Chapter 124 – Let’s settle the score
In Guo Lei’s mind, Jiang Chen was dead. The disciple from the inner circle wouldn’t fool him on this matter. Thus, since Jiang Chen wasn’t here anymore, and Han Yan was in secluded cultivation, he, Guo Lei, would be the king in the outer circle, and no one could step on him. Now, someone had the guts to burn his courtyard in broad daylight, this was just ridiculous.
Guo Lei alone with the other three moved towards the courtyards with extremely fast speed and anger. After a while, they arrived at their destination. The flames had attracted other disciples in the outer circle as well, and they were all crowding towards the scene.
When Guo Lei brought his men and arrived at the courtyard, he found that a lot of disciples had gathered. When some of them saw Guo Lei, they tried telling him about Jiang Chen’s presence, but when they saw the arrogant expression on his face, they gave up the idea of telling him.
Guo Lei was a bully, therefore, not many disciples liked him. It was just that they didn’t dare voice their opinions on this. Besides, Jiang Chen had come back today, and since they didn’t dare offend Guo Lei, then they would definitely not dare to offend Jiang Chen. What happened today was pretty clear, Jiang Chen had burnt the courtyards to signal that he was looking for Guo Lei, and so, the rest of the disciples just sat back and kept their hands away from the conflict.
“Fuck, which bastard set fire on father’s courtyard?! Is he trying to court death?!”
The furious Guo Lei kept cursing. He looked like he was about to chop the culprit into a thousand pieces upon finding out who he was.
There was a mini square right in the middle of the residency area. When Guo Lei and his men angrily entered the square, they bumped into Jiang Chen who was coming from the opposite direction.
“There’s a total of 8,000 Mortal Restoration Pills.”
Guo Lei said.
“Eight thousand. Good. Now, I want you to pay ten times that amount, give me 80,000 Mortal Restoration Pills now as a token of your apology. I won’t accept even one less.”
Hearing that Jiang Chen asked him to pay 80,000 Mortal Restoration Pills, Guo Lei and the other three disciples felt like they had been struck by thunder and almost fainted. Eighty thousand Mortal Restoration Pills was a huge amount of wealth, and none of the outer circle disciples would have such a massive amount of Mortal Restoration Pills.
“Senior disciple Jiang, these eighty… eighty thousand Mortal Restoration Pills… We really don’t have so many… We were wrong senior disciple Jiang, please forgive us!”
Guo Lei said in a begging manner.
“That’s right, senior disciple Jiang, 80,000 Mortal Restoration Pills, we really don’t have so many… Besides, we don’t even have all 8,000 Mortal Restoration Pills with us, most of them were given to the inner circle disciples…”
Another disciple said. He tried mentioning the inner circle disciples, hoping that Jiang Chen wouldn’t be rigid.
“So now you try to act pitifully in front of me.”
Jiang Chen said with a sneer. He had seen with his own eyes how Wang Yun and Huang Zheng had been wounded. If this place wasn’t the Black Sect, these four men in front of him would have already been killed by now.
“I want 80,000 Mortal Restoration Pills, the full amount! If you can’t choke them out, then you can pay with your own lives. Big Yellow, kill them.”
Jiang Chen’s words sent chills down their spines. Then, they saw Big Yellow walking towards them, his teeth showing. After recalling how brutal Big Yellow was, the faces of these four men immediately turned pale, and they were scared to the absolute limit.
“No, don’t kill us! I’ll find a way! I know what to do!”
Guo Lei was incredibly frightened. His shoulder was still bleeding, and the fear he felt towards Big Yellow couldn’t be compared with anyone else’s fear.
“Jiang… senior disciple Jiang, most of the Mortal Restoration Pills we collected were given to the disciples from the inner circle! If senior disciple Jiang really wants them back, I can go find senior disciple Cai in the inner circle!”
Guo Lei said. He had been planning in his mind, in his current situation, there would be no way for him to run away from Jiang Chen. Therefore, he could only get help from a inner circle disciple to deal with Jiang Chen.
“Who is this senior disciple Cai?”
Jiang Chen asked.
“Senior disciple Cai Dong is from the inner circle, we were ordered by him to do all of this! The news about you dying in the Myriad Demon Mountain also came from his mouth!”
Guo Lei didn’t dare hide anything, Cai Dong was the man backing him from the inner circle. Right at this moment, only Cai Dong could save him.
Jiang Chen’s eyes turned cold, he didn’t know if this Cai Dong was related to the man in black who tried assassinating him in the mountain, or if they were the same person. Jiang Chen turned around and told one of the disciples, “Go to the inner circle and find that Cai Dong, ask him to come here right now. I want him to settle the debt of 80,000 Mortal Restoration Pills.”
“Understood, senior disciple Jiang!”
The disciple’s face was filled with excitement. Senior disciple Jiang was really dignified. It looked like he was about to play something big this time, and he even wanted to pick a fight with an inner circle disciple.
Guo Lei was startled, as he had never expected Jiang Chen to react this way. He thought that Jiang Chen would calm down after hearing that this was related to an inner circle disciple. However, out of his expectations, Jiang Chen had really dared to challenge an inner circle disciple.
But, Guo Lei felt relief at the same time. Since Jiang Chen thought so greatly of himself, this would be Guo Lei’s chance. When Cai Dong comes here, he would be saved and protected. However, things weren’t as simple as he thought, Jiang Chen had yet to finish with him. What happened next would just make him feel regret.
“So now, even Cai Dong from the inner circle is going to be dragged into this mess.”
“Jiang Chen is going to settle the score with an inner circle disciple, this is so amazing!”
“Don’t jump to conclusions, this matter is far from finished! I heard Wang Yun and Huang Zhen were seriously wounded!”
