Chapter 271 A tomb is, after all, a grave.
"Both the Cold Cicada and the Devouring Jade are famous swords that countless people in the martial arts world covet, but in the Luo Net, they don't even rank among the top-tier swords for killing."
Zhu Zhong was quite satisfied with the sword in his hand. He examined it carefully, but after a moment he sighed softly.
"I wonder what kind of person is capable of taking charge of the Net!"
Situ Wanli's body trembled instantly, and he exclaimed in alarm, "Be careful what you say!"
"How dare you discuss the emperor's affairs?"
When Han Chan was first taken over, Lord Changxin was not nearly as terrifying as he is now. Situ Wanli even had a choice and hesitated for a long time.
But what about Changxin Jun today?
While the person was still far away in the Qin state, a few orders were enough to cause the large farming family to fall apart and be on the verge of destruction.
Turn your hand and clouds will appear, turn your hand again and rain will fall!
Situ Wanli dared not harbor any other thoughts about such an unfathomable and terrifying figure.
Seeing Situ Wanli's trembling silence, Zhu Zhong said no more.
However, in his heart, he grew increasingly enamored with Lord Changxin, the man who orchestrated the downfall of the peasantry.
As a true man, this is what you should do!
……
"Brother, we should be safe here now. Those pursuers can't keep up with us!"
Tian Hu tore off a piece of his clothing to wrap his bleeding severed arm, each step leaving a trail of crimson lotus blossoms in the snow.
In the battle to break through the encirclement, he was at the forefront, leading the charge. He then ran for dozens of miles, sustaining serious injuries and almost completely exhausting his strength.
"We'll rest for a bit, then immediately head back to Lieshan Hall to deliver the message to the leader of the bandits."
Tian Meng leaned against a tree to rest, looking grave. He wasn't much better off than Tian Hu.
At this moment, all the elites who had accompanied him to the meeting had been killed or wounded, and his own body was covered in wounds and bloodstains.
"Damn it, there must be a traitor this time. Someone is trying to wipe out my entire family!"
Although Tian Hu had a fiery temper and was reckless, he had now clearly understood the situation.
Tian Meng said with some worry, "That millet seed is just an excuse. The fact that he can mobilize the Qi army means his identity is already obvious. Our farming family is in danger!"
"But those six elders are still in the Tomb of the Six Sages, and I'm afraid their fate is probably grim..."
Before Tian Meng could finish speaking, a shadow had already fallen over the area.
"If you have time to worry about others, think about yourself first."
A cold voice suddenly rang out beside them.
Tian Meng and Tian Hu felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and even the blood in their bodies seemed to freeze.
Looking around, six shadowy figures of different shapes appeared to slice through the moonlight from six directions, and the blood droplets on the sword's edge fell to the ground and froze.
The murderous aura seemed to emanate from all directions, and the "domain" formed by the six people had already covered the area.
No way to escape!
……
Dazeshan Mountain.
The tombs of the Six Worthies of Emperor Yan.
Something seems to have happened outside?
"Perhaps it's internal strife."
"We entered the Tomb of the Six Sages in a bit of a rush, and didn't have enough time to choose a successor."
"This is a last resort. While besieging and killing Bai Qi is glorious, he also has a large number of supporters and followers, which the peasants cannot afford."
“If Bai Qi had not been given poisoned wine beforehand and had not been prepared to die, we might not have been able to kill him.”
"Touching the king's sore spot will shatter your sword and kill your heart. Bai Qi died because of the king's power, not because of us."
"Bai Qi, the butcher, is truly terrifying. Every time I think of that battle, it feels like it was just yesterday, and the nightmare in my heart is hard to shake off."
"Don't mention that man anymore."
"Let us continue our cultivation. Now that we have entered the Tomb of the Six Sages, we have no further concern ourselves with the changing winds and clouds of the outside world."
"Spring silkworms do not yearn for autumn silk."
Summer cicadas are unaware of winter snow.
The cycle of life and death is not a matter of human life.
"Rise and fall are not determined by royal power."
A sound like an aria echoed within the Tomb of the Six Sages, and the six men each sat cross-legged on a futon and began their cultivation.
The dim light illuminated the statue of Shennong, which seemed to emit a silent sigh.
"Wait...why is there smoke?"
"Is there a fire outside?"
"Don't worry about it. My disciples are numerous, and this fire will be put out soon."
"makes sense."
The Tomb of the Six Sages fell silent once again.
"General, rest assured, I will report your help to Lord Changxin as truthfully as possible."
Outside the Tomb of the Six Sages, a killer-level assassin from the Luo Wang organization wearing a red mask is talking to a general from the Qi Kingdom.
Although the Zhu family captured him, they released him after successfully breaking through the encirclement.
The peasant family's stronghold was in the State of Qi, and even though the Zhu family was besieged this time, they dared not kill the general of Qi.
Having learned his lesson, he no longer dared to underestimate the martial arts skills of those in the martial arts world.
He decisively adopted the suggestion of the assassins from the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) and set fire to the Tomb of the Six Sages, then sealed it off with a large army.
"Haha, it's just setting a fire, it's nothing!"
"These tombs of the Six Sages, they're called tombs, so aren't they just graves?"
"It's good that the person died inside, so they don't have to be buried!"
The Qi general laughed loudly: "I only hope that Lord Changxin will cooperate more, and that the Drunken Prince will give me more of that; I love this taste."
Flames licked at the massive Shennong statue atop the mountain, and it seemed as if molten bronze was flowing from its stone eyes.
Amidst the firelight and laughter, the fates of the six elders of the Six Sages' Tomb, whose status was no less than that of the leader of the Farmer's Clan, had already been decided.
"Why do I feel something is wrong?"
"Why is the smoke getting thicker?"
"No, we have to go out and check. It seems like no one has come to put out the fire?"
"I felt uneasy, as if Bai Qi was beckoning to me."
"Could it be an external enemy?"
"This is Daze Mountain, where would any foreign enemies come from?"
"Go out and take a look first!"
"How...why is there a military formation outside?"
"We can't get out!"
"It's a bit frustrating to die like this."
"If only I had known I would die at Bai Qi's hands..."
"Ugh……"
……
"Of the six hall masters of the Gonggong Hall, Shennong Hall, Siyue Hall, Lieshan Hall, Chiyou Hall, and the Farmer's School, five have died."
"Chen Sheng, the only one from the Kuiwei Hall, was arrested and imprisoned in the Shiya Prison of Qi. Wu Kuang, the chief steward, also died in front of the tomb of the Six Sages of Yan Emperor."
"Furthermore, the six elders of the peasant family did not leave the Tomb of the Six Sages until the matter was settled, and were completely unaware of everything that happened outside."
"After a large fire, six charred corpses were found inside?"
Hanoi.
Ying Jing listened to the report from the Six Sword Slaves regarding the final results of this campaign against the peasants.
Just as Ying Jing had set the goal for this time.
A net is exhausted!
None of the six members of the farmhouse, including the six elders, escaped.
Chen Sheng, the only one still alive, is now imprisoned in the Qi State's Tooth-Eating Prison.
"Then, only Tian Guang is left."
Ying Jing tapped the table lightly.
Of the former leaders of the farming family, only Tian Guang remains.
Next in line are Situ Wanli, who is in charge of the Hidden Dragon Hall, and Zhu Zhong and his ilk, who have already defected to the Luo Net.
Once Tian Guang's problem is solved, the farmers are at your fingertips.
"only……"
Han Fei is ready to offer land and seal, and Ying Jing needs to send the Six Sword Slaves to accompany and protect him; he himself may even need to go in person.
"Perhaps... I'll have to rely on a woman again."
Touching his chin, Ying Jing secretly made a plan.
