Capítulo 1426: Chapter 1427: An Yiqing Makes an Appearance (1)
Not long after, Elder Du, the Sect Leader, passed away. As his closest adopted son, Long Zaitian naturally took the position of Sect Leader. However, once he became the leader, his first act was to find ways to suppress Chiang Yu’s influence, deploying numerous spies to monitor Chiang Yu’s every move.
At that time, Chiang Yu had just become the Think Tank, and compared to Long Zaitian, who had lived in the Xuanqing Sect for decades, he was at a significant disadvantage. If it weren’t for the senior elders loyal to Elder Du, who insisted on supporting Chiang Yu, he wouldn’t have been able to stand against Long Zaitian on his own.
Chiang Yu also considered whether Elder Du’s death might have been deliberate, but under such circumstances, he was truly overwhelmed, plus Elder Du’s personal doctor insisted it was a natural death, and the matter was left unresolved. Years later, when Chiang Yu had fully stabilized his power and wanted to re-investigate the cause of Elder Du’s death, all traces from the past suddenly disappeared, as if they never existed.
Long Zaitian painstakingly erased these traces, thinking he could deceive everyone. But he miscalculated, failing to foresee that ten years later in Jinyin City, An Yiqing would emerge, mercilessly exposing all his past misdeeds to the public!
“Uncle Chiang, now all the evidence regarding Long Zaitian is in your hands. How do you want to proceed? It’s your call.”
Chiang Yu looked deeply at An Yiqing, eyes filled with emotion and determination, “Xiao Qing, Uncle Chiang will handle everything according to your plan. But I have one request: after Long Zaitian steps down, hand him over to me.”
An Yiqing nodded, “Alright!”
Meanwhile, it has been a night since the incident with An Yiqing and Chiang Yu; Jinyin City was turned upside down by An Zhifeng, the Thirteen Blood Generals, and Gu Yelin’s people. Everyone was searching for An Yiqing and Chiang Yu’s bodies, but in the torrential flow, even the car was nowhere to be found, let alone the two bodies.
It’s said that Gu Yelin, after coughing up blood in his office, fell gravely ill and could only issue orders by phone.
It’s also said that An Yiqing’s dozen or so people acted like maniacs, turning Jinyin City inside out.
It’s rumored that to prevent Old Master An and others from worrying, the Yu Family used considerable influence to suppress this bad news.
Rumors are flying in Jinyin City, while the atmosphere in the Xuanqing Sect is extremely bizarre.
As soon as the incident with An Yiqing and Chiang Yu happened, the news swiftly returned to the Xuanqing Sect. People in the sect were not fools; the world has no walls that don’t leak, and anyone with a brain could guess who was behind it.
Yet now, several senior elders in the Xuanqing Sect were effectively put under house arrest by Long Zaitian under the pretext of poor health and old age, and the status of those loyal supporters of Chiang Yu was precarious. The entire Xuanqing Sect was enveloped in a strange atmosphere.
Xuanqing Sect Headquarters, Backyard.
“Brother Zhong, how can you still sit idly at a time like this? Long Zaitian is about to overturn the heavens!” An elderly man with white hair snatched the newspaper from Uncle Zhong in frustration.
Uncle Zhong slowly raised his head, glanced through his reading glasses at his old friend of many years, and then turned to look at several others who had once fought together with him and the Old Sect Leader for dominance.
“Why the rush? Being anxious won’t change anything.” Uncle Zhong rolled his eyes at them.
The senior elders exchanged glances, each wearing a bewildered expression.
“Look at you all, after a lifetime of fighting, you’ve grown old but still haven’t learned to use your brains to think things through?” Uncle Zhong criticized his old comrades, then changed his tone and said coldly, “Do you think everyone in the Xuanqing Sect is foolish? Who doesn’t know about the dirty deeds Long Zaitian has done? There’s an old saying, ‘Extreme measures will eventually backfire,’ let him keep this up, sooner or later, he’ll face backlash!”
