King of Hundred Victories Saber

Chapter 243 - 129: Malicious Schemes Unveiled—Zhong Renwang’s Sinister Calculations, Xie Zhichuan’s Vicious Plot, Liu Tingting’s Urgent Pursuit of the Auspicious Beast

He hunched over, rubbing his hands together incessantly, as if anticipating something.

He leaned closer to Liu Yanran, lowered his voice, and said, "Naturally, we must rely on the masters of your Divine Water Palace. As long as the Palace Master is willing to dispatch your elite, combined with the desperate efforts of our Beggar Gang brothers and the power of the Divine Sword Manor, how could we possibly fail to take down Shi Feiyang? By then, united, we will be an indisputable force in the Jianghu! Once Shi Feiyang is eliminated, we will have no rivals left, and our influence can rapidly expand, further elevating the prestige of the Divine Water Palace. Lady Liu, you will also be able to rectify past humiliations. This is truly a win-win situation!"

Zhong Renwang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, eagerly waiting for Liu Yanran’s response, just waiting for this exact phrase.

Xie Zhichuan nodded slightly, indicating his agreement, with a hint of helplessness on his face. He sighed softly, with a tone filled with reluctance: "Indeed, the martial arts of Lady Liu’s Divine Water Palace are renowned, striking fear in people. With the Palace Master personally leading, even Shi Feiyang will find it difficult to escape. Although we have some strength on our side, to ensure everything is foolproof, we must rely on the Divine Water Palace’s divine might."

Though his heart was full of reluctance, he had to admit, despite his unwillingness to rely on the Divine Water Palace, they had no other choice if they wanted to completely eliminate Shi Feiyang.

Liu Yanran’s eyes flashed with cunning, secretly calculating in his heart. He pondered, "Since they are so sincere, why not join forces and also obtain what I want in the process."

So, he smiled slightly and said, "Alright, since you both are so sincere, I’ll join forces with you. However, I need something from Shi Feiyang after this is over."

Zhong Renwang immediately responded with excitement, unable to hide the exhilaration on his face.

As if he could already see Shi Feiyang fallen at his feet, his voice trembled slightly, "As long as we can eliminate Shi Feiyang, everything is negotiable. Whatever Lady Liu needs, we have no objections. At that time, just give the word and we will go through fire and water for you! After it’s done, any request you have, we, the Beggar Gang, will fully support!" He thought to himself: as long as Shi Feiyang can be eliminated, nothing else matters.

At this moment, the gaze of the three met as if they could already foresee the upcoming victory.

Each harbored their own thoughts, but their common goal united them. Xie Zhichuan, though helpless, understood this was the best choice; Liu Yanran was plotting to make use of this opportunity; while Zhong Renwang was entirely focused on the desire for victory.

In this intricate game, everyone was working for their own benefit.

Though full of reluctance in his heart, Xie Zhichuan could only grit his teeth and reluctantly accept Liu Yanran’s plan. A trace of suppressed displeasure crossed his face, and he responded in a low and constrained voice, "Yes, everything will be as Lady Liu commands." However, deep down, he silently criticized: This Liu Yanran is indeed no simple character, even taking advantage of the situation to set conditions.

Liu Yanran’s lips curled into a cold smile, with a confident and triumphant look on his face, secretly rejoicing: This time, Shi Feiyang, you can’t escape. "Good, then let’s proceed according to the plan. Go back and prepare. Once Shi Feiyang steps into the ambush, follow my signal, and we’ll take action together." His voice exuded confidence and control.

Zhong Renwang and Xie Zhichuan exchanged glances, a slight smirk of triumph appearing on their faces, almost twisted as they replied in unison, "Understood, Lady Liu!" Their voices were filled with submission and anticipation, as if they could already see the moment Shi Feiyang falls into the trap.

With that, the three each dispersed. A conspiracy against Shi Feiyang, like an invisible net, quietly unfolded under the mists of Divine Water Palace, silently waiting for the prey to step in.

Zhong Wanwang and Zhong Wanqiang, two young men who had just turned twenty, handsome in appearance, came filled with hope but returned disappointed, not even getting a glimpse of Liu Tingting’s face, feeling inevitably unwilling. Their eyes showed signs of disappointment and frustration, as if fate had made fools of them.

Zhong Renwang took note of this, secretly plotting in his heart, knowing these two youngsters are good pieces in his hands and can’t let them go home disappointed.

His eyes turned, a plan coming to mind, first showing a concerned expression, he patted the shoulders of his two sons, smiling as he said, "Don’t worry, you two, there’s still a chance."

His voice was gentle, full of an elder’s concern, but actually hid calculations. He had already devised a plan, ready to use these two young men to serve his purpose. He needed to turn them into pawns in his hands to pave the way for his ambition.

Xie Zhichuan also chimed in, guiding, "Two brothers, if you perform well in the assassination of Shi Feiyang, naturally you can win Liu Tingting’s favor. Moreover, I heard Liu Tingting is passionate about cultivation, why not collect some cultivation secrets from the Jianghu and give them to her? Surely, Liu Tingting will develop a fondness for you?" Upon hearing this, Zhong Wanwang and Zhong Wanqiang couldn’t help but laugh broadly.

Zhong Renwang saw his sons’ reactions, coldly smirking in his heart, but still kept a kind smile on his face, secretly thinking: Hmph, these foolish boys, once you help me eliminate Shi Feiyang, aren’t all the benefits mine? By then, whether Liu Tingting wants to marry over is up to me.

He appeared to plan for his sons’ future, but in fact, was using their affection to achieve his sinister purpose.

Zhong Renwang secretly calculated that once Shi Feiyang is removed, he could establish higher prestige in the Jianghu, perhaps even become a dominant figure. And Liu Tingting, known in the Jianghu as a renowned cultivator, her support would undoubtedly provide him with immense help.
