Chapter 476 Calculations Fall Through

Yuan Xiaoyun remained unfazed under Ma Lu's scrutiny, "Younger apprentice brother, are you starting to doubt me again? But have you ever considered one thing?"

"Please enlighten me, elder apprentice brother."

"If those people could disguise themselves as members of the Merry Woods, why couldn't they impersonate the remnants of Tongtian Village as well?

Yuan Xiaoyun spoke gently, "It has been more than twenty years since our master led the effort to wipe out Tongtian Village. Moreover, Elder Lu has just mentioned that they went up the mountain with the determination to eradicate evil without leaving a single survivor, and they confirmed repeatedly afterward that indeed no one was left alive.@@@@

"Now, suddenly a group of Tongtian Village remnants has appeared. Isn't that strange? Besides, no matter who these people are, they are obviously targeting our Beggars' Sect and will naturally use all means to create confusion, causing us to doubt each other. The more such a situation arises, the more we should trust each other. Otherwise, aren't we playing right into their hands?"

"Guardian Yuan is right!"

"Young Master Ma, don't be deceived by the villains and become their accomplice!"

Yuan Xiaoyun's words won the agreement of many people around him, largely because he had considerable prestige within the sect. Although not as revered as Chu Qianyuan, he had always been diligent in his duties, and most of the Beggar's Gang members had a favorable impression of him; emotionally, they were unwilling to accept that he could be a traitor.

Ma Lu glanced at Chu Qianyuan next to him. He was Deng Youtai's eldest disciple and had been the first to be initiated. Moreover, Chu Qianyuan was by Deng Youtai's side when they exterminated Tongtian Village, so he should know something. However, it seemed he had made up his mind to remain silent.

Yuan Xiaoyun continued, "Of course, younger apprentice brother, your speculations along with those of Catcher Gu are not without merit. You may as well continue to investigate along those lines. Ah, it's indeed not appropriate to make a move against the Heavenly Dragon Sect before the truth is clear."

Before Yuan Xiaoyun could finish speaking, suddenly a young beggar ran in from outside, frantic, and shouted.

"It's bad, Deputy Gang Leader Jiang, elders, and guardians, the scoundrels from the Heavenly Dragon Sect are heading our way!"

"What?!" Enjoy new adventures from My Virtual Library Empire

Everyone was shocked at the news, but then Deputy Gang Leader Jiang and the others were not concerned but pleased, as the Law Enforcement Elder shouted loudly, "Perfect timing! It saves us the trouble of catching them one by one."

The assembly had already agreed to attack the Heavenly Dragon Sect today and gathered the sect's elite in one place, along with many martial arts masters who had come to lend a hand. However, they decided to postpone the attack after Ma Lu unexpectedly intervened.

Although nobody openly said it, many people harbored this thought in their hearts at that moment.

Deputy Gang Leader Jiang stamped her foot, "What are you standing around for, go look for Guardian Yuan... Ah, and offer him assistance."

......

Yuan Xiaoyun did indeed need help, but not to deal with the person wielding the Soft Whip, who was actually one of his own men tasked with leading the Beggars' Gang pursuers away.

Up to this point, Yuan Xiaoyun couldn't comprehend how his plan had fallen through.

He had meticulously calculated everything. The Beggars' Sect and the Heavenly Dragon Sect were on the brink of war, and he intended to use the chaos to eliminate everyone involved in the massacre at Tongtian Village all those years ago.

Yuan Xiaoyun didn't have much attachment to revenge. Even upon finding out that his father was Ren Tongtian, his heart didn't waver much.

After all, his birth was accidental, the result of Ren Tongtian raping a medicinal ingredient he had intended to use in his elixirs while drunk.

Soon after Yuan Xiaoyun's mother gave birth to him, she was taken by Ren Tongtian to concoct his Longevity Pill.

Ren Tongtian was a selfish and heartless man. Deep down, Yuan Xiaoyun despised his biological father. In fact, apart from the bandits who followed Ren Tongtian in his pillaging and crimes, there were probably none in this world who wished to avenge Ren Tongtian.

However, Yuan Xiaoyun admitted that once he carefully investigated the events of the past, he was tempted by the legacy Ren Tongtian left behind.

The wealth Ren Tongtian amassed through years of robbery was secondary; what was more important was his Martial Arts.

Although Ren Tongtian's reputation in martial arts circles wasn't particularly illustrious, it should be known that more than two decades ago, he was capable of standing up to Deng Youtai and several Beggars' Sect Elders and protectors by himself, enduring their siege for a long time.

If he had lived to this day, his Martial Arts Cultivation might well have made him the greatest expert of the age, mightn't it?

Yuan Xiaoyun, a disciple of Deng Youtai, was also quite envious of such Divine Technique.
