Chapter 99 The Unethical Sect Leader Wen
"Quick, loot it!!"
"The Gao Family is finished! Take back everything they stole!"
"Hahaha! The entire Gao Family has been wiped out! So what if they were a Prodigy? So what if they were in the Sixth Realm?"
Within the spacious grounds of the Gao Family estate, a large number of Martial Artists rushed in, looting frantically while the family was being wiped out.
This once-glorious local noble family was now filled with smoke and fire, with people running everywhere carrying antiques, paintings, and other valuables.
The Gao Family had been in Linshui Prefecture for many years, doing their utmost to oppress and bully the common people; at this moment, no one sympathized with them, and everyone was looting in the chaos.
There were also no shortage of those who delighted in their misfortune.
"Insolence!!"
"The Six Doors has issued an order! Seal off the Gao Family estate; anyone who dares to loot in the chaos will be executed without mercy!"
Members of the Six Doors arrived immediately. Before they could be shocked by the corpses covering the ground and the thick scent of blood lingering in the air, they began to restore order.
"Screw your Six Doors! We didn't see you doing anything when the Gao Family was committing evil, and now you come out and act all high and mighty!"
"Exactly, a bunch of cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong!"
"You're courting death!"
The leading Green Uniform Head Constable of the Six Doors was furious, his face flushed with anger. He drew his Liaofeng Saber and slashed out with a cyan Saber Qi.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
The man looked disdainful, flicking his palm out. With a boom, he shattered the Saber Qi, and the remaining force flew towards the Six Doors Constable unabated.
Pfft!
This palm strike sent the opponent flying several meters. He threw his head back and spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with shock, unable to stand up for a moment.
"Heh heh..."
The man sneered and shouted: "Everyone, ignore the running dogs of the Six Doors, keep looting!"
"After looting, let's go to Longhua Prefecture to join Great Hero Yan!!"
"Alright!!"
"Haha! I've long found these running dogs of the Six Doors an eyesore!"
"Loot to your heart's content—"
Boom!
At this moment, a tall figure descended like a divine soldier. A powerful Aura erupted, enveloping nearly a hundred meters around.
"Daring to speak rudely to the Six Doors, I think you have lived long enough!"
The newcomer had a gloomy expression. Looking at the chaotic scene, he pointed a finger.
With a puff, the man who had just sent the Green Uniform Head Constable flying screamed as he was instantly exploded by that finger, turning into a blood mist that drifted with the wind onto the terrified crowd.
"Six... Doors, Commander... Xiao Jun..."
Someone tremblingly read out the newcomer's name.
This Commander of the Six Fan School, who usually had a low profile in Linshui Prefecture, had suppressed the entire scene with his overwhelming methods the moment he appeared.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As Xiao Jun's Aura grew stronger and stronger, one Martial Artist after another knelt on the ground, unable to control their fear.
"Quick! Hurry up!!"
"It's Commander!"
More and more Six Doors Constables arrived at the scene, hurrying to pay their respects upon seeing Xiao Jun.
Xiao Jun's expression was cold as he ordered:
"Take everyone who was looting during the chaos to the prison and wait for further instructions!"
"Yes!"
Immediately, the Six Doors Constables stepped forward, subdued the dejected Martial Artists present, and took them away.
Xiao Jun walked into the Gao Family estate, which was littered with corpses. Seeing the bodies, his expression turned grave.
Especially when he noticed the corpse of Zhai Jing, a Grandmaster from the Hidden Sword Palace, his expression became even uglier.
He knew about Zhai Jing coming to Linshui Prefecture.
He just didn't expect that even a Grandmaster couldn't escape Blade Demon Yan Chu's lethal hands.
The Saber Intent remaining in the corpses made his skin sting. As a Sixth Realm Martial Artist, he couldn't even get close to the bodies.
"Stop! Who goes there?"
Suddenly, the Six Doors Constable guarding the outside shouted.
Xiao Jun looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged man with a large saber on his back appearing outside the Gao Family estate.
The man had a cold expression and a tall build.
He seemed not to hear the Six Doors Constable's warning. With just a glance, everyone became dazed, watching helplessly as he entered the Gao Family estate, unable to stop him.
"You are... Sect Master of the Cold Blade Sect, Wen Yong?"
Xiao Jun recognized the newcomer.
The Six Doors possessed information on all Grandmasters in Cangzhou Prefecture, and Wen Yong was one of them.
As one of the Five Surnames and Three Sects in Cangzhou Prefecture, the Cold Blade Sect had been established for hundreds of years, with a Grandmaster presiding in every generation.
The current Sect Master, Wen Yong, possessed Cold Ice Saber techniques that few could rival. He had fought three times against Sect Master Yu Mengzhu of the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect, with neither side emerging victorious.
People in the Jianghu called them the Peerless Saber and Sword!
"I arrived too late..."
Ignoring Xiao Jun, who was standing to the side, Wen Yong walked calmly to Zhai Jing's corpse, closed his eyes, and reached out to sense the remaining Saber Intent in the air, his expression gradually becoming grave.
Xiao Jun watched coldly from the sidelines.
Only when Wen Yong opened his eyes did he speak:
"Sect Master Wen, this place is now under the jurisdiction of the Six Doors. What are you here for?"
Wen Yong did not turn back, flicking a token with his finger.
Xiao Jun caught it, seeing two small characters engraved on it: "Annan".
"Marquis of Annan's Estate?!"
Xiao Jun's expression changed slightly.
The Marquis of Annan's Estate was the greatest power in Cangzhou Prefecture. The Old Marquis Sima Tao had dominated Cangzhou Prefecture for decades and had once followed the former Emperor on an expedition to Southern Wei, establishing great military achievements.
In Cangzhou Prefecture, the Six Doors also had to act according to the Marquis's Estate's wishes.
The current Marquis, Sima Yutang, also served as the Governor of Cangzhou, which was enough to show how much the imperial court trusted the Marquis of Annan's Estate.
Wen Yong withdrew his gaze and said:
"This Sect Master has received the Marquis's order to come and execute the Blade Demon Yan Chu!"
"I will take Zhai Jing's corpse. He was my close friend, and I want to personally deliver him to the Hidden Sword Palace."
"This..."
Xiao Jun pondered for a moment, then nodded and smiled: "Alright! Since it is the Marquis's order, Sect Master Wen, please feel free."
"Yan Chu has committed such a massacre; it would be best if Sect Master Wen could execute him with your saber."
"Do you need the Six Doors to provide you with Yan Chu's whereabouts?"
Wen Yong shook his head, "No need!"
He looked towards the direction of Longhua Prefecture in the north and said:
"I will go to the Raging Flood Dragon Gang myself to wait for Yan Chu. His woman is there; I believe he will return!"
Wen Yong's tone was calm but carried a hint of killing intent, which made Xiao Jun's heart shudder.
In the Jianghu, one is not afraid of provoking enemies; one is only afraid of enemies who do not play by the rules.
It was clear that this Sect Master Wen before him was someone who did not play by the rules.
Xiao Jun couldn't help but recall some of the rumors in the Jianghu about this Sect Master Wen.
It was rumored that when he was young, there was another Disciple in the Cold Blade Sect who had higher Aptitude than him, and the Old Sect Master originally favored that person as his successor.
Upon learning this, Wen Yong used sweet talk to deceive the Old Sect Master's daughter, and the two became pregnant out of wedlock.
With his daughter crying, making scenes, and threatening suicide, the Old Sect Master had no choice but to name Wen Yong as his successor, consuming vast resources and effort to cultivate him into a Grandmaster.
A few years later, the Old Sect Master passed away from old age.
Strangely, not long after the Old Sect Master passed away, that Cold Blade Sect Genius, whose Aptitude was originally far superior to Wen Yong's, was caught attempting to commit misconduct against a female Disciple in the Sect, killed someone, and fled the Sect.
Wen Yong's wife, the Old Sect Master's daughter, fell ill from missing her father and passed away not long after the Old Sect Master died.
Their daughter, a little girl of only eight years old, accidentally fell off a cliff while playing and died.
The series of tragedies in the Cold Blade Sect amazed people in the Jianghu.
Externally, the Cold Blade Sect announced that Sect Master Wen Yong was overcome with grief and would be in seclusion for ten years, and the Cold Blade Sect also sealed its mountain gate for ten years.
Ten years later, the Cold Blade Sect reopened its mountain gate.
Everyone discovered that all the powerful figures within the Sect had been replaced by new faces, and the entire Cold Blade Sect had become as solid as a rock.
