Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 325 The Destruction of Cihang Jingzhai, a Mysterious Voice

More than ten days have passed since that earth-shattering battle in the capital city of Daxing.

In these days, the martial arts world was in turmoil, and the entire Central Plains was shocked by the outcome of this great battle.

The defeat of the three grandmasters.

The Sui emperor's true fighting strength was so formidable that it inspired despair.

Every aspect of this story has a profound impact on the minds of everyone who hears it.

No one expected that so many martial arts grandmasters would emerge from that battle.

Even more unexpectedly, Buddhism still lost under these circumstances.

The Sui Emperor's true combat strength was actually above that of the three Grandmasters.

This news left countless martial arts practitioners stunned, astonished, and filled with disbelief.

The Sui emperor's image has always been very poor, and his martial arts skills have never been mentioned.

If it weren't for the intervention of three grandmasters, the world would probably still be unaware of the true strength of this supreme ruler of the Central Plains, who has already surpassed all the martial arts masters of the time.

Number one in the world!

After this battle, the title of the greatest in the world will fall to the Sui Emperor.

Countless people couldn't help but marvel at how crazy this era was.

No one could have predicted that the greatest power and the greatest martial prowess in the world would both reside in one person.

This is something that has never happened before in history.

Besides the Buddhist sects, the Lingnan Song cliques were the most affected by the outcome of this battle.

Song Zhi's eyes were unfocused, and his face showed grief and disbelief.

He desperately didn't want to believe that his elder brother, who had never been defeated, had lost; in his heart, Song Que was the strongest person in the world.

But that's the outcome, and Song Zhi has to accept this reality.

Because if Song Que fails, then his Song clan will have to bear the wrath of those who assassinated the current emperor.

"Second Brother, the Sui Emperor has already ordered Li Yuan and his son to lead troops to take Lingnan. The army is on its way. What should we do?"

Song Lu's face was solemn. Before his elder brother Song Que set off, the elite troops of Lingnan were all waiting for news of Song Que's victory.

But now news of defeat has arrived, which has somewhat destabilized the morale of the elite troops in Lingnan.

Because Song Que had always been a pillar of the Lingnan Song Clan army.

As long as Song Que is there, they will never be defeated.

Back then, Song Que led 10,000 elite troops and defeated the Sui Dynasty's 100,000-strong army, winning ten battles in a row!
But now Song Que has been defeated, and his fate is unknown.

The entire Song clan and even most of the army were in a state of panic.

"Unless the Sui Emperor personally leads the expedition, what are the Li clan! If they dare to come, we will make sure they suffer a crushing defeat!"

As the second-in-command of the Song Clan, Song Zhi naturally cannot show fear or panic now that Song Que is not around. He must adopt a calm and tough stance.

"Third brother, have faith in the people of Lingnan. All those years of honing your skills have paid off!"
"Follow me, mobilize everyone, defeat the Li clan, and let the Sui Emperor understand that even without our eldest brother, the Song clan is still not to be trifled with!"

Song Zhi's words gave Song Lu more confidence. He nodded vigorously, his eyes burning, and said, "Yes, Second Brother, if the Li Clan is coming, then let's fight!"

None of the Song clan members are cowards!

Meanwhile, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, along with Shi Feixuan and Fu Junyu, whom they had forcibly controlled, left Daxing and returned to Dita Peak.

He wanted to rest at Cihang Jingzhai for a while, adjust his mindset, and then think of another way to take revenge.

But not long after climbing the mountain, Xu Ziling's expression changed. He sniffed hard and said, "Something's wrong! Young Master Zhong, there's a smell of blood!"

Kou Zhong had no doubts upon hearing this. Even though he hadn't smelled it yet, he was very clear about Xu Ziling's perception.

Since Xu Ziling started practicing martial arts, his five senses have become far stronger than those of ordinary people.

His perception is extraordinary.

"Something's happened?!" Kou Zhong's expression turned grave.

The two exchanged a glance, each carrying Shi Feixuan and Fu Junyu, who were still unconscious and had their pressure points sealed, and quickly used their lightness skills to rush towards Cihang Jingzhai. The closer they got to Cihang Jingzhai, the stronger the stench of blood became.

Even Kou Zhong could smell it.

"Such a strong smell of blood, this is bad!"

Xu Ziling was shocked. The stench of blood was extremely strong, and he could imagine the heavy casualties among the disciples who remained in Cihang Jingzhai.

Kou Zhong's expression turned serious, and he increased his speed again.

The two soon arrived at the gate of Cihang Jingzhai. The stench of blood was overwhelming, and many wild animals were devouring the corpses.

The mountain gate was dilapidated, and at a glance, many of the halls and pavilions had collapsed, with almost none remaining intact.

The scene before my eyes was a blood-red expanse, filled with all sorts of strange odors, resembling a hellish place.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling stood frozen in place, their eyes wide with shock, their lips trembling, and their faces pale.

"It's over!" Kou Zhong's vision almost went black.

Such a shocking scene suggests that the Cihang Jingzhai sect must have been wiped out!
Xu Ziling tried his best to sense whether there was another survivor, but unfortunately, there was no trace of life force present.

"Stop eating!"

"Die to me!"

Kou Zhong, enraged by the sight of the beasts still devouring the carcasses, unleashed a torrent of fury at them.

He slammed the wild beasts to pieces, and after holding back for so long, he could no longer contain himself and unleashed his fury.

Xu Ziling also moved, chopping the wild beasts that had gathered there into pieces.

After a long while, the two dragons descended from Emperor's Peak and washed the blood off their bodies by the water.

Shi Feixuan and the other woman were still unconscious, and the two dared not wake them up.

Especially Shi Feixuan, if she were to see the tragic scene at Cihang Jingzhai, she would probably lose her mind even more.

After slaying the wild beasts, the remains of the Cihang Jingzhai disciples were disposed of, inevitably becoming stained with a lot of blood.

"Who on earth could have destroyed Cihang Jingzhai so quickly?!" Kou Zhong asked angrily as he washed away the debris.

“It’s Yuwen Huaji!” Xu Ziling said.

"How did you know?!" Kou Zhong paused for a moment, then asked in confusion.

"This is the same scene as when Yuwen Huaji destroyed the Jingnian Temple. All the disciples were killed, and all the belongings were taken away, leaving only a pile of ruins."

Xu Ziling, with his keen observation skills, noticed this characteristic. He then met Kou Zhong's gaze and said in a deep voice:

"The most crucial point is that Yuwen Huaji never appeared."

Upon hearing this, Kou Zhong recalled that Yuwen Huaji had indeed not appeared during the battle of Daxing City.

The person in charge of security within the city was still Yuwen Chengdu, not Yuwen Huaji.

Logically speaking, Yuwen Huaji should be responsible for this matter.

"No wonder he didn't show up that day; it turns out he had been secretly leading troops straight towards Cihang Jingzhai from the very beginning! He's really ruthless!"

Kou Zhong slammed his fist into the water, sending up a towering column of water.

"Damn it, we are still too weak! If only you and I had the strength of a martial arts grandmaster."

"In that battle, with the three grandmasters joining forces, we will surely be able to kill the Sui Emperor and avenge my godmother!"

Xu Ziling clenched his fists. The Sui Emperor was so strong, while they were so weak.

Seeking revenge is an impossible task!
"Is the Sui Emperor you're talking about Yang Guang?"

Suddenly, a slightly aged voice rang out, startling the two dragons.

who! ?

Who's speaking?!
