"What?" Qiu Wuyuan and Hua Ruyi couldn't help but exclaim.
Yue Qianchou nodded with a smile, but a fierce look flashed in his eyes. Actually, with his current strength, he could go to Da Luo Sect alone, but it would be difficult to completely wipe them out. Even if he used all his strength, Da Luo Sect's deep roots wouldn't be easy to deal with. Moreover, who knew how many Tribulation Passing experts were hidden among them. Even if they couldn't beat him, they could at least escape, right?
If he wanted to wipe out Da Luo Sect, he couldn't let those experts escape. Otherwise, they could rise again at any time. Such a large-scale operation required an equally large faction to take action. One was the number one sect in the demonic path, while the other was number three in the righteous path. If the two joined forces, Da Luo Sect would definitely lose.
Actually, Yue Qianchou had thought of asking Supporting Immortal Island for help, but they definitely wouldn't be willing. Supporting Immortal Island would rather give up their worldly power than make a move on Da Luo Sect. Otherwise, not only would it damage the righteous path's strength, but Supporting Immortal Island would also lose the right to continue leading the righteous path.
"Yue Qianchou, what kind of hatred do you have with Da Luo Sect that you would want to wipe them out?" Hua Ruyi asked with a frown.
Yue Qianchou's smile turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "When I first joined Aung Kwang-tsung, my master died at the hands of Da Luo Sect. Back then, I swore on my master's corpse that I would avenge him. Is that reason enough? "
There was another reason he didn't say, and that was that Shi Wenguang was about to send out his troops. He chose this time to cause trouble for Da Luo Sect to cause chaos in China's cultivation world. This was to prevent people from getting too comfortable and increasing the pressure on Shi Wenguang. As long as the cultivation world was stabilized, he had no doubts about Shi Wenguang's ability to fight a war.
Only when Shi Wenguang controlled the entire Hua Xia Empire would he have more resources for him to prepare for war. Otherwise, the western border wouldn't be able to arm an army to conquer the world.
Another thing was that now was the best time to fish in troubled waters. Once Bi Changchun went to the East Holy Land, he would be able to take advantage of the situation. When the various countries' forces arrived, no one could say what the situation would be like. Therefore, now was the perfect time to target the Exalted Sect.
Hua Ruyi was speechless. Since Yue Qianchou had sworn an oath, it seemed like he was determined to take action against the Daluo Sect.
Qiu Wuyuan's gaze flickered. If it was during normal times when there were no external enemies, this wouldn't be a bad thing for the Ten Thousand Demons. If they could eradicate the forces of the righteous path, the Ten Thousand Demons would be more than willing to do so. But now, it was time for them to deal with a foreign enemy together, so it was a little difficult …
"I'm afraid we'll be scorned by the entire cultivation world if we make a move against the Exalted Sect now!" Qiu Wuyuan looked at Yue Qianchou and snickered: "I'm afraid Fuxian Island and their righteous comrades will not just sit back and do nothing, right?"
It seemed like this guy was more or less tempted! Yue Qianchou said indifferently: "Since when did the Ten Thousand Demons become so timid? If you're really willing to help me, the other problems are not a problem. I'll step forward and settle it. I'd like to see who wants to go against me. If you're not willing to help me, that's fine too. There will naturally be others who will be more than happy to help. I don't believe that without Butcher Zhang, we'll have to eat pigs with hair on them! "
Qiu Wuyuan looked at Hua Ruyi and said hesitantly: "This matter is too big. I'm afraid it's not something the two of us can make the decision." Hua Ruyi nodded silently.
Yue Qianchou smiled and said: "I'm not counting on the two of you to make the decision. I'll give you one day. I'll wait for your reply in one day. If you're late, I won't wait. "With that said, he lifted his hand and removed the soundproof barrier, sending the guests off!
The two of them did not stay and hurriedly left. This matter had to be reported to the sect as soon as possible …
Yue Qianchou walked to the window and watched the two of them leave the garden. After that, he fell into deep thought. Then, he closed the window and disappeared from the room …
The capital of the Hua Xia Empire was bustling and lively as usual. On both sides of a quiet street were rows upon rows of luxurious mansions. It showed that the people who could live on this street were all influential people in the capital.
However, this grand and tall mansion seemed a little down and out in this luxurious mansion where nobles and nobles gathered. The tall walls were in need of new paint, the tiles were old and in need of renovation. The red paint on the tall vermillion door was peeling. It looked a little shabby and bleak. Who could imagine that the owner of this mansion was the mansion of the Pillar of the State General who had his own army at the western border?
Similarly, because the Pillar of the State General had his own army, the Shi Family did not dare to be too high profile. They allowed the mansion to be worn down and did not whitewash it on the outside. He was afraid that if the color was too bright, it would agitate the Emperor, who was already full of suspicions, even more.
The neighbors who lived in the surrounding mansions were all officials of the court and were used to the Shi Family's low profile. They would at most glance when they passed by, not daring to have any entanglements with the Pillar of the State General. Once upon a time, this was a rich and powerful family that many people wanted to curry favor with, but did not have the means to do so. But now, everyone was trying to avoid them, afraid that they would be implicated if they had even the slightest connection with the Pillar of the State General. This was because there were countless spies from the court watching this place. If they were not careful, they could become the accomplices of the Pillar of the State General.
In front of the door, the once bustling traffic had disappeared for many years. Now, all that was left was deserted. Even describing this place as' deserted 'was a little too much. The gatekeeper behind the vermillion door was lying down in the gatehouse and dozing off. There was no need to worry about anyone disturbing him.
At this moment, the sound of galloping horses could be heard from outside the door. There was also the sound of a large group of people running. Even the dozing gatekeeper could feel the ground tremble. The gatekeeper suddenly woke up. He was very familiar with this sound. It was the sound that would come from outside when the Pillar of the State General or the Pillar of the State General returned.
Was it the Pillar of the State General or the Pillar of the State General? The gatekeeper's face lit up. He quickly adjusted his clothes and hat and opened the door impatiently. The first thing he saw was the gleaming swords and spears. The general on horseback had an unfamiliar face. He was neither the Pillar of the State General nor the Pillar of the State General. He was waving his whip viciously at the two ends of the street and shouted, "Surround this place. Everyone, keep your eyes open. Do not let a single fly out of the General's Residence. Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"
The large group of people split into two sides and surrounded the Pillar of the State General's Residence like an iron bucket. The gatekeeper's expression changed greatly. He had also heard rumors that the Pillar of the State General was going to rebel. Could it be that the Pillar of the State General was really going to rebel?
The general on the horse glared fiercely at the open door. The gatekeeper was so scared that he slammed the door shut with a bang. He didn't forget to bolt the door shut. He turned around and ran back into the courtyard. As he ran, he shouted, "Not good. Something bad is going to happen. Not good. The General's Residence is surrounded by a large group of people …"
The shouts reverberated throughout the general's residence. The family members and servants, who had been living in fear every day, suddenly rushed out of nowhere. Their faces were pale. The courtyard suddenly seemed to be overcrowded …
The mistress, Li Hongniang, walked out from the main hall with her two wives, Bao Wanshi and Si Tuhui. Bao Wanshi was even holding the hand of a curious child.
"Madam, not good. The General's Residence is surrounded by soldiers …" The gatekeeper shouted as he ran towards the main hall.
Hearing this, the three women who were already panicking became even more at a loss. Bao Wanshi squatted down immediately. She hugged her son and cried, "I didn't expect this day to come. My poor son."
"Sou!" A cold light suddenly flashed out of nowhere. The head of the gatekeeper who had been shouting loudly was directly separated from his body. Without any warning, it flew into the air and fell into the bushes at the side. Blood spurted out. The headless body fell on the road with a bang. The road was instantly stained with blood …
"Ah …" Screams came from all around. Si Tuhui tilted her head to support the tottering Li Hongniang. Bao Wanshi was so scared that she buried her head in her son's chest.
The cold light that killed the person returned with a whoosh. A person walked out of the back garden and put away his flying sword. It was none other than Shi Xiaotian. He walked to the front of the main hall expressionlessly. He looked around at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Anyone who dares to disturb people's morale will be killed without mercy!"
A group of servants looked at the Third Young Master in disbelief. They were so scared that they were trembling. They didn't expect that the seemingly docile Third Young Master would actually kill someone in the blink of an eye. Looking at his expressionless face, it made people feel disgusted.
Li Hongniang and the other two women also looked at Shi Xiaotian as if they didn't know him anymore. Li Hongniang said with a trembling voice, "Third Brother, did you kill that person just now?" She still couldn't believe it.
Shi Xiaotian clapped his hands with his back facing the three women without even turning his head. Ten masked men in black appeared out of nowhere and stood in a row in front of him.
"Guard every direction. Anyone who dares to enter or leave without permission, kill without mercy!" Shi Xiaotian ordered expressionlessly.
The ten men bowed and said, "Yes!" Then they disappeared in front of everyone like ghosts.
"Housekeeper." Shi Xiaotian called.
Shi Shunqing quickly ran over and bowed, "Third Young Master." He didn't panic at the scene just now because he had followed the Great General to the battlefield. This kind of scene was really nothing to him.
Shi Xiaotian pointed at the decapitated corpse on the road and said, "Clean it up. Also, pass down the order that if anyone dares to disturb people's morale again, they will be punished by the family law until they die! "
"Yes!" Shi Shunqing immediately retreated, but his eyes revealed a bit of admiration. He thought to himself, 'As expected of the Great General's son, he didn't panic in the face of danger!'
Shi Xiaotian looked at the direction of the gate. In fact, with his current cultivation of the early stage of Tribulation Passing, he had already noticed a large group of people when they arrived. This was the first time he killed someone. Even now, his heart was still beating wildly. However, he had no choice. He was the only pillar of support in the family. If he lost his sense of propriety, then the whole family would be in chaos. Therefore, when it was necessary, he made a move to intimidate the family and let them see his methods. Naturally, they would feel at ease.
The corpses on the road had already been carried away by two courageous servants. The blood stains on the road had also been washed with buckets of water. The servants obediently returned to their positions and did what they were supposed to do. Although they were afraid, no one dared to show it. In the blink of an eye, peace returned to the residence …
"Third Uncle!" The child ran over and hugged Shi Xiaotian's leg. He raised his head and asked with sparkling eyes, "Did Third Uncle kill those people just now?"
Shi Xiaotian patted his head. This nephew was much more courageous than his eldest brother and his wife. He turned around and bowed to the three people on the steps of the main hall. He said, "I'm sorry for frightening mother and sisters-in-law."
The three women recovered from their panic and looked at the calm Shi Xiaotian. They immediately felt at ease. There was still a man in the family, so they didn't have to worry about anything. However, the scene of the head suddenly flying just now still made the three women's hearts palpitate. They looked at Shi Xiaotian in disbelief. Did he really kill that person just now?
The three women looked at each other. They more or less knew that Shi Xiaotian wasn't an ordinary person. He cultivated in the back garden for a long time, but they didn't expect him to be such a person.
"Third Brother, what's going on with the people surrounding the General's residence? Did something really happen to your father? "Li Hongniang asked worriedly.
Shi Xiaotian smiled faintly and said, "Mother, don't worry. It should be fine. If something really happened to my father, the people outside wouldn't have surrounded him. I'm afraid they would have already rushed inside."
Li Hongniang sighed and said, "Your father and brothers are not here. You are the only man in the family who can make decisions. There are some things that we women don't understand. The whole family is counting on you."
Shi Xiaotian bowed slightly and said, "Mother and sisters-in-law, don't worry. I'm here, and nothing will happen." He said to Situ Hui who was supporting Li Hongniang and said with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, help mother to go inside and rest! I'm here, don't worry. "
Situ Hui nodded. Bao Wanshi, whose tears had not dried yet, also pulled her son. Because Shi Xiaotian's thunderous means just now, the panicked atmosphere in the family immediately calmed down. The three women were very confident in Shi Xiaotian now, so they went back with peace of mind. As for the death, it was normal for a big family to occasionally execute a disobedient servant, so it wouldn't make them feel uncomfortable.
On the street outside the General's Mansion, there were officials who came back from work. When they saw the General's Mansion being surrounded, they all shook their heads and sneered. Shi Youtian, who also came back from work, was stopped outside the gate by the soldiers.
Shi Youtian, who had a bad expression, got out of the sedan chair. When he saw the soldiers at the gate of the mansion, he immediately panicked and said, "What do you mean by blocking the General's Mansion?"
The general turned his horse around and looked at Shi Youtian condescendingly. He sneered with a trace of arrogance and said, "It turns out that the young master of the General's Mansion is back. Recently, there have been bandits in the capital. For the safety of the General's Mansion, I was ordered to protect the General's Mansion. Don't come out again after you go home. Otherwise, I won't be responsible if something happens. "Then he waved his whip and said," Get out of the way, let Lord Shi in. "
"Nonsense, how could there be bandits in the capital …" Before Shi Youtian could finish his words, he heard the general shout, "Sir Shi, there are some things that everyone knows. Do you really want this general to tear down all pretenses of cordiality? This general is ordered to only allow people to enter the General's Mansion. No one is allowed to leave! "
Shi Youtian was immediately at a loss for words. He waved his hand weakly and the servants immediately went to knock on the door. The group of people entered with their tails between their legs. Behind them, the general sneered as if he was sharpening his blade …
When they were about to reach the main hall, Shi Youtian suddenly noticed a few servants washing the floor. He accidentally wet his shoes and immediately flew into a rage, "Where are your eyes?" This scared the servants so much that they trembled in fear.
"Big Brother." A cold, warning voice rang out.
Shi Youtian was stunned when he saw Shi Xiaotian standing on the steps of the main hall and staring at him. This third brother of his rarely left the backyard. Why was he standing here today? Did he know something?
In all fairness, Shi Youtian was still very afraid of Shi Xiaotian. There was no other reason than that Shi Xiaotian was an immortal-like figure in his eyes. Even though they were blood brothers, he would always show a fawning expression, hoping to get one or two spirit pills or miraculous medicines. When Shi Xiaotian was in a good mood, he would also give him one or two Qi Recovery Pills. After eating them, Shi Youtian's spirits were lifted and he became even more fawning.
"Third Brother, why did you come out?" Shi Youtian revealed a face full of smiles and immediately forgot about his previous unhappiness. He hurried over and stood at the bottom of the steps, looking up happily. It was as if he was the little brother and Shi Xiaotian was the big brother.
Shi Xiaotian frowned and raised his chin towards the outside. "What's going on with the troops outside?"
Shi Youtian's face darkened and he said sadly, "I don't know if it's true or not. I heard rumors that the imperial court received a report from the west saying … that father and second brother are mobilizing troops and collecting rations from all over the place. They're plotting something. And the imperial court is already mobilizing troops in preparation … I thought it was just a rumor, but looking at the situation outside, I'm afraid it's true. Third Brother, you have to think of something! The imperial court clearly wants to put us under house arrest as hostages! Once father really mobilizes his troops, our family will become ghosts under the knife … "
Shi Xiaotian's eyes lit up. He turned a deaf ear to the latter part of his brother's words and muttered to himself excitedly, "Looks like Boss is ready to make his move. We can finally leave this place and explore the cultivation world …"
"Yo! Both of you brothers are here? As expected of blood brothers, you're so close! "A sinister laughter rang out.
The two brothers suddenly turned around and saw a person slowly walking out from the back garden's entrance with his hands behind his back. Who else could it be but Yue Qianchou?
Shi Youtian felt his vision blur and his third brother had already disappeared and appeared at the back garden's entrance. He was extremely envious of his brother's supernatural power. He hurriedly ran over and bowed, saying, "Shi Youtian pays his respects to Mister Yue."
Yue Qianchou smiled and raised his hand, indicating that he didn't have to be so polite. At the side, Shi Xiaotian rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Boss, you're finally here. Does that mean our family can leave this place?"
Yue Qianchou was stunned. He asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
"The soldiers outside are a signal …" Shi Xiaotian immediately told him what he could think of.
