Chapter 1520 - 1519: Conspiracy
Compensate as needed, handle things as they should be handled.It's just that simple and straightforward.
Gui Yi knew that when a bunch of people come forward, they must have some expectation, if not money, then some request.
"As long as you can keep quiet and stop tarnishing our name, everything is negotiable, or shall we go somewhere else to talk?"
"No way, we'll talk right here, in broad daylight. There's no way you'd dare to kill us on our Northern Island's territory, and if we change places and you get upset, and kill us all, won't we become ghosts unjustly underground?"
This man isn't brainless either; he can think of any possibility you could.
Gui Yi was hopping mad; he wished his other brothers were here so they could each take one or two and solve it privately, and it would be over. But as it happens, not one was here, and the only Family Head was inside the room refusing to come out. Gui Yi was getting a headache and suddenly realized the situation was getting out of his control.
"Just say what you want directly, but I'm warning you, don't ever ask for too much, or I can still take your damned lives."
Gui Yi has a temper too. As long as these people don't touch his bottom line, everything is negotiable. But once they cross it, not even the Heavenly King can stop him from fighting back.
This foolish kid, knowing there's deceit inside, still jumps in. Is this a sign of stupidity?
Zhou Runfa wanted to throw a shoe to wake Gui Yi up.
He hadn't even spoken, and why did Gui Yi think his words would count?
"You brat, don't agree to anything recklessly. It's obvious these people are here to swindle. When did I ever offend them? If you have guts, show the evidence!"
Just as the beggar leader was thinking about how to provoke Gui Yi into a rage and get the people inside to come out, there was soon movement inside.
Zhou Runfa's attitude was so good, completely beyond the expectations of this group of professional actors.
"He's out! The murderer is out!"
The beggar leader looked at Zhou Runfa, eyes shining with gold, wishing he could swallow this piece of gold down his stomach.
"Murderer? Dare to call me a murderer?"
Zhou Runfa just gave the beggar leader one more look, and the latter fell to the ground bleeding from all seven orifices, eyes staring blankly, dead beyond dead.
"Ah, murder! The West Island Zhou Family people are killing in broad daylight, is there no law on this Northern Island?"
Seeing the beggar leader die, the people who gathered to make trouble earlier scattered immediately. They spread the word of the murder scene everywhere, and soon nearly everyone on Northern Island knew about the West Island people's lawless murders. Families with elderly or children and those of weak strength didn't even dare to leave their homes, waiting for the Island Master Mansion to take action and arrest the West Island people.
The Divine Realm had no government office, no place to reason with; each island's Island Master was their Qing Tian. When people in the Northern Island had no one to turn to, they'd find Beiyuan, and Beiyuan would personally appear to help the aggrieved get justice.
Shortly after Zhou Runfa's murder, Beiyuan brought people over.
They set up a stage outside the inn, and Beiyuan sat on it, waiting for his men to bring up Zhou Runfa in custody.
"Family Head, we are not a match for this person."
Beiyuan had been sitting outside for so long but forgot Zhou Runfa's strength. How could he forget that Zhou Runfa was a late-stage upper immortal, and his dispatched people were nothing compared to him?
"Sigh, I should have guessed this outcome; never mind, I will personally eliminate this scourge!"
Beiyuan waited for this moment. Before the suspect could resist, he acted. Though morally speaking, it wasn't justified, but now it was good. Zhou Runfa broke the rules, so as the Island Master, if he acted himself, it was in protection of the Northern Island residents, and his actions were supported by the public and were popular.
Zhou Runfa, like Beiyuan, was a late-stage upper immortal, but Beiyuan's foundation was deeper than Zhou Runfa's. Zhou Runfa was no match for Beiyuan and couldn't even tell when he ended up in Beiyuan's hands.
"Weren't you very arrogant just now? Hahaha, I thought you'd know when enough is enough and stop, but not only did you not return to your West Island on your own, you caused trouble here and harmed my Northern Island residents. What crime should you be charged with?!"
Zhou Runfa glared at Beiyuan, wishing he could tear him apart and swallow him whole.
"Beiyuan, you old fool, this is all a setup by someone else. Have you not seen it because of your dimmed old eyes?"
Zhou Runfa felt so wronged, he'd never been wronged like this before.
But the others had obviously turned black into white, calculating everything into Northern Island people's plan, and Zhou Runfa could only be led by the nose with no other options.
"Don't think I don't know what you're up to, Beiyuan. I just didn't expect the one stabbing me in the back to be you. Was it Tang Rao? Was Tang Rao the one directing you from behind?"
That was Zhou Runfa's only guilt, and the only possible mastermind he could think of.
"How dare you! Our Northern Island Master is the fairest. Don't speak so recklessly!"
Beiyuan didn't even bother to defend himself; naturally, someone spoke for him, showing how much authority Beiyuan, as the Island Master, still held on the Northern Island.
"Speaking recklessly?"
Zhou Runfa suddenly laughed: "Just with what you said, you can determine I'm speaking recklessly. If Northern Island people only support Northern Island people, then do I, a West Island person, also need not be polite to you?"
Zhou Runfa's body was brewing with immortal energy, seemingly about to explode. If the immortal energy suddenly burst out, everyone present would either die or be seriously injured. He wouldn't attempt such a method unless absolutely necessary.
"Father, be careful. This person is wicked. If he's easily caught by you, he must have a backup plan, don't be blinded by him!"
Bei Ming felt something was wrong. Wasn't it? They caught Zhou Runfa too easily, to the point of not even considering whether there was a trap.
"Beiyuan, your son is much smarter than you!"
Zhou Runfa suddenly laughed again, but nobody knew what this laughter implied; it was just so sinister and eerie.
Just when they couldn't understand Zhou Runfa's words, his body began emitting white smoke with a pungent smell. Those around who smelled it couldn't help but start crying.
After crying enough tears, they started bleeding.
"Hurry, cover your eyes."
"Ah, my eyes, are my eyes blind?"
The crowd became chaotic, the sound of fleeing erupted, and no one knew what just happened.
"You, Zhou Runfa, so this is where you were waiting for us."
