Chapter 148: Traitor Executed
With the death of the head manager of the Sun family's pharmacy, the last force in Sanyang City that was against the Zhao family martial arts school was declared destroyed. From then on, the pattern of the Zhao family martial arts school being the only one in power was formed. In the future, as long as there are no major accidents, everyone in the Zhao family martial arts school will live a comfortable life here.

After this matter is over, Li Yi will also start to do some of his own things in Xingzhou. The purpose of his coming this time is not just to avenge his master, but also to find a way out for himself and the people around him in order to avoid the second Tianqing incident.

In addition, he also needs to continue to study martial arts here and enhance his strength.

Just when Li Yi was thinking this.

Near the canal dock, several more fast horses rushed over here.

There were several unfamiliar blood-training warriors, but Li Yi recognized the one leading them. It was the skinny monkey who had left earlier.

The skinny monkey hurried over. As soon as he arrived, he jumped off his horse and held a wooden box in front of Zhao Ge with a look of surprise: "Master, the coffin Zhi has been found."

After the box is opened.

A familiar coffin ganoderma came into view. This coffin ganoderma was the one that Li Yi had bought from Ghost Street at the cost of sixty years of his life.

Zhao Ge was filled with mixed feelings when he saw the coffin. Then he nodded and said, "Well done, Skinny Monkey. Where is the traitor?"

"Master Zhao, the traitor of the Zhao martial arts school is here. We have captured him. Master Zhao, please make your decision."

A martial artist on horseback clasped his fists and bowed, then threw a bloody man with crippled limbs from his horse.

"Thank you." Zhao Ge gestured, then walked towards the disciple with his hand.

Meet this person.

Rong Niang and Zhao Qian were the most indignant. Their eyes turned red and they were filled with murderous intent. They wished they could cut him into pieces immediately.

"Zhang Ye, you are the oldest brother in the Zhao family martial arts school and have the potential to become the head master. Why, why did you betray your master and do such a cruel thing?" Rong Niang rushed over, picked up the man named Zhang Ye, and then questioned loudly.

Zhang Ye knew that he would die today, so he couldn't help but laugh bitterly and said, "A thousand-year-old coffin mushroom is a truly rare treasure. If I use it properly, I will have the opportunity to enter the realm of training. Being the headmaster of the Zhao family martial arts school is nothing to me. My master is old, and it would be a waste to use the coffin mushroom to treat his illness. Ahem, Rong Niang, I am nearly thirty years old, and my energy and blood will only reach their peak in the next two years. Once I pass this hurdle, I will never be able to break through the realm of training in my lifetime. You have practiced martial arts for many years, don't you understand this principle?"

"Damn it, you beast." Rong Niang was so angry that she punched him and made him spit blood.

"Zhang Ye, if you only want the coffin ganoderma, you can just steal it. Why bother with the entire Zhao's martial arts school?" Zhao Ge walked over with a sullen face. He did not blame Zhang Ye for stealing the coffin ganoderma, but only hated that this person deliberately spread the news of his injury, attracting other martial arts forces to attack the Zhao's martial arts school.

Zhang Ye said with blood in his mouth: "Master, don't you understand at your age? I have done such a thing to betray my master and ancestors. How can I live in peace in the future unless the Zhao family martial arts school is destroyed? Either don't do it, or do it to the extreme. And the person who really made me decide to do this is you, Master."

"Why do you say that?" Zhao Ge frowned. "Although I am usually strict, I have always treated you well."

"After the trip to Ghost Street, Master, you accepted Li Yi as your last disciple. You changed at that time. You became more and more impatient with us disciples. You either scolded us for being stupid or despised our poor qualifications. You often said that Yi's bravery is unparalleled. I knew at that time that sooner or later you would pass on the Zhao family martial arts school to him. Even if I became the head of the school, what would it matter? I would just be dependent on others for the rest of my life."

Zhang Ye laughed bitterly at this point, "The most important thing is that even Junior Sister is obsessed with Li Yi. Master, you know I have always had feelings for Junior Sister, but after Ghost Street I know nothing is possible. I have only had this thought and persistence in my life, and now it's all gone. In this case, I will only think about myself, take the coffin, destroy the Zhao family martial arts school, become a master of training, and then create a Zhang family martial arts school of my own in the future."

After hearing this, Zhao Ge fell silent.

He didn't know what to say for a moment.

Perhaps, after witnessing Meng De's talent after the trip to Ghost Street, his attitude towards his disciples did change. He always compared these disciples with Meng De. He ignored the fact that there was only one Li Yi in the world, and it was impossible for other disciples to become the second Li Yi. Perhaps he was indeed harsh on his disciples invisibly.

"Zhang Ye, after saying so much, it still can't cover up your crimes, because you have killed countless fellow apprentices. Now that you are about to die, you blame the master? The master wants to pass on the Zhao family martial arts school to whoever he wants. If you have the ability, why didn't you break through the training before the age of thirty? It's because you don't have enough ability and you just want to take crooked paths. Even I can see that you want to marry Junior Sister, take over the martial arts school, and become the next owner."

The skinny monkey was furious at this moment, pointing at him and cursing, "You usually rely on your seniority and we dare not do anything to you, but why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Do you think your strength can convince others? The deceased senior brothers Li Zhendong, Zhang Jianfei, and Wang Jie, none of them is not stronger than you, it's just that those senior brothers didn't compete, otherwise you wouldn't even be worthy of being the headmaster."

As the skinny guy with the younger generation in the martial arts hall, he knew the situation best and told the truth at this moment.

"Zhang Ye, you know this better than anyone else, so you spend all day forming cliques in the martial arts hall, suppressing this and that, and trying to please the little junior sister, and you don't put your mind on practicing at all. Do you know why there is always a vacant position for the eldest senior brother in all martial arts halls? It is because the position of the eldest senior brother requires talent, strength, and means to convince everyone in every aspect. Only then can you become the eldest senior brother. It is not because you entered the door first that you are the eldest senior brother." The skinny monkey continued to curse: "Master did nothing wrong in the beginning. If the martial arts hall was really given to you, then the martial arts hall would be really finished. Would those crooked means be useful? Who can you beat? Martial arts is about strength. Once you go out, who will recognize you as a senior brother? Who will give you face? Everything is won with one punch after another."

"Now the eldest brother is right in front of you. Compare yourself with him. In what way are you better than him? If there is one thing, I, Skinny Monkey, will kneel down and kowtow to you. You are not worthy of him in terms of talent, strength, or age. Even in terms of appearance, the eldest brother is far better than you. As for character, you, a shameless villain, are even less worthy. The coffin Zhi was bought by the eldest brother and given to the master for treatment. It cost him a lot of his life. If it were you, would you be willing to give it up?"

"If Junior Sister falls in love with a jerk like you, she would be blind."

At this moment, Skinny Monkey wanted to vent all his unhappiness.

He has tolerated Zhang Ye for a long time. If it weren't for the seniority advantage and the fact that he couldn't beat him, he would have taught him a lesson long ago.

Zhang Ye was speechless at the moment of being scolded. He just raised his eyes and looked at the young man standing not far away.

This senior brother whom I met for the first time was truly like a god descending to earth, majestic and powerful, and awe-inspiring.

Compared with such people, he was as ugly as a loach on the ground.

"Haha, what's the point of saying these things now? It's just a death." Zhang Ye continued to laugh, his expression a little crazy.

"Zhang Ye, no matter how many reasons you have, the fact is that you betrayed the martial arts school and killed so many people. I was the one who brought you here, and today I will personally send you off."

Zhao Ge didn't think twice at this moment. He just strode over, raised his hand and punched out, wanting to personally put an end to this traitor who betrayed his teacher and ancestors.

Zhang Ye was already seriously injured, with his hands and feet disabled, making him unable to resist. After being hit by a punch, his heart meridians were shattered, and he screamed and fell to the ground.

Soon, his breath completely stopped and he became a corpse.

With the death of this traitor and the recovery of the coffin, everything finally came to an end.

After personally killing this villain, Zhao Ge's depression finally dissipated, and he seemed to feel a lot more relaxed.

"It's too good for him to die so easily." The skinny monkey spat at Zhang Ye's body.

Zhao Ge looked at it for a few seconds, then retracted his gaze and said, "Shouhou, please go and inform all the disciples of the martial arts school. Tell them that the revenge of the Zhao family martial arts school is over. Let them gather together and prepare to rebuild the martial arts school."

"Yes, Master." The skinny monkey responded with a fist salute, and then a little excitement appeared on his face.

He was happier than anyone else about the reconstruction of the martial arts school.

"Master Zhao, your soul injury has not yet healed. If you trust me, please let my Treasure Shop do the work of preparing the medicine and refining the elixir. Within three days, my Treasure Shop will help you gather all the major medicines and refine the soul-returning elixir you need." At this moment, Shen Shi, the owner of the Treasure Shop, seized the opportunity to come over, wanting to lend a hand and resolve the previous unpleasantness at the same time.

Zhao Ge looked at the coffin in his hand, and then said calmly, "Then I'll trouble Master Shen to bring everything I need to Zhao's martial arts hall. I, Zhao Ge, want to see the resurrection pill made with my own eyes."

After this experience, he dared not hand over the coffin to strangers again.

"Of course." Shen Shi understood in his heart and said with a smile.

"I'll trouble you abbots to take care of the rest. I believe you are very careful and will not let me down." Then, Zhao Ge looked at the other two abbots.

"Don't worry, Master Zhao. We understand." Zhang Tiefeng and Hua Sanjie said seriously.

Now that the Liu family in charge of the grain transport business and the Sun family in charge of the medicine business have been destroyed, their property needs to be cleared out and taken over. This job will naturally be done by them. After all, the Zhao family martial arts school is short-staffed. After that, the layout of Sanyang City will need to be redivided according to the opinions of Zhao Ge and Li Yi.
