Eternal Saber-Chapter 332 - 53: Justice

Seeing Chen Tang and Ye Yushi right in front of him but unable to touch them, Wind Mastiff felt bored, yawned, and said, "Still have to wait until tomorrow before sunset, I won’t wait around here, I’ll come back tomorrow."

"Gu Chun, you stay here and keep watch. If Lady Yun isn’t careful and they escape, it would be a big problem."

Before leaving, Wind Mastiff joked half-heartedly and left one of the gray-robed men behind.

"Yes."

Gu Chun nodded slightly, then expressionlessly walked to the side, grabbed a chair, and sat in the hall to keep watch.

Wind Mastiff swaggered away.

Lady Yun frowned.

She recognized the two following Wind Mastiff, one named Gu Chun, the other named Xu Ye, both Upper Concealment, Third Grade Martial Artists.

This Wind Mastiff looked erratic and reckless, but was very meticulous in his thoughts.

This person suspected her, so he specially left behind an Upper Concealment.

As far as she knew, these two had opened six meridians many years ago.

Now, they were very likely to have opened the seventh meridian!

Even among Third Grade Martial Artists, these two could definitely be called experts.

"Old Feng’s body..."

Chen Tang asked.

Liu Shou said, "Don’t worry, we’ll give him a proper burial."

Chen Tang nodded, looked at Lady Yun, mouthed four silent words.

Lady Yun glanced, then lowered her head, expressionless.

Chen Tang picked up the Flood Dragon Bow and Arrows, and went upstairs with Ye Yushi.

Back in the room, Ye Yushi asked, "What do you plan to do?" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Their original plan clearly wouldn’t work anymore.

Now, with Gu Chun guarding the hall, the main door was not an option.

No one knew how many eyes were around the Shadow Tower, even if they jumped out the window, they would be immediately discovered.

Chen Tang said, "Let’s go back to rest, gather strength, and talk about it tomorrow."

Ye Yushi was silent, just looked deeply at Chen Tang, then turned to leave.

Chen Tang looked at the Flood Dragon Bow left by Old Feng, and a bag of Feathered Arrows.

On it, there were still some of Old Feng’s bloodstains.

Chen Tang picked up the Flood Dragon Bow, set his stance, and exerted force with both hands!

Hmm?

Using seventy percent of his strength, he couldn’t even draw the Flood Dragon Bow fully!

Indeed it was a Strong Bow!

The arrow bag next to it, each Feathered Arrow was hefty, substantial in weight.

An arrow shot from this bow would carry extraordinary power, so immense that a Fifth Grade Martial Artist wouldn’t be able to withstand it head-on with Inner Qi!

Chen Tang slung the bow and arrows over his back, sat cross-legged on the bed, not intending to rest, but instead exercised the Visualization Method to restore the Power of the Divine Soul.

Today was New Year’s Day, he originally didn’t want any more killing.

But Old Feng’s death once again stirred his killing heart!

By midnight, the surroundings of the Shadow Tower were silent.

Chen Tang got out of bed, quietly opened the door.

Before long, Lady Yun came to the door.

Before going upstairs, Chen Tang had, in a silent manner, conveyed four words: "Go upstairs at midnight."

He believed, Lady Yun should understand those four words.

Lady Yun entered the room and softly asked, "What do you want with me?"

"I want to ask Lady Yun for a favor."

Chen Tang said, "Consider it me owing you a favor."

At this moment, the only person he could ask for help was Lady Yun.

Lady Yun probably guessed what Chen Tang wanted, smiled faintly, and said, "It’s better if you don’t ask, once you do, it puts me in a difficult position."

Chen Tang remained silent, awaiting Lady Yun’s decision.

"Letting you two leave the Shadow Tower is fine, but I can’t guarantee that you’ll reach the port alive, or manage to escape the Hermit Continent."

Lady Yun paused, pointing below, and said, "That Gu Chun downstairs is Upper Concealment, not someone to be trifled with."

Chen Tang said, "Just let me leave first."

Lady Yun frowned.

This kid wanted to leave Jade Flute Fairy behind and escape by himself?

No, he wasn’t that kind of person.

Lady Yun asked, "Where do you want to go?"

Chen Tang said, "Where is Wind Mastiff?"

Lady Yun’s heart shook.

Goodness, Chen Tang, truly daring, with the Execution Order set, he wasn’t thinking of fleeing, but instead wanted to find Wind Mastiff!

"Are you crazy?"

Lady Yun frowned.

"I’m not crazy."

Chen Tang’s expression was calm and explained, "If I create a commotion over there, that person downstairs will naturally be alarmed. At that time, please inform Yu... the Jade Flute Fairy to head to the port and leave immediately without waiting for me."

"No need to be so troublesome."

Lady Yun said, "When you escape, create a bit of a commotion, that will likely lead Gu Chun away."

Chen Tang didn’t answer, asking again, "Where is Wind Mastiff?"

"Hmm?"

Lady Yun’s heart moved, seemingly realizing something, she suddenly stared intently at Chen Tang and slowly asked, "You want to kill Wind Mastiff to avenge Old Fenghead?"

When Blacksmith Feng died, Chen Tang was calm, not even showing sadness or anger.

So, Lady Yun didn’t think in that direction at first.

After all, Chen Tang had only known Blacksmith Feng for a mere twenty days.

When Chen Tang kept asking about Wind Mastiff’s location, she finally realized.

"Save your strength, going to where Wind Mastiff is, is seeking death."

Lady Yun said, "Wind Mastiff is surrounded by at least a hundred members of the Elder Council’s Guard Army. These guards are all above Fifth Grade, clad in strong armor, even a top Middle Concealment would find it hard to handle."

"Moreover, beside Wind Mastiff, Xu Ye, is an Upper Concealment, a master among Third Grade Martial Artists."

Chen Tang pondered slightly and asked, "Are the only ones beside Wind Mastiff, Gu Chun, and Xu Ye?"

Lady Yun said, "I don’t know, at least there are two Upper Concealments."

"Is there a Celestial Concealment?" Chen Tang asked again.

"No."

Lady Yun decisively said, "Wind Mastiff is only Elder Feng’s disciple, residing in the Hermit Continent, who would dare target him, there’s no need for Celestial Concealment protection."

Chen Tang appeared thoughtful.

Facing a Third Grade Upper Concealment, with his current power and means, he surely couldn’t contend.

But if it were just one Upper Concealment, he might have a chance to kill Wind Mastiff.

Perhaps he could use the Hermit’s method to assassinate Wind Mastiff!

If successful, he would immediately escape!

As long as he could reach the East Sea, with his strong lungs, he could temporarily hide at the bottom of the sea and avoid pursuit.

Chen Tang said, "Where is Wind Mastiff? I hope Lady Yun will tell me."

Lady Yun frowned and asked, "Are you serious?"

Chen Tang nodded.

Lady Yun said, "Just a mad dog, stay away from it."

"But this mad dog has bitten someone, so I must kill it!"

Chen Tang’s tone was resolute and his gaze was icy.

Lady Yun looked at Chen Tang and suddenly said, "Do you feel Old Fenghead’s death is your responsibility and harbor guilt?"

"To be clear, you don’t need to think that way. There’s no sentiment in the Hermit Continent, only transactions."

"Between you and Old Fenghead, it’s the same, you pay him, and he forges weapons for you, just that simple. His death was because someone broke the rules, it has nothing to do with you."

Chen Tang said lightly, "Perhaps."

He paused and then said, "But Wind Mastiff, I still want to kill."

"Why?"

Lady Yun said, "You only knew Old Fenghead for twenty days, there’s not much of a connection between you two."

Chen Tang said, "For a breath, and to give him justice."

"Justice?"

Lady Yun shook her head, "Here, there’s the way of killing, the Martial Arts of Hermits, the survival ways of all kinds of people, but there’s no justice."

"Yes, there is."

Chen Tang pointed to his chest and said, "Here."
