Chapter 254: Beheading Yue Shanfeng

After all, it was not easy for the two Helmsmen to climb to their current positions within the Tianxia Alliance, so they naturally could not stand idly by while the Great Li Court destroyed the Tianxia Alliance in the future.

The two even thought in their hearts that they would probably have to exaggerate the Great Li Tianjin Guard's actions tonight slightly, to make the Alliance's high-level members feel a strong sense of crisis.

Of course, as for that Great Li expert, there was no need to say much; the opponent alone suppressed and killed the Zhang Sect of the Fallen Spirit Shanfeng and the Four Venerables. With such a battle record, as long as the Alliance's high-level members were not stupid, they would all know what this meant.

At this moment, the Left Helmsman of the Tianxia Alliance seemed to think of something and spoke out again:

"Several Elders, we still do not know who that Great Li expert in the Hundred Refinements City tonight actually is. Nor do we know if the Great Li Court will reveal his identity."

"Coincidentally, we do have some spies within the Great Li Tianjin Guard. If the opponent spreads news about that expert, we would naturally be willing to share it with the Elders."

Hearing this, the Three Elders of the Profound Yin sneered coldly. The old man from before showed disdain and said:

"Do you think the Great Yin Yuan Sect has no spies within the Tianjin Guard? This matter does not need your worry; you only need to remember my instructions just now."

Having said that, the Three Elders of the Profound Yin turned and looked at the Silver Moon Sword Lord once more, saying:

"The matter of the Fallen Spirit Shanfeng is now settled; there is no need for us to stay here any longer. We take our leave and go first!"

In the next moment, the three figures suddenly moved, then transformed into three yin winds that vanished into the pitch-black night, rushing swiftly down the mountain.

The two Helmsmen of the Tianxia Alliance narrowed their eyes; the temper of the Three Elders of the Profound Yin was unpredictable. If they had not happened to meet this time, they would never want to deal with the other party again in the future.

The old man in white robes gazed at the departing figures of the Three Elders of the Profound Yin, not knowing what he was thinking.

It was not until the two Helmsmen of the Tianxia Alliance came to take their leave that he came to his senses, looking at the two and saying:

"If you can discover the identity of that expert, please inform this old man."

"Elder, rest assured. If we have news, we will certainly send word to the Elder immediately."

The two Helmsmen agreed, and then both sides departed the mountain peak separately.

At the same time, on the Fallen Spirit Shanfeng, the eighth peak, Zhan Yue Shanfeng.

In the night, the crimson, blood-like mountain rocks were jagged; the peak top had no clouds or mist, yet invisible sharp edges lingered faintly, emitting a grim and killing aura.

At this time, several Fallen Spirit Shanfeng disciples who intended to flee passed the mountain gate of Zhan Yue Shanfeng, only to find that the disciples guarding the mountain were actually drunk out of their minds and snoring loudly.

The passing disciples were instantly all bewildered; while the disciples of the other peaks of the Fallen Spirit Shanfeng were currently anxiously fleeing for their lives, Zhan Yue Shanfeng was sleeping as if nothing was wrong, as if they were seriously ill.

One of the disciples, showing rare kindness, slapped the disciple guarding the mountain gate awake while running away, shouting loudly:

"The Great Li Tianjin Guard is about to attack, and the sect is about to be destroyed. Why aren't you fleeing quickly?"

Having finished speaking, they did not bother to linger, nor did they have the leisure to explain further, so they continued fleeing towards the area outside the Fallen Spirit Shanfeng.

The disciples guarding the mountain gate of Zhan Yue Shanfeng were woken up in a daze by someone hitting them; they immediately grabbed their knives and swords, preparing to fight back against the people who attacked them.

But by the time they reacted, they found that the people who had hit them awake had already gone far away.

"Which peak's disciples are playing tricks on us? This matter must be reported to the Steward. Do not think that because the Shanfeng Lord and the Elders are in seclusion, the disciples of Zhan Yue Shanfeng are easy to bully!"

One of the slightly older disciples was instantly furious, because he could faintly see that the people who struck them were wearing the clothes of Fallen Spirit Shanfeng disciples, and after hitting them, they ran away!

"Senior Brother speaks reason!"

One of the disciples rubbed his painful cheek, instantly sobering up a bit, and frowned, saying:

"However, I seem to have heard them say something when they hit us?"

"Saying something like 'The sect is destroyed' and 'Flee quickly'?"

As he spoke, he looked around Zhan Yue Shanfeng; in the darkness, everything was very quiet, just as nothing had happened before they woke up.

"Nonsense! Our Fallen Spirit Shanfeng is a top-tier sect in the Jianghu. Could the Great Li Court take us down just by sending one Tianjin Guard? Do not say such words outside, or people will laugh their teeth off!"

The slightly older disciple hurriedly warned him, then prepared to pull the other person to continue drinking, saying:

"Drink two more cups. After the people replacing us arrive, I will go find the Steward to report this matter; I will definitely make them suffer!"

Then, they ignored the matter again and continued drinking.

But soon, several more fleeing disciples passed the mountain gate of Zhan Yue Shanfeng, and at first glance saw that the disciples guarding the mountain of Zhan Yue Shanfeng were still leisurely drinking.

One by one, they were shocked; someone shouted across the steps in front of the mountain gate in surprise and suspicion:

"Do you of Zhan Yue Shanfeng intend to surrender to the Great Li Court? At a time like this, you are still drinking?"

Hearing this, the disciples guarding the mountain of Zhan Yue Shanfeng were instantly stunned; they immediately stood up and sneered coldly:

"What surrender? Isn't everything fine? You are running so urgently late at night, carrying bundles; are you rushing to escape a famine?"

However, as soon as the words were spoken, when they noticed that the several disciples in front of the mountain gate looked extremely wretched, they suddenly began to realize something was wrong.

At this moment, the disciple who had shouted earlier looked at Zhan Yue Shanfeng with a strange gaze, glanced up and down, and then tentatively asked:

"You wouldn't still not know that the Zhang Sect and the Four Venerables are all dead, and now the Great Li Tianjin Guard is breaking through like a storm to completely annihilate our Fallen Spirit Shanfeng?"

Upon hearing these words, the gate-keeping disciples were struck as if by lightning; the wine cup held in their hand suddenly fell, shattering on the ground.

"Is this true? Are you not playing tricks on us?"

One of the disciples guarding the mountain gate asked in shock, while the passing disciples looked on with wonder, saying:

"So you still do not know. Take advantage of the fact that it is still not too late and flee for your lives quickly!"

Having said that, the several fleeing disciples did not waste any more time; they hurriedly continued on their journey and departed quickly.

Only the gate-keeping disciples of Zhan Yue Shanfeng remained stunned in place for a while before coming to their senses.

"Quick, quick, go quickly to report to the Steward; something terrible has happened!"

The slightly older disciple, with a grim face, cried out urgently, then turned and ran into the mountain gate; the remaining disciples were obviously frightened and immediately followed right behind.

Not long after, outside a very luxurious courtyard on the mid-slope of Zhan Yue Shanfeng.

A middle-aged Steward ran over in a hurry, rushed directly into the courtyard, and shouted:

"Lady, Lady, something terrible has happened! The sect is about to be destroyed!"

Inside the room, a beautiful woman with disheveled hair and rosy skin, lying diagonally on a soft couch and sound asleep, was instantly awakened by the sound.

She opened her eyes in a daze, while the bare-chested, muscular man lying beside her was obviously much more alert; he immediately rolled off the couch, intending to hide under the bed.

However, at this moment, the middle-aged Steward had already pushed the door open and rushed in; seeing the two naked people in the room, the whole person froze for a moment.

But he had no time to deal with the affairs of this adulterous couple; he looked directly at Lady Ni and cried out urgently:

"Lady, quickly notify the Shanfeng Lord and the Elders in seclusion! The Zhang Sect and the Four Great Venerables are dead; the Great Li Tianjin Guard is about to attack!"

Lady Ni, who had been desperately clutching her chest, had intended to scold a few words, but upon hearing this, her face instantly changed color, and she cried out in shock:

"Didn't you say before that Bailian Shanfeng was in trouble? How is it that in such a short time, Luoshenfeng is about to be finished?"

"Moreover, the Luoshenzhang Sect and the Venerables are actually dead? How is this possible?"

The middle-aged steward's face looked grim and extremely anxious; while throwing clothes to Lady Ni, he urged:

"Lady, stop asking! Disciples from other peaks are all fleeing for their lives. If you don't hurry, the Great Li Tianjin Guard will be at the foot of the mountain!"

Having said this, the middle-aged steward glanced at this adulterous couple before him, finally gritted his teeth, suddenly turned around directly, and walked out the door.

Now that the message has been delivered, he has been as kind and righteous as possible to Zhan Yue Shanfeng; from now on, he must flee for his own life.

Zhan Yue Shanfeng received the message too late; at this moment, he could only hope it was still not too late to escape.

"Wait, where are you going?"

At this moment, Lady Ni's urgent cry came from behind, but the middle-aged steward paid no attention at all; his figure quickly disappeared from the courtyard.

In the room, the muscular man beside him looked deathly pale; having been caught in the act of adultery by the steward, his whole body trembled with fear, and the only thing on his mind now was that he was about to be slapped into bloody mud by the Shanfeng Lord.

Even what the middle-aged steward said, he did not hear at all.

At this time, seeing the steward leave, Lady Ni's face changed rapidly for a moment, then her gaze suddenly turned gloomy.

She directly slapped the muscular man beside her hard, then while putting on clothes, she scolded:

"Useless thing! When trouble really comes, you can't match even half of your skills in bed."

As she scolded, Lady Ni began to pack things in the room; seeing the muscular man still not moving, she scolded again:

"Why aren't you putting on clothes faster? Zhan Yue Shanfeng is about to be finished. If you stay here and don't flee, are you waiting to die?"

Upon hearing these words, the muscular man finally reacted; while putting on clothes, he helped Lady Ni pack things.

In a short while, the two, carrying gold, silver, and valuables on their backs, left the courtyard under the cover of night and fled straight down the mountain.

As for notifying the Shanfeng Lord and the Elders of Zhan Yue Shanfeng who were in seclusion, the two could not care less about the lives of those old things; at this moment, fleeing for their lives was naturally the most important.

Meanwhile, the news of the incident at Luoshenfeng spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred; almost all disciples in Zhan Yue Shanfeng had heard it, and one by one, they all began to flee down the mountain.

Only the Shanfeng Lord and the Elders of Zhan Yue Shanfeng, who were still hiding their heads in seclusion, remained motionless.

Some disciples cared only about fleeing for their lives and did not think of sending a message; after all, even the Zhang Sect and the Venerables were dead, so the Shanfeng Lord was destined to be unable to protect them.

Other disciples thought that the Shanfeng Lord and Elders of Zhan Yue Shanfeng must have already known the news; furthermore, they might have fled ahead of the disciples long ago, so why would they need to send a message themselves?

However, the children and wives and clan members of the Shanfeng Lord and Elders of Zhan Yue Shanfeng were extremely anxious at this moment.

While packing things to flee, they felt that their masters and fathers should not be so heartless as to flee alone without even informing them.

They immediately sent people to the place of seclusion at the peak top to deliver a message, but previously this matter had always been managed by Lady Ni, and the place of seclusion was a forbidden area of Zhan Yue Shanfeng, extremely secret.

Therefore, except for the Elders and the Shanfeng Lord, almost no one else had ever been there; for a moment, they could not find the location of the entrance to the place of seclusion.

Helplessly, the crowd could only strike a warning bell in Zhan Yue Shanfeng; in an instant, the sound of the bell spread throughout the entire Zhan Yue Shanfeng, from top to bottom.

Just at this time, Master Sikong, who had captured Yulan Shanfeng without drawing blood, brought Yumianjiao and Ouyang Beiqi Ming Qi, along with some Tianjin Guard and Yulan Shanfeng disciples, to the foot of Zhan Yue Shanfeng.

According to messages from various sources, it seemed that among the entire Luoshenfeng Sect, only the eighth peak, Zhan Yue Shanfeng, had iron bones.

Not a single Shanfeng Lord or Elder in Zhan Yue Shanfeng had fled, nor had any surrendered to the Great Li Tianjin Guard; they seemed determined to resist to the death, sharing life and death with Luoshenfeng!

"I thought Luoshenfeng was all soft bones; this Shanfeng Lord of Zhan Yue Shanfeng is quite good. Although an enemy, he is an opponent worthy of admiration."

Master Sikong looked toward the peak top of Zhan Yue Shanfeng, a look of appreciation appearing in his eyes.

Although many disciples in Zhan Yue Shanfeng were fleeing at this time, based on his Martial Realm cultivation, he could still feel that the faintly leaking strands of powerful martial arts aura on the peak top were still there.

Yumianjiao and Ouyang Beiqi Ming Qi beside him exchanged a glance but said nothing more; even facing Master Sikong's sarcastic mockery, they simply pretended not to hear.

However, Yumianjiao's face was somewhat pale at this moment, obviously suffering injuries caused by Master Sikong's palm strike before surrendering.

Of course, Master Sikong did not truly kill the other party; he naturally understood that keeping these people of Luoshenfeng would be more useful.

Moreover, Fu Qiwen later sent a verbal message that any Shanfeng Lord or Elder who surrendered to the Tianjin Guard could temporarily be spared death and make up for their faults with merit.

Therefore, Master Sikong had no reason to kill anyone.

At this time, Ouyang Beiqi Ming Qi pondered for a moment, then sighed and said:

"Although Master Yuwen's talent is limited, he is obsessed with martial arts cultivation and possesses great perseverance; after years of accumulation, he broke through in one seclusion and ascended to the position of Shanfeng Lord of Zhan Yue Shanfeng."

"To be honest, I did not expect him to be the most upright among all the Shanfeng Lords."

Speaking, he raised his head toward the direction of the peak top and slowly shook his head, saying:

"In fact, Master Yuwen was still in seclusion before the great enemy, attempting to break through the Martial Realm to intercept the enemy."

"But unfortunately, the Great Li produced an Eighth Imperial Prince; even if he truly broke through, it would ultimately be of no use."

At this time, Ouyang Beiqi Ming Qi and Yumianjiao had naturally also learned from Master Sikong and the Tianjin Guard that the existence who acted in Bailian City was Li Musheng.

When they first learned that the terrifying expert who suppressed and killed the Luoshenzhang Sect and the Four Great Venerables with his own strength was actually an Imperial Prince of the Great Li under twenty years of age,

the two thought Master Sikong was joking, deliberately trying to scare them.

But afterwards, hearing from the entire Tianjin Guard that this matter was personally ordered and announced by that Commander-in-Chief, they confirmed that what Master Sikong said was indeed fact.

Along the way, even though it was difficult to accept, they began to slowly accept such an incredible truth; however, at this moment, they were even more curious about that Eighth Imperial Prince.
