Zhao Shuning, hiding in the dark, was slightly startled by Zhang Tianyuan's words.
She knew Zhang Tianyuan was cruel and ruthless, but she never expected him to say such things.
Moreover, when he said those words, he held his breath, exuding a strong sense of killing intent. It was obvious that he was very serious. If these people continued to talk, he might really take action against these fellow disciples.
After a moment's thought, Zhao Shuning understood.
When they were at the Second Height, she was also his junior sister. Wasn't he equally cruel and ruthless, leaving no room for mercy as he forced her to jump off the cliff?
However, Zhao Shuning turned misfortune into good fortune. After falling into the undercurrent river, the benefits she gained were far beyond what she could have achieved in the training ground.
Moreover, she had made a new discovery, a discovery that was worth most of the hopes in her life.
"Student Zhang, are you crazy?"
Huang Sheng quickly winked at Zhang Tianyuan.
As the person in charge of the Misty Rain Tower, he didn't even dare to say such things to the third - level students. Their strength was no ordinary matter, for they had managed to be promoted to the third level.
"Teacher Huang, what are you afraid of? You're the person in charge. Their lives mean nothing to you."
"If Master Chen finds out what I've done and reports it to the tower master, my life will be over."
Zhang Tianyuan disdainfully glanced at Huang Sheng and then said, "Even if you don't kill them, you won't be able to escape Kong Ye's punishment after we leave the Enchanted Forest. Teacher Huang, don't you remember? Previously, in order to deal with Su Nian, you even dragged Kong Shishuang into it. Now that I think about it, it's very likely that Kong Shishuang died in the enchanted cave."
"Su Nian led Kong Shishuang. What does it have to do with me?"
"It doesn't have much to do with you, but Teacher Huang, don't forget that Kong Ye is an alchemist. Recently, I heard that he should have reached the fourth rank. You know, a fourth - rank alchemist can communicate with monsters. And Kong Ye only has Kong Shishuang as his relative. He will surely come here personally to look for her. By then, if he communicates with the Zhuyan and the Huodou, do you think your deeds will be exposed?"
Huang Sheng was shocked.
He stared at Zhang Tianyuan, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
This student named Zhang Tianyuan was really - so terrifying. It wasn't his strength that was terrifying, but his character. He could say such cruel words in such a calm tone.
"Look, now they've become much quieter."
Huang Sheng said blankly, "Aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid of what? Afraid that they'll report me? Do you think they have the guts?"
Zhang Tianyuan scanned the crowd. People in the jianghu, regardless of age, mostly wanted to stay in a corner and were not the kind to cause trouble. They were always timid and didn't know how to resist. It was precisely because Zhang Tianyuan grasped this weakness that he had been able to manage them so well for the past two years.
As for those who didn't obey, just kill them.
"Zhang Tianyuan, who on earth are you?"
Huang Sheng murmured this question and felt as if a strange emotion flashed in Zhang Tianyuan's eyes.
"Who else could I be? Teacher Huang, the person in charge of the Misty Rain Tower should have investigated my background long ago. You know exactly where I come from. Now, I'm just suggesting the most compromising solution. Aren't you afraid that these people will report you after they go back, that you'll lose your job in the Misty Rain Tower and be reviled by everyone in the Eastern Ze Wilderness? Then it's better for us to eliminate this possibility at the root, isn't it?"
How could Zhang Tianyuan say such things?
"Besides, Teacher Huang, the methods you used many years ago weren't exactly honorable. If it weren't for you, Teacher Su might have had a chance to become a five - path spiritual herbalist by now."
Huang Sheng frowned and let out a sigh after a while.
"Are you sure you want to go back and report me to Master Chen?"
At this moment, Huang Sheng's body seemed like a demon emerging from the land of darkness.
"What? Are you scared now? No one dares to speak? But it's too late. You've already had this thought, and I definitely won't let you stay."
Huang Sheng raised his hands, gathering spiritual power. After all, he was a fourth - stage spiritual herbalist. As soon as he started to gather power, the power gathered in the center of his palms faintly emitted the sound of thunder. At this time, most of these students were seriously injured. If Huang Sheng launched this attack, most of them would die on the spot.
Zhao Shuning looked at Zhang Tianyuan standing in the shadows.
She cursed, "This Zhang Tianyuan is so sinister."
He only needed to move his lips to persuade someone of Huang Sheng's level to do things for him. Huang Sheng probably didn't know that if today's events got out, he would just be a scapegoat. Zhang Tianyuan, who hadn't taken any action and was just a student, could simply show a bit of weakness and explain, and the academy definitely wouldn't hold him accountable.
But it was different for Huang Sheng. He was, in a sense, paving the way for Zhang Tianyuan with his own future.
Moreover, he had personally handed his own weakness into Zhang Tianyuan's hands.
From now on, even though Huang Sheng was a person in charge, he would be inferior to this young man, Zhang Tianyuan.
Should she save those indignant disciples of the Tianyuan Sparrow Sect? If she saved them, there would be no reward. Zhao Shuning didn't want to be a good - Samaritan. Moreover, they had targeted Shui Yunsheng quite a bit recently. If she didn't let them suffer a bit this time, Zhao Shuning would never be able to calm down.
But if she just watched them die at Huang Sheng's hands, Zhao Shuning felt that she still had a bit of responsibility. After all, it was she who had released the Huodou and provoked the Zhuyan. If they weren't so seriously injured, they wouldn't be so helpless and at Huang Sheng's mercy.
"These are all experts. How about -"
Zhao Shuning grinned. Yes, she thought of the venomous snakes, so what she was thinking now was to play the same old trick.
Zhao Shuning covered her face tightly and then swallowed a voice - changing pill. Just as Huang Sheng's spiritual weapon was about to touch the crowd, with a gentle wave of her hand, she easily formed a spiritual power shield.
"Ding -"
The sound of the spiritual weapon hitting the shield.
"Zi -"
Immediately afterwards, countless sparks flashed where the spiritual weapon collided with the shield. Everyone quickly covered their eyes. After the sparks subsided, they quickly looked around, searching for the person who had just made the move.
"An alchemist?"
"Such a high rank? Could there be an elder sitting in the Enchanted Forest?"
Huang Sheng was also disrupted by this sudden change. Looking flustered, he said, "Who is the expert? Could you please come out and show yourself?"
