Chapter 403: Bluebeard's Last Words

"What are you talking about?" Fang Yuxiang said through gritted teeth. "I'm your wife. I didn't poison you, so what antidote are you talking about?"

"Bitch!" Bluebeard spat, his eyes narrowing at the silk brocade pinned to Fang Yuxiang's dress. She had just used that very cloth to wipe the cup from which he drank.

"I was sincere with you, and yet you want to silence me forever," he continued, his voice hardening. "I'll say it one last time: if you don't give me the antidote, I'll expose everything!"

Fang Yuxiang's eyes flashed, and a dagger suddenly appeared from her sleeve, aimed straight for Bluebeard's heart.

However, someone else was already on guard. Her dagger had barely left her hand when it was effortlessly plucked out of her grasp by two slender fingers.

With a casual flick of his wrist, Lu Xiaofeng sent the dagger hurtling towards the beam above, where it embedded itself with a loud 'dong'.

"He is, after all, your husband," Lu Xiaofeng said calmly. "He shouldn't die by your hand."

Fang Yuxiang clenched her jaw.

Bluebeard's eyes had now taken on a deathly gray hue, and he panted as he glared at Lu Xiaofeng. "You're blind!"

Lu Xiaofeng sighed. "I am blind."

"I'm not Fei Tian Yu Hu," Bluebeard said, leaning heavily on the table. "Fang Yu Fei is the Fei Tian Yu Hu, the second generation. The real Fei Tian Yu Hu is his father, Zhong Wu Gu of Wudang!"

As soon as these words left his mouth, everyone was shocked.

"Zhong Wu Gu, the most formidable secular disciple of Wudang, master of featherlight movement and unparalleled palm strikes? He's Fei Tian Yu Hu?" Hua Man Lou exclaimed, his expression aghast.

Xue Bing added, "It's said that he was the most formidable secular disciple Wudang had seen in the past two hundred years. But three years ago, he suddenly disappeared. Rumor has it that he violated the rules of Wudang and was personally expelled by Mu Daoren."

"Zhong Wu Gu is Fei Tian Yu Hu, and Fang Yu Fei is his son?" Ouyang Qing looked at Fang Yu Fei, also finding it hard to believe.

Fang Yuxiang's face turned pale, while Fang Yu Fei remained expressionless.

Su Shao Ying smiled but said nothing, and Lu Xiaofeng fell silent.

"More than a decade ago, when Zhong Wu Gu was establishing the Black Tiger Hall, I was also involved," Bluebeard said hoarsely. "I witnessed Fang Yu Fei taking over the Black Tiger Hall, but sadly..."

"Your greed got the better of you," Lu Xiaofeng continued indifferently. "After being quietly marginalized by Fang Yu Fei within the Black Tiger Hall, you planned to use the Luo Cha token to start anew in the Western Demon Sect."

Bluebeard fell silent, for Lu Xiaofeng's words were true.

"I didn't marginalize him," Fang Yu Fei interjected. "I even gave him my sister as a wife. It was he who chose to leave the Black Tiger Hall and open the Silver Hook Gambling House."

Bluebeard glared at Fang Yu Fei, his eyes filled with hatred. "I fell for your scheme and trusted you as one of my own."

Fang Yu Fei let out a cold laugh. "Just as Lu Xiaofeng said, if you considered me one of your own, why didn't you give me the Luo Cha token? Why, instead, did you use me as a cover and invite Lu Xiaofeng to help you?"

"The Luo Cha token was given to me as collateral by Yu Tian Bao," Bluebeard said, his breathing becoming more labored as he spoke. "Why would I give it to you?"

Bluebeard's gaze then shifted to Fang Yuxiang, and despite himself, a glimmer of hope shone in his eyes. "Did you ever love me?"

Fang Yuxiang remained silent, but Lu Xiaofeng suddenly spoke up. "Fang Yuxiang isn't Fang Yu Fei's sister."

"Impossible!" Bluebeard rejected the idea outright. "Zhong Wu Gu has a son and a daughter. I know this for a fact."

Since Fang Yuxiang wasn't Fang Yufei's sister, there was only one conclusion to be drawn.

"Fang Yuxiang is Fang Yufei's lover. He had her marry you to keep an eye on you, and perhaps to steal the Luo Cha token from you," Su Shaoying said with a smile. "Surprised?"

Bluebeard clenched his teeth and then laughed heartily. "Surprised! I may have fallen for his scheme, but I also slept with his lover! It was worth it!"

As his laughter died down, Bluebeard fell backward, pulling out a jade token from his bosom and tossing it to Su Shaoying. "Take the Luo Cha token as a token of my gratitude for letting me live a little longer!"

Su Shaoying reached out and caught the token, examining it briefly before tossing it to Gu Song. "I'm the heir to the Emei Sect. I have no interest in the Western Demon Sect."

Gu Song caught the token, his eyes lighting up with delight. "Thank you!"

"You're welcome!" Su Shaoying smiled. "I hope you can take this token and return safely to Kunlun Mountain to succeed as the leader of the Demon Sect."

Gu Song's face turned solemn. "We want to retrieve the Luo Cha token, not to ascend to the position of leader. We simply do not wish for deceitful and treacherous people to gain power and turn our sect into a tool for their ambitions."

"The Three Friends of Winter truly understand righteousness. I'm impressed!" Su Shaoying praised with a bow.

In the brief pause of their conversation, Bluebeard had overturned the table and chairs, summoning his last bit of internal energy to strike out at Fang Yufei.

Even at the brink of death, he chose not to attack the closer Fang Yuxiang.

Unfortunately, he had underestimated Fang Yufei.

Although young, Fang Yufei's martial arts skills were not weak, especially now that the poison had spread throughout his body. Despite appearing to be in a desperate state, his body had stiffened, and just as his hand reached Fang Yufei's chest, Fang Yufei's hand had already found its way to his neck.

"Crack!"

A faint sound, and Bluebeard's neck was twisted, his neck broken.

Fang Yufei released his hold, allowing Bluebeard's body to fall limply to the ground. He sighed and turned to Lu Xiaofeng. "I am Fei Tian Yu Hu."

Lu Xiaofeng sighed as well. "You are Fei Tian Yu Hu."

"You knew Fang Yuxiang wasn't my sister," Fang Yufei said, his eyes flashing. "In fact, you suspected me a long time ago."

"That's right," Lu Xiaofeng nodded. "I just wanted to test the relationship between you and Bluebeard, but I didn't expect Fang Yuxiang to make a move so soon."

Fang Yuxiang's face was pale. If she hadn't poisoned Bluebeard, would he have revealed Fang Yufei's identity?

Fang Yufei replied calmly, "She should have made her move earlier."

"It wouldn't have made a difference if she had," Lu Xiaofeng said, turning to Su Shaoying. "We have someone here who can detoxify the poison."

Su Shaoying smiled. "Unfortunately, my all-purpose detox pill can only alleviate the symptoms, not cure it completely."

"It doesn't matter," Fang Yufei smiled back. "He was going to die anyway."

Gu Song agreed. "No one can play us and get away without paying the price."

"What about me?" Fang Yufei looked at Lu Xiaofeng. "What price must I pay?"
