Within Merchant Mountain City, 10 days had already passed and the news had already been sent out, yet there wasn't even a single reply, and this caused Yan Qingxue to feel slight despair.
Uncle Liang pushed open the door with a serious expression and said, "Young Miss, the various powers of South Xiangnan have already arrived. Looks like the matter this time won't end easily."
Yan Qingxue sighed and said, "I understand, Uncle Liang. Let's go."
Uncle Liang was extremely sorrowful and furious in his heart as he followed behind Yan Qingxue.
This group of people from South Xiangnan were simply like jackals and wolves. Even when their Merchant Mountain City was at its peak, they'd never thought of taking revenge on these sects. Of course, these sects were extremely obedient at that time.
In the end, when they saw their Merchant Mountain City starting to decline, these people pounced over and wished for nothing more than to tear off a piece of flesh from Merchant Mountain City.
When Yan Qingxue, Uncle Liang, and the others walked out of the door, they saw the City Governor's Estate was already surrounded by a group of martial artists from South Xiangnan.
A martial artist from the Nine Radiance Sword Sect said coldly, "Is your Merchant Mountain City prepared to hand over the authority and trade routes of Merchant Mountain City?"
A loyal martial artist of Merchant Mountain City stood out and shouted loudly. "Wishful thinking! It was the Young Miss that led us step by step to establish Merchant Mountain City to its current state, yet all of you want to sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor? On what basis? Moreover, is all of you any different from bandits by doing this? "
The other martial artists that were willing to live and die with Merchant Mountain City glared angrily at these people as well.
Actually, the so-called good and evil in South Xiangnan wasn't so clear.
It was unknown if it was because South Xiangnan was close to the Southern Barbaric Lands, but the style of the entire South Xiangnan's Martial World was extremely overbearing. They used strength to suppress others, and there was no distinction between good and evil. Only strength was king.
It was even to the extent that some martial artists of Merchant Mountain City thought in their hearts that if it wasn't for the Young Miss being too kind, their Merchant Mountain City would have dealt with all these sects at its peak, and such an incident wouldn't have occurred.
The martial artist from the Nine Radiance Sword Sect sneered. "Bandits? We might as well be bandits today, what can all of you do? Now, I'll give you one last chance. If you still don't appreciate my kindness, then I'm afraid that blood will flow like a river in Merchant Mountain City today! "
The remaining cultivators of the Merchant Mountain City had an unyielding expression on their faces. Since they had already decided to stay in the Merchant Mountain City, this battle was unavoidable.
Among them, there were trusted subordinates of the Merchant Mountain City, and there were also people who had been greatly indebted to Yan Qingxue. In any case, they were all prepared to perish together.
The eyes of the other Xiangnan forces turned cold. The White Lotus Sect had only instructed them not to kill as soon as they arrived, but now that the people of Shangshan City didn't know what was good for them, why couldn't they make a move?
Just as the two sides were about to fight, Zou Ming suddenly appeared. He walked over and said with a smile, "We're all martial arts forces of Xiangnan. Why do you have to kill each other?"
Everyone present had strange expressions on their faces. These words were spoken by a warrior from the White Lotus Sect in front of everyone. No matter how they looked at it, it felt somewhat awkward.
Especially since some people knew that this matter was instigated by the White Lotus Sect.
If the White Lotus Sect hadn't told them that Daoist Qian had been seriously injured and had lost his ability to fight, they wouldn't have dared to make a move on the Merchant Mountain City.
Zou Ming turned to Yan Qingxue and the rest and said plainly, "Everyone, it's fine that you rejected the good intentions of the White Lotus Sect last time. After all, the reputation of the White Lotus Sect in the pugilistic world isn't that great.
But now that you've seen it, reputation is useless in the pugilistic world. What's most important is strength.
The reputation of the Merchant Mountain City is good, but now that a disaster is upon us, how many people will stand up to help the Merchant Mountain City fight against the martial arts forces of Xiangnan?
On the other hand, if the Merchant Mountain City was strong enough, they naturally wouldn't dare to make such a decision.
Now that the Merchant Mountain City has joined the White Lotus Sect, the White Lotus Sect can at least guarantee the safety of the Merchant Mountain City. In the Xiangnan area, no one will dare to provoke us! "
As he spoke, Zou Ming looked around. The martial artists of the Xiangnan area all subconsciously avoided him.
After all, with the strength of the White Lotus Sect, even if they wanted to massacre the entire Xiangnan area, it wouldn't be difficult.
Zou Ming turned his gaze to Yan Qingxue and said, "What do you think, City Lord Yan? What do you think of my suggestion?"
Some of the other martial artists of the Merchant Mountain City were even a little tempted. After all, they had experienced such a thing today. They had already lost all hope in these so-called righteous sects. They might as well join the White Lotus Sect.
It was just that Yan Qingxue hadn't spoken yet, so they didn't dare to make a decision.
Yan Qingxue was silent for a moment before saying, "What if I choose to reject?"
The smile on Zou Ming's face gradually disappeared. He said plainly, "Reject? City Lord Yan, no one can reject the White Lotus Sect. Moreover, the White Lotus Sect isn't a sect that does good deeds.
This time, the White Lotus Sect won't hit you when you're down. However, the White Lotus Sect doesn't care what the other sects do. "
As soon as Zou Ming said this, the other martial artists of the Xiangnan area sneered and took out their weapons.
They had been envious of the wealth of the Merchant Mountain City for a long time. Since the Merchant Mountain City rejected the recruitment of the White Lotus Sect, didn't that mean that they could do whatever they wanted to the Merchant Mountain City?
A trace of struggle flashed in Yan Qingxue's heart. Am I really still so useless? Back then, it was only with his help that she could become the City Lord of the Merchant Mountain City. In the end, she still couldn't protect this foundation.
However, at this moment, a cold voice sounded. "No one can reject the White Lotus Sect? What a big tone! Daoist Qian was injured by you guys. The news was also leaked by you guys. Even these people were instigated by the White Lotus Sect. In the end, it was the White Lotus Sect who pretended to be the good guy. Since when did the White Lotus Sect become so wishy-washy? "
Hearing this voice reveal all the plans of the White Lotus Sect, Zou Ming's expression suddenly changed.
Just as he was about to say something, he felt a strong pressure coming towards him. A figure in a black robe walked down step by step from the sky. With every step he took, everyone present felt a strong pressure coming towards them.
In the end, everyone present couldn't help but kneel. Even Zou Ming, a Harmonious God Realm martial artist, spat out a mouthful of blood. He couldn't help but kneel on the ground. His eyes were filled with horror.
He was a Harmonious God Realm martial artist. Although a Yang God Realm martial artist could easily kill him, they couldn't force him to kneel on the ground with coercion.
In that case, the strength of this person in front of him was clear at a glance. He must be an Earth Immortal in the True Martial Realm!
Zou Ming did not expect that an Earth God of the True Martial Realm would be attracted to this incident. Moreover, the Earth God of the True Martial Realm had only focused his aura on Zou Ming and the martial artists of Xiangnan Province. The people of Shangshan City were not affected at all. Zou Ming immediately understood that the Earth God was on the side of Shangshan City!
Zou Ming didn't expect that a small force like the Merchant Mountain City, which only had a little influence in the Xiangnan region, could be related to an Earth Immortal in the True Martial Realm?
At this time, Yan Qingxue also looked at Su Xin's back in a daze. Her eyes revealed a look of disbelief.
Although more than ten years had passed, and although the person in front of her had changed in appearance and figure, Yan Qingxue could still recognize at a glance that this person in front of her was the Meng Qingze that she had been yearning for for more than ten years!
However, before Yan Qingxue could say anything, Su Xin looked at the martial artists of the Xiangnan region and shook his head. "How disappointing. After so many years, the Xiangnan region didn't even have the slightest bit of development. They bully the weak and add insult to injury."
Although Su Xin was also from the Xiangnan region, Su Xin really looked down on this group of people.
What Su Xin looked down on was not their banditry, but the way they bullied the weak and feared the strong.
Only by constantly challenging the strong could they gain more strength. How strong could they be if they bullied the weak and bullied the weak?
At this time, the martial artists of the Xiangnan region were almost paralyzed with fear.
For them, the strongest person they had ever seen in their lives was only in the Yang Spirit Realm. Now that they had suddenly seen an Earth Immortal in the Real Martial Realm, these people were so scared that they didn't know what to say.
One of the martial artists in the Divine Transformation Realm trembled and said, "Sir, we …"
Before he could finish his words, everyone felt a slight fluctuation of Zhen Qi, and the heart of the man in front of them suddenly exploded with a loud bang. In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and everyone present was stunned.
Su Xin said faintly, "What's the point of living for such a useless person? It's an insult to the name of a martial artist. Go to hell. "
Everyone present suddenly screamed in fear and instantly turned around to escape!
They had never seen an existence in the Real Martial Realm, but how was this person in front of them different from a demon king who killed people without saying a word?
Moreover, the other party's reason seemed very casual to them. Did he deserve to die just because they were useless? If that was the case, then there would probably not be many people in this world who could live.
Seeing these people frantically running away, Su Xin's eyes also showed a hint of coldness.
In an instant, the power of the Heavenly Heart Tribulation was exerted to the extreme. Su Xin's body did not move at all, but the martial artists of the Xiangnan region felt their hearts beating wildly. Before they could react, the chests of more than ten martial artists in the Divine Transformation Realm all exploded, staining the long street with blood.
Such a terrifying scene made everyone present hold their breath. Even the people of Shangshan City looked at Su Xin with fear in their eyes.
Although they had seen blood and killed people before, they had never seen such a horrifying scene like the one in front of them.
These were more than ten martial artists in the Divine Transformation Realm. Although they were nothing in other places, in the Xiangnan region, almost all of them were leaders of a sect. In the end, they all died here after saying a word. At this time, in their eyes, there was no difference between Su Xin and a demon king.
