Boom!
On a desolate planet, a hundred thousand people had just landed when they were surrounded by tens of millions of people who suddenly appeared around them. Countless streaks of light burst out like a storm.
Shock, astonishment, bewilderment, panic, and all sorts of other unexpected expressions appeared on the faces of the people who were surrounded. It seemed that no one had expected such a thing to happen, and they immediately began to fight back with all their might. However, in the face of the attacks of tens of millions of people, in the face of a large number of Mage Breaker Bows, all their unease and anger were drowned out.
When the last person's head was smashed to smithereens by Dan Qing's sledgehammer, Dan Qing fell to the ground with the sledgehammer. She looked at her arm, where her armor had been split open, and blood was dripping from it. Looking at the corpse in front of her, her eyes were filled with disbelief.
The six generals slowly gathered together. Ao Tie waved the star bell in his hand and said, "The tenth batch. There are no more after that. They have all been dealt with."
Meng Ru propped herself on her sword and said solemnly, "The Xiahou Clan's strength is truly terrifying. To think that they have so many hidden experts. If we hadn't gathered a batch of Armor-piercing Bows and ambushed them in batches, we wouldn't have been able to stop them at all!"
Everyone else's faces were grim as well. Even though the enemy was outnumbered and ambushed, someone still managed to kill a few hundred thousand of them. Some of them almost managed to escape. Come to think of it, the number of Mage Breaker Bows they had was still a little lacking.
Ao Tie put away the Star Bell in his hand. "Everyone, clean up. The Great Deacon has ordered us to assemble as soon as possible."
Inside the Taoist temple, Yang Qing, who had received news of the annihilation of the Xiahou family's one million troops, showed himself. He had someone open the door of the Taoist temple and waited for the Dominator of the Six Realms.
Charcoal circled twice around Xiahou Tuo, who was sitting in front of the small table with his eyes closed and not saying a word. Charcoal clicked his tongue and said, "This old thing isn't much after all. He's so useless. He was so easily taken care of. Why are there so many people afraid of him?"
Yang Qing slowly walked to the side of the small table and stared at Xiahou Tuo for a while. To put it bluntly, this side had already been uprooted. If His Royal Highness were to continue to act against the external forces of the Xiahou Clan, then the destruction of the Xiahou Clan, which had been entrenched in the world for so many years, would only take a moment. He really wanted to see Xiahou Tuo's reaction after he found out about this.
"Let him wake up," Yang Qing said to Yan Xiu.
Yan Xiu frowned. "Isn't that inappropriate?"
Yang Qing said, "It doesn't matter. He failed miserably in an easy task. He can't stir up any more waves."
After a moment of silence, Yan Xiu walked to Xiahou Ta's back and placed his five fingers on the top of Xiahou Ta's head. Very quickly, wisps of black smoke came out of Xiahou Ta's seven apertures and were absorbed into Yan Xiu's palm.
Once Yan Xiu withdrew his hand, Xiahou Ta slowly opened his eyes. The first scene that entered his vision was Yang Qing standing with his hands clasped behind his back, looking down at him with interest. Beside him, Charcoal would occasionally poke his head in.
Xiahou Ta and Yang Qing stared at each other for a moment. Then, they looked around and realized that they were in their own Daoist temple. However, there was an unusual scene in the Daoist temple. There was actually a ruined banquet, and where they were sitting … The muscles on his face twitched fiercely. He seemed to have realized something. His gaze stared at Yang Qing's face and asked, "Which faction are you from?"
Yang Qing said with interest, "I have long heard of Heavenly Elder's great name. Why don't you take a guess?"
Xiahou Ta turned to look at Yan Xiu. Back on the black awning ship, he had seen with his own eyes how his consciousness had become blurry after Yan Xiu had shot the black light at him. His gaze was fixed on Yan Xiu's dead face. He enunciated each word clearly, "You are Niu Youde's close follower, Yan Xiu? Are you Niu Youde's men, or Purgatory's men? That's right. How could the remnants of the Six Paths control the current Niu Youde with their current strength? You are Niu Youde's men! "
He then turned to look at Yang Qing. "Forgive this old man's poor eyesight, but there doesn't seem to be anyone with a physique like yours by Niu Youde's side. Who are you?" He could tell that Yang Qing was the one in charge here.
"There is, but this humble one has left His Highness's side for too long. I have only returned recently. Heavenly Elder should have an impression of me." Yang Qing said as he cupped his fists. "Yang Qing pays his respects to Heavenly Elder!"
"Yang Qing … Yang Qing …" Xiahou Ta mumbled a few times and slowly nodded. "Sounds familiar. There seems to be someone like this by Niu Youde's side. Where is Niu Youde? Since you are here, why don't you meet with this old man? "
Yang Qing said, "His Highness has many important matters to attend to. There is no need for His Highness to personally come over for such a trivial matter."
"A trivial matter? Haha! " Xiahou Ta slapped the table and laughed to the heavens. He laughed so hard that tears seemed to come out of his eyes. He supported himself with both hands on the table and slowly stood up. He shook his head and stopped laughing. He stared at Yang Qing and said, "Since you can stand here and boast shamelessly, you must be the one in charge this time?"
Yang Qing smiled faintly. He did not confirm or deny it.
"Good, good, good!" Xiahou Ta nodded and left his seat. He paced back and forth in the main hall of the Taoist temple for a while. He looked at the two rows of seats on the left and right, then looked at the first seat on which he was sitting. He asked, "Have you already captured all of my sons in one fell swoop?"
Yang Qing said, "They are all alive and well. For the time being, there is no need to worry about their safety!"
"That's true. They still have value." Xiahou Ta nodded in agreement. He then tilted his head to look at Yang Qing and said, "You attacked this side, but not the external forces of the Xiahou Clan. It seems that you are here for the Clan Elder Council."
Yang Qing smiled and said, "Why can't I be here for you?"
Xiahou Ta sneered, "The news that I am still alive must have just been obtained from Wei Shu's mouth, right?"
Yang Qing smiled faintly, "Why do you think so?"
Xiahou Ta turned his head to look outside the main door and sighed softly, "Cao Man went to find Niu Youde to see the blood lotus. Niu Youde found an excuse to delay her, so Cao Man would naturally be vigilant. She would not go according to the time set by Niu Youde. There is no one else but Wei Shu who has the qualifications to see the blood lotus with their own eyes. That is to say, Niu Youde's purpose of delaying her was to deal with Wei Shu. Before controlling Wei Shu, it is impossible for him to know that I am still alive. Therefore, it is obvious that the reason why you attacked Wei Shu from the start was to deal with the Clan Elder Council. You just happened to find out the secret that I am still alive from Wei Shu's mouth. The Clan Elder Council … this secret is a secret that the people in charge of the various halls of the Xiahou family would not dare to leak to the outside. Other than them, no one else would know about it. Cao Man would also not tell you. Before knowing the details of the Xiahou family, although you have the ability to control people to dig out the secret, based on Niu Youde's previous influence, he would not dare to act rashly against the people of the various halls of the Xiahou family. Niu Youde would not be able to bear the consequences of acting rashly. Only a dead person would not leak out the information that you have controlled. The most likely possibility is the already dead Xiahou Ling. It seems that before Xiahou Ling died, you have already dug out many secrets from the Governor's Office of the Netherworld. You have obtained the situation of the various halls from him and also know of the existence of the Clan Elder Council. However, Xiahou Ling does not know that I am still alive. Even after knowing the situation of the various halls, you still did not dare to act rashly. This is because you know that the Clan Elder Council can restore the power of the various halls at any time. Therefore, you wanted to first eliminate any future troubles, which was why you made a move against Wei Shu. Unfortunately, you also found out about this old man's existence from Wei Shu. This old man is not wrong, right? "
Yang Qing smiled but did not say anything. However, he sighed in his heart. Xiahou Ta was indeed the Xiahou Ta whose name shook the world. He was able to sort out the ins and outs of the matter so quickly.
Xiahou Ta turned around and walked back to stand in front of Yang Qing. He stared at Yang Qing and said, "However, there is one thing that this old man does not understand. From your actions, it seems that you knew that Wei Shu was a trap. Other than this old man, no one else knows about this matter. Controlling Wei Shu is useless. This old man wants to know how you saw through it."
Yang Qing smiled and said, "Because you are still alive!"
Xiahou Ta made an 'oh' sound. "That simple?"
Yang Qing said calmly, "Because I do not believe you! From Wei Shu's mouth, I indeed could not see any signs of a trap. If I did not know that Xiahou Ling's death was deliberately left unchecked by you, I would have almost believed it. I would have really thought that there was no trap. But what kind of person is the Albatross? He would even sacrifice his own son to achieve his goals. I find it hard to believe that the Albatross would entrust his entire family's life to Wei Shu's hands. Therefore, even though we dug out enough truth from Wei Shu that we could believe and could not see any trap, I still did not believe in the Albatross. I forced myself to look for any possible suspicious points. Thus, I repeatedly combed through the information that Wei Shu had given me. If there was anything suspicious, then it could only be the entrance to the Rubble Starfield. Because Wei Shu always set off from there, I focused on that place and made all sorts of assumptions and conjectures. In the end, I came up with a shocking possibility. Wei Shu might be a trap set by the Albatross! Then, I used the blood lotus to test the Albatross' reaction. Sure enough! "
Xiahou Ta was silent for a while. Suddenly, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. "It seems that Yun Zhiqiu's jealousy in the King's Mansion was also part of your plan. Logically speaking, if Niu Youde really had a plot against this old man, he would not have done anything unusual at this time. In the end, the two of you did the exact opposite. Haha, this has indeed dispelled this old man's suspicions. Good, good, good! "He raised his hand and patted Yang Qing's shoulder." As expected, the new generation excels the old! "
"I don't think so. The Albatross is in the light while we are in the dark. If we can still lose to the Albatross when we have so many advantages, that would be too unreasonable. From the way I see it, it's not a matter of making waves. As the saying goes, one's wealth does not exceed three times, and one's affairs do not exceed three times. From the demon monk to the Six Dao, to the current Lord Qing and Lord Buddha … "Yang Qing paused for a moment before he slowly said," There are people's schemes in this world, but man proposes, God disposes. All kinds of coincidences indicate that Albatross' luck has run out. His luck is no longer on the Xiahou Clan's side. My Royal Highness is at the peak of his power! "
Xiahou Ta's last sentence caused Xiahou Ta's body to tremble slightly, his expression a little perplexed. After regaining his senses, he stared into Yang Qing's eyes and said, "In the early years, this old man thought that Niu Youde was quick-witted, but not good at long-term planning, so I didn't think much of him. However, the various methods that Niu Youde displayed afterwards made this old man rather puzzled. I didn't understand it before, but now I have a rough idea in my heart. I'm afraid that you were the one behind all of this. If this old man didn't guess wrongly, the series of plans to overthrow Hao Defang originated from you. The fact that Niu Youde allowed you to oversee and deal with this old man can be seen from this. Although you serve under Niu Youde, Niu Youde doesn't trust you and won't allow you to grasp any real power. Am I wrong? "
Yang Qing's heartstrings trembled. He had just poked into Xiahou Ta's worries, causing Xiahou Ta's body to tremble. Xiahou Ta's immediate counterattack had also poked into Yang Qing's unspeakable secret.
However, Yang Qing smiled on the surface and said, "The Albatross is too confident in his own judgment!"
