Chapter 126 - 123: Where is the Evidence?_l
Yang Chen killing a member of the Horse-thief Gang was not a big deal.
The Twelve Great Tribes could completely cover for Yang Chen in this matter.
But Yang Chen should never have killed all five geniuses of the Horse-thief Gang. With five people dead, how could the Horse-thief Gang let this go?
At this moment, Third Master was delighted.
Originally, he was worried about how to establish Yang Chen’s guilt, but who would have thought that the Wang Family would suddenly step forward and do him a great favor?
This made him smirk: “Well, well, well, Wang Family, thank you for helping me confirm Yang Chen’s guilt today. I will return the favor in the future.”
“It’s only right. This kid, Yang Chen, disregarded the friendship between the Great Wild Hundred Clans and killed people without hesitation. He deserves a thousand cuts.” Wang Dachui said slowly, instantly placing himself on the moral high ground.
Yang Chen sneered again and again. These two people were really well-matched.
Feng Changkong was obviously on Yang Chen’s side. He frowned and said, “Third Master, isn’t it normal for some conflicts to occur within Monster Beast
Mountain? A few deaths and injuries shouldn’t be too big of a deal, right?”
“Not a big deal? Hahaha, if one of our geniuses from the Horse-thief Gang had died, I could understand it as an accidental injury. But all five of them are dead!
What does that mean? It means that Yang Chen deliberately killed them!
At this point, Murong Liuhe couldn’t stand it anymore. He stood up and said, “Third Master, wasn’t it your Horse-thief Gang who kidnapped the geniuses of various clans first? Now you’re blaming us?”
“Hehe, our Red-clothed Gang kidnapped your geniuses but did we harm their lives? Who saw us killing anyone? Yes, some geniuses didn’t make it out of Monster Beast Mountain, but who saw us do it? We kidnapped your geniuses and exposed your incompetence!” Third Master said harshly.
This made Murong Liuhe slightly stunned. For a moment, he was speechless.
Yang Chen sighed.
There was no way around it; experience prevailed.
Yes, who saw the Red-clothed Gang kill the geniuses in Monster Beast Mountain?
Nobody. Everyone had only seen the corpses and assumed that it was the Horse-thief Gang. But who had witnessed it? Even if they had, where was the evidence?
They killed those geniuses when no one was around.
Afterward, they kidnapped all the geniuses to eliminate them all at once, leaving no one alive to reveal the news. So, without evidence, who could say it was the Horse-thief Gang’s doing? The Horse-thief Gang had planned this all along, while the Great Wild Hundred Clans had no countermeasures for it.
However, Murong Liuhe’s support warmed Yang Chen’s heart.
At this moment, Yang Zhengyi also stood up: “Third Master, what kind of reasoning is this?”
“What reasoning? Our Red-clothed Gang is the law! Feng Changkong, I know you’re protecting this kid, and Yang Zhengyi, I know you are too. So what, are you going to just let these five lives be wasted? Hahaha, let me tell you the truth. If you don’t hand over Yang Chen, our Horse-thief Gang won’t mind declaring war on the Great Wild Hundred Clans once again!” Third Master’s tone was chilling.
Hearing this, everyone from the Twelve Great Tribes was stunned.
A moment ago, Feng Changkong wanted to speak but closed his mouth, not knowing what to say.
At this point, even he didn’t know how to choose between priorities.
Would the Horse-thief Gang actually go to war with the Great Wild Hundred Clans again? Who could bear the responsibility if they did? Maintaining this kind of stability was not an easy task for the Great Wild Hundred Clans.
Yang Zhengyi was at a loss for words, glaring at Third Master all this time, unable to speak.
Third Master sneered: “Yang Family, it’s your choice. Do you face our wrath, or hand over Yang Chen?”
Yang Chen stood with his hands behind his back, looking calmly at the Yang Family’s choice.
If the Yang Family chose to remain silent, he would be sorely disappointed.
But at this moment, Yang Zhengyi suddenly clenched his fists: “Third Master, are you threatening our Yang Family? Hahaha, good, good, you want to annihilate our Yang Family? Do you really think our Yang Family is made up of spineless cowards? If you want to fight, be our guest. We, the Yang Family, will fight to the end! If you want us to hand over Yang Chen and be the pathetic fools who submit to you, I, Yang Zhengyi, will be the first to refuse!”
“Great Elder, think carefully before making a decision. It’s not worth it to offend the Horse-thief Gang for Yang Chen.” Elder Yang Ba stood up, anxiously speaking, his face covered in sweat after being scared by Third Master.
“Shut up! ” The Great Elder shouted, staring straight at Third Master without backing down.
Yang Chen’s heart warmed up a bit, thinking that the Yang Family was still worth his protection.
Third Master laughed loudly: “Hahaha, Yang Zhengyi, you’re truly brave. Then wait for our Horse-thief Gang’s wrath.”
“Wait!”
At this moment, Yang Chen suddenly stood up: “Third Master, since you’re being so unreasonable, I really have to argue with you.” “Kid, what are you trying to do?” Third Master narrowed his eyes.
Yang Chen dared to stand up at this moment?
With his hands behind his back, Yang Chen was not afraid of Third Master’s intimidating aura. He slowly said, “Third Master, if I really killed the five geniuses of your gang, you can annihilate my Yang family and kill me, Yang
Chen. Fine, if I, Yang Chen, have to give you my head, so be it. But who has evidence that I killed your five geniuses?”
The Great Wild Hundred Clans were powerless and dared not confront the
Horse-thief Gang. He couldn’t rely on others, so he had to rely on himself now.
The Horse-thief Gang could kill people from the Great Wild Hundred Clans, but he couldn’t kill them? How was that fair?
Third Master sneered, “Yang Chen, have you gone insane? Did you not hear what the Wang Family said?”
“Of course, I heard. However, I crippled Wang De’s arm, and they harbor a deep hatred for me. It’s only natural for them to take this opportunity to kick me while I’m down. But can their words represent anything? I could also say Wang Lang from the Wang Family killed your five geniuses. Would you believe that?” Yang Chen replied.
At this statement, Third Master didn’t know what to say.
Yang Chen continued: “You can say I killed Zhang Long and the others, but please, Third Master, provide evidence. If there is evidence, I, Yang Chen, will give you my head without a second word. But if there is no evidence, then what will you, Third Master, do?”
The representatives of other great clans finally came to their senses under the crushing pressure of Third Master’s aura.
Yes, where is the evidence?
Just based on Wang Lang’s one-sided words, could one say that Yang Chen killed Zhang Long and the others? The Wang Family had a grudge against Yang Chen. Could their words be considered testimony?
At this point, even Wang Lang was dumbfounded. Could Yang Chen really lie with his eyes wide open?
