Capítulo 1541: Chapter 1741: Departure!

Subsequently, Liu Yu’s eyes were fixedly staring at Hao Jian, his hands covering his throat. However, with such a large opening, how could the bleeding possibly be stopped? Especially when the wound was on an artery, so fresh blood kept flowing out, quickly dyeing Liu Yu’s upper body crimson.

He wanted to curse Hao Jian a few times, but it was too late and he couldn’t speak, then he just collapsed on the ground.

“Bang!”

Liu Yu half-kneeled while falling to the ground, never to wake again.

A corpse knelt in front of him, yet Hao Jian didn’t even blink. To him, a corpse was merely a matter of quantity; as for fear, he had none.

Previously, he had thought of sparing Liu Yu’s life, never expecting Liu Yu would attempt a sneak attack to kill him, having hidden a small knife in his shoe sole. To those who deceived him, Hao Jian never showed kindness; therefore, since everything was confessed, there was no need for Liu Yu to exist, and Hao Jian took care of him swiftly.

Liu Yu had verbally claimed he wasn’t involved with the Moon affair, but who knew if he truly hadn’t participated? Moreover, even if not directly, indirectly was equally unforgivable.

Before dying, Liu Yu reached out trying to grab Hao Jian, but only managed to hold onto Hao Jian’s trouser leg and then met his end.

Hao Jian casually kicked Liu Yu’s hand holding his trouser leg away, then looked on calmly.

However, although his heart was calm, the hearts of Zhou Xiaoshan, Ma Xiaopeng, and Yu Jin were already tremendously shocked.

That invincible Great Elder from Tianwang Fort, Liu Yu, had died just like that before their eyes. Was it real? And died so effortlessly, as if it was ordinary.

Coupled with the earlier loss of Guan Haoyang and Luo Fan, Tianwang Fort had immediately lost three Elders, drastically reducing its strength.

They still found it hard to believe the reality of this fact.

Of course, most of all, they were surprised at Hao Jian. They initially thought the strength Hao Jian displayed on the platform was his peak, not expecting after being injured his power would explode even more astonishingly. He effortlessly dealt with the three Elders of Tianwang Fort, while they had done nothing, just watched.

This, just how strong was Hao Jian? Suddenly, there was this question existing in their minds.

Then they remembered saying they wanted to recruit Hao Jian into their sect as a disciple, and suddenly thinking of it seemed unbelievable. Had they underestimated Hao Jian earlier? With Hao Jian’s strength, being a Sect Master of an Ancient Martial Arts Sect was more than sufficient, what sect disciple, hadn’t they undervalued him too much!

The three present all knew now, if Hao Jian wanted to attack them, they surely wouldn’t have the ability to resist, only wait for death.

So now only feeling that their actions earlier were ridiculous, only the three of them knew how ridiculous they were.

The room’s door was left open when Liu Sha chased after Ye Yiyun, hence now a cool breeze blew in.

Amidst the night, suddenly, another figure appeared; it was Liu Sha, who swiftly returned inside.

Then, he immediately saw Luo Fan and Liu Yu lying on the ground, and by observing Zhou Xiaoshan, Ma Xiaopeng, and Yu Jin’s expressions, this wasn’t their doing, naturally, it was Hao Jian’s action.

In an instant, many suspenses emerged in Liu Sha’s heart.

Liu Sha came in and said, “Didn’t catch up, that kid ran so fast and disappeared in an instant, likely retreated to Tianwang Fort’s quarters, so I didn’t continue chasing.”

While speaking, Liu Sha spread his hands.

At this time, Feng Shiyuan, ordered by Hao Jian to simmer medicine, had finished and was coming with the herbal concoction. Upon entering, he saw Liu Yu kneeling and Guan Haoyang and Luo Fan lying on the floor, and his eyes immediately filled with astonishment.

Before he left everything was well, and upon return, three corpses lay on the ground, and he recognized who they were in one glance, all Elders of Tianwang Fort, even the Great Elder Liu Yu died here.

What on earth happened here?

But with so many Ancient Martial Arts Sect Masters here, including Hao Jian, he dared not utter a word or ask anything for fear of saying the wrong thing, offending someone, and bringing unnecessary trouble.

Thus, he trembled while offering the herbal concoction to Hao Jian. Hao Jian took it and drank it all in one breath, not leaving a drop, and then returned the bowl.

Feng Shiyuan took the bowl and prepared to leave, wanting to get away from this place of trouble.

At this moment, Hao Jian stopped him, startling Feng Shiyuan who immediately turned back to ask Hao Jian what he needed.

Hao Jian pointed at the three corpses and said, “Finish simmering the remaining medicine all at once, and then come back to deal with this simply!”

Feng Shiyuan looked down at the three corpses, quickly nodded, and then left with the bowl, remembering to close the door.

At this moment, only Hao Jian and the four remained in the room.

Hao Jian hadn’t spoken yet when Ma Xiaopeng first cupped his fists towards Hao Jian and said, “Young Master Hao, since you have other matters to attend to, I shall take my leave first. If you need any assistance, please do not hesitate to ask. I, Ma, will definitely do my utmost to help Young Master Hao!”

As he spoke, Ma Xiaopeng unconsciously changed the way he addressed Hao Jian. Previously, he referred to him as Hao Jian, but now he addressed him as Young Master Hao. It was evident that Hao Jian’s status in his heart had suddenly transformed.

No wonder, considering the tremendous strength he had displayed. Reflecting on how he previously intended to recruit Hao Jian into the sect as its master, it now seemed a bit foolish. Moreover, the situation was awkward, and if he didn’t hurry and leave, what was he still doing here?

Hao Jian nodded and then said, “Thank you very much!”

With that, Ma Xiaopeng opened the door and walked out on his own.

With a predecessor taking the lead, Zhou Xiaoshan also cupped his hands towards Hao Jian and said, “In that case, I, Zhou, will not linger either. If Young Master Hao needs anything, I, Zhou, will be the first to respond. Farewell!”

Hao Jian cupped his hands, “Farewell!”

Liu Sha also stepped forward and said, “Then I, Liu, will not linger either. Farewell!”

Hao Jian cupped his hands, “Farewell!”

After Yu Jin said his farewell, he too followed behind Liu Sha and left.

Now, only Hao Jian was left alone in the room.

Not long after, Feng Shiyuan returned. Looking at Hao Jian, he found his fear of Hao Jian growing, not that kind of fear, but fear of Hao Jian’s mysterious identity and power. Who exactly was this person, constantly reshaping his perception of him?

Yet it solidified his desire to serve Hao Jian. Serving such a great figure would certainly yield substantial rewards.

Thinking this, he lowered his head and immediately dealt with the three corpses, dragging them out before digging a pit and burying them.

Hao Jian then drank the medicinal soup that Feng Shiyuan brought. After drinking it, he felt refreshed in body and mind. Indeed, although the medicine was a bit bitter, its effects were very noticeable.

Now, there was little time left for him to wait. He had to go and handle some matters immediately.

But his physical injuries had not fully healed yet, so he needed to wait a while longer.

Hao Jian then closed the door, took out the acupuncture needles, took off his upper clothing, and administered another round of treatment. After a series of painful cries, he was already drenched in sweat.

After putting things away, Hao Jian took a bath to wash off all the sweat.

While washing, Hao Jian instinctively touched the wound that the Moon had inflicted. Through treatment and medicine, the scar had completely healed, and he couldn’t even feel the wound’s existence, except for a slight pain when pressed.

This indicated that not only had the external injuries healed, but the internal injuries were almost healed as well. If so, there were certain matters that needed to be handled.

After drying off completely and dressing, Hao Jian prepared to go out to attend to some matters.

As he left, he ran into Feng Shiyuan, who looked surprised to see Hao Jian heading out, but dared not say anything at that moment.

Looking at Feng Shiyuan, Hao Jian remembered something. Since he was injured, Feng Shiyuan had been taking care of him all along, doing many tasks he entrusted him with, both hard work and merit.

Knowing he was leaving to deal with matters and likely wouldn’t return, seeing Feng Shiyuan stirred something within him.

He then opened his wallet, took out all the remaining money, and placed it in Feng Shiyuan’s hand.

Though Feng Shiyuan’s eyes lit up at the sight of money, seeing so much at once left him a little dazed.

Hao Jian said, “This money is for you, keep it well!”

Then Hao Jian turned to leave but seemingly recalled something and turned back again, taking out a slip of paper from his pocket with his address in Hua City written on it.

Hao Jian handed the paper to Feng Shiyuan, saying, “I won’t be coming back after this. For taking care of me while I was injured, I have nothing to repay you with except money. So, if you encounter any trouble or danger in the future, come to me at the address on this note, and I will help!”

Saying this, Hao Jian quickly departed, leaving Feng Shiyuan standing dazed in the night.

After a long while, Feng Shiyuan came back to his senses, glancing at the items in both hands—a handful of money and a slip of paper.

This time he didn’t count the money. Just by holding it, he knew its weight. He subconsciously put the money in his pocket, his eyes fixed on the paper Hao Jian had given him, silently memorizing the address written on it.
