The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

In fact, Tong Ling's killing of Mao Lu did not make Xiuyun feel sad and angry. Instead, it made her grateful because Mao Lu was just a stumbling block to her.

But since Mao Lu was nominally her husband, she still had to pretend to be sad and angry.

What's more, Tong Ling's existence was a great threat to her.

Duan Tianyang walked towards the square without hesitation. When he reached the wooden stake, he couldn't help but take a closer look. Tong Ling looked so haggard, with a wound on her head and blood all over her face. But her eyes were still sharp, and her black and white eyes were staring straight at him.

Duan Tianyang stared at Tong Ling and asked helplessly: "Did you kill Mao Lu?"

Tong Ling answered fearlessly: "Yes, I killed him!"

Duan Tianyang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you want to kill him?"

Tong Ling looked straight at him, glanced at Xiuyun, and suddenly laughed out loud, saying, "On the second night after you left, Mao Lu broke into my room and tried to do something bad to me..."

"You are slandering me!" Xiuyun retorted in a trembling voice with anger turning pale.

Tong Ling laughed out loud: "Mao Lu said that Chang Yuan and his wife had an improper relationship. Now that Chang Yuan is gone, I will give him a taste of his own medicine and let Chang Yuan have a taste of what it feels like to be cuckolded!"

As soon as she said this, everyone present looked embarrassed.

Xiuyun's body trembled, and she pointed at Tong Ling, but she was speechless for a moment.

It turned out that Mao Lu had already known about the affair between Chang Yuan and Xiuyun, but he had kept it secret.

While Chang Yuan was away, he put the entire blame on Tong Ling. Judging from Chang Yuan's love for her, he just treated Tong Ling as his new favorite.

"In that case, Mao Lu really deserves to die!" Duan Tianyang said with a stern face and gritted teeth.

"Brother Yuan, don't listen to this little bitch's lies. She...she is talking complete nonsense!" Xiuyun's voice trembled when she said this, and even she herself seemed to lack confidence.

Duan Tianyang had a blank expression on his face and ordered coldly: "Let her go and take her back to my room. I will interrogate her personally and find out the truth of the matter."

"Brother Yuan!" Xiuyun shouted anxiously.

Duan Tianyang's face became even gloomier, and he shouted angrily: "What? Do you think what I said is bullshit?"

The people around did not dare to hesitate any longer. Wang Da and Li Yong immediately stepped forward to untie the rope on Tong Ling and helped her walk towards the mansion.

Duan Tianyang said coldly: "Wang Da, Li Yong, you two are responsible for keeping an eye on her. If anything happens to her, or if she dares to run away again, I will hold you accountable!"

"Yes, Brother Yuan!" Wang Da and Li Yong both answered.

Duan Tianyang then led everyone into the main hall of the mansion.

He sat on the main seat, looked around at everyone present, and asked, "This time, the three of us were captured by Duan Tianyang, and then he released us. Does anyone know his intention?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads to express their confusion.

Chi Xun rolled his eyes and guessed quietly: "Could it be that Duan Tianyang wants to bring our Chang family army under his command?"

Duan Tianyang immediately took over the conversation: "That's right. He wants to issue an imperial edict to us."

"What?" Zhang Yiyi slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Duan Tianyang actually wants to recruit us? We finally attacked Biqiu City, but he ruined it, causing us to fail and lose so many brothers. Now he still wants to recruit us, it's simply wishful thinking!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Tianyang interrupted him with a rather dissatisfied look: "I have decided to accept Duan Tianyang's offer of amnesty."

After hearing these words, Zhang Yi was stunned with astonishment, and the others were also dumbfounded. They all stared at Duan Tianyang, unable to react for a while.

However, Chi Xun behaved very calmly. He believed that if Chang Yuan had not accepted the amnesty, he would have been executed by Duan Tianyang as a rebel. How could he have returned to Lingfei Town safely?

He smiled easily and said calmly: "Choosing to submit to Duan Tianyang may be a good opportunity."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Yi asked with his eyes wide open.

Chi Xun explained leisurely, "We failed in our surprise attack on Biqiu City this time, with heavy casualties and great damage to our power. The Yunhuan Sect, which has always had a grudge against us, will definitely not miss this great opportunity and will definitely take the opportunity to attack us. With only the more than 1,000 people we have now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the Yunhuan Sect's offensive. Joining Duan Tianyang may be our only way out at the moment. What's more, Duan Tianyang is an extraordinary person. He was promoted from an insignificant battalion guard chief to the city guard chief of Biqiu City in just a few months. Such an achievement is amazing. Following Duan Tianyang, we may really be able to achieve something in the future!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Zhang Yi slammed the table angrily, "How can we do nothing following Brother Yuan!" His anger was obviously rising.

Chi Xun remained silent on the surface, but shook his head secretly in his heart.

He felt that although Chang Yuan was full of drive and had a generous personality, which qualified him to be the leader of a faction, he was still far from being good enough to become the overlord who dominated a region.

Judging from the current situation, Chi Xun believes that Duan Tianyang is the most likely candidate to become the ruler of Xiguan.

At this time, Duan Tianyang gently waved his hand, interrupting their argument. He said calmly: "You two don't need to argue about this anymore. I, Chang Yuan, am not a person who goes back on my word. Since I have already promised Duan Tianyang, I will never go back on my word. From now on, my Chang family army is Duan Tianyang's subordinate. If any brother is unwilling to follow me to join him, I will not force him. You can leave now."

When Zhang Yi heard this, he shrank his neck, sat back in his chair silently, and didn't say another word.

In his heart, he actually wanted to follow Chang Yuan rather than Duan Tianyang, but he could not accept being asked to quit.

Duan Tianyang turned to the crowd and asked, "Brothers, if you want to withdraw, you can ask for it now. I will never make it difficult for you."

"Brother Yuan," Zhang Yi was the first to speak up, "Since we followed you, we have never thought of quitting. Wherever you go, we will follow you, brothers, don't you agree?"

Everyone nodded and answered in unison: "That's right!"

"We'll go wherever Brother Yuan goes, but there's one thing we must not let this little bitch Tong Ling stay!" Xiuyun said.

Now that Mao Lu is gone, the biggest obstacle between her and Chang Yuan is Tong Ling.

Chi Xun understood Xiuyun's thoughts. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Brother Yuan, Tong Ling really can't be kept. Mao Lu died at her hands. He is our brother. If Brother Yuan ignores this, I'm afraid it will make the brothers feel disappointed!"

Hearing that Chi Xun also supported her, Xiuyun's confidence increased greatly. She said to Duan Tianyang firmly: "Brother Yuan, Chi Xun is right. Do you really want to disappoint all the brothers?"
