Chapter 2030: Chapter 1987: The Truth of the Matter (Part 2)

The two men’s bodies trembled incessantly... they were scared.

It wasn’t that their bones were soft, but after witnessing the strange man being treated that way, a deep sense of fear naturally grew in their hearts.

After all, they already knew roughly what their fate would be.

"You... you are simply devils." One of them couldn’t hold back and said, trembling.

Hearing this, Chen Yang, Xiao Hu, and Lisa all laughed.

"When you slaughtered Chen Family Village, did you ever think of yourselves as devils? You could be so heavy-handed on civilians, and now when it’s your turn, you’re calling us devils?" Xiao Hu mocked coldly.

The two immediately shut their mouths, speechless.

"Will you speak, or not? This is your only chance; if you don’t open your mouth, you won’t have any more opportunities." Xiao Hu was lazy to waste words on them and directly issued the final ultimatum.

The two remained silent, still unwilling to speak. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

After waiting for two or three seconds, seeing that the two had no intention of opening their mouths, Xiao Hu, like Chen Yang, first activated spiritual energy, then smashed their elixir fields with a palm, followed by their meridians... torturing them step by step.

Their bones were quite hard; at first, none of them had the intention to comply honestly.

But as all the means used on the strange man were exhausted, Xiao Hu still had no intention of ending their lives, and they panicked.

They initially thought that once the means against the strange man were over, they’d be freed, it’d be over.

But who would have thought that was just the beginning?

Thinking of the endless torture, the two ultimately couldn’t endure it and finally chose to open their mouths and honestly confessed.

"We... we will talk." One of them spat blood and said weakly.

Xiao Hu’s plunging fist abruptly stopped!

"Now you plan to speak? I haven’t even started." Xiao Hu coldly sneered and said.

The two looked ashen-faced, with a feeling of wanting to die but unable to, being tormented, which was nothing short of despair.

They began to explain the specific circumstances.

"Our attack on Chen Family Village was not because Chen Family Village had any conflict with us, but... but their ancestors were the enemies of our Blood Bat Hall... That’s why we struck them!" One of them said nervously.

"Their ancestors were your enemies?" Xiao Hu and Lisa didn’t understand the matter and felt quite surprised hearing this.

But Chen Yang had long suspected this, so he wasn’t very surprised.

The only surprise was that the people of Chen Family Village and he turned out to be from the same lineage, all from the bloodline that escaped from the Chen Family.

"Yes, the people above us told us this, and we don’t know the specific situation either." The man continued.

"And then? There’s nothing else?" Lisa and Xiao Hu pressed on with questions.

"That’s it; the mission we received was just to destroy Chen Family Village, and we know nothing else." The man insisted.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hu and Lisa understood the motive behind these six people’s village massacre.

"Who is your superior? Who sent you?" Chen Yang asked.

"The superior is the Vice Hall Master..." the man replied.

"Where is he located?" asked Chen Yang.

"In the county town..."

The two men, wanting to die, didn’t care about anything anymore, and whatever Chen Yang asked, they answered truthfully.

Chen Yang, Xiao Hu, and Lisa questioned them for a while.

After carefully organizing the clues, they finally understood the whole story.

Originally, as Blood Bat Hall was chasing members of the enemy alliance, they accidentally discovered Chen Family Village located in the mountains.

Then, through special investigation methods, they uncovered the truth about the Chen Family Village’s bloodline.

Thus, the incident of these six people slaughtering Chen Family Village happened.

According to their planned scheme, after destroying Chen Family Village, they would leave immediately.

However, due to their excessive carelessness, believing the work was flawlessly executed and that no one would trace them in the short term, they decided to rest here.

Unexpectedly, they were caught by Chen Yang, Lisa, and Xiao Hu... leading to the previous events.

"We’ve confessed everything. Can you kill us now?" After explaining everything, the two said.

Without a word, Chen Yang fulfilled his promise, and a sword went down, ending their lives.

"Blood Bat Hall is indeed a monstrous organization! Despite what happened hundreds of years ago, they still aim to exterminate the descendants entirely." Understanding the whole story, Xiao Hu shook his head with a chill, finding Blood Bat Hall terrifying.

Lisa felt the same way.

Only Chen Yang harbored a different mindset!

Anger, hatred!

Blood Bat Hall massacred his clan! Although they had no prior encounters, blood ties run deep.

That bloodline engraved in his bones made Chen Yang feel angry!

Moreover, Blood Bat Hall’s pursuit for over a hundred years also infuriated Chen Yang.

The people of Chen Family Village were uncovered and the entire village was slaughtered.

If his own Chen family bloodline identity were exposed, wouldn’t Blood Bat Hall hunt him to the ends of the earth too?

Thinking of this, Chen Yang’s hatred for Blood Bat Hall deepened.

Once powerful, he vowed to completely eradicate this organization! To avenge the deceased Chen family bloodline!

Internally, waves surged within Chen Yang, yet outwardly there was no trace of disturbance! No one could discern anything.

"Chen Yang, what do you think about this matter?" Lisa, seeing Chen Yang silent, took the initiative to ask his opinion.

Chen Yang shook his head: "An organization like Blood Bat Hall shouldn’t exist in this world, but your secret bureau surely has its own considerations. I’m just here to offer a hand."

"Yes, Blood Bat Hall indeed went too far. I’ll report today’s incident to Director Ma, but how it proceeds will depend on him." Lisa nodded and said nothing further.

They took the bodies of the six Blood Bat Hall members and returned to Chen Family Village.

The tragedy at Chen Family Village has now reached a conclusion, more or less.

All six murderers were executed, and the details of the incident were fully investigated.

People from the secret bureau no longer had any reason to stay here.

So, upon returning to the village, Lisa immediately arranged for personnel to handle the aftermath.

She also began reporting the situation to Ma Jiantao.

Once things were settled, they prepared to retreat.

"Chen Yang, thank you for today. I’ve already reported everything here, and Director Ma seemed inclined to pursue the matter further." Lisa sincerely told Chen Yang.

Chen Yang just nodded slightly, not saying much more.

He wasn’t part of the secret bureau; how they handle the matter moving forward had little to do with him.

He figured that the secret bureau likely wouldn’t leave it at that.

After all, Chen Family Village was massacred by Blood Bat Hall, with dozens dead.

So many people perished; if the secret bureau didn’t offer a reasonable explanation, didn’t find a suitable resolution, how could they maintain order in the cultivation world?

Thus, hearing Ma Jiantao’s intent to investigate further didn’t surprise him, he found it normal.

Additionally, he had some anticipation, curious about the final outcome of the matter.

"By the way, Lisa, what about that little kid? We’re returning to the capital soon; we can’t take him with us, right?" Xiao Hu suddenly remembered Chen Hao, who was still resting.

Everyone in Chen Family Village was gone.

He no longer had any relatives and became an orphan.

How should he be settled?

"Hmm..." Lisa also felt conflicted when she heard this.

Because the matter was indeed difficult to handle, Chen Hao had no relatives left, how to settle him was indeed an issue.

"Leave him to me, I’ll take care of him." Just as Lisa and Xiao Hu were pondering, Chen Yang spoke up.

"Huh? You want to take care of him, Chen Yang?" Lisa was surprised.

She didn’t expect Chen Yang to volunteer.

"Yes, there’s a place in our village where he can be settled, and I think he’s fated to be with me. Taking him with me, he won’t be wronged in the future." Chen Yang nodded and spoke again.

Knowing Chen Yang’s character, Lisa and Xiao Hu had no objections.

"Okay, but I think we should consider his opinion. If he’s willing, we can leave him with you." Lisa nodded, thinking they should ask Chen Hao what he wants.

Despite his young age, he was seven or eight years old.

He had his own consciousness.

Moreover, the child demonstrated maturity; he surely had his own thoughts.

"Alright." Chen Yang agreed it should be so, nodding in agreement.

Then the three of them left the village and went to where Chen Hao was settled.
