"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission of defeating the experts of the six major sects. You have received the mission reward: a complete version of the Clear Jade Technique manual, a jar of Dark Ice Green Fire Wine, and three surrender cards (limited to the use of the experts of the six major sects).”At this moment, the system suddenly sounded a notification that the mission was completed.
Ling Yihan quietly hid the reward items into his storage ring, then said loudly,""Since everyone in the martial arts world respects me as the leader of the martial arts world, I have a few important things to announce.”
When he said this, the heroes pricked up their ears and listened solemnly.
Ling Yihan paused and continued,""First of all, be it the Ming Cult or the various sects of the Central Plains, we are all Han people. Ever since the Yuan people took over the Han territory, they have been oppressing us everywhere. Now, the Yellow Emperor of the Mongol Empire, Emperor Yuan Shun, is even more fatuous and cruel. What do you think we should do?”
Upon hearing him mention the Yuan Dynasty weapon, no matter how much the heroes present disliked the Ming Cult, they all said in unison,"Expel the Tartars and return the Han Empire to us!”
When Ling Yihan heard this, he nodded and said,""Very good. Since everyone has the righteousness of the nation in their hearts, there's no need for me to say anything more. However, if he wanted to defeat the Yuan soldiers and overthrow the tyranny of the imperial court, he had to obtain the support of the people. As the saying went, those who won the hearts of the people won the world! To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the country! If there are disciples in our alliance army who bully the people, what should we do?”
When the heroes heard this, they looked at each other and spoke sparsely.
Yu Daiyan of Wudang Sect suddenly shouted,"He should be punished to calm his heart!”
When Ling Yihan heard this, he nodded and smiled.""Swordsman Yu San is indeed straightforward and chivalrous. As expected of the Wudang Seven Swordsmen!”
As he spoke, he turned to look at the Ming Cult's elders and continued,""Wei Bat King, report your crimes!"
"Yes, sir! Cult Master!"
Wei Yixiao, the Green Wing Fortune King, obeyed the orders of the Cult Master, Ling Yihan. He immediately held up a book and handed it to Ling Yihan, who was sitting on the stone bench.
Ling Yihan flipped open the first page of the book and said loudly,""This is the various intelligence of the martial world that the Ming Cult has recently collected. Of course, it also includes the crimes committed by some villains.”
In fact, Wei Yixiao had led the disciples of the Ming Cult's six sects, the Lightning Faction, to gather information from all over the martial world under Ling Yihan's orders and wrote down this list of crimes.
"Disciples of the Kongtong Sect, simple and direct! Xue Gongyuan, a disciple of the Huashan Sect! Ming Cult's disciple, Zhu Yuanzhang! Tang He! Deng Yu! Hua Yun! There were also the two brothers, Wu Liang and Wu Zhen! Bring them all out!" Ling Yihan stared at the list of crimes and said calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Ming Cult's Five Banner Division's disciples brought all the people Ling Yihan had just mentioned, tied up.
Ling Yihan stared at Jian Jie and Xue Gongyuan and said coldly,""Last month, there was a famine in Fengyang County. When the two of you passed by there, you fainted from hunger because you couldn't find food. You should be grateful and repay them for saving your lives. However, you were so crazy that you killed all four of their family members and cooked them. You guys deserve to die!"
After Jian Jie and Xue Gongyuan heard his words, they were so scared that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy,"Lord Alliance Leader, please spare my life! We had no choice! At that time, Fengyang County was in a famine for a few months. When we passed by there, we hadn't eaten rice for five or six days. We had been eating tree bark. Later, we couldn't stand the hunger anymore, so we had no choice but to do this!”
When Wei Bat King was gathering information, he didn't forget to look for evidence, so the two of them didn't deny it.
Before Ling Yihan could say anything, Zhang Songxi, the Four Heroes of Wudang Sect, stood up and said angrily,""A real man should be an indomitable man. Even if he were to starve to death, he would not do such a terrible thing. Moreover, he saved your lives. Your outrageous behavior is simply a disgrace to our righteous sects!”
The heroes of the other sects also voiced their criticisms, while the disciples of the Huashan Sect and the Kongtong Sect were ashamed and did not dare to make a sound.
Ling Yihan smiled faintly." Since everyone thinks that both of them deserve to die, I can't just sit back and do nothing." Since the two of them liked to eat people so much, then they should feel the feeling of being eaten! Men! He would chop the two of them into meat paste and throw them into the wilderness to feed the wolves!”
"Yes, sir! Alliance Master!" The disciples of the Ming Cult immediately dragged the two of them out to carry out their punishment.
At this moment, Ling Yihan turned to Zhu Yuanzhang and the rest and said,""You are all Ming Cult disciples. Do you know what your crimes are?”
Zhu Yuanzhang knelt on the ground and lowered his head."The few of us stole a cow from a councilor's house in Fengyang County and slaughtered it to eat! But later, they found out and said that they wanted to arrest us and report it to the officials! We might as well go all out and kill all the members of this official's family and burn the entire manor to the ground!”
When Ling Yihan heard this, he nodded and chided coldly,""You still know how to admit your mistakes. I can understand that you stole the official's cattle. After all, there's a famine and there's nothing to eat. But you actually killed and set fire! It's fine if you rob the rich and give to the poor. It's fine if you kill a rich and heartless councilor, but do the others in his residence, including the servants, also deserve to die? If everyone in the Ming Cult were to kill the innocent like you, how would we be different from the tyrannical imperial court? The hearts of the people had long been chilled, so why talk about expelling the Tartars and saving the people? Do you think I should die?"
Although he said this, he was actually looking for an excuse to execute Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had the ambition to become the emperor. How could he let this person live by his side?
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard him say this, it was obvious that he wanted to kill himself and his brothers. How could he be willing to die here? He quickly defended himself,"Cult Master, we were also out of helplessness! Those who achieve great things don't care about trifles. At most, we won't casually kill people in the future. How about atoning for our sins with merit?”
How could Ling Yihan let him off? He laughed coldly and said,""Zhu Yuanzhang, didn't the rules of our cult just be established a day or two ago? You've been in our Ming Cult for many years, do you want me to tell you one by one? A mistake was a mistake, and a right was a right. A man should be brave enough to bear the responsibility and face his mistakes! You have so many excuses, how are you worthy of being a member of my Ming Cult? Men, execute all six of them!”
When these words were said, not only were the various sects shocked, but even the Ming Cult disciples did not expect their cult master to actually target the disciples of their cult.
