Chapter 43: Chapter 43- Clash

"Yes elder" On the orders of Zhang Zhan, the subordinate name Zhang Bu walked towards Li Hao.

"Oh? brother Zhang Bu is going to hand me the reward. Haha... I appreciate your... Kugh... gugh" Li Hao couldn't complete his sentence as a blade suddenly came digging into his heart.

Zhang Bu who should have given him the reward, had suddenly attacked him.

Puff... a mouthful of blood was spat out, Li Hao looked at Zhang Bu with disbelieving eyes. His gaze slowly turned towards Elder Zhang Zhan as he asked with much difficulty "Why...".

Li Hao's eyes slowly lost their lustre and fell to the ground.

"Hmph, to think that he dares to expect a reward after leaving young master Zhang Wei behind to die. Bet he was hoping to use us to get his revenge too" Zhang Bu kicked Li Hao's body in scorn and pulled his sword back.

Nobody other than yang chen was surprised by this turn of event.

With Li Hao taken care of, all eyes inadvertently turned towards Yang Chen who was their real target.

"Brat I will ask you a few simple questions, so do not waste my time" Zhang Zhan who had his eyes on Yang Chen from the start raised his questions.

"My first question... are you Yang Chen?".

The question that Zhang Zhan asked first was on everybody's mind. It may sound silly given all the effort they had put to ambush him; however, they needed to ascertain this fact or else it would be way too funny if they mistakenly killed some random person believing that they were Yang Chen.

The person in question was silent, he was weighing his options in his mind. He could try to bluff his way out and deny that he was Yang Chen. However, he knew that this method wouldn't work since he could tell that these people were ready to kill him regardless of if he really was the person they were after or not so as to wipe any evidence of their clan's involvement.

"I see... I see... you killed him by crushing his chest" Zhang Zhan inhaled and exhaled a few times, his body was shaking a littler; nevertheless, he still looked calmly.

"Edler..."

The clan members slowly backed down, those who knew Zhang Zhan, knew how enraged he was at this moment.

"Then for my last question... were you the one who killed the third young master Zhang Wei" Eyes still closed, Zhang Zhan asked his last question.

Now that the cat was out of the bag and everything was in the light, there was no reason for Yang Chen to hide anything. He once again nodded his head and accepted the fact about killing Zhang Wei.

The place turned edeathly silent the moment he nodded his head, everybody felt their throat become dry as they looked at Yang Chen as if he was some kind of madman. The way he accepted the last fact was as if the one he had killed was just an ordinary guy you could just beat up in the street.

'Does he even realise what he had done? He had not just killed anybody but the third son of their patriarch'.

The members of the Zhang clan trembled thinking what kind of consequences they would have to face once they returned back. They were afraid of facing the anger of the strongest practioner in the cloud city, the clan leader.

The third young master zhang wei was sent with them so they shared some responsibility for his death. These members of the Zhang clan had a gloomy face and their hearts was filled with hatred for Yang Chen.

But they dared not move because the strongest person here, elder zhang zhan was yet to say anything.

Zhang Zhan had his eyes closed and stood silent for a long time as if he had turned into a statue. It was only after a while that he breathed out and slowly opened his eyes.

"Good.. good... very good. Brat I must say that you have hid yourself within our clan very skilfully".
