Chapter 73

Suddenly, Wen Fangshi, the fourth of the five elders of the Wen family, let out a惨叫, and everyone hurriedly looked over, only to find that Wen Fangshi had already been slit throat and died.

"Fourth Elder!"

"Fourth Brother!"

"Fourth Brother!"

The other four elders all cried out in shock, but it was too late. With Wen Fangshi dead, the Five Elements Formation was broken, and they were now facing Xia Xueyi's attacks without the energy to deal with anything else. For a moment, the five elders of the Wen family were in grave danger.

"Leader Yuan, save us!" Wen Fangda shouted in panic, taking a moment to cry out.

"Ah!"

Wen Fangda's distraction allowed Xia Xueyi to strike Wen Fangyi, the second elder of the Wen family, with a sword. Although the blow was not fatal, it gave Xia Xueyi an even greater advantage.

"Idiot!" Yuan Zhirou cursed under his breath. To be distracted during a life-and-death battle, and not just once but twice, was nothing but foolishness.

It turned out that Xia Xueyi had been able to kill Wen Fangshi because Wen Fangshi was startled by He Qi's words, and Yuan Zhirou's hesitant expression had thrown him into a state of confusion, allowing Xia Xueyi to seize the opportunity and deliver a fatal blow.

This time, Wen Fangda was distracted again. In Yuan Zhirou's mind, they were all fools, but these fools were under his protection, and he couldn't just abandon them.

"Head of Hall He, the Wen family originally had six brothers, and two have already been killed by this person. Isn't it time to stop? Can you give Yuan a face?" Yuan Zhirou's face turned grim.

He Qi, however, closed his eyes and pretended not to hear. Seeing He Qi's reaction, Yuan Zhirou's eyes blazed with anger. He raised his spear, ready to attack, but then stopped himself at the last moment.

"This genderless person is quite patient!" He Qi thought to himself, as he had been prepared for a major battle.

"Ah!!"

In this brief moment, the battle with Xia Xueyi had changed dramatically. Seeing that Yuan Zhirou still wasn't helping, Wen Fangda and the others lost all hope. This despair allowed Xia Xueyi to seize the opportunity, and within a few moves, Wen Fangyi, the second elder, and Wen Fangwu, the fifth elder, were killed one after another.

Seeing this, the Wen family disciples were all shocked and wanted to help but dared not. At this moment, Xia Xueyi struck again, aiming at the remaining Wen Fangda and Wen Fangshan. Wen Fangda's face was filled with uncertainty.

Suddenly, he struck Wen Fangshan's back, forcing him to rush towards Xia Xueyi's sword, while Wen Fangda turned and ran.

"Thud!"

The Golden Snake Sword pierced Wen Fangshan's heart on the spot. Xia Xueyi was taken aback, not expecting Wen Fangda to betray his own brother. This moment of hesitation, combined with the obstruction of Wen Fangshan's body, allowed Wen Fangda to escape.

Wen Fangshan, in his dying moments, turned his head, his eyes filled with disbelief, staring at Wen Fangda's retreating back.

Everyone around was stunned, especially the Wen family disciples, who had lost all desire to fight.

"Want to run!" He Qi opened his eyes, leaped up, and in a flash, closed the distance with Wen Fangda, striking him in mid-air.

A tangible aura of inner strength formed a palm print and struck Wen Fangda's back.

"Thud!"

Wen Fangda spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, his face filled with resentment.

He Qi landed and looked at the remaining Wen family disciples, his voice cold and icy. "Kill them all, not one shall be left alive."

"Yes!"

The disciples of the Poison Battle Hall responded loudly and rushed to kill the remaining Wen family disciples.

"No! I surrender!"

"Surrender! Don't kill me, I haven't done anything bad!"

"Don't kill me, I'll give you everything I have!"

...

...

The Wen family disciples, seeing no hope of fighting, quickly surrendered. However, the Poison Battle Hall disciples did not stop, as He Qi had already given the order to leave no one alive.

"Thud!!"

"Ah! Don't kill me!"

...

...

The massacre ended quickly, and the remaining Wen family disciples were all killed, with not a single one escaping.

Xia Xueyi, after killing Wen Fangshan and seeing Wen Fangda dead, stood there in a daze, not killing the remaining Wen family disciples. His face showed sorrow, joy, and sadness, clearly thinking of his family.

After dealing with the people outside, most of the disciples rushed into the Wen family compound to search for the remaining members of the Wen family.

At the scene, only He Qi, Yuan Zhirou, and a few others remained, along with hundreds of bodies. The area fell silent, with only the noise from the Wen family compound.

Yuan Zhirou's eyes were cold, and his body exuded a violent aura. After a long moment, he laughed coldly. "Head of Hall He, very well. After I report to the Master, Yuan will come to challenge you again."

"Anytime!" He Qi replied calmly.

"Go!" Yuan Zhirou barked.

"Clack, clack, clack, clack!!"

...

...

Dozens of people turned and left the way they came.

"Leader, are you just going to let this go?" someone beside Yuan Zhirou asked angrily.

"Hmph, this isn't that easy. We'll report to the Master first."

Yuan Zhirou's face was grim. Although he was cruel and ruthless, he wasn't stupid. He could sense that He Qi had been subtly provoking him to act, which made him even more hesitant to do so. Now, he only wanted to report the current situation to Chizunxin as soon as possible.

Yuan Zhirou quickly left Wenzhou City, as the headquarters of the Chizunxin Sect was not in Wenzhou City. The Chizunxin Sect, originally a bandit group, naturally wouldn't stay in a city like Wenzhou. Wenzhou City was usually overseen by the Snake God Yuan Zhirou, the leader of the Seven Demons under Chizunxin.

When He Qi learned that Yuan Zhirou had left the city, he immediately sent a message.

Subsequently, He Qi dealt with the aftermath. All the male members of the Wen family were killed, and the ordinary maidservants were released. Women with ties to the Wen family were taken as captives, awaiting处置 by Dongfang Bubai. According to tradition, these women would be rewarded to the sect's meritorious disciples.

This was the tragedy of being a woman; they were often treated as goods, with no choice in their fate, unless they were strong or had a powerful background.

...

...

Not far from Wenzhou City, in a mountain range, was the headquarters of the famous Chizunxin Sect. Chizunxin, originally a bandit leader, had built a formidable reputation in the southwest. Even after founding the Chizunxin Sect, he retained the bandit style, such as the bandit stronghold.

Chizunxin was seven feet tall, tall and imposing, with long hair hanging to his shoulders, wearing a black robe, his eyes like torches, and a face covered in a beard like a hard brush.

He was originally from the Yin Kui Sect of the Great Sui Dynasty and was a junior to the Yin Kui Sect's leader, Zhu Yuyan. However, he left the sect and founded the Chizunxin Sect in the Great Ming because he could not accept a woman as the leader.

His personality was extremely cruel but not without prudence. When he heard Yuan Zhirou's report, he instinctively felt that something was wrong.

However, his cruel and arrogant nature could not tolerate such provocation from the Sun Moon Holy Sect. He laughed coldly, stood up, and a violent and fierce aura immediately enveloped the entire hall.

"Let's go. The Sun Moon Holy Sect has provoked us, how can we not respond? I want to see how a mere He Qi dares to act so recklessly on my territory." Chizunxin's eyes were fierce, his voice cold.

"Yes!"

His Seven Demons had already gathered and responded loudly.

...

...

After He Qi and his group cleaned up the mess, they all moved into the Wen family compound, clearly using it as a temporary base.

In the late afternoon, Chizunxin, with his Seven Demons and five hundred bandits, arrived at the gate of the Wen family compound. As a bandit, he didn't care about the dignity of martial arts experts or the idea of bullying the weak. He intended to eliminate He Qi and his group, and if it meant going against the Sun Moon Holy Sect, so be it; he was not afraid of Dongfang Bubai.

At this moment, He Qi and the Poison Battle Hall disciples also came out, facing Chizunxin and his group. However, no matter how they looked, Chizunxin and his group did not take He Qi and his group seriously.

"Hmph!" Chizunxin glanced at He Qi and his group with disdain, and a powerful aura immediately enveloped them.

He Qi and his group immediately felt a heavy pressure, a sense of helplessness and powerlessness overwhelming them.

"Is Master Chizunxin declaring war on the Sun Moon Holy Sect?" He Qi steadied his mind and spoke forcefully.

"Ha ha ha! A mere He Qi, how dare you speak to me like that? Who gave you the nerve?" Chizunxin glared at He Qi, laughing disdainfully.

"Even if I oppose the Sun Moon Holy Sect, what can you do? Ha ha ha ha!"

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

The Seven Demons and the bandits behind him laughed disdainfully.

"Clap, clap, clap!!"

"What's so funny? Why don't you tell me, so we can all laugh together!"

At this moment, a somewhat playful voice suddenly rang out, not loud but clear in everyone's ears. Chizunxin and his group's laughter abruptly stopped, and they looked in shock at the source of the voice.

They saw that He Qi and his group had made way, and a figure in white martial attire walked out of the Wen family gate, clapping his hands and looking at them with a curious smile.

However, Chizunxin and his group found this smile extremely hateful, filled with mockery.

"Gu Santong!" Chizunxin looked at the newcomer with a serious expression, his voice harsh.

"Isn't it something like... something... something... what was it again?" Gu Santong pointed at Chizunxin, looking as if he had just realized something but couldn't quite remember, and asked Chizunxin and his group curiously.

"Ba!" One of the Seven Demons, Xiang E, couldn't help but respond.

"Good son, don't randomly claim fathers. I'm not your dad!" Gu Santong immediately looked shocked, his face showing disgust, as if he was disgusted by the idea of Xiang E being his son.

"You!" Xiang E immediately reacted, glaring angrily at Gu Santong.

"Ha ha ha!"

At this moment, He Qi and his group burst into laughter. Although the term "dad" was not commonly used for "father" in the Divine Continent, some minority groups did use it, so many people knew that "dad" meant "father."

While some of the Chizunxin Sect members also wanted to laugh, they knew it wasn't the right time and had to hold back.

"Alright, Gu Santong, call out your people! I want to see what kind of waves you can make!" Chizunxin suddenly roared, his fierce gaze fixed on the gate of the Wen family compound.
