Chapter 217 Offering Amnesty to Qi Sheng
Thousands of miles away.

In the Netherworld Sect.

Among the seven mountains and eight ridges, in the Dayou Mountains, there is a Jade Well Peak.

This day.

Inside the cave, Wang Qun was both shocked and furious: "You wretched child! You wretched child!! You wretched child!!!"

He was absolutely furious: "Look what that wretched creature has done!"

Standing in front of him was Wu Shuang.

Wu Shuang sighed, "You can know a person's face, but not their heart!"

Wang Qun was taken aback. Did he actually agree with him?

He felt a surge of excitement, and his anger subsided slightly: "That scoundrel is a complete beast in human form! We went to Changwei Mountain to help him fight, and look at what he's done!"

Wu Shuang shook her head: "I wasn't talking about Sheng'er."

"Ok?"

Wang Qun was stunned.

Wu Shuang gritted her teeth: "I never expected Han Fu to be such a shameless person! We traveled thousands of miles to help him, and even if we didn't do anything, we still put in a lot of effort. Sheng'er even single-handedly turned the tide against many enemies in Wanku Ridge. In the end, Han Fu actually repaid kindness with enmity. He's a hypocrite and a real villain! I didn't see through him back then, and I almost killed Sheng'er."

Wu Shuang grew increasingly resentful as she spoke.

Wang Qun finally understood that Wu Shuang was referring to Han Fu, not Qi Sheng, as she was saying "a beast in human form."

He was immediately enraged: "That wicked brat's one-sided story, and Junior Sister actually believed it? He must have coveted the Immortal Mansion's treasures, murdered Brother Han and the others, and then transformed into Brother Han's appearance to seize control of the Han family!"

“When this boy first entered the school, I knew he was unruly and of questionable character. Now it seems I was right!”

Wang Qun looked at Wu Shuang: "Fortunately, he betrayed the Netherworld Sect. Otherwise, if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely have killed me. He might have even smeared me and impersonated me!"

Wang Qun felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about it.

Lady Wang of the Han family betrothed her daughter Han Zhi to Qi Sheng, but Qi Sheng impersonated Han Fu.

Wu Shuang had previously intended to marry her daughter Wang Ling to Qi Sheng, but who knew if Qi Sheng would impersonate her Wang Qun?

It's said that the wicked one has a particular fondness for this.

The more Wang Qun thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and the more terrified and angry he became.

Wang Qun was certain.

Wu Shuang trembled with anger: "What kind of filthy talk are you spouting!"

How can you talk about your apprentice like that? How can you talk about your wife like that?

Absolutely ridiculous!
The couple argued back and forth, one believing their friend and the other believing their apprentice.

It wasn't just Wang Qun and Wu Shuang.

The couple is just one example.

In fact.

The entire barbarian land was almost completely stunned by the news that the 'Four Phases Sword' was actually 'Little Western Evil'.

Both of these individuals have risen to prominence in the Western Regions in recent years. The former founded his own sect, while the latter fought alone, and both have established formidable reputations.

What's even more coincidental is that the two are father-in-law and son-in-law, making it an even more beautiful story.

But who would have thought that the father-in-law and son-in-law were actually the same person?

For a while.

Perhaps it's because Qi Sheng's talent and genius are too high.

Perhaps it's because a treasure like the Ze Ding is so eye-catching.

Or perhaps it's because of scandalous gossip, such as the idea of ​​a man who is both a son-in-law and a father-in-law.

The latter, in particular, was widely discussed and quickly became a hot topic throughout the entire barbarian lands.

This time.

The name "Little Western Heretic Qi Sheng" has become famous throughout the barbarian lands. Because of his outrageous actions, some people, whether they are busybodies or admirers, even call him the "number one son-in-law in history". Other sons-in-law marry daughters, but Qi Sheng marries as a father-in-law. Which son-in-law is as thorough as him?
The first son-in-law in history.

Qi Sheng deserves the title.

In short.

The deeds of Qi Sheng were widely circulated throughout the vast and uncivilized land.

Some, like Wu Shuang, believed in Qi Sheng, seeing him as someone who endured hardship and persevered. Others, like Wang Qun, distrusted Qi Sheng, believing him to be deeply scheming and utterly wicked.

It caused a sensation.

But throughout the vast wilderness, not a single person dared to seek Qi Shengmei's signature at the Four Symbols Sword Sect.

The shadow of a famous tree.

The battle on Yingxian Ridge resulted in the deaths of more than ten top-tier or even peak-level patriarchs from the five sects, who were then trapped by the Four Symbols Sword Sect and never heard from again. This deterrent power was enough to shake the heavens and the earth.

Not to mention ordinary cultivators, even top-level experts are wary of them.

Universally recognized—

"That Qi Sheng: He is invincible below the Supreme One!"

……

It is said that the Netherworld Sect has 'Three Palaces', 'Seven Mountains', 'Eight Ridges', 'Twenty-One Peaks', and 'Twenty-Four Halls'. Among them, the 'Twenty-Four Halls' are the administrative institutions, the 'Seven Mountains and Eight Ridges' are the immortal path, and the 'Twenty-One Peaks' are the martial path.

And those 'three palaces'—

Among them, the 'War God Palace' leads the way in martial arts.

Among them, the 'Palace of Longevity' leads the way to immortality.

There is another 'Netherworld Palace', which is supreme and is the residence of the sect leader and a group of transcendent elders. They do not concern themselves with worldly affairs, but they decide all the major decisions of the Netherworld Sect.

This day.

The Palace of the Underworld.

A middle-aged man sat in the center, looking dashing and distinguished, but his face showed signs of fatigue.

Standing in front of him were two people. One was also middle-aged, Wu Bi, the head of the 'Da Yu Wu Family', one of the five surnames and seven noble families in the Netherworld Sect. The other was Qi Liang, the head of the 'Long Shou Qi Family', one of the five surnames and seven noble families.

The two arrived and bowed in unison, lamenting, "...Qi Sheng betrayed the Netherworld Sect, obtained the 'Ze Ding,' one of the five treasures used by the Five Ancestors of the Barbarian Frontier to control the waters, and killed three of our Netherworld Sect's top experts. His crimes are too numerous to count. Please, Sect Leader, instruct us on how to deal with him!"

It turned out that the middle-aged man at the head of the table was the leader of the Netherworld Sect, named "Nanmen Feiying". In his early years, he was known as "Eight Steps to Catch the Toad, Racing Eagle, Treading Snow Without a Trace, Iron Palm Flying on Water, Double Guns Covering the Five Borders". He was skilled in both immortal and martial arts, and his best combat skills were lightness skills, iron palms and double guns. He earned his invincible reputation through hard work.

Nanmen Feiying was not from any of the Five Clans and Seven Noble Families. He rose to prominence purely through his own hard work and cultivation. His strength might not be the strongest among the eight invincible figures of the Netherworld Sect. It was only because the seven invincible figures of the Five Clans and Seven Noble Families were not convinced by each other that he was made the sect leader and became the nominal head of the Netherworld Sect.

However, in reality, whenever there are earth-shattering events in the Netherworld Sect, Nanmen Feiying often finds it difficult to make decisions on his own. Only after convening the seven elders of the five surnames and seven clans for a discussion can the government's orders be effectively implemented.

It seems fictional, but it's not entirely fictional.

It resembles a puppet, yet it is not a puppet.

It's difficult to judge whether Nanmen Feiying, the sect leader, is a coward or not.

But at least within the Netherworld Sect, apart from the seven Supreme Elders, even the heads of the five clans and seven noble families, such as Wu Bi and Qi Liang, had to be extremely respectful and give them full face in front of them.

Go up.

After listening to the two men's report, Nanmen Feiying looked tired but slightly surprised: "I never expected that such a prodigy would emerge from the outside world in just a few years."

He secretly sent someone to investigate.

Not long after.

Then I understood the reason behind it.

Wu Bi and Qi Liang portrayed Qi Sheng as a traitor who murdered his fellow disciples and betrayed the Netherworld Sect, but the information Nanmen Feiying gathered was different.

He sneered inwardly.

He knew better than anyone the children of the Five Clans and Seven Noble Families were like, having grown up in the Netherworld Sect as an unrivaled wild outside of the Five Clans and Seven Noble Families. He knew that it must be the children of wealthy and powerful families who had bullied a commoner like Qi Sheng so much that they had no choice but to rebel.

Think about this.

Nanmen Feiying felt a sense of shared misfortune and said loudly, "Since this boy comes from the Netherworld Sect, all the past misunderstandings are understandable, so let's give him another chance."

Wu Bi and Qi Liang immediately sensed something was wrong.

Just about to speak.

But then an elderly man with white hair, who had been standing to the side at the head of the table, stepped forward and said in a clear voice: "Throughout the world, all those with nine orifices can cultivate immortality. Qi Sheng is originally from our sect, and now that he has cultivated immortality, he has the ability to subdue dragons and tigers. I urge the sect leader to consider the benevolence of our shared lineage and issue a decree of amnesty to summon him here, grant him a minor or major official position, register him in the census, and confine him here. If he obeys Heaven's will, he will be promoted and rewarded later; if he disobeys Heaven's will, he will be captured. This way, we can avoid troop movements and we can also use the proper method to recruit immortals."

Nanmen Feiying was delighted to hear this and said, "What Elder Bai said is very true."

He immediately ordered them to draft an imperial edict and go to offer them amnesty.

Wu Bi and Qi Liang exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with gloom. After rising to take their leave, they went to seek an audience with their elders.

You wish to be at peace!
I'm suing!
