Chapter 182 : Chapter 182
Chapter 182: Everyone in the Jianghu Was in Fear for Themselves, Vowing They Would Not Rest Until Cheng Yu Was Eliminated!
The next day.
Two martial artists were hurrying in the direction of the Army-Breaking Sect in Jingmen Circuit.
“Deputy Sect Master Huang, our Jingmen Circuit Branch has already arranged a plan to deal with that little whelp Cheng Yu. It will surely help our Army-Breaking Sect’s Jianghu reputation rise to an even higher level!”
“When the time comes, Deputy Sect Master Huang, you only need to lend us your presence and hold the line. The glorious reputation of suppressing an Imperial Hound will naturally be offered to you by all under heaven!”
“Only that would be worthy of your strength and your contributions to the Jianghu!”
Sun Yuan, the weaker of the two, who had a goatee, flattered him to the utmost.
The other man’s strength was extremely powerful.
He had impressively reached the Ninth Rank, a level rarely seen under heaven.
This was the deputy sect master of the Army-Breaking Sect’s main sect, a Supreme Expert ranked eighteenth on the Earth Ranking, Huang Guanjun.
“Mm. You handled this matter well.”
Huang Guanjun nodded.
A man of his lofty status had personally come to Jingmen Circuit because of the blood feud between his beloved disciple Zuo Yang and the Imperial Hound who had murdered his father.
However, he had not intended to repay blood with blood.
The battle records being spread about Cheng Yu.
Whether true or false, Huang Guanjun had felt his heart tremble when he heard them.
Therefore, he had originally only planned to intimidate Cheng Yu a little, which would count as giving his disciple an explanation.
Unexpectedly, his fellow sect members from the Jingmen Circuit Branch were rather resourceful, and had thought of using commoners to scheme against Cheng Yu.
In that case.
He could stand upon the high ground of righteousness and safely harvest some fame.
At that thought.
Huang Guanjun stroked his chin in satisfaction. He had to let everyone in the Jianghu under heaven know.
Cheng Yu, that little whelp, was arrogant.
But when facing the Army-Breaking Sect, and when facing an old-school powerhouse like Huang Guanjun.
He was still nothing more than this!
Just as he was feeling pleased, the two of them drew closer and closer to the Army-Breaking Sect in Jingmen Circuit.
Yet, at almost the same time, they smelled something wrong.
The smell of blood?!
What had happened?
Huang Guanjun frowned. “Something is wrong. Hurry and see what is going on!”
The two immediately sped up and rushed to the entrance of the Army-Breaking Sect branch.
There, they saw a scene they could never have anticipated no matter what.
Corpses were strewn all over the ground before the gate. Blood had gathered into streams and long since dried, giving off a nauseating stench of blood.
Sun Yuan’s eyes widened as he trembled all over. He hurriedly rushed over and began turning over corpse after corpse.
After seeing clearly who those corpses were.
He was immediately scared out of his wits and collapsed onto the ground.
“Ah!! How is this possible!” he screamed miserably.
“Sect Master Feng and the others were all killed!”
Sun Yuan had only left the sect for a short while to welcome Huang Guanjun. How had the place been bloodwashed and turned into this state?
If he had not left.
Would he not also have...
When Huang Guanjun saw that all the dead were members of the Army-Breaking Sect, and that quite a few experts of the Upper Three Ranks were among them, his beard bristled with shock and fury.
“What exactly happened? Someone actually dared to kill members of my Army-Breaking Sect!”
A terrifying aura erupted from his entire body, and a vivid, solid Qilin Phantom appeared behind him.
He grabbed Sun Yuan, who had been frightened senseless, and flew into the sect.
The moment they entered.
Shock and terror erupted once more.
The surroundings were a complete mess, chaotic beyond measure. Gold, silver, and treasures were scattered all over the ground, as though someone had searched the place in a disorderly fashion.
Huang Guanjun’s eyes widened. “The gold and silver are still here... Where is the Treasure Vault?”
Sun Yuan hurriedly replied, “O-Over there...”
When they rushed to the Treasure Vault and took a look, they discovered that it had already been looted clean.
The most precious weapons, pills, resources, and treasures had all vanished, while the heavy items had instead been thrown onto the ground.
They had looted the Army-Breaking Sect, yet had even disdained certain things for being inconvenient to carry.
Fury immediately surged into Huang Guanjun’s heart. This was simply too arrogant!
What did they take the Army-Breaking Sect for, daring to act like this in Jingmen Circuit?!
A terrifying pressure erupted along with his rage, shaking the Treasure Vault into even greater disorder.
“Who did this? Who exactly did this?!”
Amid his roar, muffled cries came from within.
“Mmph! Mmph!”
“Who is there?!”
Huang Guanjun looked toward the corner of the Treasure Vault and discovered several people whose mouths had been gagged, and who had been bound so that they could not move.
A group of ordinary people without strength?
“Who are these people?”
Sun Yuan’s eyes widened. He recognized them as the relatives and trusted aides of the martial artists in the sect. “These... These are our own people...”
Their own people?
Huang Guanjun stared, then suddenly thrust out his palm. Force erupted and snapped apart the ropes on those people.
“Tell me what happened here!”
The fake refugees were finally rescued. They hurriedly began kowtowing, weeping bitterly as they cried out in grief.
“That Cheng Yu is a demon! He bloodwashed the entire Army-Breaking Sect! He did not even spare a dog! he sobbed...”
Everything that had happened last night.
To ordinary people like them, it had been far too shocking.
Those powerful martial artists, who had originally been as noble as celestial gods, had been butchered by the Jinyiwei like pigs and dogs!
Through their weeping accusations and denunciations.
Huang Guanjun, whose eyes had reddened, understood the situation.
All of this had been done by Cheng Yu!
The Army-Breaking Sect had wanted to scheme against Cheng Yu, but in the end, he had wiped out one of their branches instead!
Beast!
“Cheng Yu, you little whelp! I swear I will tear you into ten thousand pieces!”
As the deputy sect master of the Army-Breaking Sect, Huang Guanjun was a great figure of high status and immense authority.
When had he ever seen the Army-Breaking Sect suffer such humiliation?
Moreover, the other party was a young Imperial Hound. This was simply extraordinary shame and disgrace!
However, although his fury had reached its peak.
Compared to Xiao Teng, who had lost all restraint after Dragon Blood rushed to his head, Huang Guanjun still maintained the bearing of a great figure and quickly calmed down.
He looked sinisterly at the fake refugees who were still kowtowing and weeping.
“What exactly is the situation with these people? Why are they here?”
“Because they were the ones Sect Master Feng arranged among the refugees to stir up trouble as part of the plan...”
The trembling Sun Yuan immediately answered.
Now, let alone the plan to threaten Cheng Yu with commoners, even Feng Yun and his own people were gone!
After Huang Guanjun finished listening, his expression turned savage as he nodded.
He ordered, “Spread the word. Cheng Yu, that little whelp, slaughtered innocent commoners in Jingmen Circuit. Our Army-Breaking Sect martial artists could not bear to watch, and because of that, he took his anger out on them and launched a sneak attack, wiping out the Jingmen Circuit Branch!”
He wanted to invert right and wrong, and make Cheng Yu suffer the wrath of the Jianghu!
Sun Yuan froze. “Ah?”
“And as for these people—my Army-Breaking Sect’s martial artists are all dead. What right do they have to live?”
Sun Yuan swallowed and nodded, then looked toward the fake refugees who were still crying to heaven and earth as they kowtowed.
He struck out with a palm. Before they could even scream.
The fragile bodies of those ordinary people were crushed and shattered.
According to Feng Yun’s original plan.
Whether they were real refugees or fake refugees.
All of these people were to be dealt with in the end to cover up the truth. Now that the situation was vastly different, their ending had not changed after all.
Instead, it was the group of real refugees who survived.
From this day onward.
The infamous name of Cheng Yu, the brutal Imperial Hound, once again resounded everywhere, making people tremble with fear just as it had in the past.
Raiding households and killing people!
Moreover, this time, what made the Jianghu even more terrified was that.
Compared to before, when he had at least had excuses, this time, Cheng Yu had become a true fiend.
He was addicted to killing, and he acted without any warning.
Everyone in the Jianghu was in fear for themselves, vowing that they would not rest until Cheng Yu was eliminated!
As for the truth, very few people knew it.
...
Several thousand li away.
Even faster than his renewed infamy could spread, Cheng Yu and his party had already arrived at the Great Qian Capital.
They walked along the incomparably broad streets of the Great Qian Capital.
The number of pedestrians and martial artists coming and going had reached an unprecedented level.
More importantly.
In the Great Qian Capital, when people saw the Jinyiwei contingent arrive, they did not show respect as the people in Jiangnan did.
They merely looked on coldly, without much reaction.
It was just like the situation when Cheng Yu had first arrived in Jiangnan.
