Cloudsword Sect, Clear Cloud Pavilion.
The night was deep outside, but inside the Clear Cloud Pavilion, the candles were brightly lit. The Cloudsword Sect's Sect Master, Yun Canglong, sat on the main seat. Below him was his son, Yunfei. Below them were the three elders.
They had just received a secret report that the Sect Master of the Six Directional Fist Sect, Jin Zeshan, had personally led 200 elite disciples to attack Gao Zhengyang during the night.
The Cloudsword Sect had a deep foundation in Beijiang City, and there were many of their own people in the Six Directional Fist Sect. Two of them had high statuses. This time, it was an urgent message from his own people.
This was a very important matter, so Yun Canglong quickly gathered everyone for a meeting.
"This is no small matter. We can't just interfere."
The First Elder stroked his snow-white beard and said in an experienced and prudent manner: "This is, after all, a grievance between the Six Directional Fist School and Gao Zhengyang. Once we make a move, we'll be openly making an enemy of the Six Directional Fist Sect. We can't do that. "
The Second Elder also nodded in agreement. "That's right. If we were to make a move on this matter, it wouldn't be justifiable."
After a pause, he continued, "Besides, doesn't Gao Zhengyang have the All-Seeing Divine Power? If he can't even beat Jin Zeshan, wouldn't that be a joke?"
Yun Canglong nodded. That was right. It was not difficult to kill Jin Zeshan. The difficult part was how to deal with the Towering Heaven Martial Saint behind him.
Paying respect to Gao Zhengyang was because they wanted to borrow his strength to fight against the Towering Sky Martial Saint. If he couldn't even get past Jin Ze Mountain, then he was useless.
Yunfei could not help but frown as he listened to the old men's words. He only wanted to take advantage of others and hide at the side when something happened. Such a lack of responsibility would only make others look down on him. Moreover, Yun Xi was still at Gao Zhengyang's house.
What if something happened to him when he was blocked by the people of the Six Directional Fist Sect?
Yunfei sighed in his heart, feeling that his father was really getting old. This kind of thing needed to be discussed in a meeting. Once they received the news, they should have immediately dispatched experts. Even if they didn't care about Gao Zhengyang's life or death, they should at least bring Yun Xi back.
But he hesitated again and again, and still did not speak. Although he was the son of the first wife, and was clearly designated as the next Sect Master, he was still a Sect Master. There were some words that were not suitable to be said.
Otherwise, his father would inevitably overthink things and think that he couldn't wait to seize power.
Just as Yunfei was feeling depressed, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps. Turning around, he saw Yun Xi hurriedly walking in.
He was surprised at first, then delighted. "You've returned!"
Yun Xi smiled at Yun Fei before greeting Yun Canglong, "Your daughter pays her respects to father."
Yun Canglong was somewhat surprised, but he revealed a joyful expression. "It's good that you're back. The Six Directional Fist Sect wants to attack Gao Zhengyang. I sent someone to pick you up. Did you meet them?"
Yun Canglong was quite fond of his daughter. Before the meeting, they had already sent experts to pick them up. He didn't expect Yun Xi to come back so quickly. From the looks of it, he came back on his own. His forehead was covered in sweat.
Yun Xi shook her head and said, "I didn't meet the people you sent. Something big happened. That's why I rushed back. "
The Great Elder interrupted, "What's going on over there? What happened? Tell us quickly …"
Yun Xi's expression was grave as she said, "Jin Zeshan was killed, and two other elders were also killed."
"What?"
The First Elder cried out involuntarily in disbelief, "Is what you said true? Did you see it with your own eyes? "
The others were also shocked. Including Yun Canglong. Although he didn't lose his composure like the First Elder, he stared at Yun Xi with unerasable nervousness on his face.
Jin Zeshan was the Sect Master of the Six Directional Fist Sect. If he was killed, it would definitely cause a huge uproar. If it wasn't handled well, even the Cloudsword Sect would be implicated.
However, the destruction of the Six Directional Fist Sect was a huge opportunity for the Cloudsword Sect. Most importantly, was this news accurate?
"I didn't see it …"
Yun Xi shook her head. "Little Seven told me."
"Little Seven?"
Yun Fei was also shocked. "Didn't Gao Zhengyang do anything?"
Yun Xi nodded. "I accompanied Gao Zhengyang to play chess in the room. Little Seven went out alone and came back in less than a hundred breaths. She said that she killed an old man with five golden sabers on his chest. "
"Little Seven is that girl who broke through three realms in one night, right?"
Yun Canglong was confused. "She can kill Jin Zeshan? Furthermore, there were 200 elite disciples! "
"That's her."
Yun Xi shook her head. "When I went out, I saw a lot of blood on the ground. The corpses were all taken away. "
Yun Canglong and the other Elders exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion and shock. They all knew about Little Seven.
However, even if Little Seven was a genius in martial arts, it was impossible for her to reach Body Tempering Realm in such a short time. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if he was a consummate Body Refinement Realm cultivator, how could he block two hundred elite warriors by himself and kill Jin Zeshan on the spot?
Even a Connate Martial Saint might not be able to do that.
This matter was too bizarre, and Yun Canglong and the others couldn't believe it. Thus, when Yun Xi finished speaking, everyone was speechless.
Yun Xi didn't see it with her own eyes, so she didn't have much confidence. She had only come back to inform them. She wouldn't give them any ideas on what to do.
"Father, the most important thing now is to get accurate information. We should contact them and confirm the exact situation … "
Seeing that no one spoke, Yun Fei couldn't help but suggest. No matter what they did, it was better than sitting here in a daze.
Yun Canglong glanced at Yun Fei and said indifferently, "If Jin Zeshan is really dead, and so many people saw it, the news definitely won't be hidden. Our people aren't fools, and they will definitely report this matter immediately. Just wait patiently … "
"Blood Arrow Emergency Report …"
A disciple shouted from outside and quickly ran in. He handed a bloodied arrow to Yun Canglong.
Yun Canglong twisted the arrow's tail and took out a piece of paper. He looked at it with a complicated expression before handing it to Yun Fei.
Yun Fei opened the paper eagerly, and there was only one line written on it: Jin Zeshan is dead. The Disciplinary Elder and Guardian Elder are dead.
"It's actually true …"
Yun Fei was also stunned. Although he had heard the news from Yun Xi earlier, he was even more shocked now.
It was still understandable if it was Gao Zhengyang who did it, but it was clearly Little Seven who did it. Just ten days ago, Little Seven was just an ignorant mountain girl at the third-layer of the Body Tempering Realm.
But now, Little Seven could destroy Jin Zeshan with a flip of her palm, as if she was killing an ant.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Yun Fei would never have believed it. But it was also because he personally witnessed Little Seven's growth that Yun Fei felt like he was about to collapse.
His life, his understanding of the world, were all destroyed by this little girl.
After the elders read the note, none of them laughed out loud.
The Six Directional Fist Sect was destroyed, but North River City had a Gao Zhengyang. Even if Gao Zhengyang didn't care about North River City, what about Little Seven?
The Cloudsword Sect originally thought that they had the advantage in numbers, and with their deep foundation, they could make use of Gao Zhengyang. Now, they suddenly realized that Little Seven alone could destroy all of them.
It was like a sheep trying to make use of a tiger. It was courting death. The so-called use had become a joke.
The Clear Cloud Pavilion fell into a deathly silence once again.
After an unknown period of time, Yun Canglong stood up and said with a solemn expression, "It would be rude of me not to pay my respects to such a peerless genius like Mister Gao.
Wouldn't it be a little rude to go now? "
The First Elder was a little worried. If he didn't pay his respects now and rushed over after Jin Zeshan was killed, wouldn't it be too utilitarian? He would be looked down upon. Thus, he tactfully reminded Yun Canglong not to be anxious.
Yun Canglong naturally understood. He smiled bitterly and said, "What kind of person is Mister Gao? Why would he care about such etiquette?"
Although he hadn't met Gao Zhengyang, he could tell from the other party's actions. What Six Directional Fist Sect, Jin Zeshan, and the others? They weren't even worthy of his attention. He just used a little disciple to deal with them.
Although the Cloudsword Sect was slightly stronger than the Six Directional Fist Sect, the difference wasn't huge. In Gao Zhengyang's eyes, how high could they be? Pretending to be reserved or bowing to him, the other party probably wouldn't care.
Rather than that, it was better to be honest. He could also probe Gao Zhengyang's intentions. His attitude would also determine how the Cloudsword Sect would handle this matter.
Yun Canglong brought Yun Fei and Yun Xi and quickly arrived at the residence. He didn't dare to enter rashly, so he sent Yun Xi in first.
Yun Xi was also a smart girl. She respectfully found Gao Zhengyang and told him that her father wanted to meet him. Xiao Qi's rapid progress made her even more determined to become his disciple. His attitude towards Gao Zhengyang had also become more sincere and respectful.
Gao Zhengyang wasn't asleep yet. He wasn't interested in Yun Canglong. However, he had to deal with the Cloudsword Sect if he stayed here. It was better to make things clear so that these people wouldn't make wild guesses and cause unnecessary trouble.
When Yun Canglong entered and saw Gao Zhengyang, he was shocked. This person was like a blazing sun in the sky, domineering and majestic. Compared to him, the Martial Sages he had seen before were simply ordinary.
He hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed deeply, his head almost touching the ground. His posture was unusually low.
"Sect Master Yun, there's no need to be so polite. Please take a seat."
Gao Zhengyang didn't find Yun Canglong's humble posture funny. Yun Canglong was a smart person who knew how to respect power.
Yun Canglong sat down in fear and apologized repeatedly, saying that he was too careless and didn't come to visit immediately. He also said that he had prepared many gifts to express his sincerity.
Gao Zhengyang didn't stand on ceremony and said calmly, "Thank you, Sect Master Yun."
Yun Canglong hesitated for a moment and asked carefully, "Mister Gao, how do you want to deal with the Six Directional Fist Sect?"
Gao Zhengyang smiled. "Deal with what? The Six Directional Fist Sect, Beijiang City, and that Martial Sage Lingtian are just toys for Xiao Qi. "
Yun Canglong was stunned, and the words he had prepared were stuck in his throat. Gao Zhengyang's words, he could not continue, could not continue …
The next day, the news of the Six Directional Fist Sect's Sect Master and two elders being killed spread throughout Beijiang City. Beijiang City, which had been peaceful for a long time, was boiling.
The only remaining elder of the Six Directional Fist Sect left North River City and went to Ling Tian City that night.
Without a leader, the tens of thousands of disciples of the Six Directional Fist Sect were in chaos. The Six Directional Fist Sect controlled many large businesses in Beijiang City, such as freight and restaurants. Everyone was panicking, and these businesses were also affected. It even affected the normal life of Beijiang City.
At the critical moment, the Cloud Sword Sect and the Wind Chasing Arrow Sect stood up together and gathered the Six Directional Fist Sect disciples, stabilizing the situation in Beijiang City.
From that day onwards, Beijiang City became ruled by the Cloud Sword Sect and the Wind Chasing Arrow Sect.
Half a month later, a huge warship sailed into the dock of Beijiang City. The warship had a golden flag with two words embroidered on it: Lingtian.
Yun Xi and Xiao Qi, who had received the news, stood on the shore and watched.
"What a huge ship and so many people. I wonder if anyone can fight?"
