Chapter 937
937 People Eventually Die
One of them stumbled and quickly retreated into the trees .
“Technology is changing the world,” Miao Tianchuan said in a low voice . “Your thoughts need to change too . ”
“Yeah, right . Drop the act . Infuse your skin with the meds and harden them like steel . If you can’t even manage that much, don’t even think about fighting Miao Xihe,” Miao Chengfeng said toward the woods before detecting flickers of light shooting from the trees .
Miao Tianchuan dodged to the side .
“Throwing projectiles?”
Swoop! Boom!
Explosions were seen, kicking up a lot of dust .
Cough, cough .
Shing! A glimmer of light tore through the dark of night . It was from a blade .
Clang! Sparks flew .
“Now, would you mind giving all you’ve got?” Miao Chengfeng coldly asked .
Miao Tianchuan, who was just several steps away from Miao Chengfeng, lost his gun .
“Sure!” Miao Tianchuan smirked . A dagger about a foot long appeared in his hand .
The glimmer of blades crossed under the moonlight . Both of them dashed in and out at each other at great speeds . The sound of metal clanging was heard now and then .
Boom! Another explosion was heard . Dust was kicked up again . One of the combatants was seen covering his stomach and escaping . The other tailed right behind him like a leopard .
“You’re not getting away . ”
The dark of night was gradually dispelled by the light of the early morning sun shining all over the place .
A body was found in the woods . There was blood all over the place .
Someone discovered the body at about 10 a . m . The incident was quickly relayed to those in the valley, causing many to come to the scene . Miao Xihe was present . He thoroughly inspected the body . His expression became grim .

“He had severe injuries . His was eventually caused by a single hit with a blade . ”
By tracing the blood on the ground, they were able to easily where the fight had started .
Bullets were also found .
“It’s probably the same bunch as last time,” Miao Xihe added .
“Chengfeng was a formidable one, yet he was killed so cleanly,” a middle-aged man said . “The other party must be very capable . ”
“Yeah . ” Miao Xihe nodded as he looked at the ground, not knowing what to make of it .
“That person was here again to check that cave over there . ” He looked up at that sealed cave . It was obvious that getting inside it was not possible .
“There’s no need for anyone to keep guarding this place . ”
“Who is this person?” the middle-aged man asked .
“Let’s head back,” Miao Xihe said .
“Yes, Chief . ”
Three from the valley had died in a short period of time . It was something that had happened for many years .
“Chief, people in the valley have been talking lately,” the middle-aged man said .
“We’ll wait,” Miao Xihe said .
“Sure . ”
“How are things with Xiao He?”
“It’s going well,” the middle-aged man said . “Things look stable so far . ”
“Very well,” Miao Xihe said . “Look after his family . Xiao He is a good kid . ”

“Yes, Chief . ”
In another county town hundreds of miles away…
“Is another one dead?”
“Yeah,” Miao Tianchuan said .
“Who was it this time?” Miao Qingshan asked .
“Miao Chengfeng,” Miao Tianchuan took a sip of the tea and calmly said as if the murder was nothing to fret about .
“Is it good for you to just keep killing like this?”
“They’re all lackeys of Miao Xihe,” Miao Tianchuan replied . “They all played a part in the deaths of my parents . All of them deserve death . ”
“What are you trying to do? Obliterate the entire place?”
“If that place is going to go down because of this, so be it,” Miao Tianchuan said . “That place will only be Miao Xihe’s private land if it stays around . It’s too bad none of them know anything about fighting . ”
“Those who dared to do so were either dead or have escaped,” Miao Qingshan said as he looked outside the window .
He did not want to leave . That was where he was born and raised . That was his home . He had not given up returning even now .
“That’s why I said there is no need for it to continue existing,” Miao Tianchuan said .
“There are hundreds of people living in that place!”
“People eventually die,” Miao Tianchuan coldly said . The tone in his voice made it seem as if the hundreds of people in the village were of little difference from hundreds of ants .
In truth, ever since his parents died in that village accident more than a dozen years ago, he lived only to take revenge . To be precise, his only thought was to get revenge for his parents by killing Miao Xihe . However, his target was too powerful and had a home advantage . As such, he ventured far to the north for many years, painstakingly building an organization from the ground up and gathering all manner of dangerous people . His goal was to take revenge, yet fate saw his organization destroyed instead . All that work he had been putting in for years was lost . Furthermore, he was severely poisoned . His days were numbered . He was thinking about checking out the place that had once been his home before eventually biting the dust .
Ironically, that was also the first place he thought of destroying .
When a door was closed, there was often still a window open . His end had not quite arrived . He had been able to find the Blood Orchid . It had not only cleared his body of the poisons, which disabled the greatest threat looming over him, but it also boosted his abilities . From then on out, he began to bring his new plans to reality .

That was not his first time killing someone, so he did not suffer from any psychological trauma . However, things were different with Miao Qingshan since he was a kindhearted person to begin with . As such, he had his fair share of psychological trauma doing all of those things with Miao Tianchuan . Even now, he had a tremendous sense of guilt .
His was a typical case of being at a dead end . Unfortunately, the only savior was an unsavory type .
“How powerful is the chief?”
“Powerful enough,” Miao Tianchuan replied .
He actually had no idea just how powerful the chief was . When he had escaped, the chief caused him severe injuries with just a single hit . It was a prowess in martial arts and not poisons that the chief was most proficient . That was what made the older man so terrifying . It was clear that the older man never gave all he had back then . Even now, Miao Tianchuan was oblivious to how powerful the older man truly was . For the past 16 years, Miao Tianchuan had been doing all he was able to constantly grow and enhance his powers .
“Do you have any certainties of being able to take him down?”
“Certainty? None . ” Miao Tianchuan shook his head .
“How are you going to take revenge without any certainty to speak of?”
“Sometimes, one’s power isn’t necessarily everything . ”
He stayed silent for a bit after saying that . He was reminded of that young man who struck him with despair .
“Maybe he could take on Miao Xihe instead,” he muttered to himself .
“What?”
“Nothing . You just reminded of someone . Someone who is very formidable . ”
He had nothing but seething hatred from the depths of his heart for Miao Xihe . As for that young man, he felt only helplessness and fear . That fear stemmed from the fact that he was unable to do anything to resist him .
Maybe I could use him to take out Miao Xihe instead!
If he were to use that young man, he first needed to know more about him .
Then again, given that he was in Qi Province, it was best not to make the trip at the moment .
In county town several hundreds of miles away…
“Are you heading back now?”
“There’s no use in me staying around,” Miao Qingfeng said . “Sorry that I couldn’t have been more helpful . ”
Miao Qingfeng and Miao Changhong were bidding farewell to Yang Guanfeng and his team, leaving the county and preparing to head back to the Valley of Thousands of Medicine .
“You’ve been of great help to us,” Yang Guanfeng said . “At the very least, we now found ourselves a suspect, right?”
Miao Qingfeng only smiled and did not say anything else .
“How about lunch before you guys leave?” Lu Xiufeng asked . “I’ve made the arrangements here . ”
“Thank you, but I best be leaving,” Miao Qingfeng replied .
“Well, the host gets to call the shots, and you two are guests here . So, lunch it is . ” Lu Xiufeng was insistent .
“Very well . ”
Seeing how there was no refusing Lu Xiufeng’s invitation, the two of them remained behind for lunch . They left shortly after they ate .
“I have a hunch that something must have happened to their place,” Lu Xiufeng said .
“Yeah, I best get some rest . ” Yang Guanfeng waved .
Lately, he often felt tired . This case was exasperating . It seemed something always happened at key moments . Just when there seemed to be a silver lining, all their previous efforts were derailed .
