Chapter 643: Overbearing (Happy New Year's Eve)

Xu Yang left the Ghost Tower without being careless. The two half-spirit weapons he sold this time were both obtained from the Song family, and the spirit iron also came from the Profound Heaven Sect; he could not afford any slip-ups.

After turning through several alleys and changing his clothes, he found no one following him, and he thought he was safe and that the Ghost Tower had no evil intentions.

However, after turning out of another alley, he discovered a prying gaze behind him. This gaze carried a hint of familiarity; it was precisely the man carrying the tray at the Ghost Tower earlier.

"How did he catch up?"

He spread his mind out and saw that the man from the Ghost Tower had changed his makeup, wearing a human-skin mask, and was carrying an iron cage in his hand with a mouse inside.

"They really want to kill me to silence me," Xu Yang sneered.

Three spirit herbs were enough to make the people at the Ghost Tower disregard their credibility.

"Perfect, I'm missing a human-skin mask."

The human-skin mask on the Ghost Tower man's face was exquisitely crafted; if it weren't for his five senses remembering the other party's gaze, he would not have been able to see any flaws from the appearance.

Ahead was another alley, and Xu Yang suddenly accelerated and rushed in.

"It's useless!"

The Ghost Tower man was not in a hurry, walking into the alley at a steady pace, only to see that it was a dead end, completely empty inside.

"Squeak, squeak..."

In the iron cage, the Tracking Mouse let out squeaking sounds, signaling the direction above to the Ghost Tower man.

"Did he go up to the roof?" The Ghost Tower man was indifferent and wanted to leap onto the house next to him.

Looking up, he saw a familiar figure floating in mid-air, the face under the bamboo hat seemingly having two gazes about to condense into substance piercing out, staring at him intensely.

A Heavenly Origin martial artist!

The Ghost Tower man was terrified, his pupils contracting violently. Floating in mid-air—this was a method only Heavenly Origin martial artists possessed.

Didn't the shopkeeper say this person was only about twenty years old? At this age, even people like Xu Yang, Jiang Fan, and Zhang Hanzhou of the Profound Heaven Sect had not broken through to Heavenly Origin.

This idiot let himself, a Marrow Cleansing Major Success person, rob a Heavenly Origin expert?

"Uh... I took the wrong road. Greetings, Senior," the Ghost Tower man suppressed the terror in his heart and said calmly.

The human-skin mask on his face was the work of a master and could pass for the real thing; even though he had just crossed paths with this Heavenly Origin martial artist at the Ghost Tower, he was confident the other party would not recognize him.

The Ghost Tower man cupped his hands and wanted to retreat.

The next moment, he felt a pressure as vast as a mountain descend upon him, his legs trembling uncontrollably, and he knelt on the ground with a thud.

"This junior was just passing by. Senior, please spare my life!" The Ghost Tower man said with a trembling voice.

Xu Yang descended, grabbed through the air, and the human-skin mask on the man's face came off, revealing his original appearance.

In an instant, the Ghost Tower man's face turned ashen, and he stopped arguing.

"Tell me, when did you lay your hands on me?"

Xu Yang toyed with the finely crafted mask in his hand and then carefully put it away. He still did not know when the other party had laid their hands on him.

"If Senior promises to let me go, I will certainly tell you everything I know," the Ghost Tower man said.

Xu Yang nodded without hesitation: "Good!"

"That room had been sprayed with a special fragrance long ago; anyone who enters the room will be stained with the special scent."

The Ghost Tower man's face showed joy; he did not doubt Xu Yang's words. A Heavenly Origin expert's word is as good as gold; it was impossible for him to deceive him, and a Heavenly Origin expert would not deign to do such a thing.

He poured out the secret of that room all at once.

"So that's how it is!"

Xu Yang nodded: "How many Heavenly Origin experts does the Ghost Tower have?"

The Ghost Tower man was terrified. Was the other party going to make a move against the Ghost Tower?

"I don't know. I'm just a small fry in the Ghost Tower and can't come into contact with everyone."

He shook his head; how many Heavenly Origin experts the Ghost Tower had was not something he could know.

"Senior, can I go now?" The Ghost Tower man said cautiously.

Xu Yang nodded: "In such a hurry? Let me send you off."

"You..."

The Ghost Tower man was shocked; the other party did not want to let him go. A dignified Heavenly Origin expert actually had no credibility at all.

His entire body's Gang Qi exploded, his muscles and bones roared as he wanted to escape, but even though he used all his strength and his face turned red, the pressure on him did not shake even a fraction, and he didn't even have the ability to stand up.

Xu Yang stepped forward, his palm lightly patting the Ghost Tower man's forehead. With a thud, the Ghost Tower man bled from his seven orifices, his eyes widened, and his body went limp as he fell to the ground.

Stepping on the mouse in the cage to kill it, he leaned down to loot the corpse.

However, other than a few hundred taels of silver, there was nothing else.

Glancing in the direction of the Ghost Tower, he turned and strode away.

In a short while, the corpse in the alley was discovered, and someone recognized it as a waiter from the nearby Ghost Tower, immediately going to notify the Ghost Tower.

"Dead?" The Ghost Tower shopkeeper was shocked.

He knew very well how strong this subordinate of his was; even geniuses of the Profound Heaven Sect like Xu Yang and Li Chuyang could not kill him within fifty moves.

Rushing to the alley, he indeed saw his subordinate lying on the ground, bleeding from his seven orifices, already dead.

"No power to fight back, killed in one blow!"

The Ghost Tower shopkeeper reached a conclusion after an inspection: the person who exchanged the three spirit herbs was a Heavenly Origin expert. Only a Heavenly Origin expert could kill his subordinate in one blow without any power to fight back.

"I actually misjudged him!"

"Does the shopkeeper want to pursue?" The waiter beside him asked.

"The Tower Master is not here; don't take risks," the Ghost Tower shopkeeper shook his head.

Although he was also Heavenly Origin, even if he could catch up, he was not confident he could kill the other party. This grudge could only be avenged later.

Xu Yang did not return to the Profound Heaven Sect immediately. He waited in the city for a while, and seeing that the people from the Ghost Tower did not catch up, he vibrated his Gang Origin to clear the scent from his body and left Qingyang City.

After traveling four or five kilometers, he saw Song Wending and a man walking from the opposite direction. Song Wending was half a step behind the man, his waist slightly bent, looking very respectful, like a lackey.

The man looked to be about forty years old; he did not recognize him, and he was not wearing the clothes of the Profound Heaven Sect.

Xu Yang narrowed his eyes. This was truly a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road. He actually encountered Song Wending here. The road from Qingyang City to the Profound Heaven Sect was a notorious killing field; it was no exaggeration to say that countless people were buried here, with white bones piled high.

"Brother Yin, he is Xu Yang."

Song Wending whispered behind the man. The man's gaze, which had been indifferent, suddenly looked over, his face full of arrogance.

Immediately after, he strode over: "You are Xu Yang!"

Yin Hao scrutinized Xu Yang, the disciple known as the greatest genius of the Profound Heaven Sect this year, his eyes filled with contempt.

At this time, he had not yet broken through to Heavenly Origin, so his talent was not too stunning, much worse than Han Yingjie.

At this age, Han Yingjie had already pierced through the Gate of Heaven and Earth, opened up the inside and outside, and drawn the power of heaven and earth to irrigate his body.

"That is correct!" Xu Yang smiled.

Yin Hao said: "My name is Yin Hao, and I am one of the followers of Lord Han Yingjie. I came specifically from Yunzhou to handle the Song family's affairs. Lord Han is already aware of the matter between you and the Song family.

Lord Han instructed that it is not easy to be fellow disciples, so he will not pursue your failure to save them. Although the Song family sent people to kill you several times, they did not cause you any harm, so you should not think about retaliating against the Song family, otherwise, when you enter the Tiance Academy in the future, you will not have a good time."

With this tone, one who didn't know better would think he was Han Yingjie himself.

However, since Han Yingjie sent him to handle the Song family's affairs with full authority, he indeed represented Han Yingjie's will.

Once these words were spoken, Xu Yang had little reaction, but Song Wending's expression changed slightly.

The matter of the Song family sending people to kill Xu Yang several times was something Xu Yang was not supposed to know on the surface, so in their view, there was no grudge between Xu Yang and the Song family.

Originally, he wanted to ask Yin Hao to kill Xu Yang to avenge Song Wenxuan and the others and fulfill the wishes of the clan leader Song Shirong and the others, but after Yin Hao asked Han Yingjie for instructions, Han Yingjie did not agree.

Since he didn't agree, the matter should just end there.

He did not expect that after Yin Hao knew the person in front of him was Xu Yang, he would directly state the matter of the Song family sending people to kill Xu Yang several times.

"As expected of Han Yingjie's follower, their actions are truly overbearing. They don't care about Xu Yang at all. They sent people to kill you, so what if they tell you directly?

Do you dare to take revenge? Do you have the ability to take revenge?" Song Wending realized and sighed inwardly. ===== CHAPTER 644 =====
