Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 225 Cruel Means
When the group arrived outside the mountain gate, Zhou Bo and others were already waiting there, saluting Jiang Feng. Since the formation here was in the hands of Zhou Bo and others, they were the first to get the news.

The formation was in an activated state at this time, and auspicious clouds covered the sky.

"Junior Song Xian greets Senior Jiang. I didn't know you would come in person. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you."

Jiang Feng glanced at him and said nothing.

"Senior Jiang, please come inside and rest." Zhou Bo had a flattering smile on his face. He didn't expect Jiang Feng to come in person. He felt happy and nervous.

If Jiang Feng could personally appoint him as the successor to the Tianshan leader, naturally no one would refuse and no one would dare to disobey. However, he did not know whether Jiang Feng had other plans.

"Follow me." Jiang Feng strode through the two groups of people and went straight forward. Song Xian and Zhou Bo's gangs followed closely behind several disciples of the Beast Taming Sect on the left and right.

Song Xian kept secretly glancing at Xu Hao, hoping to get some feedback from him, but Xu Hao just stared straight at him and ignored him, which made him more and more nervous.

A group of people entered the hall. Jiang Feng naturally sat in the main seat and asked expressionlessly, "How did Chen Yunlong die?"

Zhou Bo quickly responded, "Senior Jiang, after we broke into this place, Helian Quan fled in panic. The headmaster pursued him further into the area and was killed by Helian Quan. I was also chasing Helian Quan at the time, but unfortunately, he was riding a top-grade flying magic weapon, so I was unable to catch up. Fellow Daoists Song Xian and Lin Zixiang witnessed this and came back to inform me."

"How many people are there in Tianshan now?"

"Senior Jiang, there are currently fifty brothers stationed at our sect's mountain gate."

"Call everyone here."

Zhou Bo was a little confused. He didn't know why Jiang Feng called everyone here, but he didn't dare to disobey and immediately responded and left.

Not long after, monks from the Tianshan Sect came into the hall one after another and lined up in several rows. Everyone had different expressions. Some lowered their heads and remained silent, while others looked around furtively. However, no one dared to make a noise.

"Everyone is listening." Jiang Feng's expression was calm, and there was no fluctuation in his words, but everyone stood upright with solemn expressions, listening attentively.

"The Tianshan Sect was originally supported by Junior Brother Yang Jinzhang, who guarded this vital road for our sect to prevent unauthorized traders from entering Xijiang County. But you, the others, refused to obey the law and slaughtered each other for fame and fortune. Now that Helian Quan and Chen Yunlong are dead, I will not pursue the matter further."

"From now on, you will all defend Tianshan obediently. If anyone starts to fight for power and profit again, or engages in private disputes, affecting the stability of Tianshan or even the border towns, and delaying the affairs of this sect, I will never forgive them."

"Since there is no one in charge of the Tianshan Sect right now, I will choose someone, and you will follow his orders from now on."

When everyone heard this, they all pricked up their ears. Zhou Bo looked at Jiang Feng with anticipation, his body trembling slightly, obviously extremely excited.

Song Xian was also very nervous and his breathing was noticeably heavy.

"Song Xian, you will be in charge of Tianshan's affairs from now on."

"Yes, I obey your command." Song Xian's chest rose and fell suddenly, and he couldn't suppress the joy on his face. He took a big step forward and responded in a voice as loud as a bell.

He planned and split the Tianshan Sect, organized a coalition to attack Luofeng Valley, and attacked Tianshan with Chen Yunlong. He took huge risks and paid a lot of price for this, just waiting for this sentence.

Now that he finally heard these words, one can imagine how happy and excited he was. The main reason was that Jiang Feng showed up so suddenly without giving him any clues, which kept him on edge. He couldn't grasp what a person of this level was thinking.

Although Xu Hao had conveyed Jiang Feng's intention before, he did not get Jiang Feng's personal promise, so he was not very sure.

The people from Hunyuan Sect were also very happy, with joyful smiles on their faces.

But it was different for the people of Tianshan Sect. Most of them were shocked and looked at each other.

Even those small minions who had no chance of becoming the leader of the Tianshan Sect found it unbelievable and looked puzzled.

Why is it Song Xian?
What does it have to do with them?

No matter what, it is not the turn of an outsider to become the leader of the Tianshan Sect.

There was already a noisy whisper in the hall.

The people who felt the most uncomfortable and could not accept it at this moment were of course Zhou Bo and his group. They followed Chen Yunlong and fought for their lives to retake Tianshan, but in the end they became wives for others.

Especially Zhou Bo, he was looking forward to thinking that the position of the boss would fall into his hands. Now he can't get any benefits and can't sit on the position of leader.

How can I accept that from now on I have to obey the Hunyuan Sect, which has nothing to do with me.

"Senior." Zhou Bo's face flushed, he shouted softly and strode out.

"Please forgive my rudeness. The position of leader of our sect can be anyone, but it must not be given to an outsider."

"Fellow Daoist Song Xian is the headmaster of the Hunyuan Sect, not a member of our sect. How can he be qualified to be the leader of our sect? If so, wouldn't it mean that our sect has been swallowed up by the Hunyuan Sect?"

"The juniors cannot accept this appointment. Please revoke your order."

Zhou Bo's mood was in turmoil. In his extreme anger, he didn't care about anything else and just vented his innermost thoughts.

As soon as these words were spoken, the noisy whispers in the hall immediately quieted down, and everyone looked towards Jiang Feng.

Obviously, what Zhou Bo said was exactly what everyone wanted.

Jiang Feng still had no expression on his face. He just raised his hand slightly, and in an instant, a huge, imaginary black hand grabbed his head.

Before Zhou Bo could even react, her entire head was grasped by a giant black hand and her body was lifted up. Her facial features were distorted and the immense pain made her open her mouth and scream unconsciously, but no sound came out.

Then there was a cracking sound, and Zhou Bo's head was crushed by the giant black hand. Blood splattered all over the ground, and his headless body fell down stiffly.

"Ah!" Screams of terror rang out one after another in the hall.

All this happened in a flash. From the moment Jiang Feng looked up to the moment Zhou Bo lay dead in the hall, it was only a few breaths of time.

Before the monks Zhou Bo was on good terms with could even speak out to stop him, Zhou Bo's head had already been crushed by the giant black hand.

All the cultivators of Tianshan Sect looked at Jiang Feng in horror. Even Song Xian was shocked. They didn't expect him to be so decisive and ruthless. He executed Zhou Bo in public without saying a word, just like stepping on an ant.

As a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, Jiang Feng could easily defeat Zhou Bo, a Qi Refining cultivator. Moreover, Zhou Bo was completely unprepared, so the outcome of the battle was no surprise. Everyone was just surprised at Jiang Feng's ruthlessness in killing people at the slightest disagreement.

Zhou Bo's body fell, blood gushed out from his head and flowed in all directions.

The screams of the people in the hall had stopped. For a moment, the entire hall was silent and you could hear a pin drop.

Even the monks Zhou Bo was on good terms with held their breath and dared not utter a word as they watched this scene.

"Anyone else object?" Jiang Feng retracted his hand, and the black hand instantly dissipated. His words remained neither light nor heavy. No one dared to meet his gaze, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.

With Zhou Bo’s previous experience as a lesson, anyone who dares to step forward will seek death.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive. After a few breaths of silence, a leader of the neutral faction said tremblingly, "The younger generation will obey the arrangements of the elders. We are willing to respect Fellow Daoist Song Xian as the leader and follow his instructions."

Jiang Feng glanced at everyone, and the others echoed: "Everything is arranged by the senior."

At this point, everyone no longer cared who would be the boss; they just wanted this killer to leave quickly.

"Go ahead! Each of you do your own job." Jiang Feng waved his hand expressionlessly.

The people of the Tianshan Sect left in a hurry as if they had been pardoned, and no one was willing to stay to collect Zhou Bo's body.

Seeing this scene, Song Xian felt mixed emotions: desolation, sadness, and joy.

Zhou Bo was the leader of the Tianshan Sect after all. After Chen Yunlong's death, he became the core of Chen Yunlong's group. He seemed to get along well with them on weekdays and seemed to be quite united and harmonious. But today, when this sudden change happened, there was not even a single person who dared to stay and collect his body.

If it were me, would the disciples of Hunyuan Sect feel the same way?

Song Xian was not sure whether other than Zhirou would stand up and fight to the death.

On the other hand, he felt relieved when he saw that these people from Tianshan Sect were so ruthless and heartless.

What he was most worried about was that after he took control of the Tianshan Sect, it would cause resistance from the internal forces of the Tianshan Sect. Now it seemed that these people were not united, which was great news for him.

"Song Xian, the management of Tianshan Sect will be handed over to you from now on. If there is any mistake, I will only hold you accountable. You must guard this place honestly for our sect and cut off the trade of spiritual beasts. I will pass on other instructions to you." After the Tianshan Sect left, Jiang Feng turned his gaze to him, his expression did not fluctuate at all, and he remained cold.

"Senior, your kindness and virtue will be forever unforgettable to me and my clan. From now on, we will go through fire and water for you and devote ourselves to you to the best of our ability. I dare to ask you for one more favor." Song Xian bowed deeply and took the opportunity to make another request.

At this point, the overall situation was basically decided. He did not expect that Jiang Feng would come to Tianshan in person to support him.

This also shows that Jiang Feng actually takes this matter very seriously. If he does not take this opportunity to unify the Tianshan Sect, there may be more trouble in the future.

"What's the matter? Tell me!" Jiang Feng withdrew his gaze, looking as if he didn't care much.

In fact, he was very satisfied with Song Xian's performance. He had just taken office and had no close confidants here, and the Tianshan Sect held such an important position.

He wanted to get rid of those who were loyal to Yang Jinzhang in Tianshan, so of course he had to choose someone who was not loyal to Yang Jinzhang and had outstanding talents and abilities to take the position. He must have the ability to handle things well, otherwise chaos would arise and it would be troublesome.

The Hunyuan Sect was not as strong as the Tianshan Sect, but Song Xian was able to take advantage of the internal conflicts within the Tianshan Sect, carefully planned, and used the opponent's strength to defeat the opponent. The entire plan was linked together and executed flawlessly, causing the Tianshan Sect to split and divide within just one month.

Not only that, the Hunyuan Sect also successfully entered the Tianshan Sect and controlled the entire situation.

Such experience and ruthlessness made him think highly of Song Xian, and this planned action also won his inner approval.

He felt that Song Xian was a capable and talented person, so he came to Tianshan in person to help Hunyuan Sect clear this last obstacle, which could be considered as a favor.

The Tianshan Sect was internally divided and killing each other, so he let the Hunyuan Sect replace the Tianshan Sect in order to calm the situation and the fighting.

In this way, Yang Jinzhang would not be able to criticize him in the sect.

"Right now, Luofeng Valley in Bianxia Town is still occupied by a group of Tianshan Sect cultivators. They are Helian Quan's subordinates and will definitely not submit to me. Only if you step in can we intimidate them."

"Leave this matter to Hao'er! He will stay here for a while to help you stabilize the situation."

"Thank you, senior." Song Xian was overjoyed. As Xu Hao was Jiang Feng's disciple, no one dared to act rashly if he stayed here. He could help the sect get through the initial chaos very smoothly.

Of course, he also knew that Jiang Feng sent him here not only to help Hunyuan Sect, but mainly to understand the situation of Tianshan Sect, to conduct on-site inspections of the resources and territories under its name, and to verify the annual income so as to have a clear idea and avoid being deceived.

…………

At night, the moon was bright and the wind was clear. In the spacious and bright hall of the Alliance Headquarters in Bianxia Town, Zhong Wenyuan faced the angry questioning of the head of Tianyu Trading Company. He had to repeat his words to Ding Wenxiang and others in a polite manner.

These days, as the news spread that Hunyuan Sect helped Chen Yunlong to attack Tianshan, various forces in the alliance came to question it.

Zhong Wenyuan patiently comforted the visitor and finally sent him to Tianyu Trading Company. After returning to the room, he saw a disciple already waiting for him.

Seeing him, Zhong Wenyuan's eyes lit up and he quickly closed the door: "What's the situation at Tianshan now? What does the Sect Leader have to say?"

"Today, Senior Jiang Feng personally arrived at Tianshan and, in front of everyone, designated the Sect Master to be in charge of Tianshan Sect affairs from now on. The Sect Master sent me here not only to share this news, but also to give me another instruction. The Sect Master ordered that the disciples remaining at Solitary Peak be relocated to Tianshan. The current situation is still unstable, and more manpower is needed to prevent any unrest. The Sect Master has indicated that a maximum of ten people should remain at Solitary Peak."

"Great." Zhong Wenyuan's expectant expression turned into joy. "Tell the Master, I'll make arrangements immediately."

"Master, I want to know what's going on within the alliance? Are those people causing any trouble? What do they have to say?"

Zhong Wenyuan then told the disciple the truth about what had happened in the past few days. The two talked for a long time before the disciple said goodbye and left.

In Luofeng Valley, in a dimly lit room, several leaders gathered together, discussing whether to retake Tianshan.

Some people suggested that we should send troops immediately while the Tianshan Mountains are in chaos.

Some people are cautious, thinking that since Chen Yunlong now has the help of Hunyuan Sect, he should not act rashly. He should first occupy Luofeng Valley and then act according to the situation.

While the two sides were arguing, hurried footsteps were heard outside and a man strode in.

"Reporting to the Second Commander, the new leader of the Beast Taming Sect, Jiang Feng's disciple Xu Hao, has arrived. He is outside the formation and wants to see the Second Commander."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

No one could have imagined that at this time, the disciple of the Beast Taming Sect stationed in the western city would come in person.

Obviously, this was aimed at the recent internal strife in the Tianshan Sect, and was probably carried out under Jiang Feng's orders.

Everyone did not dare to delay and stood up, left the room and went outside the formation.

"Dear Daoist Fellow Xu, we are sorry for not welcoming you in person. We hope you will forgive us." The second in command of the Tianshan Sect, Mo Dezhenhan, greeted him warmly, but when he saw the two people behind him, he was stunned.

This is because the two people standing behind him are Huang He, the third in command of the Tianshan Sect, and Lin Zixiang, the elder of the Hunyuan Sect.
