"Quan Cheng, what does it matter to me whether Li Fan is dead or alive?"

Ling Aotian put down his teacup and said calmly.

He came to seek revenge, but that doesn't mean he intends to ally with the four major families.

"Hengshan Sect!"

Dongfang Quancheng smiled and looked at Ling Aotian.

Ling Aotian was shaken to his core; beneath his calm eyes, a storm was brewing.

How could Dongfang Quancheng know about the Yokoyama Sect?

What happened to the Yokoyama Sect?

Ling Aotian asked in return without changing his expression.

"Three hours ago, I led my men to ambush and kill Jiang Xue outside the city."

On the other side, Jixia Academy only sent Liu Jingyan.

They can't even send more powerful people to Jiangzhou, so where would they get the strength to destroy Hengshan Sect?

Of course, your movements are well-hidden.

"If my men hadn't happened to be staying at this inn, I probably wouldn't have known that this matter was related to Lord Ling."

Dongfang Quancheng looked at Ling Aotian.

These words were undoubtedly a showdown.

He knew that Ling Aotian would agree.

Ling Aotian continued the topic of Hengshan Sect, looking at Dongfang Quancheng and asking in return, "Dealing with Li Fan is possible, but do you really know his trump cards?"

"To be honest, I don't know yet."

Dongfang Quancheng shook his head and said.

"In the battle of Yunzhou, Zhou Wucheng's trump card was the Overlord!"

He was stopped by a man named Li Tianjun, who used immortal techniques.

He held off the Overlord, and Ji Nanfei of the Wenxian Pavilion also made an appearance.

Everyone present, except for the Overlord, was killed with a single strike.

That strike was a divine power left behind by Chen Kui.

Since Bei Ming Tun Qiong is Li Fan in disguise, then Wu Qi is very likely Chen Kui.

Having decided to join forces, Ling Aotian naturally wouldn't hide anything.

He did not doubt the strength of the four major families, but he did not want to be caught in the crossfire because the four major families underestimated him.

The purpose of highlighting Chen Kui's existence and power was to gauge Dongfang Quan Cheng's reaction.

"Li Tianjun and Chen Kui are indeed a bit troublesome."

Dongfang Quancheng changed the subject and continued, "But that's all. The fact that Bawang was able to escape unscathed means that Chen Kui's injuries haven't fully healed. As for that Li Tianjun, he's at most a half-immortal. We can still handle such a lineup."

"Quan Cheng is so confident?"

Even Ling Aotian couldn't help but be curious about Dongfang Quancheng's words.

After all, Li Fan's side was overwhelmingly strong on paper this time.

Even though Chen Kui was still seriously injured, his combat power could still reach the top five of the Heavenly Hero Ranking.

Since that mysterious half-immortal was able to hold off the Overlord, his strength is estimated to be around the top ten on the Heavenly Hero Ranking.

In addition, there's Tong Wu, ranked tenth on the Tianxiong List; Li Feitian, ranked thirteenth on the Tianxiong List; and Long Daoji, ranked seventeenth on the Tianxiong List.

There are at least five top-tier experts alone.

Besides them, there are also Li Fan and Jiang Xue, both at the late stage of the tenth-grade Dharma Image realm, and Wang Tianzuo, who may unleash the power of the Heavenly Hero Ranking.

Ling Aotian was curious about where Dongfang Quancheng's confidence came from.

"Brother Ling, rest assured, I have the confidence to say this!"

Dongfang Quancheng did not elaborate.

"Quan Cheng, I agree to the cooperation, but I can't send my men to their deaths."

Ling Aotian continued, "I'll handle Long Daoji; I don't care about the others!"

"Can!"

Dongfang Quancheng nodded in agreement; this was the best possible outcome.

In the upcoming great battle, only the strongest on the Heavenly Hero Ranking will be able to change the course of the battle.

It's already quite an achievement that Ling Aotian can hold off Long Daoji.

......

February 10th, early morning.

Eighty miles southwest of Hanjiang County, in Honghua Town, a massacre is underway.

Two figures, one in gold and one in white, transformed into rainbows and traversed the town, annihilating all living beings in their wake.

This applies to both ordinary people and martial artists.

By the time the sun rose, there was no one left alive in Honghua Town.

"Your Excellency, should we deal with the ants that are following us?"

The woman in the white dress looked into the distance, her vertical pupils filled with murderous intent.

"No need, let them continue following."

Jin Yao's lips curved slightly.

It would be pointless to take action now.

Keep these people around and let them spread the word. Then a few Dharma images can have a good feast.

Having finally managed to get out of town, he wasn't about to waste the opportunity.

As for the consequences, Jin Yao wasn't worried at all.

After all, it was humans who first led the demon race, who had awakened their primordial supernatural powers, out of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains!

......

"Still too weak!"

Looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground, Xu Yan felt heavy-hearted but helpless.

He knew very well that even if he caught up with the two demonic beasts, there was nothing he could do.

Those capable of transforming into human form are at least tenth-grade Dharma-image demonic beasts.

All Xu Yan could do was wait for reinforcements.

He believed that Yan Mingshu, who knew about this, would definitely bring people over.

"You audacious madman, you dare to come back after causing such a massacre? You're courting death!"

Just as Xu Yan was about to continue the pursuit, an angry shout rang out.

The person who spoke came astray.

The supernatural power surged towards Xu Yan, aiming to crush him.

As he made his move, figures rushed out of houses in Red Flower Town.

"kill!"

"Surround and kill this scoundrel!"

"We can't let him get away!"

Shouts of battle came from all directions.

"Shameless!"

Seeing the crowd charging towards him, Xu Yan's face showed a hint of anger.

The corpses left in Honghua Town clearly showed signs of being devoured by monsters.

These martial artists, instead of giving chase, are lying in ambush here, clearly because they dare not pursue.

They probably surrounded and attacked him just to find someone to take the blame.

Xu Yan made a move and forced the leader to retreat.

He didn't linger, but instead broke through the encirclement and chased after the direction the monster had left.

......

"Chief Constable, shall we pursue them or not?"

After Xu Yan left, the group of martial artists who had set up the ambush gathered together.

Everyone looked at the person who had made the first move. That person was none other than Wang Jinchun, the chief constable of Jianghan County.

"Don't pursue them. Go back immediately and issue an arrest warrant!"

Looking in the direction Xu Yan left, Wang Jinchun smiled slightly.

This is truly an unexpected delight for a disciple of the Vajra Sect.

Li Fan was killed, and a powerful figure from Tiandu came to Jiangzhou.

All of this points to one thing: the layout of the Jixia Academy in the three southern prefectures was flawed.

If I could pin the massacre of the town and village in Jianghan County on that Vajra Sect disciple, the bigwigs in the state capital would definitely be very happy.

Who would miss such a great opportunity?

As for who destroyed Honghua Town, he didn't care, the powerful and wealthy in the county didn't care, and the big shots in the state capital cared even less.

......

Jianghan County City, Prefectural Governor's Office.

After hearing Wang Jinchun's plan, Liu Xiang, the governor of Jianghan County, immediately summoned the leaders of various factions.

In less than an hour, a brand new arrest warrant was issued.

Led by the Jianghan County Military Command, a joint arrest team composed of various forces set off.

At the same time, a martial artist set out to deliver the message to Tianjiang City.

......

At noon, a horse-drawn carriage stopped outside the Wusi (military office) in Tianjiang Town.

The man driving the car had a stern expression.

"This is a restricted area of ​​the Zhenwu Division; unauthorized personnel are not permitted to enter!"

The patrolling warriors stepped forward to drive them away.

"roll!"

The driver snorted coldly, his aura as a tenth-grade Dharma Image intimidating the entire scene.
