Chapter 250 187: Acting Against Injustice
Some people think their actions are very covert, but little do they know that the moment they start moving, they've already been figured out.
After Qin Yuesheng left Yangzhou Prefecture, he immediately discovered that there were a few people who followed him even outside the city. He previously thought it was coincidental that they were on the same path, but now, the situation was clearly not like that, he was unknowingly being watched.
"Liu Xian's people? Or other forces." Qin Yuesheng thought to himself. He didn't turn around, as that might alert them, so he briskly walked to a secluded corner, and then accelerated sharply, disappearing into the dense forest.
"Not good, we've been discovered." Two beggars holding bamboo poles quickly jogged over.
Seeing that Qin Yuesheng's figure had already disappeared from their sight, they couldn't help but show regret on their faces. They clearly didn't expect Qin Yuesheng's reaction to be so sensitive.
"Hurry up and chase him, maybe we can still catch this kid." Another beggar said.
However, just as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from behind them.
"Are you two looking for me?" Qin Yuesheng cheerfully pressed down on their shoulders, exerting strength with his hands, lifting both of them up.
The strength of Qin Yuesheng was immense, these two simply couldn't compete. Instantly, they were like chicks caught by an eagle, their feet lifted off the ground.
"It hurts!"
"It hurts!"
The two shouted hastily, but how could Qin Yuesheng possibly spare them? He immediately tossed them to the ground, pressing their backs hard, like being crushed by a giant stone, they couldn't get up no matter how hard they tried.
"Who are you?"
"Why are you following me?" Qin Yuesheng shouted.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, we were just on the way." One beggar hurriedly said.
"On the way, my ass. I heard everything you two said just now. Tell me, why are you following me? If you don't speak, I'll press you to death."
Crack, crack!
As Qin Yuesheng exerted force secretly with his hands, the sound of bones cracking resounded within their bodies, which even if not felt, just hearing it made one's body inexplicably ache.
"Cough!"
Qin Yuesheng infiltrated a bit of Inner Strength into their bodies, and immediately they spewed a mouthful, spraying two streams of blood.
"We are spies from the Common People's District, we followed you to investigate secrets about the Sword Burial Vault." The beggar hurriedly said.
He could feel that if he really didn't speak, Qin Yuesheng would crush him alive.
"Common People's District." Qin Yuesheng stopped his actions. He had heard of the Common People's District before; Xu Chang had once recommended this intelligence-selling Jianghu organization to him. Last time, to find Liu Zhizhang's whereabouts, he had specifically bought intelligence from the Cyan Yang City branch of Common People's District.
Unexpectedly, this time he himself was targeted as intelligence by them.
"Why would you think I have secrets about the Sword Burial Vault?" Qin Yuesheng frowned and asked.
"Last night at Great Buddha Mountain, we also sent people over, and we know clearly what happened. But the map that appeared over Treasure Bottle Temple wasn't clear, you were there at the time. Our branch master sent many people to follow you, trying to find the Sword Burial Vault through you. We're just two of them."
"You Common People's District are really pervasive." Qin Yuesheng coldly said. He truly didn't expect that the Common People's District had also quietly intervened. Given their usual style, where everything can be sold as intelligence, it's likely he had already been linked to the Sword Burial Vault, up for sale with a price tag. Anyone who pays would know that to find the Sword Burial Vault, they must find him, because Qin Yuesheng had seen the map.
This is indeed quite troublesome.
"Has Common People's District sold my information?"
"No, the Sword Burial Vault is very significant. With Bai Yue Sword Saint's legacy, it could elevate Common People's District to a top-tier force. The branch master doesn't want others to know about it either."
Qin Yuesheng secretly sighed in relief, a good piece of news indeed. Due to Common People's District's greed, his information hadn't been leaked yet.
He directly killed the two men, used the dismantling function to dispose of the bodies, glanced at the dismantled materials, finding nothing good, and quickly left the area.
"Common People's District... After returning from Shazhou, I must intimidate this force properly, lest they cause trouble for me."
...
The sect leaders of Thunder Fist Sect and Sword and Saber Sect dying overnight somehow spread within Yangzhou Prefecture. This news was akin to a bolt from the blue, shocking Jianghu individuals.
After all, Lei Gang and Gongsun Xiaozhou are among the top twenty masters on the Jiangnan Hundred Soldiers List, and now they're just dead?
Upon hearing this, both Thunder Fist Sect and Sword and Saber Sect immediately sent people to Treasure Bottle Temple, not only to see their sect leaders' corpses with their own eyes, verifying the authenticity of the news.
But also to retrieve the valuable items carried by their sect leaders, like the two inherited weapons of the Sword and Saber Sect from Gongsun Xiaozhou.
Of course, these matters have nothing to do with Qin Yuesheng.
