Chapter 31: The Spoils
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yun Shu had about a hundred men under him. In the past half an hour, they spared no effort in beating up Fang Quan’s guys. There were more than five hundred of them, but no one dared fight back!
“That’s enough…” one of Yun Shu’s men said to him, gasping hard.
Obviously, beating people up could be quite exhausting as well.
“Are you sure?” Yun Shu smiled and asked.
“Yeah! We can’t keep doing this. It’s just too tiring!” another man chimed in.
Yun Shu finally felt that they were even. He walked to those men and said, “This is what all of you deserve, but I won’t kill any of you. After all, you were all instigated by Zhu Fei, Fang Quan, and Xie Lei.
“Of course, if any of you hate me, feel free to come to me at any time! But keep this in mind: I’ll not show my mercy twice. You’ll be at your own risk!”
Those men didn’t even have the guts to look at Yun Shu. They kept their head low to the ground and hurriedly denied any bad feelings.
Yun Shu turned to his men. “You know where they are from, right?”
“Of course!” They nodded.
Yun Shu grinned. “Go there and snatch their treasures!”
Their eyes suddenly lit up. That cave was much bigger than this one!
And of course, it was filled with treasures.
That would be a great fortune for them!
“We’ll do it right away!” Yun Shu’s men cheered, their hard feelings vanishing like a puff of smoke. They forgot their pain and ran to that cave as fast as they could, wishing they had four legs.
The treasures were owned by Fang Quan, Zhu Fei, and Xie Lei. Therefore, those men lying on the ground didn’t really care about them. Instead, they started feeling a bit jealous of Yun Shu’s men.
Obviously, they had a much better boss than they did.
“Senior Brother Yun?” one of them asked very carefully. His face was covered in bruises.
“What?” Yun Shu responded coldly.
“You know we were forced to come here. Now, we don’t have a leader anymore, so we were thinking… Are you willing to have us under your command?” He said in a low voice.
Yun Shu was a bit surprised. When he looked around, he found many of them looking at him eagerly. Obviously, they agreed with the man who just spoke.
Yun Shu never expected this at all. Fists and kicks had brought those people to their knees. However, Yun Shu didn’t agree immediately. Instead, he showed no interest at all. “I don’t need it.”
They all looked disappointed, their spirits hitting rock bottom. At this time, the man who spoke first said to Yun Shu in a low voice, “Senior Brother Yun, do you know why Fang Quan brought us here today?”
Yun Shu frowned.
“Because Chang Feng hates me, and they wanted this cave.”
“This is true. But there’s another important reason: someone stirred the pot!”
“Really?” Yun Shu was provoked to anger again.
Someone did this on purpose!
Who could it be?
Yun Shu’s men had suffered because of that person!
“Senior Brother Yun, that person’s name is Huang Sheng, and he lived in this cave before. Several days ago, Huang Sheng found Fang Quan and threw lots of bad words at you. It was also him who told them that Chang Feng hated you a lot, and putting an end to your life will bring them credit in front of Chang Feng in the future,” said that man carefully.
Yun Shu’s eyes opened big in wrath.
Huang Sheng!
That jerk!
Last time, Yun Shu had spared him, but Huang Sheng obviously showed no gratitude at all.
Yun Shu must take his revenge!
“Where is he?” asked Yun Shu coldly.
“Don’t… Don’t know. But he went deeper into the valley.” That man’s voice started trembling under Yun Shu’s raging killing intent.
After a while, Yun Shu’s anger gradually faded.
“You did a good job on this one. However, it’s still a matter of fact that you have offended my brothers, so I cannot accept you! If one day, you ever get forgiveness for what you’ve done from them, I’ll let you join!” promised Yun Shu.
“We will try our best!” Seeing that Yun Shu was less stringent, those men, including the young man who spoke first, were all encouraged.
A while later, Yun Shu heard someone calling him from some distance away. “Senior Brother Yun!”
Yun Shu turned around and saw the group of disciples who left earlier had now come back, carrying a large number of things on their shoulders. Their faces were glowing with excitement as they walked toward him.
“That’s a lot,” said Yun Shu, who was surprised to see the haul.
Obviously, in Fang Quan’s caves, there were many more treasures than they thought.
“Right! We’ve gone back and forth more than a dozen times and brought back everything valuable from those caves! Those guys are really rich. They have more than 200 books on martial art skills and a variety of other appliances and items. Senior Brother Yun, you pick whatever you like first!” One of Yun Shu’s brothers grinned.
Yun Shu was about to refuse, but he thought of the ugly sword he had discovered in that pile of trash. Maybe, there was also something precious hiding in it. While thinking so, he walked to the heap of items and books and used his golden pupils.
His golden pupils could see all unique aurae, including Spirit Qi. Thus, they came extremely handy when Yun Shu needed to sort out some real treasures.
As Yun Shu expected, he noticed something here. Without saying a word, he reached out his hand. It turned out to be a furnace for experimenting and making supreme pills, which was about a meter tall.
This furnace looked extremely ordinary, both from its material and its shape. However, Yun Shu could see the two opposite air flows of Yin and Yang within it.
Although he did not know what the air flows were, Yun Shu was sure that there was something special about it.
“I’ll take this. You share the rest of them.”
“Senior Brother Yun… Is this all you want?”
It was true that the furnace looked just like any other furnace and was quite old at that.
Yun Shu just smiled but gave them no explanation.
Seeing that Yun Shu had made his decision, his brothers could only give up. However, as there were so many things to divide, it would take them a long time to make it fair.
Finally, they decided to wait for Feng He. He was the smartest one among them, so he should be able to figure out the best way to allocate the spoils.
Before Yun Shu’s men started moving the books and items back into the cave, those guys who had just got beaten up by them came closer.
“What do you want?” Yun Shu’s men suddenly became nervous.
“These things are too heavy. We’ll take care of them! You just sit down and take a break!”
Yun Shu’s men couldn’t believe their ears. They were a bit too nice!
Yun Shu smiled and explained his arrangement. They were going to be the ones deciding whether these guys could join them or not.
Learning about the condition, a sly smile appeared on their faces.
