Chapter 796 Falling into a Trap!?
After speaking, Wei Xuan glanced at Wei Zhen standing beside him.
Wei Zhen immediately stepped forward, standing in front of Fang Yu.
Although his complexion wasn’t good, the sharpness and killing intent in his eyes were very obvious.
“Master Fang, let me handle this,” Zheng Ze said to Fang Yu who was standing nearby.
Fang Yu looked at Wei Zhen in front of him thoughtfully and said, “Alright, go ahead and try.”
Wei Zhen’s apparent cultivation level was at the Huashen stage, but his aura was unstable… Although Zheng Ze was only at the late Yuanying stage, he wasn’t without a chance of victory.
So, Zheng Ze stepped forward, standing in front of Fang Yu.
At this moment, everything around them quieted down.
Were they really going to fight?
The Wei family and the Northern Capital Martial Arts Association were really going to fall out!
Wei Zhen raised both hands, looking at Zheng Ze with indifferent eyes, silently reciting incantations.
“Boom!”
The next second, an extremely shocking aura erupted from his body.
A strong wind swept outward in all directions.
“Raging Wind Palm!”
Wei Zhen’s right palm suddenly struck toward Zheng Ze!
The surrounding gale suddenly compressed into a mass, violently blasting toward Zheng Ze!
“Echo Technique!”
Zheng Ze’s expression turned solemn as he stepped back with his left foot, forming a seal with both hands in front of him, once again condensing a translucent vortex.
“Whoosh!”
The incoming gale was sucked into the vortex in front of him, then violently rebounded!
Wei Zhen crossed his arms in front of his body, condensing a true qi protective shield.
But just as the rebounding power was about to touch Wei Zhen, the true qi shield suddenly disappeared.
“Puff!”
Wei Zhen spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and his entire body exploded in mid-air!
Blood splattered and flesh flew everywhere!
“Splat!”
Only when Wei Zhen’s remains fell to the ground in the distance did the surrounding people come to their senses, letting out exclamations and screams of shock!
Wei Zhen… died from body explosion!
He was dead!
One of the Wei family’s three prodigies, just died like that!?
This…
Everyone’s eyes widened as they looked at the remains on the ground and the blood in the air.
Only when they smelled the bloody scent permeating the air did they realize… this was reality.
Wei Zhen was really dead!
Zheng Ze stood frozen in place, his eyes filled with shock.
Wei Zhen… was killed by him?
How was this possible?
How could a Huashen stage prodigy not even withstand such an attack!?
On the Wei family’s side, after a moment of stunned silence, they came to their senses… their faces changed drastically!
Especially Wei Wusheng, who cried out in anguish and ran toward the remains in the distance.
He couldn’t believe that his precious son had died just like that!
Wei Wensheng’s eyes also turned red, filled with bloodshot, as he looked toward Fang Yu’s group.
His killing intent completely erupted.
He knew that today, no matter what, he had to kill all four of these bastards from the damned Martial Arts Association!
“Master Fang…” Zheng Ze turned his head to look at Fang Yu.
At this moment, Fang Yu was staring at Wei Xuan and Wei Tian.
Wei Xuan’s expression remained calm, with even a faint, sinister smile hanging at the corner of his mouth.
Wei Tian, on the other hand, had a pale face, his lips trembling slightly, as if he had anticipated this.
Seeing these two people’s reactions, and recalling Wei Zhiling’s inexplicable provocation earlier…
Obviously, this was a carefully planned conspiracy, a trap!
And the target of this trap… wasn’t Fang Yu, nor Zheng Ze… but the Northern Capital Martial Arts Association behind them!
“The mastermind behind this conspiracy…” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, without thinking too deeply.
By now, the surroundings had become lively.
Some people were examining Wei Zhen’s tragic state, some were sizing up Fang Yu’s group, and others were sending messages to their families.
Everyone clearly knew that something big was going to happen today!
The newly appointed Vice President of the Northern Capital Martial Arts Association, Fang Chengtian, openly attacked the Wei family’s little princess!
Afterward, his assistant Zheng Ze killed Wei Zhen, one of the Wei family’s three prodigies, with a single strike! The body couldn’t even be preserved intact!
This could no longer be simply called a conflict; this was a declaration of war!
The Northern Capital Martial Arts Association was about to go to war with the Wei family!
“Miss, shouldn’t we withdraw from this place? Something is definitely going to happen here, and if we stay, we might be affected,” Qi Ruoqing’s attendant whispered.
Qi Ruoqing frowned slightly, not agreeing, and muttered to herself, “How could a Huashen stage prodigy die so easily?”
“The opponent might have hidden his true strength…” the attendant speculated.
Hidden strength…
Qi Ruoqing looked at Zheng Ze’s shocked appearance and shook her head slightly.
…
“Master Fang, I… I really didn’t mean to kill him,” Zheng Ze looked at Fang Yu, his voice trembling slightly.
He clearly knew the potential consequences of Wei Zhen’s death.
First, the Wei family would definitely retaliate.
A high-ranking official of the Northern Capital Martial Arts Association killed a prodigy from a prominent family!
This incident would definitely escalate quickly, igniting the entire Northern Capital martial arts world.
At this point, those martial arts families who had been dissatisfied with the Association would use this as an excuse to unite against the Association, even attacking it collectively.
In its current weakened state… the Association simply couldn’t withstand such an impact!
“I know you didn’t kill him,” Fang Yu said calmly.
After speaking, Fang Yu looked at Zheng Ze again and said, “You don’t need to blame yourself, nor be afraid. This incident started with me, and I will handle it.”
“But…” Zheng Ze’s face turned pale, not knowing what to do for a moment.
As for the two attendants behind him, they were trembling with fear.
They knew that they might soon face the wrath of the entire Wei family!
How unlucky! Why did they choose to follow this Vice President Fang here? If they had been on duty elsewhere, they wouldn’t have encountered such a situation!
“Fang Chengtian, none of you will leave the Wei family alive today!” Wei Wensheng roared hoarsely.
At this moment, Wei Wensheng’s eyes were bloodshot, his breathing heavy, his entire body emanating killing intent.
This appearance didn’t seem to be feigned.
In other words, Wei Wensheng, as the family head, likely didn’t know about this conspiracy.
Fang Yu scanned the other Wei family members in front.
Most of these people’s expressions were filled with hatred and killing intent.
Fang Yu looked at Wei Xuan again, whose eyes now showed obvious mockery.
At this point, Fang Yu could basically confirm that only Wei Xuan, Wei Tian, Wei Zhiling, and even Wei Zhen knew about this conspiracy.
These four were direct participants in the plot.
As for the other members of the Wei family, including the guests from various prominent families who came to attend the celebration banquet today, they were actually being used as pawns.
Their role was to witness this incident.
“Who told you to do this?” Fang Yu asked Wei Xuan using true qi to transmit his voice.
Wei Xuan’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down and responded, “Thank you for your cooperation.”
After speaking, Wei Xuan’s face once again revealed a sinister smile.
Fang Yu looked at Wei Xuan, frowning slightly.
“Master Fang, how should we handle this now?” Zheng Ze asked with anxious eyes.
“It’s simple,” Fang Yu said. “First, we deduce who would set such a trap for us. Then, we turn the tables and throw the dirty water on them, and the problem will be perfectly solved.”
Hearing these words, Wei Xuan looked completely confused, not understanding at all.
At this moment, Fang Yu’s mind was already spinning rapidly.
Wei Xuan and others setting such a trap must have been under someone’s instructions, and they must have been offered great benefits.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been willing to sacrifice their brother Wei Zhen.
So, who would make them do this?
Who would benefit from setting the Martial Arts Association against the martial arts families? What benefits could they gain?
A name quickly surfaced in Fang Yu’s mind.
The Half-Spirit Clan.
Fang Yu had destroyed a large batch of black jars, restoring the consciousness of nearly a thousand Martial Arts Association members who had been mind-controlled. The Half-Spirit Clan must have noticed this.
Therefore, they could also deduce that Huai Xu was currently working to clean up the traces they had left in the Martial Arts Association.
The Half-Spirit Clan chose to use various covert methods to control the minds of Martial Arts Association members, gradually infiltrating the Association. Choosing this approach indicated that they didn’t want to have a direct confrontation with the Northern Capital Martial Arts Association yet.
Huai Xu’s deterrent power was still very significant.
And precisely because of this, at this time, to delay Huai Xu’s investigation and cleanup of the Half-Spirit Clan… they could only create another incident to divert Huai Xu’s attention.
The mastermind behind what happened just now was most likely the Half-Spirit Clan!
