135: Chapter 135 It's a sure thing! This wave is in the bag again!

"Holy shit!"

Plum Blossom Three was suddenly so scared by his own guess that he shuddered, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his back:

"If it really is one of those legendary figures... then I actually wanted to shoot him with a poison dart just now?"

"Isn't this like an old man eating arsenic? Am I tired of living?"

However, after the immense fear, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Plum Blossom Three's Brain.

His complexion, which had been ashen like death, actually turned rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even his Legs, which had been as soft as noodles just moments ago, were now filled with strength again.

He let out a long sigh, his originally tense nerves instantly relaxing.

"Whew..."

"Scared the life out of me."

"Since he's one of our own, what the hell am I afraid of?"

Plum Blossom Three secretly glanced at the Faceless Man in black with an invincible aura in the distance, and the sense of security in his heart instantly exploded.

"Stable! This is in the bag again!"

"With a top-tier boss sitting here who can tear a Tier 5 Great Demon apart like a spicy snack, what the hell is Principal Pang Ban?"

"Our Wusheng Divine Sect really is full of talent and unfathomable!"

But immediately after, another question surfaced in his mind:

"But... since he's our guy, why did he save these students from Magic City Martial Arts University? And why did he kill the ally we worked so hard to find?"

Plum Blossom Three frowned, his Brain spinning rapidly.

Suddenly, his gaze swept over the miserable corpse of Diamond Five in the distant mud pit.

A bolt of lightning flashed through his mind, and all the clues perfectly closed the loop at this moment!

"I get it!"

"I understand it all now!"

Plum Blossom Three slapped his thigh hard, his eyes shining with the light of wisdom:

"It must be that the Poison Python betrayed us first!"

"We clearly agreed on an alliance, but that crazy snake went mad just now and brutally killed Old Five!"

"This isn't just slapping Old Five's face, this is slapping the face of our Wusheng Divine Sect!"

The more Plum Blossom Three thought about it, the more he felt this was the case, and his eyes moistened with emotion:

"That lord who has been lurking all this time must have seen everything in secret!"

"He could no longer tolerate it. To uphold the dignity of the Divine Sect and to avenge the late Old Five, he indignantly took action, cleaned up the internal mess, and clubbed that snake that backstabbed our ally to death!"

"As for saving those students... that must have been just a casual act, or perhaps he has longer-term plans!"

"It must be so!"

"My god! What kind of god-tier leader is this? What an amazing, protective boss!"

"To avenge Old Five, he actually risked exposing his identity to angrily execute a Tier 5 Great Demon!"

At this moment, through Plum Blossom Three's filter, the masked, arrogant Faceless Man's image instantly became tall, majestic, and full of human warmth.

He propped himself up from the mud, brushed the dirt off his body, and looked at Principal Pang Ban and the others. His eyes no longer held the previous fear, but instead carried a hint of arrogance, like a fox exploiting a tiger's might.

...

In the center of everyone's attention.

Facing Principal Pang Ban's accusations and provocations.

The Faceless Man (Jiang You's body) with his back to the crowd finally reacted.

He slowly turned around.

Those hollow eyes under the mask looked calmly at the furious Principal Pang.

[Internal Chat Group]

[Brain (Indifferent and disdainful)]:

"Who is this old man again?"

"He's got a loud voice, but his Brain doesn't work too well."

"Is he looking for a snake?"

[Right Hand (Somewhat impatient)]:

"This old man is so noisy."

"Should we beat him up too?"

"The warmup just finished, and I'm in the zone."

[Brain (Pushes up glasses, analyzing calmly)]:

"Denied."

"I remember now, this guy is the administrator of this school, and he's the one who hired the contractor for the school cafeteria."

"The current cafeteria food is mediocre, but at least the meat portions are up to standard and it's greasy enough."

"If we beat this old man to death and they parachute in a new principal who starts 'a new broom sweeps clean' and the first fire burns our cafeteria budget, what then?"

"For the sake of our future food, let's not hit him for now."

"Since he wants to find the snake, let's point it out to him."

In reality.

The Faceless Man did not offer any explanation, nor did he make a move.

He simply maintained that inscrutable posture, extended the finger that had just smashed the Tier 5 Great Demon, and slowly pointed toward the massive pit not far from Principal Pang Ban.

The action was simple and direct.

Principal Pang Ban froze for a moment.

"What are you pointing at?"

"Trying to distract me? I won't fall for it..."

Although he said this, out of instinct, Principal Pang Ban still glanced toward the pit in the direction of the finger.

"Hmm?"

This glance was all it took.

Principal Pang Ban's eyes instantly went wide.

At the bottom of the deep pit, which was dozens of meters deep, lay a half-human, half-snake corpse with shattered scales and a smashed head, dead as a doornail.

The lingering demonic aura, those iconic dark green patterns... it was none other than Principal Pang Ban's biggest hypothetical enemy this time—the Tier 5 Great Demon, the Bone-Eroding Venomous Python.

"This... this..."

Principal Pang Ban pointed with a trembling hand at the corpse in the pit, then pointed at the unscathed Faceless Man in front of him.

His Brain instantly crashed.

"Dead?"

"The Tier 5 Great Demon... dead?"

Principal Pang Ban felt that all the shocks he had received in his life combined didn't amount to what he felt today.

He had just been shouting, "Let him come out and die."

And it turned out the guy had already been beaten into mud!

And it looked like he was killed by this "Wusheng Divine Sect leader" in front of him?

What kind of plot is this?

Black-on-black crime?

Or infighting?

Just as Principal Pang Ban's worldview was collapsing.

A faint hum came from under the Faceless Man's mask.

Following that, he pointed at Principal Pang Ban, then pointed at his own head.

Although he didn't say a word, everyone present understood the meaning:

[Old man, your Brain seems to have some problems.]

"You!!"

Principal Pang was so angry he almost had a heart attack.

But looking at the Tier 5 corpse in the pit, he had to swallow his anger.

This was a monster that could kill a Tier 5!

If he really provoked him and he got beaten up too, what then?

Principal Pang Ban stared at the miserably dead Poison Python corpse, his Adam's apple bobbing with difficulty.

As a seasoned veteran who had been rolling around in the world for many years, he understood the principle of "a wise man submits to circumstances."

"Ahem..."

Principal Pang Ban calculated quickly in his heart:

"Although this Faceless Man stole Old Xuan's turtle shell and put it in the F Class bathroom as a washbasin..."

"But! Look on the bright side, the turtle shell isn't lost, is it? Just wash it and it can still be used!"

"This guy in front of me can beat a Tier 5 Great Demon to death, this combat power is a bit fierce..."

"An old man like me shouldn't go head-to-head with young people."

"If he smashes my old bones, who will host the opening ceremony in a few days?"

Thinking of this, Principal Pang Ban's tightly clenched fists quietly loosened halfway, and his raging anger was forcibly suppressed by his reason.

He was just preparing to use a strict but lenient tone to say a few face-saving words like "Don't let it happen again, hand over the stolen goods and I'll let you go," to end this standoff with dignity.

However.

Just because he didn't want trouble didn't mean his teammates didn't.

Grandmaster Li Kuanglan, who had been standing on the right side carrying a giant sword, did not have as many psychological activities as Principal Pang Ban at this moment.

As the "Mad Sword" of the neighboring Shenhai War Zone, he could not tolerate sand in his eyes, especially the sand that was the "Wusheng Divine Sect"!

"Hmph!"

A cold snort, as piercing as a sword's chime.

Grandmaster Li Kuanglan took a step forward, and the black giant sword on his back unsheathed itself with a "hum," hovering above his head, its sharp sword aura instantly slicing through the surrounding air.

He stared fixedly at the Faceless Man, his eyes filled with disgust and murderous intent:

"Pretending to be mysterious!"

"Principal Pang is concerned about the school's reputation and doesn't want to kill you, but I, Grandmaster Li Kuanglan, don't have so many scruples!"

"You rats from the Wusheng Divine Sect in the sewers, causing a little trouble on weekdays is one thing, but today you actually dare to touch the students of Magic City Martial Arts University?"

Grandmaster Li Kuanglan reached out and gripped his giant sword, the tip pointing directly at Jiang You:

"I have said it before, as long as I see someone from the Wusheng Divine Sect, I will kill them one by one!"

"Unfortunately, you didn't check the almanac before going out today; you're about to be unlucky!"
