Chapter 630: The Second Fire
Ye Dong's proposal made all the fifteen people in the hall change color, and they had no objection to killing the nine murderers, but Ye Dong actually wanted to give the murderer's body to the sect master of the Wuji Sect, and hang the murderer's head on the top of the peak of Pianhong Peak to show the public, this is simply a provocation to the Wuji Sect!
Even Pei Xingyun, Pan Chaoyang and others felt that Ye Dong's approach was a bit too extreme and impulsive. The latest free chapters of the book can be found here.
Elder Han Minglin frowned and said boldly: "Although the purpose of the Wuji Sect in issuing the battle letter is to annex our Cihang Sect, at least they did not lead the crowd to directly attack, and there is still room for turnaround, but if we do this, it is equivalent to cutting off all retreats......
Ye Dong waved his hand to interrupt Han Minglin's words and said, "Elder Han is right, the Wuji Sect has left us leeway, but if we don't dare to speak out even if the disciples of our sect are killed in order to retain this little leeway, and even the murderer has to be sent back unharmed, then what kind of face do we have to face the disciples of this sect?"
I have to say that Ye Dong's words are indeed very incendiary, which makes people's blood boil when they hear it, and they sweep away the scruples in their hearts just now.
However, Shang Tianxiang smiled unceremoniously and said with a cold smile: "Sect Master, it seems that you want to lead all the disciples of the Cihang Sect into the abyss of no return!"
Ye Dong swept Shang Tianxiang and said, "Ten Thousand Tribulations will not be recovered?" Elder Shang is right, but it is not our Cihang Sect that has stepped into the Ten Thousand Tribulations, but the Wuji Sect! Since they dare to send someone to assassinate the disciples of this sect, then we have to let them, let all the sects know that anyone who dares to come to invade my Cihang Sect must pay the price!"
Ye Dong's words strongly stated his position and Cihangzong's position, but Shang Tianxiang still gritted his teeth and said: "Hmph, this approach is too reckless, I don't agree!"
Shang Tianxiang's attitude, Ye Dong was not surprised at all, and said with a cold smile: "Elder Shang, I think the older you are, the less courageous you are, if you are afraid, or if you feel that you are a little powerless for the identity of the chief elder, then I can let Elder Shang return to the field, find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and live for a long time!"
"You!"
Shang Tianxiang Huo Ran stood up, anger burst out in his eyes, but Ye Dong looked at him without flinching, and in his sharp eyes, the strong battle intent was once again condensed into a sharp sword out of the sheath, pointing directly at Shang Tianxiang.
Do it now?
This thought popped up in Shang Tianxiang's heart, but unfortunately, he had no confidence that he could win against Ye Dong at all, so he could only snort, sit down again, and say no more.
Shang Tianxiang's second softness!
Ye Dong retracted the battle intent in his gaze, and said with a slight smile: "A few days ago, when I first came to the gate of Benzong Mountain, there was a hall master named Zeng Feiyu, who seemed to be Elder Shang's apprentice, he committed a crime, and dared to snatch the Liu Mu Ling in front of me, and I taught him a little lesson, and then ordered him to be locked up!"
For Zeng Feiyu, no one here is unfamiliar, because he is Shang Tianxiang's disciple, although he is also the hall master, but he is only the deputy hall master, and he is not among the nine halls, and this is also deliberately arranged by Shang Tianxiang, after all, if he is directly made the hall master, I am afraid that some people will not be convinced, so let him start with the deputy hall master first, and then promote him to the hall master when the time is right.
However, Zeng Feiyu relied on Shang Tianxiang's support, even Jiutang and the fifth elder wanted to give him some face, but no one expected that Ye Dong would lock him up.
When Shang Tianxiang heard this, his face couldn't help but change again, he had been wondering why Zeng Feiyu had disappeared in the past few days, and thought that he had gone to the bottom of the mountain to look for flowers and ask Liu, but he didn't pay attention to it, but now he realized that he had been locked up by Ye Dong.
Although Shang Tianxiang intended to exonerate him, he couldn't find a reason at all, because snatching the willow wood order was too big, even if Ye Dong killed him directly, no one would have anything to say.
Therefore, Shang Tianxiang could only stare at Ye Dongdao coldly: "Since Zeng Feiyu dares to be disrespectful to the sect master, he also deserves it, but I don't understand what you are doing with this matter now?
Ye Dong smiled and said: "Elder Shang is a little restless, Zeng Feiyu has no respect for the elder, this is naturally his own bad behavior, what can it have to do with Elder Shang, the reason why I mention this matter is because I told Zeng Feiyu at that time that the new official took office with three fires, and cleaning him up was the first fire I put on!"
"Then, killing the nine murderers of the Wuji Sect and showing them to the public will be the second fire I have set out!"
Ye Dong's words were categorical, obviously, his second fire was much bigger than the first one!
Everyone in the hall was silent, and they were all thinking about the same question in their hearts, that is, when will Ye Dong's third fire be released!
Just as Ye Dong was about to continue, suddenly a melodious bell rang on the entire Cihang Mountain.
The bell rang five times, which meant that there were sect master-level figures coming to worship the mountain, and Ye Dong understood after thinking about it slightly, obviously it was the sect masters of some other sects who were invited by Pan Chaoyang to come to watch the battle.
"Chaoyang, you go and deal with the affairs of the nine disciples of the Wuji Sect, and the others will go to the mountain gate with me!"
Sure enough, outside the mountain gate of Cihang Mountain were the three real people led by Tianxin Zhenren, and in the next two days, except for the Holy Buddha Son Prajna and the three Lei Zhan who had left to chase Mo Linglong, the other invited sect masters all arrived at Cihang Sect one after another.
In fact, these sect masters were certainly invited to watch the battle, cheer for Ye Dong, and help him sit firmly in the position of the sect master of Cihang Sect, but they also had their own reasons why they had to come.
Although in normal times, they are all separate sects, and they also have some small friction with each other, and even want to annex other sects, but from the entire large geographical division, they are all from the Vermilion Bird Continent and are one, while the Wuji Sect that came to challenge them is from the Qinglong Continent!
This kind of war across continents will involve not just one single sect, but all sects.
In other words, Wuji Sect is equivalent to the public enemy of the entire Vermilion Bird Continent!
If the Wuji Sect really annexed the Cihang Sect, the most powerful sect in the Vermilion Bird Continent, then it can also be said that all the forces on the entire Vermilion Bird Continent would have to submit to the Wuji Sect from now on, or to the Qinglong Continent.
Therefore, the sect masters of the various sects are now also the same enemy, and they all hope that the Cihang Sect can defeat the people of the Wuji Sect and continue to maintain the independent status of the Vermilion Bird Continent.
