Martial Hero Rebirth

Chapter 82: Shocking the Demonic Cults

"Senior Brother Lin Yi, youyou actually killed him?"

Lin Yi's companions stuttered in shock, and they were filled with fear and anxiety.

They were in deep trouble now that a Shaolin disciple had been killed by Lin Yi, and they stared dumbly at Monk Jueyuan's corpse.

Lin Yi asked in response: "Then what should we have done? Let Monk Jueyuan go?"

Yiqian nodded her head like it was the natural thing to do. "Of course we should have let him go, we can't kill a disciple of Shaolin!"

"After we let him go, what next?" Lin Yi continued pressing for more answers.

"After that" Yiqian was unable to answer, and the other three were speechless as well.

All they thought of was to avoid trouble, and they had never thought of the consequences of letting Monk Jueyuan go.

Lin Yi answered the question for them. "After we let him go, he will surely harbor resentment towards us and go to all lengths to oppose us. This man is extremely narrow-minded, and he even wanted to kill us just because I embarrassed him before."

"In terms of strength, Monk Jueyuan is not worth mentioning when compared to me. But what about the rest of you? If he tries to kill any of you, will you all be capable of defending yourselves?"

"Besides, what if he attempts a sneak attack?"

"Even if that doesn't happen, if he tries his best to defame us, are you capable of stopping him? The baldies of Shaolin are ranked first under all heavens at slandering others! The four of you aren't even a match for one of him!"

"When that happens, all your reputations will be completed ruined!"

"After that, he will surely not be satisfied yet. He will still employ all sorts of methods and schemes to bring harm to you."

Lin Yi continued listing out all the possible things that would happen, and the four of them began to tremble in fear while breaking out in cold sweat as they listened.

From their understanding of Monk Jueyuan, he was definitely capable of doing what Senior Brother Lin Yi said and even better.

"Therefore, by letting him go, we are leaving behind a great source of trouble! As all of you saw, he even dared to use a Quanzhen disciple as a meat shield to save his own skin. How many other righteous sect disciples will die in a similar fashion if he gets to walk free?"

"Killing Monk Jueyuan is not killing a righteous sect disciple, it is killing a truly evil demon!"

Lin Yi concluded by condemning Monk Jueyuan as no different from a demonic cult disciple and justifying why he had to be killed.

The four of them felt slightly better at hearing these words as they had all been raised in an environment which greatly frowned upon killing people from the righteous faction.

"That's right, Monk Jueyuan is just like a demonic cult disciple, he deserves to be killed!" Yun Taizi was completely convinced by Lin Yi.

Lu Buping and Mo Yu also nodded their heads in agreement, and only Yiqian was still unable to accept it.

Staring at Lin Yi, she was unable to figure out why the kindhearted Senior Brother Lin Yi who even helped ordinary people in Lanzhou City would suddenly become so ruthless and coldblooded.

She realized that she was unable to understand Senior Brother Lin Yi at all.

The other three looked at Monk Jueyuan's corpse in worry.

Although he deserved death, killing him was indeed going to invite great trouble!

If they made any mistakes at handling the matter, they would all be hunted down by Shaolin.

"Senior Brother Lin Yi, howthishow do we deal with Monk Jueyuan's corpse?" They finally asked cautiously.

With one look at the corpse, Lin Yi stated coldly: "Feed it to the wolves!"

"The wolves?" The three of them stared with wide eyes.

"Why? You don't even know how to feed it to the wolves?" Lin Yi raised his brows and said calmly: "All of you are intimidated by the reputation of Shaolin! Hmph, there's only five of us here, who else saw us kill Monk Jueyuan?"

"This Monk Jueyuan was obviously being chased by Old Demon Xu before he met us, we just need to say that he was killed by Old Demon Xu."

"When all of you return, if anyone asks about it, just tell them that Monk Jueyuan was killed by Old Demon Xu and that we killed Old Demon Xu when we encountered him, thus taking revenge for Monk Jueyuan and the several hundreds of righteous disciples killed by Old Demon Xu!"

The three of them gulped down their saliva at hearing his words.

Wow.

Senior Brother Lin Yi is truly good.

With just a twist of the facts, Lin Yi had turned from being the murderer of Monk Jueyuan into the great hero who cut down Old Demon Xu to take revenge for Monk Jueyuan and the rest!

But, they liked this explanation!

"Alright, we'll say just that when we return!"

Glancing at Yiqian, she was still slightly dazed and looked gloomy.

"You all decide what to do!" She said simply and stopped talking.

Her mind was in a turmoil as a lot had happened today. Also, everything that happened was completely overturning her values and perception of the world.

Lin Yi looked at her and shook his head with a smile. What she needed right now was time to slowly accept the truth. The harsh truth.

In Jianghu, things were not always simply black or white.

The villains might not always be bad people.

The righteous might not always be good people.

She needed time to slowly accept these facts.

Suddenly, Lin Yi felt his chest tightening, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood.

His vision blurred, and he was unable to stand steadily.

When he killed Monk Jueyuan, he once again used the supreme power, and it only worsened his condition.

Seeing that all his companions were also heavily injured, if any more enemies came at this time, they would all be easily finished off by ordinary third-rate experts.

After ordering Lu Buping and the other two to deal with Monk Jueyuan's corpse, he started returning to Lanzhou City with the four of them.

Saddled with injuries, they slowly limped back.

Their progress was very slow, but they steadily inched towards Lanzhou City.

Ao Wufa looked at the forces led by Wudang, Emei, and Qingcheng, and he frowned.

Although he was able to achieve a complete victory over the force led by Shaolin, the righteous sect disciples who managed to escape found the Wudang force very quickly and informed them of Shaolin's defeat.

The Wudang disciples then hurriedly made contact with Emei and Qingcheng and combined their forces.

Gathered in one place, their numbers exceeded ten thousand.

It was a great force to behold, and they were all on guard.

The demonic cult disciples could no longer take them by surprise.

Ao Wufa ordered his men to attack them several times, but they never managed to achieve much.

Half defending and half retreating, the combined forces resembled a porcupine, leaving no place for the demonic cult disciples to strike at. In the end, the demonic cult disciples suffered numerous casualties.

Ao Wufa also sent out the heavy cavalries a few times, but after learning their lesson from the previous encounter, the righteous sect disciples set up many traps and trenches to deal with the cavalries.

Instead of inflicting any damage, the heavy cavalries suffered quite a bit of damage themselves.

Ao Wufa could only hastily order their retreat as these precious heavy cavalries borrowed from Ming Cult had been temporarily placed under his command because he was the brother of Ao Tianjiao.

If they suffered great damage, not only would Ming Cult not let him off, even his own brother Ao Tianjiao would not let him off so easily.

Thinking of this, Ao Wufa had a headache.

There were too many things that he had no control over.

Although he achieved victory over the Shaolin force, he achieved nothing when faced against Wudang, Emei, and Qingcheng.

"Where's Elder Xu? It has been nearly two days since he went hunting down the major sect disciples, why isn't he back yet?!"

Whenever he had a headache, he was reminded of Old Demon Xu.

The only one who could turn around the situation now was this second-rate expert, but he was nowhere to be seen.

"My lord, there is still no news of Elder Xu." Ao Wufa's subordinate beside him quickly replied when they saw his anger rising.

"Still no news, what the heck is Elder Xu doing?" Ao Wufa frowned.

Suddenly, a commotion was raised.

His subordinate quickly went to check it out.

Soon, he returned with a nervous expression and said: "My lord, there's news of Elder Xu!"

"Then why aren't you telling him to get here?" Ao Wufa roared in anger.

"Elder Xu" Not knowing how to continue, his subordinate waved his hands.

Several people carried something over.

Seeing the familiar scene, Ao Wufa's heart thumped.

As he looked over, he saw a corpse in two halves, and the face of the corpse was very familiar to him.

It was Old Demon Xu!

"How could it be? Elder Xu is a second-rate expert, how did he get killed?!"

Ao Wufa's face was filled with disbelief.

"Don't tell me that the righteous faction also sent second-rate experts from major sects?"

"Is it Shaolin, Wudang or the Five Mountain Sword Sects?" Ao Wufa quickly asked.

His subordinate shook his head.

"My lord, look at Elder Xu's wounds. They were caused by a sword, and all of them were inflicted by deadly sword moves, just like Blood Raiment Prince's wounds!"

"He was killed by Huashan's Deadly Celestial Sword Lin Yi?" Ao Wufa jumped up in disbelief.

"Isn't this Deadly Celestial Sword a third-rate expert? How did he manage to kill a second-rate expert like Elder Xu?"

"Subordinate does not know, but all these wounds on Elder Xu are indeed caused by Deadly Celestial Sword, and none other!"

Ao Wufa gasped in surprise.
