Big news

The Spirit Spring Sect that had been established for less than ten years had been reduced to ashes in a huge fire. More than two hundred disciples, because of the death of the Patriarch and the Elder, had scattered.

Perhaps they would join other sects, perhaps they would go and live an ordinary life, but the scene of Jun Changxiao killing people would forever be engraved in their hearts, becoming an indelible memory of fear.

In the wilderness.

Brother Green Hat knelt in front of the grave, clenching his fist tightly. "Patriarch, Elder, disciple will one day avenge you, avenge the Spirit Spring Sect!"

Standing up, carrying his luggage, he resolutely walked towards the east. There was a colossus there, called the Spirit Spring Sect.

"Jun Changxiao!"

Brother Green Hat's voice rippled. "My name is Dai Lü, remember it clearly!"

These words, he only dared to shout in the forest where there was no one around.

… …

"Big news, big news!"

"The Spirit Spring Sect was set on fire yesterday, the entire sect was reduced to ashes, and the disciples all ran away!"

In Yaoyang City, the sky had just begun to brighten, and a martial artist was shouting on the streets.

This news was like a wildfire, instantly spreading through the streets, every household, and even every nook and cranny.

The first reaction of the martial artists in the city was, this early in the morning, what kind of joke is this?

When people went to the Spirit Spring Mountain one after another and saw the ruins of the sect, they firmly believed that the Spirit Spring Sect that had been tyrannical for many years was really gone …

"My mother, who is so daring to set fire to the Spirit Spring Sect!"

"Patriarch Wei and Elder Wei!"

"I heard from the disciples that escaped that the Patriarch and Elder of the Spirit Spring Sect were all killed. This sect can be considered to have been completely removed from the Jianghu!"

"Who killed them?"

"I'm afraid you won't believe it, but the one who killed the Wei brothers was the head of the Iron Bone Sect!"

"Iron Bone Sect? Isn't that a ninth-rate sect? How did he have the strength to destroy the Spirit Spring Sect, did he invite some expert! "

"He didn't invite any expert, it was just him alone!"

"Damn, is the Sect Leader of a ninth-rate sect that awesome?"

"The Spirit Spring Sect and the Iron Bone Sect clashed in Qingyang City. I thought that the Iron Bone Sect would cease to exist, but I didn't expect that the Spirit Spring Sect would be destroyed instead!"

"Behind the Spirit Spring Sect is the Holy Spring Sect. If they knew about this, they would definitely go to the Iron Bone Sect to denounce us!"

"Not just the Sacred Spring Sect, the Hundred Sect Alliance will not let Iron Bone off either. After all, there is a rule that sects in the alliance cannot commit acts of extermination!"

Yaoyang City was completely shaken.

Whether it was martial artists or ordinary people, they were all talking about the destruction of the Spirit Spring Sect and the Iron Bone Sect Leader.

…

The news quickly spread throughout the Azure Sun County.

The Long Blade Sect, the Tiger's Howl Sect, and the other sects were in an uproar after receiving the news of the Spirit Spring Sect's destruction.

What kind of joke was this?

The Spirit Spring Sect was destroyed by the Iron Bone Sect?

When more and more news came in, they had no choice but to accept this fact!

Azure Sun City, City Lord's Mansion.

City Lord Xie also received the news. He stood in his study with his hands behind his back and said, "First, you led your disciples to become the champion of the sect competition, and then you destroyed the Spirit Spring Sect. Sect Leader Jun, you really are someone who can achieve great things."

"However …"

He shook his head and said, "Although the Holy Spring Sect does not recognize the Spirit Spring Sect, the four Wei brothers were still disciples of the sect. You killed them, which is equivalent to provoking a fifth-rate sect."

"Reporting."

A guard walked in and cupped his hands. "The Hundred Sect Alliance Leader is here to visit."

"Heh."

City Lord Xie said, "You came quite quickly."

He rubbed his temples and said, "Please enter the guest hall."

"Yes."

…

The guest hall.

A middle-aged man walked in and cupped his hands. "City Lord Xie, long time no see. I've missed you."

City Lord Xie gestured for him to sit down. "Is Alliance Leader Qin here for the Iron Bone Sect?"

"That's right."

Alliance Leader Qin said angrily, "Iron Bone Sect is a member of the Hundred Sect Alliance. It is intolerable for them to destroy a sect. I am here today in hopes that City Lord can …"

City Lord Xie interrupted, "Iron Bone Sect may be a member of the Hundred Sect Alliance, but it is still within the borders of Azure Sun City. I don't care which faction you represent, you cannot touch it. Otherwise, you will be making an enemy of the 3.6 million citizens of Azure Sun City."

Alliance Leader Qin's face darkened. "City Lord Xie, you want to protect Iron Bone Sect?"

City Lord Xie tapped his finger on the table. "Don't misunderstand. I am not protecting Iron Bone Sect, I am protecting the citizens of Azure Sun City."

"Good!"

Alliance Leader Qin said, "Since that is the case, let's follow the rules of Azure Sun City. Jun Changxiao, a citizen of your city, killed the Wei brothers and more than 30 disciples. What should be his punishment?"

"Not guilty."

City Lord Xie said indifferently.

"Pa!"

Alliance Leader Qin slammed the table and said angrily, "City Lord Xie, you don't want the Hundred Sect Alliance to interfere, and you don't want to punish Jun Changxiao. This is too obvious!"

"Pa!"

City Lord Xie slammed the table and shouted, "The Spirit Spring Sect hired assassins from the Drizzle Building to enter Azure Sun City. I want to ask, who gave them the guts to do so!"

Very fierce, very strong!

"Drizzle Building assassins?" Alliance Leader Qin was stunned. Obviously, he did not know the inside story.

City Lord Xie said coldly, "The conflict between the Spirit Spring Sect and Iron Bone Sect was just a small one. Wei Yixi held a grudge in his heart. He first colluded with the bandits, then hired assassins, and did all sorts of despicable things. He deserved to be destroyed."

"… …"

Alliance Leader Qin was silent.

He knew that since Xie Guangkun said so, there must be evidence.

"Alliance Leader Qin."

City Lord Xie said indifferently, "If Jun Changxiao had done something heartless, you don't need to come and punish him. This City Lord would have already done it."

Alliance Leader Qin calmed down and said gently, "How about this, City Lord Xie, please call Jun Changxiao over. I, Qin, will speak with him as the Alliance Leader."

Xie Guangkun said, "Since Iron Bone is a member of your alliance, as the Alliance Leader, you can naturally speak with him. Let's meet at the Star Moon Pavilion."

Alliance Leader Qin understood that this guy was afraid that he would act recklessly, so he purposely set the meeting in his own territory. Thus, he compromised and said, "Please inform Sect Leader Jun that we will meet at the Star Moon Pavilion three days later."

Saying so, he stood up and cupped his hands, "Goodbye."

"I won't send you off!" Xie Guangkun said.

After Alliance Leader Qin left, he sat down and drank some tea. He shook his head and said, "Sect Leader Jun, this City Lord almost turned against the Hundred Sect Alliance for you."

"City Lord Xie, you can't say that." Jun Changxiao walked out from the inner screen and smiled, "You and I are working together. It's a win-win situation."

Saying so, he placed two Beginner Grade Healing Pills on the table.

So this guy had been in the study all this while. He was the one who told Xie Guangkun about the destruction of the Spirit Spring Sect and Wei Yixi's actions.

Jun Changxiao had predicted that the Hundred Sect Alliance would denounce him, so he thought of a countermeasure in advance. Using two Beginner Grade Healing Pills as the price, he asked City Lord Xie to help suppress the matter.

Destroying a sect was a big deal.

Jun Changxiao knew the importance of dealing with the aftermath. Otherwise, how could he survive in the Falling Star Continent where everyone was scheming against each other?

Xie Guangkun picked up one of the Beginner Grade Healing Pills and said, "Sect Leader Jun, does this pill really have the ability to heal injuries quickly?"

Jun Changxiao said, "Is there a need for Jun to lie to City Lord Xie?"

Xie Guangkun met his gaze and laughed, "You're right. You and I are working together. It's a win-win situation."

Jun Changxiao stood up and said, "I still have matters to attend to in the sect. I will take my leave first."

"Don't forget, three days later at the Star Moon Pavilion." Xie Guangkun said.

"I will keep my promise." Jun Changxiao said as he walked out of the hall and climbed over the wall to leave the City Lord's residence.

Xie Guangkun placed the pill in front of his nose and sniffed it. He muttered, "After destroying the Spirit Spring Sect, he came to me to help suppress the matter. This kid is really not simple."
