Chapter 146 Attack on the View of the Sea of ??Clouds
Chen Zhouping's death was somewhat unjust. He was also a Qi Refiner in the Seventh Realm. Logically speaking, it was impossible for Gu Cheng to have his head removed so easily by being carried by five ghosts.
But he was completely unprepared for Gu Cheng's sword, and subconsciously used all his strength to resist Gu Cheng's sword. He never expected that the Five Ghost Movement was Gu Cheng's killer move.
Not to mention that Chen Zhouping didn't react, so many people in the lobby didn't react either.
The matter was discussed, and it turned out that you, Gu Cheng, killed someone without even saying a word. What kind of thing is this?
Although these martial arts forces in Nanyi County are scattered, their gathering together at this time represents the entire martial arts community in Nanyi County.
Just now, Chen Zhouping said that the tiger has left and the wolf has come. Now, looking at it, this Gu Cheng is even more evil than the wolf!
But before everyone started to denounce Gu Cheng, Gu Cheng held the head and said coldly: "I didn't kill Chen Zhouping because of this incident.
But he, Yunhaiguan, colluded with the ghosts in the hundreds of thousands of mountains in the Southern Barbarians and built temples and statues for the ghosts, causing the ghosts to grow in size and harm living creatures!
Although Yunhai Temple did not directly kill anyone, the entire Cangzhou Prefecture suffered a ghost disaster and countless people were killed and injured. Half of the cause and effect must be attributed to Yunhai Temple!
Taxation matters are small matters, so let’s not talk about them today. After one month, those who are willing to pay the taxes will pay them, and those who are not willing will discuss it later.
Today’s discussion ends here, I, Jingyesi, will immediately encircle Yunhaiguan and eradicate this scum sect that colludes with demons and ghosts!”
With that said, Gu Cheng waved his hand to signal everyone to see off the guests.
However, everyone present was very nervous when they left. Although Gu Cheng kept saying that he surrounded and suppressed Yunhaiguan because the other party colluded with demons and ghosts, who knew about this matter? In their eyes, Gu Cheng was retaliating and was ruthless.
Incomparable.
If they don't pay taxes in a month, will Gu Cheng also find an excuse to kill them?
The sect, which was already a little excited, has decided to pay the taxes on time in one month.
Some sects that had been hesitant before were hesitant at this time, wanting to see the attitude of the Siji Sect and the Wang family, but those two families had already left.
They had all agreed to Gu Cheng to remain silent during this discussion, and of course they would not express any opinions casually at this time.
And now it seems that Gu Cheng's matter is probably done.
Gu Cheng wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys but couldn't find the target, but Yunhaiguan took the initiative to commit suicide to give Gu Cheng a reason, so he couldn't blame others.
After the others left, Gu Cheng directly called Chen Danggui and Kou Andu, asking them to gather their manpower and go to Zhuzhou Mansion, where Yunhai Temple is located, to prepare to annihilate Yunhai Temple.
Chen Danggui and others were guarding the door of the lobby before, and of course they heard the movement.
Seeing Gu Chengzhen preparing to take action, Chen Danggui asked in surprise: "Sir, do you really want to move Yunhai Temple?"
He used to think that Gu Cheng was just killing Chen Zhouping to scare the monkeys, but now it seems that Gu Cheng was not only killing the chickens to scare the monkeys, but also wanted to destroy the chicken coop.
"Otherwise? Do you think I'm joking?"
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows and said: "Since we are taking action, we will simply finish the matter.
These martial arts forces in Nanyi County actually have an attitude of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Previously, the imperial power in Nanyi County was not strong and they did not care much about them, so naturally they would not take the imperial court seriously.
Fang Zhenhai was a rebel, domineering and powerful, but they did not dare to offend him, even those at the level of the Siji Sect and the Wang family.
It is impossible to make them respect us based on our strength, so we can only make them afraid. Only when we know they are afraid will we have respect.
Moreover, I have killed more than one person from Yunhaiguan. Killing one person is also killing, and killing a group is also killing. If I keep this group of Taoist priests, do I want to raise another ghost governor?"
If Chen Zhouping hadn't jumped out today, Gu Cheng would have actually forgotten about the Sea of Clouds View.
But now that he remembered it today, there must be a result to this matter.
He killed two groups of people from Yunhaiguan in a row. The other party must have hated him so much that they might jump out and cause trouble for him at some point.
Gu Cheng hates troubles, so solving them before they arise is the most labor-saving way.
Moreover, Yunhai Temple itself carries original sin.
The sect was built by colluding with the fierce ghosts like the ghost governor. Although they may not have killed anyone themselves, half of the lives lost in the ghost disaster would be counted on them.
Although Gu Cheng has been a rebel for a period of time, his current identity is relatively complicated, but after all, his original identity was Jingyesi's Xuanjia Guard, and he still has some sense of belonging to Jingyesi's mission.
Seeing that Gu Cheng had already made a decision, Chen Danggui said nothing more and went directly to prepare.
Although he could see the twists and turns, he was too lazy to think about it so much. Killing someone was the easiest thing to do.
Gu Cheng said that he wanted to move Yunhai Temple in front of many sects. The news had already spread, and Yunhai Temple naturally also knew the news.
The master of Yunhai Temple is a Taoist in his late fifties with a kind face and kind eyes named Zhou Yunhai.
No one could have imagined that this Taoist priest, who looked like a master of Taoism with a kind face and kind eyes, would actually cooperate with and drive a powerful ghost like the Ghost Governor.
In fact, a few decades ago, Yunhai Temple was just a small Taoist temple that couldn't be smaller, even between practitioners and ordinary people.
The cultivation of orthodox Qi Refiners consumes an unusually large amount of resources, and the talents of the disciples in such a small Taoist temple are not very good. Those who can break through the eighth level of Qi Refining through normal cultivation are very rare.
Seeking the skin of a tiger is dangerous, and seeking a future with a ghost can lead to an abyss if you are not careful.
Zhou Yunhai admitted that he was gambling, but fortunately he was right. In a few decades, he relied on the power of the ghost governor to develop Yunhaiguan into a first-rate force in every state.
He knew everything about Gu Cheng before. Although he also hated Gu Cheng for killing the ghost governor and ruining his future, he was the Eight Great Vajras under Fang Zhenhai at that time and he couldn't afford to offend him.
And now Gu Cheng has become the commander-in-chief of Guangling City under Jingyesi, and his status is something he cannot afford to offend either.
Therefore, Zhou Yunhai specially ordered his subordinates not to provoke Gu Cheng for the time being.
In the end, Chen Zhouping was nice and promised well, but he secretly did something bad and provoked Gu Cheng.
"Chen Zhouping mistaken me!"
Zhou Yunhai sighed, with a look of helplessness on his face.
The surrounding disciples also looked panicked. They, Yunhai Temple, had never encountered such a thing before.
In the past, they, Yunhai Temple, had been very well-off with the large amount of resources brought from the exchange with the Ghost Governor, and they didn't even have to fight with other sects.
As a result, now we have to face the battle of annihilation. This pressure is not ordinary.
"Then Gu Cheng hasn't called yet, why are you panicking!?"
Zhou Yunhai scolded and said: "Come here, prepare a lot of money to send to several sects and families around Yunhai Temple, and ask them to come and help make peace.
Then find someone to spread the news everywhere, saying that Gu Cheng is narrow-minded. It is because I, Yunhaiguan, said a word for the justice of the entire Nanyi County Jianghu and suffered retaliation from the other party. I, Yunhaiguan, are as if destroyed, my lips are dead and my teeth are cold.
It’s not easy to join other sects!
Finally, prepare a big gift and give it to Gu Cheng when he comes."
Many disciples understood the first two, and they were just using the momentum of the entire Nanyi County martial arts community to make Gu Cheng dare not take action.
But what does this last one mean?
"Master Guan, then Gu Cheng is going to knock on our door to destroy Yunhai Guan. Do we have to prepare a big gift for him?"
Zhou Yunhai snorted coldly: "Gu Cheng led the army here with the intention of using Yunhai Temple to scare the monkeys.
We are not his opponent this time, so we can only bow our heads temporarily and give him a step down. Otherwise, do you think he will go back so easily after working hard?
But I have to spit it out sooner or later if you eat it!
Waiting for the opportunity in the future, I will make Gu Cheng spit it out ten times and a hundred times!"
He, Zhou Yunhai, had been in the martial arts world of Nanyi County for half his life, and he still had connections, but he just couldn't find anyone to help him in a hurry.
If given the chance, how could he be so aggrieved?
………………
This was the second time that Zhuzhou Prefecture Gu Cheng came. Last time he came and killed the prefect of Zhuzhou Prefecture, but later I heard that someone had replaced him as the prefect the next day, and nothing changed.
There are many things that are lacking in the cadre, but this official is the only one who is not lacking. He even has to thank Gu Cheng. If Gu Cheng hadn't killed his boss, how would he have the chance to rise to the top?
Yunhai Temple is not in the state capital, but on a hill outside the state capital. Incense is still very prosperous, but at this time, Yunhai Temple looks like it is facing a formidable enemy. The mountain gate has long been closed.
Zhou Yunhai and others were waiting at the door.
When they saw the large group of people coming from a distance, everyone's nerves suddenly became tense.
When Gu Cheng saw that the people at Yunhai Temple were all waiting for him, he couldn't help but smile and said: "There are more and more strange things in this world. Knowing that I am coming to exterminate the family, you have already counted the number of people by yourselves.
Are you ready to line up and report to the underworld?"
Zhou Yunhai's face looked a little ugly, but he still squeezed out a smile and said: "Master Gu is joking.
What happened to Chen Zhouping before was just his fault and had nothing to do with our Yunhai Temple. If I had known that he suddenly went crazy and disobeyed your lord, I would not have let him come.
I have now completely removed Chen Zhouping, and I have also prepared an apology gift for Mr. Gu, and I ask Mr. Gu for your forgiveness."
As he said that, Zhou Yunhai waved his hand, and immediately disciples came out carrying boxes of things.
When he opened it, he found that there were boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, cultivation materials, elixirs, and other items, all of which were valuable.
Gu Cheng let out a long sigh, shook his head slightly and said, "Who told you that I came here because of Chen Zhouping?
You can use the things you got from trading with ghosts with peace of mind, so you won't be afraid of retribution one day?
