Looking down at the hundred-foot-long snake pit, Old Man Lan swallowed hard, thinking that there was still a chance to salvage the situation.
He calmly told them to stop.
"I still have something to say to that traitor..."
Unexpectedly, the henchman named Zhang San kicked him in the buttocks, sending him sprawling without a second thought.
"Get down!"
In the days that followed the Pavilion Master, he also figured out that person's temperament.
The order issued by that person must not be ambiguous.
If he dares to delay, he will definitely suffer the same fate as the previous fools—he will not be valued and will remain a nobody for life.
Fortunately, he had good judgment and was promoted to captain of the action team by the pavilion master.
And they also received corresponding benefits—martial arts manuals as unpredictable and mysterious as the Pavilion Master's.
It opened the door to a new world.
It turns out he also possesses the talent of a martial arts prodigy!
From then on, Zhang San was no longer that insignificant little fry who was only fit to stand guard!
As his strength grows, his future will surely be extraordinary…
There are many other action team leaders like him, who are undoubtedly loyal to the Pavilion Master and extremely fanatical and worshipful.
Their lives were predictable from the beginning; they would either die while on a mission or succumb to poisoning after a failed mission.
They're just lowly fry, disposable commodities. Their lives are worthless.
Now they've almost walked onto another wide avenue!
Zhang San was immediately filled with pride and ambition, determined to follow the sect leader and make a name for himself...
Yu Shuang summoned several capable subordinates and gave them a series of instructions on how to reorganize the Dark Pavilion. Seeing their high spirits and eager expressions, she nodded in satisfaction.
Public support is valuable.
In a short period of time, everyone worked together to reorganize the Dark Pavilion.
There are no despicable means to control members; the main principle is mutual consent, with money as a motivating factor.
And to create a corporate culture that increases cohesion and makes each member feel a sense of belonging to the organization.
Soon a brand new secret society was born, and the information network was restarted.
Yu Shuang felt as if she had the world's affairs under her control.
She also obtained firsthand information from Kyoto.
Seeing the incriminating evidence against those high-ranking officials, the power struggle among those in power in the court was reshuffled.
It has all kinds of information, very comprehensive...
Yu Shuang was even more speechless.
Damn, even with all that power, the male lead still goes through so many fancy and unnecessary things to become a Duke of Zhenguo.
Is he sick?
Show me what you can do…
Speaking of the male lead…
With Jiang Qingyue, the legitimate daughter of the aggrieved party, stepping forward to protect Chen Beiyan from being the murderer, and running around to gather help, she made the most of her connections.
However, some things, once exposed, cannot withstand close scrutiny. Once investigated, they were all confirmed, and his crimes were firmly established.
Because he was once the head of the Dark Secretariat, and the Dark Secretariat had done many things that damaged the face of the court, including assassinating important court officials, his crimes were unforgivable. In the end, he was stripped of his title, his property was confiscated, and he was exiled 3,000 li away.
Now, Yu Shuang, the head of the Dark Pavilion, is wanted nationwide, and a kill order has even been issued in the martial arts world.
Yu Shuang ignored it and continued to observe the initiative of the man and woman.
The male protagonist's martial arts skills were crippled, his tendons were severed, leaving him like a cripple, and he was about to be exiled to a harsh and cold land.
There are hostile enemies watching us from the outside.
Not wanting to implicate the female lead, he wrote a letter of divorce, granting her freedom. The female lead cried and begged to go into exile with him and suffer together.
The man disagreed, but the woman ignored his objections and resolutely followed him. The journey was long and arduous, with wolves lurking all around, and they encountered various hardships and dangers along the way.
Ultimately, the star-crossed lovers found true love amidst hardship, and their relationship blossomed.
As the male and female leads are the main characters, they always manage to escape danger thanks to the protagonist's halo, and there are always cannon fodder who come out to take the fall for them.
They slaughtered countless cannon fodder before finally reaching the harsh, cold north.
A harsh and cold place is hardly a peaceful place.
They suffered oppression just like the local people, so they wanted to cause trouble in this harsh land and incite the people to launch a resistance war.
Those who were exiled there were criminals or the offspring of criminals left behind there.
They stirred up trouble everywhere, successfully provoking conflict between the military and the people. A large-scale riot broke out, killing countless people, but they successfully took control of the city.
And she got involved with a future big shot, the ninth prince who had been demoted to the northern border for making a mistake.
The Ninth Prince admired the male lead's intelligence and took the initiative to recruit him to do his bidding.
He was nominally the highest-ranking official here, but he had no real power and desperately needed an opportunity to gain real power.
The male protagonist also needed a nominal ally, and the two hit it off and launched the rebellion, thus legitimately taking over the North.
However, the northern barbarian cavalry marched south, and a severe crisis ensued.
The city below was isolated and poorly defended. The barbarian cavalry were clearly well-prepared and charged forward, intending to conquer and seize territory.
Chen Beiyan used his clever mind to come up with countless countermeasures, but ultimately rejected them all in disappointment.
The disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves was too great; calling for reinforcements was clearly too late…
"We are bound to lose this battle. The best course of action now is to retreat."
"As long as the green hills remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood."
The Ninth Prince, however, remained resolute and declared with righteous indignation that he would not back down an inch.
Behind him were the people of Great Xia, and he would never easily allow the enemy's iron cavalry to break through the defense line and wantonly ravage the people.
As a prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, he would rather die before the people who follow him.
Chen Beiyan cursed loudly:
"Foolish!! As long as you live, we still have hope! We can avenge those people!! If you die, everything will be gone!? Those people still can't escape death!"
