Death Threat
Bloody light surged, dyeing this entire space scarlet. Shi Hao looked at the Blood Curse Sword that continuously approached. His face that was originally full of arrogance immediately lost all color.
Ever since he became Chu Xingyun's personal disciple, not only did Shi Hao smoothly break through to the Heavenly Spirit Realm, he even went a step further, reaching the second layer of the Heavenly Spirit Realm. His sword was powerful, and his strength had made great progress.
However, even so, his strength was still not comparable to Lu Xing's.
One had to bear in mind that Lu Xing was Fan Wu Chen's personal disciple. He held the Blood Curse Sword in his hand, and all of his strength came from killing. Apart from Chu Xingyun and Baili Kuangsheng, no one else was his opponent.
Shi Hao obviously understood this point, so when he saw Lu Xing appear, he only used words to threaten him, not daring to take action. However, he never thought that Lu Xing would be so firm in abiding by the law, directly ignoring him, the master of the outer court.
Chi chi sword cries sounded, and in an instant, the bloody light that represented slaughter had already enveloped Shi Hao's body. Just when he thought that he was going to die without a doubt, a scorching sword light flashed past without any warning, cutting across in front of him.
Two streaks of sword light collided, and a frantic gale spread out, blowing the robes of the crowd until they continuously fluttered about. At the same time, it also stopped Lu Xing's attack, causing his brows to tightly knit together as he stared forward.
He only saw a yellow-clothed Qi Yang descend from the sky. The expression on his face was not too good, and his eyes continuously swept through the crowd. In the end, they focused on Lu Xing's body, and a hint of indignation flashed past his eyes.
However, this anger quickly dissipated, and he said to Lu Xing with a fake smile, "Lu Xing, Shi Hao's words and actions are all under the orders of the pavilion master. For you to take action against Shi Hao like this, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"
"My words and actions are only to comply with the sect's laws. Shi Hao abused his authority and even threatened me, so why can't I kill him on the spot? Even if the pavilion master personally came here, I would still take action." Lu Xing laughed coldly. He raised the Blood Curse Sword horizontally, the sword tip pointing directly at Shi Hao's head.
"Audacious Lu Xing, you dare to ignore the pavilion master …" Seeing Lu Xing's cold attitude, Shi Hao couldn't help but tremble with anger. However, before he finished speaking, Lu Xing suddenly turned around and gave him a fierce glare.
"Why aren't you shutting up?!" Qi Yang secretly transmitted his voice to Shi Hao, and then looked at Lu Xing again. His face was full of flattery as he said, "All matters of Wanjian Pavilion, big or small, are decided by the law enforcers. There is no doubt about this. However, Shi Hao's actions are indeed under the orders of the pavilion master, and he is doing this for the sake of reorganizing Wanjian Pavilion."
"At this moment, Wanjian Pavilion is already in chaos, and it is not suitable to stir up any more trouble. In my opinion, this matter should be settled like this. Anyway, Shi Hao has already received the punishment he deserves."
While speaking, Qi Yang pointed at Shi Hao's arm. The boiling blood had not stopped flowing, and it continuously flowed out from the wound, dyeing the ground red. The smell of blood was pungent.
Lu Xing looked at Shi Hao, and then looked at Qi Yang, and only then did he put away the Blood Curse Sword.
Seeing this, Qi Yang heaved a sigh of relief and continued to speak to Lu Xing, "The matters of the outer sect have not been settled yet. Why don't you wait for a while and hand it over to the law enforcers to deal with?"
Lu Xing still didn't say anything. He nodded and stood to the side.
When Lu Xing walked down from the arena, the entire frozen space finally relaxed. Many people let out a breath of turbid relief. Their foreheads had long been soaked in sweat.
Shi Hao covered the wound on his shoulder and stepped forward again. This time, his expression was much more restrained. He said in a clear voice, "Now, I will give you all one last chance!"
"Those who are willing to leave Luo Yun's sect and take me as their master will be exempted from all punishment and can continue to manage the affairs of the outer sect. Those who perform well will even have the opportunity to enter the inner sect."
"As for those who are unwilling to leave Luo Yun's sect and continue to support him, according to the sect's rules, they will be imprisoned in the Myriad Peak Cliff and suffer the pain of the astral winds day and night. They will never be able to leave!"
While speaking, Shi Hao looked towards Lu Xing. When he saw that the latter didn't say anything to refuse, only then did the boulder that hung in his heart slowly fall. Unknowingly, his back was already drenched in cold sweat.
As for Lu Ling, Ning Lefan, and the others, Shi Hao didn't dare to act rashly. This time, he took seven people out of the Myriad Peak Cliff without permission and had already violated the sect's rules. If he continued to torture them, perhaps even Fan Wujie wouldn't be able to save him.
"You people have all stood out from the outer sect disciples. Your future accomplishments are limitless. There is no need to throw away your lives for a treacherous Luo Yun."
At this time, Qi Yang added, "Make your choice immediately. I hope you don't do anything stupid."
After he finished speaking, he didn't say anything else. The entire space once again sank into a deathly silence. However, under the deathly silence, there was anxiety and uneasiness among the disciples. Every single one of their faces flickered with a conflicted expression.
"I came from a poor background. After entering the Wanjian Pavilion for three years, I have never received any cultivation resources. If not for the Luo Yun Sword Master's grace, I would still be an unknown person. Regardless of whether or not he assassinated Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo, I will continue to support him!"
A moment later, a tall and sturdy disciple stood up. His voice was firm and without a trace of doubt.
"The grace of a drop of water should be repaid with a gushing spring. Moreover, the Luo Yun Sword Master has never done anything wrong. Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo both deserve to die. The one who truly betrayed the sect is definitely not him!" Another disciple spoke in a clear voice. He wasn't willing to leave the sect.
After these two people spoke, quite a few disciples stood up one after another. They all chose to continue supporting Chu Xingyun. However, even more disciples lowered their heads. They didn't say a word and silently stood behind Shi Hao.
Not long after, the voices that spoke one after another finally disappeared. There weren't many disciples who continued to support Chu Xingyun. There were only eight hundred of them. The rest had all entered Shi Hao's sect.
"A group of idiots!" While glaring angrily at the eight hundred disciples in front of him, Shi Hao spat out this word coldly. However, the one he hated even more was Lu Xing. If not for his sudden appearance, the situation wouldn't have turned out like this.
"There are more than two thousand people who chose to side with you. The result is still acceptable. Anyway, these eight hundred people will all die in the end. It doesn't make any difference whether they die in your hands or not." Qi Yangchen felt the coldness from Shi Hao's body and secretly transmitted this message.
Then, his gaze crossed the arena and looked at the silent Lu Xing. He said, "The matters of the outer sect have already been dealt with. I'll have to trouble you to escort these eight hundred people to Myriad Peak Cliff. Remember, the pavilion master has ordered that those who enter Myriad Peak Cliff are not to be taken half a step outside without his permission."
"I am a law enforcement disciple. When it comes to carrying out the law, it isn't Sword Master Yangchen's turn to instruct me." How could Lu Xing not know the meaning behind Qi Yangchen's words? After mocking him, he took a step forward and immediately left with Ning Lefan, Lu Ling, and the others.
