Chapter 1869 - 1860: Nothingness
Chapter 1869 - 1860: Nothingness
In an instant, countless thunder and rain fell, all pouring into the empty shadow cage, engulfing whatever Heng Tian and he had said.
The thunder sighed lightly, and Ao Cangsheng and Zhan Feng stood quietly from a distance, watching.
When all the thunder sounds disappeared, only a mist remained, and not even a shadow of half the sky could be seen.
This time, Nai Heng had reached the end of the road.
During the war, Heng Qingfeng and ten others finally caught up to the person in the other valley outside the Heavenly Dragon Temple.
But when they saw that person’s face, they found he was alone, without a trace of the proud Cangsheng.
"Where are the others?"
Ten people quickly surrounded the old man in gray clothes. Heng Qingfeng stood at a distance coldly asking.
"Indeed, where have you hidden the child? If you are honest, we can make you happy!"
A strong man said angrily as well.
"What on earth are you talking about? I don’t understand!"
Confronting the crowd of greedy people, the old man in gray remained calm.
"Old man, stop pretending to be haughty?"
The next moment, without waiting for Heng Feng’s reaction, a blade was shattered in the void.
Instantly, he felt as if a flower had bloomed before his eyes, a beam of light hitting the main gate, piercing through his head in the blink of an eye.
A coolness and pain appeared on his forehead, and Heng Qingfeng’s eyes widened.
He seemed still in shock. How could this old man be so strong? How did he self-destruct?
There was a bloodstain on Heng Qingfeng’s forehead, blood seeping from it, stretching across his sinister face.
"Bang—"
With a light sound, Heng Qingfeng’s body finally fell. Even in death, he died peacefully.
Upon witnessing this shocking scene, the remaining ten people were stunned.
Though some had strong skills, they were still far inferior to the persistent breeze.
Now that Heng Qingfeng had been killed by the old man in gray, how could they not be shocked?
The old man in gray wanted to escape, but who could manage that?
"The great influence of the Heng Family is over. If I were you, I’d choose another hall! Continuing down this path will only lead to your destruction!"
The old man in gray did not continue the fight. He gave a cold glance at the ten people around but spoke such a strange sentence.
As his voice fell, the old man in gray stepped forward and then walked into the sky to fight.
Behind him, the ten people still stood where they were, dazed. One could not tell whether they were pondering the old man’s parting words or if their legs were simply too weak to move.
About the time it takes for incense to burn, Ao Kangsheng appeared again in the Martial Arts Arena.
But at this time, he was not followed by his shadow.
Seeing Ao Cangsheng’s figure, another commotion broke out in the Martial Arts Arena.
People began speculating about how Ao Kangsheng had returned?
Who was that person who had openly robbed the prisoner? Alive or dead?
Moreover, many also looked forward to seeing the return of the elder Tai Shang to continue the good fights.
However, the water was soft and comfortable, and the wind was smiling. Seeing Ao Cangsheng’s safe return, the stone in his heart fell immediately.
"Who will help me capture him!"
Before Ao Kangsheng could step onto the stage, someone shouted loudly from the vice president’s camp.
As soon as the words fell, eight strong men in black rushed at Ao Cangsheng.
"Stop!"
But at that moment, Shui Linhan suddenly spoke out.
The people of the Heng Family were surprised and said: "Elder, this son is both cruel and cunning. If you don’t get him, I’m afraid he’ll harm people!"
Shui Linghan glanced at that person and said coldly, "Why capture him?"
A hint of surprise flashed in the person’s eyes. Someone said angrily, "Elder, this son is the murderer who killed Heng Elder. Of course, we should capture him!"
This matter is decided by the Supreme Elder. The President won’t disobey him, will he?"
Seeing that the person had invoked the Supreme Elder, Shui Lingxing sneered and said, "The Supreme Elder thinks Ao Cangsheng is guilty, but I think this matter is different, and I want to review it again."
"President, but..."
Shui Lingxing did not wait for the person to speak but interjected, "Since the Elder is not here, I am the President of the college." Do you have any objections?"
Seeing Shui Lingleng suddenly becoming like a powerful bully, a hint of annoyance flashed in the person’s eyes.
It was only because of his identity that he did not attack.
He wanted to see if he could be arrogant when the Elder would return.
That was not just what this person thought, but other elders in the Heng Jia camp were also delighted.
"Come here!"
Shui Linghan waved, calling Ao Cangsheng.
He immediately looked at the young man in blue clothes and said, "Go on, why did you go to the Vice President but not to the Elder?"
Since the two main figures of the Heng Family left, the young man in blue had been anxious.
At this moment, seeing Shui Linhan bring up the past, his heart fell into chaos.
"I... I’m afraid... afraid you weren’t here!"
The young man in blue looked pale, blinking his eyes. He became weak and dispirited.
Upon hearing this, Shui Linggen did not speak, but observers nearby started laughing first.
"Do you know what they’re laughing at?"
Shui Lingleng chuckled coldly, his tone carrying a hint of sarcasm.
"I don’t know!"
The young man in blue looked terrified, shaking his head.
"You were worried I wasn’t here, so how were you sure Vice President Ah Tong would be there?"
"I... I felt it!"
The blue-clad young man’s answer was even more shocking.
"If you have such a feeling, did you sense the murderer is Ao Kangsheng, and the victim is Heng Elder?"
Shui Linghan chuckled coldly again.
"No, I saw exactly that!"
The young man in blue hadn’t lost his reason completely, so he quickly corrected his error.
"Where did you see it?"
Shui Linhan continued to ask.
"In the bamboo building."
To get rid of Ao Cangsheng, the elder Tai Shang was invited out. Heng Jia truly made a big move!"
"The reason Heng Jia moved against Ao Kangsheng is because of Heng Zhan, right?"
"It is said that Heng Zhan died at the Qi Tian Tower from the beginning, so Heng Jia blamed it on Ao Cangsheng. When the Heavenly Dragon Gang tournament started, didn’t Heng Jia target Ao Cangsheng too?"
"In this way, Heng Jia truly is ruthless!"
As discussions broke out in the Martial Arts Arena, the Heng Shui murder finally came to light.
Those who previously wanted to capture Ao Kangsheng now completely hid behind the crowd.
Before the elder Tai Shang returned, he must not appear, otherwise, he’d be drowned in others’ spit.
However, all the Heng Jia people would ultimately be disappointed because their ancestor could not return this time.
Not only the ancestor Heng Tian, but even Vice President Heng Qingfeng also died for no reason.
"Now we all should understand that the so-called ’Hengshui was killed by Ao Cangsheng,’ in fact, was nothing but Heng Qingfeng and Heng Tian’s outright fabrication and slander."
"For the scandal at Heavenly Dragon Temple, I am also very sorry. I fear if I did not intervene promptly, our Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts School would suffer a great loss today."
"Due to the serious nature and impact of this incident, I am announcing that, starting today, I will relieve the elder Heng Da of his duties."
At the same time, I am also removing Heng Qingfeng from the position of Vice President. Anyone who colludes with Heng Qingfeng will be dealt with severely."
"As for Ao Kangsheng, I apologize on behalf of the academy for the grievances and injustices he has faced, and I assure we will compensate him with the resources of the academy!"
Standing on the stage, facing the many onlookers, Shui Lingxing addressed all the Heng Jia people with the utmost solemnity.
