Chapter 363 - 275: One Thought to Become a Demon (Part 1)_2
Tan Lang thought for a moment and said, "You make a valid point. I carefully considered why top powers have influence far exceeding those of super first-class influences. It’s because of the presence of Supreme Grandmasters. Even if there’s a gap at some point, there will always be a genius to fill it. A single line divides them, yet the difference is immense!"
Gu Zhan smiled slightly,
The Beidou Bang is a typical example. Because of one Mo Jingzhou, it surpassed the vast majority of super first-class influences to become a top power in just a few decades. In fact, the foundation of Beidou Bang can’t even compare to those like the Danyang Sect, yet its influence completely overwhelms Danyang Sect, and it caught up in mere decades because it possesses absolute strength.
Just like in the era of global integration in my past life,
A country possessing nuclear weapons, even with weak foundation, could still become a major power. Meanwhile, major powers without nuclear weapons gradually declined.
Absolute strength need not always be used,
But it must never be absent.
Gu Zhan took the last bite of his banana, tossed the peel to the ground, and said, "Tan Lang, prepare at once. Deploy trusted disciples and establish control throughout the city. I want eyes on every street and alley."
Tan Lang raised an eyebrow and asked in surprise, "Palm Seal, you want to?"
Gu Zhan smiled slightly and said, "I think Nangong Weiyang won’t die today!"
...
The square of Qianyu Sect was very noisy.
Many Qianyu Sect disciples were accusing and insulting Nangong Weiyang, while representatives from various sects attending the event were also taking their seats one after another.
Nangong Weiyang stood on the high platform looking quite disheveled, with all her cultivation suppressed, yet she remained proudly standing, eyes full of disdain.
"Ladies and gentlemen!"
As Lian Nanfeng spoke, the noisy event site quieted down.
Lian Nanfeng, accompanied by others, walked onto the high platform. Facing the people from various sects, he cupped his hands and said, "It’s a misfortune for our sect to encounter such a catastrophe. Originally, we shouldn’t expose our family’s scandals. However, our Qianyu Sect’s Sect Leader Chen, after all, was a well-respected figure in the martial world, murdered by this scoundrel Nangong Weiyang colluding with the Demon Dao. This matter requires our Qianyu Sect to give an explanation to the martial world. And because the situation is special and our Qianyu Sect’s higher-ups couldn’t arrive in time, we’ve invited everyone here today to bear witness!"
The venue was very quiet,
The people from various sects showed different expressions.
They naturally understood that whether it was Chen Xuannong or Nangong Weiyang, it was actually Qianyu Sect’s internal affair that technically didn’t necessitate this trial assembly.
Yet, Lian Nanfeng’s words made sense,
Chen Xuannong was a generation giant, and now most of the forces of Qianyu Sect are in Great Desert City, while the rest of the main forces are far away in the sect. They indeed can’t handle Nangong Weiyang’s execution internally.
However, there was also an issue,
Why did Lian Nanfeng have to kill Nangong Weiyang now instead of taking her back to Qianyu Sect for handling, even at the cost of disgracing Qianyu Sect’s reputation?
On the high platform, Lian Nanfeng said seriously, "To inform everyone, this desperate measure is regrettable, but our Qianyu Sect’s main forces are mostly far in the sect, and Nangong Weiyang’s murder of our Sect Leader was a collusion with the Demon Dao.
Earlier today, due to the assistance of the Demon Dao, Nangong Weiyang, the traitor, nearly escaped. The Demon Dao is still menacingly preparing to rescue Nangong Weiyang. After discussion with many higher-ups, we’ve decided to execute Nangong Weiyang, the scoundrel, per our sect rules, to prevent her from being rescued by the Demon Dao and endangering the Righteous Dao martial world!"
At that moment, the people from the various sects suddenly understood,
These words explain why Lian Nanfeng urgently wants to kill Nangong Weiyang.
"Please, everyone, bear witness!"
Having said that, Lian Nanfeng turned to Nangong Weiyang, saying sternly, "Nangong Weiyang, you disregarded the principles of the martial world, colluded with the Demon Dao, betrayed your master and ancestors, murdered Sect Leader Chen, massacred your fellow disciples, and your crimes are too numerous to record. I will now execute you according to our sect’s rules to bring justice to Qianyu Sect and give an explanation to the Righteous Dao martial world!"
A cold glint flashed in Nangong Weiyang’s eyes beneath her disheveled hair, yet she remained silent.
"Kneel!" Lian Nanfeng shouted.
Nangong Weiyang stood still with her eyes closed.
Immediately, two Qianyu Sect disciples stepped forward and kicked at Nangong Weiyang’s legs.
"Crack" two sounds of bone breaking were heard.
Nangong Weiyang’s legs were directly deformed, yet she didn’t utter a single groan, her body trembling but still staying upright without kneeling.
Lian Nanfeng’s face darkened.
The two Qianyu Sect disciples immediately circulated their True Essence and kicked at Nangong Weiyang’s legs again.
"Crack"
This time, the sound was noticeably sharper.
Nangong Weiyang’s legs were completely broken. A small leg bone pierced out of the skin from her knee.
Nangong Weiyang tumbled to the ground.
Immediately, the two Qianyu Sect disciples went to lift Nangong Weiyang, preparing to make her kneel.
At that moment, a young disciple of Qianyu Sect, unable to watch any longer, loudly shouted, "Grand Elder, enough, regardless of whatever crimes Nangong Weiyang committed, she was once the pride of our Qianyu Sect. Just follow the sect rules and kill her directly, why humiliate her like this?"
This young disciple was also a well-known young talent within Qianyu Sect.
With his outcry, immediately more people stood up in agreement, and the number kept increasing, over a hundred people stood up.
Seeing this, Lian Nanfeng’s face became quite grim,
He had already cleared Nangong Weiyang’s confidants in Great Desert City at the first opportunity, but he didn’t expect Nangong Weiyang to have such a high reputation within Qianyu Sect, with people still willing to speak up for her.
