Chapter 1340: Chapter 864: Master of Bone Pavilion (Part 4)
Moreover, Yang Xiao thought that sending a protector to lead the team to chase Song Ziming, a Ghost Level impostor, would suffice. It was unlikely that other experts were lurking nearby.
After all, experts were quite busy.
Nevertheless, it’s best to be cautious. He planned to take Sui Chengguo and Song Ziming with him, and make sure to inform the uncles and brothers at the hotel before setting off.
To be frank, Yang Xiao was also worried about failing unexpectedly, especially since he hadn’t truly confronted the members of this sect before.
Last time, during the secret tournament at Ru Lin Academy, a high-ranking expert from the Withered Bone Pavilion showed impressive aura, but was pre-emptively taken down by the first Venerable One from Yu Yuan Sect’s Xiu Sect.
After hearing about the incident, Tong Han came to consult with Yang Xiao. She believed the matter required careful deliberation, as those from the Withered Bone Pavilion were not fools. They might have already discovered that Song Ziming had sought refuge with the town’s powers.
And only the town’s three major families could accommodate someone like Song Ziming, a Ghost-level Apostle.
Originally, there were four families, but Marquis Zhenbei was electrocuted into a roasted chicken by experts sent from the General Bureau, and he succumbed to his wounds. Now only three families remain.
If these folks were mysteriously eliminated, then the remaining experts from the Withered Bone Pavilion definitely wouldn’t let it slide. The next time they come, they’d be more troublesome, and they’d target the town’s three families.
It’s not that they’re afraid of them coming; it’s just that while they’re not afraid of thieves stealing, they dread thieves holding a grudge. They can’t possibly keep a perfectly tight defense all the time. Once experts like Yang Xiao and Sui aren’t around, they’d suffer greatly.
Tong Han, on the other hand, wasn’t worried for her own safety, but this power was ultimately Yang Xiao’s. If it were destroyed, she felt she couldn’t face Yang Xiao.
"Don’t worry, I have a plan." Yang Xiao motioned Tong Han to sit down and gave her a reassuring glance. "It’s true that I’m the one taking action to take them down, but I won’t take the credit. That goes to the Patrol Defense Office."
"You plan to eliminate them in the name of the Patrol Defense Office?" Tong Han’s eyes lit up.
"Of course, the team that acts is led by Pingxi Marquis of Xiang Ma Town, but the credit goes to the Rongcheng Patrol Division, how about that?" Yang Xiao said with a smile.
"The duty of the Patrol Defense Office is to maintain local peace and eradicate Evil Cultivators. This way, it truly has nothing to do with us," Tong Han nodded. "Even if they want revenge, they can’t pin it on you. Besides, the influence of the Withered Bone Pavilion isn’t active in Jiangbei Province; I doubt they’d send someone a long way for revenge on the Rongcheng Patrol Division."
"But..." Tong Han frowned, "What about Song Ziming? He’s a problem. If the Withered Bone Pavilion doesn’t find him, I think this matter won’t be over."
"He’s simple. After the matter is done, I’ll take action to deal with him directly, just leave his body at the scene. Later, have the Patrol Defense Office spread the word that Song Ziming defected and summoned the Patrol Defense Office, acting as a guide, but was also killed in the crossfire. I’ll publish his body, and hold a celebration." Yang Xiao said lightly.
"Celebration?" Tong Han was taken aback.
"No, to be precise, a recognition ceremony. I’ll invite two friends over to take the credit, let them show up in the Rongcheng Patrol Division’s grand hall." Yang Xiao said with a sinister grin, showing a mouthful of white teeth.
Seeing this smile, Tong Han unexpectedly felt relieved. She knew Yang Xiao was about to fool someone again.
"Who are you tricking this time?" Tong Han asked curiously.
"Tsk!" Yang Xiao looked dissatisfied but then put on a smiling face again. "Last time in Rongcheng, Qiu Huai De heavily funded Marquis Zhengdong and An Nan Marquis, those two dogs, to attack me. Now that Qiu Huai De is dead, I still have a score to settle with those two!"
"Once I take out this Bone Burning Taoist, I’ll spread the news that the success of the assault was thanks to the cooperation of Marquis Zhengdong and An Nan Marquis. I’ll have the Provincial Office preside, in the grand thousand-person hall, and award them the Good Citizen Award!" Yang Xiao laughed.
"Would they actually go for such a thing?" Tong Han thought those two wouldn’t be so stupid.
"Heh, they’ll have no choice." Yang Xiao’s expression turned somber, "I’ll have the Provincial Office make it clear to them: either behave obediently, or... we’ll pin the murder of Qiu Huai De on them!"
Now that Qiu Huai De is dead, the Rongcheng Union is led by Fu Qingzhu. As long as Fu Qingzhu steps up to accuse those two of assaulting me and President Qiu, even if Marquis Zhengdong and An Nan Marquis had mouths all over, they couldn’t talk their way out. Moreover, there’s the testimony from the Patrol Defense Office.
Knowing it’s a mouthful of crap, Yang Xiao still wanted to watch them eat it. Those two have caused no small trouble for him.
If it weren’t for the Peace Hotel needing to maintain stability with the town’s powers, Yang Xiao would have definitely partnered with Sui and the Mirror Ghost to take out those two.
After all this, if the Withered Bone Pavilion’s people come for revenge, that would be great. They could use their hands to get rid of those two eyesores.
At the same time, they could also ask the uncles to take action and eliminate those Withered Bone Pavilion experts who dared to wreak havoc in the town.
Even if the Master of Bone Pavilion came personally, Yang Xiao wouldn’t fear him—no, wait, it should be said that his uncle wouldn’t fear him either.
Back then, Sheng Yanlin had commented on the Netherworld Realm experts within Yang Xiao’s knowledge, with the top tier being Yang Yunluo of Ru Lin Academy, Elder Sheng’s obnoxious brother Sheng Jingxuan, the deputy leader of the Black Wood Society, Wakatou, and the Master of Bone Pavilion among them.
Among these four, Yang Yunluo was slightly stronger.
The other three were not too different, meaning the Master of Bone Pavilion and Sheng Jingxuan were in the same league.
But the Second Demon Uncle had once said,
