"Furthermore,"
"According to Hidden Guard intelligence, Nangong Yu has been extremely close with the Pei Family."
"Originally, when Pei Jing declared himself king and suppressed the three prefectures, it was with the support of Nangong Yu."
Gu Yi’s words did not surprise Gu Yang.
After all, at that time, Pei Jing’s momentum was fierce, commanding a vast army, with the court almost eradicated. For the Evil Suppression Bureau to remain in Nanyang County, the only option was to cooperate with Pei Jing.
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
It was only after the fall of Pei Jing that the Taixuan Dynasty took the opportunity to take back control of the authority of Nanyang Prefecture.
However,
Even so,
The court still failed to truly control the entire Nanyang County but only half of it.
Gu Yun said, "In light of this, the assassination attempt on His Majesty by Nangong Yu might indeed be related to the Pei Family."
"This is to be expected."
Gu Yang scoffed dismissively.
"With the death of Pei Jing, I already have an unending feud with the Pei Family. It would be unusual if the Pei Family made no moves at all."
As for who might have instigated Nangong Yu to act, the possibility of it being the Pei Family did not surprise Gu Yang in the least.
After all,
If the Pei Family were behind this, then everything would make sense.
The Pei Family controls Nanyang County.
Even without the incident involving Pei Jing, with the Guangyang Army now invading Nanyang County, the Pei Family would not turn a blind eye.
Following that,
Gu Yang went on to say, "The current issue is the Tianyang Sword Sect. Keep a close watch on them through the Hidden Guard; as an Immortal Sect, Tianyang Sword Sect surely cannot sit by idly and do nothing!"
Since his arrival in Nanyang County, the Tianyang Sword Sect had only sent one Master to assassinate him, then there was no further action.
In Gu Yang’s view, this was unreasonable.
The Tianyang Sword Sect held deep hatred for him, it was unlikely they would take such minor action.
Moreover,
Given the foundation of the Tianyang Sword Sect as an Immortal Sect, they couldn’t possibly only have one Master.
Therefore, the quieter the Tianyang Sword Sect was, the worse the feeling it gave Gu Yang.
"My subordinates have already sent people to monitor the Tianyang Sword Sect. I believe any move they make cannot escape the eyes and ears of the Hidden Guard!"
Gu Yi spoke as he clasped his fist.
But just as his voice fell, a Hidden Guard scout hurriedly reported.
"Your Majesty, a message has been delivered from the Tianyang Sword Sect by a Hidden Guard, for Your Majesty to examine!"
As he spoke,
The individual had already handed over a sealed letter to Gu Yang.
The latter opened the letter and after a moment, his expression turned dark.
Afterward,
Gu Yang passed the letter down, and said with an icy voice, "You all have a look as well!"
Seeing the dark expression on Gu Yang’s face, many commanders exchanged glances, discerning a hint of gravity in each other’s eyes.
As the letter was passed from hand to hand, someone immediately burst out in anger.
"The Tianyang Sword Sect has such ruthless tactics!"
"These Immortal Sects are truly parasites of the world!"
Hearing the curses of the crowd, Gu Yun also looked at the letter that reached him, his face darkening instantly.
"Massacring a city!"
"The Tianyang Sword Sect’s actions are unforgivable!"
The content of the letter detailed the Tianyang Sword Sect’s collusion with the Pei Family to massacre a city and sacrifice its citizens.
Despite how secretly these deeds were carried out, there truly were no impermeable walls under the heavens.
When someone escaped, the news naturally leaked out.
Even if the Tianyang Sword Sect silenced those who fled in time, the Hidden Guard learned of it, and thus the matter was directly reported back.
"It’s said that five hundred years ago, an Evil Spirit of Disaster Level emerged in Blood Mountain Mansion, ravaging an entire prefecture, with countless beings perishing, including many noble families and martial arts sects that were also destroyed by this Evil Spirit."
"Only later on did the powerful fighters of the Tianyang Sword Sect join forces with the personnel of the Evil Suppression Bureau, at a great cost, to barely seal this Evil Spirit within Blood Mountain Mansion."
"Now that the Tianyang Sword Sect is conducting blood sacrifices in various cities, they may be planning a suicidal counterattack!"
After his initial fury, Gu Yun calmed down and revealed some secrets from five hundred years ago.
To ordinary people, five hundred years represented several lifetimes and thus, the events of that ancient era were not well known by many.
But it was different for the Divine Martial Sect.
As a martial arts sect that had lasted for ten thousand years, the Divine Martial Sect had records of events that took place throughout the Nine States.
Not to mention,
the commotion regarding the Blood Mountain Mansion case was significant, as the emergence of a Disaster Level Evil Spirit was enough to cause great disturbances.
After all, even the weakest of the Disaster Level Evil Spirits was comparable to a True Intent Master, and those stronger could be juxtaposed with Martial Arts Grandmasters and even magicians in the Transformation Realm.
The truly top-tier Disaster Level Evil Spirits were even difficult opponents for the powerhouses in the Transformation Realm.
Just like the Evil Buddha from the Nine Curves Road of Guangyang Prefecture in the past.
In Gu Yun’s eyes,
that Evil Buddha
was at least on par with the peak existences of the Transformation Realm, if not stronger.
Today’s Evil Spirit from Blood Mountain Mansion, even if not as strong as the Evil Buddha, was probably not far off; such an Evil Spirit’s revival would surely be a major trouble.
Gu Yang’s expression was ice-cold, "It seems that the Tianyang Sword Sect is seeking mutual destruction!"
"It’s just a pity that this king is not one to compromise easily; the Tianyang Sword Sect, along with the Pei Family’s acts of city slaughter, shall not be easily forgiven by me."
So what if the Evil Spirit is revived.
Even if the Evil Spirit of Blood Mountain Mansion was more formidable, Gu Yang was fearless in his heart.
This was because he had the support of Gu Qingfeng behind him.
The Evil Slayer Blade he carried with him was Gu Yang’s ultimate source of confidence.
Moreover,
as things had progressed to this stage,
both parties were already irreconcilable.
At this point, even if Gu Yang harbored apprehensions, he had no choice but to go all out and exterminate the Tianyang Sword Sect and the Pei Family.
"Send orders to the other armies immediately to quicken their pace, but for now, avoid the areas of the Pei Family, the Tianyang Sword Sect, and Blood Mountain Mansion."
Finally,
Gu Yang issued another command.
The Tianyang Sword Sect, the Pei Family, and Blood Mountain Mansion were not challenges that the others could handle.
Nowadays, with a million-strong army divided into several fronts, dealing with other rebel armies was not a problem, but confronting these three forces was still insufficient.
In Gu Yang’s view,
only he himself, leading the main army, could confront these three.
"In addition, prepare immediately for my orders to attack the Tianyang Sword Sect directly!"
Gu Yang said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, all the generals clasped their fists and accepted their orders.
Once everyone had left, Gu Yang kept Gu Yi behind.
"Gu Yi, send a pigeon message immediately, informing our father of what has occurred in Nanyang County; any news, have the Hidden Guard there report back at once!"
Gu Yang no longer displayed the composure he had in front of the others, his expression turning much more solemn.
City massacre!
The Evil Spirit sealed in Blood Mountain Mansion!
All these messages were indicative of the Tianyang Sword Sect’s readiness for mutual destruction.
For safety’s sake, Gu Yang had to send this message back, letting Gu Qingfeng be aware.
