Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 243 - 154 Vow to Kill Yan Shiyin_2

"Is the royal city not going to handle it?"

"The royal city wouldn't care about minor Foundation Establishment issues, whoever brings back the most from the current Death Realm at the Mystic Gate Realm, they would be the greatest contributor to Nanli!"

While everyone was talking, suddenly someone rode past on a horse, twenty or so Foundation Establishment practitioners parted the crowd, opening a path to the altar.

Chen Qing was draped in a black robe, and slowly walked toward the altar.

Su Yi then appeared riding a Suan Ni, the towering spirit beast arriving before the altar, Su Yi shouted: "Silence!"

Once it quieted down around him, Su Yi continued: "Yan Shiyin is brutal and lawless, recklessly slaughtering the descendants of meritorious families, trampling over the beautiful landscapes of Nanli!"

"He caused endless slaughter everywhere, even Hao Chengtian, the descendant of the Upper Pillar Country, was cruelly slain and hung over the city walls, left for vultures and crows to feast upon!"

"All women of the Taihao Tribe, were captured by him for his nightly revelries!"

"Many heirs of great tribes, were all brutally murdered by him!"

"The sins he committed in Nanli of Wu Country are too numerous to be recorded, even if one were to pour all the waters of the Canglan River, it could not wash away his crimes!"

Chen Qing slowly walked towards the altar, Zhang Can, next to him, asked quietly: "Is he really that bad?"

Chen Qing gave an awkward smile, "It's all rhetoric."

Meanwhile, Su Yi continued passionately, "Yan Shiyin once declared he would exterminate all heirs of the great tribes and descendants of distinguished families!"

Upon hearing this, numerous great tribe descendants were shocked.

"What, even Hao Chengtian wasn't spared?"

"Hao Chengtian had the largest reputation among those descendants, he couldn't escape either?"

"Hao Chengtian was killed, my family won't be far behind."

"Yan Shiyin, what a poison-hearted man!"

Su Yi was pleased with the effect, and continued: "We have long suffered under Yan Shiyin, now we have Xuan Bird from Qingxu, backing Zhang Can, who alone with his sword traveled thousands of miles from the royal city of the North, coming to Dao Origin Land!"

"We wish to raise rebellious troops, to attack Yan Shiyin, determined to exterminate his clique!"

Chen Qing stepped onto the altar and announced loudly: "Here in Qingxu, I make an oath to the Miao God and to heaven and earth!"

"Yan Shiyin is unjust, I, Qingxu, pledge to raise rebellious troops, become the guards of Nanli, to exterminate his clique, and to part from him in life and death!"

"Today here, I declare to the world, inviting friends from all over who share our path, to jointly strike down this thief!"

As the crowd below hesitated, they saw Zhang Can, dressed in plain clothes, throw off his hat and stride forward.

"Zhang Can of Hidden Sword Mountain, willing to follow Lord Wei, to kill Yan Shiyin!"

People nearby were shocked, some recognized Zhang Can, "It's Zhang Can, I once saw him from afar at Hidden Sword Mountain!"

"Even Zhang Can is willing to follow Qingxu?"

At this moment, Yan Bailiang stepped forward slowly, "My Dao Origin Land originally stays out of worldly affairs, but this Yan Shiyin is truly a scourge of chaotic times!"

"Troubled times call for Taoists to descend from the mountains!"

"I, Yan Bailiang, am willing to lead the Foundation Establishment practitioners of Dao Origin Land, to follow Lord Wei, to jointly strike at Yan Shiyin!"

Upon hearing this, the surroundings turned even more excited.

The two great sects from the north and south that stood for thousands of years, Hidden Sword Mountain and Dao Origin Land, both made their stance!

"It seems they're telling the truth, otherwise, how could such grand and age-old sects like Hidden Sword Mountain and Dao Origin Land make such a statement so readily?"

"Hurry back and report to the Young Master!"

"Great events are unfolding, truly great events are now happening!"

"Quickly go and spread the news!"

"Immediately disperse clan members, hide in the mountains, have the Young Master lead the Foundation Establishment practitioners to come and join us!"

"If Yan Shiyin resolves the threat from the North, he will surely move southwards!"

After the oath-taking ceremony, Chen Qing returned to Dao Origin Land, walking up the mountain road with Su Yi and Yan Bailiang, Chen Qing asked, "Were the high-skilled individuals of Dao Origin Land also invited to the royal city?"

Yan Bailiang bowed his hands and said, "Indeed, my Master and various uncles all went to the royal city for a discussion."

Chen Qing asked, "Bailiang, do you think this is the intention of the Miao God or the royal city?"

Yan Bailiang said, "I fear it's both."

Chen Qing slightly frowned, "It seems neither the royal city nor the Miao God is really going to intervene."

"Yan Bailiang, you've been in Dao Origin Land for a long time, could you help me go around and persuade the nearby great tribes."

Yan Bailiang immediately took the order, "Alright, I will go right away."

"Oh, and Lord Wei, don't be formal with me, since I've decided to follow you in fighting Yan Shiyin, I am now your subordinate, please don't stand on ceremony!"

Chen Qing nodded slightly, "Thank you."

He turned his head, "Su Yi, quickly take people and go persuade the great tribes you know well, let them come and join me!"

Su Yi also set out on his mission.

Chen Qing and Zhang Can ascended the mountain, "Now, it's a matter of seeing how many will come to join us."

"Worldly affairs are indeed unpredictable, and the situation in the world changes too swiftly."

Zhang Can said softly, "With the Master of Mortal World entering the Death Realm, people's hearts are changing, and so are the times."

Chen Qing asked, "Zhang, what are your thoughts on the Death Realm?"

Zhang Can replied, "For me, it is just a place that heralds death. All seven of my senior martial brothers died in the Death Realm."

"Actually, Lord Wei understands the situation in the Death Realm better than I do, doesn't he?"

Chen Qing nodded, "I do know some, but I'm not very clear about the specifics."

Chen Qing gave Zhang Can a meaningful look, it seems that their decision to join me was because of the authority I hold in the Jiguang Sect.

Now, the Jiguang Sect's influence is rising in the Death Realm, and his decision to join me is quite normal.

Speaking of Jiguang Sect and Hidden Sword Mountain, the difference is too immense.

Hidden Sword Mountain can at most be considered an ancient sect of Nanli's Wu Country, but the Jiguang Sect is different.

Even in decline, the Jiguang Sect remains a Great Sect.

It is a sect capable of causing a major upheaval in the world, shaking the world once the news of the Master of Mortal World entering the Death Realm spread.

This is the difference between the Jiguang Sect and Hidden Sword Mountain.

Moreover, the territory is different; this is not Da Yan, but Nanli.

The Jiguang Sect in Nanli is not considered a heretical sect.

After learning that Chen Qing belonged to the Jiguang Sect and held a high position there, Zhang Can expressed his willingness to join, and that was the reason.

July 26.

Jiang Xin and twelve Foundation Establishment members of her clan, all wearing big hats, hurriedly traveled.

Upon entering a small town, they heard numerous pieces of news.

Almost everyone in the town was discussing, "Have you heard? The Qingxu of Xuan Bird has risen in rebellion, aiming to crusade against Lord Yan Shiyin!"

"The mere Qingxu, having barely escaped, dares to compete with Lord Yan Shiyin?"

"Nothing but a buffoon; once Lord Yan Shiyin settles the troubles in the North, he will naturally go to punish them!"

Jiang Xin discreetly lowered her hat to avoid others recognizing their identities.

If discovered, she would surely not escape death.

The current situation has gradually become clear; in the North, Yan Shiyin has taken control around the royal city, claiming to act on the Great Prince's orders, offering all Foundation Establishment a chance to break through to the Mystic Gate Realm.

In the South, Chen Qing has declared at the Dao Origin Land to rise in arms to crusade against Yan Shiyin.

Those from large clans, barely qualifying as Foundation Establishment, having heard the news, prepared to head South to join Chen Qing.

Jiang Xin had once met Chen Qing and found him trustworthy, so she dissolved her Medicine Valley's clan letting them hide in the mountains.

Leading all the Foundation Establishments, she headed South to search for Chen Qing.

Jiang Xin hadn't expected the situation to change so rapidly.

In the northern part of Nanli, many heirs of large clans were killed, and Yan Shiyin established new heirs, currently tying up loose ends.

Just about to leave, Jiang Xin saw a group of over ten Foundation Establishments converging here.

Leading them was the Young Master of the Feiyu Tribe, Yan Chou.

Seeing Yan Chou appear, a young Foundation Establishment from Jiang Xin's group stepped forward, "You have finally arrived, I want to expose!"

"This woman is the Young Master of the Medicine Valley, intending to go South to join that thief from Qingxu!"

"My fellows, you've come at last!"

"I wonder if my merit could allow me to replace her identity?"

"I've heard that by killing her, I will become the new leader of Medicine Valley!"

"What are you all waiting for..."

Before he could finish, Yan Chou thrust a sword through his chest.

"Miss Jiang Xin, let's head South together."

Jiang Xin asked doubtfully, "Why have you decided to head South now?"

Yan Chou smiled and said, "Miss Jiang Xin, you traveled thousands of miles to join Qingxu, which shows Qingxu is worth following."

"If I hadn't received the news from your Medicine Valley, I wouldn't have been able to make this decision!"

"Yan Shiyin, he's too ruthless; I likely won't have a chance to survive."
