Chapter 236：Zhong Shan’s Threat

"you're son of bitch~" Inside the flag formation, a furious roar suddenly echoed out. Then, the slender hand holding the blade qi emitted a faint white light and twisted fiercely.

"Boom~" The blade qi dissipated, and even the general's large blade exploded into fragments, shooting towards him.

"Pff~" The general sprayed a mouthful of blood, realizing the danger.

Behind him, more than twenty Break-Origin Arrows shot towards the white hand.

"Pang~" Suddenly, within the flag formation, over a hundred sword qi, each a hundred meters long, burst forth, directly breaking through the more than twenty Break-Origin Arrows. The remaining sword qi shot towards the soldiers in the sky.

"Crackling~" A series of sounds of arrows piercing flesh rang out. Except for the general, who protected himself with his qi, all the other soldiers were pierced by the sword qi and torn apart.

Terrified, the general turned and fled.

"Thinking of running?~" A white sword qi broke through the flag formation, directly cutting the general into two with one strike.

In the sky, the white-robed man reappeared out of nowhere.

With a face full of anger, the white-robed man looked at his three dead disciples. His eyes turned cold as he gazed at the other soldiers who were slaughtered by the sword formation. And at the fleeing soldiers.

"Thinking of running? Not a single one of you will escape," the white-robed man said coldly.

Then, he tossed his long sword, which turned into a stream of light, shooting directly towards the fleeing soldiers in the distance.

Standing in the distance, controlling his flying sword from afar.

"Crackling~" All the fleeing soldiers were killed, none left alive. Then, the flying swords returned and aimed at the soldiers who were fighting his disciples.

"Whoosh whoosh~" In a battle of mismatched levels, the white-robed man's flying swords shot towards the soldiers. In an instant, the struggling soldiers were overwhelmed. Either they were killed by the white-robed man's flying swords or by his disciples' sword formation.

In the end, only one soldier was left, looking in horror at the dead bodies around him.

"Don't kill me, please don't kill me!" the soldier cried out in terror.

With an angry expression, the white-robed man flew over.

"Kill my disciples, and you expect me not to kill you? Speak, why did you kill my disciples?" the white-robed man demanded angrily.

Meanwhile, the eldest senior brother quickly gathered the bodies of his three deceased disciples and walked over to his master with a look of anger.

"Elder, I was just following orders. Because the guide saw Zhongshan and Princess Qianyou sitting in that carriage earlier, he thought they were inside the flag formation. If we had known it was you, we would never have dared," the soldier said in fear.

"You didn't know? You didn't bother to ask? You killed my disciples, so you must die!" the white-robed man roared angrily. "Elder, we really didn't know," the soldier said fearfully.

But the white-robed man was clearly not a benevolent person. With a wave of his long sword, he split the soldier's body in half.

"Master, Junior Brother, Thirteenth Junior Brother, and Twenty-Sixth Junior Brother are dead. There's no saving them," the eldest senior brother said sorrowfully.

The white-robed man turned his head to look at his three dead disciples, then glanced at the carriage not far away. His eyes turned cold as he said, "Princess Qianyou, Zhongshan? Search for them, search the Miasma Forest."

"Yes," the disciples responded.

On the mountain, Zhongshan and Princess Qianyou exchanged a bitter glance, a hint of bitterness flashing in their eyes.

Sure enough, the group of disciples quickly found Zhongshan and Princess Qianyou shortly after rushing into the Miasma Forest.

"Master, they're here," the eldest senior brother suddenly shouted.

"Whoosh~" A group of people quickly surrounded them.

With wide eyes and swords in hand, they all pointed towards Zhongshan and Princess Qianyou within the flag formation, waiting for their master to handle the situation.

From the white-robed man's previous actions, Zhongshan analyzed that this person was clean and decisive, ruthless, and didn't hesitate to ask for what he wanted. He didn't spare the soldiers' storage bracelets, indicating he was an extremely tough character. Such individuals were very tricky to deal with because they had few weaknesses, and external factors were unlikely to sway their resolute hearts.

The white-robed man walked to the front and looked at the two people inside the flag formation. However, his divine sense couldn't detect anything, furrowing his brows. But the anger in his eyes remained, knowing that his most beloved disciples died because of these two.

"Zhongshan!" Zhongshan took the initiative to step out of the flag formation.

"I know who you are, Princess Qianyou, Zhongshan. Eight million soldiers from the Great Yu Empire searched for you for more than two months. Just now, this group of people also came to chase after you," the white-robed man said.

"It's really unfortunate to trouble you all!" Zhongshan said.

"Trouble? No one can trouble my disciples. Since my three disciples died because of you, then you will accompany them in death!" The white-robed man said harshly, his long sword moving, evidently about to make a move.

Princess Qianyou's heart tightened, instinctively preparing to dodge.

But just as Princess Qianyou was about to dodge, she was suddenly grabbed by Zhongshan's hand.

Escape? How could they escape? The battle just now was clearly witnessed. The white-robed man was at least in the Yuanying stage, and his disciples' sword formation had the power of a Yuanying stage expert.

Zhongshan suddenly looked up and burst into laughter, which was extremely abrupt and weird, especially in front of everyone. However, this sudden burst of laughter achieved the result Zhongshan expected, causing the white-robed man to pause.

"What are you laughing at?" the white-robed man said coldly.

After the white-robed man spoke, Zhongshan paused and then looked coldly at him. "I'm laughing at your ignorance. You're ignorant of your impending doom, ignorant of your impending clan extinction."

"Humph, deceiving the public with false words," the white-robed man said coldly, preparing to strike again.

"Do you know who I am? Do you know who she is? If you kill us today, the fifty-one of you will have no burial ground. If there's a sect, the entire sect will be destroyed. If there's a family, the entire family will die," Zhongshan shouted angrily, his eyes wide open.

"Humph, who are you? Who is she? Princess Qianyou of the Daluo Heavenly Dynasty, but this is Daguang, not your Daluo," the white-robed man said angrily, but his hand paused slightly.

"This is Daguang, but what's the difference between Daguang and Daluo? The Daguang and Daluo alliance is as one, united to destroy the Great Yu Empire. Why did I and the princess come here instead of fleeing elsewhere? Your Daguang Empire's army is gathering here on the border, waiting to welcome our arrival. It's just that they haven't encountered us yet. Once Princess Qianyou dies, Daguang will be the first to be held accountable. As for Daluo, you should know Princess Qianyou's status in Daluo. When the princess dies, countless Heavenly Supreme experts will assassinate you. How many sects will protect you? How many families will save you? None will be spared, all will be wiped out," Zhongshan shouted angrily.

After Zhongshan finished speaking, the disciples behind the white-robed man felt a sudden tension in their hearts. Their previous anger suddenly turned into a trace of worry.

"Humph, trying to deceive me? How could Daguang and Daluo possibly form an alliance? This is just a case of killing the chicken to scare the monkey. Once the Great Yu Empire falls, Daguang will directly face the Daluo Heavenly Dynasty," the white-robed man said skeptically, but his movements slowed down significantly.

"Hehe, you don't believe it? Do you know why Prince Hanjue and Princess Qianyou went to the Great Yu Empire this time? It should be known everywhere that Yiyan has been removed from his position, but let me tell you, Yiyan wasn't just removed, he's dead. Otherwise, why would the Great Yu Empire remove him? Who would be foolish enough to remove Yiyan? They just didn't want it to be known to outsiders. Without Yiyan, the Great Yu Empire will sooner or later belong to the Daluo Heavenly Dynasty. Do you think Daguang will get a share of the pie or try to buy more time and seize more cities from the Great Yu Empire?" Zhongshan said convincingly.

Sure enough, the white-robed man furrowed his brows, and then his eyes turned cold. "So what? How does it concern me? If I kill you, who will know?"

Hearing the white-robed man's words, Zhongshan smiled inwardly and said, "Who will know? Besides you, there are fifty pairs of eyes here. Unless you kill them all."

"Haha, these are all my disciples. If I kill you, do you think they will report me?" the white-robed man said harshly.

And those disciples nodded, looking coldly at Zhongshan and Princess Qianyou. If they kill you, who will know?

"Haha, report you? What if I offer ten million spirit stones plus an official position in the Daluo Heavenly Dynasty?" Zhongshan said confidently.

Hearing Zhongshan's words, the white-robed man furrowed his brows, and some of his disciples' eyes suddenly lit up.

"Fifty disciples, can you guarantee that they can resist temptation? Ten million spirit stones, well, for a princess of a Heavenly Dynasty, that's too little. How about ten billion? Your disciples may just need to say a word to get ten billion spirit stones and an absolute high-ranking position. Can they all resist it? Perhaps the rewards I mentioned are still too low," Zhongshan said with a smile.

At this point, the white-robed man also stared at Zhongshan, his eyes full of suspicion.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, the soldiers who died just now, the Great Yu Army will know within two days at most. By then, they will inquire, and soon they will know that we appeared here. Once we die without anyone knowing, everyone in this area will be quickly controlled. At that time, anyone seen passing through during this period will be interrogated. Did you come here and fly in the air? Have you been seen by others? As long as there's suspicion, they'll surely trace it back and find your sect. By then, the entire Daguang Empire will issue a warrant, directly targeting your sect or family. Perhaps your disciples can resist temptation, but can they withstand torture? You need to know, to uncover the truth, they might even extract souls and burn them with Yin Fire. Can you guarantee that they will all keep their mouths shut?" Zhongshan stared at him coldly.
