Chapter 1255 - 346: The Feast at Hongmen—Well Said! (Part 5)
"So, is this what you call cowardice? Perhaps you all misunderstand the word cowardice."
The City Lord was in tears, his heart filled with bitterness. He felt deeply moved upon hearing Yuchi’s words.
Truly, choosing to side with the Jiangnan United Commerce Association at this moment, choosing to follow in its steps, this is for the people.
Yet, he still didn’t understand why he had this resolve. Could it be the soul of a mortal hidden within his own?
Yuchi, surrounded by the silent crowd, his expression darkened, extended his thumb and index finger:
"The second thing, do you perhaps misunderstand surrounding me?"
"Why do you think someone like me, who wasn’t killed by you from the start, would now be easily killed by you?"
"Oh, among cultivators, this is perhaps more dominantly referred to as a slay."
"So I’m curious about how you believe this. Why, when you turn your face against me, do you persistently think that I’m a lamb to be slaughtered by you?"
"Is there not even a tiny bit of uncertainty, even a little curiosity and doubt?"
"Why did I come here with Chen Guangsheng?"
"Did I not foresee the situation here?"
"Did I not directly seek aid from within Jiangnan, doesn’t this indicate something to some extent?"
Yuchi was truly at a loss with these people.
He is a peace-loving person, but there’s always someone playing fancy tricks, which he finds out of his control.
The crowd was silent.
After Yuchi finished speaking, he stood up.
As he stood, everyone around slapped their chairs and stood up too!
Yuchi: "..."
What? So aggressive? Still so aggressive? What are you doing here? Fighting? Completely speechless.
"You won’t leave today." Chen Weiran already spoke with a lot of malice.
"Alright." Yuchi’s gaze then fell on the cute little Yin Shuang, "Shuang’Er, are you afraid of blood?"
Yin Shuang: "Hehe!"
Yuchi also laughed, "Well then, go ahead, leave none in this room except for the City Lord."
Yin Shuang: "Got it!"
Responding, Yin Shuang slowly let her hands drop to her sides, her silver hair seemed to come alive.
The silver hair then condensed into two spikes gripped in her hands, and she suddenly charged towards Chen Weiran.
Chen Weiran was still bewildered.
Thinking, could such a little girl really kill me?
Others heard Yuchi’s words, and they couldn’t help but want to laugh! Has this man truly gone mad?
At this time putting all his hopes on a child?
What!
Can this child defy the heavens?
However, with the assistance of Yuchi’s hidden spiritual qi, now for Yin Shuang, wiping out a mere Core Formation Stage thief was like child’s play.
How playful children ruin the rapeseed flowers with a tree branch, that’s just how Yin Shuang started attacking!
And then there was nothing more to follow.
A silver wind appeared in the council chamber, and when it returned to Yuchi’s back, Yin Shuang shook her blood-stained hair tips, disdainfully using tea to wash the few red-streaked strands.
As for those cultivators who hadn’t realized how it all happened, they stood blankly in the council chamber, then one by one their heads rolled to the ground.
All dead.
Alright then.
This should do it.
Had to come to this.
No other way.
Yuchi then looked at the City Lord, and upon seeing the City Lord’s horrified expression, he coughed, jolting the stunned City Lord back to himself.
The City Lord’s body trembled, looking again at the situation before him, his old face turned greatly pale!
Dead! All dead! Truly all dead!
His body weakened, collapsing directly onto the chair, which was about to topple over.
No choice, Yin Shuang had to spare a moment to use her white little foot to steady the chairback, stabilizing the whole chair.
"Rest easy for now."
Yuchi at this point didn’t bother with what the City Lord thought.
He pressed the bodies onto the ground while they were still warm, all were made to kneel there, each holding their swords and sabers firmly in hand.
Once everything was done, Yuchi went to the confused City Lord’s side, "Internally, they committed suicide out of guilt, externally, they got a promotion and gained wealth, you see."
The City Lord still hadn’t fully recovered, his face ashen while watching the man before him jestingly speak, then heard Yuchi calling out to the outside:
"Come see, look, Master Chen*2 and Master Yuan*2, plus a nameless one*1, they all committed suicide out of guilt!"
The City Lord: "..."
A celestial being, a live celestial being, pleading to be a little more perfunctory, begging you to speak a little more casually!
This day, for the Four Major Institutions of Jiangzhou City, was destined to be an extraordinary and extremely terrifying day.
Inexplicably, unnoticed, the Sect Leaders of these three great institutions suddenly just ceased,
Those who were guarding outside the Celestial Capital Department saw their leaders all gone, they instantly scattered like birds and beasts,
Good gracious, their leaders were kneeling on the ground, holding knives, claiming to atone with death?
