empire
"Wei Sandao? You despicable scoundrel! You dare to ambush..."
Wei Sandao’s sinister laughter echoed within the cave.
"Mr. Wu, you didn’t expect this, did you! All your schemes, and yet you’ll die by my hand! Die!"
Inside the cave, flashes of light and bursts of explosion sounded continuously; the fight was obviously fierce.
But Li Muyang had already taken Little Wild Grass far away, only to see the cave collapse amidst the roaring sounds.
The battle beneath the earth continued nonetheless.
Tremors spread outward, causing minor earthquakes in the region.
It took about ten minutes before the earthquake finally stopped and vanished.
Then a figure burst forth from the collapsed underground, breaking through the soil.
Under the moonlight, the figure was topped with a blood bar labeled [Wei Sandao].
"Hehe... Boy, this Mr. Wu really trusted you, didn’t he? He actually let you lead him here."
Wei Sandao, covered in blood, chuckled heartily.
In his hand, he was clutching a throbbing heart.
Wei Sandao hurled it forcefully, and the heart flew across the forest, caught by Li Muyang.
"I promised you that if I won, I’d cut out the heart of this scoundrel for you."
"Now that you have the heart, you can go."
