816 Emergence (1/2)
”Good. Very good. You've confessed!” said Tang Shushu with a serious expression. ”Since that's the case, the Fairy Sect is an evil sect trying to bring chaos to the Pugilistic World, and all of you are accomplices! Your crime is unforgivable! We, the righteous side of the Pugilistic World, must not spare your lives!”
Although he was inverting black and white, he miraculously felt that he was following an irresistible trend. Anyone who submitted to it would prosper, and those who resisted it would perish!
”We're willing to regard the Armament Repository as our master and annihilate the source of the chaos!”
Many responded supportively, and the Demon Sect disciples directly took out their armaments.
All of a sudden, everyone in the venue tensed up.
”Hmph… The public will know who is righteous!” The Fairy Sect Master sneered. ”We weren't planning on returning alive when we decided to come here today, but we'll let the martial artists of the world see your hypocrisy even if all of us have to die at this place!”
They can see it, but so what? In this world, strength determines everything in the end… Tang Shushu sighed in his mind and then waved his hand.
Numerous small sects hastily backed away from the Fairy Sect, leaving a large, empty area.
”Anyone else?”
Tang Shushu glanced coldly over the entire venue.
In fact, there were quite a few people in the Orthodox Dao who had been his close friends. Some were even relatives and elders in his family.
But now, he suppressed his feelings.
After all, as long as his family had members on both sides, some of them would eventually survive regardless of the outcome. Otherwise, all of them might die!
Therefore, he had sincerely turned to the Demon Dao and would not hesitate to slaughter his own sect if Fang Yuan ordered him to do so.
”Fairy Sect, the Myriad Transformation Sword Sect shall fight alongside you!”
Sect Master Red Eyebrows let out a long roar, walked out from the crowd, and stood beside the Fairy Sect.
”And the Iron Blood Giant Spear Council!”
”The Three River Boundless Gang!”
”The Zhao, Qian, and Sun families!”
”And the Jiang family!”
The Jiang family's patriarch sighed and slowly stepped out.
Even with them, the Orthodox Dao was still like a drop in the ocean. The Demon Dao members besieging them were hundreds of times as many as them, making them appear extremely lonely.
Confronted by the majority of the people, they lost their morale before the battle even began!
After some transient ardor, even the disciples of the Myriad Transformation Sword Sect could not help feeling that they might have made the wrong choice.
”Hehe… I'm afraid that such a small group of people aren't enough for us to kill!”
At this moment, an elder in black carrying a saber walked near them with a sinister smile. He said in a chilling voice, ”My name is Sanguinefor visiting.
Seeing that Red Eyebrows had almost killed him, panic and enmity flashed across this disciple's eyes, and he immediately stated Red Eyebrows' crimes loudly in front of the crowd, ”That's right… Red Eyebrows looks kind, but he's actually cruel. He h-has forced three disciples to die just for his own reputation. He can do anything in order to earn a good reputation…”
As for how much of it was false, it would depend on the opinion of the audience.
”Damn! I shouldn't have accepted this wicked man into my sect!”
Red Eyebrows seethed with anger.
It was true that he could do anything to earn a good reputation and that he was inflexible like a neo-Confucian who could force his own daughter to die. However, this disciple accused him of all sorts of non-existent crimes in order to survive. That, he could not endure.
He did not fear death, but he was afraid that he would die for nothing with his reputation ruined!
”Red Eyebrows has done such things, and his associates must be similar to him! We should publicly reveal their crimes and let the world denounce them!”
Sanguine Tusu laughed aloud and waved his hand ferociously. ”Anyone who doesn't make a clean break with them today will be enemies of the Armament Repository!”
He moved his finger and pointed at a few sects sitting on the fence.
When two sides had turned against each other, was it not ridiculous trying to stay friendly with both sides?
The Armament Repository wants us to be cannon fodder?
This is bad. While the Fairy Sect Master has lost her martial arts, the protectors in the sect won't be defeated easily. Furthermore, there's still Sect Master Red Eyebrows and the heads of a few established families!
Those being pointed at looked at one another awkwardly.
”Well? The Heavy Sword Sect, the Kui Mountain Sect, and the Heaven River Sect, are you hesitant because you have doubts?”
The neutral sects could not make up their minds, but they could deduce from Sanguine Tusu's expression that the Armament Repository would most probably annihilate them altogether if they continued to hesitate.
Sanguine Tusu had a sharp eye and did not push the neutral sects to the opposite side all at once. Instead, he picked out a few and forced them to take a stand.
Despite knowing that it was a strategy to deal with them separately, these sect masters had to step out and cup their hands. ”We will naturally follow the Armament Repository Master's order!”
They had to die for their sects and families!
”Kill!”
Chaos ensued in the next moment.
The venue immediately became a battlefield.
Young talents and renowned martial artists fell to the ground one after another. In the blink of an eye, members of the three sects that were picked out had all died.
