Chapter 138

Only then did Guichen toss the Xuzhu in his hands beside her.

He snorted coldly.

"Since you're all going to die today, this seat shall do a good deed for once!"

As he spoke.

He turned his gaze toward Abbot Xuan Ci.

"Xuan Ci, didn't you say this seat was slandering you?"

"Do you have the guts to verify the truth before everyone in the world?"

"Let's see whether this boy really is your child?!"

At these words.

The arena instantly fell deathly silent.

Everyone turned in unison to look at Abbot Xuan Ci.

Awaiting his answer.

086-Jiuzhou needs only one voice from the Qinglong Society! (Subscribe!)

Taking in everyone's reactions.

Abbot Xuan Ci's face shifted through shades of uncertainty for quite a while.

Finally.

He sighed deeply and chanted a Buddha's name.

"Amitabha."

"This old monk already knows the Qinglong Society's move is retaliation for Master Xuancheng of our Yunzhou Shaolin Sect going to Mount Wudang last time."

"However, this matter was a decision made by this old monk alone, and has nothing to do with Yunzhou Shaolin."

"This time, this old monk is willing to repay with his life. I ask Your Excellency to show mercy and spare Yunzhou Shaolin."

After speaking.

He sat down on the ground of his own accord.

Chanting sutras in his mouth, he slowly closed his eyes.

In a posture of resigned acceptance of death.

If this had been another faction causing trouble.

He might not have acted this way.

After all, before coming he had specifically prepared some contingencies.

All to guard against these very situations.

But this faction was the Qinglong Society, so he had no choice but to act this way.

Because.

Facing the Qinglong Society, even he, the abbot of Yunzhou Shaolin, could only feel utter helplessness.

Rather than pointlessly depleting Yunzhou Shaolin's foundation.

It was better to sacrifice just himself, giving Yunzhou Shaolin a chance to survive.

Of course.

The main reason he made this decision.

Was that he knew deep down, no matter what, he was on a path to certain death.

Therefore, he might as well gamble his life for one chance.

Having devoted his entire life to Yunzhou Shaolin, he naturally did not want to see Yunzhou Shaolin suffer calamity.

Seeing this, everyone was visibly moved.

Even the monks behind him, whose expressions had originally been somewhat unsightly.

At this moment, their eyes too were filled with emotion.

Seeing through his thoughts at a glance.

Guichen let out two cold laughs.

His gaze swept across everyone present.

His tone brimming with boundless killing intent.

"Don't dream about that!"

"Whether intentional or not, anyone and any force connected to this matter — not a single one will escape!!"

"The Qinglong Society must not be insulted!!!"

"Better to kill three thousand more than let one slip through!!"

As the chilling voice rang out across the arena.

A towering killing intent instantly engulfed the entire Huashan!

For a moment.

Everyone involuntarily shivered.

A chill ran down their hearts.

Their gazes toward Guichen were now tinged with wariness and terror.

Although it was only four short sentences.

They understood.

These words might well encompass more than a thousand lives!

From this, one could see just how domineering and iron-blooded the Qinglong Society truly was!

But even knowing this much.

Not a single person present dared to speak up.

Clearly.

Faced with a terrifying behemoth like the Qinglong Society.

They did not dare to gamble!

Nor did they dare to gamble with their lives, their juniors, and the countless lives of the Zong Sect!!

"You....."

"Aren't you afraid that doing this will rouse the wrath of the masses?!"

Abbot Xuan Ci's face was dark as water.

His pupils flickered with boundless fury.

If killing glances could kill.

Guichen would probably already be riddled with holes and torn to pieces by now.

"Hahaha...."

"The wrath of the masses? So what?!"

"Anyone who dares to oppose the Qinglong Society — kill them!"

"Kill them until they tremble with fear! Kill them until they are terrified! Kill them until they dare not resist any longer!!"

Guichen threw his head back and laughed.

Between every word and line.

Apart from the cold, killing intent.

There was even more contempt and confidence!

This Nine Provinces needs only one voice!

And that is the voice of the Qinglong Society!

Anyone who dares to oppose the Qinglong Society.

No matter who they are, no matter where they are.

There is only one path for them — death!!

Once these words were spoken.

The hall instantly fell silent.

Everyone was furious, a cold, icy glint flashing in their eyes.

Unfortunately.
