The aftermath of the Sima Clan had yet to be settled, and Sima You was the first to bear the brunt of it.
After Sima You retreated, he met with Old Master Sima and said tearfully, "I am useless and have misjudged the situation. I have implicated the Sima Clan."
Old Master Sima was unmoved, "Since you know that you have implicated us, you should go and deal with it yourself. The clan will naturally deal with it for you."
He did not hesitate to hand him over.
Sima You did not panic. He kowtowed three times to Old Master Sima, then got people to tie him up and send him to the Abandoned Sword Villa to beg for forgiveness.
Shen Zhenyi saw Sima You and smiled lightly, "Young Master Sima, I haven't seen you in a long time. Why are you in such a sorry state?"
Wasn't it because of you that I was in such a sorry state?
Sima You was bitter, but he forced himself to say, "The winner takes all. I ask The Third Prince to deal with me."
He paused, then said, "But Young Master, don't forget that I am from the Life Extinguishing Hall."
Sima You's secret identity was unknown even to the Sima Clan. However, Shen Zhenyi had seen the battle between Lady Brahma and Lightning General at the Nine Schools Lake. He had also met Sima You by chance and knew about his relationship with Lady Brahma.
The Life Extinguishing Hall had fought with the beastmen for a thousand years. They could be considered an important force that protected the human race from the attacks of the beasts.
Shen Zhenyi was very polite to Lady Brahma. Not only did he not kill her, he even gave her pointers on her future martial arts. Later on, he sent his disciples to deal with the beasts. He was someone who protected the interests of the human race. Sima You did not expect Great Heavenly King Luo or Military Advisor Hei Ze to be able to protect his life. He only hoped that Shen Zhenyi would let him off on account of his identity as a member of the Life Extinguishing Hall.
This person was very decisive. He did not care about Sima You's background. If Sima You dared to use Great Heavenly King Luo or Military Advisor Hei Ze to threaten him, Shen Zhenyi might just kill him and leave the rest for later.
Shen Zhenyi pondered for a while and then asked, "That Great Heavenly King Luo has joined the Hall of Life Extinguishing?"
Although he never left the house, he knew what was going on in the outside world like the back of his hand. The Sima Clan had suddenly turned out in full force to deal with the Abandoned Sword Villa under the instructions of the Great Heavenly King Luo. And Sima You had stepped forward, which meant that he had a special relationship with the Great Heavenly King Luo. It was very possible that the Great Heavenly King Luo had joined the Hall of Life Extinguishing.
Sima You was stunned, but he didn't dare to lie. He shook his head and said, "The Heavenly Emperor has yet to enter."
The Great Heavenly King Luo was arrogant, domineering, and ruthless. It was difficult for the Hall of Life Extermination to recruit him.
"Then it must be the other person behind you."
Shen Zhenyi nodded slightly and asked casually, "Then may I ask, Young Master Sima, why did you lead your men to attack the Abandoned Sword Villa when we have no enmity?"
Now that things had come to this, it was better to ask him directly.
Shen Zhenyi and Sima You had met by chance. Although he didn't give him any face, he had helped him out a few times. At the Nine School Lake, he had let him go, but he had always harbored evil intentions.
Sima You wanted to deny that he had no choice but to accept the order. But when he saw Shen Zhenyi's eyes, he suddenly felt guilty. He couldn't help but say, "The Third Prince's sword skills are exceptional. I'm afraid that he will be a big variable. Now that the storm is brewing in King City, everyone wants to reduce the variables to the minimum. Even the Hall of Life Extinguishing … feels that the Young Master's potential is too terrifying."
Now that the storm was brewing in King City, the beast people's plan was getting closer and closer. The Hall of Life Extinguishing was tit for tat and beat them at their own game. Everyone had their own plans.
Shen Zhenyi's appearance made both sides uncertain. Both sides were ruthless people who only wanted to get rid of their opponents to prevent accidents.
"Then what about the Great Heavenly King Luo?"
Shen Zhenyi nodded slightly. This was more or less what he expected. But the Great Heavenly King Luo didn't join the Hall of Life Extinguishing, so why did he suppress him from the start?
Sima You smiled bitterly. "Great Heavenly King Luo is doing this for his own benefit. The Third Prince massacred the seven big sects in the outer city, which made his backer very dissatisfied. Heavenly King Luo has been restless these few years. He wants to unify the nine sects and twelve families. He wants to use the power of these sects to push himself to the position of the sixth elder in the inner city, but he is afraid that the Young Master will ruin it. With a little instigation, he wants to kill. "
Shen Zhenyi had offended a few sects in the inner city. Great Heavenly King Luo wanted to be their leader, so he naturally had to stand up for them. Shen Zhenyi's sword skills were strange and his potential was endless. Great Heavenly King Luo was afraid that something would happen before the Alliance Meet in the inner city, so he wanted to stop the Abandoned Sword Villa. He didn't even hesitate to kill.
"I see."
Shen Zhenyi was dispirited. He had no interest in this kind of power struggle. He shook his head and said, "Take this person away first."
He didn't want to kill Sima You, so he found a place to lock him up first.
A few disciples of the Abandoned Sword Villa were so angry that they suggested Shen Zhenyi to eliminate the root of the problem. Shen Zhenyi just smiled and didn't answer.
First of all, the other party must be a tiger.
They were just ants and dust. What difference did it make whether they were dead or not?
Cynanchum Chinense asked curiously, "Great Heavenly King Luo wants to be the sixth elder, what does this mean?"
Princess Long had recently inquired about the situation in the inner city. She replied, "King City originally had a City Lord and five elders. They control the power of King City and can be said to be the real core of the city. Great Heavenly King Luo rose from the bottom in recent years. His cultivation has reached the fifth level of the True God Realm, and he has the qualifications to be the sixth elder. It's just that his power is far inferior to the five elders, so he hasn't been able to advance further. "
In order to be able to become an elder, he wanted to unite the nine sects and twelve families of the inner city. He even wanted to merge with the Heavenly King Association. This would greatly increase his power, and the elders wouldn't be able to stop him from joining.
Cynanchum Chinense frowned, "Those nine sects and twelve families, are they willing to obey him?"
These old fogeys would rather be a chicken's mouth than a cow's mouth. Even if Great Heavenly King Luo's power was outstanding, they might not be convinced.
Princess Long sighed, "Then what else can we do? Can't we just kill them?"
Those who disobeyed would be killed, and a new order would be created with blood. This was the same everywhere. Behind the veil of warmth, there would always be the fangs of slaughter.
Shen Zhenyi was impatient. The Sima Clan's matter had come to an end, and Liang Ying, who was being chased by the Sima Clan, should be safe for the time being. He asked Cynanchum Chinense to call Liang Ying over and asked her, "What plans do you have for the future? Do you have anywhere to go?"
Qinghui Sect had been destroyed. Although Liang Ying was the successor, she couldn't go back.
This person had no relations with the Abandoned Sword Villa, and they even had some conflicts. It would be awkward for her to stay here, so Liang Ying answered, "My father was a deacon of Mount Liufen. Although he has passed away, my mother is still alive. I will go back to Mount Liufen."
Mount Liufen was one of the nine sects and twelve families, so Liang Ying felt that it was a good place to go.
Hearing the three words Mount Liufen, Shen Zhenyi opened his eyes and asked, "The so-called Mount Liufen is the tomb of the three lords of Bamboo, Flower, and Snow, as well as the three evils of Nu, Chou, and Po. They were buried in Mount Meng, right?"
