Chapter 613: Accusations
"What strange opponent? What’s the opponent’s name?" Someone asked.
Hearing the question, Jiang Yue fell into thought.
He tried to recall the opponent’s name but those years were a bit of a blur.
After all, he fought one opponent after another.
In time, the faces and names ceased to matter.
All that mattered was securing the victory and surviving another day.
Thinking of those days, Jiang Yue shrugged and sighed.
"I don’t remember." He said.
"If the opponent was so strange, how could you not remember their name?" A Fang family argued.
"I would remember her name if she was still alive. However, she is dead. There is no reason to keep her in my mind." Jiang Yue smiled.
When they saw the smile, the Fang family subtly looked at each other.
’What’s with these two people?’ Several people wondered.
After all, surname Jiang and surname Yu didn’t look like fools.
By now, they should have realised the Fang family was against them.
However, the two people weren’t rattled.
Instead, they still seemed to be watching a good show.
"Your words are sophistry." Someone said and Jiang Yue raised an eyebrow in question.
"If you have nothing to do with the Five Poisons sect and the ancestor killer, why don’t you reveal your names so that we can confirm?"
"My Fang family searched the Cangxing world for the soul-cleansing grass but didn’t find a stalk. Where is the ancient garden you mentioned? Is it in the Five Poisons sect?"
"I also think the soul-cleansing pills came from the Five Poisons sect. There must be something wrong with the pills."
"What about the eighth brother? Has he already been killed?"
"Surname Yu, surname Jiang, reveal your identities if you want us to believe you."
"Why?" Jiang Yue asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Why would we want you to believe us?" Jiang Yue sneered and soon continued.
"My Taoist companion and I are in a business relationship with the Fang family. We delivered the pills. The eighth young master took the pills and got better. It’s now time for the Fang family to fulfil its end of the business."
"In what way is our identity related to the business at hand?" Jiang Yue asked and looked at Fang Tiancheng.
"Does the Alchemy City intend to renege on its end of the transaction?" He asked with a curious expression.
Hearing the question and seeing the expression, Fang Tiancheng frowned.
Ten million immortal stones were nothing to a sixth-level alchemist.
However, like the rest of the Fang family, Fang Tiancheng was interested in the ancient garden.
If he completed the transaction, he worried the two people would disappear without a trace.
Because of this, Fang Tiancheng wanted to delay the matter until the identity of the two people was thoroughly investigated.
After that, he would decide based on what he found.
Thinking of this, Fang Tiancheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people with a solemn expression.
"My Fang family...." Fang Tiancheng started but didn’t get a chance to finish.
When he was speaking, five people suddenly flew into the compound.
Of the five, one was a woman and the rest were men.
However, all were mid-stage nascent soul realm cultivators.
"We have seen the elders." The Fang family immediately greeted the five.
[They must be the honorary elders of the Fang family.] Jiang Yue transmitted.
[Mmmm.] Yu Nianzhen nodded; his eyes narrowed into slits.
[The woman is a swordsman. Her sword aura is leaking out.]
"Old Fang, why did you summon us?" The woman asked.
The female cultivator was a casual cultivator named Wang Luo.
As Yu Nianzhen speculated, she was a popular swordsman in the Cangxing world.
"Look at that." Fang Tiancheng tipped his head towards Qiao Mu.
Seeing this, the honorary elders turned to look.
However, when they saw the centipede, they subconsciously frowned.
"Is that the ancestor killer? What’s going on?" Another honorary elder asked.
His name was Liu Zhongxiong.
Looking at his burly physique and surging blood, one could immediately tell he was a martial artist.
"Five elders, Aunt Qiao has been attacked." The seventh young master, Fang Min, said.
Hearing this, Wang Luo almost rolled her eyes.
’We have eyes and can see that.’ She thought.
However, she maintained an impassive expression and questioned the young man.
"Why did the ancestor killer attack concubine Qiao."
"Aunt Qiao was drinking tea when the ancestor killer suddenly attacked her. However, ..." Fang Min looked at Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen.
"Boy, speak properly." Liu Zhongxiong impatiently urged.
"We suspect these two are poison masters from the Five Poisons sect. They are likely controlling the ancestor killer."
"How boring." Jiang Yue muttered, leaning on Yu Nianzhen.
"Do you mean to imply the ancestor killer will stop attacking the thirteenth concubine when we are dead?" Jiang Yue asked with a hint of amusement in his voice.
"You are so young but have such a vicious mind. Young man, you should correct your ways."
"Who are you?" A third honorary elder asked.
At this time, Li Chen stepped forward.
"Five Elders, these two are the saviours of the eighth young master." The housekeeper said.
"Saviours? Has the eighth young master recovered?" Wang Luo asked.
"The luck of my Fang family is still strong and has blessed the eighth young master."
"Is that so?" Wang Luo nodded, vaguely understanding the situation.
"It’s more important to deal with the ancestor killer." Fang Tiancheng suddenly said.
"We can talk about other matters after the ancestor killer dies."
"This..." one of the elders fearfully looked at the ancestor killer.
"For some reason, the ancestor killer is attached to Qiao Mu. This is the best chance to kill it." Fang Tiancheng said.
Knowing they didn’t have a choice, the honorary elders wore masks and walked towards Qiao Mu.
Seeing this, Jiang Yue smiled.
’I don’t intend to interfere any further. What happens next is up to your fates.’ Jiang Yue thought and released his control over the ancestor killer.
