Nightmare Apostle

"Tong Han won’t be back for a while, but when she does return, she’ll definitely surprise us," Yang Xiao said with a smile.

The Jiu Mountain Family valued Tong Han greatly, and Jiu Shan Jinglan took her as a closed-door disciple. With the guidance of Senior Jiu Shan Jinglan, Tong Han should soon master that unique ring, and by then, I might not even be a match for her.

The situation outside was settled, and as the two chatted, they returned to the room where the servants had already prepared tea.

With just a glance, Sui Chengguo dismissed the servants and two guards from the room. Yang Xiao knew he had something to say.

As the people left and the door closed, Sui Chengguo whispered, "You mentioned in your message that the Patrol General Bureau has news. How is it? When will we act?"

Sipping tea to moisten his throat, Yang Xiao gestured for Brother Sui to remain calm, "I’ve received the news. The General Bureau has approved the plan. Three days from now, I’ll depart with a Provincial Office caravan to meet the Cannibal Buddha of the Esoteric Sect and bring back Dean Sheng. It’s time to settle this!"

Upon hearing this, Sui Chengguo’s eyes lit up, and he gritted his teeth, "Excellent! The heavens have eyes. I’ve finally waited for this day. Brother Yang, you must let me go with you on the day of action. I want to personally avenge my daughter and brothers!"

"Rest assured, Brother Sui. Before we make a move, I’ll send you a message. Then, we shall avenge our grudges. None of those treacherous scoundrels will escape!"

Yang Xiao planned to make a significant move in reclaiming the academy, not just for rewards and recognition, as he had old scores to settle with Yiling Academy.

In the past, people from Yiling Academy tried to kill me. Had I not possessed some skills, I would have been dead long ago. I’ve been keeping track of this grudge against them.

Moreover, the people from Yiling Academy secretly colluded with the Dharma Sect. Reclaiming the academy this time was also cutting off an arm of the Dharma Sect.

Regarding the issue of Yiling Academy and the Dharma Sect, the Patrol Defense Office and the Cannibal Buddha-controlled Esoteric Sect are partial allies; everyone has vested interests.

Knowing that Dean Sheng is about to return, the heavy burden on Sui Chengguo’s heart finally eased.

He had waited too long for this day, and all the suffering he endured was thanks to Yiling Academy.

Soon, there was a knock on the door, and a young woman with light makeup, whom Yang Xiao found somewhat familiar, entered.

The woman carried a notebook and reported their night’s findings to Yang Xiao, the Pingxi Marquis, in detail.

They confiscated twenty-three Resentful Eyes, which were the accumulations of the Marquis Zhengdong and An Nan from nearly a decade of rule.

"That can’t be right. How could these two have accumulated so little in all their years?" Yang Xiao questioned.

"That’s all. Don’t forget, you already raided them once a couple of years ago," Brother Sui laughed.

At this, Yang Xiao suddenly remembered that the Marquis Zhengdong, An Nan, and Marquis Zhenbei had once conspired against him, setting a trap to kill him.

In response, I reported them, and the experts from the Patrol Defense Office were mobilized. Not only did they defeat these three, but they also killed Marquis Zhenbei on the spot, capturing Marquis Zhengdong and An Nan.

That night, I wasn’t idle either. I led a team in three directions and raided their residences, plundering everything worth taking and burning what couldn’t be taken, leaving not a single screw behind.

After that incident, these two families never recovered, always being suppressed by this Pingxi Marquis, until tonight when the final outcome was decided.

It was both a determination of victory and a decision of life and death. From now on, Xiang Ma Town has no more of these two individuals, and they brought it upon themselves.

Yang Xiao instructed Brother Sui to tally who among their subordinates contributed the most tonight. Those who excelled in intelligence work deserved even greater rewards. By daylight, he planned to reward them accordingly.

"By the way, where is Yanyu? I haven’t seen him," Yang Xiao suddenly asked.

"Oh, he’s in the warehouse recording the Resentful Eyes. Since it’s confidential work, we feel more at ease having someone reliable do it."

Sui Chengguo continued to praise, "Yanyu is a good kid, diligent and attentive, though it’s a shame... it’s just a shame he’s not an Angel Envoy."

"Not being an Angel Envoy isn’t necessarily a bad thing. You and I both know how difficult this path is. We had no choice, but he does."

Yang Xiao had promised Ling Yanyu that if he wished to become an Angel Envoy, he would help him. This agreement was still valid, and he would respect Yanyu’s decision.

Suddenly, as if recalling something amusing, Sui Chengguo spoke mysteriously, "That youngster is doing well now. He recently got a girlfriend, and their relationship is great."

"Girlfriend?" Yang Xiao was also surprised, "Who is it?"

"Her name is Xu Zhaoning, a very nice girl. You just met her." Sui Chengguo hinted.

"Xu Zhaoning..." Now Yang Xiao remembered, no wonder the girl seemed familiar earlier.

Long ago, he had once set an empty city ploy at his mansion, luring the three families with a song while inviting her to dance in the moonlight. It was indeed this girl, no mistake!

The girl was also an Angel Envoy, though low-level, at the Grudge Level.

Just now, Yang Xiao was wondering why such a young and low-level Angel Envoy was entrusted with the crucial task of tallying the battle results. Turns out, it had this connection.

"Yanyu treats the girl very well. I’ve observed her. She is diligent in her work, a straightforward person, so I haven’t interfered," Sui Chengguo said with a smile.
