Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

Before the gray fog could engulf the entire area, its creator grinned and stepped forward, striking first and relying on its lightning speed to attack Liu Wang.

"boom!"

Faced with his enemy who suddenly appeared before him, Liu Wang was furious. He crossed his arms and placed them against his chest to meet the whip kick that came flying through the air.

"Boom!"

"Third Brother!"

The crowd gasped in shock as a figure as strong as a bear was overpowered and knocked several feet away in their sight.

"Damn?!"

Zhang Xuan's pupils narrowed slightly. She decisively pulled the trigger of her crossbow, and six short arrows, each imbued with deadly poison, shot out. Their sharp edges swept through the air and arrived in an instant, but Weir sensed them and easily dodged them by sidestepping.

"You monster, it's not your place to be so presumptuous."

Zhao Pingshan, wielding a heavy silver hammer, unleashed a dense burst of electricity, resembling a venomous snake with its jaws wide open, as he lunged at Will.

The surging gray fog swept in, and everyone used their Qi to resist it, only to be horrified to discover that they had been hit by it without even realizing it. Their skin ulcerated, tumors grew, and the intense pain made it almost impossible for them to maintain their sanity.

"Pfft!"

Will rushed close, his right hand piercing through Zhang Xuan's heart and shattering it.

"Kneel down, you filthy fool!"

Huang Fang and Zhang Gui tried to help, but the soil beneath their feet suddenly cracked open, and cursed monkey claws gripped their ankles tightly, forming a firm restraint that froze them in place.

"call out!"

Will casually waved his hand, and two wisps of gray mist condensed into narrow scythes, slashing at the weak points of their knees. The popliteal fossa, rich in tendons and fibrous tissue, was sliced ​​open as if it were tofu in an instant, and blood spurted out.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Zhang Gui and Huang Fang were crippled on the spot, like lambs to the slaughter, losing all their ability to resist.

"Help me, Third Brother! Eleventh Brother!"

Liu Wang, Ping Shan Tian Hai, and Hao Wen Cai, who were not far away, felt their scalps tingle when they heard Huang Fang's shouts.

The sworn sister, number twenty-three, was swollen all over, her facial features were distorted and deformed, and she no longer had any human characteristics. Even her cries for help gradually became incoherent. She lay on the ground, lifeless.

The four survivors realized they were no match for the monster before them, and without time to grieve, they decided to scatter and flee.

A split second before the thought crossed their minds and an understanding was reached, Will gave them no chance. He moved like the wind, chasing after them and bombarding them with deadly attacks.

"elder brother!!"

Zhao Pingshan was hit hard by Will's punch, which shattered his jawbone from bottom to top, causing him to vomit blood. One blow was enough to take away half of his life.

Zhao Tianhai, screaming in alarm, was completely unaware that he was also on the verge of death. He activated his protective magic weapon and attacked in a fit of rage. The compass he was holding suddenly shot out like a guillotine, aimed at Will's throat.

"Don't worry."

Like the voice of a demon echoing across the battlefield, Zhao Tianhai attacked like a madman. He was quickly caught off guard when Will lunged forward and struck him in the abdomen with a palm strike, creating a bloody hole. Zhao Tianhai's body stiffened and he fell to the ground.

The remaining Liu Wang and Hao Wencai joined forces to resist, but were defeated in no time.

One person's body was slashed diagonally by the scythe formed by the gray mist, while another had his limbs broken, his foot planted on his skull, and half of his face was almost buried in the mud.

After learning about the role of the proclamation, Will followed suit and ordered Hao Wencai to contact the other brothers and meet at another location.

"Tell them to wait for you at the dock; you have a way to temporarily avoid the risks."

Under duress and with no other choice, Hao Wencai, concerned for the safety of his relatives and teachers, made the same decision as Ding Dali.

He was filled with remorse afterward, and could almost foresee the tragic fate of his other brothers. Unable to bear the guilt, he took his own life.

"Jiu!"

A pebble was carelessly thrown by Will, piercing through Zhao Pingshan's head;

Thus, all thirty-six thieves who came to keep the appointment were wiped out. Four days passed, and a total of ten demons were killed by Will.

He smelled the pervasive scent of blood as his figure slowly disappeared into the distance, bathed in the glow of the setting sun.

The evening of the fifth day.

Will arrived at the agreed location to hunt, but no prey came for a day and a night.

Just when he thought it was almost over and was preparing to return to his sect, on the morning of the last day, four figures arrived together. They were Wang Xinhai from Wild Mao Mountain, Lin Zifeng from Flowing Cloud Sword, Xu Xia from Yixian Stream, and Mr. Lu from Iron Plate Immortal.

They were in a sorry state, constantly on the run from their sect and the martial arts world. After several days of fierce fighting and escape, they were exhausted.

They finally managed to gather in one place and barely managed to stick together for warmth. They received two messages, one asking for help and the other offering a way to survive.

They chose the second option, unaware that upon arriving at the dock, they would be met with death.

The lurking Will slowly stepped out of a small boat that had docked at the shore, and upon seeing the four prey approaching, he immediately made his move.

"boom!"

The battle broke out, and the four of them tried to fight back in a panic, but they couldn't withstand Will's overwhelming power and died one after another.

......

The 15th day of the sixth lunar month.

The various sects involved held a meeting in the capital city where the Lu family was located to deal with the traitor, presided over by Old Master Lu.

The old guys from the Celestial Master's Mansion, Yanwu Hall, Huode Sect, Shangqing, Wudang, Tang Sect, and Shuzi Sect all came, while the representatives of the Sanyi Sect were Chengzhen, Lu Jin, and Zhuge Yu.

Even though they were separated by one or even two generations, when Chengzhen led his two junior brothers across the threshold of the hall, all the righteous sect leaders present were secretly shocked.

In less than two years, this young man's cultivation level has approached that of their old friend who was once known as an immortal.

"Esteemed seniors, it's been a long time! How have you been?"

Chengzhen entered the meeting with composure, a gentle smile on his lips as warm as the rising sun, showing neither the slightest bit of fierce or intimidating aura, nor any fear of the various faction leaders present.

"It's alright... but the rebellious disciple within the sect has caused trouble, making me unable to eat or sleep."

The old man who spoke was broad-shouldered and burly, clearly the previous head of the Yanwu Hall. His brows were furrowed with worry, and his words were a test of the attitude of the Sanyi Sect.

"By the way, Nephew Chengzhen, why are your two uncles absent from this meeting? How have they been lately?"

The Wudang leader hesitated to ask, feeling uneasy, fearing that this matter would create enmity with the Sanyi Sect, making it difficult to resolve in the future.

"I'm sorry to trouble you with your concern, senior. My two senior uncles are still in seclusion and it's not advisable for them to go out. I will temporarily take care of all the affairs within the sect."

Chengzhen sat on the nanmu chair beside Master Lu, greeted the old man with courtesy, and then looked at the Celestial Master opposite him, and even at all the renowned figures present, and smiled slightly:

"Now that everyone is here, let's continue our conversation. I'd like to hear everyone's opinions, gather our wisdom, and then make a final proposal."

For these sects that had signed alliances and fought together, Chengzhen showed them sufficient respect and tolerance, as long as they could imprison the involved members of their sects, abolish their cultivation, and let them decide their life or death at will.

Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Lord Lu pondered for a moment and said:

"My Lu family will not get involved in this matter, nor will we take this opportunity to make things difficult for you all. However, with the war raging, we should unite against the common enemy and not let those rebellious little fellows damage our harmony, which would be detrimental to the country."

"Good! Brother Lu, you're so kind."

The former head of Yanwu Hall, without a moment's hesitation, immediately expressed his opinion:

“Then my Yanwu Hall is willing to consider the overall situation, eliminate this wicked creature to uphold the rules of the sect; as for the other scoundrels who have wandered outside and colluded with demons, we will kill them one by one.”

The renowned figures present remained silent. The words of Master Lu and the old hall master struck a nerve. Even those who wanted to secretly protect the traitor within their sect could not speak.

The Celestial Master, the Tang Clan Elder, and the Shangqing Sect Leader all remained silent. This outcome was within their expectations; they seemed to be tacitly approving it, or perhaps pondering room for maneuver.

Zhang Huaiyi, Zheng Zibu, Xu Xin, and Dong Chang all possessed the qualifications to succeed their respective sects. The three elders found no reason to forgive or protect them, yet they couldn't bear to kill them outright, leaving them deeply conflicted.

The old man from Huodezong noticed their predicament and hesitation, and being of an open and honest nature, he decided to speak frankly.

"In my opinion, those traitors were mostly bewitched by the devil, which led them down this evil path."

“Severe punishment is certainly justified, but if we, as their teachers and advisors, allow them to go astray, we cannot shirk our responsibility.”

“I share the same feelings as everyone else. Whether we kill them or punish them severely, I think you all have a certain degree of consideration.”

"How about... we just leave each other alone and handle our own affairs?"

The words had barely left his mouth when, before anyone could agree...

A discordant voice rang out. Hu Tu, a member of the Shuzi Sect sitting in the back, spoke indifferently: "Senior Zhong, I don't think this is necessary."

"Oh? What do you mean, Master Hu? If you have a better solution, I would like to hear the details." The old man from Huode Sect stroked his beard and smiled.

All eyes turned to him, and there Hu Tu said in a hoarse voice:

"They have made mistakes and caused great disaster. How can we spare the lives of these wicked creatures?"

His gaze was resolute and cold as he looked at each of the seniors present, his words filled with dissatisfaction.

"If we don't execute them today to warn future generations, what if some arrogant disciples follow suit? Would all the blood of our ancestors have been shed in vain?"

"While the disaster is still small, we should annihilate them in one fell swoop. Otherwise, if we let them escape and fall into the demonic path, they will become powerful and cause harm to countless innocent people in the future. When we are old and frail, will our descendants have to deal with them and bleed or even lose their lives?"

Hu Tu made his point definitively, leaving no room for rebuttal, and then delivered a bombshell announcement.

“A few nights ago, the old master of my Shuzi Sect paid the price of his life to perform a divination, foreseeing disaster, and passed away on the spot. Before he left, he instructed me to eradicate evil completely and not to be perfunctory in the slightest.”

"..."

The entire hall fell silent once more. Many sect leaders felt a mix of emotions. They hadn't expected that old acquaintance to leave like this. What was worse, he had seen a potentially disastrous future before everyone else.

If this matter is not handled properly, it will lead to endless troubles.

The old man of Huodezong was speechless for a long time, feeling a headache. He gave up all thoughts of defense. Even if he had doted on his junior, Fengping, he had to give him up now.

"Please accept my condolences, Master Hu. What you said makes sense, and I agree."

The old master of Yanwu had a fiery temper and couldn't tolerate even the slightest imperfection.

In his view, a mistake is a mistake, and only by making those wicked people pay the price with their lives can we serve as a warning to others and prevent them from making the same mistake again.

“I know that you seniors treat those wicked creatures like your own children and may find it difficult to do so. So I will set an example.”

Hu Tu looked around, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice:

"Hu Haiwang, one of the Thirty-Six Thieves, is my only son. I have ordered him to commit suicide. His body is outside, guarded by my disciples. If any senior does not believe me, feel free to go and see for yourself."

"It was definitely not a disguise, and the body was definitely not blurred or unrecognizable. The dead man was Hu Haiwang."

"I am saying this to make my stance clear: my Shuzi Sect will not show any mercy or favoritism to these traitors who collude with Quanxing! As for how you seniors deal with your disciples, I dare not overstep my bounds."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

To everyone's surprise, the usually amiable Master Hu would act so decisively, sending his only son to his death.

Hu Tu's example made things completely irreversible, and all the Celestial Master could do was tacitly approve.

"If that's the case...then all those involved should die."

The old man from Huodezong sighed softly, suppressing the wavering compassion in his heart.

“Alright… go all out, consider it a warning to future generations, I have no objection.” For the sake of long-term considerations, the Shangqing Sect Leader agreed with their statement.

Sensing his old friend's predicament, the old master of Yanwu spoke again:

"I think it would be better if we pooled our resources and hunted down all the demons together?"

"After all, the bond between fellow disciples remains. Even if we old folks allow it, the disciples below might not be able to kill their former senior and junior brothers. It's better to leave it to outsiders."

"can."

"Recently, the Quanxing sect has resurfaced, and the foreigners from the East are also stirring up trouble. We must first pacify the internal situation before we can deal with the current troubles."

There were no further objections from the sect leaders present.

After they had finished talking, Master Lu turned to Chengzhen and asked, "Nephew, what do you think of this matter?"

Chapter 191 A Man of Great Power and Influence

The old man's words touched everyone's hearts. When it came to dealing with the Thirty-Six Thieves, the Sanyi Sect also had the right to make a judgment. Wugensheng was their target, and even if the other traitors were killed by them, the sects present would not dare to turn against them.

Upon hearing the old man's question, Chengzhen, who respected this senior even in his lifetime, dared not be negligent and spoke frankly about his thoughts:

"Seniors, you may do with them as you see fit, whether you kill them or spare them. I must make one point clear: those demons will only be allowed to live if they are crippled and imprisoned in the sect under your strict supervision forever."

"Of course, if our predecessors are exhausted and unwilling to keep watch or eliminate them, then our Sanyi Sect will not hesitate to wipe them out along the way while we are on our way to punish Wugensheng."

"As for your other ideas, whether you want to hunt them down or severely punish them, as long as they do not conflict with my demands, my Sanyi Sect will not interfere and you can handle your own sect's private affairs as you wish."

The renowned figures in the arena were actually divided into three factions when dealing with the Thirty-Six Thieves.
