Chapter 1921

"It's better to live than to die. If they can live by betraying you, I believe they won't hesitate."

Gu Chen teased.

Hearing this, be it the assassins of the Kingdom War, the elite assassins, or even the two elders, all had a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

One of the two elders said without hesitation, "Mr. Chen, as long as you spare the Old Man's life, the Old Man will serve you as the Pavilion Master. Today's matter will not be spread. Pavilion Master Ye died suddenly, and it has nothing to do with Pavilion Master Chen!"

The speed at which his attitude changed was faster than flipping a book. Seeing that someone had taken the initiative, the high-level cultivators of Honesty Pavilion didn't hesitate to swear an oath to draw a clear line between themselves and Ye Wunian and to serve Gu Chen as their master from now on!

"You …"

Ye Wunian was furious, but a strange look flashed in the depths of his eyes.

The elder who spoke first was his right-hand man who had gone through thick and thin with him for many years. He knew very well that Ye Wunian wouldn't betray him so easily.

In other words, his current attitude was probably a delaying tactic. If Chen Yi believed him, then they had a chance to turn the tables!

Even if he were to die today, he believed that his beloved general would definitely avenge him!

Ye Wunian knew very well what to do now. He pointed at his subordinates angrily and scolded them for betraying him, fighting for their lives.

"I've seen your sincerity. Unfortunately, I don't intend to let any of you live today."

Gu Chen looked at the high-level cultivators of Honesty Pavilion who were begging for mercy, and suddenly shook his head regretfully.

The high-level cultivators, who were expressing their loyalty, all quieted down and looked at him in shock.

"I've said it before. After the last purge and reorganization, the people left in Honesty Pavilion are all people you trust. It's not easy to make them betray you."

"Even if they submit to me because they want to live today, there will be endless hidden dangers in the future. So, I was just saying it casually. What I need is a new Honesty Pavilion, completely under my control. "

Gu Chen said this emotionlessly, while the Clay Bodhisattva took out a sword and walked towards the high-level cultivators of Honesty Pavilion.

Clang!

A sword light flashed by, and the head of the Elder who had surrendered first didn't even have the time to resist before it rolled to the ground. The Elder's eyes were wide open before he died, and he seemed to be unable to believe everything that had happened!

Fresh blood dyed the banquet hall red for a while. Many of the higher-ups of Innocent Pavilion were terrified, and those who were closest to the door immediately rushed out!

Puchi. Puchi.

A few cultivators who had just escaped to the door suddenly had bloody holes in their throats. Then, they fell to the ground, dead!

Witnessing their companion's inexplicable death, the higher-ups of Wang Xian Pavilion who were following behind immediately retreated in a panic, not daring to rush out again!

However, what awaited them in the hall was a Clay Bodhisattva with a sword. He was like a god of death. Every time he raised his sword, someone would fall, accompanied by a shrill scream!

It was a pity that all the higher-ups of Innocence Pavilion were poisoned. They couldn't mobilize the Dao power in their bodies at all, and the more they tried, the deeper they were poisoned. Before they could even use their skills, they had already died under the sword!

Ye Wunian couldn't stay calm anymore when he saw his subordinates die one by one. With red eyes, he said hysterically, "Stop! Chen Yi, stop right now! They are the mainstays of Wang Xian Pavilion. If you kill them all, Wang Xian Pavilion will be as good as useless. How can you control Wang Xian Pavilion then? "

He didn't expect Gu Chen to be so cruel and merciless, killing so many high-level cultivators just like that!

Even when he massacred Wang Xian Pavilion previously, he wasn't so unscrupulous, for fear of hurting Wang Xian Pavilion's vitality.

"What I need is Wang Xian Pavilion's intelligence channels and influence in the seven nations. Pavilion Master Ye, haven't you already given me a lot of these?"

"Besides, I can just replenish the higher-ups. Not all of Wang Xian Pavilion's state-war-level killers are here."

Gu Chen's indifferent and emotionless reply made Ye Wunian realize that he wasn't trying to make an example out of them, but was really trying to kill all the higher-ups!

His whole body trembled. He remembered that Gu Chen had asked him for information on Wang Xian Pavilion's spies in the Sheng Yang region and the imperial courts of the seven nations through Ye Mi. At that time, he had high hopes for Gu Chen, hoping that Gu Chen would mess up Dacheng and create an opportunity for him, so he agreed.

He didn't expect that his little trick back then would turn out to be shooting himself in the foot, making Gu Chen even more unscrupulous in killing people!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The Clay Bodhisattva raised his sword, and the heads of the high-level cultivators of Wang Xian Pavilion fell to the ground one after another. Blood quickly filled the entire banquet hall.

Ye Wunian watched helplessly as his subordinates died one by one. Yet, he was powerless to resist!

Ye Mi looked at the bloody scene and trembled. Who knew how many famous assassins had died here? They were top assassins in the Great Cheng Realm. But now, they had died so miserably. It was not spectacular at all.

She was in a trance. These days, she had been uneasy, worried that Gu Chen would fail. She didn't expect such a scene at all.

With each high-level cultivator of Wang Xian Pavilion dying, the shackles that had bound her for years seemed to break. Her godfather's invincible image in her heart also collapsed bit by bit.

In the end, the high-level cultivators of Wang Xian Pavilion were killed until only Householder Peach Blossom was left. His scalp went numb as he watched the Clay Bodhisattva approach him step by step.

He smiled bitterly and didn't beg for mercy. He closed his eyes silently and waited for death to come.

"Keep him alive first. Let him do what he needs to do."

Just then, Gu Chen spoke and actually spared Householder Peach Blossom's life. Hearing this, the Clay Bodhisattva nodded and withdrew his sword.

Householder Peach Blossom opened his eyes and couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. For a moment, he wondered why Gu Chen had spared his life.

Could it be because the two of them had been friends before?

He quickly rejected this idea. Even if they had been friends before, he had listened to the Pavilion Master's arrangements and set up a trap to kill the other party. Just based on this, the other party had no reason to spare his life.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He didn't know what fate awaited him.

"Lock the two of them up together."

Gu Chen pointed at Ye Wunian and instructed him again.

"Chen Yi! If you want to kill them, just kill them. Why do you keep me alive? "

Having lost so many capable subordinates, Ye Wunian was almost driven mad. He shouted hysterically, unwilling to be humiliated.

"I still have a lot of questions to ask you. How can you die now? I don't have time for you now. Let's talk after this is over. "

Gu Chen sneered. The Clay Bodhisattva immediately tied Ye Wunian and Householder Peach Blossom up and threw them into his swamp space.
