In less than an hour, the entire Aqua Cloud Sect had turned into a river of blood. All the disciples had been killed!
Meanwhile, the Huangchuan Tribe barely suffered any casualties.
Hopu stood in the pool of blood, his heart filled with excitement. It wasn't the first time that the Aqua Cloud Sect had brushed him off. He had also thought about destroying the Aqua Cloud Sect, but he couldn't do that easily. Otherwise, the Huangchuan Tribe would become a thorn in the side of the Spirit Cultivator Sect!
Forget about trying to rope them in, they might even become enemies!
So, after a while of excitement, Hopu frowned. "Mr. Liu, destroying the Aqua Cloud Sect is easy, but what should we do after that? We'll definitely become the target of public criticism.
Who knows, the Discipline Commission might even come looking for us! "
"Don't worry, Chief Hopu."
Leng Shiqi, however, shook his head indifferently. "You just need to get someone to spread word of what happened today, and let everyone know that you had a good reason to attack, and that the Aqua Cloud Sect reaped what they sowed.
That way, even if they're unwilling, they won't have a reason to cause trouble for the Huangchuan Tribe.
Besides, the Aqua Cloud Sect has already been destroyed. Even if they come to seek justice, what can they gain apart from provoking the Huangchuan Tribe?
Only fools would do something that doesn't benefit them and will offend others. So, Chief Hopu, don't worry. "
Hopu thought about it and felt that it made sense. Since it was already done, it was too late to regret it now. He immediately had his subordinates plunder the Aqua Cloud Sect's resources and bring them back to the tribe.
There were many large and small factions in Tranquil Sun County, and they often had conflicts over resources. However, the Thunderblaze Dynasty had many experts in every city, and there was even a combat army stationed here, eyeing them covetously.
Coupled with the deterrence of the Discipline Commission, Tranquil Sun County seemed relatively peaceful.
So, the destruction of the Aqua Cloud Sect today was a major event that shocked Tranquil Sun County. All the factions were discussing it behind their backs.
In Dark Thunder Manor, Li Zhangtao naturally found out about this very quickly. He said sarcastically, "The Aqua Cloud Sect was only perfunctorily dealt with the Huangchuan Tribe a few times before being destroyed. This Hopu is too overbearing."
"Lord Li, I've also heard of Hopu. He's known far and wide for his fiery temper. I think the Watercloud Sect has really pissed him off this time."
"But there hasn't been a massacre in Ningyang County for several years. Should we investigate it?"
Li Zhangtao sneered, "What's there to investigate?
In any case, the Barren River Tribe gives us a lot of offerings every year, and besides, this matter should be handled by the Discipline Commission. It has nothing to do with us.
By the way, how is Liu Xingzhi doing recently? Where is he now? "
As soon as he said this, the people below all laughed dryly. How could Li Zhangtao not know their morals? He frowned and asked, "What happened?"
"Sir, that Liu Xing Zhi has gone missing!" One of them mustered up his courage and said.
"Pa!" Li Zhangtao suddenly slammed the table and said angrily, "What? Missing?
How can you lose track of such a big person?! "
"Well, I have my own difficulties. Liu Xingzhi and the other two are in the Gang Spirit Realm, and the other is in the late stage of the Spiritual Aperture Realm. They are so fast. How can my men keep up with them?"
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
Li Zhangtao was also angry. These men might have been idle for too long. It was time to teach them a lesson.
"Go, mobilize all the men of the Dark Thunder Mansion in Ningyang County. Spread the net and find Liu Xingzhi for me!
If I still don't know where he is in two days, humph! "At the end of his words, there was a fierce look in his eyes, which made those men tremble in their hearts.
This time, Li Zhangtao was really angry. They immediately took the order and went to do it.
Li Zhangtao suddenly let out a deep sigh. Right now, even he felt that the Anshe Dark Lightning Guards under his command were rotten to the point of rotting.
Leng Shiqi's sudden appearance and disappearance were completely out of his control, which made him feel uneasy deep in his heart.
Now, Leng Shiqi and Hopu had returned to the Barren River Tribe. They brought back a lot of resources, which made the disciples of the tribe very happy.
Leng Shiqi, the mysterious man, also won some trust and status.
At this moment, Hopu and the other three leaders were discussing with Leng Shiqi in the tent. "Mr. Liu, what should we do next?"
Leng Shiqi shook his head secretly. No wonder Hopu had worked so hard for so long without any substantial results. It turned out that there was no one in the Barren River Tribe who could come up with a plan, including Hopu.
Perhaps this was the price of the super fighting strength of these tribes. He said, "The next step is very simple. We just need to repeat the method to deal with the Water Cloud Sect.
Send someone to inform the Chen Family in Scorching Sun City and ask them to send people to deal with the Sword Sect of the Fallen Maple. "
Hopu finally understood. This was really a vicious plot. If the Chen Family helped, they would offend the Fallen Maple Sword Sect. If they didn't, then the Chen Family would suffer the same fate as the Water Cloud Sect today!
"Okay, I'll send someone to Blazing Sun City right away!" Hopu immediately went to make the arrangements, but Leng Shiqi stopped him again.
Leng Shiqi said, "This time, we'll catch the Chen Family off guard!"
When the news of the Barren River Tribe reached the Chen Family of Blazing Sun City, the higher-ups of the Chen Family were all worried. They knew very well how the Water Cloud Sect was destroyed.
Now, the Huangchuan Tribe was using the same excuse to blame the Chen Family.
The key was how should they reply to Hopu now?
If they really helped the Barren River Tribe, then they would become enemies with the Fallen Maple Sword Sect. However, if they didn't agree, the blood of the Water Cloud Sect was still flowing. They didn't want to become the second Water Cloud Sect!
The patriarch of the Chen Family, Chen Chuling, sighed and said, "Everyone, let's think of something."
The elders immediately began to speak one after another. "I think it's better to give in. Even if we completely offend the Fallen Maple Sword Sect, it's still better than being wiped out."
"Hmph, if we give in this time, it'll be equivalent to surrendering to the Barren River Tribe. How can the Chen Family raise our heads in front of others in the future?"
"That's right, Patriarch. I'm not willing to surrender to those barbarians either."
"Why don't we send a few people to deal with them?"
"You're too naive. The Water Cloud Sect had the same plan back then. In the end, the Water Cloud Sect no longer exists in this world."
"If there's no other way, we'll surrender to other forces and ask for protection."
"Or we can ask the Discipline Commission to mediate."
However, just as they were arguing endlessly and hadn't come up with a solution, a loud noise came from outside the Chen Family. A rough voice resounded through the sky. "Chen Chuling, come out and accept your death!"
The expressions of the Chen Family members changed drastically. They had just received the message. Why was Hopu here already?
However, when they arrived at the gate of the Chen Family, they were all stunned. Hopu wasn't the only one who came. There were also thousands of elite warriors of the Barren River Tribe!
