Chapter 90: Soft and Hard Combined

  "This guy gave Chu Yang a thumbs up: "Your Honor, you're really something! Even I, an undercover agent, only knew the identity of one person, but you managed to dig out everyone without exception. And what's even more incredible is that you did it just by looking at the data; I'm impressed by your exceptional eyesight!"

  "Oh?" Chu Yang closed the case file, waved his hand and looked up at this person.

  This time, without waiting for others to take action, Chen Yutong personally took the file back. Just this one day, Chu Yang established absolute authority! Not to mention anything else, the existence of these internal traitors can completely bury all these people, and as long as they don't make any big mistakes, they can continue to lie dormant.

  Chu Yang and others thus saved all of their lives, and more than once!

  No matter how young Chu Yang is or how high his cultivation base is, just this pair of eyes alone can be said to be unparalleled in the world!

  Chu Yang didn't even move his fingers, nor did he show off his martial arts skills, yet he subdued the entire group of unruly Bu Tian Ge members!

  "You're a traitor too? You've admitted it yourself? Well, that saves me the trouble." Chu Yang smiled and said, "Or perhaps you can tell me something?"

  That man smiled and said: "You didn't ask those people in front, since I stood out myself, you shouldn't ask either."

  Chu Yang nodded in understanding. The moment he saw this person calmly standing up, he didn't have any hope. This person had obviously made preparations to die well, and that's why they were so calm.

  Chu Yang tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said slowly, "I understand. You people, except for the die-hard followers of Fifth Gentleman, have your family members, children, and elderly in their hands; temporarily speaking, we don't have any ability to rescue them, so there's no condition for me to persuade you, therefore I won't ask."

  "In that case, I won't ask you anymore. If someone wants to commit suicide, it's actually quite easy." Chu Yang revealed a smile.

  "The Bǔ Tiān Gé has indeed found a good leader. Chǔ Yù Zuò's cunning and strategies are almost on par with the legendary Fifth Great One; I was really looking forward to watching you all fight, to see who would emerge victorious in the end. Unfortunately, I won't be able to see it." The man smiled as he spoke, but a trickle of black blood had already seeped out from the corner of his mouth, and before standing up, he had bitten open the poisonous pouch in his mouth.

  "We've never actually seen the Fifth Gentleman..." The man's eyes were somewhat strange as he stared at Chu Yang, standing straight and still, without a breath; after a long while, his body finally collapsed.

  But his last sentence seemed to be hinting at something.

  The entire hall was filled with a bloody smell, and it was eerily quiet.

  Cheng Zikang and others were all somewhat stunned. These people were all spies, but not one of them surrendered. One by one, they were caught, but they all died in front of their own faces. The majority of them took their own lives.

  What kind of means is needed to train such a group of people? Especially the last one, who died with a smile, was extremely calm.

  Chu Yang looked at the corpse on the ground, his face also heavy. How many people had been killed by Fifth Gentle's soft hands? He suddenly felt that the name Fifth Gentle was like a great mountain, standing in front of him.

  Originally, he only knew that Di Wu was strong to an unimaginable degree, but after today, Chu Yang's evaluation of Di Wu had risen to an unprecedented height!

  Unprecedented arch-nemesis!

  Chu Yang smiled faintly, collected his thoughts, and looked at the remaining people in the hall, saying: "There are still some left; however, I don't have enough evidence here. For now, I won't mention names, anyway, there won't be any action recently; I hope those who remain can voluntarily withdraw from the Bu Tian Pavilion as soon as possible. As for those who have been in contact with Fifth Gentleman and haven't made a decision yet, I also hope you... make a decision early!"

  Chu Yang paused for a moment, then slowly said: "The Supplement Heaven Pavilion was not established for long; we came here to make achievements in this chaotic world and also for our own family's prosperity. However, being an undercover agent is not an easy task. As long as you voluntarily withdraw, I won't hold it against you! If you voluntarily surrender, not only will you be forgiven, but you'll also be rewarded! I solemnly promise this here! Not only will I not investigate, but I'll also keep your secret!"

  As he spoke, his eyes slowly swept over the dozens of people below; every person he saw felt as if they had been locked onto by a deadly poisonous snake's gaze!

  A chill ran up from the base of his spine and spread to the back of his head.

  "From now on, I only have half an afternoon and evening. Chu Yang said coldly: 'Starting from the Cheng Ge master, one minute for two people, everyone will come in and chat with me. From tomorrow morning onwards, those who are hesitant will be purged, absolutely no tolerance.'"

  "Are there anything else you two premiers want to add?" Chu Yang asked.

  His current tone is somewhat hypocritical. But as soon as he asked this, Cheng Ziang and Chen Yutong simultaneously straightened their backs and said: "As long as Your Excellency has made a decision, we will all resolutely obey!"

  Chu Yang smiled contentedly and said, "Since that's the case, I'll start waiting for you at my place from now on." After finishing speaking, he stood up leisurely and turned to leave.

  Everyone behind him stood up at the same time and saw him off as he left.

  "This throne is really impressive!" someone whispered.

  "It's just this gaze, this wisdom; there's really nothing to say; I don't have any guilty conscience, but being stared at by him, damn it, I suddenly feel like I've lowered my head, and inexplicably feel like I'm in the wrong..."

  "Exactly, I have the same feeling."

  "I just don't know what level of martial arts this Lord is at?" Someone thought endlessly.

  "Cut it out, you just don't get it, nitpicking! With a mind like yours, even if you didn't understand martial arts... what's the difference? Haven't you seen the fifth gentle one?"

  "That's also true."

  "But to tell the truth, this emperor really does look like he doesn't know a thing about martial arts, gentle and refined in both appearance and demeanor, weak and frail, good-looking too, but just one glance at him makes you feel a chill run down your spine..."

  “…………”

  “……”

  Everyone was talking, and then they saw Cheng Ziang already standing up and walking towards Chu Yang's room. Suddenly, there was another wave of discussion: "Guess how many more people will be washed out this time?"

  "Who could have known this? But nine of them are already dead... My dear, those nine guys were with us every day, and I didn't notice anything."

  "Ah, to be honest, this time the throne really saved our lives; if we had gone out to execute the mission without knowing it..."

  "You're right, now that you mention it, I'm getting a chill down my neck..."

  Before long, Cheng Ziang returned from inside, gave a signal with his eyes, Chen Yutong sighed and also walked towards the inside.

  "Look, both of the pavilion masters have already conceded; heh heh, since the establishment of the Supplementing Heaven Pavilion, apart from the Supplementing Heaven Prince, who can make the two pavilion masters concede like this? This imperial seat is truly...not simple at all."

  "What a joke! Now is the time to contend for the world, personal bravery can only decide one place at one time. But wisdom and strategy are the foundation of a country's prosperity, how can they be compared? To surrender to someone like you, not to mention other things, at least it won't be a futile death."

  "That makes sense."
