Chapter 68 Leaving the Zhao Family
"Hmph! Do you think I would reveal the location of our Witch Sect from me? You're deluding yourself!"
"After I die, powerful members of the Witch Sect will find you and flay you a thousand times over as vengeance for me!"
The senior brother snorted coldly, roaring in anger.
The next second, Ye Jiu's expression changed slightly, and he immediately rushed toward the senior brother.
But even though his speed was swift, he was still a step too late.
Knowing he was no match for Ye Ling, the senior brother didn't hesitate to commit suicide by poison.
Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth; not the fresh red one expects, but a deep, ink-like black, indicative of the venom's potency.
"I'll be waiting for you down below..."
With those words, the senior brother collapsed with a thunderous fall, lifeless.
The blood from his mouth corroded the ground, creating holes wherever it flowed.
Where the blood on his face had passed, flesh had already decayed, revealing stark white bones.
"Damn! This guy was so ruthless!"
Ye Jiu cursed angrily, his expression darkening.
Ye Ling chuckled and patted his shoulder, saying, "I never planned to get the location of the Witch Sect from him anyway, so there's no need for regret."
The Witch Sect was rumored to be hidden deep within the Vast Mountains, having several branches. Whether these three were from the main sect or merely a branch was still unknown.
Even if one were to pry the location of their base from them, it could well just be a branch of the Witch Sect.
Ye Ling wasn't overly concerned about this.
He was clear in his mind that having killed three disciples of the Witch Sect today, one of whom was their senior brother, the folks of the Witch Sect would not let this slide easily and would surely send more people later on.
The opportunity to press the Witch Sect would come later!
Ye Ling did not believe that every person in the Witch Sect was as cruel and resolute in suicide as this senior brother.
"Clean up this mess, and there's no need for the Zhao family to exist any longer."
Ye Ling said indifferently.
Having said this, he then turned and walked toward the outside.
Meanwhile, Ye Jiu disappeared instantly like a specter.
In the courtyard, the guests were still seated, some still merrily passing cups and drinking!
Although Ye Jiu's earlier action of killing Zhao Family's eldest young master and Lin Yuan had scared many, there were others, heartless and indifferent, who were not concerned at all!
Although Lin Yuan was only Lin Zhantian's nephew, Lin Zhantian had always intended to groom him as his successor to lead the Hall!
But now, such a nephew, who held a great place in Lin Zhantian's heart, was dead.
If this news reached the Hall, if it reached Lin Zhantian's ears, it would be like an earthquake and tsunami—a massive event.
Coach Shen sitting in the passenger seat also looked grave, with fear filling his eyes.
Just thinking about Lin Zhantian's ruthless methods made him shiver uncontrollably.
"Even if it means death, we must report to the Hall Master that Young Master Lin was murdered!"
"If we conceal this and do not report, when the Hall Master eventually finds out, we will only die even more miserably!"
After a long silence, as if he had made up his mind, Coach Shen spoke.
With that, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, Hall Master... Lin... Young Master Lin has been murdered..."
Once the call connected, Coach Shen's voice trembled as he spoke.
There was a long silence on the phone before a powerful voice slowly responded, "Who did it?"
"I do not know the exact identity of the person, only that he is the son-in-law of the Su family, named Ye Ling!"
Coach Shen immediately replied.
"The Su family?"
"Back to Hall Master, the Su family is but a second-rate family; it's normal for the Hall Master to be unaware!"
Hearing Lin Zhantian's voice filled with confusion on the phone, Coach Shen quickly explained the Su family's situation!
Upon hearing this, there was another pause on the phone.
"Come back to the Hall immediately; I will decide on this matter myself."
"Yes! I am already on my way to the Hall!"
Hearing Lin Zhantian's words, Coach Shen immediately responded.
After that, Lin Zhantian ended the call without any further idle talk.
"Coach Shen, what did the Hall Master say..."
The driving disciple asked tremulously.
Coach Shen let out a bitter smile and said, "The Hall Master is unfathomable; how could I possibly deduce his thoughts from just a few brief words?"
"Back to the Hall, whether it's life or death, it is no longer up to us to decide..."
