Vicious methods
Purge the outer sect?
When the outer sect disciples heard these words, they couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
As for whether Chu Xingyun killed Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo, they all had their own opinions. However, towards the outer sect under Chu Xingyun's management, all of them were wholeheartedly convinced.
In the past, Chu Xingyun slaughtered four thousand arrogant individuals, completely rectifying the outer sect's chaotic atmosphere. He then established another three thousand disciples to jointly manage the outer sect's affairs. Everything was done meticulously, and there had never been any signs of chaos.
At this very moment, Shi Hao had just assumed the position of the outer sect's master, yet he was already saying that he wanted to purge the outer sect's atmosphere and put the three thousand disciples on trial. These words were truly laughable.
However, everyone understood this principle and saw it clearly with their eyes. However, no one dared to speak out loud. All of them lowered their heads and cursed in their hearts as they were deeply afraid that they would bring about a calamity that would kill them.
Just like what Shi Hao said, the current master of the outer sect was him and not Chu Xingyun. The crowd had some understanding of Shi Hao's methods, so they naturally dared to be angry, but didn't dare to speak out.
Seeing that all of the outer sect disciples maintained their silence, Shi Hao couldn't help but smile in satisfaction. He looked towards the three thousand disciples on the arena, and with his hands behind his back, he slowly said, "The three thousand of you belong to Luo Yun and are in charge of managing the outer sect's affairs. You have even ascended the Sword Lord Peak many times to listen to Luo Yun's lectures. Your relationship with him is quite close."
"After Luo Yun assassinated Sword Lord Chixiao and Sword Lord Qiu Mo, he fled for his crimes. He has already become a disgrace to the Wanjian Pavilion. As for the three thousand of you, you will also have to bear the responsibility and be punished according to the sect's rules!"
When Shi Hao spoke up to here, his voice suddenly became much gentler. He said each word clearly, "However, since this is your first offense, I can give you all a chance. As long as you are willing to leave Luo Yun's sect, take me as your master, and help me manage the outer sect's affairs, I will forgive your crimes."
"If there is someone with outstanding performance, I can even act as a referral and give you a chance to enter the inner sect and become an inner sect disciple. You can enjoy even better cultivation resources."
Shi Hao's words were full of enticement, immediately triggering the crowd's discussions. After Lu Ling heard this, he immediately released a loud laugh and sneered, "Purge the outer sect's atmosphere. You are simply trying to use your authority to forcefully win people's hearts. Shi Hao, how is your way of doing things any different from Chang's and Qin Qiumo's?"
"The so-called guilt is all based on your words alone. If I submit to you, I will be forgiven. You, the leader of the Outer Sect, are really playing around!" Lu Qingxuan couldn't help but curse out. Shi Hao's words were only to rope in her own power, not to reorganize the outer sect.
Shi Hao only gave the two of them a glance before no longer paying them any attention. He continued to speak to the three thousand disciples, "As for those who are unwilling to leave Luo Yun's sect, I will deal with them according to the sect's rules. Those who are serious will be killed without exception!"
Thump!
His voice was full of killing intent, making the expressions of the three thousand people on the arena become serious. If they joined Shi Hao, they would be pardoned from all crimes and could continue to manage the outer sect's affairs. However, if they refused, they would be killed.
Such an extreme choice made it difficult for the crowd to snap back to reality. Even Ning Lefan, Lu Ling, and the others frowned. Was Shi Hao going to unleash a great slaughter just because of a single choice?
Shi Hao still stood with his hands behind his back with an unperturbed appearance. A moment later, when he saw that no one made their choice, a cold smile appeared on his face. He slowly reached out his finger and lightly pointed at twenty people.
Soon, these twenty people were brought out and stood in front of Shi Hao.
He looked at the twenty people in front of him with a rather casual expression and said, "Are you twenty people willing to leave Luo Yun's sect and take me as your master and serve me?"
The twenty outer sect disciples were stunned. They looked at each other with hesitation. At the same time, all of the outer sect disciples' eyes focused over. They even subconsciously held their breaths.
Shi Hao calmly waited for their reply. Suddenly, he said, "Since you are hesitating, then you are willing to continue supporting Luo Yun, supporting a sinner. I will now pass judgment. The twenty of you, die!"
As soon as these words left his mouth, the pupils of the twenty people suddenly contracted. However, they already didn't have the right to speak. Streaks of sword light descended from the void and easily removed their heads.
Pu pu pu pu pu …
Heads flew. Twenty streaks of blood gushed out like rain, dyeing the arena red. It was to the extent where quite a few drops of blood splashed out and landed on the crowd's bodies.
Everyone was stunned in place. Only when the twenty bloody heads fell to the ground and released muffled sounds did they suddenly snap back to reality. They felt their hearts tremble crazily, as if the world was continuously spinning.
These twenty people actually died just like that.
In the short span of three breaths of time, they didn't answer Shi Hao's question. The result was that their heads were separated from their bodies and they died on the spot!
"Shi Hao, you bastard!" Ning Lefan roared angrily. The three thousand disciples had ascended Sword Lord Peak many times to listen to lectures. The friendship between them was deep. Just now, those twenty people died just like that. It was too sudden, without the slightest sign.
"Just now, I said that those who aren't willing to leave Luo Yun's sect will be killed without mercy. These twenty people, I feel that even death cannot wipe out their crimes, so I'll just kill them. Don't all of this make sense?" Shi Hao gave Ning Lefan a look full of mockery. He turned around and looked forward again. His finger lightly pointed out again.
This time, he called out a total of fifty people.
"I am willing to leave Luo Yun's sect and take you as my master!" Without waiting for Shi Hao to speak, a disciple hurriedly spoke out. His face was already pale from fright. As soon as he spoke, his knees heavily knelt down, appearing extremely alarmed.
Following his words, out of the fifty people, another six stood out, all of them agreeing to take Shi Hao as their master.
"Not bad, you all made the most correct decision." Shi Hao said with satisfaction. Right when his voice fell, sword radiance appeared again. The forty-three people who still hadn't made their choice had their heads separated from their bodies, powerlessly falling onto the ground.
At this moment, there were already sixty-three headless corpses on the arena. Shi Hao seemed to be purposely demonstrating his power, not ordering people to clean up these corpses, allowing them to pile up on the arena.
Drop after drop of dark red blood seeped into the stone bricks through the cracks, making the stone bricks reveal a trace of a sinister scarlet color. Quite a few people were even more alarmed when they saw this, unable to snap back to reality for a long time.
Shi Hao, with his status as the master of the outer sect, directly took action to kill without saying a single word.
This type of action was something even Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo had never done before. It was truly cruel, making the minds of everyone here tremble fiercely. They actually felt as if there was an invisible sword hanging above their heads, as if it could cut through their necks at any time.
"Shi Hao, if you are still a man, then fight a fair and square battle with me. Using power to kill is no different from a coward!" Ning Lefan was already so angry his three corpses were jumping up and down. His eyes became scarlet red as he stared fixedly at Shi Hao.
"You are nothing more than a lowly prisoner, while I am the high and mighty master of the outer sect. Do you even have the qualifications to challenge me?" Shi Hao seemed to have heard an enormous joke. His laughter was vigorous, clearly echoing through the void.
