Yue Henian chose to hang on until the Divine Martial Sect arrived. The killers from the Blue Dragon Society would be executed and the Yue Clan's crisis would be resolved.
However, it was unknown who had spread the news in the Conference Hall at that time, but everyone in the Yue Clan knew what Chu Xiu had said. This had also caused some changes in the Yue Clan's mentality.
In their eyes, they were all innocent people and the main culprit was Yue Luchuan.
The killer's target was him, but he hid in the Inner Residence and did not come out. He just watched others get killed. Wasn't this unfair?
Moreover, after this incident, Chu Xiu started a new round of killing. Because the Yue Clan had lost two Inner Aura Realm warriors and hundreds of servants had escaped, the patrolling of the Yue Clan became weaker and weaker. The number of people Chu Xiu could kill at night also increased, from one or two to a few, and in the end, it even increased to more than ten!
After a few days, the atmosphere in the Yue Clan had become like a barrel of gunpowder. It was very heavy, as if it would explode at any time.
… …
There was a small tavern not far from the Yue Clan Mansion. It didn't even have a proper name, but it was the third son of the Yue Clan, Yue Dongxing's favourite place. This was because the Sichuan dishes here were more authentic.
When Yue Dongxing was young, he followed his family to the Sichuan region of the Western Chu to do business. He stayed there for a long time, and even his taste had unknowingly become biased towards the Sichuan region.
Seeing Yue Dongxing step into the tavern, the shopkeeper immediately welcomed him and said, "Third Master, do you want to follow the old rules?"
Yue Dongxing did not say anything. He only nodded and walked straight upstairs.
He was in a bad mood recently. The Yue Clan's crisis was pressing down on everyone's heads. Although he was an Inner Aura Realm warrior, as long as he was careful, he would not be afraid of the assassins from the Blue Dragon Society. However, the other losses were unacceptable to Yue Dongxing.
Among the nine branches of the Yue Clan, the Third Branch was even more powerful than the First Branch. However, because they had more people, the Third Branch had suffered the most deaths these days.
The collateral relatives of the Third Branch were killed. A few of the direct descendants were also killed. Some of the servants ran away.
Looking at the First Branch's people, because they had Yue Henian's protection, they could hide in the main house and stay safe.
This kind of differential treatment made Yue Dong Xing very unhappy, but he didn't dare to refute Yue Henian. He could only come to this small tavern to drink some wine when he was unhappy, to calm down and relieve some of his stress.
Originally, such a small tavern did not have a private room. However, because Yue Dongxing often came here, the shopkeeper changed his own room on the second floor into a private room. It was a private room specially prepared for Yue Dongxing.
With a heavy heart, Yue Dongxing casually pushed open the door of the private room. However, his footsteps suddenly stopped, because there was a person wearing a black warrior's uniform, a black iron hat with golden patterns, and a black iron mask sitting in the private room.
Who else could it be other than an assassin from the Blue Dragon Society? However, Yue Dong Xing had never thought that the other party would actually be so daring as to openly appear in front of him in broad daylight, not far from the Yue Clan. He was simply too daring and extremely arrogant.
Yue Dongxing subconsciously wanted to shout, but at this time, Chu Xiu raised his finger and made a shushing gesture. He said softly, "Don't speak, close the door and sit down. Otherwise, I will kill you."
Chu Xiu's tone was very soft, but in Yue Dongxing's ears, it made his hair stand on end. He forcefully held back the words he was about to shout.
In just a short moment, Yue Dong Xing had figured out his situation.
The Yue Clan's Fifth Brother and The Fourth Prince had died in the hands of this assassin from the Blue Dragon Society in front of him.
Even though he was confident that he was stronger than the other two, he knew that this assassin from the Azure Dragon Society could easily kill him if he wanted to.
In this kind of situation, if he shouted, it would easily alert the Yue Clan's people. However, this assassin from the Blue Dragon Society would also kill him before they arrived.
In the end, whether he should sacrifice himself and call the Yue Clan's people over to stall this assassin from the Blue Dragon Society, or save his own life, Yue Dongxing chose the second option without hesitation.
After closing the door, Yue Dongxing sat opposite Chu Xiu. He placed his hands on the table and said in a low voice, "How dare you! You actually dare to appear here in broad daylight. Do you really think that there is no one in the Yue Clan? "
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "Your Yue Clan does have people, but unfortunately, they are only trash."
Seeing Yue Dongxing's angry expression, Chu Xiu changed the topic and said, "Of course, Third Master Yue, you are not trash. You are one of the few people in the Yue Clan who understand the situation."
Yue Dongxing snorted coldly and said, "Appearing here in broad daylight, what are you trying to do?"
At this time, Yue Dongxing understood that the other party probably did not want to kill him.
Otherwise, if the other party launched a sneak attack when he opened the door, he would not be able to block more than a few moves.
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "Third Master Yue, you should know what I want. Actually, what I want is very simple. I just want to complete the mission."
Yue Dongxing said in a low voice, "How much money did the Mu Clan give you? My Yue Clan can give you even more!"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Third Master Yue, you can't say it like that. Everything in this world has rules. Killing people also has rules. If I break the rules of the Blue Dragon Society, I will be the one who will be out of luck."
"So you are saying that you want to exterminate my Yue Clan?" Yue Dongxing stared at Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Didn't you hear what I told your Yue Clan's disciples to tell you? I said that I only want to complete the mission. Moreover, forgive me for being blunt, Third Master Yue, your Yue Clan's nine branches are all doing this for the First Branch, for Yue Luchuan! "
Yue Dongxing's expression suddenly changed, "What do you mean?"
Chu Xiu looked at Yue Dongxing, a whirlpool seemed to spin in his eyes, quietly affecting the atmosphere in the room.
"Third Master Yue, don't you understand what I am saying? Isn't this what you are thinking?
Whose idea was it to exterminate the Mu Clan? It was the Yue Clan's First Branch, it was Yue Luchuan. Who benefited the most in the end? It was also them!
Who was the one who attached themselves to the Divine Martial Sect? One was the Yue Clan's First Branch, the other was Yue Luchuan. In the end, the Divine Martial Sect would only help them.
Before this incident, the Yue Clan's nine branches had always taken turns to control the Yue Clan. Whoever was more capable and contributed more to the Yue Clan would be the one to make the decisions.
But now? Ever since the Yue Clan's First Branch attached themselves to the Divine Martial Sect, it could be said that they had completely turned over. Your Yue Clan's Elder, Yue Henian, had even started to openly lean towards the First Branch.
Now, I have killed many of your Yue Clan's people, but I have not succeeded in killing the person I wanted to kill the most. What's the point of you stopping me here? You are just sacrificing your life for someone else's sake.
After a few decades or a hundred years, the Yue Clan's First Branch will completely control the Yue Clan. At that time, the First Branch's descendants will be the direct descendants. What about you? You will become a branch family!
At that time, think about what you have done today. Third Master Yue, the Yue Clan has been very unfair to you! "
Chu Xiu's eyes faintly had an unfathomable expression, but Yue Dongxing couldn't feel it at all.
With Chu Xiu's current cultivation of the Art of Extinguishing Heaven, Destroying Earth and Soul Shifting, although he was unable to control Yue Dong Xing, an Inner Strong Realm martial artist, he was still able to influence his opponent's state of mind and magnify a certain emotion in his heart. This was something Chu Xiu could do.
At this time, Yue Dongxing's heart was already filled with one word that Chu Xiu had said. Unfair!
The Yue Clan's nine branches had always respected those who were capable. Although his elder brother occupied the position of the First Branch in name, what contributions did he make to the clan?
In the early years, he was the one who led the clan's rankers to fight outside. He was also the one who led a caravan to travel thousands of miles to West Chu to trade. He was also the one who didn't return home for many years.
In the clan, he was still the one who had the highest reputation and was the most respected!
But now? Just because his elder brother's son climbed up to the Divine Martial Sect's Sect Leader's daughter, his father started to lean towards the First Branch. Now, he and the others had to be the Yue Clan's First Branch's shield. After fighting for so long, not only was there no hope for the Clan Leader's position, after a few decades, even his own branch would be reduced to a branch family!
Unfair, how unfair!
Looking at Yue Dongxing, Chu Xiu retracted the Soul Shifting Technique and said softly, "Third Master Yue, I will still say the same thing. I only want to complete my mission.
The internal affairs of your Yue Clan are things that even an outsider like me can't bear to watch. I think that within the Yue Clan, those who are dissatisfied with Yue Henian and the First Branch must be the majority, right?
Finally, I will give you one more thing. The Yue Clan is very big. Even if more than half of its people died, it is still a big clan in Linzhong County!
As for what you should do, Third Master Yue, you should think about it yourself. I won't disturb your meal anymore. "
After saying this, Chu Xiu immediately pushed open the window and disappeared in a flash. Only Yue Dongxing was left sitting on the same spot, his face filled with uncertainty.
