Chapter 313: Chapter 230: Divine Soul Illusion Technique, Grand Event – Part 2
 

“He personally killed his elder brother and sister-in-law because of his own lascivious heart,” Lu Qing said lightly.

…

The elder doctor fell silent.

“Anyone from the Flowing Cloud Sect who could murder their own elder brother and sister-in-law must be part of a nest of rats, with not a single good person!” Wei Zian cursed indignantly.

Ma Gu felt equally angry in his heart.

However, he was also shocked.

Lu Qing’s skills had truly become more formidable, as he could silently trap a strong martial artist, who had achieved Great Success in the Internal Realm, in an illusion causing him to commit suicide. Such a technique was simply unheard of.

After this encounter, Lu Qing and his companions felt more at ease.

At least they knew the people from the Flowing Cloud Sect hadn’t bypassed them to head for Qingfeng Town.

Now, as long as they headed straight for the territory of the Flowing Cloud Sect, Qingfeng Town should have no more trouble.

The carriage traveled unhurriedly, and Lu Qing pondered over his Corpse Destruction Technique.

Finally, when he had some leads, the carriage came to a stop.

“Old doctor, we have traveled long today, and the horses are tired; there is a tea shed ahead, why don’t we rest there?” Ma Gu suggested.

“Sounds good,” the elder doctor nodded.

Upon receiving approval, Ma Gu drove the carriage closer to the front.

Lu Qing pulled back the curtain to see a grass shed ahead, with a crude cloth bearing the big character “Tea” fluttering in the wind.

“Hey! Sir, would you like some tea?”

Seeing the carriage slow down, a young server in ragged clothes, with a sweat towel draped over his shoulders and a humble smile on his face, came forward and greeted respectfully.

“Yes, we are tired from traveling and would like some tea for a rest. Do you have any fodder?” Ma Gu asked.

“Yes, yes, there’s some excellent fodder behind the shed!” the young server replied hastily.

“Then get two bundles and fill up our horses; you won’t be short of money.”

“Right away! Please come in, sirs!”

The young server came forward to help lead the horses.

Lu Qing and the others then stepped into the tea shed.

An old man with a smile on his face came out from inside: “Honored guests, please come this way and have a seat.”

Once Lu Qing and his companions were seated, the old man asked, “May I know what our honored guests would like to drink?”

“No need for anything fancy, just bring two pots of tea and some of the food you have here,” the elder doctor responded.

“Alright, coming right up, please wait a moment.”

After the old man went away, Lu Qing began to look around the tea shed.

The tea shed was quite spacious. On the other side of the tea shed, there were already a few tables of guests, who also appeared to be no ordinary people.

Lu Qing wasn’t surprised and took a brief look at the weapons they carried, but didn’t pay much attention.

These days, those who could travel outside were generally no ordinary people.

Most were either martial artists who knew how to defend themselves or wealthy families who could afford bodyguards.

After all, ‘the poor stay at home, the rich travel abroad,’ and truly poor people usually would not travel lightly.

The people at the other tables briefly observed Lu Qing and his party and then paid them no mind.

Being able to travel by carriage often indicated they were also not ordinary families. It was better to mind their own business as long as no one acted out of line, and people generally didn’t provoke each other.

Soon, the proprietor brought over two pots of tea and some simple food—plain tea, plain steamed buns, and small dishes.

Though simple, considering the remoteness of the location, it was quite good.

Lu Qing checked the food and seeing no issues, he began to eat a steamed bun first.

“This time, the Flowing Cloud Sect has really lost face; it’s said that even the junior Sect Master was slaughtered, and the key thing is, they don’t even know by whom!”

While Lu Qing and his companions were quietly eating, the conversation of a few martial artists at a table opposite caught their attention.

“It can’t be possible, can it? The Flowing Cloud Sect is one of the three major sects in Yunzhou, who would dare to provoke them?” someone exclaimed in disbelief.

“How could it not be possible? This is what a nephew of mine who joined the Sky Flame Sect said. He also mentioned that this matter has almost spread throughout Yunzhou; it can’t be wrong!” the man asserted confidently.

“So Brother Wang actually has such connections! The Sky Flame Sect is only second to the three major sects. It seems that Brother Wang’s nephew is truly a talented youth!”

Upon hearing this, his companions immediately started flattering him.

“It’s nothing, he just got lucky and managed to join the Sky Flame Sect by chance.”

Brother Wang responded modestly, but he couldn’t suppress the smile on his face.

Others were shocked, “So, is this true then? Who would be so bold and reckless as to kill the young sect master of the Flowing Cloud Sect? Are they not afraid of death?”

“Indeed, I’ve heard that the young sect master is the son of the sect master, and the Flowing Cloud Sect is especially overbearing and protective. With their temperament, wouldn’t this drive them mad?”

“Who the murderer is, we still don’t know. But in recent days, the Flowing Cloud Sect really has gone mad, almost turning Yunzhou upside down.

It’s said that they suspect someone from another sect assassinated their young sect master,

and recently, many powerful forces and sects have been interrogated by the Flowing Cloud Sect, demanding they provide clues.

Those who couldn’t provide any were either punished or, in severe cases, accused of conspiring to kill the young sect master and thoroughly plundered. They’ve gone completely mad!”

“Isn’t this just taking advantage of the situation? Their young sect master died, and instead of looking for the real murderer, they are looting other sects under this pretext. This is too unreasonable and overbearing!” someone said, wide-eyed.

“This dictatorship of the Flowing Cloud Sect is not something new. Usually, they like to coerce the neighboring sects into paying tribute. Now with an excuse, they must be planning to loot quite fiercely.”

“Being so tyrannical and greedy, no wonder their young sect master died. I now slightly believe it might indeed be another sect, long resentful and unwilling to continue being oppressed, that secretly killed the young sect master!” someone whispered.

“No matter whether it’s true or not, the Flowing Cloud Sect seems to really believe so and are brazenly searching everywhere for the murderer.

But, after all, Yunzhou is not under the sole control of the Flowing Cloud Sect. Just the day before yesterday, they bit off more than they could chew.”

The man referred to as Brother Wang said.

“They bit off more than they could chew, you say?”

Several companions immediately had gossip-hungry expressions on their faces.

“It’s said that an elder from the Flowing Cloud Sect, leading his disciples to loot a small sect, was stopped by several passing young heroes.

A conflict arose, and the elder, relying on his high cultivation, killed two of the young heroes.

Unexpectedly, one of these young men was a disciple of the Silver Moon Sect and one of the direct disciples of the Silver Moon Sect Master.”

“Silver Moon Sect!”

The others immediately gasped.

The Silver Moon Sect is one among the strongest of the three major sects in Yunzhou, and its foundation is not much weaker than that of the Flowing Cloud Sect.

“Yes, the Silver Moon Sect!” the man known as Brother Wang said, “With a direct disciple being killed innocently, the Silver Moon Sect Master naturally would not let this go.

Moreover, the recent crazed actions of the Flowing Cloud Sect have also incited public outrage in Yunzhou. Thus, he simply sent out invitations widely, intending to unite many sects of Yunzhou to confront the Flowing Cloud Sect together!”

“This is explosive news!”

Upon hearing this, his companions grew excited.

“So, Brother Wang, do you know when the Silver Moon Sect and the other major sects will go to confront the Flowing Cloud Sect?”

“According to my nephew, it will be in three days!” the man called Brother Wang said.

“Three days from now? No wonder yesterday, I saw many martial artists hurrying on the road, some with very strong presences, which even startled Old Wu here. I was puzzled as to why suddenly so many powerful martial artists were moving about—it turns out they were going to this grand event!”

“Such significant news, only us loose cultivators without a sect would learn about it this late.”

“So, Brother Wang, you’re traveling because you’re also headed to this grand gathering?”

“Of course, with the Silver Moon Sect leading and nearly eighty percent of Yunzhou’s sects joining to confront the Flowing Cloud Sect, how could I miss such a spectacle?”

“We shouldn’t miss this grand occasion either, Brother Wang. Since we are fated to meet, why not travel together?”

“Sounds good…”

Seeing the martial artists at the opposite table starting to bond, seemingly tempted to swear brotherhood on the spot,

Lu Qing and his companions, who had been listening all along, also turned away their gaze and exchanged looks.
