Chapter 71

In the rich and fertile land of China, the State of Qin now occupies the north and half of the east, the Great Sui occupies the west, the Great Ming occupies most of the south, and the Great Song occupies half of the east and a small part of the south.

Leaving aside the other countries, if the Great Ming were to be divided into ten parts, the righteous path led by the Wudang Sect would occupy about five parts. This half of the territory is mostly occupied by righteous sects.

The Great Ming court, on the other hand, occupies the southernmost two parts, which are all forces close to the court, including both the righteous and the evil paths.

The remaining two areas, known as the southeast and southwest, are mostly occupied by the forces of the evil path, with the southeast occupying about two parts.

The southwest occupies the remaining one part, with Yunnan being on the outer edge of the southwest, and the rest of the area being divided among other forces.

...

On the way down from Blackwood Cliff, He Qi and Xia Xueyi were preparing to go to Wenzhou, where a first-rate force also dominated. However, they were not there to cause trouble for the first-rate force, but to take revenge on the Wen family.

"Alright, Xueyi, rest assured, this time you will definitely fulfill your wish," He Qi said reassuringly, looking at Xia Xueyi, who was standing beside him, his face dark, excited, and somewhat uneasy, with a confident tone.

Regardless of their shared sect, they were now also relatives, as Xia Xueyi had married He Qi's sister, He Hongyao. Therefore, He Qi would naturally do his best to help Xia Xueyi take revenge, especially since it also related to his mission.

"Yes, this time we must wipe out the entire Wen family," Xia Xueyi said, gripping the Golden Snake Sword, his body emitting a poisonous and malevolent aura.

"Don't let hatred cloud your mind; your future still has a lot of potential," He Qi said, frowning at the poisonous aura and earnestly advising him.

"Ah!" Xia Xueyi drew a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and nodded at He Qi, knowing that He Qi was doing this for his own good.

"Yes, if you don't let hatred cloud your mind, your future will be even brighter," He Qi smiled in relief and then said meaningfully, "Our sect is now thriving, and my potential is already limited. In the future, I can at most reach the initial level of the Grand Master.

But you are different. With the support of the sect leader and the appreciation of Pavilion Master Yan, Xueyi, your future is very promising, understand?"

Xia Xueyi nodded. At his age of over twenty, he had already reached the seventh level of innate cultivation, and was at the peak of the seventh level. It was clear how hard he had worked over the past two years, and his future still had a lot of room for improvement.

"Yes, I understand. Let's go, the sooner we wipe out the Wen family, the sooner we can fulfill your wish," He Qi said confidently, a small family like the Wen family was not even a concern for him.

"Yes!" Xia Xueyi nodded heavily, his expression filled with anticipation.

Subsequently, the two of them, along with a large group of people from the Poison Battle Hall, headed straight for Wenzhou.

At the same time, other high-ranking officials also led some people down from Blackwood Cliff, some secretly going to Wenzhou, and others secretly going to the southwestern center, Jingzhou City.

On Blackwood Cliff, with the departure of these high-ranking officials, it seemed to have become completely quiet, but some insiders became even busier and more excited.

...

In the training room, Dongfang Bubai sat cross-legged, the White Sharp Sword lying horizontally on his knees. Red gas continuously appeared around his body, occasionally mixed with black and golden gas. A faint white glow also appeared on the White Sharp Sword.

As time passed, the different-colored gas gradually deepened, and a heavy, oppressive, and terrifying aura continuously emanated from Dongfang Bubai, slowly spreading out of the training room.

Outside the training room, the Dark Shadow Organization had already set up a watertight defense. The Guard Organization and the Assassin Organization worked together to ensure that no one would disturb Dongfang Bubai unless they forcibly broke through.

Even if the former sect leader Zhou Tianxing were to come back to life, it would not be allowed. Over the past two years, Dongfang Bubai had put a lot of effort into the Dark Shadow Organization, not only in management and brainwashing but also in martial arts.

Because these people were all forcibly advanced to their current levels, they had no more potential for advancement. Therefore, Dongfang Bubai taught the Power Absorption Technique to a few of the more skilled martial artists, such as Shouyi, Ciyi, and Tanyi, and a few others.

Among these people, Shouyi, Ciyi, and Tanyi had already reached the lower level of the Grand Master, while the others were at the ninth level of innate cultivation. Even with the Power Absorption Technique, this was their greatest achievement, and they would never advance further in their lives.

...

Six days later, outside Wenzhou City, He Qi, Xia Xueyi, and over three hundred people from the Poison Battle Hall had arrived.

Looking at the familiar city, Xia Xueyi's expression became increasingly joyful and hateful.

"Let's go. To be on the safe side, we'll act quickly and decisively. We'll head straight for the Wen family," He Qi said solemnly.

"Yes!" Xia Xueyi nodded fiercely.

Over three hundred people rode their horses straight into the city, and the guards outside the city did not dare to stop them.

Wenzhou City is the center of Wenzhou, a large city with a permanent population of hundreds of thousands and a countless number of transient residents.

In the southern part of Wenzhou City, there were many large mansions, among which one particularly spacious residence stood out. The mansion was bustling with activity, with countless maids and servants, and the guards patrolling were strong and capable, making it seem like a fortress. All the surrounding mansions seemed to be its accompaniment.

This was the Wen family. The Wen family was a dominant force in Wenzhou City, a second-rate power with close ties to the first-rate power that dominated Wenzhou. Therefore, the Wen family's bullying and evil deeds went unpunished.

At the entrance of the Wen family mansion, over a dozen guards stood there, exuding a fierce aura and a look of arrogance on their faces.

"Boom, boom!!"

"Clatter, clatter!!"

"Ride, ride...!"

...

Suddenly, the sound of hooves echoed from the distance. Soon, over three hundred people and horses stopped at the wide entrance of the Wen family mansion.

"Who are you?" The leader of the dozen guards shouted loudly, looking at the group.

However, sensing that these people were not ordinary, his tone was not as arrogant. After all, although the Wen family was a dominant force in Wenzhou, there were many more powerful forces, so they were not foolish enough to offend people for no reason.

He Qi turned to look at Xia Xueyi, who was slightly behind him, and noticed that Xia Xueyi was staring intently at the signboard of the Wen family, not saying a word.

Turning back, he looked coldly at the leader and shouted, "I am He Qi of the Sun Moon Sect. Go tell the five elders of the Wen family."

"Sun Moon Sect!!"

The leader and the other dozen guards were all startled. The Sun Moon Sect was a formidable force that the Wen family could not afford to offend. The leader was relieved that he had not been too arrogant and quickly bowed, smiling, "Please wait a moment, sir. I will inform the family head immediately."

After saying this, he hurriedly ran into the mansion, but before turning around, he glanced at Xia Xueyi, feeling that he had seen this man before, but he did not dare to think too much, knowing that this man was someone he could not afford to offend, and neither could the Wen family.

He Qi closed his eyes, his attitude cold, and the over three hundred people behind him sneered disdainfully, feeling a sense of superiority and pride as they saw the shock on the faces of the dozen guards.

In the central hall of the Wen family mansion, the five elders were in a meeting. When He Qi and his group arrived at the gate, they already knew, but they did not know who the visitors were.

Soon, the leader of the guards, slightly out of breath, rushed to the hall and quickly said, "Reporting to the family head, over three hundred people have arrived at the gate, saying they are He Qi of the Sun Moon Sect."

"Sun Moon Sect! He Qi!" The eldest, Wen Fangda, sitting at the head of the table, frowned in surprise.

"Brother, isn't He Qi the hall master of the Poison Battle Hall, one of the five halls of the Sun Moon Sect? What does he want from us?" The second eldest, Wen Fangyi, asked solemnly.

The other members of the Wen family also frowned. The Sun Moon Sect had never had any dealings with them, so they did not know what their sudden visit meant.

"I'm afraid they are not here with good intentions," Wen Fangda said solemnly, then waved his hand, indicating the leader to leave, "Tell He Qi we will be there shortly."

"Yes!"

After the leader left, Wen Fangda thought for a moment and quickly said, "Second brother, quickly send Nan Yang and Tianba to invite Leader Yuan over."

"Yes." Wen Fangyi immediately responded.

"Good, gather all the people, and let's see what Hall Master He wants," Wen Fangda stood up and said solemnly.

"Yes!" The others responded in unison, their faces serious.

Soon, the five elders of the Wen family led hundreds of people to the gate.

Seeing He Qi, who was leading the group on horseback, Wen Fangda cupped his hands from a distance, smiling warmly and slightly bowing, "Hall Master He, it is an honor to have you here. I apologize for not being able to welcome you properly, please forgive me."

He Qi opened his eyes and looked coldly at the five elders of the Wen family, who had already reached the gate, his face calm, "Are all the people of your Wen family here?"

The Wen family was taken aback, not understanding what He Qi meant. The five elders were particularly angry, feeling that He Qi was not giving them any face, but they had no choice due to their inferior strength and had to continue to act humbly.

Wen Fangda smiled again, "To welcome Hall Master He, all the men of the Wen family are here."

"Good, very good." He Qi nodded and then looked at Xia Xueyi, who was slightly behind him.

The Wen family was very curious and followed He Qi's gaze to Xia Xueyi. Many of them, including the five elders, frowned, feeling a sense of familiarity.

Xia Xueyi finally moved his gaze from the signboard to the five elders of the Wen family, revealing a very malevolent and hateful smile, "Wen Fangda, Wen Fangyi, Wen Fangshan, Wen Fangshi, Wen Fangwu, don't you recognize me?"

"Who is this gentleman...?" Wen Fangda cupped his hands and frowned, feeling a sense of foreboding.

"You are Xia Xueyi!" Suddenly, the fourth elder, Wen Fangshi, exclaimed in surprise.

"Xia Xueyi!!"

"Xia Xueyi! The one who killed Lord Liu!"
