Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 195 Zhou Qing Killed Someone Here

The entire palace seemed to be infected with a terrible plague, and everyone was dying rapidly.

Standing on the roof of the main hall, Xiao Baishan and Mu Zigui looked around at the tragic scene and felt a chill run down their spines.

Xiao Baishan witnessed his most beloved concubine stagger and fall in the dazzling flower garden. A high-ranking official in the cabinet was signing various documents about the war when he suddenly died. The once majestic eunuch who controlled the lives of thousands was now lying on the ground like a dead dog.

Not to mention these powerful and influential officials, Xiao Baishan realized that even he, the supreme ruler, wouldn't last much longer.

He demanded angrily, "Who exactly is trying to harm us?!"

Mu Zigui had the same question. He looked around, trying to find the enemy, and finally spotted two figures in mid-air.

He didn't know Zhou Qing, but he was very familiar with Mu Zhuosha.

Now that they recognized Mu Zhuosha, it wasn't hard to guess who was next to her.

This war was simply a continuation of the struggle between their four families and Zhou Qing.

The Mu family naturally anticipated Zhou Qing's counterattack and were prepared to deal with it.

But no one could have predicted that his counterattack would come so swiftly and so fiercely.

He actually wiped out the entire royal family of Daliang.

Mu Zigui had no energy to grieve for the Liang royal family right now. He knew that if no one came to his rescue, he wouldn't survive either.

So he knelt on the roof and cried out, "Grandma, save me!"

Hearing him call her "Grandma," Mu Zhuosha knew he was referring to her and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

Mu Zigui said, "I am Mu Zigui, Mu Yuanshan's son. According to the clan's seniority, I should call you Grandma. Please, Grandma, save me for the sake of our clan."

Mu Zhuosha had heard of Mu Yuanshan, but had never heard of Mu Zigui, but this did not affect her decision.

She sneered, "Who do you think you are, thinking that just because you have the surname Mu, you can establish a relationship with me?"

Mu Zigui's heart sank.

Listening to their conversation, Xiao Baishan realized that the two people in mid-air were the culprits behind this disaster.

He looked up, but because of the distance, he couldn't see the other person's face clearly. He only felt that the other person was high above him, like an unreachable god, which made him feel awe.

He followed Mu Zigui's example, kneeling down and pleading, "I beg the immortal to spare my life, considering how diligently my Xiao family has served the Qingyun Sect, and not let the Great Liang's sacrificial rites cease!"

Mu Zhuosha looked at Zhou Qing with interest, wanting to see how he would respond.

But Zhou Qing said, "There is a difference between immortals and mortals. You should have kept to your proper place, but you have been greedy and tried to interfere with the path of immortals."

"When you decided to interfere in the struggle between the immortals, did you not expect to face retaliation from the immortals?"

"If this act is not severely punished, it will encourage people to take chances, and there will never be peace in the world."

Zhou Qing's voice floated down from mid-air, sounding like thunder, making Xiao Baishan's heart tremble with fear.

He finally collapsed, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and slumped onto the roof of the main hall.

From then on, no one in the Liang imperial palace survived.

Mu Zigui felt a chill in his heart. He mustered his last bit of strength and flew away into the distance, but he hadn't flown more than a few feet before he suddenly crashed to the ground and fell silent.

Mu Zhuosha looked down at the corpses lying in the palace, shook her head, and said, "This is far too cruel."

Zhou Qing solemnly replied, "No, this is mercy."

"Kindness encourages good, and severity punishes evil. Only by combining kindness and severity can things be accomplished. Just as there is the warmth of spring and the cold of winter in this world, all things can thrive and grow."

Mu Zhuosha smiled and said, "You always have an explanation. What do we do next?"

Zhou Qing said, "Let's go down and take a look."

Mu Zhuosha led him to the ground. Zhou Qing strolled over the corpses and arrived at the center of the palace, the Jianji Hall where the court officials held court.

He looked around the hall and finally walked to a pillar. With swift fingers, he wrote on it:

The severe punishment imposed by Qingyun Zhou Qingshi serves as a warning to those in the world who would dare to interfere with the path of immortality.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Alright, we can go back now."

Mu Zhuosha stared at the pillar for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said, "You're a pretty good person. You're always the first to jump out and admit to killing someone."

Mu Zhuosha had also learned the details of Zhou Qing killing Wei Xing. She knew that Zhou Qing stayed behind to wait for Lü Qingzhu and Lü Cenzhong to come and confess that he had killed Wei Xing.

Now, regarding the massacre at the Liang Dynasty palace, he left a letter admitting his guilt.

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "If you killed him, you killed him. Why deny it?"

Mu Zhuosha nodded, and with Zhou Qing in tow, they took to the air and flew towards the Qingyun Sect.

News of the extermination of the Liang royal family quickly reached the front lines.

Upon receiving the news, the Liang soldiers who were besieging the capital of Xinzheng were thrown into chaos and hastily withdrew.

Without a power center, the Great Liang Kingdom naturally descended into chaos.

The surviving officials eventually chose one from a remote branch of the Liang royal family to succeed to the throne, which gradually brought the chaos to an end.

After ascending the throne, the first thing Emperor Xiao Heng did was to personally lead all the officials to the Qingyun Sect to apologize.

Meanwhile, Zhou Qing had already returned to the Qingyun Sect.

The day after Zhou Qing returned to the Qingyun Sect, he heard solemn bells ringing from the direction of Qingyun Mountain.

The bell rang three times, signaling the convening of a sect assembly.

Zhou Qing guessed it was about yesterday's events, so he set off for Zichen Palace.

He was the furthest from Zichen Palace, so when he arrived, all the current elders of the sect had already gathered.

The four family heads, Mu, Xu, Fang, and Lü, were also listening in. Among them, Mu Yunhe had a heavy expression, and when he saw Zhou Qing enter, he became angry.

Everyone looked serious, except for Mu Zhuosha, who smiled and gave him a reassuring look.

Zhou Qing returned her a smile, then looked around at everyone, first bowing to the sect leader, and then getting straight to the point: "This sect assembly must be for me."

Xu Jingfeng snorted coldly and said, "It's good that you know."

Zhou Qing remained noncommittal, and said, "What advice do you all have?"

Xu Jingfeng said, "The Xiao family of Daliang has been serving the Qingyun Sect for generations, yet you have exterminated their entire clan. If Zhou Qing is not severely punished, the people of the mortal world will likely find it difficult to live in peace from now on."

"The mortal world is ultimately the foundation of the immortal path."

Zhou Qing said, "Precisely because the mortal realm is the foundation of the immortal path, it is necessary to prevent the disputes of the immortal path from affecting the mortal realm."

“Any mortal who attempts to interfere in the struggles of the immortals should be severely punished, otherwise mortals will never have a peaceful day.”

Mu Yunhe suddenly stood up and said, "Zhou Qing, no matter how eloquent you are, you cannot explain why you killed my grandson Guiye there!"

Zhou Qing sneered, "If I had my way, it wouldn't just be Mu Zigui who died. If it weren't for the sect's reputation and the fact that an excessively fierce battle would greatly weaken the sect's strength, do you think you would still have the chance to stand in front of me and bark like that?"

"Be bold!"

"Zhou Qing is insolent!"

"Please, Master, severely punish this madman."
