Chapter 71: The Fire in the Heart Burns Brighter and Brighter

"Big Brother, today is our little sister’s wedding day. Let her complete the ceremony first."

Zhang Su said.

"Alright. I’ll go make the arrangements. We’ll let Jiang Cheng proceed with the bridal procession first."

Zhang Chen immediately had his men drag the thirteen bodies away.

The servants washed the ground clean with water and even burned some incense to dispel the lingering stench of blood.

The entire Zhang Family’s Old Mansion grew lively once more.

It was as if the recent disturbance had never happened.

Zhang Su watched as Jiang Cheng successfully escorted his little sister away to the Jiang Family for the wedding ceremony...

The rest of the proceedings had nothing to do with him.

But thirteen people had still died at the wedding banquet today.

This was not something that could be ignored as if it never happened.

Especially with the mastermind still alive, Zhang Su could not find any peace.

"Second Brother, the Wei Family..."

Zhang Chen was still worried.

Zhang Su looked at Zhang Chen and said gravely, word by word, "Big Brother, the Wei Family isn’t the real problem. The key is Wei Yunzhou!"

"As long as Wei Yunzhou is dead, we can deal with the Wei Family as we please. Otherwise, if he remains alive, annihilating the Wei Family now would be pointless."

Zhang Chen’s expression grew grim. "Second Brother, I heard Wei Yunzhou entered the Inner Sect a long time ago. He has considerable influence in the Guiyuan Sect. You mustn’t be reckless."

Zhang Su nodded. "Big Brother, I know what I’m doing. But as long as Wei Yunzhou lives, I will never be at ease!"

This time, Zhang Su was truly filled with killing intent!

Before, Wei Yunzhou’s various provocations had been directed at him personally.

But this time was different.

The Blood Slaughter Thirteen Riders had threatened his family, stopping at nothing.

They had crossed his line.

He had never wanted to kill someone as badly as he did right now.

In fact, he didn’t want to wait a moment longer.

"Big Brother, now that our sister is married, I’m returning to the mountain!"

Zhang Su said to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen could guess that with Wei Yunzhou still at the Guiyuan Sect, his brother must feel like he had a thorn in his side.

But this was something he couldn’t help with.

He could only look Zhang Su in the eye and say, word by word, "Second Brother, I can’t control what you do when you return to the mountain. But no matter what, you must stay alive!"

"Don’t worry, Big Brother. I will."

With that, Zhang Su turned and walked away.

Just then, a somewhat aged voice reached Zhang Su’s ears.

"Young Hero Zhang, please wait."

Zhang Su looked toward the source of the voice.

It was a hunchbacked old man.

Standing beside him were Li Wushi, Li Xiaoman, and Li He.

Zhang Su, of course, recognized Li He and the others.

But he had no memory of the hunchbacked old man.

"You are...?"

"Young Hero Zhang, this is Senior Sun Lie, the ’Iron Palm’."

Li He quickly introduced Sun Lie.

"Elder Sun, what business do you have with me?"

Zhang Su asked.

"Are you returning to the mountain, Young Hero Zhang?"

"Yes."

"I have some acquaintances in the Guiyuan Sect and have heard a few things. The Sect’s bounty on the Blood Slaughter Thirteen Riders was never rescinded. Now that you’ve killed them, Young Hero Zhang, you could exchange their bodies for a significant amount of contribution points."

Hearing this, Zhang Su nodded to himself.

He hadn’t actually known that the Guiyuan Sect had a bounty on the Blood Slaughter Thirteen Riders.

But Sun Lie was right. Since the Blood Slaughter Thirteen Riders were already dead, he might as well collect the Sect’s contribution points.

"Thank you for the reminder, Elder Sun."

Zhang Su cupped his fist in a salute to Sun Lie.

Elder Sun smiled faintly but said no more.

For him, just getting acquainted with Zhang Su and exchanging a few words was enough!

Zhang Su called for Elder Guan.

"Elder Guan, have the men prepare the heads of the Blood Slaughter Thirteen Riders with quicklime. I’ll take them directly back to the mountain."

"Yes, Second Young Master."

Elder Guan immediately went to see to it.

Zhang Su wanted to return to the mountain as quickly as possible, and he certainly couldn’t do that lugging thirteen corpses.

Taking just the heads would be much more convenient.

Soon, Elder Guan had the heads prepared. They were all coated in quicklime, wrapped in thick black cloth, and hung from Little Red Horse’s saddle.

"Second Young Master, be careful!"

Elder Guan’s back was stooped, his eyes filled with concern.

He was already old.

Perhaps he didn’t have many years left.

His greatest wish was to see the Zhang Family rise again, with the First and Second Young Masters safe and sound.

"Elder Guan, you still haven’t seen the day of the Zhang Family’s complete restoration. You have to take good care of yourself, too!"

With that said, Zhang Su vaulted onto his horse.

Little Red Horse immediately bolted through the city gates, galloping toward the Guiyuan Sect’s Mountain Gate.

Zhang Su barely stopped along the way.

Before nightfall, Zhang Su had returned to the Guiyuan Sect’s Mountain Gate.

Little Red Horse was panting with exhaustion, nearly foaming at the mouth.

"You’ve worked hard... From now on, you’ll be with me."

Zhang Su patted the horse’s back.

He was quite pleased with Little Red Horse. Since he had plenty of contribution points now, he decided to use them to buy the horse outright.

From now on, Little Red Horse would be his personal mount.

Zhang Su stabled Little Red Horse at the Mountain Gate and then, carrying the black bundle of heads, went directly into the Inner Sect.

However, he didn’t immediately take the heads of the Blood Slaughter Thirteen Riders to claim his contribution points from the Inner Sect.

He was afraid of alerting Wei Yunzhou.

He had returned to the mountain for a single purpose: to kill Wei Yunzhou!

As long as Wei Yunzhou lived, his heart would know no peace!

Zhang Su headed for his own courtyard.

As he arrived back at "Courtyard 266," Tang Ying from the neighboring "Courtyard 267" happened to be outside.

Her eyes lit up the moment she saw him.

Zhang Su’s name had long since become famous throughout the entire Inner Sect.

Tang Ying was, of course, aware of his "Three Stars in One Day" achievement.

Therefore, Tang Ying immediately took the initiative, stepping forward to say enthusiastically, "Junior Brother Zhang, I can’t believe you’re back so soon after only a few days off the mountain. I was wondering if you’ve given any more thought to the Guanghui Alliance I mentioned?"

"The Alliance Leader said that if you’re willing to join, you can name your price."

Zhang Su stopped in his tracks.

He looked at Tang Ying and said coldly, "Really? Any price?"

"Yes. The Alliance Leader said so himself. Would I lie?"

"Then can you get me a spot in the Fire Melting Cave? If you can get me in, I’ll join the Guanghui Alliance."

"Er..."

Tang Ying’s expression stiffened.

Having been in the Inner Sect for many years, she naturally knew what a "spot in the Fire Melting Cave" entailed.

Those were precious spots coveted by the peak lords of the Guiyuan Sect and countless Postnatal Realm Elders. How could the Guanghui Alliance possibly have the influence to get one?

"You must be joking, Junior Brother Zhang. The Guanghui Alliance was founded by Inner Sect Disciples. A spot in the Fire Melting Cave is completely out of our reach..."

Zhang Su’s brow furrowed. "Then why did you just say I could name my price? What a waste of my time!"

Zhang Su’s words were blunt.

Just as Tang Ying was about to retort, she saw Hu Buyu from Courtyard 265 across the way. His expression was grave, and he had a finger to his lips in a "shush" gesture.

Hu Buyu also shook his head at her.

Though Tang Ying was confused, she ultimately held her tongue.

Zhang Su walked straight into his courtyard, casually tossing the black cloth bundle containing thirteen heads onto the ground. Then, he turned and left the courtyard again.

Without giving Tang Ying a second glance, he shut the gate and strode away, heading straight for the Instructor Pavilion.

It wasn’t until Zhang Su’s figure had disappeared that Tang Ying couldn’t help but ask, "Hu Buyu, what was that about just now? Why did you stop me from talking?"

Hu Buyu sneered. "Tang Ying, I was reminding you not to be a fool for the sake of our years of friendship! Zhang Su just returned from off the mountain. Didn’t you feel that ice-cold, baleful aura coming off him?"

"Even if you didn’t feel the baleful aura, didn’t you smell the faint scent of blood on him?"

"And another thing, look at the ground."

Tang Ying followed Hu Buyu’s gaze to the ground.

"Is that... a drop of blood? From that big black bundle just now... what was inside...?"

Tang Ying seemed to realize something, her expression a mixture of shock and uncertainty.

"The bundle smelled of quicklime and a faint, rotten odor. It’s most likely filled with human heads..."

Hu Buyu said calmly.

"Er... Zhang Su carried human heads up the mountain?"

The color drained from Tang Ying’s face.

She couldn’t help but glance toward Zhang Su’s courtyard.

The black bundle Zhang Su had been carrying was now lying carelessly on the ground inside.

"Zhang Su returned to the mountain radiating killing intent. Something must have happened. What good could come from provoking him right now?"

Tang Ying snapped back to her senses.

She bowed to Hu Buyu. "Thank you for the warning, Senior Brother Hu."

Hu Buyu waved his hand dismissively. "Just be more careful in the future. Zhang Su... he’s not an ordinary person. Perhaps another earth-shattering event is about to shake the Inner Sect. We’ll just have to wait and see..."

Zhang Su was unaware of the discussion between Hu Buyu and Tang Ying.

A fire was raging in his heart.

And that fire was burning hotter and hotter.

Finally, Zhang Su arrived at the Instructor Pavilion.

He saw Zhao Qianfeng lounging in a chair.

Zhang Su walked over and bowed to Zhao Qianfeng.

"Disciple wants to beat Wei Yunzhou to death. Master, do you have a method?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Zhao Qianfeng, who had been lounging in his chair, snapped his eyes open.
