The Supreme Grandmasters of the Yin Kui Sect are still around, and now Kou Baimen is leveraging your Marquis’s reputation to directly take over the mountain gate of the Moon Worship Sect. However, Sword King City is different.
These people are waiting for Sword King City to fight desperately and for its upper echelons to show themselves. When that happens, even if they can’t fight you for things at Sword King City’s mountain gate, they can hunt down other disciples of Sword King City throughout the martial world."
With that said, Gai Qingcheng slightly frowned and said, "However, Sword King City’s reaction is a bit odd."
"What do you mean?" Gu Zhan asked.
Gai Qingcheng slowly said, "Normally, during this time, the people from Sword King City should be scattering with their inheritance resources. But according to the information received during this period, only some ordinary disciples and some insignificant high-level members have left Sword King City, while those truly holding Sword King City’s core inheritance haven’t shown up at all."
Gu Zhan chuckled lightly and said, "Maybe they’re waiting to have a final showdown with me."
Gai Qingcheng frowned again, saying, "That’s probably unlikely..."
Just then,
Outside the carriage, the sound of hoofbeats came, and a guard reported, "Marquis, Acting Sect Leader of Sword King City, Wei Zi’ang, along with several high-level members of Sword King City, have blocked the path at the foot of Sword King Mountain!"
Gu Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly, got off the carriage and slowly rode a horse to the front of the formation.
At this time, the Beidou Bang’s formation had reached the foot of Sword King Mountain, and now, around Sword King City, many martial world people had shown up to watch, some hiding discreetly.
However, most people were surprised, puzzled by Wei Zi’ang’s actions.
Gu Zhan was also a bit puzzled,
He had met Wei Zi’ang before in Great Desert City, but his impression of Wei Zi’ang was not good, as he was a very envious person.
At this time,
In front of the mountain gate, Wei Zi’ang, in a Daoist robe, held a long sword, exhibiting a graceful demeanor befitting the name Jade-faced Zhenren.
Seeing Gu Zhan appear on horseback,
Wei Zi’ang revealed a faint smile, bowed and greeted, "Wei Zi’ang, Acting Sect Leader of Sword King City, pays respect to Marquis Gu!"
Gu Zhan looked down at Wei Zi’ang from horseback, feeling somewhat surprised.
Nearly a year passed,
Seeing Wei Zi’ang again today gave Gu Zhan a completely different impression.
In Great Desert City, Wei Zi’ang seemed narrow-minded, arrogant.
Now, Wei Zi’ang appeared more composed, laid-back, resembling the image of a high Daoist master.
"Wei Zi’ang, long time no see!" Gu Zhan slowly spoke.
Wei Zi’ang bowed and said, "Thanks to Marquis for remembering me."
"Go ahead," Gu Zhan waved his hand directly, "What do you intend to do?"
Wei Zi’ang bowed again and said, "I, along with everyone from Sword King City, am here to welcome Marquis in taking over Sword King Mountain, specially coming to inform Marquis that everything in Sword King City remains unharmed, all inheritances and resources are preserved intact, Marquis can ascend the mountain to take them away, Sword King City disciples will not obstruct, including the Grotto Heaven Technique and Sect Leader Wei Wuya’s cultivation method, are all documented and stored properly, apart from us here, no one has touched them."
Gu Zhan chuckled lightly, saying, "Your actions do surprise me, I’m quite curious, what do you all intend to do now?"
Wei Zi’ang took a deep breath, smiled helplessly, and said, "Just want to conclude this martial world catastrophe!"
After he finished speaking,
Wei Zi’ang drew his sword and said aloud, "May the heavens be vast, my Dao will flourish, wishing for the righteous path to endure and martial fortune to prosper!"
In an instant, the people of Sword King City all drew their swords.
"May the righteous path endure, martial fortune prosper!"
"May the righteous path endure, martial fortune prosper!"
"May the righteous path endure, martial fortune prosper!"
A resounding and overwhelming voice echoed through the air, mighty and powerful.
The next moment,
All the high-level members of Sword King City swiftly swung their swords to commit suicide,
Blood flowers sprayed under the sunlight, like blooming red flowers.
"Clang" "Clang" "Clang..."
With each corpse falling, the swords marked with Sword King City’s emblem dropped to the ground, stained with blood, appearing desolate.
Wei Zi’ang rested his sword on his shoulder, sighed deeply, and gazing at Gu Zhan said, "Gu Zhan, being born in the same era as you is the world’s greatest sorrow,
As heaven and earth unfold, the Great Dao is unfair,
How exceptionally favorable to you, Gu Zhan,
How negligent to the world’s martial artists!"
With a long sigh,
Wei Zi’ang swung his sword to commit suicide, his Daoist robe stained with blood, his body falling in defeat.
At that moment,
The fields fell silent, members of the Beidou Bang stood in silence,
Those with intention also remained silent,
Wei Zi’ang led the core high-level members of Sword King City in this mass suicide to demonstrate to the world that all Sword King City’s inheritances and resources were left on Sword King Mountain; no one could obtain them unless taking them from Gu Zhan, as the ordinary disciples did not possess them.
Gu Zhan squinted his eyes slightly at the mass of corpses.
Of course, he understood Wei Zi’ang’s intentions; using the deaths of their core group to bring closure to this martial world turmoil, securing a path for survival for the ordinary disciples.
An innocent person is not guilty, but having a treasure is a crime,
Now, all Sword King City’s inheritances, such as the Grotto Heaven Technique, Divine Power Secret Manual, Divine Weapon, and so forth, are left intact on Sword King Mountain, meaning they are now with Gu Zhan, no one would trouble ordinary Sword King City disciples.
As for those still coveting Sword King City’s ordinary martial arts secret manuals among the martial world people, they’re mostly from small sects, unlikely to match Sword King City’s disciples in capability. The camel, though scrawny, is bigger than a horse. Even Sword King City at the end of the road, their concerns wouldn’t be those small sects.
