Super Rich Fantasy: I Grow Stronger By Spending Money-Chapter 367 - 367 Killing Intent Rises In the Dark Night

367 Killing Intent Rises In the Dark Night

Zhou Hong only had one son, and he would grant all his requests. Now that he saw Zhou Sheng’s cold corpse lying here, it was easy to imagine his mood.

His eyes were bloodshot, and a powerful suction force came from his palm. A disciple of the Five Poison Sect came in front of him uncontrollably, and he was immediately grabbed by the throat.

“Who killed my son?!”

“Great Elder, please spare me. Young Master’s body was found in the forest a hundred meters away from the sect. When we rushed over, he was already dead.”

“The young master’s fatal wound is on his abdomen. He used his own dagger, which was dipped in lethal poison...”

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhou Hong’s expression was terrifying to look at. He exerted more force in his hand and said in a dark tone, “Are you saying that my son committed suicide?”

The disciple looked into his scarlet eyes and Zhou Hong looked like a demon that had crawled out of hell. He tried his best to speak, but his throat felt like it was about to be crushed. He could only make incomprehensible croaking sounds.

The suffocating feeling made his body turn red, and his hands and feet kept struggling, but it was to no avail.

The people next to him lowered their heads even more. They didn’t dare to plead for mercy, for fear that Zhou Hong would vent his anger on them. Not long after, the disciple’s hands and feet went limp, and he was no longer breathing.

Zhou Hong threw him to the side as if he was throwing away some garbage. “You didn’t manage to keep a close eye on him. You deserve to die.”

The rest of the people trembled even more when they heard this, afraid that they would be next.

Zhou Sheng’s body was pale, his face was green, and his lips were black. It was indeed a sign of poisoning. The dagger in his abdomen was still there, which was also what he usually used. The poison on it came from the Five Poison Sect. Everything was exactly as the dead disciple had said.

But Zhou Hong didn’t believe him. He gritted his teeth and said, “There must be some conspiracy. My son was killed by a treacherous villain, but that villain set it up like this to deceive me.”

If Ye Xuan were here, he would definitely tell him that Zhou Sheng was just so unlucky to die at his own hands.

The people that Zhou Sheng had brought out were all dead, so Zhou Hong couldn’t get anything out of them. However, the disciples of the Valley of Medicine Masters that he had captured earlier had disappeared without a trace. This matter was definitely related to the Valley of Medicine Masters.

“The Valley of Medicine Masters and I are irreconcilable! I will make you pay with your blood!”

Zhou Hong was extremely sorrowful. In the blink of an eye, he revealed a ruthless expression that was like a cold wind blowing from the Nine Hells.

“Sheng’er, don’t worry, I will bathe the Valley of Medicine Masters in blood to comfort your dead soul. You can go on your way in peace.”

These words made people’s hair stand on end. There were hundreds of people in the Valley of Medicine Masters, and Zhou Hong’s words implied that he wanted all of them to be buried with Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Hong gathered his men and was ready to take action. However, a mysterious man strolled over, apparently having heard the news.

“Great Elder, you must not be impulsive. If you go now, it will not be beneficial to the ancestor’s plan. I hope you can consider the big picture.” 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮

The person was dressed in a black robe that covered his face. His voice was hoarse like an owl’s, and it had a hint of eeriness.

Zhou Hong’s face was ferocious and he was still angry, but his words were quite respectful to this man. He said, “My son died in the hands of the people from the Valley of Medicine Masters for no reason. How can I sit by and do nothing? I hope that Your Excellency will not stop me.”

“I understand how you feel, but this is what our ancestor wants. He told us to bide our time.”

Zhou Hong stopped in his tracks.

“The ancestor will be out of seclusion soon. If you ruin his plan at this time, you know his temper. Those who offend him will not have a good end.”

Zhou Hong seemed to have thought of something. Zhou Hong, the great elder, whose notoriety had spread far and wide, actually shuddered.

“The ancestor said that he will hand the murderer over to you to punish after the matter is over. It’s just a matter of waiting a few more days. Those who achieve great things don’t care about the trifles. You can understand his painstaking efforts, right?”

The mysterious man gave Zhou Hong a meaningful look.

The veins on Zhou Hong’s face were bulging. He subconsciously clenched his fists as he looked at Zhou Sheng’s cold corpse. In the end, he still nodded his head heavily.

“I’ll listen to the ancestor. When the great plan is about to succeed, I’ll burn that person’s bones and scatter his ashes. I’ll torture him to death, and his soul will fall into endless purgatory for all eternity!”

His roar startled the venomous insects at the door and caused them to flee in all directions. Even the Five Poison Sect disciples, who had long been used to the great elder’s ruthlessness, could not help but shiver.

This night was destined to not be peaceful, no matter what happened on the side of the Five Poison Sect.

Ye Xuan and Li Mao had just returned to the entrance of the Valley of Medicine Masters when they ran into the elders who were preparing to rescue them. Seeing that the two were safe and sound, everyone’s worried and anxious hearts finally settled down.

“Are you guys okay?”

“I have something to report to the valley master,” Li Mao said with a grave expression.

Zhou Sheng’s death was such a big matter, it must be reported to the Valley of Medicine Masters to make preparations, in case the Five Poison Sect came to find trouble and they were caught off guard. However, this matter was of great importance, and for the time being, it could not be known to others, so as not to cause panic among the disciples in the valley.

When Yao Tianchen heard this news, his expressionless face revealed a hint of shock, and the wrinkles between his brows were so deep and he furrowed his brows so much that it could almost squeeze a mosquito to death.

“To think that Zhou Sheng is dead!”

Zhou Hong was already known to be a ruthless madman. Now that his only son had died, he was going to go even crazier.

He sized up Ye Xuan and Li Mao. He didn’t expect the two to be so skillful. He asked, “Did you kill him?”

Li Mao quickly explained, “It wasn’t us. He died at his own hands.”

After listening to their story, Yao Tianchen revealed a look of disbelief. He glanced at Ye Xuan beside him with a complicated expression.

If it wasn’t for Li Mao’s honest personality and his inability to lie, he would have suspected that Li Mao and Ye Xuan had colluded to make up such a lie.

However, he trusted the two of them and there was no need for them to lie.

“Valley Master, please believe in me. I am willing to use my dignity to guarantee that what I said is not false.”
