Chapter 332

The Scripture Depository.

At this moment, silence fell.

Everyone stared at Xiao Xiao Mochen with terror on their faces.

Who could have imagined that someone could crush the Scripture Depository single-handedly.

Even the people of Hulongshanzhuang, before Xiao Xiao Mochen, had lost every shred of fighting spirit.

Too strong.

Strong to the point of being unbelievable.

Even Zhu Wushi, at this moment, wore an unreadable expression.

He thought, as a Marquis, he held High position and great power.

Anyone at all, he could deduce their character from their words and deeds.

Know a person's gains and losses.

Whether for fame, or for profit, so long as they wanted something.

He could appeal to their emotions and reason with them, making them work for him.

But before Xiao Xiao Mochen, the ability he took such pride in lost all meaning.

He could not see through Xiao Xiao Mochen's behavior at all.

One moment he was praising the Scripture Depository, the next he was killing people.

Even after killing people, he told them to brag properly.

Such capricious conduct, acting on every whim.

Truly impossible to read.

He was an unbridled scoundrel.

"What must this Marquis do for you to believe me?"

Zhu Wushi felt aggrieved.

It had always been others proving themselves to him, but now, it was he proving himself to Xiao Xiao Mochen.

It seemed, they were all fish and meat on a chopping block, at Xiao Xiao Mochen's mercy.

"How about, kill them?"

"Only the living may leave this place?"

A hint of playfulness curled at the corner of Xiao Xiao Mochen's mouth.

The imperial court had captured Huang Yaoshi, and even put a warrant out for him.

He did not mind giving the imperial court a taste of its own medicine.

First, to root out the imperial court's power; second, to plant his own forces within the imperial court.

If Zhu Wushi killed the people of Hulongshanzhuang and the Scripture Depository to save his own life.

In the future, why worry he would not obey his orders.

That would be leverage.

As the words fell, the crowd was startled once more.

"You—what difference is such behavior from that of evil heretics?"

"Even if it means death, we will not turn on our own!"

Duan Tianya snorted coldly.

"Then are you prepared to die?"

Xiao Xiao Mochen remained calm and composed.

Yet, a terrifying killing intent radiated from him.

This made the crowd tremble uncontrollably, their legs quivering of their own accord.

What terrifying killing intent.

This was the Martial God Xiao Xiao Mochen.

Before, they had not been targeted, and Xiao Xiao Mochen had killed with a single strike.

They had not yet felt Xiao Xiao Mochen's true strength.

Now, he realized.

Before Xiao Xiao Mochen's aura, he could not even move.

"To kill the moment you make a move, sir, is far too arrogant!"

"What difference does such behavior have from that of evil heretics?"

Haitang could not help but question him.

"So what if I am an evil heretic?"

"Have you people killed any fewer?"

Xiao Xiao Mochen sneered.

Seeing Haitang about to speak again, Xiao Xiao Mochen said directly: "One more word and I'll cripple your Wu Gong, strip you naked, and sell you to a brothel!"

In an instant, Haitang dared not utter another word.

She did not doubt Xiao Xiao Mochen would do it.

That would be worse than being killed.

She could only look at Zhu Wushi with a wronged expression.

Hoping Zhu Wushi could make a decision.

In their view, Zhu Wushi could not possibly betray the imperial court.

Even less likely to strike against them.

However, the next moment.

Zhu Wushi acted, slapping a palm directly at Hai Tang.

This sudden strike came without any warning.

Bang!

Hai Tang was slapped flying away.

"No way?"

"Zhu Wushi actually struck against someone from Hulongshanzhuang?"

Xie Xun couldn't help but suck in a cold breath.

Rumor had it Zhu Wushi possessed a chivalrous heart and righteousness reaching the sky.

Yet, he turned out to be a despicable villain?

To save his own life, he actually struck against his own people.

"Hai Tang!"

Gui Hai Yidao cried out in grief; when he rushed to Hai Tang's side, he found Hai Tang had already been killed in a single strike.

"Zhu Wushi, to save your life, you even killed Hai Tang?"

Gui Hai Yidao's eyes turned red.

His great sword slowly left its sheath; he had misjudged Zhu Wushi.

He would avenge Hai Tang.

And Duan Tianya and Cheng Shifei also looked at Zhu Wushi in disbelief.

They never expected that Zhu Wushi, whom they respected, would strike against them to save his own life.

"Why?"

"Does saving one's life justify disregarding everything?"

Duan Tianya did not understand.

This was not the Zhu Wushi he knew.

But the answer he received was Zhu Wushi's attack.

In an instant, Hulongshanzhuang and Zhu Wushi directly engaged in battle.

"Why didn't you simply take over Hulongshanzhuang, but instead let them kill each other?"

The Empress did not understand Xiao Xiao Mochen's actions.

"The Four Secret Agents are too upright."

"They will never betray the imperial court, nor betray the righteousness in their hearts."
