"Ancestral teaching! Ancestral teaching! "
Wang Changfeng shrieked, "How can I, Wang Changfeng, face the Ma-i Sect's ancestors in the underworld?"
Suddenly, he charged towards Yun Yang and roared, "Supreme Cloud, this old man hands this life of mine to you. If you have the guts, come with me!"
Before his words echoed in the air, he charged into the clouds and self-destructed.
With a loud boom, flesh and blood splattered everywhere.
Wang Changfeng had turned into a cloud of blood mist. He was dead, his body and soul destroyed.
After the explosion, a cloud of mist formed in the wind. Yun Yang's saber glinted with a crimson gleam once more. "Is there anyone else who wants to take me away? Why not try? It'll save me a lot of trouble! "
Ge Zuheng heaved a long sigh and committed suicide, following in Wang Changfeng's footsteps.
…
About the time it took to brew two cups of tea had passed.
A total of one hundred and thirty-six people from the Ma-i Sect had perished. The sect had been annihilated, with no survivors left!
Blood dyed the ground red, converging into rivers of blood.
Yun Yang and the Ten Yama Kings left quietly, leaving a mess on the ground that was left uncleaned.
A stone tablet stood there majestically.
"One hundred and thirty-six people from the Ma-i Sect have been slain here. The Ma-i Sect has disobeyed the ancestral teaching and intervened in the war between two empires. Yutang's warriors hate them!
Yutang's Supreme Cloud has struck today to annihilate their sect and their people. Those who offend Yutang shall be punished no matter how far away they are! "
There were some introductions at the bottom, detailing the beginning and end of the incident clearly.
It was signed, "Yutang's Supreme Cloud has erected this tablet to pay tribute to the loyal souls, to pacify the people, to warn the world, to warn the martial world!"
This line of inscription was filled with murderous intent!
His tone was even more arrogant. However, everyone who saw this stone tablet did not think that it was arrogant at all.
It was as if everything that had happened was a matter of course.
Anyone who saw this stone tablet couldn't help but be shocked.
The stone tablet stood tall, facing the morning sun. The stench of blood that lingered for dozens of miles, lingering for a long time.
Not long after, passersby finally passed by. When they saw the inscription on the stone tablet, their hearts raced and their hair stood on end.
Then, thunderous cheers followed, filled with endless relief.
"It's Lord Supreme Cloud!"
"This is Lord Supreme Cloud avenging our soldiers!"
"All hail Lord Supreme Cloud!"
"With Lord Supreme Cloud here, let's see who in this world dares to look Yutang in the eye!"
…
In Tiantang City.
Following Yun Xiaoyao's command, the military and the government worked together to seal off the entire east side of the city.
This time, the strength of the blockade was unprecedentedly high. It wasn't just a piece of paper. It wasn't just a simple action, but all the civilians who could be moved out of the eastern part of the city.
"The Empire of Yutang has decreed that the emperor has no intention of interfering in the martial world's affairs, but the martial world strictly forbids the slaughter of Yutang's people. The east side of the city was temporarily unguarded. Only the east side of the city, and only for seven days. "
"Seven days later, martial artists who have entered Yutang are to leave on their own. Those who stay beyond the time limit will be considered to have violated Yutang's laws and will be punished severely."
"Within this unique period of time, Yutang officials will collect the bodies of those martial artists who have unfortunately passed away and send their remains back to their homes, returning them to their roots. As long as there are valuables, you must not touch them! "
"If there are any violators, Yutang shall hunt them down with all its might without mercy."
…
The officials issued an official statement, clearly expressing Yutang's imperial court's attitude. "Fight all you want, we know we can't stop you. We might as well designate a place for you to play in the east side of the city."
"We've actually made rules to allow all of you to have fun. This is already giving you face." "Under such circumstances, if the rules were to be broken, there would be no room for discussion and no one would be able to play anymore!"
"We respect you all, so we'll set aside a place for you. If you all respect us as well, we'll take care of the aftermath no matter who dies. When you die, your belongings will be sent to your home as well."
"However, if you don't respect us …"
Once the edict was announced, the martial artists who had entered Tiantang City seemed to scoff at it on the surface, but in the midst of battle, they had all obeyed it, whether intentionally or not.
Even those who had always been mysterious still chose to wear things that represented their identity and origins on their bodies.
They were all sensible people. They thought that they were the chosen ones, the lucky ones, the ones who obtained the dragon hide secret tome this time. With so many pinnacle experts gathered here, accidents could easily happen. No matter how high their cultivation base was, there was no guarantee that no accidents would happen!
Since Yutang's officials had promised to take care of the aftermath, they would definitely do it. This was much more reliable than the usual martial world promises. After all, no one could guarantee that they would not lose their lives here.
However, since the officials had made such a promise, they would definitely do it.
If they could not do it, or even if they did not do it properly and caused others to criticize them, it would mean that the promise to the world's heroes had failed. It would be a severe blow to Yutang's official reputation.
Of course, the assassins were unwilling. Were they not pushing them to the edge of a cliff by doing so?
What would they do if the civilians were to be moved out?
Therefore, they were doing everything they could to stop Yutang's officials from moving.
However, all the martial artists had seized this opportunity as well. "If you want to stop the migration, of course, you have to show yourselves. Then, we'll follow the migrating army. If you come out to stop us, we'll set up a trap to kill you! "
Yutang's official experts, led by Yun Xiaoyao, were here as well. If the assassins appeared to stop the migration, they would be attacked by both Yutang's officials and the martial world's experts.
After more than a dozen clashes, the assassins suffered heavy losses and finally gave up on the plan.
Yutang's officials followed the rules as well. "If you don't stop the migration, we won't do anything." As a result, the assassins actually felt the pressure on them lighten considerably.
After all, Yutang's officials were the local tyrants; they were all too familiar with the terrain.
If the assassins did not move, the martial world's people would not move either.
"You have to conserve your energy, we have to wait for more people to come as well."
Secretly, there were quite a number of people who were guiding the martial world's actions.
Everyone felt that it was extremely reasonable.
"No matter what, this dragon hide treasure map must not be left in the assassins' hands. They're too powerful. Once they break out, they won't be able to get it back. "
"Therefore, we have to work together and annihilate the assassins first. Snatching the treasure map is the best plan. "
"Once we snatch it in the future, we'll just do what we can."
"…"
Everyone felt that it was all very reasonable.
Therefore, Yun Xiaoyao would send people in to collect the corpses every once in a while. All the members were ordinary soldiers. A few thousand of them went in at once to search for the corpses along the way. The countless ace cultivators in the entire eastern district turned a blind eye to them, as if they did not see them. No one even laid a finger on these ordinary soldiers.
Even when they greeted them occasionally, it was done out of goodwill. Those who were rich would even give some money to express their gratitude. The underlying meaning was, "Brother, if you find me lying here one day, please put in more effort on account of the money I've given you today." "Take care of those broken arms and legs for your brother …"
