564 The Secret of Yamata-no-worochi’s Scales

"Oh… Oh… Oh…"

The sound of a chicken being slaughtered filled the room. With his face smashed to a pulp and his manhood damaged, Zhuang Bufan joined the eunuch squad.

"Wu Jiechao… You son of the bitch… How dare you beat me up… I will definitely ask my brother to destroy your Qingwu Faction!" Zhuang Bufan said while gritting his teeth. His body trembled violently.

"Y-You can't blame me for what happened to you! Blame yourself getting involved with someone you shouldn't have!"

Sensing fear creeping into his body, Wu Jiechao knew that the Zhuang Family was definitely powerful enough to destroy his faction if they decided to do so!

"Explain no more… Expect death! All of you here are going to die…"

"Are you sure you want to seek revenge?"

Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei strode towards Zhuang Bufan with his gaze narrowed and stared at Zhuang Bufan with an ice-cold stare.

"I…"

Immediately, Zhuang Bufan took a deep breath. He felt that he was targeted by death himself – his life could fade away anytime. This was a huge threat! Clearly, Chen Xiaobei was contemplating killing Zhuang Bufan to make sure no one knew what happened to him!

Through observing Chen Xiaobei's facial reaction, Wu Jiechao could guess Chen Xiaobei's intention. Immediately, he said, "Master Chen! We should just kill this bastard since we have already crippled him! The one that took part in beating him up today will definitely not say a word about what happens to him!"

The disciples of Qingwu Faction nodded their head promptly after hearing Wu Jiechao's plan. Earlier, all of them took turns to slap and kick him. With him leaving here alive would be a huge threat to everyone!

"No… No… Please… This is all my fault… I promise you guys that I will never seek revenge… I swear…"

Immediately, Zhuang Bufan's wet his pants after he realized that he was about to be killed. The arrogant vibe he once had was gone. Chen Xiaobei would definitely kill him if he continued to behave that way.

"Hmph! Shut the f*ck up! We are not stupid enough to believe you!"

Wu Jiechao shouted. He then changed his tone immediately and said, "Master Chen, why don't you escort your wife out of this place first? Leave him to us. We will make sure everything is cleaned up after you leave!"

Qingwu Faction was one of the factions in Jianghu. To them, killing someone was like having meat at home. However, Chen Xiaobei shook his head, his expression unreadable. 

"No. Don't kill him first. I can still use him."

"Right… Right… Right… I'm still very useful. I will do anything you want me to do as long as you don't kill me!"

Although his words sounded sincere, his heart was filled with hatred.

'I'm going to kill your whole f*cking family if you don't kill me now!"

"Master Chen! The way the Zhuang Family deals with stuff like this is extremely ruthless! He is going to be a huge threat to us if we let him live!" said a worried Wu Jiechao whose brows were furrowed.

"Don't worry about this. You guys should make a move first. Be careful. Do not let others see you leave this place."

"Alright…"

Wu Jiechao did not dare to disobey Chen Xiaobei's order. He then nodded his head and made his disciples leave promptly. After they left, Chen Xiaobei looked at Song Qincheng and said, "Qincheng, you should leave as well. Forget about what happened here."

"Okay. I will listen to you!"

Song Qincheng was a smart woman. She knew this was not the right time to hang around Chen Xiaobei. With her head nodded, she said, "You must be careful… Call me after you finish whatever you need to do here… I will wait for your call no matter how late it is…"

"Mr. Chen… Bro… Grandpa! What are you going to do to me? Please… I beg you do not come near me… Just say whatever you want to say while standing there… I beg you…"

With his body trembling non-stop, Zhuang Bufan almost wet his pants again. Though Chen Xiaobei promised that he would not kill him, his smiling face made Zhuang Bufan feel really uncomfortable.

"Don't be afraid. I'm going to feed you something and you will completely forget my existence."

Chen Xiaobei then took out the Mengpo Soup from his treasure chest. Immediately, he fed Zhuang Bufan a mouthful of it. He was too lazy to measure the appropriate amount to feed him.

*Burp*

Right after the burp, Zhuang Bufan looked puzzled. With a tone of surprise, he asked, "Where am I? How did I get here? Why am I here… Why are there so many injuries from my body… So painful… Argh…"

Before Zhuang Bufan could finish all the questions that he wanted to ask, Chen Xiaobei landed a kick on his face which made him pass out instantly.

"I'm going to let you live. I believe the Zhuang Family will come and look for me to buy pills to cure your injuries! By that time, I will be able to make another huge score! Maybe, something surprising would pop out as well! Hehehe! A Taiyi Life Enhancement Pill sells for three billion! I wonder if they will purchase it. Ahahaha…"

Chen Xiaobei left the film base after he kept the Mengpo Soup back into his treasure chest. It was best for him to stay at home for a few days since he just caused a huge stir in Jianghu. On the way home, Chen Xiaobei called Song Qincheng. This woman had been through quite a number of hurdles in her life. After hearing Chen Xiaobei's explanation, she still managed to maintain calm and continued to do what she was supposed to do. Knowing that Chen Xiaobei was safe and sound, she even flirted with him through the cell phone – making him want to turn back and have sex with her.

...…

Back to Bei Xuan Faction.

Li Xiang had been waiting for Chen Xiaobei to return for quite some time. There were no outsiders in the faction. Both of them were sitting opposite each other in the common area.

"I like to get things done fast. Just speak your mind! We shall discuss further if I'm capable of helping you. If there's nothing I can do about it, I will definitely not tell others about it!"

"No problem!"

Li Xiang nodded his head. He then took out a scale that was as big as his palm from his pocket. The scale was grayish silver, with its edges clearly displayed and there was a sharp hook at the back! Upon seeing the scale, Chen Xiaobei was filled with excitement. Earlier, he acquired a scale that was exactly the same with this scale from killing a blood descendant.

"Mr. Chen. I think you are quite familiar with his scale, right? Some time ago, I assigned a blood descendant count to assassinate you. He possessed a scale that was the same as mine!"

"Yes. I have it with me. I heard that is the scale of Yamata no Worochi! Is that true?"

"It's true! This is not an ordinary snake scale. This is a map to the tomb of Emperor Qin Shihuang!"

"Emperor Qin's tomb? Isn't that located at the garden of Terracotta Warriors and Horses? It was discovered by the government quite some time ago. What map are you talking about?"

"The Terracotta Warrior and Horses that you know of is only the tip of an iceberg! It is not that easy to unveil the entire legendary emperor's tomb!"

"The secret of the tomb is hidden in this scale?"

"That's right! There is a total of nine similar scales! Gather them together and a map would appear and guide us to the core of the tomb!"

"I'm confused… Why is the secret of Emperor Qin's tomb recorded on a monster in Japan?"
