Everyone's eyes were focused on the old man, cautiously waiting for his next move. No one noticed, unknowingly, Yue Qianchou has become the leader of this place.
In fact, this was also his goal. He could have acted earlier, that way the Cultivation Alliance wouldn't have to pay such a heavy price, but he waited until the Cultivation Alliance couldn't hold on any longer, when even the brave Dongfang Chang 'ao and Qiu Wuyuan were at a disadvantage, only then did he act.
Although adding flowers to a brocade is good, it's not as good as sending charcoal in the snow to achieve his goal. After the Cultivation Alliance sacrificed hundreds of lives, he managed to turn the tide. Now he's the leader here, Dongfang Chang 'ao and Qiu Wuyuan can't interfere.
From today onwards, no one in the cultivation world can say that he, the hero, is the scum of the cultivation world. He's long since disliked this title, now that Yan Bu Gui and the others have arrived, of course he has to take advantage of the situation.
Since you dare to call me a scum of the cultivation world, then I'll make you pay with your blood to take back this title … from the moment he was watching the battle from the shadows, he already had this thought, only when the situation was out of his expectations did he start to interfere.
Although he agreed, the old man was still a bit hesitant, but in the end he still gritted his teeth and pushed Bai Hua Fairy and Yan Zi Xia away. Dongfang Chang 'ao and Qiu Wuyuan quickly went to protect the mother and daughter.
The old man looked at Yan Bu Gui who was surrounded below, then shouted to Yue Qianchou: "Yue Qianchou, I've let them go, it's time to fulfill your promise"
"Your worries are unnecessary, I've already said that you can doubt anything, but you definitely don't need to doubt my character. I've always been a man of my words, I've never discounted them "Yue Qianchou waved his hand:" Let them go! "
With that order, the black-clothed men surrounding Yan Bu Gui quickly moved away.
The embroidered robed old man immediately shouted, "Let's go." He immediately shot into the sky. Yan Bu Gui looked at Bai Hua Fairy and Yan Zi Xia with a complicated gaze, but didn't dare to stay any longer and also shot into the sky to chase after them. The two of them broke through the seal formation above the Hundred Flowers Valley and quickly disappeared.
"Retreat." Yue Qianchou nodded. The black-robed men on both sides immediately issued an order. The black-robed men below quickly collected the storage pouches of the dead foreign cultivators. Then, they flew across the sky and disappeared into the surrounding mountains, as if they had never appeared.
Everyone was stunned. Could these people really be those rogue cultivators? Even when retreating, they didn't forget to scavenge some things. They really had the demeanor of those poor rogue cultivators. However, at least he still had some morals and didn't touch the belongings of the dead disciples of the various sects. Otherwise, it would really be difficult to recover them.
Actually, it had nothing to do with morality. Yue Qianchou knew that these second-rate disciples didn't have anything valuable on them. Why would they do something so shameful and cause trouble? On the other hand, the guests that came from afar probably had quite a bit of money on them, so he should take them back to check.
Zi Yi flashed back to Yue Qianchou's side. Yue Qianchou couldn't help but look at Yan Zi Xia's sorrowful eyes. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, thinking: Eldest Miss, please don't blame me for being cruel just now. The crueler I am, the safer you and your mother will be, I hope you understand.
At this time, the exhausted Bi Zicong's group of four ran over and bowed, saying: "Thank you, sir and miss Zi Yi, for saving our lives." Zi Yi looked at the ragged clothes of the four people and frowned, but didn't say anything.
"No need to thank me, it's what I should do." Yue Qianchou nodded and smiled. He also noticed the four people just now. It seems that the shopkeepers and workers of the four great families' shops were almost all killed in order to protect them. Luckily, they managed to save their lives, otherwise a few people who shouldn't have died would've died in vain.
"I have something to do, so I'll leave first. You guys talk." A green light flashed from his sleeve, and Yue Qianchou stepped on his sword and left. The Temptress didn't even know the four people, so what was there to talk about? Of course, she followed them. Zi Yi glanced at the four people. What was there to talk about? She only felt disgusted, so she sprung away.
Everyone watched the three people leave, and then looked at the outside of the Hundred Flowers Palace. There were corpses everywhere, and the survivors from each sect started to collect the corpses …
The market in the Hundred Flowers Valley was already deserted. When the three of them returned to the Hundred Flowers House, there was actually no one there. They probably all went to help just now. Yue Qianchou rubbed his stomach and said: "I didn't eat anything at first, and now there's no one. What bad luck."
"There should be ingredients in the kitchen. You guys go and rest first, I'll send them up later." The Temptress smiled and slowly walked to the back. She really did look like a servant.
Yue Qianchou didn't stand on ceremony and directly went upstairs. After entering the room, he sat in front of the round table in the center and poured himself a cup of tea. As he drank, he looked at Zi Yi and asked: "If you have anything you want to ask, just ask. Don't stifle yourself." This girl's doubts were all written on her face, and she didn't know how to hide it.
Zi Yi clasped her hands together and fidgeted for a while. Suddenly, she looked at the door guiltily and turned back to ask: "Do you want me to massage your shoulders?"
"What?" Yue Qianchou was stunned, and thought he heard wrong.
"Do you want me to massage your shoulders?" Zi Yi repeated. Yue Qianchou's expression twitched. He didn't know what was wrong with this woman. She actually wanted to do such a thing. Even if she gave face to her father, he wouldn't dare to let her do it! So he shook his head and said: "No need, no need. If you have something to say, just say it!"
Zi Yi frowned slightly. It seemed that she was a little unhappy that he didn't let her massage him. She bit her lips and sat in front of Yue Qianchou. She asked: "Those loose cultivators are not loose cultivators at all. Where did you find them? Why don't I know?"
Yue Qianchou replied without hesitation: "Of course, I hired them with money! If you don't pay, who would help you for free? "
Zi Yi's expression became serious and said: "The joint attack of these people is very powerful. If I was surrounded by them, I wouldn't be able to last long if I didn't escape. You must have spent a lot of money to hire so many people at once, right? "
The sound of people coming upstairs came from outside. Yue Qianchou didn't deny it and just replied with an "En". After a while, the Temptress came in with a pile of food, and the table was almost full. The people from various sects were busy cleaning up the mess outside, but the three of them were eating and drinking comfortably in the room.
The Temptress took the opportunity to pour wine for Yue Qianchou and asked: "Just now, that old man in embroidered robes had the lives of Guan Muxue and her daughter in his hands. You let him go, and that's still acceptable. But you clearly had the chance to kill Yan Bu Gui, why did you use him to exchange for the lives of the mother and daughter? You let him escape for nothing. "
Yue Qianchou scratched his nose and thought to himself: The Yan father and son are targeting the Cultivation Alliance, not me. My interference has already made them very unhappy. If I really kill Yan Bu Gui, then just wait and see! Yan Zhuixing will definitely lead a group of people to fight me. The entire Chinese cultivation world needs to form the Cultivation Alliance to be able to fight them. I have nothing better to do. If I want to become enemies with these powerful people who killed my father, I'd be more likely to have a problem with my brain.
You guys continue to fight, I'll just cheer you on from the side. Don't think that I'll get too involved. Yue Qianchou drank a mouthful of wine and ate a mouthful of food, then casually explained: "Some time ago, in order to split the money, the previous Palace Master of the Ten Thousand Demons, Senior Yan Wu Chen, had given me face. How could I have the cheek to kill his only son? Just take it as returning the old man's favor!"
The Temptress nodded slightly. She had also heard about the matter of splitting the money, but she was more or less confused. There was no other reason, but the key was that this little fox was too sincere, which made her suspicious …
On the coast of the East Sea, the heroes of the Cultivation Alliance, the righteous and the evil sects were stationed there. The defensive line was pulled apart along the coast, spanning hundreds of miles.
This was originally a place where the coastal residents lived and fished for generations. However, in order to not implicate these ordinary people, the Fu Xian Island used its control over the secular imperial power to force the local residents to move away.
Although it was done with good intentions, the relocation was not a small number. Therefore, hundreds of thousands of people were forced to leave their homes. For a time, it caused public discontent and almost led to a civil uprising. In the end, it was General Wei who led the army to suppress it forcefully.
They barely managed to move away, but the resettlement of hundreds of thousands of people became a problem. However, corrupt officials were running rampant in the imperial court, and the money allocated by the upper echelons was embezzled layer by layer. How much of it could fall into the hands of the people? If the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people became a problem, it was only a matter of time before something big happened.
This was not something the cultivation world would care about, and no one would care about. They had already fought with the foreign cultivators a few times, and both sides had suffered some losses. Currently, both sides were actively adjusting, preparing to compete with each other again.
However, at this time, the Cultivation Alliance suddenly received news that Yan Bu Gui had secretly brought dozens of Tribulation Passing stage experts to attack the headquarters of the Cultivation Alliance, the Hundred Flowers Valley. Fortunately, Yue Qianchou led more than 600 loose cultivators and arrived in time. Almost all of Yan Bu Gui's group were killed. Unfortunately, in order to save Bai Hua Fairy and her daughter, Yan Bu Gui and a late stage Tribulation Passing stage expert were released.
When the various sects heard this news, they couldn't believe it. Just the loose cultivators under Yue Qianchou could kill dozens of Tribulation Passing stage experts? So they all sent messages to their own people to ask for more details.
The result was that the more than 600 loose cultivators led by Yue Qianchou were not ordinary loose cultivators. They were all Tribulation Passing stage experts. The various sects were shocked when they heard this. More than 600 Tribulation Passing stage experts? After confirming it several times, they finally believed it was true.
The various sects gathered again to discuss this matter. It was a crucial moment in the war, how could they not use so many experts in the rear? So Da Luo Sect suggested that no matter where those loose cultivators came from, Yue Qianchou could leave 50 loose cultivators to continue defending the Hundred Flowers Valley, and the remaining 500 loose cultivators would be transferred to the various sects to prepare for the war.
This proposal was unanimously supported by the various sects. Everyone knew very well why they did this. No one could rest assured that Yue Qianchou had such a strong force in his hands. Especially sects like Da Luo Sect who had a grudge against him, it was better to split them up as soon as possible. Of course, jealousy was also a practical reason. All the sects wanted to take a bite out of it.
The news of the transfer was immediately sent back. When Dongfang Chang 'ao and Qiu Wuyuan received the news, they looked at each other. Anyone with a brain would know what it meant, not to mention someone like Yue Qianchou who didn't want to be at a disadvantage. Dongfang Chang 'ao said in a low voice, "Brother Qiu, you and Yue Qianchou have always been brothers. I think it's better for you to make the decision."
