Chapter 846: The Heavenly Heart Sect's Grievance

Inside the Great Qi Dynasty.

Jing Yuheng received news that Si Ma Song was dead.

He was killed by Chen Shen, dying outside Longshe Cheng in a tragic manner, with no remains left.

When he saw the news, Jing Yuheng was stunned, double‑checked several times, confirmed he hadn't misread, that Si Ma Song had indeed been killed by the third elder of the Chen Clan, Chen Shen; it was truly mockable.

"Hall Master, Si Ma Song is dead."

"Is the news accurate?"

"It is indeed true; it is definitely Si Ma Song himself."

"Excellent, Si Ma Song is dead; the remaining scum of the Si Ma family are finally eradicated, root and branch. Your Majesty will surely be pleased to hear this," Jing Yuheng stood, a rare smile appearing on his face, and nodded toward Deputy Hall Master Bai Lang.

"We can recall the Black Dragon Guard we sent out; no need to keep searching for Si Ma Song. Bring them all back to keep watch over the other families in Wangdu. Lately, some people refuse to stay quiet and stir up trouble; Your Majesty dislikes restless families."

"Deputy Hall Master Bai Lang, this matter is entrusted to you. Whenever you spot any sign, kill without mercy; we cannot let those little rats escape. Your Majesty detests us leaving any trace. Understand?"

Deputy Hall Master Bai Lang clasped his hands and said, "I understand; please rest assured, Hall Master and Your Majesty, the same incident will not happen again."

"Better that way; I don't wish to doubt Deputy Hall Master Bai Lang's ability to act."

Jing Yuheng nodded, looking at Deputy Hall Master Bai Lang, acknowledging his capability.

Deputy Hall Master Bai Lang, of course, repeatedly guaranteed that no problems would arise on his side, giving Jing Yuheng complete confidence.

"Keep an eye on the Heavenly Heart Sect as well, but be cautious and don't fall into a trap."

"Tian Xin Dao Ren is extremely cunning, has shown no sign of activity; he cannot be so compliant, he must be scheming something big. He is the greatest threat; Deputy Hall Master, you must stay alert and not underestimate the Heavenly Heart Sect."

Jing Yuheng was very worried about the Heavenly Heart Sect; the sect keeps shrinking, many have died, yet there is no sign of movement.

That is the most frightening thing: Tian Xin Dao Ren is deeply scheming, not someone without means; either he does nothing, or he annihilates everything.

The Black Dragon Guard must also be careful, lest they be trapped by the Heavenly Heart Sect.

"Hall Master, rest assured; I will be vigilant," Deputy Hall Master Bai Lang saluted, "Tian Xin Dao Ren's behavior is problematic; I noticed it early and have already ordered the Black Dragon Guard not to approach the Heavenly Heart Sect, to keep watch on them, and simply prevent the sect's disciples from emerging."

Surround them, apply massive pressure on the Heavenly Heart Sect, then let them collapse on their own.

After a period of siege, the Heavenly Heart Sect remained quiet, while other sects kept acting, gradually tormenting the sect's disciples.

Especially the Yin Gui Sect members, whose methods are bizarre; when they act, it's uncanny, invisible and undetectable, only revealed after someone dies.

There are also the Spirit Sword Sect and the Monster Race, whose tactics are extremely ruthless; they are strongly intent on wiping out the Heavenly Heart Sect.

It doesn't have to be the Black Dragon Guard that acts; naturally, someone else will step in.

"Just keep an eye on it, ensure the Black Dragon Guard's living strength isn't completely drained."

"That's most of the Black Dragon Guard's primary strength; cultivating them isn't easy, and Your Majesty doesn't want to hear of their sacrifice."

Deputy Hall Master Bai Lang saluted, "Yes, Hall Master."

Jing Yuheng waved his hand, and Deputy Hall Master Bai Lang withdrew.

She immediately rose and went to report to Your Majesty.

Inside the Wanggong.

Jing Yuheng saw Qi Ruohua, reported the news, and Qi Ruohua gave a faint nod.

"It's good that Si Ma Song is dead; the Si Ma bloodline is completely cut off, which serves as a warning to restless families not to oppose us, otherwise, we will root and branch them."

At critical moments, one must be ruthless, leaving no room for anyone's hopeful mindset.

In chaotic times, heavy measures are needed; many families are like that. If you're not ruthless, they won't fear you; instead they'll think you're easy to bully.

Qi Ruohua either does nothing or acts, but always roots and branches, making those families see the consequences of opposing her.

"Keep those restless families under my watch; if any movement occurs, kill without mercy."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Jing Yuheng naturally knew that she had long harbored murderous intent toward those families, only lacking proof of their betrayal.

Having received that statement, later no evidence would be needed; just annihilate them outright.

Inside the Wanggong, not many families are needed; those families ultimately have no value.

At this moment, they are already strong and well‑equipped; the Black Dragon Guard has grown and can wipe out any family.

Qi Ruohua had suppressed herself for so long that she could no longer refrain from acting.

"Keep an eye on the Heavenly Heart Sect, but don't pressure them too hard, lest Tian Xin Dao Ren become desperate and act rashly."

"Tian Xin Dao Ren is very cunning and ruthless; he won't stop easily."

"Yuheng, you must be especially careful not to be misled by the current actions of the Heavenly Heart Sect."

The Heavenly Heart Sect keeps shrinking, clearly problematic, feigning weakness to the enemy, then ensnaring them completely.

Tian Xin Dao Ren's scheming is not lacking; his continued inaction itself indicates the issue.

"Your Majesty, I understand."

Jing Yuheng clasped his hands; this point, she naturally understood.

People of this world dare not underestimate Tian Xin Dao Ren.

Anyone who has dealt with Tian Xin Dao Ren knows how hard‑to‑handle he is, and also knows his ruthlessness.

Those who underestimate him have all been killed by him.

Heavenly Heart Sect.

Tian Xin Dao Ren sat in his seat, looking down from a height at the people below.

Those people are high‑ranking members of the Heavenly Heart Sect; a group is missing, about one‑third fewer than last time.

Many have fallen, either dying outside or succumbing to grievous wounds.

Some also fell due to cultivation problems.

Tian Meng Dao Ren sat beside him, looking gaunt; clearly, during this period she had been severely tormented.

"Senior brother, the Heavenly Heart Sect is surrounded on all sides with no opening; breaking through is very difficult."

The Yin Gui Sect and Spirit Sword Sect members glare at each other like tigers eyeing prey, the Monster Race people lie in wait in the dark ready to strike, and the Great Qi Dynasty's Black Dragon Guard could also attack at any time.

Many of our disciples have died; if we continue, I fear...

The Heavenly Heart Sect's disciples have been reduced by half; what does that mean? It shows that the Heavenly Heart Sect no longer has its former glory.

If we continue, the Heavenly Heart Sect will likely collapse on its own without needing those people to act.

Tian Meng Dao Ren tried many methods, but they had no... effect.

"Junior Sister, don't panic; they dare not break in."

Tian Xin Dao Ren raised his hand and said, "Those people can at most surround us from outside; they dare not enter the Heavenly Heart Sect's territory."

"Keep watching them; if they dare to act, kill them without mercy."

"Yes, Senior Brother."

Tian Meng Dao Ren clasped his hands with a bitter expression.
