The entire place was silent until Xing Fa said in a low voice, "This massacre was not my intention. However, my Seventh Junior Brother killed Lan Xuyan in a fair fight to the death. Those who want to break the rules of the fight and seek revenge afterward can only die!
"Not only that, we will also investigate the sects and empires of the perpetrators, including the origins of these killers. This matter … is not over yet!"
After Xing Fa finished speaking, he turned his gaze to where the Taiwu Empire, Ninesuns Sect, and the others were, causing the hearts of those forces to turn even colder.
In the Ninesuns Sect, one of Lan Xuyan's senior brothers mustered up his courage, took two steps forward, and said to Xing Fa sternly, "One should bear the consequences of his own actions. This matter is entirely Lan Xuyan and his Master's fault. No one else can be blamed. You can't blame this on the Ninesuns Sect! "
"Is that so? However, isn't Lan Xuyan a member of your Ninesuns Sect? "
Xing Fa's eyes flashed red as he looked at that person.
"This, I can go back and report to the sect, and let the sect elders announce that Lan Xuyan and his Master are expelled from the Ninesuns Sect. Do you think this is feasible?"
That person was frightened by Xing Fa, and could not help but take two steps back. Then, he said with a trembling voice.
"Not enough."
Xing Fa said coldly, "I heard that Lan Xuyan still has many personal senior brothers, and they may also be related to this matter!"
Hearing this, that person said cautiously, "Then what if we expel Lan Xuyan's faction from the Ninesuns Sect?"
"Kill them, leave no one alive, and the Ninesuns Sect will be safe."
Xing couldn't be bothered to beat around the bush, so he went straight to the point. His request made the man swallow his saliva.
Let their own people kill their own people? That was a little too much!
However, Xing Fa was standing in front of him, and he did not dare to not lower his head. He could only say, "In that case, I can only go back and discuss with the sect elders. I can't give you an answer for now."
"In three days, I will wait for your Ninesuns Sect's answer."
Xing Fa said coldly.
"The same goes for our Taiwu Empire."
On the Taiwu Empire's side, someone mustered up the courage to stand up and say, "There is only one person who broke the agreement and attacked. The others have nothing to do with this matter. That person is already dead, and the Taiwu Empire will not accept any investigation!"
"You're different from the Ninesuns Sect."
Dao Jingtian, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, "After all, you're not a sect, but an empire. The person who died must have a huge family in your empire! How can you be so sure that the members of that family are not involved in this matter? It's very likely that these assassins were all hired by that family! "
The man from the Taiwu Empire was stunned. Indeed, empires and sects were different.
As for the Ninesuns Sect, it was enough to expel Lan Xuyan and his Master's faction from the sect. There were only a dozen or so people in the sect, and they could cut ties with them. However, the Taiwu Empire could not! This was because the bamboo hat middle-aged man's family still existed in the Taiwu Empire.
How powerful was a big family in the empire?
This big family had at least a thousand people!
"Within three days, I want to see the Taiwu Empire's sincerity. Otherwise, don't blame us for investigating personally."
Dao Jingtian said lightly, but everyone could hear the threat in his tone.
"Yes, we'll definitely report to the Taiwu Emperor when we return!"
The man from the Taiwu Empire nodded quickly and led the crowd away. There were only three days left to deal with this matter, and they had to hurry up.
Obviously, Dao Jingtian's words were, in fact, a way to give the Taiwu Empire a way out.
In fact, Xing Fa, Dao Jingtian, and the others all knew that this matter might have been planned by the Taiwu Empire. However, the Taiwu Empire was one of the Six Sects and Ten Kingdoms, and it was quite troublesome to deal with. It would take at least a year and a half to settle.
The Conference of Divine Martial Emperors was about to begin, and now the Alliance of Five Emperors did not have the energy to deal with the entire Taiwu Empire.
In this case, it was better to narrow the scope. As long as all the families of the troublemakers were wiped out, this matter could be considered to have come to an end.
In fact, Dao Jingtian did not even need to do it himself. He believed that under such a threat, the upper echelons of the Taiwu Empire would definitely deal with the matter beautifully and uproot the family from the Taiwu Empire.
Long Yu stood quietly at the side, watching Xing Fa and Dao Jingtian deal with this matter. He had to admit that he had truly witnessed the means of his two senior brothers.
Not only were they strong, but they were also very wise.
Today's matter wasn't enough to destroy the Ninesuns Sect or the Taiwu Empire, but if they wanted to display the might of the Five Emperors and the Five Emperors' Holy City, they definitely had to deal with a group of people.
This group of people was commonly known as sacrifices and cannon fodder.
In the Ninesuns Sect, Lan Xuyan and his Master's faction were cannon fodder. It was conceivable that the others in the Ninesuns Sect would be very dissatisfied with the two of them for causing such a big trouble. It would not be too difficult to expel them from the Ninesuns Sect.
In the Ninesuns Sect, there were also factions fighting. Now that Lan Xuyan's faction was wiped out, it was also good for the others. In fact, the Ninesuns Sect only had to consider the issue of the sect's reputation.
Was it right to bow down to Xing Fa like this?
At the very least, they had to bow down to the Red Emperor!
No one would say anything if they bowed down to the Five Emperors, but if they bowed down to Xing Fa, the meaning was different.
As for Dao Jingtian's method of dealing with the Taiwu Empire, it was the same. If Xing Fa ordered the Taiwu Emperor to wipe out a large family in the empire with just a word, where would the dignity of the Taiwu Emperor be?
The only one who could give such an order was the Five Emperors!
Xing Fa and Dao Jingtian were also aware of this, but their words could almost completely represent the Red Emperor. The two of them were not worried that the Ninesuns Sect and the Taiwu Empire would not obey.
Within three days, the Ninesuns Sect and the Taiwu Empire would send news. They believed that it would not disappoint!
Long Yu thought that Xing Fa and Dao Jingtian's handling of this matter was quite good. They had considered all aspects, and it was clear that their intelligence was not low.
However, Long Yu was not satisfied with this.
The Ninesuns Sect and the Taiwu Empire had been dealt with, but there were still other forces present!
Just from what Long Yu saw, there were the Qin Clan, the Gongsun Clan, and the Watermoon Sword Sect. There was no doubt that they were all eyeing him covetously!
Long Yu did not want to be targeted at all times. Although he had a way to escape, who would want to be hunted down?
Therefore, he had to settle this once and for all!
After the people from the Taiwu Empire and the Ninesuns Sect left, Long Yu stood up and looked around. He first cast his gaze in the direction where the people from the Qin Clan were, and then at the Qin Clan Patriarch, Qin Zhang Yue.
Just now, Qin Chang Yue had led the Qin Clan's people to bully Qin Ya Shuang and Zi Su. Of course, Long Yu had felt it!
This old fellow had not given up on his evil intentions. He had always wanted to use Qin Ya Shuang to seduce Lan Xuyan.
Long Yu originally thought that his previous visit to the Qin Clan had made this person understand the situation. He did not expect that this Qin Chang Yue would still be so stubborn.
Such a fellow, Long Yu had to teach him a lesson!
"Qin Chang Yue."
Long Yu looked at Qin Chang Yue and called out his name.
This gave Qin Chang Yue a fright.
The current Qin Chang Yue did not dare to say anything to Qin Ya Shuang and the others. He could not wait to leave! What had happened in such a short period of time had left him dumbfounded!
Long Yu had killed Lan Xuyan!
Long Yu's senior brothers had joined forces to kill more than ten Late-stage Martial Emperors!
Qin Chang Yue had yet to recover from this shocking scene and Long Yu had called out his name. How could he not be shocked?
"Yes … yes."
Qin Chang Yue hurriedly bowed his head respectfully. Of course, with his character, it was not because of Long Yu, but because of Xing Fa and Dao Jingtian's presence.
If not for Xing Fa and Dao Jingtian's appearance, Qin Chang Yue would have been kneeling and licking the soles of Ninesuns Sect's shoes.
"I, Long Yu, challenge Qin Chang Yue to a battle of life and death! The time will be after the Martial God Conference. Do you dare? "
Long Yu stared straight at Qin Chang Yue as he asked.
Qin Chang Yue was an Early-stage Martial Emperor. He was considered weak amongst Martial Emperors. That was why the Qin Clan was only a small clan in the Holy City of the Five Emperors.
But no matter what, he was still an Early-stage Martial Emperor. He had already comprehended some deduction abilities!
Martial Emperors with deduction abilities were definitely much stronger than the current Lan Xuyan. Moreover, a casual move from them could match the might of Lan Xuyan's golden flames. In fact, it might even be slightly stronger!
And now, Long Yu was challenging an Early-stage Martial Emperor, Qin Chang Yue.
Qin Chang Yue was stunned. He did not expect Long Yu to challenge him to a battle of life and death … Although the time was a year later, after the Martial God Conference, how much progress could Long Yu have made in a mere year?
At the very most, Emperor Realm!
Many in the crowd burst into laughter. They all thought that Long Yu was being too arrogant. Challenging an Emperor Realm expert? Did he not know the gap between Martial Emperor Realm and Martial Emperor Realm?
However, to everyone's surprise, Qin Chang Yue did not agree.
He was terrified!
He had underestimated Long Yu many times, putting himself in an awkward position. Qin Chang Yue's estimation of Long Yu was definitely higher than most.
Hearing Long Yu's challenge, he pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "Long Yu, you are a junior, and I am a senior! A junior challenging an elder to a battle of life and death, it's not appropriate! "
As soon as he said that, many people in the surroundings were speechless.
Just how terrified was this Qin Clan Head?
He didn't even dare to accept Long Yu's challenge!
"Hehe, don't be in such a hurry to refuse."
Long Yu smiled faintly. "If you defeat me in the battle, I guarantee that my Senior Brother won't come looking for trouble with you. In fact, I'll even give you a hundred million shenbi as a wager. How about it?"
One hundred million shenbi!
Qin Chang Yue's breathing quickened when he heard this.
In truth, he was wary of Long Yu, which was why he didn't dare to accept Long Yu's challenge. However, this fear wasn't too strong. He just didn't want to take risks out of habit.
But that was when there was no benefit to be gained.
Now, Long Yu was willing to bet one hundred million shenbi for him to accept the challenge!
What kind of concept was one hundred million shenbi?
If Qin Chang Yue had one hundred million shenbi right now, he would be able to advance to the Late Emperor Realm!
In an instant, Qin Chang Yue's expression changed to one of eagerness and greed.
"Since you insist, I will accept the challenge."
