Swords emerge from Mount Hua, sweeping across the heavens from the world of Swordsman.

Using the official position of the eunuch of the Eastern Depot, King Zhuanlun established the Black Stone organization in the martial arts world, and his actions were even more outrageous than those of the Eastern Depot.

There's a saying circulating in the martial arts world: Black Stone, the cornerstone of the imperial court.

While this statement is an exaggeration, it does have some truth to it.

This is also the source of his confidence to still provoke others even though he knew he was no match for Yue Zhuoqun.

If it were anyone else, they would have been intimidated by him, but Yue Zhuoqun was not fooled by that.

The Huashan Sect has now established its foundation, and its own strength is formidable enough to give it the confidence to confront the Eastern Depot.

"Threatening me? Here's another way for you to die!"

Chi!

The Gentleman's Sword slashed horizontally, and before King Yama could even react, his head was severed and rolled to Yu Canghai's feet.

"Now it's your turn!"

Yu Canghai trembled, quickly pulled down the black cloth covering his face, and knelt on the ground with a thud, wailing:

"Senior Brother Yue, spare my life! I know I was wrong!"

Chapter 29 Surrender

Yu Canghai was struck by the Xuanming Divine Palm, and his whole body was trembling. Coupled with his fear of Yue Zhuoqun, he knelt on the ground, trembling.

Anyone who sees him like this would find it hard to associate him with the imposing leader of the Qingcheng Sect.

But life and death are paramount, and with the example of King Yama's fate right before his eyes, he dared not put on airs with Yue Zhuoqun at all.

Even though the Huashan disciples and underworld heroes were watching from outside, he still resolutely knelt down and begged for mercy.

Seeing his humble and submissive demeanor, Yue Zhuoqun paused, then asked coldly, "What good would it do me to spare you?"

"Senior Brother Yue, our two sects are both righteous and are inherently connected."

"If you spare my life, from this day forward, my Qingcheng clan will follow the lead of Mount Hua. Brother Yue, whatever your command, I will go through fire and water."

"To be honest, I don't think much of your Qingcheng Sect's strength at all." Yue Zhuoqun curled his lip, making no attempt to hide his contempt.

Huashan's strength declined after the sword qi conflict. Under Yue Fei's leadership, it developed for ten years and was able to surpass Qingcheng Sect. Moreover, this world was developed under his leadership for ten years.

Yu Canghai's heart sank. He was overwhelmed with indescribable frustration, anger, and fear, and his blood ran cold.

But Yue Zhuoqun changed the subject and continued, "If you want to live, you can submit to Huashan and hand over a copy of the Qingcheng Sect's martial arts techniques to me."

The Qingcheng School's profound martial arts mainly consist of four parts.

The internal energy cultivation method is Crane Standing in the Nine Heavens Divine Skill, and the ultimate techniques are Pine Breeze Sword Technique, Heart-Shattering Palm, and Nine Strikes of the Green Character and Eighteen Breaks of the City Character.

While the Crane Standing in the Nine Heavens Divine Skill is not as powerful as the Purple Cloud Divine Skill or the Primordial Chaos Skill, it is by no means inferior to the Complete Perfection Great Dao Song.

After all, the Qingcheng Sect was founded a long time ago, existing since the Tianlong era, hundreds of years earlier than the Huashan Sect.

How could its internal energy cultivation method not have something unique about it to have endured for so long?

The Pine Breeze Sword Technique is not bad either, on par with the incomplete version of the Huashan Sword Technique.

Needless to say, the Heart-Shattering Palm is a skill that Huang Chang included in the lower volume of the Nine Yin Manual.

Yu Canghai's palm strike was easily defeated by the Xuanming Divine Palm. It wasn't that his palm technique was weak, but rather that his internal strength was far inferior to Yue Zhuoqun's.

As for the "Nine Strikes of Qing" and "Eighteen Breaks of Cheng," it is a set of superb hidden weapon techniques that were already very famous in the martial arts world during the Tianlong era.

Unfortunately, due to the passage of time, most of the techniques in this skill have been lost.

Yue Zhuoqun's opening statement included the most powerful martial arts of the Qingcheng Sect, something that would likely be unacceptable to anyone with a moral compass.

Yu Canghai was also furious, but after hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and nodded in submission.

"Okay, I'm willing to pay."

"I only hope that after Senior Brother Yue obtains these martial arts techniques, he won't spread them carelessly, after all, they are the foundation of my Qingcheng Sect."

"You can rest assured about that. There are countless martial arts masters in Huashan. Even the martial arts of Qingcheng Sect might not be worth considering by Huashan disciples."

Yue Zhuoqun was not being hypocritical at all when he said this; he genuinely looked down on the other three types of Heart-Shattering Palm.

The reason for asking Yu Canghai to hand it over, besides observing his attitude, was mainly to exchange it for martial coins from the system.

"Master Zhang, please have your servants prepare some paper and ink for Sect Leader Yu."

Having survived the ordeal, Zhang Haiduan now regards Yue Zhuoqun as his savior and is extremely grateful.

Upon hearing his words, he immediately gestured to the butler, Liang Fu.

Soon, the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone were arranged. Yu Canghai picked up the wolf-hair brush with trembling hands, but before he could finish writing a single word, the paper turned into a large blot of ink.

Tormented by the chilling power of the Xuanming Divine Palm, he could barely hold a pen and could only look at Yue Zhuoqun with pleading eyes.

"Senior Brother Yue, this..."

Yue Zhuoqun walked behind him and pressed his palm against his back, instantly dissipating the Xuanming Palm Force into nothingness.

However, as he withdrew his palm, he subtly tapped his fingertip and transferred a hidden power into his body.

Yu Canghai was in the moment when his pain was relieved and was completely unaware of Yue Zhuoqun's little tricks.

Yue Zhuoqun curled his lips into a smile, then ignored him and strode out of the hall, looking at the people fighting in the courtyard.

Lei Bin was entangled by Xia Xueyi, unable to use his hidden weapon techniques, and was covered in more than ten wounds, putting him in grave danger.

Lian Sheng was in an even worse state, his entire body charred black.

He used his twin swords to perform a fire magic trick, but Linghu Chong countered all of his fire swords with a flower-shifting technique, burning them horribly.

As soon as Yue Zhuoqun came out, the two panicked even more, and their moves became chaotic.

"puff!"

Lin Bin's chest was pierced, and he collapsed helplessly to the ground.

Lian Sheng tried to escape using the Immortal Rope technique, but Linghu Chong cut the rope with a single sword stroke, causing him to fall from the sky.

Only the drizzle continued its fierce battle with Yang Lin, showing no sign of gaining the upper hand.

Yue Zhuoqun frowned and pondered for a moment before deciding not to kill the three of them.

The Wheel King is dead, so it wouldn't be bad to take these three under my command.

Chi chi chi~

With a flick of his fingers, he sent three life-and-death talismans into the bodies of the three individuals.

"Ah~"

The injured Lei Bin and Lian Sheng were unable to resist the torture. They frantically scratched their bodies, tearing their wounds even wider, leaving them covered in blood.

She could withstand the drizzle, but her delicate eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her face was flushed as she suppressed her pain.

"What...what did you do to us?"

"Life and Death Talisman".

Yue Zhuoqun briefly explained the terror of the Life and Death Talisman to them, then said with a smile:

"The Wheel King is dead, and the Black Stone has no master."

If you choose to submit, I can spare your lives.

Without a second thought, Lei Bin and Lian Sheng crawled painfully to Yue Zhuoqun's feet, kowtowing frantically: "I...I'm willing to submit, please...please spare me!"

"What about you?"

Xi Yu glanced at Lian Sheng and the other man with a conflicted expression, but finally gritted her teeth and chose to submit, kneeling down and bowing her head: "Master."

"it is good!"

"Although King Yama is dead, the foundation of Black Stone is still there, so there is no need to disband it."

After the light rain, become the new leader of Blackstone and integrate the organization as soon as possible.

Those who are loyal to the Wheel-Turning King and those who harbor disloyal intentions should be dealt with decisively without mercy.

"Yes!"

The drizzle nodded.

She was originally an assassin trained by King Yama, so it didn't matter who she served. Once she made a decision, she quickly adjusted her mindset.

Yue Zhuoqun then took out three bottles of antidote and threw them to them: "These are the antidotes to suppress the Life and Death Talisman. Take one pill per month."

The three of them took the pills without hesitation and immediately poured one out and swallowed it.

A moment later, the intense itching and pain disappeared, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.

The remaining gangsters around them were intimidated by Yue Zhuoqun's ruthless methods and knew that they could not escape from under his nose.

Those with quick wits immediately threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground: "Sect Leader Yue, we are also willing to pledge our loyalty, please spare our lives."

Do you think I'll accept just any Tom, Dick, or Harry?

These people are not only bad at martial arts, but they also do all sorts of bad things. He doesn't have that kind of tolerance.

It wouldn't be bad to use them as tools for Huashan disciples to fight demons and defend the righteous path and gain prestige.
