An Exchange Among Several Parties

"Godfather, you don't know what happened to me at the Yedie River Holy Land..."

Zou Bugui brought ill fortune to his students, and so did Hongku.

Compared with Zou Bugui's students, who had brought trouble upon themselves from outside and died as a result, Hongku had done the killing himself.

To this day, Zhang Xuezhou and Wu Chao had not figured out Hongku's true motive or reason for killing his students, but it would soon be their turn.

In just three short years, the two of them would have to defy their superior for even a sliver of hope of survival.

"That old bastard Hongku has gone too far in bullying demons!"

After hearing Zhang Xuezhou recount what had happened at the holy land, the Golden Toad Dharma King flew into a rage.

He had intended to send Zhang Xuezhou to the Yedie River Holy Land to cultivate the Incantation Technique. Who could have imagined that he would send him straight to the gates of hell?

But angry as the Golden Toad Dharma King was, he did not have the nerve to make a scene at the Yedie River Holy Land and demand justice.

The problem with Hongku targeting his students was that no related cause could be verified. Just as with Zou Bugui's dead students, one could at most conclude that the teacher was a lone star doomed by heaven, and might bring ill fortune to his students.
