Chapter 104 The world is shaken!
Have you heard?
"The people from the Cangyuan Sword Sect and the Eastern Depot were killed in Juyang City, even 'Azure Thunder Swordsman' Dongfang Yang is dead!"
"How is this possible? Dongfang Yang is a third-grade Grandmaster!"
"Exactly, who can kill him?"
"Why not? I heard it was Xiao Bieli who did it. Experts from Juyang City saw with their own eyes that the people from Zhenwu Hall and the Desert King Zhuomuer brought the body back to Zhenwu Hall. The body was cut in half. Who else could it be but Xiao Bieli?"
"So? Xiao Bieli has become a Grandmaster?"
"I don't think so...it must have been a master from the Blood-Clad Pavilion who taught Xiao Bieli to make a move!"
"..."
One day later.
News spread that Dongfang Yang, the "Azure Thunder Swordsman" of the Cangyuan Sword Sect, Zhuo Qingyun, the "Four Directions Sword," Chen Qianfu, the "Eastern Depot Commander," and Song Jia, the "Jade Blade," had been killed in Juyang City.
No one knows who the killer is; it is suspected to be the work of the Blood-Clad Tower assassins!
Because the deaths of 'Azure Thunder Swordsman' Dongfang Yang and Chen Qianfu were the same as those of Fairy Yunyue and others—split in two with a single slash!
A few days ago, witnessed by many people, Xiao Bieli also used that middle-part sword technique!
But the two who died were grandmasters!
It's unbelievable that Xiao Bieli did this!
……
Tatata!
The experts from Zhenwu Hall and Dongchang arrived in Juyang City together.
They didn't stop at all on the way, heading straight for the Zhenwu Hall where the corpses were kept.
The deaths of Chen Qianfu, a commander of the Eastern Depot, and two Grandmasters, Dongfang Yang, in the Yanzhou desert were a very serious matter, which is why they rushed here overnight.
"Go away!"
"Take me to where the bodies are!"
A group of people filed in and stormed into the Zhenwu Hall.
Leading them were Lü Zhen, the chief executioner of the Eastern Depot, and Sima Yuan, the head of the Zhenwu Hall in Yanzhou.
Both of them are Grandmasters, especially Sima Yuan, who is at the peak of the Grandmaster level.
However, he was not a member of the Sixth Prince's lineage, so he did not come to the desert after the Cangyuan Sword Sect came to Yanzhou. Now that this has happened, he has no choice but to come.
Wearing gloves as thin as cicada wings, Lü Zhen examined the corpse for a moment, then stood up and said:
"Most of them died from poisoning!"
"Only four fourth-rank grandmasters, along with Chen Qianfu and Dongfang Yang, died at the hands of a master swordsman!"
He then pointed to the short old man's corpse on the ground and said:
"This body died a little later!"
"But it's still poisoning!"
"We haven't yet determined what kind of poison it is."
There are too many poisons that can kill a fifth-rank official. He wasn't a master of poisons, so he couldn't tell the difference in a short time.
Sima Yuan frowned and said:
"A single slash splits him in the middle!"
"Even a Grandmaster couldn't dodge it. The person who wielded the sword must have reached the realm of no sword, and their cultivation level is probably at the peak of the Grandmaster level!"
Was the person who made the move Xiao Bieli?
Lü Zhen shook his head and said:
"do not know!"
"If the one who made the move was Xiao Bieli, then that would be terrifying!"
The Grandmaster, not yet eighteen, had no idea how the imperial court would react.
……
The news quickly spread to the twenty-four states of the Great Qian Dynasty.
The world is shocked!
However, most people do not believe that the person who made the move was Xiao Bieli, and are more inclined to believe that it was a master in the Blood Robe Tower who learned the same sword technique as Xiao Bieli.
……
Cangyuan Sword Sect.
boom!
An incredibly terrifying sword intent erupted from the back mountain.
This attracted the attention of countless Cangyuan Sword Sect disciples.
"That place... is where the Grand Elder is in seclusion!"
"It seems the Grand Elder knows about Senior Brother Zhuo's matter!"
"I'm afraid it's not just Senior Brother Zhuo, but also Uncle Dongfang..."
"..."
Countless Cangyuan Sword Sect disciples were looking towards the back mountain.
At the same time, they were also holding their breath.
Over the years, their Cangyuan Sword Sect has become the leader of the Nine Sects and Six Gangs. No matter where they go, all the major martial arts forces treat them with respect.
But in the six months since Xiao Bieli suddenly appeared, first Senior Brother Xue Zhou died at Xiao Bieli's hands.
Now even their Cangyuan Sword Sect's number one disciple, Senior Brother Zhuo, has died at Xiao Bieli's hands!
What a shame!
On the back mountain, a figure appeared at the place where the Great Elder Dong Yuan was in seclusion.
"Head!"
"Senior Brother Head!"
"Senior Brother Head!"
The Cangyuan Sword Sect elders, who were guarding the place where the Grand Elder was in seclusion, immediately bowed and greeted the figure.
The newcomer was none other than Yun Canghai, the sect leader of the Cangyuan Sword Sect, also known as "Canghai Yijian" (meaning "One Sword of the Vast Ocean").
It was also because of Yun Canghai's existence that their Cangyuan Sword Sect had the potential to become the leader of the Nine Sects and Six Gangs.
"You all go down first, I need to talk to my martial uncle!"
Yun Canghai flicked his sleeves,
Everyone quickly retreated.
With a full head of white hair, but a sword aura emanating from him reaching the heavens, Dong Yuan stepped out from the small courtyard, looked at Yun Canghai, and said coldly:
"The Blood-Clad Tower killed my disciple!"
"Sect Leader, are you trying to stop me from leaving the mountain?"
Dongfang Yang was his disciple. Although he did not approve of taking sides with the Sixth Prince so early, he did not stop him. As long as the sect leader did not take sides, it would not be considered that his Cangyuan Sword Sect had taken sides.
But things are different now; his apprentice is dead.
This time, he will make the Blood Robe Tower pay for its blood debt!
Yun Canghai shook his head and said:
"I had no intention of stopping you from going down the mountain, Uncle!"
"However, I have received information that five of the Blood-Clad Tower's core assassins are still alive, including 'Demon Monk' Bukong!"
Upon hearing the name "Demon Monk" Bukong, Dong Yuan's killing intent dissipated.
As a master who has lived for over two hundred years, he knows far more than ordinary people.
The "Demon Monk" Bukong was born in Lanke Temple, one of the two Buddhist temples. Due to ideological differences, he left Lanke Temple and joined Xueyi Tower.
Ninety years ago, during the siege of the Blood-Clad Tower, a first-rank master died at the hands of Bu Kong.
If Bu Kong were still alive... going down the mountain now would indeed be a bit reckless!
"Even if my martial uncle is prepared to make a move, he should wait until the imperial court makes the first move!"
……
Jingzhou.
The Sixth Prince's Mansion.
Snapped!
A delicate vase was swept to the ground and shattered into pieces.
The sixth prince, dressed in a python robe, sat in the main seat, exuding a chilling aura that made people afraid to look directly at him.
"So many people died trying to kill Xiao Bieli!"
"And Xiao Bieli isn't dead yet!"
"The Eastern Depot and the Cangyuan Sword Sect are both a bunch of useless trash!"
The people sitting below dared not utter a sound.
This time, the Sixth Prince only decided to destroy the Blood Robe Tower to please His Majesty because he had received some news from the palace that His Majesty was dissatisfied with the resurgence of the Blood Robe Tower.
Even though the Blood-Clad Tower was severely damaged in the battle ninety years ago, its strength is still considerable.
I just received news from Taizhou that the Ouyang family patriarch personally fought against the 'demon monk' Bukong and was injured by him.
Now we have received news that the people sent by the Cangyuan Sword Sect and the Eastern Depot to Yanzhou have all died.
Having failed to gain any merit and suffered heavy losses, it's no wonder the Sixth Prince was in a bad mood.
It's best not to say anything at this time, or you'll bring bad luck!
"Is there no place for Xiao Bieli?" The Sixth Prince glanced at everyone present and asked in a deep voice.
Ma Hong, the commander of the Prince's Palace guards, bowed and said:
"'Eagle King' Ximen Qing has gone to Yanzhou, but he has not found Xiao Bieli's location. Even the Blood Clothes Tower of Yanzhou has disappeared overnight, and it is suspected that it has withdrawn from Yanzhou."
"The patriarch of the Ximen family also went to Taizhou to search for the 'demon monk's' whereabouts."
"The Ximen family has sent word that they hope the Sixth Prince can go to the Imperial Observatory. Even if the Imperial Observatory doesn't take action, they can ask the Heavenly Mystery Valley to send an expert skilled in divination to determine Xiao Bieli's whereabouts."
After a long pause, the Sixth Prince finally spoke in a deep voice:
"In that case, I'll go to the Imperial Observatory!"
