Chapter 581: Wronged, You Die First

"Alarmist talk! Based on the strength of the Lord, who in the world dares to oppose him? Who dares to have an opinion? Your Hua Family thinks too highly of itself!"

Bowing to Shen Yu, Liang Ruyue then turned his head to look at Hua Wuyi, his face filled with disdain.

"The Lord will not wrong a good person, nor will he let a bad person go. If your Hua Family is truly guilty, then you absolutely cannot escape."

"As for being an enemy of the martial arts world, that is even more of a joke! Everyone the Lord has killed deserved to die. Are all the people in the martial arts world blind?"

"You! You are a Black-Clad Guard, you should understand that this world is not just black and white!"

Gritting his teeth, Hua Wuyi almost shouted, "The people in the martial arts world are just blind!"

Some things are understood without being said; everyone knows it in their hearts. What is the martial arts world? Do you really think that upholding justice and settling grudges with a sword is the martial arts world?

Wherever there are people, there is a martial arts world; wherever there are conflicts of interest, there is a martial arts world. People in the martial arts world care more about interests; right and wrong are not important in their eyes.

The reason those so-called righteous sects painstakingly maintain their reputation for chivalry—aside from a few who truly have their hearts set on justice—is it not mostly because this reputation brings them benefits?

When it involves their own interests, who cares if you are acting for justice? They will all risk their lives.

Your Lord wipes out families and destroys houses every few days; it is bound to make the entire martial arts world anxious. Even if those people cannot beat him, they will inevitably throw mud at him.

Three people can create a tiger, and public clamor can melt gold; when the time comes, just wait for all kinds of blame to be dumped on you.

I may not be able to beat you, but I can disgust you. If you don't believe me, you can try!

Besides, the one who is powerful is Shen Yu; what are you, a nobody, acting so arrogant for?

If it weren't for the fact that you are someone by Shen Yu's side, you wouldn't even have the qualifications to speak to me, the eldest young master of the dignified Hua Family.

Bah, you fox borrowing the tiger's might.

On the other side, Liang Ruyue completely ignored Hua Wuyi's angry expression and directly requested, "Lord, let me go and investigate the Hua Family. Once a large family like the Hua Family does harm, it will inevitably affect countless people."

"If the Hua Family is truly innocent, that would be for the best. If the Hua Family is hiding filth and corruption in secret, then I ask the Lord to deal with them!"

"Lord, you must not listen to his words; this course of action must absolutely not be taken!"

As soon as Liang Ruyue's words came out, Hua Wuyi almost cursed. He didn't know why this Black-Clad Guard was always targeting him, but Hua Wuyi understood that he must never let Liang Ruyue investigate.

This Black-Clad Guard seemed to have an opinion about the Hua Family. If he were allowed to investigate, even if there was nothing, he would guarantee he could find something.

Although the Hua Family governs itself strictly, it is inevitable that such a large tree has branches that have grown crooked. Among so many Hua family members, there are quite a few who do not act like human beings behind the scenes.

The Lord Shen before him is someone who cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes. If he were to vent his anger on the entire Hua Family because of these few people, then the Hua Family would be finished.

"Why not? Is it because you have a guilty conscience?" Liang Ruyue didn't just have an opinion about the Hua Family; he had a very strong one.

It was your Hua family member who sold him tea, and it was your Hua family member who poisoned the tea. In the end, it was he who handed the poisoned tea to Shen Yu.

That was only because their Lord is magnanimous; otherwise, if it were someone with a more irritable temper, he would have been 'crack!' finished on the spot.

With such a deep grudge, you still want me to let it go lightly? Your grandfather here does not wait overnight to take revenge!

If this matter really has nothing to do with the Hua Family, then so be it. But if it really is related, he and the Black-Clad Guards under his command are not to be trifled with.

Pointing a finger at Liang Ruyue, Hua Wuyi was suddenly filled with rage, "You, you are spouting blood, you..."

In his anxiety, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest. His hand involuntarily covered his chest, and it seemed as if some warm liquid in his throat wanted to spray out.

"So this is the eldest young master of the Hua Family, tsk tsk!" Seeing Hua Wuyi's action of clutching his chest in a fit of rage, Liang Ruyue looked on with disdain.

"Narrow-minded, incapable of achieving great things!"

"You, pfft..." The next moment, Hua Wuyi violently spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood. His entire aura withered in the blink of an eye and quickly approached disappearance.

"He's vomiting blood just like that? You, you!" Looking at the sudden change in Hua Wuyi, Liang Ruyue also panicked. He had only retorted a couple of times; it shouldn't be enough to make him vomit blood from anger.

"Lord, I didn't do anything! I really didn't do anything!"

"Hua Wuyi, I was just discussing the facts. I warn you, don't try to frame me!"

"Lord, you saw it too, it has nothing to do with me!"

"Step aside!" Pushing Liang Ruyue to the side, Shen Yu immediately probed with his hand, his brows slightly furrowed.

"It seems someone left a palm strike on him long ago. Once the time comes, the power of this palm strike will erupt."

"And the person who left the palm power is not weak. Once the power left inside Hua Wuyi's body erupts, it will directly destroy all his vitality."

"At this moment, his meridians are completely severed, and his body is riddled with holes. If I withdraw my hand, he will surely die!"

The internal energy from his hand was continuously input into Hua Wuyi's body, dispelling the power that was still destroying his body, and rapidly repairing his wounds with vast vitality.

"Hmph, this is an attempt to make Hua Wuyi die right here in my presence!"

"Diverting the disaster?" Hearing Shen Yu's words, Liang Ruyue was shocked in his heart. In an instant, he seemed to understand something: this was to provoke a conflict between the Hua Family and Shen Yu.

If Hua Wuyi died here, it would be like yellow mud falling into one's trousers—if it's not shit, it's still shit.

As long as someone pushes it along from behind and spreads some untrue rumors—for example, that their Lord learned the Hua Family had committed many evil deeds in secret and therefore wanted to wipe out the Hua Family.

At this time, it just so happens that someone wants to assassinate Shen Yu, and the person doing it is the World's Number One Assassin. Whether the Hua Family would want to protect themselves or use this opportunity to fight back is hard to say.

With just a little guidance, it would not be difficult to achieve this.

"Liang Ruyue, when you found the evidence of the Hua Family's crimes, how many people knew?"

"This... the Black-Clad Guards who went with me all know!"

"They all know? Then I suppose everyone should know within these two days. And Hua Wuyi happens to die here—what a coincidence!"

"This subordinate deserves to die!"

"No matter. If we don't let them have their way, how can we fish out the person behind all this!"

The energy input into Hua Wuyi's body accelerated a bit. Hua Wuyi's complexion gradually turned from pale to rosy. Before long, he was about the same as before, and his complexion was even better.

The next moment, Hua Wuyi suddenly opened his eyes, still looking around in a daze.

"Lord, this, this..."

"Just a small trick. Don't say he still had one breath left; even if he were dead, I could pull him back!"

"If you're alive, then get up!" Withdrawing his hand, Shen Yu nodded with satisfaction; his Sacred Heart Art was still somewhat useful.

"It's fortunate that you were in front of me, otherwise you would have truly died."

"I was just..." Recalling everything that had just happened, Hua Wuyi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

At the thought of the chain reaction that would be triggered if he were to die here at Shen Yu's side, Hua Wuyi was seized by a fit of panic. He had been too reckless, falling into someone else's scheme without even realizing it.

He then immediately said to Shen Yu with gratitude, "Many thanks, my lord! If not for you, my life would have been forfeit!"

"Don't be in such a hurry to thank me; for this period of time, you will have to suffer by staying dead!"

"Ah? My lord, this—what does this mean!"

"What 'ah'? The lord is telling you to play dead to lure out the person behind the scenes. Aren't you the eldest young master of the Hua Family? How can you not even understand this? Is your brain full of paste?"

"Oh, I almost forgot, it seems the next heir to the Hua Family is your third brother, right!"

As he spoke, Liang Ruyue circled the other man and looked him over, then shook his head, "Tsk tsk, I have to say, your father's decision was correct; with a brain like yours, you really aren't suited to take over such a large family business!"

"You, you, this is too much bullying!"
