Chapter 0406 – Cold Snow’s Temptation – Absolute Return

“Why did you tell them?” Yang Shen suddenly asked, his tone icy cold.

“Tell them what?”

“Location of the test site.”

Yang Zhong’s heart sank when he heard this.

He had almost forgotten that he had told the Devil’s Cult about all the locations where the test subjects were being held.

“I …… I told them at that time in order to live. You refused the Demon Cult’s request for a hostage exchange, and I had to tell them in order to stay alive.”

However, father and son usually seldom communicate, Yang Zhong simply do not dare to say this heart.

He forced himself to hold back the aggravation in his heart, and said according to what Jian Wuji had taught him to say, “I was trying to lure them there and then catch them all in one go. I believe that you must have set up traps at the new testing ground, waiting for them to throw themselves into the net.”

However, Yang Shen did not eat this.

“If you were coerced by them to reveal the location of the test site, then you should have told them a false address. You should have balked at the fact that you didn’t know the location of the test site.”

“My life was on the line, so where was I to care?”

Yang Zhong was aggrieved in his heart, but he didn’t dare to retort.

“It’s all your fault that Huang Su died.” Yang Shen said coldly.

Hwang Soo, is the person in charge of the test site.

“If he’s dead, he’s dead; is his life, more important than mine?”

Yang Zhong’s heart was burning with anger, but he didn’t dare to say anything. He knew that his father would definitely think he was being unreasonable.

“I was wrong, I won’t dare to do it again.” Yang Zhong lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

However, Yang Shen did not forgive him.

“You go.”

“What?”

“You go to Zhejiang and don’t come back without my order.”

Zhejiang, a thousand miles away from the Northern Blood Gate, Yang Shen’s move was tantamount to exiling Yang Zhong.

Yang Zhong froze, he didn’t expect that his father was going to kick him out of the Northern Blood Sect.

Yang Shen had always let his two sons compete against each other, but he had never explicitly stated to whom he would pass the Sect Master position. That was why Yang Zhong had always harbored the hope that he too had a chance to become the successor of the Northern Blood Sect.

He did a lot of things for this goal, even going so far as to do things that were not seen.

However, now he realized that it was all in vain.

“I’m not going! I’m not going anywhere!”

Yang Zhong finally exploded, he could no longer tolerate his father’s indifference and ruthlessness.

“I’ve done so much for the Northern Blood Sect, and you’re driving me away? I’m not convinced!”

“What do you take me for? A dog?”

This sentence, Yang Zhong did not say it after all.

“Pfft!”

The sound of a sharp blade piercing through flesh and blood interrupted Yang Zhong’s words.

He looked down, only to see a blood-stained rapier, piercing through his chest.

He raised his head in surprise and looked at the person in front of him with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

“Big brother?”

The person who assassinated him turned out to be his brother, the eldest son of the Northern Blood Sect, Yang Xi.

Yang Zhong had always regarded Yang XI as a rival, and he knew that Yang XI had always regarded him as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.

But what Yang Zhong didn’t understand was why his father would allow Yang Xi to do this.

“Why? Why did you save me back and kill me again?” Yang Zhong looked at his father, his eyes filled with resentment and incomprehension.

“The bloodline of the Northern Blood Sect cannot be shed.” Yang Shen said coldly, “You can only die in the hands of our own people.”

These words, to Yang Zhong’s ears, were so absurd.

If that was the case, then one should have agreed to the Demon Cult’s conditions and exchanged him back in the first place. Even if they didn’t agree, they should have found a way to send him to Zhejiang instead of killing him.

“Pfft!”

Yang XI drew his sword again, and blood spurted out as Yang Zhong fell to the ground, dying of gas.

Zhou Kui and Huang Qiu, who had previously been captured along with Yang Zhong, had also been secretly executed.

“The young master of the Demon Cult has taken up residence in the Ice Palace and started investigating the death of the previous Palace Master.” Yang Shen said to Yang Xi.

“I’ll clean up all the clues.”

“This matter concerns the survival of the Northern Blood Sect, you must be careful.”

“The child understands.”

After Yang XI left, Yang Shen looked at Yang Zhong’s corpse with mixed feelings in his heart.

He was not a heartless person, but for the Northern Blood Sect, he could only sacrifice his own son.

The Drunken Demon was in the garden of the Ice Palace, pacing back and forth with a frown on his face.

“I know the answer, and the answer is in my heart.”

He felt that Jian Wuji was right, the former Palace Master was uncontested with the world, and her death must have something to do with drunkenness.

As he walked, he looked through the letters the former Palace Master had written to him, trying to find some clues in them.

Li An stood by the window, looking at the Drunken Devil’s figure, and secretly said in his heart, “Big brother Drunken Devil, what on earth is troubling you?”

Cold Snow sat on the edge of the bed, not saying a word, the luggage she had brought with her, still sitting there, unopened.

“Do you regret it? Regret agreeing to work with them?” Li An asked.

Cold Snow gave her a cold look and didn’t say anything.

Seeing this, Li An also stopped pursuing the question and continued to look out the window.

The people outside were troubled, and so were the people in the room. And the culprit for all of this, Sword Wuji, was nowhere to be found.

“Don’t you think, you’ve been cheated?” Cold Snow suddenly asked.

Li An turned his head to look at Cold Snow and asked, “You mean the Young Sect Master?”

Coldsnow nodded.

Li An knew that Cold Snow thought she was being used by Jian Wu Ji.

She wanted to laugh it off, but in the end, she decided that she would do right by Jian Wuji.

“Maybe.” Li An said, “But I was tricked into curing the aftereffects left by practicing martial arts. I had been troubled by this before but couldn’t find a solution.”

Lee Ann didn’t say exactly what the aftermath was.

“I learned the swordsmanship of my dreams because I was tricked into becoming the leader of an organization I never thought I’d join. I became the adopted daughter of a father I never thought I’d have because I was tricked into it.”

Cold Snow didn’t care what sword techniques Li An had learned or what organization he had joined, but she was curious about Li An’s righteous father, however.

“Who are you talking about?”

“It’s the Demon Lord of this sect, Lord Fist Demon.” Li An replied truthfully.

“You’re Fist Demon’s righteous daughter?” Cold Snow asked in surprise.

She didn’t realize that Li An was the righteous daughter of the Fist Demon.

“Could it be that the Young Sect Master values you so much because of this?”

“No, it’s because I met the Young Sect Master that I became Lord Fist Demon’s righteous daughter.”

“Because I was tricked, I became friends with Huang Quan???? , the Horse Monarch became a drunken friend, and the person who originally wanted to become the next Demon Lord became the captain of the organization I lead.”

Everything Li An said made Cold Snow feel incredulous, and she even wondered if Li An was making up stories. But on second thought, she thought that Li An should not dare to lie to her face, right?

“And now, I’m actually able to talk with the Northern Sea Ice Palace’s Young Palace Master. If I hadn’t been tricked by the Young Sect Master, I might still be somewhere right now, guarding the gate in obscurity.”

Liam’s eyes, clear and determined.

“Do you think that, in my life, I’ve been cheated out of a good deal of value?”

The reason why she had to say all this was not just to dispel Coldsnow’s misunderstanding of Jian Wuji, but because she felt that Coldsnow was different from the others.

“It may be hard for you to believe, but what I’m saying is true. Sometimes, even I find it unbelievable, as if it was all a dream.” Li An said, “That’s why I advised you before, to trust the Young Sect Master. However, now I should say it differently.”

Liam paused and continued, “You should try and be fooled by the lesser godfather once.”

The gazes of the two men, met in the air.

Cold Snow still couldn’t understand or believe it. However, she saw sincerity in Li An’s clear eyes.

Just then, the Drunken Demon suddenly rushed into the room and asked loudly, “Where is the Young Sect Master? Where is the Young Sect Master?”

“He went out on an errand, why?” Liam asked.

The Drunken Devil looked a little excited and said, “I know the answer!”
