See? I Told You They Weren't Necessarily Enemies!

Black Sha has succeeded, Black Sha has failed, Black Sha has wronged others, and Black Demon has been wronged by others... But Black Sha says that all the ups and downs of the past are nothing compared to the bizarre events that have happened today!

Don't even mention that the Lord doesn't believe me; even I, Black Sha, don't believe what I'm saying...

Hearing Black Sha's explanation, the master was so angry he almost wet himself...

The Lord said, "Black Sha, you've really made something of yourself now... If you ever did something behind my back before, you could at least come up with a somewhat plausible excuse."

But this time, you couldn't even be bothered to make up a reason... If you had just told me today that Meng Er had ulterior motives and that you took care of him, I wouldn't have been unable to accept it.

Do you think our lord is a fool? You watched Meng Er concoct poison for himself and then kill himself? Do you even listen to what a human being is saying?

Black Sha: "My lord... I've been truly wronged... Everything I said is the truth!"

Black Sha was teary-eyed right now... What the hell did he encounter today? He tried to poison his target to kill him, but not only was the target not killed, he even managed to break through to a higher level...

At this moment, Black Sha believed there was only one possibility: Meng Er was the problem!

That's right... Look at everything that's happening. When things become too bizarre, even the most unlikely thing can only be the only possibility!

Therefore, the only possibility is that Meng Er has a problem!

Meng Er put himself into the trap this time; what he had used before wasn't poison at all... That's why the three targets looked so energetic after drinking it.

Then Meng Er went mad and actually got himself involved, using his own death to frame me, Black Sha...

Black Sha said that after thinking about it, everything made sense. Hei Black Sha had always been the master's most trusted confidant, while the Meng Lineage had always wanted to go further, but because of some grudges between him and Hei Black Sha in the past, they had always been suppressed by Black Sha and unable to move forward.

In this situation, Meng Er was going all out; he was prepared to risk his own life to use this divisive tactic!

In this way, even if the master doesn't do anything to me, Black Sha, he certainly won't be able to trust me as much as before!

Wouldn't that give Meng San an even greater chance?

Meng Er, oh Meng Er... why did you do this! To make your Meng Lineage family famous, you actually risked your life!

You, Meng Er, suddenly raising the bar so high, is that appropriate?

"Black Sha... what exactly happened with Meng Er? You'd better give me a reasonable explanation when you get back. But now is not the time to think about Meng Er's death. Don't forget what your mission is!"

Hearing his master's cold voice, Black Sha couldn't help but shudder.

Black Sha understood his master's meaning very well. Although Meng Er's death was strange, given Hei Black Sha's importance in his master's heart, even if he couldn't explain it clearly, he wouldn't be punished with death.

But if this mission is not completed, then I, Black Sha, will have absolutely no chance of surviving!

"Rest assured, my lord, Black Sha will certainly complete the mission perfectly!"

"Remember these words: everything else can wait, the mission target must die!"

"Yes!"

Black Sha watched as his master hung up the message, only then realizing that his back was completely soaked.

Black Sha knew that whether Meng Er lived or died was not the key point, because even if the master did not believe the truth, he could easily make up some plausible reason.

For example... Meng Er has ulterior motives and wants to defect to the opposing forces!

Even if the reason sounds absurd, as long as I successfully complete this mission, my lord will definitely protect me, no matter how ridiculous the reason is.

So the most crucial thing right now is the mission!

Black Sha immediately summoned all his subordinates in Hundred Herbs City... Although the number was small, Black Sha had no other choice...

Logically speaking, he could have easily used the Meng Lineage to make his move in Hundred Herbs City, but now he couldn't rely on them and had to use his own people. Although the number was small, Black Sha believed it would be enough.

"Boss... are we going to raid the restaurant tonight?" henchman A asked.

But Black Sha shook his head. "Not tonight... We'll make our move tomorrow morning after they leave the restaurant!"

"Why is that?" asked the younger brother, confused.

Black Sha slapped his henchman B hard across the face, then said, "Have you guys been kicked in the head by a donkey?"

This restaurant is owned by the Meng Lineage. Meng Er died in this restaurant, and now the Meng Lineage family is searching for me everywhere, using this restaurant as a base. If we show up here now, wouldn't we run into the Meng Lineage right away?

Therefore, we'll wait until our target leaves the restaurant tomorrow before making our move!

The underlings understood perfectly and were all well-rested, ready to take action first thing tomorrow morning!

Inside the Meng Lineage's restaurant, Yue Ling lay in the upper room. Perhaps because she had drunk too much that day, she began to feel sleepy after a short while. However, Yue Ling was still puzzled; what was going on today?

I thought it was an enemy chasing after me, Yue Ling, but it turns out the target is the head of the Meng Lineage family?

It seems that I, Yue Ling, am not the only one in danger; every family has its own troubles!

Yue Ling quickly fell into a deep sleep... This was probably the most peaceful night's sleep Yue Ling had had in a long time.

On the other side, Ma Liang pulled Senior Brother Xinghe aside and said, "Senior Brother Xinghe, why don't you take the upper room? I'll take the lower room!"

In response to Ma Liang's words, Chu Xinghe kicked the guy directly... What do you mean by "upper roof" and "lower roof"? Do you think I care about that?

Seeing that Senior Brother Xinghe had chosen to leave the room, Ma Liang laughed and winked at him, knowing Ma Liang Senior Brother Xinghe Senior Brother Xinghe was not one to care about such trivial matters.

As for everything that happened tonight, Ma Liang was naturally aware of it. Good heavens, we don't even know what rank the head of the Meng Lineage family is!

But he poisoned us? Friend... isn't this a bit too extreme?

In front of Senior Brother Xinghe, could you possibly use any poison?

Forget about my Senior Brother Xinghe, even if I went to the Spirit Crane Palace and brought Mu Xiaoqi's Big White over, I could still beat you to a pulp!

So no matter what kind of poison Meng Er used, Senior Brother Xinghe silently neutralized it, even turning the original poison into a tonic.

Yue Ling was able to break through on the spot because Senior Brother Xinghe secretly gave her a small stroke of good fortune.

Although he didn't know Yue Ling's exact identity or who was hunting Yue Ling down, Ma Liang thought this was the first time he'd ever met a female fan, and such an interesting one at that. He decided to lend her a hand and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ma Liang was in the room next to Yue Ling's. At that moment, Ma Liang flicked his finger, and a ghost flew out into the air. Without Ma Liang needing to say anything more, the ghost instantly became invisible and protected Yue Ling's room.

With this ghost present, let alone the forces that are hunting down Yue Ling, even if the Demonic Sect's Tantai Jing came today, he would never be able to kill Yue Ling silently!

So after doing all this, Ma Liang relaxed and got some rest!

Nothing happened that night... The next day, Yue Ling woke up early in bed.

Yue Ling had lost count of how long it had been since she'd had a good night's sleep... Yue Ling felt that hiring Ma Liang and Chu Xinghe this time was a huge success...

Logically, by the time I arrived in Hundred Herbs City, my pursuers should have already arrived, but this night is so peaceful. Could it be that they really believe Ma Liang to be real, just as I suspect?

That's why you dare not act rashly?

Overjoyed, Yue Ling left the room, called Ma Liang and Chu Xinghe from the next room, and the three of them had a simple breakfast at the restaurant.

Yue Ling didn't plan to stay here any longer. Although the first day was peaceful, Yue Ling wasn't sure if the other party would continue to harm her.

So, for safety's sake, Yue Ling took Chu Xinghe and Ma Liang and set off before dawn!

Leaving the restaurant, I headed towards the north gate of Hundred Herbs City. It was barely dawn, so there were hardly any people on the main streets of Hundred Herbs City.

The three of them headed towards the North Gate, but just as they were about to reach it, Yue Ling saw a dozen dark figures appearing in the morning mist in the distance!

The moment Yue Ling saw this figure, her expression changed drastically!

"Run... it's the enemy!" Yue Ling grabbed Ma Liang and Chu Xinghe and prepared to escape.

But just as Yue Ling turned around, Chu Xinghe spoke up, "They might not be enemies... Let's Watch Quietly as Things Change!"

Hearing that the actor who played Chu Xinghe was going to Watch Quietly as Things Change without saying a word, Yue Ling was furious!

I, Yue Ling, have been relentlessly pursued and attacked. Do you think I don't know if they're enemies?

Should we just Watch Quietly as Things Change? If Watch Quietly as Things Change, we won't even have a chance to escape!

So Yue Ling grabbed the two of them and prepared to run.

But just as Yue Ling turned around, the dark figure in the morning mist suddenly moved!

Without a word, a sharp blade of light cleaved through the morning mist and flew towards the three of them.

Upon seeing the flash of the blade, Yue Ling exclaimed in surprise, "See? I told you it was the enemy!"

Just as Yue Ling exclaimed in surprise, the blade light that was originally heading towards the three of them suddenly flew off to the side for some unknown reason.

Just as the blade flashed diagonally across the other side of the street, a cry came from the other end of the street. Along with the cry, countless Meng Lineage, dressed in mourning clothes, carried a coffin out of the street.

Hundred Herbs City has its own customs. If someone dies of old age, their family will usually keep their body at home for seven days before the funeral. However, if someone dies a violent death, the family will only keep the body at home for one night, and the funeral will be held before dawn the next day.

Meng Er must have died a violent death... so naturally, the funeral will be held early this morning!

Just then, the funeral procession of the Meng Lineage had turned the corner carrying Meng Er's coffin when a flash of light flew from afar.

The Meng Lineage wasn't without its experts, but none of Meng Lineage could have imagined that someone would be so ruthless as to attack a funeral procession!

So in an instant, the blade flashed across the Meng Lineage's funeral procession and landed on the coffin being carried by the Meng Lineage.

The person who delivered that strike was truly skilled...

The blade flashed and cleaved Meng Er 'Meng Er coffin in two, splitting his body in two. The two halves of Meng Er rolled out of the coffin and onto the ground...

The crying stopped in an instant...

All sound stopped...

Yue Ling covered her mouth, looking completely bewildered...

Chu Xinghe: "See... I told you they might not be our enemies!"

Just then, someone in the Meng Lineage's ranks shouted, "It was him! He's the one who killed our family head!"

Good heavens, upon hearing that shout, the entire Meng Lineage's ranks came back to life...

The situation was getting somewhat out of control at this moment...
