Chapter 769 – The Past
This was an inconspicuous little sect in the Jinling. Because the Jinling was too big, even if a murder had occurred here not long ago, no one would immediately pay attention to it. Firstly, because the Great Western Holy See was extremely lax in managing the challenges between the sects, as long as it was not too excessive, the officials would not interfere. Furthermore, who in the Jinling would still have the heart to stare at such a small sect? In such a chaotic time, even if a small sect like this were to be annihilated, there would be no sound.
An Zheng looked at the middle-aged man who looked familiar, and slightly squinted his eyes.
Those who were familiar with An Zheng knew that when An Zheng squinted his eyes, it was usually the time to move his murderous intent.
“You must be Chen Liuxi from the Hollow Jade Temple.”
The middle-aged man looked at An Zheng with contempt, and laughed: “That’s rare, no wonder even Daxi Shenghuang has a whole new level of respect for you. To be able to kill two of my disciples, your cultivation is indeed worthy of pride. But your mind is hard to say, you think this is very arrogant and domineering? Then, just relying on you alone, you will completely annihilate the power of my Infinite Palace from the Jinling? ”
He smiled and said, “Young man, have you read too many novels?”
An Zheng looked around, there were not many people in the courtyard, only two hundred. It seemed that the clothes these people were wearing were very casual, unlike a sect with strict rules. Before An Zheng entered, he had already scanned the courtyard with his Heaven’s Eyes. He could roughly confirm what cultivation level the people in the courtyard were at. The most difficult person to deal with was this middle-aged man. Even Heaven’s Eyes could not see him clearly.
“Infinite Palace?”
An Zheng asked: “Where did you come from?”
The middle-aged man said: “Are you still planning to fight your way to our headquarters? What a great ambition … Chen Liuxi, has your parents ever taught you to bow when you see your elders? Have you ever been taught to be polite in other people’s homes? ”
An Zheng asked, “When you asked me this question, did you ever think that you would be unworthy of your parents?”
The middle-aged man’s expression changed suddenly. “Forget it, I’ll start with you today. My Infinite Palace will shine brilliantly in the Jinling, and you can take the lead. This old man is Zhou Shangyan, Left Protector of the Infinite Palace. After killing you, there might be no one in the Jinling who doesn’t recognize this old man. ”
He waved his hand. “All of you should clearly see how this old man killed!”
The people around them started to gather around, and stood a little further away to watch. They clearly did not dare approach, and no matter how they looked at it, it did not seem like they were afraid of An Zheng, but rather this old man called Zhou Shangyan.
An Zheng’s Heaven’s Eyes looked around the outside of the small sect. Seeing that no one was approaching, An Zheng asked straightforwardly, “A few decades ago, a group of people appeared in the Great Xi River South and threatened to exterminate all of the sects. Furthermore, all of the sects they challenged were exterminated. These people all had the tattoo of a black scorpion, and at that time they all claimed to be the Heavenly Justice Sect. Back then, when you were suppressed and hunted down by the Great Western Ming Fa Si, you disappeared and came back out decades later. Was it because you received news that the Great Western Ming Fa Si was no longer around? ”
Zhou Shangyan’s face clearly changed, but his eyes turned cold: “I didn’t expect a young man like you to know so much, and I’m not afraid of you knowing that. That’s right, we were called the Heavenly Reality Sect back then, but that is already the past. Dozens of years ago, there was that beast called Fang Zheng in Ming Fa Si, so we should temporarily avoid his attack, but now that Fang Zheng is dead and the Ming Fa Si is gone, who can stop us from rising up once again? ”
An Zheng laughed, “It’s good that you have admitted to it. Back then, the Ming Fa Si’s first seat, An Zheng, once said that none of your people are innocent.
“Whaity.”
Zhou Shangyan said, “That idiot died first. Otherwise, I would have personally pulled his head off this time. The reason he had been powerful was not because of the support of the Holy See. Now, the Saint King had recruited wise warriors, and all the powerful sects could serve Da Xi. They could all enter the Holy See to serve as officials … So what if Fang Zheng was still alive? Could he be stronger than the Saint King? ”
An Zheng shrugged his shoulders, “When I told you these people should not have been angered, but rather told you a fact.”
Zhou Shangyan suddenly had a premonition and turned his head around, only to find that not far away, quite a few of his subordinates had already fallen to the ground. However, he couldn’t see anyone around him. He only saw his subordinates fall down one after the other. From the very beginning, this slaughter was sudden and decisive without a shred of mercy. The key point was that he didn’t see who did it until Zhou Shangyan found out, and his men who were standing in the front didn’t even notice that the people behind them were already dead.
“Chen Liuxi, you will regret this!”
Zhou Shangyan raised his finger and pointed at An Zheng as he shouted angrily.
An Zheng shrugged his shoulders: “I am regretting it, and attacked a little too early. It seems like your Clan Master isn’t in the Jinling yet, so we only killed a few small fries. However, this was also my warning to him … Da Xi no longer has the Ming Fa Si, no Fang Zheng, but there are still many other cultivators in the martial arts world who uphold justice, whether it’s in the past, present, or future, you guys will not succeed. ”
“Die!”
Zhou Shangyan fiercely rushed forward, his fist striking towards An Zheng’s face.
Boom!
Suddenly, a purple light fell from the sky. The purple light collided head-on with Zhou Shangyan’s fist, and Zhou Shangyan couldn’t help but take a few steps back. The power contained within the purple light was so great that it frightened him.
Qi Tian, who was carrying a steel rod, descended from mid air. His left hand trembled a little: “You do have some strength, but with your meager cultivation, you are still far from being able to behave so atrociously in the Jinling.”
An Zheng said: “Monkey Bro, I can do it myself, I still have some things to settle with these people.”
Zhou Shangyan felt that something was wrong today, and subconsciously, he turned around to look. All of his hundred disciples were lying on the ground, and a young man wituge black sickle on his shoulder had appeared, standing there and coldly looking at him. That person carried the aura of death with him, as if his life could be reaped at any time. The young man behind these three young men seemed to have come from hell, and the iciness on his body even caused him to feel chills.
The guy on the other side who looked like he had hair all over his body looked like a stone spirit … Those with some experience in the martial arts world knew that there were thousands of beasts in the world. They could be divided into three groups, Demon, Essence, and Strange. People were just used to turning all species other than humans that could be cultivated into demon beasts, but in reality, demon beasts were just one of a kind. Various animals could cultivate and call themselves demon beasts, such as plants, stones, and other things that could turn the essence of the world into spirit beasts. In theory, a refined beast was much more difficult to shape than a demonic beast, so oncefined beast appeared, ordinary beasts would not be its match.
The third method was to use various types of qi to become monsters.
Stone essence was the king of the monsters. This was because things like stones were cold and hard, and absorbing the essence of the sun and moon was also the hardest. Once it truly matures, even in this day when the heaven and earth origin energy is extremely thin, it would at least be at the peak of the Lower Celestial Stage. However, Qi Tian had been severely injured previously, so his power had not recovered at all.
It looked like the most ordinary person was the first Chen Liuxi to enter, but although it looked normal, the other two people were evidently the leader!
Something was not right!
Zhou Shangyan felt that he had meough opponent this time, and he regretted it a little. He shouldn’t have not listened to the Sect Leader’s words. Before entering the Jinling, the Sect Leader had instructed them not to act rashly without his permission. However, he could not hold himself back, thinking that as long as he could get rid of the Hollow Jade Temple, there would be no one who did not know of Infinite Palace’s reputation in the capital.
“I’ll do it myself.”
An Zheng said these words, and then walked forward a few steps.
“Forty-two years ago, the people known as the Heavenly Justice Sect started challenging the various sects in Da Xi city. However, they did not dare to provoke the true big sects, and only dared to go to the small sects to do evil. Wherever they went, the challenged sects would be annihilated and their treasures and artifacts would be swept clean. Because you all are too ruthless and never leave anyone alive, it was very difficult to track you down in the Ming Fa Si at the start. ”
“I found some clues later on, but that was only during the competition between the martial sects. Without proof that your sect was exterminated, even the Ming Fa Si would not be able to do anything to you. But... Forty-one years ago, your Celestial Sect started a massacre in the prefectural city of Chang’an. Almost all of the twenty-three thousand people in the county were killed by you guys. “The reason is because the daughter of Chang’an County’s magistrate is born with a Dao Body. As long as you take her virgin form, you can absorb the power of this Dao Body.”
“It’s because of this that the Ming Fa Si found some evidence of your crimes and started to capture the people who were chasing after your Heavenly Justice Sect. However, it was from that day onwards that you had hidden yourselves. But what else did you do before you went into hiding? ”
“You guys thought that this matter was too big, and probably could not be hidden, so you pretended to be the county magistrate and his family at their home in Chang An County, and when the Ming Fa Si’s people rushed over, you suddenly launched a sneak attack. An entire hundred people were attacked and killed by the Ming Fa Si’s ruling in Chang An County. Not only that, you have also stripped the corpses of the one hundred Ming Fa Si judges, then hung them on the city wall … You haven’t forgotten about this yet, right? ”
Zhou Shangyan subconsciously took a step back, “Who the hell are you?”
An Zheng walked forward step by step: “Who I am is not important. What is important is that no matter who knows about this, they will not let you guys go. As long as you are a cultivator with a sense of justice, even if you are not your opponent, you will not give in in front of you. How did you exterminate the whole family in the first place? Each time you entered the house in the name of a visit, and when you entered the door, you started killing people when they weren’t looking. Or you could bring some good magical equipment and come over, hoping to exchange with them. When they take out their magical equipment, you can immediately take action. And so on, you’ve done enough. ”
“Back then, you all claimed that only success has no process. Thus, when I heard your two subordinates talking in front of my Hollow Jade Temple’s entrance, I knew who you were.” The people who once died a horrible death are waiting for you to give them an explanation. ”
An Zheng took a step forward: “I’ll take this explanation on their behalf!”
