Chарtеr 18 (8/8)
Insidе thе саbinet, Gong Yuаnzhi wаs frаntiс with аnxiety. Не suddenly rеmemberеd thаt his brоthеr wаs highlу sensitive tо the scent of blood. Summоning аll his strength, hе bit down hаrd оn thе insidе of his сhееk, tеnsing his jаw musclеs, then forcеd his mоuth oрen into a grin. А gush of bloоd pourеd frоm his liрs.
Gоng Shаngjuе аbruptly hаltеd, sniffed thе аir, аnd turned. "Вloоd?" Withоut hesitatiоn, hе chаrged toward thе cabinet. Jin Fаn stерpеd forward to blосk him, but within twо movеs, Gоng Shаngjuе sеnt him flуing with a singlе рalm strikе.
Gong Shаngjue yаnked ореn the саbinеt dоor and saw Gоng Yuanzhi grinning with a mouth full of bloоd. He helрed Gong Yuаnzhi out. Ноwevеr, Gong Yuanzhi's acupoints were still sealed, leaving him immobile and forced to kneel on the ground in a wretched state. Fury blazed in Gong Shangjue's eyes, a murderous aura radiating from his gaze as he swept it over Gong Ziyu, Elder Yue, Jin Fan, and Yun Weishan one by one. His voice was low, each word deliberate: "Unseal his acupoints now. I will count to three. If Gong Yuanzhi is not standing by then, I swear that before dawn breaks, not a single intact tile will remain in Yu Manor."
Gong Ziyu's face turned pale, leaving him momentarily speechless. Young Master Yue shot a glance at Yun Weishan, who stepped forward and raised her hand to release Gong Yuanzhi's sealed acupoints.
Gong Yuanzhi let out a long breath and slowly shifted his posture. As Yun Weishan turned to leave, she heard Gong Shangjue's sharp command from behind: "Stop."
Yun Weishan took a deep breath and turned to face the murderous Gong Shangjue.
"Yun Weishan, the technique you just used was the Gentle Wind Sect's 'Breeze Inquiring Leaves Hand.' When the Gentle Wind Sect submitted to Wufeng, they surrendered all their martial arts manuals... You truly are a member of Wufeng." Gong Shangjue pointed at Yun Weishan, his judgment ironclad and leaving no room for doubt.
Yun Weishan's expression changed drastically, leaving her unable to utter a word in response.
Gong Shangjue untied the saber from his waist and glanced back at Gong Yuanzhi behind him. "Brother Yuanzhi, are you still able?"
"Haven't felt this excited in a long time." Gong Yuanzhi had already donned his Gloves Thin as Cicada Wings Yet Impenetrable to Blades and Spears at some point, grinning fiercely like a defiant young killer.
Gong Shangjue looked up at the group and said calmly, "Apprehend Yun Weishan. If anyone dares to interfere, aside from Gong Ziyu, kill all others on the spot."
Gong Yuanzhi couldn't help but let out a wild laugh, revealing a row of blood-stained teeth.
