Chapter 296 This Damn Sect Leader
"She herself was fickle and wanted to marry Prince Wu Ling by clinging to the powerful. But she was jealous of me receiving the affection from Master Liu, so she forced us to break up and not allow me to be with him!"
Mo Dacheng finally understood where He Xiang had been saying so many bad things about Qin Qingyao in front of him for so long.
Deep down in her heart, she really thought that the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion and the legitimate princess of the Wuling Palace would be jealous of her because she, a lowly slave, had hooked up with a dandy prodigal son.
How ridiculous all this is.
"What about my sister? What was the original grudge between the princess and my sister that led to such a bitter feud?"
"If she's really as evil as you say, and so unscrupulous, why did I send people to assassinate her so many times, but she just defended herself and never fought back? Is she really a bad person who bullies others?"
"Lin Xiafeng didn't really want you to kill Qin Qingyao."
"What did you say?"
"Prince Wuling protected Qin Qingyao so well. How could the ragtag group you sent out be a match for Qin Qingyao's secret guards? It's such a simple truth, but only you can't understand it, which is why you keep sending people to their deaths."
Mo Dacheng couldn't tell what he was feeling at the moment. He just felt his eyes burning. "Why? Why did she do this? Why didn't you tell me?"
"In order to make you accept the Cangshan Sect as quickly as possible, integrate into the Cangshan Sect, and never look back, in order to let the entire Cangshan Sect know your loyalty to her, in order to hold the power of the entire Cangshan Sect in your hands, and obey her every word."
"What she has always wanted is the power in your hands. She needs manpower."
Mo Dacheng was stunned like a pillar, recalling the past. He really felt that his sister was very good to him, really very good.
But thinking carefully, every time she came, she was complaining and feeling wronged. Every time, it made him hate Qin Qingyao more and feel more distressed for her. To the point that he was finally willing to accept the Cangshan Sect, willing to work for her and support her, and even... kill for her...
"No, no, it's impossible. How could my sister do this to me? She wouldn't do that!"
He Xiang, who was controlled by drugs, had no reaction to Mo Dacheng's collapse, but obediently continued to answer his previous questions.
"The reason I know this is because Lin Xiafeng told me personally. She ordered me to make sure you accept the Cangshan Sect as soon as possible and grow up quickly to be used by her."
"And those missions you were assigned to complete, sending the Cangshan Sect's men to their deaths, were merely a process to urge your growth and increase the hatred between you and the Wuling Palace. If you don't take the first step, you will always be a useless person who dares not hold a knife!"
Mo Dacheng stumbled back two steps. "So, every day I live here with you, you tell me how much my sister needs help and how much I should be the damn leader? Is that right?"
"Yes, I must obey orders. If I disobey Lin Xiafeng, I won't be able to survive."
Mo Dacheng still had many things he wanted to ask, and many things he was unwilling to accept. He wanted to get to the bottom of things, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't say anything.
He suddenly felt that the whole world had become terrible. He ran out as if for his life, desperately telling himself that he had not been here tonight, he had not seen He Xiang, and he had not asked anything.
He just kept running and running, so much so that he even forgot that he was determined to kill Qin Qingyao for Lin Xiafeng tonight.
But the world is so big, where can he run to?
After Mo Dacheng calmed down, he went to meet the two guardians of Cangshan Sect.
"There is no Cangshan Sect in this world anymore. You will have nothing to do with me from now on. Whether you retire from the underworld, marry and have children, or wander around the world and join other sects, it is all your freedom."
"What do you mean, Sect Leader? What do you mean the Cangshan Sect no longer exists?"
Mo Dacheng told the two guardians the fact that the mountain gate had been destroyed, and he remained calm throughout the whole process.
The Cangshan Sect no longer exists. For Mo Dacheng, he feels a lot of guilt, apology, and even shame and self-blame, but he has no hatred, and he has not mentioned a word about revenge for his dead brothers.
Deep down in his heart, he had never truly accepted the position of the head of the Cangshan Sect. If it weren't for helping Lin Xiafeng, he would never have mixed up with these people.
Now, because of his mistake, so many people were buried with him. He felt extremely sorry, so he decided to take responsibility for his own actions.
He announced the dissolution of the Cangshan Sect. He apologized sincerely, but he did not show any sense of responsibility as the leader. He did not want to bear the responsibilities and ethics of the sect as the leader.
Such an attitude really chilled the hearts of the two guardians. So when he left, no one stopped him, and no one asked him where he was going.
On November 11, two major events occurred in Yulin City that shocked the entire city.
The first was that the murderer who assassinated the old lady surrendered himself to the prefectural yamen, and he was just a child under seventeen years old!
The second was that a flood occurred in Ku Shui Lane in the south of the city at dawn, burning more than 20 unidentified men to death.
…
Yesterday, Wu Cheng returned from the Prince's Mansion and reported to Qin Qingyao that he had met Mo Dacheng at the Prince's Mansion.
"He's in Yulin City? Is he still with Lin Xiafeng?"
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes."
"Haha, this loyalty really touched me to death. Is Mo Dacheng a fucking idiot?"
Bai Zhi looked at Qin Qingyao's furious expression and said distressedly, "Princess, calm down. It's not worth it to be angry about him now. He chose the path he took, and he insisted on jumping into the fire pit. There's no way to pull him back. What can you do?"
What made Qin Qingyao most angry was not how devoted Mo Dacheng was to Lin Xiafeng, for which she had been mentally prepared, but the fact that after he killed the old lady, he could still swagger around in Yulin City and even show up in the Prince's Mansion openly?
Does he have no idea of the seriousness of the problem? Does he think that the old lady’s death is not a big deal and there is no need for him to run for his life?
"Wu Gang, send a few people who know him to watch outside the Prince's Mansion. If he comes out..."
Qin Qingyao stopped talking here, struggling with what to do. Bai Zhi said with some dismay, "Princess, you're not still sympathizing with him, are you?"
"Why should I sympathize with him? Everything he did was done willingly. No one forced him to do it."
"I'm just wondering whether we should arrest him right away or play the long game and catch a bigger fish. Follow him and find all the remnants of the Cangshan Sect, and completely cut off Lin Xiafeng's arm!"
Wu Gang, "I think the latter is more appropriate. Mo Dacheng is working for Lin Xiafeng after all. Catching him will only cause Lin Xiafeng to lose a capable general. It will only treat the symptoms, not the root cause."
"Perhaps Lin Xiafeng will use this incident to incite the remnants of the Cangshan Sect to hate the palace. Wouldn't the princess be in even greater danger in the future?"
Qin Qingyao said, "Their hatred towards our palace no longer needs anyone to incite them."
The old nest has been destroyed by the Yanling Army. Once they receive the news, there is no need for Lin Xiafeng to fool them anymore. They will be eager to take revenge.
"Then let's do this. Send someone to follow Mo Dacheng. As long as he stops killing people, don't alert him. Anyone from the Cangshan Sect who comes into contact with him and Lin Xiafeng will be killed without mercy!"
"yes!"
Qin Qingyao originally thought that Mo Dacheng would hide in the Prince's Mansion for a long time. After all, no one would dare to go to the Prince's Mansion to arrest people without the emperor's order.
But she didn't expect that Mo Dacheng would go out that night.
The four secret guards sent by Wu Gang not only heard the entire conversation between Mo Dacheng and He Xiang, but also followed him for three streets.
Finally, they followed him to see the hiding place of the Cangshan Sect elites who had always followed Lin Xiafeng and obeyed her orders.
According to the princess's instructions, they should catch all these people in one fell swoop and leave no one alive.
But there seemed to be twenty or thirty people here, and it was definitely impossible for the four of them to catch them all, so they sent one person back to find help, and the remaining three people stayed there to wait.
When Mo Dacheng left, another person was sent to follow Mo Dacheng.
By the time helpers were dispatched from the palace's personal guards, it was already late at night. They trapped the twenty or so masters in the house and after a hard fight, they completed the task perfectly without letting any of them out.
Seeing that it was almost dawn, they had no time to deal with the bodies, so they set everything on fire.
For Lin Xiafeng, the destruction of the Cangshan Sect actually only destroyed her reserve forces for the future, and these more than 20 people are now her greatest reliance and the most indispensable minions.
This really hit Lin Xiafeng in the heart.
Over the past six months, the atmosphere in Yulin City has been truly eerie and somewhat frightening. Why do these frustrating things always happen? And why is the murderer never caught?
The prefect and the governor of the Nine Gates were both about to commit suicide to apologize for their crimes.
Fortunately, at this time they received great news: the murderer who assassinated the old lady surrendered himself, and they didn't have to die.
…
Dugu Yu slept in the study again last night, and Qin Qingyao decided to give him a final buffer time, so she didn't go to catch him.
After getting up in the morning, she went to the garden to exercise. Just as she stretched, Wu Gang came to report her performance last night.
"You found it already?"
"Yes, no one survived."
"Ahem, well... well done. Hehe, my brothers have all worked so hard. Let's give them two days off to rest. Also, go find the steward and give them each a hundred taels of silver. Consider it a treat for them to drink to calm their nerves!"
Wu Gang looked at the princess's incoherent speech and suddenly felt like laughing. Did she think this was the first time the palace guards had done something like this?
They are all people who crawled out of the battlefield and piles of corpses. How could they be frightened by such a small thing?
