Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques-Chapter 1166 - 1122: The Beginning of the Slaughter

Chapter 1166: Chapter 1122: The Beginning of the Slaughter

Two other royals of the human race, Xia Yingzhen and Wang Yanyu, also appeared in midair, looking solemnly at Wu Ze and his group.

The jade pendant in Qiu Gongzhi’s sleeve trembled slightly. The patrolling guards discovered that a large number of the Evil Clans and Ice Race from the Rule Integration Realm were approaching; it was indeed a moment of crisis.

Qiu Gongzhi’s gaze fixed on Wu Ze. With the Evil Clans and Ice Race coming to Han Yun City, Qiu Gongzhi had already prepared himself mentally. It was nothing more than a fight to the death, dragging down as many peak Rule Integration Realm members of the Evil Clans and Ice Race as possible.

But for the Wu Meng Clan to suddenly join forces with the Ice Race and Evil Clans—this was something Qiu Gongzhi had not anticipated.

The Wu Meng Clan held a lofty position within the entire Black Stone Domain, indifferent to the life and death of other races within the domain.

“I wonder what brings the general to Han Yun City?” Qiu Gongzhi took a deep breath and bowed to Wu Ze.

...

Wu Ze glanced at Qiu Gongzhi without immediately responding, instead turning to look at Lv Yan beside him, saying, “The human race’s Rule Integration Realm should also be used to confront the Xuan Clan, I hope you understand the balance that must be maintained.”

The Evil Clans presented supposed evidence of collusion between the human race and the Xuan Clan. In the past, the Wu Meng Clan would not have even glanced at it because they never believed the human race would have the audacity to do such a thing.

Could allying with the Xuan Clan be that easy?

The entire Xuan Clan is obstinate, despising betrayal above all else. If the human race truly sought to pledge allegiance, the Xuan Clan would superficially accept, but in turn, during warfare against the Wu Meng Clan, they would send the human race to the front lines.

At that time, the human race would only die faster, leaving none alive.

Moreover, speaking of pledging allegiance, there would need to be connections, not just a flippant oath of loyalty for the Xuan Clan to truly accept.

Who would know if it wasn’t just a feigned allegiance, with many issues involved?

If the human race ever showed such inclinations, the Wu Meng Clan would be immediately informed. The Wu Meng Clan may look down upon all other races in the Black Stone Domain, but their defenses were never lacking.

Even if they did not care much for their own cattle and sheep, they would keep a closer watch—for a loss would still be their own.

Therefore, the evidence from the Evil Clans was, to put it simply, an excuse fabricated for presentation to the Wu Meng Clan, and was also a way of seeking the Wu Meng Clan’s guidance.

The enmity between the Evil Clans and the human race was well-known to the Wu Meng Clan for a long time. To say their feud was unending would be an understatement; it ran much deeper than that between the Wu Meng Clan and the Xuan Clan.

Previously, the Wu Meng Clan directly suppressed any conflicts, forbidding the human race and Evil Clans from confronting each other.

But now, the situation was slightly different, mainly because an Evil Clans member in the Rule Integration Realm had become a servant to Liao Xia, a powerful being in the late stages of the Open Heaven Realm.

A servant’s status is not high, but it is at least an identity, and the Wu Meng Clan is willing to bestow trivial favors upon the Evil Clans.

Does the Wu Meng Clan suffer any loss?

No, because those who have to give their lives are from the human race, and as long as the Evil Clans do not go too far in killing off all of the human race’s Rule Integration Realm, there is no issue at all.

After all, the lives of the races within the Black Stone Domain are just trivial matters in the eyes of the Wu Meng Clan.

“We understand,” said Lv Yan, bowing to Wu Ze, then turned to look at Qiu Gongzhi in the distance, a cold smile on his face.

Lv Yan and Qiu Gongzhi could be considered old adversaries. Moving forward, this old adversary may become a thing of the past.

Qiu Gongzhi, looking at Lv Yan’s smile and listening to Wu Ze’s words from earlier, felt a chill spread from the soles of his feet throughout his body.

“The Evil Clans have gathered evidence, claiming that one of you named Yu Wuheng has colluded with the Xuan Clan. I am here today to take him away for interrogation, and you will have to come with me as well,” said Wu Ze, looking at Qiu Gongzhi with a calm tone of command.

A smirk appeared on the faces of the other peak Rule Integration Realm members of the Evil Clans and Ice Race. If Qiu Gongzhi were taken away from Han Yun City, the human race wouldn’t even have a chance for a final stand.

“General, the Evil Clans and our human race have a feud, and their words cannot be trusted. I implore the general to see clearly!” Qiu Gongzhi hurriedly argued upon hearing Wu Ze’s words.

“The grievances between you belong to your affairs, and the Wu Meng Clan will not interfere.”

Wu Ze raised his hand, blocking Qiu Gongzhi’s words, before continuing:

“But when it involves the Xuan Clan, that is something our Wu Meng Clan cannot tolerate. However, we won’t take just one side’s word for it, which is why today we are only taking you two for interrogation. If you are proven innocent afterwards, you will naturally be released.”

“If you’re innocent, you have nothing to fear from the shadow, so what’s there to be afraid of in an interrogation? Unless, of course, you are indeed guilty!” Lv Yan said in a sinister tone.

“General, once I leave this place, the Evil Clans and Ice Race will undoubtedly…”

“Enough, was I not clear enough with what I just said? Do I need to repeat myself a second time?”

Wu Ze abruptly interrupted Qiu Gongzhi before he could finish speaking.

What the Evil Clans and Ice Race intended to do was very clear to Wu Ze. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made a special point to tell Lv Yan to pay attention to the extent of their actions.

“You can choose to refuse, but think carefully about the consequences!”

Wu Ze’s gaze turned cold as he looked at Qiu Gongzhi.

This was a blatant threat. If the human race dared to resist arrest, within half an hour, there would be no need for the Wu Meng Clan’s armies, as the races within the Black Stone Domain would raze Han Yun City to the ground for them.

Whether it was allowing the Evil Clans and Ice Race to kill a portion of the human race’s Rule Integration Realm, or having the Wu Meng Clan make an example out of them for the other races, Wu Ze laid out all the options before Qiu Gongzhi.

Qiu Gongzhi’s body swayed slightly, his face pale. Xia Yingzhen and Wang Yanyu didn’t speak, only clenching their fists involuntarily. Was this meant to force the human race to its death!

Inside Han Yun City, members of the human race’s Rule Integration Realm flew out one after another, looking bewildered at the scene in front of them, especially Yu Wuheng, who heard of his collusion with the Xuan Clan and went blank.

When had he colluded with the Xuan Clan?

“General, we of the human race have done nothing wrong, and with respect to the Wu Meng Clan’s orders, we have always…”

Qiu Gongzhi’s heart felt aggrieved, but before he could finish speaking, a sword light had already appeared in front of him. Qiu Gongzhi instinctively raised his hand to block in front of him.

“Boom!”

The earth-shattering explosion soared into the sky, and Qiu Gongzhi couldn’t help but stumble backward three steps, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

In a single move, Qiu Gongzhi, who had mastered three secondary rules, was directly injured.

Wu Ze slowly retracted his sword finger. His cultivation wasn’t much higher than Qiu Gongzhi’s, but the Wu Meng Clan’s heritage was not something the humble human race could compare with.

At the same cultivation realm, Wu Ze could fight two Qiu Gongzhis at the same time without much pressure; such was his confidence in his own strength.

“My patience is limited. Bind your cultivation and come with me now, or it won’t be just a minor punishment like before!”

Wu Ze looked at Qiu Gongzhi, then turned his icy gaze to Yu Wuheng among the crowd behind.

Xia Yingzhen and Wang Yanyu turned to look at Qiu Gongzhi, waiting for his decision. Whatever it was, they would follow. If Qiu Gongzhi were taken away, Han Yun City wouldn’t be able to withstand the Ice Race and Evil Clans’ attacks.

But if they chose to resist, Wu Ze could capture Qiu Gongzhi as well.

Whichever choice they made, the human race was trapped on a path to death, with no hope in sight!

But lack of hope didn’t mean the human race lacked courage; even in death, the human race would die standing!

The pleading look on Qiu Gongzhi’s face gradually faded, and the aura around him began to shift.

Wu Ze felt the change in Qiu Gongzhi and his gaze turned icy. The races within the Black Stone Domain really didn’t understand reality and even dared to defy the Wu Meng Clan’s orders!

It seemed the human race had to be annihilated to let the other races in the Black Stone Domain recognize their place and also serve as a warning to the nearby Evil Clans.

Don’t think that being a servant to a late-stage Open Heaven Realm powerhouse makes them worthy of comparing to the Wu Meng Clan.

The Rule Integration Realm’s peak members like Lv Yan felt Qiu Gongzhi’s aura change and their hearts leapt with joy rather than shock. This was the human race severing itself from the entire Black Stone Domain.

Having offended the Wu Meng Clan, no one could save the human race now.

“Three!” Wu Ze snorted coldly, his booming voice echoing throughout Han Yun City.

The residents of Han Yun City woke up from a dream and only then realized that the outside of the city had already changed to this state.

“Why count? Did the city hire Your Excellency as a watchman?”

A voice suddenly came from within Han Yun City, and then, like teleportation, two figures appeared beside Qiu Gongzhi—one was Chen Fei, and the other was Jiang Chengji.

When Lv Yan and other peak Rule Integration Realm members appeared outside Han Yun City, Chen Fei had already sensed it. Just as he left the courtyard, Jiang Chengji descended from the sky and then took Chen Fei to leave Han Yun City first.

This was Qiu Gongzhi’s intention. Chen Fei was somewhat touched in his heart, but how could he leave at such a time?

Before Chen Fei could clarify to Jiang Chengji, the conversation outside had already finished, and Wu Ze began to pressure Qiu Gongzhi and the entire human race. Chen Fei simply grabbed Jiang Chengji’s arm and appeared here directly.

Jiang Chengji looked at Chen Fei somewhat incredulously at that moment. He hadn’t even realized when Chen Fei had grabbed him.

Jiang Chengji’s late-stage Rule Integration Realm cultivation seemed powerless like a child in front of Chen Fei.

Seeing Chen Fei appear, Qiu Gongzhi’s heart couldn’t help but become anxious. Chen Fei’s talent should not vanish here; he had hoped Chen Fei would become the spark of the human race, which is why he had asked Jiang Chengji to take Chen Fei away beforehand.

But now, Chen Fei was here, and after uttering that last sentence, there was no second road left to take.

“How audacious!”

Hearing Chen Fei’s words, before Wu Ze could speak, the Ice Race’s Rule Integration Realm peak Wu Mou took a step forward and slapped toward Chen Fei’s cheek.

Lv Yan and others released attacks, locking onto Qiu Gongzhi and the other two, preventing them from being able to aid Chen Fei.

Seeing the Ice Race’s Wu Mou make a move, just as Jiang Chengji thought of sacrificing himself to block the attack for Chen Fei, before he could move, a vigorous power sent him backward.

Jiang Chengji turned his head to see Chen Fei waving his left hand, sending him back, then raising his right hand, he too sent a palm strike toward Wu Mou.

Wu Mou looked at Chen Fei’s attack with a mocking gaze in his eyes; a mere mid-stage Rule Integration Realm.

“Bang!”

A dull thud sounded, and Wu Mou’s left cheek caved in, his entire body wavering backward.
