Chapter 1559: Plain Clothes in Brocade Embroidery
Of course, the Jin Xiu Grand Office wasn’t just going to stand by and do nothing. They dispatched their army and a massive number of elites in hopes of annihilating these riotous sects and jianghu factions in one go. This would allow them to restore the order of Jin Xiu and intimidate other villains.
However, things went completely against their expectations. When the ultimate clash happened, the jianghu factions who should be fighting for themselves suddenly came together as one to resist the government forces. Among them were many powerful elites including Great Truemen and Great Grandmasters such as the sect master of the Scarlet Practice Divine Sect, Lady Scarlet Practice; the Villa Lord of Seven Killing Villa, Seven Killing Shentu; the Nine-fingered Demon Old Man, the Lifetaking Scholar, the Fat Dragon and Thin Tiger, and more.
As a result, the government force was crushed by the jianghu factions and sustained massive damage.
Even the Half-Sage, Jin Xiu Grand Prince, had sustained heavy damage under the combined assault of the villainous champions and was supposedly on the brink of death.
In short, the Jin Xiu Grand Prince Office lost much of their strength and all of their reputation, while the villains and heretics were more rampant than ever before. Right now, Jin Xiu was basically taken over by various jianghu factions and overflowing with demons.
Every day, countless factions fought each other to the death over territory and profit.
Every day, jianghu people sought each other out for revenge and other matters. Their corpses littered the streets, and their bodies were left to rot in the open.
Every day, countless innocent people were robbed or humiliated. Many of them lost their homes and had no one to rely on.
......
However wonderful Jin Xiu was before, it was that much chaotic now. However prosperous Jin Xiu was before, it was that much bleaker now.
That said, there was one Taoist monastery that stood out among the chaotic city of Jin Xiu.
Every morning, the sounds of chanting and chime stones would come from the monastery.
