The Eerie Immortal Path: Begin by Devouring Fairy Flesh-Chapter 82 – The scheme of the three Vice Hall Masters!
As Brandon Jiang's cold voice echoed, everyone present couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
Forcing Shi Chun to disembowel himself in public to prove his innocence—this was clearly pushing someone to their death!
This Wang Chujian was not only arrogant but also extremely ruthless, like a demonic cultivator!
"Brother Wang, this isn't necessary, really not necessary!"
Someone couldn't stand it anymore and tried to persuade him:
"We're all brothers in the same hall, why escalate things to the point of using knives and swords?"
"Yeah, it's just a first-level Qi Refining cultivator. No need to get so angry. If you're upset, have Deputy Hall Master Shi assign you ten or eight first-level Qi Refining followers, and the matter will be settled, right?"
"Brother Wang, think it over. Ruining relationships with colleagues will make life difficult in the future!"
Shi Chun also came to his senses and kept begging Brandon Jiang for mercy:
"Brother Wang, I was reckless just now. I'll compensate you however you want. Just let this matter pass."
Listening to the crowd's persuasion and veiled threats, Brandon Jiang coldly replied:
"You think this is a small matter, but I don't!"
"No matter Xiao Sun's cultivation level, he was my subordinate, and he disappeared the next day! You're slapping me in the face!"
"If someone dares to disrespect me, I won't respect them either!"
As he spoke, he coldly looked at Shi Chun:
"Who told you to swallow my subordinate? Speak!"
Shi Chun instantly felt like a duck being strangled, unable to utter a word.
After a while, he stammered:
"I didn't... didn't swallow your subordinate! Really, I didn't!"
"Stubborn fool!"
Brandon Jiang snorted coldly, grabbed his iron sword, and, under everyone's shocked gaze, stabbed it fiercely into Shi Chun's abdomen!
"Ahhh!!!"
Blood stained the sword, and Shi Chun's eyes bulged as he screamed miserably, sending chills down everyone's spine!
"Bang—"
Hall Master Zheng suddenly stood up, glaring at Brandon Jiang with tiger-like eyes, gritting his teeth:
"Wang Chujian! You've gone too far!"

As he spoke, the aura of a seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator surged out, forming an invisible pressure that enveloped Brandon Jiang.
However, Brandon Jiang remained calm, his tone playful:
"I'm looking for my subordinate's whereabouts. Why are you so anxious?"
"Could it be... you know he's hidden in Shi Chun's stomach? Or did you orchestrate this?"
As he spoke, Brandon Jiang slid his iron sword, slowly cutting open Shi Chun's belly.
Shi Chun was in so much pain that he couldn't even scream, his face pale, blood gushing from the wound, looking like he could die at any moment.
Hall Master Zheng watched this scene angrily, his fists clenched tightly, eyes almost spitting fire!
Suddenly, Shi Chun's belly bulged, and a large amount of flesh and blood gushed out like a fountain.
Among them was a somewhat intact body, barely recognizable.
Brandon Jiang glanced at the corpse, then at the crowd, and said indifferently:
"It seems I guessed right. Someone among us dared to secretly kill our own brothers!"
"What should be the fate of such scum and traitors?"
Brandon Jiang scanned everyone present, but they all avoided his gaze, remaining silent.
In the next moment, Brandon Jiang swung his long sword, Shi Chun's head flew off, and blood splattered.
Then, Brandon Jiang's voice echoed again:
"Only death!"
After killing, he sheathed his sword and said calmly:
"My business is done. If anyone has something to say, now is the time."
Although these words seemed directed at everyone, it was clear he was provoking Hall Master Zheng!
Hall Master Zheng was already furious, ready to charge at Brandon Jiang!
But at that moment, Deputy Hall Masters Fu and Jia suddenly intervened, tightly holding Hall Master Zheng and shaking their heads meaningfully.
Seeing this, Hall Master Zheng seemed to remember something, gritted his teeth, and slowly sat back down, coldly saying:
"Indeed, such scum deserves to die. Killing him is good."
The other deputy hall masters, seeing Hall Master Zheng's stance, didn't dare to cause more trouble and quickly echoed, condemning the dead Shi Chun.
But this situation greatly surprised Brandon Jiang.
If nothing unexpected happened, Shi Chun should have been an important confidant of Hall Master Zheng.
Yet, his confidant was dead, and the other party could still endure it?!
The reason he made such a big scene was to force Hall Master Zheng to act, then kill him and take his place, thus getting closer to Frank Fan.
But Hall Master Zheng's forbearance disrupted his plan.
However, this also proved that Hall Master Zheng and the other two deputy hall masters had deeper schemes!
Only such a reason could explain why they didn't dare to cause trouble, fearing it would affect their original plan.
As for what this plan specifically was, Brandon Jiang didn't know, but it was likely related to the Brotherhood Hall or Frank Fan.
It seemed he needed to find a way to gather more information.
Brandon Jiang quickly thought through his next steps, while outwardly showing no change, smiling and saying:
"Hall Master Zheng, you are truly wise and just. I admire you."
"If there's nothing else, you all can continue your meeting. I'll take my leave."
With that, he turned and left, not forgetting to take Shi Chun and Xiao Sun's bodies, causing the three deputy hall masters to feel a pang of heartache.
After returning, Brandon Jiang calculated the time, waiting for the meeting to end, then went to find Hall Master Zheng and the others.
On the way, Brandon Jiang saw the three deputy hall masters walking side by side in one direction.
Brandon Jiang activated his Daoist art for concealing his true cultivation, blending his aura completely with the environment, and followed them.
His Daoist art was a gift from Foundation Establishment cultivator Patricia Qing, of high quality. Combined with his unique enhancement of Daoist arts, once fully activated, his aura would merge entirely with the surroundings.
Hall Master Zheng and the others were just rogue cultivators. Even if Brandon Jiang stood behind them, they might not notice.
Unaware of Brandon Jiang's tracking, the three arrived at Hall Master Zheng's residence. After dismissing all the servants, Hall Master Zheng's long-suppressed anger finally erupted!
Crash—
Hall Master Zheng slapped a vase, smashing it, and roared in anger:
"Ahhh! I'm so furious!!!"
"Wang Chujian! Wang Chujian! How dare a fifth-level Qi Refining ant be so arrogant!"
"How dare he! If not for the critical moment of our plan, I would have killed him!"
Deputy Hall Master Jia quickly advised:
"Brother Zheng, calm down. A small impatience spoils great plans. Frank Fan hasn't fully secluded himself yet. If there's too much commotion and he steps in, who knows how long we'll have to wait!"
"Once we eliminate Frank Fan and fully control the Brotherhood Hall, a mere Wang Chujian will be at your mercy!"
Thinking of the impending success, Hall Master Zheng's heart burned with excitement, his anger subsiding. He nodded steadily and asked:
"Brother Jia is right. We, the Blood Demon Trio, have plotted for the Brotherhood Hall for so long. We can't ruin it because of me."
"By the way, have you found out the exact date of Frank Fan's seclusion?"
Deputy Hall Master Fu replied coldly:
"Frank Fan, that old ghost, is over 160 years old, but his combat power hasn't diminished and might even break through further!"
"He's been planning this breakthrough for a long time. I see he's almost ready, and in ten days, it's an auspicious day. If I were him, I'd choose that day to break through!"
Hall Master Zheng and Deputy Hall Master Jia immediately showed joy!
Ten days!
If the plan went smoothly, in ten days, they would not only get an eighth-level Qi Refining body but also control the entire Brotherhood Hall!
