Chapter 069 Why should the Night Fiend Hall need to consider others' opinions when doing things
"Revenge should not be delayed overnight"—this is a truth that Shen Bai has always believed in!
He didn't believe Xuan Nie would let him go. Even if he retreated temporarily because of his identity in the Night Fiend Hall, he would definitely use other methods later, such as hiring someone to kill him. As long as he did it cleanly, even the Night Fiend Hall wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
Moreover, he was just an outsider, and no one knew exactly what Night Fiend Hall could do for him.
And even if it could help me get revenge, by then I might have already traveled to the next world!
Shen Wenwen will also suffer the most tragic life.
Therefore, Shen Bai risked taking out his secret weapon: a magical grenade.
This magical artifact was designed purely for high firepower, without any sophisticated design. After the mechanism was triggered, the spiritual energy conversion array quickly extracted the spiritual energy of ten spirit stones. The concentrated spiritual energy was directly detonated by the explosion array in the confined space.
Simple and straightforward!
Xuan Nie was guided by Shen Bai's words to believe that the grenade was a magical artifact given by Hu Feier, which made him interested. Moreover, in his mind, Shen Bai was just a minor acquired martial artist. Even if he used some tricks to help capture Lu Yan, it was only on the premise that Lu Yan was injured. In addition, the capture of Lu Yan was mainly done by the Law Enforcement Hall.
Shen Bai was at most just a messenger.
Incomplete intelligence and information asymmetry made him pay the price for his carelessness.
Even with his defensive magical artifacts, he couldn't withstand the continuous bombardment of the artifact-equipped grenade and four Desert Eagle Berserk Strike shots.
If he had been even slightly more vigilant, he wouldn't have been able to be ambushed by Shen Bai.
After Shen Bai dialed Deng Zhi's communication talisman, he quickly gave Shen Wenwen a few instructions, telling her how to deal with the situation next, and then she just had to wait.
Soon, the Night Fiend Hall's and Hu Weiwei's flying boats landed in front of the two almost simultaneously. Then, the cultivators from the Enforcement Hall also arrived, but Deng Zhi ordered them not to approach.
"What exactly happened?"
Deng Zhi looked solemnly at everything before him, while his sisters, Hu Weiwei and Hu Feier, looked at the siblings with concern: "How are you? Are you hurt?"
Shen Bai pointed at the pile of minced meat on the ground, sneering repeatedly: "Master Deng, Boss Hu, you both assured me you wouldn't face retaliation! This is the second young master of Xuanhua Pharmaceutical!"
Shen Bai was unaware that Xuan Nie already knew that he had sabotaged the theft, but that didn't stop him from guessing some things from Xuan Nie's words and actions.
Moreover, he doesn't care even if he wrongly blames the other party!
Because Xuan Nie dared to make a move on his own sister, whether it's true or not, he must take revenge on him severely!
Regardless of whether it is true or not, we've completely fallen out with Xuanhua Pharmaceuticals.
So, he immediately started by labeling everyone with serious accusations.
Looking at Shen Wenwen, her face filled with tears and fear, and then at the muddy puddle on the ground.
Deng Zhi's face was ashen, Hu Weiwei's pretty face flushed red, and Hu Feier was so ashamed and indignant that she didn't know what to say.
Du Haiyang, who arrived later, didn't know how to respond.
Everyone had assured them that the secrets would not be leaked and that no one would retaliate against the siblings.
The current situation is a resounding slap in the face to both the Enforcement Hall and the Night Fiend Hall.
This also slapped Hu Fangkun, a fourth-level alchemy master and a quasi-Nascent Soul True Monarch, in the face.
It is obvious that Xuanhua Pharmaceutical is not afraid of the challenges from the Law Enforcement Hall, Night Fiend Hall, Bai's Pharmaceutical, and Hu Fangkun.
Deng Zhi, who had originally intended to ask Shen Bai how he killed Xuan Nie, no longer had the mind to ask. Suppressing his anger, he said, "Hall Master Du, immediately gather your men. Tonight, I will uproot Xuanhua Pharmaceutical!"
"Old Deng, don't be impulsive!"
Du Haiyang was shocked. Xuanhua Pharmaceutical was a large enterprise in Jiangbei City, on par with Baishi Pharmaceutical, and had a close relationship with Ge Zhenren.
If we were to make a big fuss about this, we would definitely break off relations with Master Ge.
Deng Zhi sneered, "My Night Fiend Hall is directly under the jurisdiction of the capital. Why should the Night Fiend Hall have to consider other people's opinions when it comes to doing things? Now someone has openly attacked a member of my Night Fiend Hall. A mere Golden Core cultivator, does he dare to utter a fart?"
Deng Zhichong leaped into the air and shouted sharply, "Jiangbei Night Fiend Hall, assemble!"
Helpless, Du Haiyang took out a communication talisman and shouted into it: "Mobilize all the people on duty. Target: Xuanhua Pharmaceutical."
Hu Weiwei and Hu Feier also had stern faces. Hu Weiwei said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry to have frightened you two siblings. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter!"
Hu Weiwei soared into the sky, riding on a flying sword, and sped away after Deng Zhi.
Hu Feier stepped forward and put her arm around Shen Wenwen, comforting her in a low voice. Shen Wenwen, already in tears, burst into loud sobs, crying, "Sister Feier, it's so scary! He's going to kill me and my brother!"
Hu Feier lowered her head in shame: "It's all my sister's fault. I should have realized he had ulterior motives when he started bothering me these past few days!"
With the two major courts mobilized, the entire night in Jiangbei City became restless.
Shen Bai observed coldly, offering no opinion. He had already prepared for the worst when he plotted to kill Xuan Nie. Even if the Night Fiend Hall and the Enforcement Hall didn't act on his behalf, he had ways to leverage greater power; it would just require sacrificing some interests.
The current situation has significantly changed his perception of the Night Fiend Hall.
As expected, the Night Fiend Hall is notoriously protective of its own.
I made the right bet!
Master Deng kept his promise.
The simple statement, "The Night Fiend Hall doesn't need to worry about what others think when it comes to doing things," exudes an awe-inspiring dominance!
The three of them didn't wait and went straight back to their own courtyard. The people left behind by the Night Fiend Hall dealt with the bodies at the scene. No one asked Shen Bai where Xuan Nie's storage ring had gone, and Shen Bai pretended not to know.
……
The following day was New Year's Eve.
Shen Bai got up early to prepare breakfast for Hu Feier and Shen Wenwen. The two had been whispering to each other all night and were a little hungry at this time.
The three were sitting around the dining table drinking porridge when Hu Weiwei suddenly appeared. Having not returned home all night, she was filled with murderous and bloody aura, which made Shen Bai realize that the matter of Xuanhua Pharmaceuticals had come to a conclusion.
When Hu Weiwei entered the room and saw the spirit rice porridge on the table, she couldn't resist the temptation and picked up the bowl in front of Hu Feier to drink it directly.
Shen Wenwen obediently got up and served Hu Feier another bowl of porridge. Hu Weiwei drank one bowl but wasn't satisfied. She got up to check the pot but found it was empty. She complained, "Oh dear, I worked so hard all night and only got half a bowl of porridge, and it was someone else's leftovers."
Hu Feier handed Hu Weiwei the porridge that Shen Wenwen had served her with a wry smile. Hu Weiwei happily finished the bowl of porridge before looking at the three of them.
All three of them knew that the matter had been resolved.
……
P.S.: Starting tomorrow, updates will resume at midnight.
