There were twenty to thirty people gathered in front of an inn.
Such a huge commotion was naturally difficult to hide. Soon, there were many more onlookers nearby.
"Aren't they from the Qingcheng Sect and the Huashan Sect? What happened?"
"The Huashan Sect came late and didn't have a place to stay. The only inn that was free was booked by the Qingcheng Sect. This time, we can't reach an agreement.”
"This is secondary! The most important thing was the Huashan Sect's current status. They had submitted to the imperial court and become its lackeys…Do you see the young master in the middle? He was the Ninth Prince of Emperor Ming!”
"I see!"
"It seems that the imperial court is going to make a move against the Qingcheng Monastery?”
"You really know how to pick a place. Now that more than half of the sects in the martial world have gathered in Hengyang City, what are you thinking?”
"He should be fearless. That ninth prince seems to have a martial grandmaster protecting him!”
……
Yu Canghai looked at Lin Yuantu with an ugly expression.
With a martial grandmaster on the other side, it was definitely impossible for them to fight head-on.
However, he couldn't just admit defeat in public. After all, there were too many onlookers. If he just admitted defeat, the reputation of the Qingcheng Monastery would be ruined in the future.
His eyes darted around wildly, and he suddenly thought of a plan.
Then, he put on an indignant expression and said to Zhu Hao and the others,"My Qingcheng Monastery arrived at this inn first and paid for it. Even if you are from the imperial court, you can't bully us like this, right?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding onlookers began to point and gossip. Their eyes were filled with disgust and indignation, as if they had also been bullied by the imperial court.
Seeing this, the corners of Yu Canghai's mouth curled up imperceptibly.
Lin Yuantu raised his eyebrows when he heard that. How could he not see through his thoughts?
However, if they were to forcefully take action now, it would be a testament to the imperial court's reputation of bullying others!
It would inevitably affect their plans to subdue the various large sects in the future.
He did not know what to do and could only look at Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao's eyes turned and looked at the sky, saying,""The sun is about to set. Don't waste time!”
Then, he looked at the lake not far away and said indifferently,"The Qingcheng Sect has rebelled against their superiors and has disloyal intentions. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, they should implicate nine families and exterminate their entire sect!”
"Leave no one alive!"
Lin Yuantu was slightly startled when he heard that, but he immediately understood what Zhu Hao meant.
"Yes!" He bowed his head and cupped his hands.
Then, he raised his head, and his eyes flickered with cold killing intent. He looked straight at Yu Canghai and said,"Congratulations, you have a way to die!"
Yu Canghai felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He stuttered,"What…what are you doing?"
"Don't worry! A trash like you isn't worth me personally taking action!”Lin Yuantu chuckled and turned to instruct,""Deputy Commander Yue, I'll leave it to you!”
"Leave it to me?"”
"What? You can't do it?" Lin Yuantu looked at him with a faint smile.
Yue Buqun's heart tightened, realizing that Lin Yuantu wanted him to surrender.
As long as he killed the Qingcheng Sect's people in public, then in the eyes of the people in the martial world, the Huashan Sect would be completely tied to the imperial court, and there would be no way out.
"Understood!" He cupped his hands and said.
Lin Yuantu nodded in satisfaction.
Clang!
Long sword unsheathed, Yue Buqun's body turned into afterimages, charging into the crowd.
Those Qingcheng Monastery disciples had already been scared by Lin Yuantu to the point of losing their will to fight. Now, under Yue Buqun's sword, they were like children, unable to resist and were killed one by one.
"Spare us, we know we were wrong…"
"Let us go. We are willing to submit to the Imperial Court…"
"Don't kill me!"
The disciples of the Green City had long lost their color. They knelt down and begged for mercy, trying to save their lives.
Unfortunately, Zhu Hao did not speak, Yue Buqun naturally did not dare to stop.
The snow-white sword lights connected together, and the people of the Qingcheng Sect fell to the ground.
In the end, only Yu Canghai remained!
"Yue Buqun…you…you'll get your retribution sooner or later!”Yu Canghai knew that there was no way to escape, so he roared with all his might.
Hearing this, Yue Buqun's mouth curled up, glancing imperceptibly at Zhu Hao's figure, he suddenly raised his voice and said righteously: "It is a great fortune for my Huashan Sect to be under the Ninth Prince!”
"A traitor like you deserves to die!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the True Qi of the Purple Cloud Divine Art condensed at the tip of the sword and stabbed straight forward.
It broke through all of Yu Canghai's defenses and pierced his chest.
Whoosh!
The crowd was in an uproar.
"The imperial court actually dared to kill the Qingcheng Monastery directly. Aren't they afraid of chaos in the martial world?”
"In the past, the imperial court had also sent imperial envoys to negotiate with the martial world, but they were always polite and kind. They didn't even dare to speak loudly, but now…could it be that the imperial court is serious this time?”
"Go back quickly and report this to the sect master. I have a feeling that something big is going to happen in the martial arts world this time!”
"Six Fan School and the Ninth Prince…They are really ruthless. They killed so many people just like that!”
"Tsk, tsk. The Qingcheng Monastery is considered an old faction in the martial arts world. I didn't expect that it would be completely annihilated by the people of the imperial court here!”
"These people from the Imperial Court are acting so domineering on their first day in the city. What are they trying to do?”
"Looks like there's going to be a good show in this Golden Basin Washing Hands Assembly!”
" Why…" Yu Canghai looked at Yue Buqun in confusion, as if he still couldn't understand why these people from the imperial court would kill him so decisively.
Clang!
Yue Buqun pulled out his sword and looked at Yu Canghai who was slowly falling to the ground: "Don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not making the right choice!”
He couldn't help but feel lucky.
Fortunately, back on Mount Hua, he had decisively chosen to submit.
If not, the Huashan Sect's ending would not be any better than the Qingcheng Sect.
The Ninth Prince really wouldn't mind killing more people!
……
At this point, all the disciples of the Qingcheng Sect, including the Sect Leader, were dead.
Although there were still some surviving disciples and elders guarding the mountain gate, in the Jianghu, this sect was no different from being destroyed.
After letting his subordinates clean up the mess, Zhu Hao and his group finally settled in.
The surrounding onlookers dispersed one after another. When they left, they all had complicated expressions on their faces.
Some people felt heavy, some were dissatisfied, and some scoffed…
However, everyone remembered the words " Six Fan School " and " Ninth Prince " in their hearts.
Hengyang City, in a certain restaurant.
Almost all the higher-ups of the Five Mountain Sword Sect were present, and there were also some sect leaders of other small sects.
"I think everyone has heard about what happened to the Qingcheng Monastery today!”
The one who spoke first was Zuo Lengchan, the Sect Leader of Mount Song Sect, who was currently the leader of the Five Mountain Sword Sect!
"The Imperial Court has been mediating with us for many years, but we didn't expect them to suddenly act so ruthlessly.”
"Is there a need to ask? Kill the chicken to warn the monkeys…"
