Chapter 601: The Massacre Begins, the Schemes of Bull Head and Horse Face
A grand scene of pursuit and being pursued unfolded throughout the God and Demon Cemetery.
In the four directions of southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest, there were experts stationed.
In the north, an enormous toad, comparable to a mountain, stood guard.
This toad was originally a powerful overlord from the Eight Desolates. During the Reincarnation War, it decisively sided with the Heavenly Court.
After the Reincarnation War ended, the giant toad knew its Beast Clan identity was quite awkward, so it opened a small Golden Toad Academy for self-cultivation.
Now that Gui Daoran and Gui Qianjie had encountered a bit of trouble, this giant toad was naturally “captured” by Chen Changsheng to do forced labor.
Besides this, in the south of the God and Demon Cemetery, Chen Changsheng had also assigned experts.
These two experts were none other than Bull Head and Horse Face from the Netherworld.
“Boom!”
The enormous commotion made Bull Head squint his eyes.
“Horse Face, the Old Celestial Master hasn’t made a move in so many years. I don’t believe his body is still in such good shape.”
“But since the master assigned us to guard here, if we do nothing, wouldn’t that go against his expectations?”
Hearing this, Horse Face glanced at Bull Head and replied nonchalantly, “If there’s nothing to do, just enjoy it quietly. You know who’s being killed in the God and Demon Cemetery.”
“If most of these people d*e at our hands, we might not have a good life ahead.”
Upon hearing this, Bull Head’s eyes widened. “Horse Face, are you saying that this cleanup hasn’t been completed?”
“I didn’t say that, but the Eight Desolates and Nine Domains are this vast; everyone is interconnected.”
“If someone kills your friend, even if you won’t become enemies, you certainly won’t smile at them, right?”
“The master gathered everyone in the God and Demon Cemetery to isolate them from the outside world.”
“This also prevents today’s execution from encountering some opposition.”
As he spoke, Horse Face lowered his voice and looked around. “Also, have you noticed that among the traitors this time, most of them are from the Nine Domains?”
“All the executors in the God and Demon Cemetery are from the Eight Desolates.”
“Don’t you think such an arrangement is a bit too coincidental?”
“Horse Face, what do you mean by that?”
“Literal meaning,” Horse Face snorted and said, “This time, when issues arose in the Sword Qi Great Wall, the Eight Desolates and Nine Domains worked together.”
“But put another way, they are in cahoots.”
“Not a single high-ranking official is willing to see such unity among those below him.”
“The problems in the Sword Qi Great Wall have persisted for so long; I don’t believe there isn’t a single person from the Eight Desolates or Nine Domains who knows.”
“Since they know, why didn’t they reveal it sooner or stop it earlier?”
“The most fundamental reason is that the Eight Desolates and Nine Domains are too united, leading some people to reminisce and turn a blind eye.”
After hearing this, Bull Head also became serious. “So what should we do?”
“Of course, we must resolutely carry out the master’s orders.”
“We are here to serve the master. Since we are taking on the role of beasts, we will go wherever the master points.”
“Any unnecessary thoughts should not exist.”
“Besides, don’t forget we are here to atone for our sins. Whether we can turn things around depends on this opportunity.”
“If you mess things up with your daydreaming, then don’t blame me for being merciless.”
Facing Horse Face’s warning, Bull Head immediately patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry, Brother Horse. I, Old Bull, have always been reliable in my work.”
…
Outside the God and Demon Cemetery.
“Your Majesty, we are willing to stake our lives for General Shen!”
Dozens of people knelt before Kong Xuan. Seeing these old soldiers who had fought alongside him, Kong Xuan furrowed his brow.
“General Shen colluded with the Savage Wilderness; this matter is backed by undeniable evidence.”
“Are you pleading or threatening?”
In response to Kong Xuan’s words, a man in armor cupped his hands and said, “Your Majesty, General Shen was just momentarily confused. Out of consideration for his past contributions, please spare his life.”
“If Your Majesty truly intends to execute him, then please execute us along with him.”
After speaking, the high-ranking generals knocked their heads heavily before Kong Xuan.
Looking at the crowd, Kong Xuan finally understood why Chen Changsheng had stirred up such a huge fuss about this matter.
A small Savage Wilderness was never a problem; the real issue was within the Heavenly Court. A part of the people in the Heavenly Court had problems with their ideology.
Thinking this, Kong Xuan helplessly waved his hand.
Seeing this motion, the leading man was overjoyed: “Your Majesty, does this mean you agree?”
“Sorry, you all thought too much.”
“My wave means, have the Tiger Cavalry take your heads and use them to sacrifice to the flag.”
As soon as the words fell, over twenty soldiers in bronze armor stepped forward.
Upon seeing the bronze armor, those pleading finally panicked.
“Your Majesty, what do you mean? Don’t tell me you really won’t consider past friendships?”
“You should know the origin of the Tiger Cavalry. You have no chance now.”
Facing Kong Xuan’s words, the leading man immediately grew angry. “If the Heavenly Court refuses to listen, then don’t blame us for being ungrateful!”
“Today, we will revolt against the Heavenly Court and create a new world.”
As he spoke, the man immediately issued a signal.
However, after waiting a long time, there was still no movement from outside.
“Don’t waste your breath. The eighty thousand elite soldiers you brought here have long been dealt with.”
“It’s not just you; everyone related to this matter has been monitored.”
“Over at the Netherworld, Yin Heavenly Sovereign personally stands guard, and the Nangong Clan has been wiped out by your marshal.”
“In the Savage Wilderness, the two matriarchs of the Ye family are leading forces. With them around, the Savage Wilderness should not cause a fuss.”
“As for your families and sects, the leader of the Qingqiu Fox Clan is already leading soldiers over. In fifteen minutes, not a single living being will survive.”
“I will k*ll you!”
Kong Xuan’s words drove the leading man to desperation.
But before he could make a move, the five-colored divine light pinned him to the ground.
“Immortal King Rank Three, that’s quite impressive, but you seem to overestimate yourself.”
“My ability to sit in this position relies not only on wisdom but also on strength.”
“The reason I have never acted is due to my identity; acting recklessly is beneath my dignity.”
“But you should not judge my strength from that perspective.”
“Crack!”
With that, the leading man was crushed into a mist of bl**d by the five-colored divine light.
After finishing, Kong Xuan turned around and said, “Not a single person who pleaded in the great hall will be left alive. Their heads will be placed beneath the battle flag!”
Upon receiving Kong Xuan’s order, over twenty Tiger Cavalry members constantly closed in around them.
In front of the Tiger Cavalry, born for slaughter, these privileged individuals who had lived in comfort for a long time could only be lambs to be slaughtered.
