《World of Experts 》Chapter 163: Righteousness Before Family (2)
Advertisement
After hearing the words of Lord Wen, the room became much quieter…
Suddenly, Dian Wei had an idea and said: “Li Yong is dead, but can’t we still look for Li Heng? Li Heng has a very close relation with Wei Wentong and Li Hong. Whatever Li Yong knows, Li Heng should know it. Come to think about it, Li Heng and Li Yong are siblings, she will surely confess!”
After speaking, Dian Wei was ready to run to Wei Wentong’s residence and capture Li Heng.
Merely, Extinct God stopped him and shook his head. Zhang Han also shook his head.
This time, Zhang Han spoke. The disappointment in his eyes was obvious. His voice, which always used to be steady, had also changed as he said: “Hero Dian, thank you for getting rid of the evils of my Hibiscus County. Li Yong’s matter is already over. Since Wei Wentong can kill Li Yong, he will naturally not let Li Heng go. Wei Wentong will never leave a pair of brother and sister who can betray him at any time…” Zhang Han appeared as if he wanted to say more, but he didn’t continue.
In fact, Zhang Han wanted to say. If the three lords had forcibly protected and captured Li Heng just now, then Wei Wentong wouldn’t have been able to kill the witness. Like that, what Dian Wei had said might be feasible. However, since the three lords had given up pursuing this matter, not daring to face Wei Wentong’s backer, Zhang Han knew that Li Heng should have already become a beautiful corpse by now.
“How could that be!” Dian Wei still didn’t believe it and rushed out. Extinct God and Lu Bu also followed behind him. And after they arrived in front of Wei Wentong’s house, sure enough, they saw an ice-cold woman’s corpse that had not disappeared yet.
Looking carefully, that woman was Li Heng. Her eyes were filled with confusion and also fear. She had also never thought that Wei Wentong, who loved her dearly, would disregard their past love like this. She was poisoned to death. The green air rising from her mouth was the sign of Green Bamboo Leaf Poison.

“Very good! You three have come in time. Take it away. These are all bad deeds this evil woman did behind my back. Since I found out that her brother was not a good person, I examined her accounts after returning. Sure enough, it didn’t exceed my expectations. Both are jackals from the same lair. So, I naturally placed righteousness before family. However, considering our past mutual affection, I didn’t behead her. This can also be counted as letting her rest in peace.” Wei Wentong said with an extremely natural expression. There was no extra sadness, and there was also a bit of a heroic look.
If other people saw his current appearance, they would truly regard him as a hero, who was so righteous that he wouldn’t even cover up his family.
However, upon seeing this, Dian Wei was truly angry. Now, he already had a halberd in his hand and was also fully equipped along with a war horse. Naturally, Extinct God had given him these things.
With this full set of equipment, Dian Wei could certainly take down Wei Wentong.
Unfortunately, Extinct God still had no intention of letting Dian Wen do anything here. Dian Wei gritted his teeth in anger, turned to Extinct God and yelled: “What are you thinking? Why aren’t you letting me kill this kind of evil person?” Dian Wei was a person who would never go back on his words. Without the permission of Extinct God, he wouldn’t attack. Even if the other party attacked him, it would be the same.
Extinct God didn’t say much, just asked indifferently: “Brother Dian, you kill him, then what?”
Yes, kill him, then what? Li Yong died, then another Li Yong would appear. He couldn't even implicate Wei Wentong. Similarly, Wei Wentong died, then another Wei Wentong would appear. He couldn’t implicate the person behind the scenes. Could it be that he had enough power to kill a core member of the Divine and Mighty Alliance?
Regardless of how skilled he was, at least, the current meager amount of strength was far from enough.
He should either accumulate enough strength to resist, just like Zhang Jue and Wu Guang. They planned to assist Shi Hao in overthrowing the Divine and Mighty Alliance.

Or, go further in the Divine and Mighty Alliance until he had the power to change all these cruel facts. Power is a double-edged sword. When used well, it is good medicine that will help the world and benefit the common people. If not used well, then it is a poison that will destroy the world and kill people without leaving behind anything.
Shi Hao also naturally didn’t want to rashly lift the banner of rebellion. In fact, after meeting Zhang Jue and Wu Guan, Shi Hao had thought deeply about the future. The Divine and Mighty Alliance had already existed for so long, It should be on the way to destruction. However, if he truly lifted the banner of rebellion and ignited raging wars on this vast territory, then regardless of success or failure, there would be a cruel sacrifice.
If Shi Hao was given a chance and he stood at the core position of the Divine and Mighty Alliance, then he would definitely overturn the decadent trend of the Divine and Mighty Alliance.
In fact, before Shi Hao knew it, his mindset had already changed from playing the game just for Su Xiao to continue playing the game to change this game world.
If it was just for Su Xiao, then his current status was already enough. No one could stop his relationship with Su Xiao. If it was ‘truly’ successful, then as long as Su Xiao recovered her memories, Shi Hao could just continue to develop, following the prescribed order. There was no need to worry about the life or death of the Divine and Mighty Alliance, and also, many annoying things that happened in the game. He and Su Xiao could always live free and unfettered.
Speaking about it, Shi Hao recalled that trip to the Seafloor World again. If it weren’t for that experience, Shi Hao wouldn’t have bitterly hated these malicious deeds like this. At that time, if luck was not on their side, then both Arnold and Mina might have died. Mina would have naturally poisoned herself to death, and Arnold would have consciously followed her footsteps.
Although it was not the territory of Divine and Mighty Alliance, the environment was worse than the places under Divine and Mighty Alliance. However, regardless of which side, Shi Hao wanted to do something.
At this moment, Dian Wei understood the truth. He had a hot temper, but he was not a person lacking common sense.
He also figured it out. He finally understood the meaning of Extinct God’s previous words, ‘He who holds no rank in a state does not discuss its policies.’
Since that was the case, Dian Wei also retracted his weapon.
The night gradually fell, and the affairs of Hibiscus County also ended cruelly like this…
Not long afterward, the deed of Wei Wentong placing righteousness before family would spread around. At that time, many people would spread the words that Wei Wentong was a good official who personally executed Li Yong and Li Heng. Wei Wentong might even be rewarded by the Divine and Mighty Alliance. After all, his backer’s power and influence were exceedingly high.
But regardless, Shi Hao would take care of them, sooner or later.
Looking carefully, outside Hibiscus County, the moon tonight did not look bad. It might be a full moon tonight, and coupled with those stars, it looked even more enchanting.
So, in the midst of this beautiful night, Lu Bu left at ease.
He was quite satisfied with this incident. Although he lost Bright Silver Stroke Halberd, he also got a handy weapon. As for the failure of the mission, it was not his fault. After seeing Wei Wentong’s performance for so long, he had learned something. It might be impossible to completely push away the responsibility of defeat, but it wouldn’t be a problem to push away half the responsibility.
Lu Bu was very pleased with himself and left just like that…
Suddenly, a roar resounded within the radius of five meters: “Dian Wei pays respect to milord!” Dian Wei willingly greeted Shake the Heaven, who had removed the disguise of Extinct God…
