ON JANUARY 18, 2022 BY MOONCHILDKHZ
The Spirit Spring Sect and its decade of history were reduced to ashes in a fire, the more than 200 disciples dispersing after the death of the sect master and elders.
Perhaps they would join other sects, perhaps they would lead an ordinary life, but Jun Changxiao’s murderous rampage would be recorded in their hearts forever as a nightmare they would never escape.
Somewhere in the mountains.
The green bandana-ed brother knelt before a grave, clenching his fists. “Sect Master, elders, this Disciple will avenge these grievances one day!
Standing up, he saluted, then resolutely headed towards the east.
He was headed for the colossus named the Holy Spring Sect.
“Jun Changxiao!”
The guy’s voice echoed.
“My name is Dai Lü, remember this Young Master clearly!”
This phrase was something he only dared should in an untrodden mountain.
…
“Big news, big news!”
“The Spirit Spring Sect had a fire yesterday, the entire sect was reduced to ashes and all the disciples ran off!”
In Yaoyang City, the day had just begun, but a martial artist was running up and down the street shouting.
This news spread like a prairie fire, burning through the streets large and small, through each household, and past each corner.
The first response to this was: It’s too early in the morning for such a joke!
Then some people went to visit the sect, only to find the ruins of a sect. Even if they didn’t believe it before, how could they not recognize that the abusive power called the Spirit Spring Sect really wasn’t there…
“My god! Who has such courage, daring to burn the Spirit Spring Sect?”
“Sect Master Wei and Elder Wei!”
“I heard from a disciple running away that the sect master and elder were both killed, this sect will be removed from Jianghu!”
“Who did it?”
“I’m afraid you won’t believe me, but it was Ironbone’s sect head!”
“Ironbone Sect? Isn’t that a ninth-grade? How do they have the strength to destroy the Spirit Spring Sect? They must have hired someone!”
“No expert, just him alone!”
“Well shit! A ninth-grade’s sect head is so domineering?”
“Spirit Spring and Ironbone clashed in Qingyang City. I thought that it would be the Ironbone Sect to disappear, didn’t expect that the ones to be exterminated would be the Spirit Spring Sect!”
“Behind the Spirit Spring is the Holy Spring! If they know about this, they will definitely send a punitive expedition to the Ironbone Sect!”
“Forget the Holy Spring Sect, the Hundred Sects Alliance won’t forgive the Ironbone Sect either! After all, there’s a rule about sects exterminating each other!”
Yaoyang City was vibrating with energy.
No matter the person, they were all discussing the Spirit Spring Sect and the Ironbone Sect’s sect head.
…
The news travelled to the other cities quite quickly.
The Long Sabre Sect, Tiger Roar Sect, and others received reports about the extermination of the Spirit Spring Sect one after another.
They were also in an uproar.
What type of joke was this?
The Spirit Spring Sect had been destroyed by the Ironbone Sect?
Then more and more reports arrived, carrying more details, forcing them to accept this as fact!
Qingyang City, city lord’s mansion.
City Lord Xie also learned the news, standing in the study room with his hands behind his back. “He first led the disciples to win the championship, then exterminated the Spirit Spring Sect. Sect Head Jun, you really are a person who can do great things.”
“But…”
He shook his head. “Although the Holy Spring Sect does not recognize the Spirit Spring Sect, the four Wei brothers were once their disciples. Killing them is equal to provoking that fifth-grade sect.”
“Reporting.” A guard walked in. “The chief of the Hundred Sects Alliance is visiting.”
“Ah,” said City Lord Xie. “They came quickly.”

He rubbed his temples.
“Bring him to the reception room.”
“Yes.”
…
Reception room.
An imposing middle-aged man entered, humbly saying, “City Lord Xie, it has been many years since we last met.”
City Lord Xie waved a hand for him to sit down. “Alliance Chief Qin, are you here because of the Ironbone Sect?”
“Correct,” Alliance Chief Qin huffed. “The Ironbone Sect is a member of the Hundred Sects Alliance, it is absolutely unreasonable for them to exterminate another sect. This Qin is here today, hoping City Lord can…”
City Lord Xie interrupted, “Although the Ironbone Sect is a member of the Hundred Sects Alliance, it is a part of Qingyang City. This City Lord does not care which power you represent or which side you are on, you cannot make a move. Otherwise, you will be an enemy of the 3.6 million people of Qingyang City.”
Alliance Chief Qin’s expression sank. “City Lord Xie, are you protecting the Ironbone Sect?”
City Lord Xie’s finger gently tapped the table. “Do not misunderstand. This Xie is not protecting the Ironbone Sect, but the people of Qingyang City.”
“Okay!” Alliance Chief Qin then asked, “If that is the case, then let’s defer to Qingyang City’s judgement. Your citizen, Jun Changxiao, killed the Wei Clan brothers and more than 30 disciples, what is their ruling according to law?”
“Not guilty,” City Lord Xie said.
Pah!
Alliance Chief Qin pounded the table, angrily saying, “City Lord Xie, you do not let my Hundred Sects Alliance act, but will not punish Jun Changxiao yourself. Your bias is too obvious!”
Pah!
City Lord Xie also pounded the table with a fist, shouting, “The Spirit Spring Sect hired assassins from the Drizzle Pavilion, who arbitrarily entered Qingyang City. I want to ask, who fucking gave them the courage?”
How arrogant, how domineering!
“Drizzle Pavilion assassins?” Alliance Chief Qin was ignorant of that event, as that was something the Spirit Spring Sect would never let anyone know about.
City Lord Xie was cold as he said, “There should only have been small things between the Spirit Spring Sect and the Ironbone Sect. Wei Yixi bore a grudge, first bribing the bandits, then hiring assassins, performing despicable methods despised by the people of Jianghu. Extermination was something he brought on himself.”
“…”
Alliance Chief Qin was silent.
He knew that since Xie Guangkun said so, he certainly had evidence.
“Alliance Chief Qin,” City Lord Xie lightly said. “If Jun Changxiao did some heartless matter, this City Lord would have acted before you paid me a visit.”
Alliance Chief Qin calmed down and his voice became more moderate. “How about this, could City Lord Xie summon Jun Changxiao? This Qin will chat with him using my status as alliance chief.”
Xie Guangkun said, “Since the Ironbone Sect is part of your alliance, you can naturally talk with him as alliance chief. Let’s set it in Star Moon Pavillion.”
Alliance Chief Qin understood that this fellow was scared that he would act irrationally and so intentionally set the location within Qinyang City. Therefore, he compromised. “Notify Sect Head Jun that I will meet him in Star Moon Pavilion in three days.”
With that, he cupped his hands. “Goodbye.”
“I won’t be seeing you out!” Xie Guangkun called after him.
After Alliance Chief Qin walked out, Xie Guangkun sat down and drank some tea, shaking his head, “Sect Head Jun, this City Lord almost angered the Hundred Sects Alliance for you.”
“City Lord Xie should not say such things.” Jun Changxiao walked out from behind a screen, saying with a smile, “We are cooperating, so this is a win-win.”
Saying that, he placed two basic Healing Pills on the table.
It turns out that this guy had been in the room the entire time.
The matter of exterminating the sect, as well as Wei Yixi’s actions, he had already told Xie Guangkun.
Jun Changxiao calculated that the Hundred Sects Alliance would send someone over, so he made some countermeasures ahead of time. He directly brought out two Healing Pills as a bribe, quickly recruiting City Lord Xie to his side.
Exterminating a sect was a huge matter.
Jun Changxiao knew the importance of damage control. Otherwise, he would have trouble surviving on Falling Star Continent.
Xie Guangkun pinched one of the pills. “Sect Head Jun, this medicinal pill is really able to rapidly restore health?”
Jun Changxiao responded, “Does this Jun need to deceive City Lord Xie?”
Xie Guangkun glanced at him, then laughed. “You aren’t wrong, this is cooperation, a win-win.”
Jun Changxiao stood up. “There are still matters within the sect, this Lord will say goodbye first.”
“Do not forget about three days later, Star Moon Pavilion,” Xie Guangkun said.
“This Lord will go to the appointment on time.” As he said so, Jun Changxiao had already walked out of the hall and left the mansion.
Xie Guangkun picked up the pill and smelled it, muttering, “Exterminating the Spirit Spring Sect and then asking me for help to alleviate the backlash, this boy is not simple.”
