Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 467 Resentment
Sanhe Gang's headquarters.

Since the Qingyi Gang was destroyed, this place has become the territory of the Sanhe Gang.

"Peng!"

The table trembled.

Zhou Fu's face was grim as he glared angrily at the gaunt man opposite him:
"You blind bastard, Zhang? You dare to block the Zhou family's goods? Do you really think you're in charge here?"

“Zhou Fu.” The man surnamed Zhang’s eyes were icy.
"I was just following the deputy leader's orders, and besides, the Zhou family's goods have already been returned, haven't they?"

"Zhang Can!" Zhou Fu growled.
"Don't try to intimidate me with the title of deputy gang leader. You know perfectly well that the head of the Zhu family is my Zhou family's son-in-law."

"The Zhu family cloth workshop is of course also considered part of the Zhou family."

"Heh..." Zhang Can sneered.
"As far as I know, Zhu Ju hasn't married your young lady yet, and even if he did, what difference would it make?"

"A married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl. The Zhu family's cloth shop is the Zhu family's cloth shop. The Zhou family is meddling too much."

"Peng!"

Before he could finish speaking, the table in front of him shattered with a crash. Zhou Fu strode closer, his eyes wide with fury.

"Hey Zhang, say that again?"

"Alright, alright," someone interjected, trying to smooth things over.

"We're all brothers, there's no need to ruin our relationship over such a small matter. It's just a batch of goods."

"Brother Zhang, why don't you let Brother Zhou take it away?"

"You think I want to stop you?" Zhang Can sneered.
"This is the deputy leader's requirement. He repeatedly instructed that no one should pay."

"If I give you all face, who will cover for me?"

“Great!” Zhou Fu rolled up his sleeves:
"After all this talk, they still won't budge. It seems I have no choice but to get serious today."

Zhang Can's expression changed.

Although he was skilled in martial arts, his strength was far inferior to his opponent's; if they were to actually fight, he would only be beaten.

"enough!"

Just then, a middle-aged scholar walked out from behind and coldly swept his gaze over the crowd.

"What's the point of making so much noise?"

"Zhang Can, release the goods from Zhu Family Cloth Shop. If the deputy gang leader questions you, just say it was my request."

"Yes," Zhang Can hurriedly replied.

"Master He."

soon.

Zhang Can, carrying the account book, arrived at the western district of the residence.

The Sanhe Gang's territory was vast, more than enough to accommodate thousands of people, but the entire western district was sparsely populated.

Even if there is.

It was all in a rush.

"squeak……"

Pushing open the door, countless strange smells rushed out. Zhang Can held his breath and entered with a normal expression.

This must be a main hall.

At this time, there were no living people in the hall; instead, it was occupied by leopards, wild boars, giant crocodiles, and other creatures.

They were half-human and half-demon, clearly not yet fully transformed, and were gnawing on the meat in front of them.

They completely ignored Zhang Can's arrival.

"Master Crocodile, this is today's account."

Zhang Can swallowed hard, suppressing his fear, and slowly walked up to a crocodile several meters long:
"The Zhou family is powerful, and with the instructions of Master He, the Zhu family's cloth shop was unable to get any money for the cloth."

The Sanhe Gang has one gang leader, two deputy gang leaders, and three hall masters. Among them, one of the deputy gang leaders and one of the hall masters is not human.

It's a demon!
"Hmm..." The crocodile's eyes rolled, and it slowly stopped eating, staring directly at Zhang Can:
Whom do you listen to?

"I...I'm young..." Zhang Can's face turned pale, and his voice trembled:

"Of course I'll do as you say."

"Listen to me, you won't let people take things for free?" The crocodile twisted its body, its head transforming into a human form, its ferocious features filled with ruthlessness:
"You traitor!"

"Peng!"

With a sudden flick of his massive crocodile tail, Zhang Can was lifted off the ground, crashed into the wall, coughed up blood, and slid down.

The smell of blood caused the demons to raise their heads, whimpering and their eyes to gleam with greed.

"Without us, the man surnamed Li would not have become the leader of the Sanhe Gang, and the Sanhe Gang would not have been able to occupy this Taiyuan Prefecture."

The crocodile growled:

"What is the Zhou family anyway?" Zhang Can trembled, forcing himself to kneel on the ground despite his severe injuries, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"Master, spare me! Master, spare me! I didn't want to do this, but... I had no choice!"

"Master." A shrill voice came from below:
“We helped the man surnamed Li get to where he is today step by step, and now that we need his help, he’s so useless.”

"If you want me to say..."

"Why not just eat everyone here and turn Taiyuan into a city of demons? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"It's not that simple," an old pig demon said in a muffled voice.
"There are experts stationed in Taiyuan Prefecture. Even if Chief Hai summons his parents, they may not be able to take him down."

"What's more..."

"This is human territory, so it's not always convenient for us demons to do things here."

"The leader urgently needs silver to buy pills to break through to the sixth rank; this matter cannot be delayed." The Crocodile Hall Master narrowed his eyes slightly.

"They killed my demons, took my things, and now I have to cater to their whims..."

"Roar!"

It growled in a low voice:

"If they were stronger than me, that would be one thing, but how dare a bunch of weak mortals be so arrogant?"

"Master," a demon chuckled softly.

"That's how humans are; they're blinded by superficial things and don't understand that true strength is what matters."

"Very well!" The crocodile lowered its head.
"I'll teach them a lesson. The title of hall master is far less powerful than real strength."

"Zhu Family Cloth Shop?"

"Go outside the city and call two vultures over. Even if something happens, they can't blame us."

"Yes." In the corner, a rat demon nodded in agreement, then rolled away and disappeared into the ground.

Although the matter was not resolved, the Wang family still hosted a banquet for Zhu Ju.

After all, compared to this incident, bringing the two families closer together is more important to the Wang family.

"Ugh!"

Wang Liangcai, the head of the Wang family, was also a fat man, and he had a bitter expression on his face.
"We thought that with the Sanhe Gang replacing the Qingyi Gang, our lives would be better, but who would have thought..."

"Although we didn't pay more taxes, a bunch of monsters appeared."

"Oh!"

Zhu Ju asked:
"Much more?"

"Yes," Wang Rui replied.
"Brother Zhu, you may not know this, but in recent months, many monsters have appeared outside the city, and some villages have even been wiped out by them."

"Even within the city..."

"It is said that near the Sanhe Gang's base, some people have seen monsters appearing. Although it is unknown whether these monsters are related to the Sanhe Gang, the Qingyi Gang used to frequently clear monsters outside the city."

"I see!" Zhu Ju nodded.
"The city lord's mansion shouldn't just ignore this, right?"

"This..." The Wang father and son exchanged a glance before Wang Liangcai finally spoke:
"Probably not, but when will they intervene? Who knows?"

"Ah."

Zhu Ju seemed to be lost in thought.

He rarely goes out, yet he knows that monsters are rampant recently. There's no reason why the city lord's mansion wouldn't be aware of it.

and so……

Did they intentionally condone it?
However, Zhou Ruxuan said that the demons could only be rampant for a while and would be dealt with sooner or later, so it seems that the Zhou family knows something.

Full of wine and food.

Zhu Ju boarded the carriage and headed towards the Zhu residence.

halfway.

He suddenly opened his eyes, a look of confusion in them, and looked down at his heart.

"Resentment?"

Although he has not yet attained the Great Dao, he is no longer easily tainted by resentment, so this resentment...

"The original body?"

"I was only resurrected by the essence and blood of this body. Now, the original body's marks have almost completely disappeared. Only a little bloodline remains, which can activate resentment. It seems that the cause and effect are extremely intertwined."

Zhu Ju placed his hand on his chest, seemingly lost in thought:
"The original owner was just an ordinary rich kid, and the person who harmed him has already been dealt with. Such resentment can only be..."

"The hatred for the murderer of my father!"

"Is the third leader of the Sky Eagle Bandits, Red Eagle Tong Chixiang, nearby?"

Zhu Ju lifted the carriage curtain and looked towards the outer gate, his eyes gradually changing.
