After Yan Ping's voice fell silent, a sudden sound of something breaking through the air came in.

Then, steel needles, as if they were free, rained into the room.

Hiss~

Several Mo warriors who had been talking with Yan Ping clutched their necks or chests and fell down.

Yuan Zong, shielded by others and crouching down at the first sign of danger, was not injured at all.

The main door broke open, and Yan Ping saw three people rushing in, then they swung their swords at him.

"Yuan Zong? It's actually you!" Yan Ping was startled by the three figures and quickly drew his sword to resist, fighting three against one.

Yan Ping's sword skills were indeed superb.

Even when three people attacked him, he could still hold his ground, though he was at a disadvantage, he did not seem to be losing.

However, every strike from Li Zhiying was heavy. Although Yan Ping's control of strength was formidable, if he continued like this, he would surely lose.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came, clearly indicating that nearby Mo warriors were rushing over.

"I'll go and block those Mo warriors," Shan Rou said, and with that, she withdrew from the battle.

With Shan Rou out of the fight, the strength in Li Zhiying's hands increased.

As Li Zhiying's attacks intensified, Yan Ping's face turned a peculiar shade of red, and his hands began to tremble.

However, in the face of life and death, human potential began to fully erupt.

Yan Ping suddenly burst forth, showing a tendency to break free from the two-person encirclement.

Li Zhiying, after all, was a novice in Mozi sword techniques, and in his first real combat, there were many flaws. Although he and Yuan Zong were attacking Yan Ping together, sometimes they were still flustered by Yan Ping's sword techniques.

Although Yuan Zong's sword techniques were exquisite, he was old, so even after learning the three supplementary techniques of Mozi sword techniques, it was difficult for him to take down Yan Ping in a short time.

Years of combat had made Yan Ping adapt the Mozi sword techniques to suit himself. Driven by the desire to survive, his resilience became extraordinarily strong, and his sword techniques became exceptionally sharp. However, after holding out for a while, he realized that the Mo warriors coming to support him could not get in, and he became flustered.

This flustered state was seized upon by Yuan Zong.

Yuan Zong, who had learned the three supplementary techniques of Mozi sword techniques, had been waiting for this opportunity. He unleashed the new Mozi sword techniques, suppressing Yan Ping's sword techniques.

Puff!!

Suddenly, two jets of mist sprayed out, which were the anti-wolf spray used by Li Zhiying and Yuan Zong.

The two of them sprayed from different directions.

Yan Ping never expected such an attack, and he did not understand what anti-wolf spray was. When the liquid hit his eyes, he could not open them from the pain.

At this moment, Li Zhiying suddenly thrust his sword, piercing through Yan Ping's chest.

After killing Yan Ping, Li Zhiying turned and ran out the door, seeing Shan Rou being surrounded. With the spray, many people found it difficult to subdue her. He immediately shouted, "Yan Ping is dead, Yuan Zong holds the Juzi Order, all Mo warriors must obey Yuan Zong's commands. If you continue to fight, you are rebelling, and rebels will be killed immediately!"

After Li Zhiying's words, the entire crowd fell silent.

However, a few warriors, seeing that Li Zhiying did not have a long sword, rushed at him.

Hiss~

Several steel needles shot out from behind Li Zhiying, piercing the foreheads of those people.

Yuan Zong, holding Yan Ping's corpse, appeared before everyone.

"Yan Ping, my junior, betrayed our ancestors and teacher, and has been punished! Whoever wants to resist will join him in death," Yuan Zong shouted loudly, holding the Juzi Order, "Seeing the Juzi Order is like seeing the Juzi. Whoever resists can be killed by all Mozi followers!"

The entire crowd fell completely silent, and many Mo warriors looked at the Juzi Order in Yuan Zong's hand with uncertain expressions.

"Yan Ping is dead, now is your chance to advance in rank," Li Zhiying pulled the long sword out of Yan Ping's chest and said, "Whoever can point out Yan Ping's confidants and kill them will be promoted in the Mo warriors' guild!"

After Li Zhiying's words, the scene became chaotic.

Then, those who had been suppressed and had ambitions pointed out Yan Ping's confidants, and a new round of killing began...

This round of killing was not just about killing a few of Yan Ping's confidants on the scene, but also included Mo warriors who did not obey Yuan Zong.

The entire killing lasted a whole night!

Such a night was destined to be bloody.

Through the cooperation of Li Zhiying, Yuan Zong, and Shan Rou, they exploited and utilized the internal contradictions of the Mo warriors' guild, finally temporarily taking control of it.

"Senior Yuan Zong can control the Mo warriors' guild, and you have made great contributions," the next day, Shan Rou looked at Li Zhiying with a very special expression, "To be honest, apart from the Juzi Order and Senior Yan Ping's identity, Senior Yuan Zong had no foundation. Now that he has basically taken control of the Mo warriors' guild, you are truly amazing. If I were to do it, the Mo warriors' guild in the State of Zhao would have split into pieces, not been preserved."

"This is just basic control. To take it further, we need to gather the Mo warriors and conduct a deep selection," Li Zhiying said, "Let capable people rise, forming a new group of interests. Of course, this will depend on Senior Yuan Zong's efforts."

"Weren't you plotting to take over the Mo warriors' guild? Why did you refuse when Senior Yuan Zong offered you the position of new Juzi yesterday?" Shan Rou asked after hearing Li Zhiying's words, "This is different from what you told me."

"Because I have decided to improve my sword skills," Li Zhiying replied with a smile, "So for the next period, I will only provide support, and other matters will depend on Senior Yuan Zong."

The dramatic changes in the Mo warriors' guild of the State of Zhao quickly caused a huge stir!

In this turmoil, Yuan Zong announced that Li Zhiying was the honorary Juzi of the Mo warriors' guild, and Mo warriors would treat Li Zhiying as they would the Juzi, quickly making Li Zhiying a focus of attention from all sides!

From the nobles and aristocrats to the common people, although they did not understand what an honorary Juzi was, they had all heard of Li Zhiying's reputation. However, Li Zhiying did not come out to meet people but gathered a group of rootless Mo warriors and trained them using a combination of ancient and modern methods.

These people were the core group that Li Zhiying and Yuan Zong cultivated within the Mo warriors' guild.

After the excitement lasted for a few days, the Mo warriors' guild spread another message.

"From today, the Mo warriors' guild, as Honorary Juzi Li Zhiying said, will establish the heart of heaven and earth, establish the destiny of the people, continue the lost learning of the sages, and open a peaceful era for all future generations!"

When these words were spoken, Handan was shaken!

At this moment, many prestigious families felt that this honorary Juzi was extraordinary and began to take him seriously. Of course, some nobles found Li Juzi very laughable, wondering if he could achieve such a grand vision.

"Master Li, you have become a celebrity in Handan these days, and King Zhao wants to meet you," one evening, Yuan Zong said to Li Zhiying, "Tonight, King Zhao will hold a banquet at the palace and has sent people to invite us."

"Actually, I have long wanted to meet King Zhao, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon. I thought I would have to wait until I announced my identity as an extraterrestrial to catch his attention, but things have come earlier than I expected," Li Zhiying replied with a smile, "Senior Yuan Zong, if we want to grow and strengthen in the State of Zhao, we must interact with the nobles and aristocrats. Also, please call me Xiao Li in the future, not Master Li."

"Master is someone who will accomplish great things, maintaining a certain level of authority is necessary," Yuan Zong said, "To establish the heart of heaven and earth, to establish the destiny of the people, to continue the lost learning of the sages, and to open a peaceful era for all future generations. If our Mo warriors' guild has no rules, it will be scattered and weak, how can we achieve this grand goal?"
