Lin Xuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He took a step back and pretended to be calm as he said, "Of course I'm going to take down the Black Snakes sect in one fell swoop while the Black Snakes sect is without a leader."
"Then do you want me to mobilize the longbow unit to help you?" Mu Qingxue said as she looked at Lin Xuan with sparkling eyes.
"That won't be necessary. I can handle it." Lin Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The officials sent by Heavenly Wolf City had already stationed themselves in Fish Dragon Town and were investigating Xue Datong's death. If he mobilized the longbow unit to participate in the gang war at this time, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?
However, he also understood that Mu Qingxue was purely thinking for his sake, so he was somewhat moved.
"Alright, then you go! Let your subordinates fight with their lives on the line. You must be careful. "
Mu Qingxue gently exhorted. She even helped Lin Xuan tidy his clothes like a little wife. Then, she shyly said in a low voice, "Remember to look for me when you come back. I-I'll wait for you."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Lin Xuan with her charming eyes, then turned around and left gracefully.
Hu — —
Lin Xuan exhaled as he watched the girl's graceful figure gradually disappear into the distance. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. What was going on?
There were many good things in Wu Jiang's Poison Witch's storage ring. Mu Qingxue didn't want them, so Lin Xuan naturally accepted them with a smile.
He carefully searched the ring and quickly found the Void Spirit Pill. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
The Void Spirit Pill was a priceless Dao Comprehension Spirit Pill. It could allow a cultivator to enter a state of emptiness, greatly increasing their intelligence and comprehension for a short period of time. It could also help a cultivator comprehend battle skills and mental cultivation methods. It was like cheating, and was extremely precious.
With this pill, Lin Xuan had a high chance of mastering the Penetrating Wind Finger in a short period of time.
Other than that, the items in the ring that Lin Xuan was most interested in were a silver cloak and an azure longsword. Both of them were superior-grade spirit weapons.
That silver cloak was an incomparably precious defensive spiritual artifact. He didn't know what material it was made of, but it was smooth and hard to be damaged by swords and blades. It was impervious to water and fire.
Lin Xuan unceremoniously draped it over his body. With a bit of effort, the cloak immediately tightened. Under the illumination of the moon, it shone with a silvery light, making him appear even more tall and sturdy, majestic, and extremely flashy.
This kind of practical and cool item was a must-have for fighting and picking up girls. Lin Xuan liked it very much.
"Gang Leader!"
Lin Hu brought twelve elite experts and walked over. Each of them had a strange expression on their faces.
Lin Xuan asked indifferently, "Where's Wang Xiong?"
"Hall Master Wang ordered people to escort Shi Longhai back to the River Sect while he rushed to the Black Snake Sect's branch. They should be launching their attack soon," Lin Hu said.
"Alright, let's go!"
Just as he finished speaking, an earth-shattering battle cry suddenly erupted from the northwest of Fish Dragon Town. It was accompanied by a large blaze, and the clamor resounded through the sky.
At this moment, the more than one thousand members of the River Sect poured out of their nest and rushed into the Black Snake Sect's branch like floodwaters. They mercilessly killed anyone they saw.
Wang Xiong, Zhao Kun, Jiang Hao, Shen Jianchuan, Lin Fan, and Fang Yun were at the forefront. They swung their swords and sabers, sweeping through everything in their path. Before long, their battle robes were dyed red with blood. Their murderous auras shrouded their bodies, and they transformed into peerless fiends. They smashed the Black Snake Sect's defensive lines one after another.
The highest authority of the Black Snake Sect's branch, Shi Longhai, had been captured. They were currently in a leaderless state. The River Sect's people had destroyed all their daily defenses and scattered resistance.
The River Sect advanced triumphantly like a hot knife through butter. They broke through more than ten lines of defense and stepped over hundreds of corpses. They gradually killed their way into the Black Snake Sect's encampment.
Here, they finally encountered the Black Snake Sect's main force, which numbered more than eight hundred martial artists.
The Black Snake Sect's leader was a middle-aged man with a fair complexion. His name was Xiao Chong.
Xiao Chong had just been transferred here from the Black Snake Sect's headquarters. He was a Level Eight Spiritual Physique cultivator and had only been in office for three days. He was unfamiliar with the place and didn't even recognize some of the important people in the branch.
When he heard that more than a thousand enemies had invaded, Xiao Chong was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. He hurriedly got up from the body of a beautiful maid and sent people to search for Shi Longhai while gathering more people.
Although there were more than eight hundred people here, it was chaotic. When they finally calmed down, the River Sect's people rushed over.
"How dare you! Who are you? How dare you invade the Black Snake Sect! Are you tired of living? "Xiao Chong roared angrily.
Zhao Kun strode forward and scanned the surroundings. He roared, "Black Snake Sect members, listen up! Your Branch Leader Shi Longhai has already surrendered to the River Sect! From today onwards, the Black Snake Sect's Fish Dragon Branch will merge with the River Sect and become a branch of the River Sect! If you agree to the merger, put away your weapons and return home to await orders. If you object, kill without mercy! "
"Kill without mercy!"
"Kill without mercy!"
More than a thousand River Sect members waved their weapons and shouted in unison. Their momentum shook the heavens.
"This …"
Xiao Chong couldn't help but be stunned. He wasn't a person who made decisions easily. Now that he was intimidated by the River Sect's momentum, his face couldn't help but turn pale.
"What! Branch Leader Shi has surrendered to the River Sect? How is that possible! "
"That's right! Branch Leader Shi has a grudge against the River Sect for killing his son! It must be a rumor spread by the River Sect! "
"But why hasn't Branch Leader Shi appeared yet?"
The Black Snake Sect members below couldn't help but look at each other. They were all panicking and didn't know what to do.
Xiao Chong was dazed for a while before he finally remembered what he was here for. He was sent to Fish Dragon Town to find a chance to overthrow Shi Longhai and seize power!
For the past two years, Shi Longhai had been obedient and didn't listen to orders. He had been paying less and less tributes, which had long angered the headquarters.
Now that Shi Longhai had surrendered, wasn't it perfect?
Xiao Chong's eyes turned and he immediately shouted, "Everyone, don't listen to the enemy's nonsense! Our Black Snake Sect's Fish Dragon Branch is backed by the headquarters. We are a powerful force, so how can we surrender to a small River Sect? Everyone listen to me. Tonight, as long as we defeat the River Sect, everyone will be rewarded! The one who kills the most will be rewarded with ten thousand vitality stones! The one who kills a Sixth Level Spirit Body martial artist will be rewarded with a low-grade spiritual tool — "
Bang!
Before he could finish his speech, a muffled explosion came from behind him.
Then, a streak of light pierced through the night sky and instantly pierced through his chest, sending him flying toward the River Sect's camp.
Plop!
Xiao Chong fell at Wang Xiong's feet. There was a spear-like crossbow bolt in his chest, and he was spitting out large mouthfuls of blood.
Before he could get up, a large foot had already stepped on his neck.
Crack!
Xiao Chong's neck twisted violently and twitched twice. His eyes rolled back, and he died.
At this moment, the Black Snake Sect members were dumbfounded. They all looked at the ballista and the young figure standing upright beside it.
"Shi Wuque! It's Young Master Shi Wuque! "
Many people recognized Shi Wuque.
When Shi Wudao was still alive, Shi Wuque didn't have the qualifications to enter the Black Snake Sect's branch. His reputation in the Black Snake Sect wasn't high either.
But recently, under Shi Longhai's guidance, Shi Wuque's cultivation had reached the peak of Eighth Level Spirit Body. He was now the young master of the Black Snake Sect's branch and the successor of the Shi Family. Almost everyone in the Black Snake Sect didn't know about him.
Under the gazes of countless people, Shi Wuque expressionlessly walked between the two sects and said in a clear voice, "Brothers, due to the excessive pressure from the Black Snake Sect's headquarters, my father has decided to leave the Black Snake Sect and merge the branch with the River Sect!
Most of you here are old brothers who followed my father. I, Shi Wuque, promise that even if we merge with the River Sect, we won't mistreat you in the future. As for those who don't want to stay, feel free to leave. Shi Wuque won't force you! "
The members of the Black Snake Sect fell into deep thought. Their eyes flickered as they whispered to each other.
It didn't matter whether they believed Shi Wuque's words or not. What was important was their future prospects.
"You're lying! Shi Wuque, you're a despicable person who betrays his ancestors and forgets his roots! Master hates Lin Xuan to the bone. How could he join Lin Xuan?! "
