#113 - Chapter 113: The Secret of the Stone House

"Not enough?" Hearing Lin Changqing's words, Sheng Yunzi was stunned. He had already killed Wang Huofei, wasn't that enough?

Was the senior still not satisfied?

Thinking of this, Sheng Yunzi swallowed hard. He gritted his teeth again, his heart hardening as he turned to look at the several disciples of the Holy Fire Sect behind him.

He decided to kill a few more people. His heart was bleeding, as these were all his direct subordinates! But there was no choice. Since Wang Huofei's death had not satisfied this great figure, then he would kill some more people to quell this senior's anger.

"You dogs, you dared to speak disrespectfully and mock me earlier. You truly have eyes but cannot see Mount Tai. You deserve to die! I will kill you to apologize to this senior!" Saying this, Sheng Yunzi drew his blade and killed several more Holy Fire Sect disciples. Then, he turned to look at Lin Changqing, thinking that this time it should be enough.

But unexpectedly, Lin Changqing shook his head again: "Not enough."

After saying "not enough," Lin Changqing looked even more coldly at Sheng Yunzi: "I want your life. Commit suicide."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked!

What domineering words, to tell Sheng Yunzi to commit suicide.

Normally, if anyone in Holy Fire County dared to say such a thing, they would definitely be mocked. After all, he was the direct son of the Holy Fire Sect's master, with a noble status, and a big figure in Holy Fire County who could have his way. Who would dare to tell him to commit suicide?

But now, no one dared to mock, because the one who said these words was that invincible great figure from Qingzhou!

Everyone knew that he was qualified to say so!

"Senior, you want me to commit suicide?" Sheng Yunzi stammered, suspecting that he had misheard.

He felt very wronged. Among all those people just now, he was clearly the most perceptive. He was the first to recognize the senior, and he didn't say anything mocking or derisive.

Why would the senior want him to commit suicide?

"Senior, I was the first to recognize you just now," Sheng Yunzi said quickly. "I haven't made any mistakes. I have always been respectful to you."

Lin Changqing didn't reply this time, nor did he look at him. He walked straight to the other side, where the injured loose cultivators and the yellow-skirted girl were.

"Are you loose cultivators from Huayang Valley?" Lin Changqing asked.

"Yes, Senior," the group of loose cultivators said excitedly as they saw Lin Changqing approaching. The yellow-skirted girl nodded repeatedly in excitement!

"This person says he hasn't made any mistakes," Lin Changqing said, pointing to Sheng Yunzi behind him. Then, he looked at the yellow-skirted girl and the others and said, "Do you think he has made any mistakes?"

"Of course he has, Senior!" The yellow-skirted girl nodded fiercely. She looked at Sheng Yunzi with hatred and then said, "Senior, please see clearly. This Sheng Yunzi usually does all sorts of evil in Holy Fire County. Relying on having a sect master for a father, he often bullies men and lords it over women. During the war between the righteous and demonic paths, he enjoyed himself in the sect while we fought the demonic path on the front lines. Now, thanks to you, our righteous path has won. But unexpectedly, the Holy Fire Sect coveted the demonic path's territory near Huayang Valley. Sheng Yunzi personally led a team to attack and kill the loose cultivators of our Huayang Valley. My father was even seriously injured by them!"

"Moreover, Senior, you don't know, just before you arrived, this person said he wanted to kill us all. He even pretended to be your disciple. This kind of evil person pretending to be your disciple is really tarnishing your reputation!" the yellow-skirted girl said excitedly.

Damn it, this woman is complaining!

Hearing Huang Ling'er tell Lin Changqing these things, Sheng Yunzi's forehead dripped with cold sweat again.

He glanced at Lin Changqing's cold face, suppressed the fear in his heart, pointed at Huang Ling'er, and scolded: "Senior, don't listen to this woman's nonsense. Can you believe the words of these mud-legged loose cultivators?"

"Senior, you defeated the Autumn Moon Demoness and led our righteous path to victory. It is such a blessing for our Qingzhou! My admiration for you is like a滔滔 endless river. I said I was your disciple! It was my vanity, definitely not disrespect to you."

Sheng Yunzi spoke more and more passionately, more and more excitedly, as if he really admired Lin Changqing. It seemed that he was saying that his pretending to be a disciple just now was really just a little bit of his vanity.

Afterwards, Sheng Yunzi pointed at Huang Ling'er again and said loudly: "Senior, as for this person saying that I do all sorts of evil, it is even more full of lies. Moreover, the reason why I led a team to kill these loose cultivators from Huayang Valley was also for your sake!"

"For my sake?"

"Yes!" Sheng Yunzi nodded fiercely. "Senior, this is all my father's way of expressing his respect to you. At the moment of your victory, my father made a decision, deciding to offer you 90% of the cultivation resources in Holy Fire County every year. And the demonic path's territory near Huayang Valley is the most important thing, occupying 20% of the entire Holy Fire County's cultivation resources. Of course, this kind of important place cannot be occupied by these loose cultivators. My Holy Fire Sect killed the loose cultivators of Huayang Valley in order to seize this territory, so as to give it to you as tribute!"

Of course, Sheng Yunzi was talking nonsense. What 80% tribute? The Holy Fire Sect was certainly not that generous, but now, in order to save his life.

Of course, Sheng Yunzi had to say everything in a good light!

"Give me 80% tribute?" Lin Changqing sneered twice. "Let alone whether your Holy Fire Sect is so kind as to give me tribute? Even if you do, what is your Holy Fire Sect? Is it your turn to give me tribute?"

"I'm telling you, I want all ten parts of the territory and cultivation resources left by the demonic path! If your Holy Fire Sect dares to interfere, you have already chosen the path to death. Die!"

Saying this, Lin Changqing swung his blade coldly. This blade transformed into a Heavenly Wolf phantom with a murderous aura, roaring as it pounced towards Sheng Yunzi.

Sheng Yunzi was terrified. He never expected that the senior would attack him. He wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn't speak, because Lin Changqing's blade had already locked onto his essence, qi, and spirit!

Pfft!

The blade and the Heavenly Wolf phantom merged into one, slashing towards Sheng Yunzi's half of his shoulder. With a pfft, Sheng Yunzi fell to the ground, screaming miserably. He was directly cut off half his shoulder by Lin Changqing's blade!

"Ah, ah, ah, ah." Sheng Yunzi was covered in blood. His face was filled with terror. "Senior, don't kill me, spare my life. My father is the master of the Holy Fire Sect, the number one sect in Holy Fire County. If you kill me, you won't be able to get the support of our Holy Fire Sect."

"Senior, I am your man! My father is also preparing to join hands with some late-stage Core Formation cultivators tomorrow to send you a banquet of congratulatory gifts. Why bother getting angry because I killed some mud-legged loose cultivators? We are on the same side!"

Sheng Yunzi begged for mercy. He really couldn't understand why Lin Changqing attacked him.

According to what his father told him, the most important things in this world are strength and benefits.

His father once said very proudly that even though the righteous and demonic paths were at war, their Holy Fire Sect was being scolded for not contributing enough.

But this was the most correct choice. They didn't fight the demonic path without being sure of survival, and their strength was preserved.

Those other silly righteous path cultivators who rushed up to fight the demonic path suffered heavy losses instead.

In this way, after the war was won, his Holy Fire Sect would become popular because its strength was preserved. Because they had strength, they wouldn't be afraid that others wouldn't win them over.

Sheng Yunzi remembered his father saying that throughout the ages, rulers have always won over local snakes like them, because they have strength, and the rulers need to rely on them to rule Holy Fire County.

Therefore, Sheng Yunzi really didn't understand why Lin Changqing attacked him.

Wasn't he just killing some loose cultivators?

Could these lowly loose cultivators compare to him and the Holy Fire Sect?

If he didn't kill him, Lin Changqing could get the full support of the Holy Fire Sect. If he killed him, he would definitely offend the Holy Fire Sect.

"What is the Holy Fire Sect? Ridiculous. What is the use of your support?" Lin Changqing said coldly. Then, he swung his blade again, and Sheng Yunzi was directly killed by him!

In general, Sheng Yunzi's idea was not wrong. Their Holy Fire Sect was the local snake of Holy Fire County.

Generally speaking, if you want to rule Qingzhou, you really need to win them over, but they forgot a premise.

That is Lin Changqing!

Lin Changqing doesn't need to win anyone over.

Because he has the strength to dominate Qingzhou for eternity alone.

Lin Changqing's personal strength can suppress Qingzhou alone!

So at this time, discussing what to win over and support is already ridiculous.

[After killing Sheng Yunzi, you also wiped out the Holy Fire Sect cultivators present. Then, you got a message by asking the yellow-skirted girl that the surrendered Demonic Path Supreme Elder was in the Holy Fire Sect.]

[Without hesitation, you immediately went to the Holy Fire Sect.]

[Five minutes later, you arrived at the Holy Fire Sect, and then spent two quarters of an hour wiping out all the high-level members of the Holy Fire Sect.]

[Afterwards, you went to the Holy Fire Sect's dungeon, found the Demonic Path Supreme Elder, and began to ask him about the stone house.]

"I'm asking you, what's the matter with your Sky Demon Sect's stone house?"

"The stone house? I do know some relevant information, but..."
