J inzhou City.
Lifeless Sect stronghold.
“Elder, Flower Mother can’t come today. She said that her progress with the Liang family’s useless person is going very fast. After all, that waste has been in and out of Flower Mother’s mansion a few times in the previous days. So, for the sake of better completing the mission and preventing the waste from going to her at any time, she said she won’t come for the time being.”
“In that case, it’s also fine. If it weren’t for Xia Zhiqiu’s hound, we wouldn’t have to be so careful. It is still better to be cautious now.”
However, for some reason, the elder of the No-Life Sect always felt uneasy in his heart, but there had been no abnormalities recently. Could there be a problem with the head church?
But in the next moment, the Elder of the No-Life Sect suddenly stood up, looking at a certain direction outside the window, his eyes full of killing intent, “Visitors are here.”
The other people were suddenly startled by his words. Before they could react, they saw numerous rockets shot in, with fire oil on them. In a short time, the whole mansion caught fire.
The Elder of the No-Life Sect and others had already rushed out of the room, but the outside of the mansion had already been heavily surrounded by the government office. County Lord Xia Zhiqiu was even watching from a hundred meters away, not moving at all.
And those leading the charge were Zheng Wanchun, Liang Ying, Liang Ping, and Wu Chang. At this moment, they were directing the operation from all sides to ensure it was foolproof.
“Damn!”
At this time, how could the elder not know that he and others had already been exposed? But apart from a few core members of the church, even ordinary members of the Lifeless Sect did not know about this place.
The elder couldn’t help but look at the people beside him. At the moment, their nerves were tense and their faces full of urgency, which didn’t seem like a pretense. It meant that they didn’t leak the information.
So, there was only one person left…
Flower Mother!
“Certainly, it must be Flower Mother who leaked the information. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the court’s hounds came to kill us right on the day she is not here?”
At this time, the constables of the County Government Office and the elite disciples of the Liang and Wu families were fighting fiercely with the guards of the Lifeless Sect. However, with the constables being more determined in their actions, they killed their enemies like breaking branches.
At this time, several leaders of the halls wanted to fight desperately but were stopped by the Elder of the No-Life Sect. He had encountered worse situations before. It’s no use rushing, as long as there are green mountains, there’s no need to worry about having firewood to burn.
“Break through, don’t linger.”
The several people from the Lifeless Sect moved quickly, their fighting experience was extremely rich, and they soon found the weakest part of the besieging army.
“The No-Life Evil Cult is indeed hard to deal with,” Xia Zhiqiu had also noticed that the situation was not right. The other party simply didn’t want to fight at all, only to break through and escape. In that case…
“Everyone, close the net!”
Xia Zhiqiu pointed far away in the direction where the elder was breaking through. Zheng Wanchun, Liang Ying, and the other two did not hesitate and rushed over.
Liang Ping was eager to achieve merit, so he was the closest to the front, but the next moment, his face changed dramatically.
“Postnatal Ninth Layer!”
“Uncle!”
The change happened too fast for anyone to react. Who could have thought there would be a Postnatal Ninth Layer Expert disguised as an ordinary high-level martial artist in the Lifeless Sect? It was so similar to Xia Zhiqiu’s disguise back then.
Fortunately, the Elder of the No-Life Sect didn’t want to fight. Liang Ping barely managed to avoid taking the brunt of the palm wind, and his life was spared.
Liang Ying let out a roar, but Zheng Wanchun and the others stopped immediately, retreating instead of advancing. Xia Zhiqiu had already come to his senses and was finally taking action, rushing towards this place quickly.
“Remnants of the No-Life Sect, die!”
Seeing Xia Zhiqiu finally take action, Zheng Wanchun and the others followed suit. However, Xia Zhiqiu also felt some regret in his heart.
He was ultimately too impatient, and if he had arranged things more appropriately, this oversight would not have happened. But he didn’t have much time in Jinzhou, so he had no choice.
If he could add today’s merit of eradicating the rebels to his record, there would be no one in the court who could find fault with him once he entered the capital in the future.
However, what was the origin of the young man who let the little beggar report the news? They would have to investigate after this. The man might not be as simple as he seemed.
The No-Life Sect elder dared not underestimate Xia Zhiqiu, and for a short while, their battle was fierce with sand and stone flying around, making it impossible for anyone to approach them.
However, Xia Zhiqiu caught sight of Liang Ying and the others’ predicament from the corner of his eye and became anxious. These remnants of the No-Life Sect were truly sly as foxes. Liang Ping was severely injured, and although Zheng Wanchun and the others temporarily had no life-threatening danger, they were still at a disadvantage.
If things continued like this, these No-Life Sect remnants might really escape, and he would fail miserably, leaving a stain on his record as the County Lord.
Thinking of this, Xia Zhiqiu no longer hesitated, “Masters Xuan Ji and Xuan Nan, I request your assistance immediately.”
Xuan Ji and Xuan Nan!?
Monks from Jinshan Temple?
At this moment, the No-Life Sect elder was suddenly shocked upon hearing this. He feared that today’s disaster wasn’t caused by Flower Mother but the monks of Jinshan Temple.
Could it be that they wanted to use this opportunity to ally with the Prince of Ping’an’s Mansion to successfully clear their name?
Damn it!
Xuan Ji and Xuan Nan, hidden in the shadows, wore bitter smiles on their faces. If they had known this would happen, why would they have bothered to leave the mountain today?
They could only say that Jinshan Temple had indeed been careless recently, never expecting to be caught in Xia Zhiqiu’s open scheme. So, their relationship with Xia Zhiqiu was merely a stepping stone to this point?
Xuan Ji and Xuan Nan exchanged glances at this moment. They knew all too well that Xia Zhiqiu was not merely as gentle and elegant as he appeared; he was ruthless too when taking action. This time, they were probably expected to prove their loyalty.
Xuan Nan and Xuan Ji quickly made a decision. Given the No-Life Sect’s character, even if they didn’t take any action today, the sect would likely already have its sights set on Jinshan Temple.
Moreover, if the Dayan Dynasty truly focused its attention on Jinshan Temple, they would have no other choice but destruction.
Temporarily cooperating with the court was a better option. Compared to their previous relationship with the Prince of Ping’an’s Mansion, the No-Life Sect was a relatively minor issue.
With that thought, the two no longer hesitated. The next moment, they saw the two venerable monks instantly appear on the battlefield, and the No-Life Sect elder was furious at the sight.
“Damn baldies!”
Immediately, the situation at Zheng Wanchun’s side reversed. The No-Life Sect elder saw that there was no way to win. He mustered all his strength for one palm strike, hoping to repel Xia Zhiqiu even if it meant he would suffer internal injuries. The next moment, he turned around and fled without any hesitation, not caring about the other church members any longer.
There was nothing Xia Zhiqiu could do at this sight. A postnatal Ninth Layer Expert with virtually undamaged battle strength wanted to escape; he simply couldn’t stop it.
Back then, Yang Laifa was heavily wounded and weakened by more than half of his strength by the combined efforts of the Ancestors of the Liang and Wu Families before being killed by Xia Zhiqiu.
However, this time, it was not entirely fruitless. Looking at the surrounded No-Life Sect members, Xia Zhiqiu was cold and unemotional.
“Kill!”
But just then, an unexpected event occurred. As the No-Life Sect elder was about to escape the encirclement, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
Xuan Ji!
Yichun Building.
Liang Sheng stood by the window, looking at the distant fire that resembled brilliant fireworks, sighing in his heart. This time, he had become the final chess player.
Under various coincidental circumstances, he had set up a seemingly unrelated yet closely connected chess game involving Xia Zhiqiu, Jinshan Temple, and the No-Life Sect as his chess pieces. To be safe, he should also stage his own death and sever ties with this whirlpool.
As a result, only a few members of the No-Life Sect would likely escape, Jinshan Temple would be blamed, and no one would know about his killing of Flower Mother. No one would suspect him.
After all, what does a worn-out, “useless” old man like him have to do with a youthful informer?
Although the method was simple, it was extremely effective!
Flower Mother, after this, he would leave the world as a love-stricken person, which should be a fitting tribute to your efforts, right?
