Chapter 741: Chapter 738: Revenge!_1
He Shangfeng did not come with Yun Ge and the Fire Essence Beasts. In fact, Yun Ge never trusted He Shangfeng nor did he take him seriously.
However, He Shangfeng did not understand any of this. He was still waiting in Canghai Sect for the good news from the Fire Essence Beasts.
“Han Fang!” He Shangfeng shouted.
A few disciples walked in from outside the door, led by none other than the former Junior Sect Master of the Canghai Sect, Han Fang. Due to the fallout from the last Thousand Year Treasure incident, Han Fang was stripped of his title as Junior Sect Master. But He Shangfeng had no other capable people under him, so he continued his reliance on Han Fang.
If it were in the past, Han Fang would have been delighted.
However, ever since he lost to Yang Chen and was stripped of his title as Junior Sect Master, he suddenly realized the truth and understood many things.
He knew that Canghai Sect was not a sect worth following and serving. More precisely, He Shangfeng was not a Sect Leader worth following.
As he thought, He Shangfeng disappointed him again. He never imagined that He Shangfeng would follow the Fire Essence Beast and willingly serve the demonic beasts.
At this moment, Han Fang stood in the great hall, looking helplessly at He Shangfeng with resentment in his heart. Although he was sometimes petty and narrow-minded, he was always decisive when it came to crucial matters!
Betraying the human race and siding with demonic beasts was absolutely unacceptable!
But what choice did he have?
He was just a young genius who had not fully grown. In front of He Shangfeng, he had no power to resist, let alone in front of the Fire Essence Beasts.
“Sect Leader!” Han Fang said respectfully.
He Shangfeng looked at Han Fang and the other disciples, and slowly said, “Has the Fire Essence Beast Lord returned? Is Yang Chen dead? Is there any news now?”
“Sect Leader, there isn’t any news for now.” Han Fang sighed.
He Shangfeng twisted his neck, feeling somewhat disappointed, “At this time, Yang Chen is probably already dead. It’s just that the news hasn’t reached yet, and the Fire Essence Beast Lords haven’t returned. Hmph, Yang Chen… daring to resist the Fire Essence Beasts, death is the best outcome for you!”
Listening to his words, Han Fang could barely contain his anger. He opened his mouth and said, “Sect Leader, even though Yang Chen is at odds with you, he is still one of us – human race. On the contrary, those Fire Essence Beasts are plotting our human lands and causing harm to our race. How can you wish for Yang Chen’s death so eagerly?”
“What, you have a problem with my thoughts?” He Shangfeng scolded sharply.
As He Shangfeng got angry, the other disciples immediately began to fawn over him.
They had been eyeing Han Fang’s position jealously, and now that Han Fang was daring to contradict He Shangfeng, wasn’t this giving them an opportunity?
Han Fang was really overestimating himself, caring about the human race and such. They didn’t have time for such thoughts. They said directly, “That’s right, Han Fang, the Sect Leader nurtured and educated you, not for you to argue against him. This Yang Chen offended our Sect Leader, so he deserves to die!”
“And, who told you that the Fire Essence Beasts would definitely harm humans? The Fire Essence Beasts are only targeting Yang Chen!”
“Yang Chen deserves to die a thousand times for daring to provoke the Fire Essence Beasts and our Canghai Sect. Death is the only path for him!”
For a moment, Han Fang gritted his teeth angrily, “You… all of you!”
He did not say anything in the end.
He Shangfeng coldly said, “Han Fang, do you have a problem with my decision? Hmph, it seems that I’ve been too indulgent with you. Let’s put your matter aside for now. When I see Yang Chen’s head, I will settle the score with you.”
“Getting my head? He Shangfeng, I’m afraid you’ll never see that in your life.”
Suddenly, a powerful aura descended.
Accompanied by a clear voice, the owner of the voice was none other than Yang Chen!
Not only Yang Chen appeared at this moment, but also many demonic beasts and people from the Yuanshan Sect. Of course, the key person, He QiuShui, was also present.
“You… Yang Chen!” He Shangfeng was suddenly shocked, trembling all over, and couldn’t help but back up a few steps.
How could this be?
How could this be possible?
Why did this happen?
Wasn’t it supposed to be the Fire Essence Beast returning safely, bringing back Yang Chen’s head? How could this be happening?
It’s not that he isn’t afraid. It’s because Yang Chen’s lineup was too intimidating—a group of demonic beasts with True Martial Realm strength, as well as the high-level members of the Yuanshan Sect. Without the help of the Fire Essence Beast, how could he, He Shangfeng, be a match for them?
There were not many True Martial Realm Elders under his control. Most of those elders chose to die rather than yield in the face of pressure from the Fire Essence Beasts back then. Eventually, they were killed by the Fire Essence Beasts, and he even mocked them for not knowing the situation. As for the remaining Elders, who would dare to stand up and help him now, after seeing this scene?
“How strange, you must be wondering why I wasn’t killed by the Fire Essence Beasts?” Yang Chen said coldly. “Unfortunately, He Shangfeng, I wasn’t killed by the Fire Essence Beasts, and the Fire Spirit Beast Tribe has almost been wiped out by me.”
These demonic beasts he brought with him were just a part of it, while the other demonic beasts, following his orders, went with Mù Báishēng to search and clean up the remaining Fire Essence Beasts in various places. It would take some time to restore order in North Mountain County, and it could no longer pose a threat.
He Shangfeng heard his words but had no strength to refute.
“Yang Chen, do you really want to kill me?” He Shangfeng gritted his teeth.
“What do you think?” Yang Chen answered decisively.
He Shangfeng’s body trembled with fear.
He clenched his fists and said, “Yang Chen, I’ve always been curious about one thing: Why do you seem to have known about my dealings with the Fire Essence Beasts from the very beginning? What is the reason?”
“Because of He Yunxiao.” Yang Chen said solemnly, “He Shangfeng, if it weren’t for Senior He Yunxiao, perhaps even I wouldn’t know about your collusion with the Fire Essence Beasts, let alone that you have already betrayed the human race. Although he is dead, he revealed the truth.”
“He Yunxiao, I knew it must be him!” He Shangfeng gritted his teeth.
This old man, even in death, wanted to expose him!
“He Shangfeng, it’s time to pay back the debt for the injustice that you did to Senior He Yunxiao all those years ago!” Yang Chen said emotionlessly. “The words that Senior He Yunxiao entrusted me with, I will take them up with you today!”
His murderous intent burst forth. Today, he hoped that He Yunxiao’s spirit in heaven could see things clearly.
Yang Chen was going to avenge He Yunxiao!
