72: Just a bunch of you trash?

Ever since the Five Colors Sect suffered the full encirclement and suppression by Great Han, several Great Grandmasters within the sect, whose strength was already close to that of Land Immortals, were also killed.

Great Grandmasters are extremely powerful, having comprehended the true meaning of the Martial Dao. It would have been very difficult for Great Han alone to kill the Great Grandmasters of the Five Colors Sect.

However, back then, the Five Colors Sect had grown too powerful and its reputation was too notorious. The siege on the Five Colors Sect was not only by Great Han; several powerful top Schools were also persuaded by the Great Han Imperial Family and participated in the encirclement.

As a result, the Five Colors Sect naturally fell into a disadvantage. Several Great Grandmasters successively perished, and the sect transitioned from overt to covert, splitting into several small factions, gradually disappearing from public view thereafter.

And the Black Lotus Sect is a School that has long been active in Huling Prefecture.

In the past, the Five Colors Sect was divided into five halls, each led by a Five Colors Sect Master. After the Five Colors Sect was disbanded, the small group of survivors from the Black Hall reorganized and re-established the Black Lotus Sect!

Additionally, there are four other Schools: White Lotus, Green Lotus, Red Lotus, and Yellow Lotus, also developing in secret.

When the five lotus flowers reunite one day... that will be the time for the Five Colors Sect to make a comeback!

Half a month ago.

The person in charge of the Zhu Family in Nanfu County came over, wanting to hire people from the Black Lotus Sect to take down the Mu Family's migrating caravan, promising a hefty sum as a reward.

Fang Long, as the leader of the Black Lotus Sect, originally looked down on the gold and silver promised by the Zhu Family. Just as he was about to refuse, he heard that the Mu Family actually had a background with the Pine Crane Longevity Sect, which changed the nature of things.

When the Five Colors Sect was besieged back then... the Pine Crane Longevity Sect was also among them!

One of the Great Grandmasters of the Five Colors Sect died at the hands of the Pine Crane Longevity Sect!

"Pine Crane Longevity Sect, huh..."

Fang Long's mind immediately became active.

He had recently heard some rumors that the Pine Crane Longevity Sect was in trouble, and it seemed someone was planning to act against them. The current situation was very delicate.

The Pine Crane Longevity Sect is not a small force, and the people planning to act against the Pine Crane Longevity Sect also seemed to be of no small origin... This was undoubtedly an opportunity!

If Fang Long assisted the Zhu Family this time and killed the Disciples of the Pine Crane Longevity Sect, and the Pine Crane Longevity Sect's reaction was minimal or nonexistent... then it would indicate that the Pine Crane Longevity Sect was in great trouble this time, and the other party had no extra energy to spare for its Disciples.

If that were truly the case... then it would be even better!

Fang Long would then lead his people to directly attack the Pine Crane Longevity Sect!

No matter who was planning to act against the Pine Crane Longevity Sect, they could follow behind and ride the coattails of the battle, seizing the opportunity to gain some benefits.

If the conditions were right... it wouldn't be impossible to completely annihilate the Pine Crane Longevity Sect!

After all, the Pine Crane Longevity Sect severely damaged the Five Colors Sect back then, and this grudge could not go unavenged.

Regarding the Pine Crane Longevity Sect matter, Fang Long also informed the leaders of the other four Lotus Schools, waiting for the opportune moment for everyone to advance and retreat together!

They were all people struggling to survive in the shadows, keen and deadly, like sharks, swarming in at the slightest scent of blood, devouring their prey completely.

Finally, Fang Zhuo agreed to the Zhu Family's request, promising to help them deal with the Mu Family's people.

The person in charge of the Zhu Family left with joy, while Fang Long sneered, seemingly already seeing the scene of great disaster approaching the Pine Crane Longevity Sect.

This time, to ambush the Mu Family's caravan, Fang Long brought several experts from the Black Lotus Sect and had been waiting here early, quietly observing the battle raging in the distance.

"Lord Fang, are you still not making a move?"

"The people I hired are almost all dead."

A short, stout fatty anxiously said from the side, "Those people from the Mu Family are about to escape."

But Fang Long's expression remained calm as he slowly said, "Don't worry, Zhu Zuogeng, with me here... they won't escape."

Discovering that there was a True Essence Realm Martial Artist in the Mu Family's team, and that he was using the Pine Crane Longevity Art, made Fang Long even more excited!

"Then I'll kill you first... and then see how the Pine Crane Longevity Sect reacts."

Fang Long's face contorted into a malevolent grin, and he let out a low shout, "You few, follow me and kill!"

The figures of the Black Lotus Sect's experts moved in unison, rushing towards Li Qi.

Waves of powerful killing intent assailed from one side!

Li Qi raised an eyebrow, turning his head to look into the distance, only to see several figures rapidly approaching.

Three True Essence Realm!

And four True Qi Realm!

The aura emanating from them was gloomy and chilling, very different from other Martial Artists. Li Qi understood, guessing that these few people were the remnants of the Five Colors Sect.

Li Qi swept his sword, and Sword Qi formed a ring, radiating outwards. All the bandits within a hundred steps were cut in half by Li Qi, dying miserably on the ground.

Such a display of power made the expressions of the rushing Black Lotus Sect experts subtly change.

"Sword Qi manifesting into form?"

"Is this a... Sword Master?"

In an instant, Fang Long and the others arrived at the battlefield, their expressions solemn as they said.

"I never thought I'd see a Sword Master here."

"But it's a pity... you must die here today."

Mu Xingyu, who was battling the remaining bandits, his expression changed drastically. He also saw Fang Long and the others approaching, and felt the aura emanating from them.

"Three True Essence Realm?!"

"How is that possible!"

He had investigated information about the local Five Colors Sect remnants, which stated that there were most likely no True Essence Realm experts, only some minor True Qi Realm characters, not difficult to deal with.

But now, three True Essence Realm existences had appeared, which filled his heart with dread.

"What should I do?"

"Although Senior Brother is also in the True Essence Realm, fighting one against three is still too dangerous."

Pain and regret surged into his heart one after another.

Perhaps the Mu Family should not have moved, and perhaps Senior Brother should not have been called here.

As Mu Xingyu's heart was filled with panic and disarray, Li Qi's face remained calm and unperturbed.

"Want to kill me?"

"Just with you few useless people?"

As soon as his voice fell, Li Qi charged with his sword towards these remnants of the Five Colors Sect...
