Rebellious Contract Beast

In a guest room on the second-floor attic in Wangxia Courtyard, Wu Han was already unconscious at this time, lying on the bed with his arms and legs spread out, his clothes in disarray, his hair disheveled, his eyes staring at the ceiling dully, his mouth moving up and down as he muttered something.

The medicine Deng Quanchang gave him was too strong, and until now the evil fire in his stomach has not subsided.

If he hadn't had any cultivation, if he were an ordinary person, he would have probably died suddenly long ago.

The two guards who had been following him had been sent away by Deng Quanchang and were lost among the women in Zuimeng Garden. Guarding outside the door were only a few servants who took care of his daily life.

"Wine...Where's the wine? Beauty! Where is the beauty! Come here! Come here...!"

"This... get out of here! You're pushing all these idiots into my hands... Where's that female assassin... I want her! I want her to accompany me for drinks! Xu, Xu, Xu Sihai... Don't try to fool me!"

Along with the indistinct mumbling, there were sounds of swords being drawn and slashed outside the door.

"who!"

"The person who wants your life!"

"Knowing my master...ah!"

"No!"

puff~
Bang!

"Look around to see if there are any other people around. If anyone sees us, don't leave any alive!"

"Yes!"

"Brothers, come this way."

"Don't worry, our boss has already cleared most of the people here, so there shouldn't be many people here."

"Be careful, if we are seen by others, we will die miserably!"

"Well, look for it again, and make sure there is no mistake."

"Hey, leader, what are you wearing around your neck? Why is it glowing? Why didn't I see you wearing this just now?"

At this time, the servants at the door had all been dealt with by the people of the Pillow Knife Society. While they were talking, someone saw something glowing on the left side of Hu Tieqiang's chest and asked in confusion.

Hu Tieqiang also looked down and said nonchalantly, "This is a talisman given by my family. It is for safety. I don't know what it is made of, but it glows at night."

"Oh~" The member of the Pillow Blade Society who asked the question nodded and took another look. Although the glowing object on Hu Tieqiang's chest was somewhat blocked by his clothes, he could barely see that it seemed to be a stone, about the size of a fist, emitting an orange-yellow light.

Without giving it much thought, the member of the Pillow Blade Society quickly looked away and asked Hu Tieqiang again, "Who exactly do we want to kill? The Xu family is so cautious."

"I don't know either, but judging from the situation, the person we want to kill might be someone powerful. Sigh~ It's better not to ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Knowing too much will not benefit us."

"Speaking of this, I have a brother who is a key member of the Central Hall. I heard him say that the person we want to kill seems to be the guest that Zuimeng Garden has been hosting a banquet for some time."

"Did your brother tell us who he was?"

"He doesn't know either. We are only responsible for doing the job, and then the Tiger Gang will take the blame. Otherwise, why would we wear these clothes?"

"Yes, if that person is really someone powerful, then the Tiger Gang will be in big trouble."

"What does this have to do with us? Those ruffians from the Tiger Gang have long disliked them!"

"Okay, everyone, shut up and get back to work. If you delay any longer, someone will be back soon."

"Yes, yes, yes! Get to work!"

"The man is inside, go in and kill him and we'll leave!"

"..."

As they were talking, the door was violently broken open from the outside. Wu Han, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes and glanced at it, but he seemed not to realize what was happening at all. He just took a look and closed his eyes again. At the same time, he shook his hands twice and said impatiently: "Get out... Get out! Don't bother me! I want a woman... a woman..."

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Hu Tieqiang said, "Is it him? Bring out the portrait and compare it."

"The portrait is here. Let me take a look."

Someone took down the portrait hanging from his waist, spread it out and placed it in front of Hu Tieqiang. He took a quick look, nodded quickly and said, "It's this old man! That's right!"

"Then let's do it now!"

"Wait a minute!" Everyone was impatient and was about to go in with knives to hack Wu Han to death on the bed, but they were stopped by Hu Tieqiang at the critical moment.

"Well, why is that?"

People looked at him with puzzled eyes, but he showed a weird smile on his face. Then he opened the storage bag, took out a corpse and threw it on the ground.

This is the body of a man. He is naked, very strong, seven feet tall, with clear muscle lines, as if a work of art carefully carved by a master. The entire upper body is a standard triangle without a trace of excess fat, especially the arms, which are thick and strong. Even though it is just a dead body, people can feel the surging power in them.

However, the face of the corpse had been scratched with a knife, it was so horrible that it was impossible to recognize the person's identity.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that the strong man died not long ago, probably less than two hours ago. His face was just a little blue, and there were no obvious external injuries on his body. No one knew how he died.

In fact, this male corpse was a "porter" trained by the Xu family before his death. He had very bad luck. When Tang Wanyu flipped the cards, she happened to turn over his name, and then he was poisoned.

When Shen Yi saw the corpse, he felt sad in his heart that it would be a pity not to participate in a bodybuilding competition with such a figure.

However, no one at the scene was willing to care about the identity of the corpse. At this time, all the members of the Pillow Knife Society were staring at the storage bag hanging around Hu Tieqiang's waist.

Storage tools are not cheap items. In terms of cultivation strength, Hu Tieqiang is just a small leader in the Pillow Blade Society. How could he have a storage bag?

Could he be a close confidant of Tang Wanyu, the head of Beitang? Otherwise, how could he afford such an expensive magical tool as a storage bag?
Everyone looked at him with envy and jealousy.

But in fact, they were completely wrong. The storage bag on Hu Tieqiang was given to him by Qu Xiangui arranged by Shen Yi. It was mainly to make it easier for him to complete the task. After Wu Han was dealt with, the Tiger Gang would not only reward him with one thousand and two taels of silver, but this space storage bag would also belong to him.

Of course Hu Tieqiang would not miss such a good opportunity.

"Leader, aren't we killing people and dumping bodies? What does it mean to leave this dead body here?"

"Listen to my instructions. You, and you, start with the two of you. Take off all the clothes and accessories on that old man..." Hu Tieqiang didn't say too much nonsense and started to arrange the things to be done directly. All the members of the Pillow Knife Society said nothing and had to lower their heads to concentrate on their own work.

At first they didn't think anything of it, but as Hu Tieqiang's arrangements became more and more outrageous, several people began to hesitate and soon couldn't help asking him, "Leader, isn't this... a bit inappropriate?"

"Just do what I say. In the end, it's the Tiger Gang that suffers, isn't it?"

"That's true, but it's a bit too much..."

"Too much? This guy has ruined countless girls in Zuimeng Garden. Don't you know that?"

"This one……"

"God will take its course, and no one will be spared! Don't forget, our boss is also a woman. That bastard has ruined so many good girls, so naturally there will be people who can't stand it. This is not only the boss's arrangement, we are also getting rid of harm for the people! Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes! Get rid of this evil for the people!"

"Get rid of harm for the people!" Hu Tieqiang's explanation was very reasonable. After all, the leader of the North Hall of the Pillow Knife Society was indeed a woman, and it was understandable that she sympathized with the plight of other women. Now the members of the Pillow Knife Society had no worries and worked harder.

But they couldn't help but think that if Wu Han knew what they and others had done to his corpse after his death, he would probably be so angry that he would die again in the underworld.

After about five or six minutes, as Wu Han screamed one after another, he was finally killed while he was in a daze.

No one knew how many times the crowd had stabbed him. Now, except for his face, no part of Wu Han's body was intact. Moreover, his body was entangled with the body of the Xu family's "porter" in an extremely ambiguous posture.

People had already prepared themselves mentally, but when they saw this scene, they still felt their stomachs churning and a chill rushing to their heads.

A sturdy man with a body like an iron tower, and a white-haired old man. The former is the attacker and the latter is the receiver. This scene... is simply eye-catching.

If you watch it for too long, you will inevitably have nightmares at night.

Even Hu Tieqiang's mouth twitched constantly. He didn't dare to look any longer, and turned back to say to everyone: "Brothers, the matter is done. We should not stay here for long. Let's go back and report to the master!"

"Yes!" All the members of the Pillow Blade Society became excited upon hearing this. The reward of one thousand and two taels of silver was too easy to get!
They thought happily in their hearts that one thousand taels of silver would be enough for them and their families to have food and drink for the rest of their lives.

This is a huge sum of money that ordinary people dare not even think about.

But how can things be that simple?
Just as everyone went downstairs, several angry roars were suddenly heard outside the door.

"Damn it! There's someone in here!"

"Come in now! You little bastards from the Pillow Blade Society dare to pretend to be from the Tiger Gang. You are dead today!"

"..."

Hearing these voices, the members of the Pillow Sword Society who had already arrived on the first floor were stunned for a moment and their faces changed.

"People from the Tiger Gang? Why are they here?"

"Could it be that they saw us when we came out?"

"Silly! This is our Pillow Blade Society's territory. Why would the Tiger Gang be in our territory?"

Everyone was a little confused. The sudden appearance of the Tiger Gang in Wangxia Court looked very strange.

Before they could think about it, they heard a loud "bang" and someone outside actually picked up a stone lion and smashed it in.

The faces of the members of the Pillow Knife Society who pretended to be disciples of the Tiger Gang changed drastically. They didn't dare to think any further and turned around and ran to the back. Among them, Hu Tieqiang was the fastest. He rushed to the front, pulled out his long knife and split the wooden wall with one blow, then rolled and jumped to the street outside.

"Let's run! Don't get entangled with the Tiger Gang!"

"Yes!"

At this time, all the members of the Pillow Knife Society had already panicked. No one dared to stay in Wangxia Courtyard. They all followed Hu Tieqiang and rushed out. Behind them, a dozen disciples of the Tiger Gang chased after them with knives in hand. However, they did not chase too far. Seeing Hu Tieqiang and his men running out of a corner, Zhang Xiaoyong, who was chasing in the front, stopped and raised his hand to signal the people behind him to stop as well.

"Master, why don't you chase me?"

"Just chase us here. We didn't come here to kill anyone."

"So what's next?"

"Everything is done, let's go back to our own territory."

"Yes."

Zhang Xiaoyong looked around and walked back with his men.

On the other side, Hu Tieqiang led a large group of people across several streets. It was unknown how far they ran. When he saw that the people from the Tiger Gang were not chasing them, he stopped.

"Stop, they are not chasing us. This is our territory. The Tiger Gang members dare not mess around."

"But the people from the Tiger Gang are so bold that they dare to come to Wangxia Court. Aren't they afraid of us..."

"Okay, shut up now."

Shouting at the man who was talking, Hu Tieqiang, with a cold face, led everyone to the place where he had an appointment with Tang Wanyu. Along the way, everyone was uneasy and had lost their backbone, so they could only follow him. No one spoke, and they entered an empty warehouse.

While waiting, someone asked Hu Tieqiang anxiously, "The leader, the people from the Tiger Gang... I'm afraid they already know what we did. Have we messed it up?"

"Don't panic, I have my own arrangements." Hu Tieqiang said calmly. After that, he signaled everyone with his eyes to rest assured, while he sat on the box alone, not knowing what he was thinking.

Not long after, the warehouse door was opened, and under the cold moonlight, five figures could be seen walking towards this side. When they got closer, everyone could see clearly that the man in the front was none other than Deng Quanchang, the leader of the Pillow Knife Society.

"How's it going?" he asked expressionlessly.

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and their hearts, which had originally calmed down, began to surge again.

Someone opened his mouth, wanting to tell the truth, but Hu Tieqiang took the lead and said firmly: "It's done. The body of the person the boss wanted to kill is in Wangxia Court. If you are worried, you can send someone to take a look."

"who are you?"

"My name is Hu Tieqiang. I used to work in the Anxiang Pavilion and was the head of the North Hall."

"I see." Deng Quanchang nodded, his face showing some expression, and he said with a smile: "Were you seen by others when you were doing it?"

"Master, rest assured, no one will see us. Even if someone does, it is the work of the Tiger Gang. What does it have to do with us?"

"Okay! I will naturally send someone to Wangxia Courtyard to check in a while. If the situation is true, I will give each of you one thousand taels of silver, and I will not lose a penny."

"Thank you for the reward, Master."

"You've worked hard today. Go back and rest early. Remember to go to the central hall tomorrow morning to receive your rewards."

"Why don't you thank the leader?"

"Thank you, Master!"

Upon learning that Wu Han was dead, Deng Quanchang was in a good mood. He chatted with Hu Tieqiang for a few more words, then laughed and led his men out of the warehouse.

As for the others, no one dared to leave. After he left, the members of the Pillow Sword Society who pretended to be disciples of the Tiger Gang dared to look at Hu Tieqiang and asked in a trembling voice: "Leader, how could you... If the Zhongtang master knew the truth, we would die miserably!"

"You think I don't know?"

"Then why are you still..."

"Shut up!" Hu Tieqiang shouted angrily, making the man shut up. Then he looked at everyone and asked: "Everyone! Do you really think that Deng Quanchang will let us go if we tell the truth? This is just a delaying tactic. You know, we don't even know the identity of that old man, so how can the Tiger Gang know? So we will be fine for the time being. If we told the truth just now, we would be a corpse now. It would be better for us to collect the reward tomorrow and find a chance to leave Jiangzhou City and go to a place where no one knows us. At that time, one thousand taels of silver will not be enough for us to be happy?"

"Yes...it is indeed so..."

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and they had to say that Hu Tieqiang's arrangement was indeed feasible.

It's nothing more than leaving the Pillow Blade Society, how can it be worth more than one thousand taels of silver?

If I and my companions take the silver and run away, and if something really happens, how will the people from the Pillow Knife Society find me?
