Cultivating for Immorality: I Evolved Martial Arts into the Immortal Path – Chapter 55

Chapter 55: Wu Qian’s Life and Death

Roll in here?

Hearing this voice, Master Hu’s eyelids twitched.

Wu Neng and the others told Chu Liang to roll out, but Chu Liang told them to roll in. This response was really…

Master Hu didn’t know how to describe it. He just felt that the uneasy feeling in his heart was growing stronger.

The two sides were at loggerheads, and neither was willing to give in.

In this situation, perhaps an unlucky third party would be implicated.

And Master Hu was the most likely person in the village to become that third party.

“Chu Liang, please don’t be impulsive. Go out and talk to Wu Neng and the others. You’re going to be in the county town eventually. You can’t always be against them.”

Master Hu prayed silently in his heart, hoping that this matter wouldn’t involve him.

In the village, the other villagers didn’t dare to breathe loudly.

The atmosphere was extremely tense.

Second Uncle was worried. He wanted to help Chu Liang, but he simply didn’t have the ability.

“Those big shots from the county town are too much. They clearly left yesterday, but they came back again this morning,” Chu Shan complained beside him. “Could it be that only shameless people can become big shots?”

“A-Shan, stop talking!”

Second Aunt glared at him, signaling him to shut up.

Martial artists had very keen senses, and she was afraid they would hear these words.

“Oh…”

Chu Shan wisely shut his mouth and turned to look at Chu Liang’s yard.

Unlike Second Uncle, although he was also worried, he was more expectant.

In his eyes, Chu Liang seemed to have never bowed his head.

Whether it was facing Master Hu before or facing the martial artists from the county town this time, Chu Liang’s posture was quite strong, as if his knees and spine were made of iron and couldn’t be bent.

What would those big shots from the county town think?

“Those big shots must be furious, right?” Chu Shan thought.

He was right.

Outside the village, Wu Neng and his group were furious.

Some of them were so angry that they even drew their weapons on the spot, intending to rush into the village and drag Chu Liang out by force.

“Tell us to roll in? Who the hell gave him the guts?”

“He really doesn’t know what’s good for him!”

“I’m going to skin him alive, break his bones one by one, and then we’ll see if he’s still so tough!”

They were all holding back their anger, which had been building up since last night.

Yesterday, when they first met, Chu Liang didn’t show them any respect at all, and his words were full of provocation.

If it were Song Zhong who was targeting them, they could understand, because Song Zhong had the strength. But what was Chu Liang?

Even if it wasn’t for Wu Qian and the tiger demon’s corpse, they would still want to deal with Chu Liang.

If they didn’t take action, they might burst from holding it in!

“Who’s going in to kill him?”

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with rage.

If they really rushed into the village, it would be exactly what Chu Liang meant by “roll in.”

This was a simple verbal trap, easy to see through, not complicated, but particularly disgusting.

“Chu Liang! Are you a cowardly turtle?”

One of the team members roared.

He shouted, “If you have the guts, then roll out and fight me. I’ll let you have one hand!”

After that, several others in the team shouted, insulting Chu Liang in various ways, like a group of shrewish women.

In their anger, they didn’t care about anything else.

But no matter how much they cursed, even until their voices were hoarse and their throats were dry, Chu Liang didn’t make any move.

Inside the yard.

Chu Liang looked calm and leisurely, slowly sipping his tea.

The shouting outside was like the buzzing of flies to his ears, unable to cause much emotional fluctuation.

Don’t get angry.

Anger hurts the liver.

After a while, he finally shouted unhurriedly, “Are you all tired of shouting? I have some excellent ginseng tea in my yard. If your throats are uncomfortable, you can roll in and have a taste.”

His voice was melodious, slowly drifting out of the yard.

◈◈◈

Hearing this, Wu Neng and the others outside the village were almost driven mad with anger.

One of them was so angry that his face turned red, his Qi and blood surged, his skin became hot, and his head actually started to emit white smoke.

Fuming with anger!

Wu Neng’s expression was gloomy, and he shouted fiercely, “Chu Liang, I’ll just ask you one question. What did you do to my brother, Wu Qian?”

There was also a trap in his words. He didn’t ask if Chu Liang had seen Wu Qian, but directly asked what he had done.

If Chu Liang wasn’t careful, he might subconsciously reveal that he had seen Wu Qian late at night.

“Wu Qian?”

Chu Liang’s calm voice drifted out. “I have no dealings with him. What could I do to him?”

“Where were you last night?” Wu Neng questioned again.

“Of course, I was resting in my house. Don’t you all need to rest?” Chu Liang asked in surprise. “Come to think of it, you all traveled all night. You must be tired.”

“Don’t try to be glib!”

Wu Neng’s expression was unfriendly as he stared at Chu Liang’s distant yard.

He seemed to have a bad temper, but in fact, he was the one with the strongest emotional control in the entire team. Unlike the others, he wasn’t affected by anger at this moment.

Hearing Chu Liang’s answer, he didn’t question him again but fell into deep thought.

As they had analyzed before, with Chu Liang’s strength, it was unlikely that he could have taken Wu Qian’s life.

“Could it be that A-Qian really encountered a powerful demon beast and was careless, letting the demon beast take his life?”

Wu Neng didn’t want to speculate in this direction, but now he had to.

They were indeed careless last night, thinking that with the tiger demon dead, there shouldn’t be any more demon beast attacks in the vicinity for a short time.

These demon beasts all had their own territories and didn’t interfere with each other.

After one demon beast died, it would take some time for the other demon beasts to start probing and gradually occupying its territory.

“What do you all think?”

Wu Qian turned around and asked the others.

The others in the team had similar thoughts, believing that the possibility of a demon beast was greater.

Of course, Wu Qian wasn’t necessarily dead. After all, they hadn’t seen his body.

He was just missing for now.

Maybe he encountered something and had to leave temporarily, going to a place no one could think of.

“Boss, even if it wasn’t for Second Brother, we still have to teach this kid a lesson!” one of them said, his words filled with undisguised malice towards Chu Liang.

“That’s right. He dares to act like this while he’s still in the village. If he goes to the Martial Alliance in the future, he might even try to walk all over us!”

“I think he’ll probably join Song Zhong’s demon hunting team.”

“If that’s the case, Song Zhong’s team will be even more disgusting in the future!”

In everyone’s eyes, Chu Liang was basically already tied to Song Zhong.

Song Zhong was Chu Liang’s guide to the Martial Alliance.

If they had to choose a small group to join, martial artists would mostly prioritize the organization where their guide was.

“Alright.”

Wu Neng turned around, looked at Chu Liang’s yard, and said coldly, “This kid must be eliminated. Before that, I want to interrogate him. We need to find a way to get him out of here, but… we can’t use the previous method. Just shouting won’t get him out!”

“Boss, then what should we do?”

“Don’t be hasty.”

Wu Neng’s cold gaze shifted to the Hu Family Mansion, and he shouted coldly, “Surname Hu, get your ass out here!”

Inside the Hu Family Mansion, Master Hu’s heart skipped a beat.

He couldn’t help but complain inwardly.

What did this have to do with him?

He hadn’t made a sound from beginning to end, fearing that he would attract the attention of either party.

But even so, he was still targeted by Wu Neng and the others.
