Return of the King, Dominating the City

Chapter 1878 - 1751: On the Brink

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shangtian and Zhu Ji were stunned. We haven’t even started talking, and you’re saying Song Yun is doomed. What do you mean?

Xun noticed the confusion of Zhou Shangtian and Zhu Ji and said, "This time, apart from inviting the forces close to the Blood Flow Path, there are also some neutral individuals. Moreover, a few people were deliberately invited to be killed. Song Yun is one of those who must die."

Zhou Shangtian frowned and asked, "Could it be that Song Yun offended the Blood Flow Path?"

Xun replied, "He has repeatedly hindered our sect’s affairs and even severed Tang Xiaoyun’s arm. This enmity, we of the Blood Flow Path must repay."

Hearing this, Zhou Shangtian and Zhu Ji were overjoyed.

Since the Blood Flow Path wants to deal with Song Yun, he’s doomed for sure.

However, Zhu Ji questioned, "Mr. Xun, since Song Yun has a feud with the Blood Flow Path, he might know you’ll act against him. Why would he still come to this conference?"

Xun said in a serious tone, "Song Yun is very talented, but he overestimates himself. Perhaps within the s-level, few can be his match, but he doesn’t know we have ss-level experts in the Blood Flow Path. This time, he will die a miserable death."

"After the sect’s founding ceremony, there will be the Qi Martial Association, which includes a challenge segment. Anyone can step forward and challenge anyone else. Under the watchful eyes of the public, no one would embarrass themselves by refusing a challenge, let alone someone as self-important as Song Yun. Then, we will send capable people to kill all those opposing the Blood Flow Path rightfully."

Hearing this, Zhou Shangtian and Zhu Ji felt both excited and fearful.

The Blood Flow Path’s tactics are indeed ruthless.

Those who oppose them are all killed. Such actions are entirely the way of the evil path.

It’s not surprising; after all, the Blood Flow Path is not of the righteous path and was once eradicated by the Emei Sect.

Thinking this, Zhu Ji summoned the courage to ask, "Mr. Xun, did you invite the Emei Sect?"

Upon hearing this question, Xun’s expression changed, and his cold eyes fixed on Zhu Ji, saying, "Do not mention the Emei Sect in front of me. This sect will definitely disappear from Huaxia, forever."

Seeing Xun’s icy cold eyes, Zhou Shangtian and Zhu Ji felt a chill in their hearts and fear set in.

"I’ve said what needs to be said, and I hope you won’t betray the Blood Flow Path."

Xun stood up and walked toward the door.

Zhou Shangtian and Zhu Ji escorted him to the door, and only after he left did they breathe a sigh of relief.

When Xun was here just now, they felt an invisible pressure.

"Shangtian, isn’t the Blood Flow Path too sinister? Joining them, I’m..."

"Brother-in-law, you said that our Zhou and Zhu families advance and retreat together. Don’t change your mind. I think the Blood Flow Path will rise, and this is an opportunity for both our families."

"Alright, after all, when handling big matters, surely blood will be shed."

In Song Yun’s room.

Song Yun, Little Sword God, Juan Mao, and Master Bei started chatting excitedly.

Qiu Chumeng sat quietly on the side, enviously watching them, particularly admiring the bond between them.

After Little Sword God finished recounting his story, he looked at Master Bei: "Brother Xiao, tell us about your time at Taishan."

Master Bei recounted, "After we eradicated the Tang Family, I returned to Taishan. Before entering the sect, I encountered someone from the Golden Dragon Palace named Wang Dun, who stopped me. He said I boldly destroyed the Tang Family and disrupted Huaxia’s order and wanted to take me away. At that time, my master intervened and drove Wang Dun away. However, because of my involvement with the Tang Family incident, my master punished me by making me reflect for a year. I was just released recently."

Juan Mao laughed, "You didn’t happen to encounter a master or find a secret manual in the cave, did you, like in the novels?"

Master Bei chuckled and continued, "I initially thought that reflecting on my actions for a year meant no cultivation, but who knew in Wuguo Cave, there was nothing to do. Meals were delivered daily, and without outside disturbance, all my time was devoted to training. The only downside was the loneliness."

Song Yun teased, "Lonely? Don’t you have ten girlfriends?"

"Ah! He has ten girlfriends!"

Qiu Chumeng exclaimed, scrutinizing Master Bei, not thinking he looked like someone with ten girlfriends.

Master Bei twitched his mouth but didn’t explain and continued, "After spending a month in Wuguo Cave, I thought no one would come except the junior brother who delivered the meals. Who knew my master came."

"He gave guidance on my cultivation, provided some Elixir Pills, and then left. After another half month, he returned again."

"Every five days after that, he would come. Only then did I realize that my master didn’t have me in Wuguo Cave to make me reflect, but to provide a quiet environment for focused training."

Hearing this, Song Yun raised an eyebrow, "Master Bei, it seems your master really intends to train you well so you can become the Great Sacrificial Priest."

"Indeed, since my master has spread this news, it won’t change. Even if I’m unfit, my master will certainly make me fit."

A look of gratitude and respect appeared on Master Bei’s face, indicating the high regard he has for his master.

He continued, "When I emerged from Wuguo Cave, I had reached the s-level, which surprised the sect members. For the Qi Martial Association this time, the sect sent me to lead a team, along with two junior brothers, here. I never expected to meet you all; it’s such a coincidence."

"This isn’t a coincidence, it’s destiny."

Song Yun pointed to the sky and laughed.

Little Sword God showed a puzzled expression and asked, "Why did the Golden Dragon Palace look for you guys, but I didn’t encounter anyone from there?"
