After Lu Chen said goodbye to these Sword Sect disciples, he took advantage of the early time and went directly to Lanling County, found an inn to stay, and began to secretly collect information about the Seven Kills in Suiyang.
After asking around a lot throughout the night, he gained a lot.
Tianque Palace, a first-rate power affiliated to Suiyang in Xuzhou, controls over ten million civilians in four major counties including Pengcheng County, Lu County, Sishui County, and Langya County.
The previous headquarters was located in Suiyang, but later it was moved to the central island of Chongyang Lake, known as the land of plenty, and five halls were established.
They are Jinsha Hall, Baicao Hall, Lihuo Hall, Genshui Hall, and Dize Hall.
Each hall leader is an innately powerful person and manages thousands or even tens of thousands of sect disciples.
The former palace master Meng Haishan was a peak innate golden elixir expert. Unfortunately, he was assassinated by a mysterious killer. It was rumored that the murder was committed by the strongest killer organization "Seven Kills". As of today, half a month has passed and the real murderer has still not been found.
.
After Meng Haichuan's death, his only son Meng Luochuan took over the position of palace master. However, he did not expect that there would be opposition among the sect's forces, and some people even took the lead in gathering people to make trouble. As a result, Tianque Palace has been leaderless and scattered.
The most dissatisfied among them was his uncle Meng Haijiao, who was preparing to coerce the emperor to order the princes. It was said that he had already subdued three of the major halls to his side, and was bound to unseat his nephew and let him take the throne.
The two sides refused to give in to each other and fought for each other, resulting in numerous casualties. The conflict intensified, making the local people fearful and uneasy, and a bloody storm was likely to come.
Successive palace lords of Tianque Palace were all descendants of the Meng family. Before taking over, one needs to bring the palace lord's token to the ancestral temple on the island in the center of Chongyang Lake. Only after being approved by the clan elders can the succession ceremony be held.
But now, Meng Luochuan and Meng Jiaohai are both frantically competing for this palace master's token, causing a huge shock in the Xuzhou area. According to the current situation, a fight between the two sides is inevitable.
In addition, many top forces are also secretly sending people to peek in secretly. Taking advantage of the conflict between the river and the clam, a fisherman can benefit.
"It turned out to be a family feud. I didn't expect that the death of the master of Tianque Palace would cause such a big trouble. The matter is more complicated than imagined!" Lu Chen stood in front of the guest room window, looking up at the clear starry sky above his head, thinking to himself.
"Every bustle in the world comes for profit, and all hustle and bustle leaves for profit!"
"The world is so hot and cold, and people's hearts are so careless. How many people in this world can see through this worldly grudges?"
One night passed and the sun rose in the east!
Lu Chen bought a fast horse and went straight to Suiyang, Langya County.
Along the way, there were displaced and poorly clothed refugees everywhere. They all fled very hastily and looked frightened. Some of them were injured.
The land is filled with grief and devastation.
Lu Chen stopped halfway, stopped a man who was slowly escaping, and asked: "Brother, what is happening ahead!"
The man, along with his wife, children, and children, looked at Lu Chen in surprise: "There are people fighting in front of me. Brother, I advise you to get out of here quickly, something serious is going to happen!"
"Who is fighting?"
The man looked embarrassed and sighed: "Who else, except the people from Tianque Palace, would dare to cause trouble in Langya County!"
"Is Suiyang City ahead?" Lu Chen asked.
The man nodded: "Yes, many people have died in the city, and all of us have escaped!"
"Who is the city lord?" Lu Chen asked.
The man thought for a while, clenched his fists and said, "Ma Yixiao, the situation is not optimistic!"
"Thank you!" Lu Chen clasped his fists and smiled, then threw a piece of broken silver to the other party, rode his horse and whipped his horse, and drove away.
The man looked at the pieces of silver in his hand and was immediately overjoyed. He was grateful and continued to escape southward with his whole family.
"Ma Yixiao, the master of Baicao Hall, belongs to Meng Luochuan's family. Find him first!" Lu Chen thought to himself as he galloped on his horse.
About half an hour later, we arrived at Suiyang City. We saw corpses everywhere at the entrance of the city gate, with blood flowing all over them. There were constant sounds of fighting in the city.
Most of the corpses lying on the ground were civilians, with many sect disciples among them. Their deaths were miserable and desolate.
"It's too chaotic. There are beacons everywhere and the flames of war are everywhere. The injured are the common people after all!" Lu Chen got off his horse and walked in slowly alone.
As soon as they entered the city, they saw two groups of people fighting madly, with the flash of swords and the sound of killing shouts, and the rich smell of blood filled the entire street.
A series of buildings such as shops and wine shops were completely destroyed, and civilians were either killed or fled in all directions. The entire city was enveloped in a crazy atmosphere of killing.
Just like a city trampled by war, it is riddled with holes.
The two groups of people are clearly distinguishable. One side wears brown short sleeves and a white scarf on the forehead, dressed like a farmer's disciple.
On the other side were people wearing khaki gowns and holding silver swords. There were about hundreds of people and horses, and they had an absolute advantage. They frantically drove the disciples in brown clothes inside, and people kept falling down and screaming in agony along the way.
One of the young men in light blue attire shouted: "Catch the horse alive and roar, you will be rewarded!" Then he led many sect disciples to attack the city lord's mansion and blocked all the elite disciples of Baicao Hall inside.
In the city lord's mansion, the two parties were confronting each other, their swords were at war, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
"Wu Qingbai, you are so brave. You dare to lead people to attack your brothers and sisters, kill each other, and intend to rebel. The palace master knows that he will not spare you!" In the city lord's mansion, a middle-aged man in brown uniform was filled with thunder and lightning.
Holding a blue-patterned sword, he led a group of Baicao Hall disciples to hold it against him.
Wu Qingbai is about thirty years old, holding an aqua-colored sword, dressed plainly, with a cold face. Next to him stands a sturdy middle-aged man with a flat chest showing a patch of black hair and long cheeks, holding a sword.
Bagua Xuanhua Ax.
"Who is Meng Luochuan? He is a yellow-haired kid with no talents and abilities. What qualifications does he have to be the palace master!" Wu Qingbai sneered.
Ma Yixiao said with a gloomy face: "Shut up, what on earth do you want to do?"
"If you don't want to do anything, I just want to ask you if you want to submit to my master! Otherwise, you will definitely die today." Wu Qingbai said with cold eyes.
Ma Yixiao spit out a mouthful of phlegm and said disdainfully: "Damn it, the palace master's body is still cold, and Meng Haijiao has evil intentions, coveting the palace master's position, and is not willing to kill each other. I'm afraid he has a premeditated plan! Such a villain is really disgusting.
If the palace owner has a spirit underground, he will definitely crush his bones into ashes as he deceives his master and destroys his ancestors."
Wu Qingbai sneered and said: "The position of palace master is occupied by those who are capable. Meng Luochuan is just relying on his father's cuteness to enjoy his success. He is not worthy of our service!"
"Then Meng Haijiao is so virtuous and worthy of your support. Don't let others take advantage of you!" Ma Yixiao said in a low voice.
The strong man next to him said impatiently: "Qingbai, stop talking nonsense. This kind of person is obsessed with killing and kills directly. If he fights quickly, he will change later!"
"Master Tie is right, I have this intention!" Wu Qingbai was stunned for a moment, then said with a sneer in his eyes.
The horse roared angrily: "Tie Qiao Temple, how dare you!"
"Do you think I dare?" The strong man named Tie Qiaosi glared, and a phantom flashed across his body. He quickly rushed towards Ma Yixiao, waved his Bagua Xuanhua ax and struck hard in the air, like a god opening the sky.
Ma Yixiao's expression changed dramatically, and he struck with his sword.
With a clang, the two weapons collided violently, and energy spurted out, as if a strong wind swept across the entire courtyard, and those sect disciples standing close were blown away.
Tie Qiaosi and Ma Yixiao were in a head-to-head confrontation, and they were in a stalemate. No one was afraid of the other.
"Ma Yixiao, if you don't know what to do, die!" A sharp shout rang out. Suddenly, Wu Qingbai erratically walked around Tie Qiao Temple's figure and stabbed at high speed from the side. The sharp green sword light lit up, seeming to chop Ma Yixiao on the spot.
into two halves.
Tie Qiaosi and Ma Yixiao are both at the innate real elixir realm, and their strength is about the same. Wu Qingbai's strength is slightly weaker, and his strength is at the innate virtual elixir realm.
When it comes to fighting alone, Ma Yixiao is evenly matched against Tie Qiaosi.
But things were different when Wu Qingbai joined the battle. Ma Yixiao simply didn't have the strength to fight against two great talents at the same time.
Seeing the opponent's sharp sword coming, Ma Yixiao suddenly shook the Tie Qiao Temple open. His figure twisted strangely and narrowly avoided Wu Qingbai's killing sword.
He turned around and kicked the opponent in the chest, sending the opponent flying backwards. He dodged like a ghost and charged towards the strong man Tie Qiaosi with his sword.
Ma Yixiao's idea was very simple. The two innate experts blocked him and obviously didn't want him to leave. In this case, they would fight tooth and nail.
There may still be a glimmer of hope for the Jedi's counterattack, but if they catch it, they won't even have a chance.
Tie Qiaosi roared: "Well done, I've always heard of the reputation of Ben Lei Dao, but I haven't had time to meet you. Today, I want you to know how powerful my mountain ax is!"
The two sides did not dodge or evade, collided head-on, and pounced on their opponents at the same time.
Tie Qiaosi held the long ax in both hands and swung it violently. The ax head was filled with red flames and drew an arc in the air. He leaped into the air and used the force of his fall to strike at the opponent fiercely, as if he was the god who created the world.
"You can't take this move forcefully, you have to avoid it!" Ma Yixiao felt that the opponent's ax was too terrifying. He gritted his teeth and struck the opponent's ax head with three swords in an instant. While affecting the opponent's momentum, he used his own strength to dodge sideways.
Tie Qiaosi's wrist trembled, and he was about to prepare for the second consecutive blow with the axe. Unexpectedly, the horse roared and flashed, and it circled behind him like a ghost, leaped into the air, and swung his sword to strike hard with a swift blow.
Brushing, a dazzling sword light seemed to cut the world apart.
"What a fool!" Tie Qiaosi looked furious, turned around and swung his ax quickly.
Clang, sparks flew everywhere, and a harsh collision sound made people's hearts beat.
The swift sword struck down on the axe, and the surging force struck Tie Qiaosi's body through the axe's face like lightning, knocking him back several steps.
Ma Yixiao took advantage of the victory and pursued the enemy. He twisted and dodged, and swung his sword to slash at the enemy.
Cang! Cang! Cang!.. For a moment, the light of the sword swept through Tie Qiao Temple like a violent storm, constantly slashing him backwards.
The ax used by Tie Qiao Temple was a heavy weapon, and he used ax techniques such as wide opening and closing. In terms of flexibility, he was definitely not as flexible as Ma Yixiao who used the sword, so he was at a disadvantage for a while.
