Chapter 188: Killing with a Borrowed Knife
He really is something else!
How could Xiao Yun guess that Zhou Jinian would die?
Could it be that this oddball is like those legendary enlightened beings in folklore, able to predict the future?
For a moment, Ouyang Bing forgot her earlier annoyance with Xiao Yun and quickly dialed his number.
“Xiao Yun, a body has been found at the foot of Fuhu Mountain. Uh, I hope you can come take a look!” Ouyang Bing said urgently.
On the other end, Xiao Yun replied, “Okay, let’s meet at the foot of Fuhu Mountain!”
Ouyang Bing is that kind of person; she is a complete workaholic. Although she sometimes gets so angry with Xiao Yun that it hurts her heart, work always comes first.
But after she hung up the phone, thoughts of him and An Yiran together under one umbrella flooded her mind, stirring up an indescribable feeling inside her, causing her chest to rise and fall…
…
Xiao Yun put away his phone and suddenly stood up in front of Duan Haoran's grave.
“Xiao Yun… who just called you?” An Yiran asked in surprise upon seeing Xiao Yun's sudden change in expression.
“It was Ouyang Bing!” Xiao Yun replied.
“Why did she call you?” An Yiran's tone immediately filled with hostility.
Xiao Yun furrowed his brows slightly and said, "Sister Yiran, someone has found the body of the former Criminal Investigation Team leader Zhou Jinian at the foot of the mountain. If I guess correctly, Gu Tianfeng hasn't escaped Galaxy City yet!"
Gu Tianfeng?
Upon hearing this name, An Yiran's eyes filled with murderous intent. If it weren't for him, how could the Duan Group have been destroyed? How could Grandpa Duan, who treated her like his own granddaughter, have passed away?
That treacherous bastard!
"I want to go with you!" An Yiran insisted.
"This..." Xiao Yun hesitated slightly.
Xiao Yun didn't want to leave An Yiran behind; he was worried about what might happen if she and Ouyang Bing met again.
An Yiran could see through Xiao Yun's thoughts and said, "Don't worry, I won't argue with that Ouyang Bing anymore!"
Xiao Yun nodded and said, "Alright!"
The two quickly left the Tomb, hailed a taxi at the entrance, and headed straight to the Rose Garden Community. Xiao Yun retrieved Tang Yan's White Volkswagen Polo from his villa's garage, and they jumped in, speeding towards Fuhu Mountain...
...
At this moment, in Beijing's Song Family.
In the stone house training room in the backyard of the Song Family, Song Chaoyang sat in the center with a gloomy expression. Beside him were his two sons, the eldest Song Tianlong and the second son Song Tianxing. On the other side was the Witch Flower Maiden, who had just been recalled from Galaxy City, along with some others from the Ancient Martial Arts Sect.
Song Tianlong did not resemble his father Song Chaoyang or his brother Song Tianxing at all. He had a round face with big ears and a large belly. He wore a white shirt tucked into dress pants and round-toed leather shoes. His hair was neatly combed and slicked back. With his hands crossed over his belly, he presented a typical official demeanor.
Meanwhile, Song Tianxing, who was missing an arm, looked nothing like the handsome figure he had been when he first appeared at Galaxy City's airport exit. His nose was crooked, his mouth was askew with drool dripping from it, his gaze was vacant, and his expression was blank—he had completely turned into a shell of a person.
Song Chaoyang looked at his son, whom he usually relied on the most, feeling a wave of heartache.
Beside him, Witch Flower Maiden discreetly took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her face.
For the various people in the martial world that the Song Family had gathered, although they were treated well with food and drink and had whatever they needed, raising soldiers for a thousand days was for a moment of use. If the tasks assigned were not completed, they would inevitably face the cruelest punishment upon their return.
Fortunately, this time when Witch Flower Maiden returned, Song Chaoyang did not impose any punishment on her; instead, he comforted her with a few words.
This made her feel even more anxious and unsettled, unsure of what Song Chaoyang was thinking.
Cough cough...
Witch Flower Maiden coughed lightly and cautiously looked at Song Chaoyang, saying, “Boss, may I ask why you urgently summoned me back to Beijing? Although I failed twice against that person named Xiao, I will remain hidden in Galaxy City to seek another opportunity…”
“No need,” Song Chaoyang said with an even darker expression. “From today onward, we are temporarily canceling the plan against that person named Xiao!”
!!!
Everyone present, except for Song Tianxing, who was grinning foolishly at the side, was taken aback.
Canceled?
Did he no longer want the blood of that person named Xiao?
In truth, Song Chaoyang wanted the blood of Xiao Yun very much. However, Xiao Yun was simply too terrifying. He had repeatedly sent people to the Galaxy, and each time they returned in utter defeat—from the Sky Valley Trio to Orchid Daoist, and even his precious son Song Tianxing…
The reason he desperately wanted to obtain Xiao Yun's blood was merely to quickly reach the highest realm during his cultivation. At that point, he could dominate the world with his martial prowess. But given the current reality, this difficulty was indeed quite high.
Fortunately, before Song Tianxing suffered serious injury, he had sent back contact information regarding Wilson from Galaxy City. Immediately, Song Chaoyang dispatched someone with generous gifts to America to make contact with Wilson.
What Song Chaoyang never expected was that the person he sent to investigate secretly found out that Wilson was indeed not an ordinary person. In addition to having his own businesses around the world, he also had another extremely secret identity...
When Song Tianxing was brought back to Beijing, Song Chaoyang felt as if he had fallen into an ice pit. Damn it, where did this Xiao Yun get such great power? Not only did he eliminate the mutated Orchid Daoist, but he also made my two most beloved women from the Demonic Sect disappear...
Hmph, since I can't deal with this kid, why not use a borrowed knife to kill?
Song Chaoyang knew that Wilson would definitely be interested in the blood of Xiao Yun. That blood contained the essence of the Ethereal Stone. Every drop was more precious than rare treasures, making it incredibly valuable for practitioners of Ancient Martial Arts.
It seems that I can only borrow Wilson's power now...
At this moment, Song Tianlong, who had been silent, curled his lips and said, "Dad, our defeat at the Galaxy has severely weakened our Song Family. If we just give up like this, sooner or later, if this news reaches the Wang, Zhao, and Ma families, won't they laugh at us? Besides, they already see our Song Family as a thorn in their side. I'm afraid they will take advantage of this situation and leave us struggling to cope!"
Song Chaoyang sneered coldly, "You overestimate those three families. With their current influence in Beijing, they can't shake our foundation at all. Moreover, just because I gave up on obtaining Xiao Yun's blood doesn't mean I will easily let him go. Many people from my Song Family have died at his hands; how can I not seek revenge for this?"
Saying this, he waved his hand and said, "Tianlong, Tianxing, you two stay. The rest of you can leave!"
Upon hearing this, Witch Flower Maiden and the others quickly bowed and exited the stone chamber.
Song Tianlong glanced disdainfully at Song Tianxing. He didn't understand why their father kept this useless brother around. Deep down, he harbored a deep-seated hatred for him; over the years, their father had almost only seen him and never regarded himself.
Once everyone had left, Song Tianlong closed the door and asked, "Dad, do you have something to instruct me?"
After a moment's thought, Song Chaoyang replied, "Tianlong, now that your brother has become like this, the hope of the Song Family rests on your shoulders. Do you know? I have already sent someone to infiltrate Wilson's side. According to reliable information, this time the destruction of the Galaxy Duan Clan due to drug manufacturing is closely related to Wilson. After I informed him about the miraculous uses of Xiao Yun's blood, he ordered a man named Gu Tianfeng, who had previously infiltrated the Duan Family, to cooperate with Zhou Jinian to ambush and kill Xiao Yun, seizing his blood."
Song Tianxing said, "Dad's plan to use a borrowed knife is indeed clever. On one hand, it can gain Wilson's trust; on the other hand, it can avenge my second brother against Xiao Yun. However, I'm worried that with just their strength alone, can they really handle that guy named Xiao?"
"Haha..." Song Chaoyang grinned maliciously. "Even if they can't deal with Xiao Yun, if he provokes Wilson's people, it will already be a disaster for him!"
"Why?" Song Tianlong asked in confusion.
Song Chaoyang said, "There are some things you don't need to know for now. When the time comes for you to know, I will tell you."
I can't believe this old man is trying to be mysterious with me!
Song Tianlong felt very displeased but dared not show any dissatisfaction on his face.
Although he was currently the only active male among the younger generation of the Song Family, if he really offended this old man, who could guarantee that he wouldn't find a few more sons outside to replace him?
"Dad, don't worry. Whatever you say, I will do as your son!" Song Tianlong replied.
At this moment, Song Chaoyang turned his sinister gaze toward Song Tianxing, and said to Song Tianlong, "Tianlong, they say a tiger does not eat its cubs, but you should know the rules of the Song Family: survival of the fittest. We do not raise idiots in the Song Family. I leave this brother of yours to you!"
Having said that, Song Chaoyang suddenly waved his sleeve and strode out the door. A gust of autumn wind hit him, and tears rolled from his eyes.
In an instant, he wiped away the tears and returned to his usual cold and ruthless demeanor.
Whoosh!
Inside the stone house, Song Tianlong drew a short knife from his body; the cold gleam flashed as he unexpectedly stabbed it into Song Tianxing's fatal spot.
Song Tianxing fell into a pool of blood with a silly smile...
