The Strongest Sect of All Times

Chapter 164: should have targeted anyone else

Putong!

There was a whistle of the wind and the body thudded to the ground, blood splashing onto Xiao Shanhais face. He was so frightened he almost fell over on the spot, a cold sensation crawling straight up his spine!

An expert assassin he had so carefully trained was instantly killed with a bang?

Boss!

Seeing that man being killed, the assassins were wide-eyed, almost about to toss their hidden weapons..

Xiu, xiu, xiu!

Venomous Snake and the others moved faster than these assassins, the numerous weapons already moving through the air. 

Putong! Putong!

In a short moment, the more than 20 assassins of the Xiao Family fell to the floor. 

Before they died, they did not forget to have one thought: I-Indeed true experts

Witnessing his subordinates being massacred, Xiao Shanhais pupils enlarged with fright, his legs trembling as the Desert Eagle was pressed to his forehead. 

Manager Xiao. 

Li Luoqiu smiled, You could have provoked anyone, but you chose to provoke my Ironbone Sect.

Dont kill me Xiao Shanhai mumbled out, his eyes filled with fright. 

No one wanted to die, living was great!

Li Luoqiu made a small movement with the gun, apathetically responding: Sect Head said not to leave a single person behind in your Xiao Familys assassin stronghold. Therefore, Ill send you off

Bang!

A bullet penetrated his forehead and blood splattered the wall. 

Putong. 

The Xiao Familys manager of external affairs fell straight down. 

While he was dying, he was still thinking about how an organization like Drizzle Pavilion had become a part of the Ironbone Sect, how the Drizzle Pavilion Master had become a hall master. 

Since he could not think it through, he would have to think about it some more in the Yellow Springs [1]. 

Qinya House, which was acting as a cover for the Xiao Familys assassins, was completely destroyed by Li Luoqiu and company. 

Because in the basement, close combat was extremely effective. 

The martial artists of the city would never dream that tonight dozens of people would die in Qingya House. 

To be honest, the assassins of the Xiao Family were too amateur. 

If not for a direct order from the sect head to completely destroy the place, Drizzle Hall would not have dispatched so many members. 

Shua, shua!

Li Luoqiu brought her subordinates to emerge from the backyard, landing on the nearby trees to say: The head of the place is the Xiao Familys manager of external affairs.

Xiao Shanhai? Xiao Zuijis eyes were severe. 

Jun Changxiao asked, You know him?

Xiao Zuiji clenched his jaw and hissed, When Disciples aptitude regressed in the past, he created difficulties in the family to humiliate me.

Jun Changxiao said, Bring that guy over.

Daring to bully this lords disciple, the guy has to suffer, suffer so much he would rather die!

Li Luoqiu said, He was killed in one shot.

Hes dead? Jun Changxiao shook his head, He died too easily.

Li Luoqiu asked, What should we do next?

Jun Changxiao stroked his chin. Carry off all the corpses and set fire to Qingya House.

They carried off the corpses and burnt the building to the ground to make the Xiao Family restless. 

Got it.

Li Luoqiu jumped off to pass down the instructions. 

Jun Changxiao added, Zuiji, you will be the one to start the fire. It will be equal to burning all the strings that tie you to the Xiao Family!

Mhm.

Xiao Zuiji nodded, then jumped down. 

Li Luoqiu ordered the subordinates to carry off Xiao Shanhai and the dozen or so corpses, then vanished under the curtain of night. 

It may be said that the group arrived in a hurry and left in a hurry. 

Huu-huu!

Xiao Zuiji stood before Qingya House, holding a burning stick in his hands, the flickering flames illuminating a blank expression. 

Xiao Family. 

Today, I, Xiao Zuiji, will completely cut all ties with you.

Shua!

He tossed the flames into Qingya House, the flames devouring the counter and furniture inside, instantly growing into an intense fire. 

Jun Changxiao stood on the city walls, looking at the rising flames and watching his disciple leave. 

Zuiji, you only have one status now: disciple of my Ironbone Unyielding Sect.

Theres a fire!

Qingya House is on fire!

The burning flames woke up the soundly sleeping city, alarmy the martial artists who rushed from their rooms. 

After the Xiao Family received the news, they sent a large number of people to put out the flames. But regardless of how much water they poured onto the building, it was hard to put out the massive flames. 

And by dawn, Qingya House had become ruins. 

Hateful!

Standing amongst the charred ruins, the Xiao Family Great Elder had his eyes bulging. Who dared do this?!

There were so many assassins in the basement, so it was absolutely impossible for the place to randomly burst into flames someone definitely did it!

Great Elder.

Second Elder Xiao walked over and murmured, There are bloodstains in the secret room and our people have disappeared.

Great Elder Xiao clenched his fists. 

He could already guess it but the teahouse was burnt, the assassins that Xiao Shanhai had laboriously trained had also vanished this was definitely misfortune upon misfortune!

Who?

Who dared?

Great Elder Xiao could only roar angrily in his heart. He did not dare display too much anger on his face because in the eyes of others, Qingya House was but a business. 

The news that Qingya House was reduced to ashes in a large fire was quickly brought to Liyang City, becoming a widely discussed topic. 

No one believed that the fire was an accident, it was too strange. Therefore, after thorough discussion, the conclusion was that the family had offended someone. 

Who did they offend?

It was not easy to figure out since no one had witnessed the perpetrator in action. 

Xiao Family, great hall. 

Several elders had gathered, anger on their faces. Some were anxious, which was normal, since there seemed to have been great upheaval. 

They had spent large sums of money to buy the method to train assassins from Drizzle Pavilion. After several years of training, they had finally reached an excellent level. But in the end they were suddenly destroyed this was an absolutely serious attack!

What a tragedy this was, and they didnt even know who was behind it!

Pah!

Second Elder Xiao angrily smacked the table, saying, Great Elder, this matter must be thoroughly investigated!

Third Elder Xiao said, We dont even know the reason, how are we supposed to check?

Fourth Elder carefully said, The opponent dared to burn Qingya House to the ground, so they will probably not fear our Xiao Family.

These words made the angry elders instantly calm down. 

Fifth Elder solemnly said, The person who acted dared to burn Qingya House and not even a corpse remains, the perpetrator definitely has terrible intentions!

Great Elder Xiao, who had been so far silent, opened his mouth to say, Could it have been the Ironbone Sect?

He thought about it for a while and didnt think that the Xiao Family had offended anyone recently. He could only think of whether the assassins he sent to sneak attack Xiao Zuiji had been discovered by the Ironbone Sect. 

The Second Elder said, The Ironbone Sect Head just led his disciples to challenge the Vast Spirit Gate, does he have the time for crime?

Great Elder Xiao was lost in thought. 

To be honest, he hoped that it was not the Ironbone Sect, because defeating the Vast Spirit Gate meant that this eighth-grade sect was really not simple!

Great Elder Xiao said, Lets wait until the patriarch is out to discuss this again.

Mhm.

The other elders nodded. 

However, they did not know that after returning to the Ironbone Sect, Jun Changxiao was creating a second plan. 

Destroying Qingya House was but the beginning. 

Sect Head Jun would have to use a different method to retaliate against the Xiao Family and make them go insane. 

After considering it, he said: Louqiu, within the shortest time possible, completely investigate all of the Xiao Familys businesses in Qingyang Commandery.

Li Luoqiu asked, What does the sect head want to do?

Jun Changxiao sneered, A familys lifeblood is their business. Only by punishing them economically can I give them a fatal blow.

Understood, Li Luoqiu said. 

That Xiao Familys great elder, Jun Changxiao lightly said. Watch this lord closely!

Xiao Shanhai was but a manager of external affairs, but this so-called great elder was definitely the true leader. 

With all his lackeys gone, could he still live comfortably?
