Chapter 37 The world does not revolve around one man
Time goes back to before these murderers went south to Guangfu to find trouble with the Divine Tree Sect.
The starting point of the incident was that three of the White Lotus Cultists who had been taken in by the Canton government had escaped from the dungeon and returned to the Northern Prefecture Capital, which was the headquarters of the White Lotus Sect.
However, at the headquarters of the White Lotus Sect, the way to greet these three people was not to set up a banquet to appease people's hearts, but to be put in prison and tortured by high-ranking people.
When they were brought forward for interrogation, they appeared in front of the high-ranking members of the White Lotus Sect with bruises all over their bodies and mental breakdowns.
At first, the torture went smoothly, and the three of them almost answered all questions, although they spoke incoherently, but the high-ranking people of the White Lotus Sect could barely piece together the reason why only the three of them were left.
In summary, there are two points.
First, the reason why the White Lotus Sect lost contact with the altar in Guangfu for a time has been investigated, and the altar has become a wasteland, and the murderer is the Divine Tree Sect.
Second, the reason why the southbound investigation team was wiped out was because the Divine Tree Sect Leader took action.
When they heard this news, the headquarters of the White Lotus Sect was furious, and they all shouted that they would cut the Divine Tree Sect with a thousand knives.
The White Lotus Sect Leader Zhenren was very calm, and after suppressing the emotions of the White Lotus Sect, he continued to torture, wanting to ask about the specific situation of the Divine Tree Sect, such as how many people there were in the Divine Tree Sect, the strength and face of the Divine Tree Sect Leader, and so on.
It's okay not to ask, but as soon as they asked what Shen Zhu's face was, the three of them began to show horror and tremble.
They hallucinated, and seemed to see a glowing Shen Zhu appear in the sky above the White Lotus Sect's headquarters. It is like turning into a god who lives in the nine heavens, walking down to the mortal world step by step, and his eyes reveal the indifference and ruthlessness of reason.
Then, they saw a group of people bullying and besieging Shen Zhu, and soon, the three of them found their figure in the crowd, and the three of them were hiding behind in horror, watching Shen Zhu treat human life like a mustard, one step at a time, harvesting and destroying at will, and there was no trace of blood on his body.
Seeing Shen Zhu gradually walking towards the three of them, the sickle was about to be harvested on his neck.
"Don't come here, give me the demon to go away!"
"It's none of my business, I'm passing through."
"Mother, I want to drink grandma'......"
……
In the end, the three of them had a complete nervous breakdown in the surprised eyes of the high-ranking people of the White Lotus Sect, and shouted these words with demented faces.
After the torture ended, the White Lotus Sect began to discuss the matter of the Divine Tree Sect.
At this time, the White Lotus Sect was divided into two factions, one group of people said that the Divine Tree Sect was provoking the majesty of the White Lotus Sect, and they should directly come to the city with a large army, uproot the Divine Tree Sect, and make an example of the chickens and monkeys, otherwise who would be afraid of the White Lotus Sect's murderous reputation in the future.
The other group was calmer, and they agreed to exterminate the Divine Tree Cult, but they couldn't act rashly.
First, the Divine Tree Sect is in Guangfu and is not in their sphere of influence, and the White Lotus Sect has been destroyed at the mouth of the altar in Guangfu, so they are now beyond the reach of the whip.
In the unlikely event that when they went south on a large scale to hunt down the Divine Tree Sect, the government or hostile forces noticed that the White Lotus Sect's base camp had become a bluff, then wouldn't their territory in the northern state capital be handed over to others, and then exiled, or be taken over by the government.
In this case, even if they cut the Divine Tree Sect with a thousand knives and chop it into meat sauce, it will be more than worth the loss.
Therefore, on the grounds of insurance, the White Lotus Sect issued a high reward and summoned a group of powerful outlaws to go south to Guangfu to find trouble with the Divine Tree Sect.
As the saying goes, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, not to mention, the White Lotus Sect also learns the style of the ancients, and makes a vacant recruitment order to come out, otherwise, the outlaws choose the White Lotus Sect's intelligence network and hiding places, etc.
Money, power, intelligence networks, shelters, and beauties, how can they not make those outlaws who have no clothes and food all day long sad and happy, and weep?
……
The assailants came to Quang Fu at noon today, but unfortunately they were one step late, and by the time they arrived at Shamian, the martial arts competition had already ended, but they learned a good news and a bad news. The bad news is that the Divine Tree Sect Leader and the Admiral of the Guangfu Government are friends.
And the good news is that tonight, there is still a competition with foreigners on the Shamian side.
As a result, the assailants felt that the best time to do so was at sunset.
After all, Guangfu had become the territory of the Divine Tree Sect, and if they stayed for a long time, they would inevitably show their feet. When the time comes, won't they have to face the suppression of the Divine Tree Sect and the government.
Fearing that the sound of the tragic fighting would alarm and attract the suppression of the officers and soldiers, the murderers initially crept into Guanyin Mountain and assassinated the mountain patrol team.
However, when they were halfway up the mountain, they were spotted by Deacon Fang, and then let out a miserable scream before they died, and at this moment, the murderers were a little annoyed, for fear that the Divine Tree Sect Leader would hide because of this, in this case, wouldn't they return empty-handed, but now that the beheading operation was halfway through, they were unwilling to give up and leave, so they could only kill on the top of the mountain.
To their surprise and delight, halfway through, they caught a big fish, and the Divine Tree Sect Leader actually went out with only one person.
Alone, in the wilderness, at sunset...... It's simply a good time and a good place to kill people and set fires.
……
In this way, fate is so wonderful, this world is not just revolving around one person, Shen Zhu is moving around, trying to plot against others, and now he is facing the plans of others at this moment.
The topic continues on the last round, now at the moment.
At the moment when they saw Shen Zhu's footsteps, the eleven murderers didn't say much, their eyes showed fierceness, and they all used their best skills.
First, five bare-handed murderers rushed forward together, forming a net of heaven and earth, blocking the space for Shen Zhu to dodge. Then, six men with swords, sticks and other weapons in their hands then surrounded and hid behind the figures of the five murderers, making it difficult for Shen Zhu to detect the next attack.
The man wearing the golden lotus crown had a smile on his face, and his eyes were shining. As soon as he turned his hand, he twisted a silver dart smeared with venom in each of his left and right hands, one end was pitch black, and the other end was extraordinarily silver.
It can be said that in this instant, Shen Zhu had several sharp fist and foot attacks in the four directions of front and back, left and right, plus the blade edge hidden in the shadows. Even though he turned into three heads and six arms for a while, repelling the first wave of attacks, but the second wave of attacks that followed, what did Shen Zhu do to resist, could he be bare-handed?
Not to mention the presence of a malevolent malevolent man on his side, ready to activate the venom-smeared secret weapon.
Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Shen Zhu has been caught in a desperate situation, and it is a matter of time before he dies outside the wilderness.
