Sudden Change

"Humph, what's there to be afraid of?" Lu Qingshan angrily rebuked.

It was not just the current Beitian Gang that was inferior to his Qingshan Sect, even if it was the Beitian Gang at its peak, they wouldn't dare offend the master. He dared to go confront them with just a kitchen knife.

With Lu Qingshan's command, the Qingshan Sect's army suddenly marched forward.

"What?" The Beitian Gang's three top martial artists were shocked, thinking Lu Qingshan was just boasting. They didn't expect him to take action.

After the Qingshan army marched off, Lu Qingshan angrily commanded the eighteen protectors who stayed behind to surround the three martial artists and attack them.

The eighteen protectors were the pillars of Qingshan Sect, all having reached the martial spirit realm. Surrounding the three, victory was almost guaranteed.

"Ahhh..." Three miserable screams rang out. The three martial spirits didn't even have time to react before being captured alive by the eighteen protectors.

Seeing this, Mao Lin and his son Mao Yi trembled uncontrollably, cold sweat streaming down their faces.

They had never imagined that the three martial spirits they relied on would be defeated so easily. Although they could tell from their escape that they were no match, at least they should have been able to resist a little.

At that moment, the father and son felt their hearts twitch painfully.

After capturing the three martial spirits, Lu Qingshan's dignified gaze fell upon Mao Lin and his son, accompanied by dense pressure.

"Crack!" Under this pressure, Mao Lin and his son couldn't withstand it for even a moment. Their knees heavily hit the ground as their faces filled with despair.

"It was you who sent people to injure Master Yi's disciple?" Lu Qingshan's heavy voice questioned, the pressure on his body growing stronger and stronger.

"It wasn't me, it wasn't me." Under the pressure and fear, Mao Yi's psychological defenses collapsed. He shrieked, "I didn't get involved in this at all. It was him, it was him..."

As he spoke, he hurriedly pointed at Mao Lin, madly shouting, "It was all this old guy's fault, it had nothing to do with me!"

"You..." Seeing his own son turn against him at the critical moment, Mao Lin's qi and blood surged, coughing up a mouthful of blood. Everything he did was for Mao Yi's future, he didn't expect Mao Yi to sell him out in an instant.

However, Lu Qingshan didn't care about their in-fighting at all. His only concern was appeasing Master Yi's anger. Hearing Mao Yi say this, Lu Qingshan's cold eyes fell upon Mao Lin.

"So the mastermind is you?"

Hearing this, Mao Lin's face was ghastly white and lifeless. He knew today he was doomed. Raising his unwilling eyes to look at Lu Qingshan, his hoarse voice said, "If I guess right, you are the Qingshan Sect's Lu Qingshan?"

Lu Qingshan didn't speak, but his eyes remained icy cold.

Mao Lin lowered his head.

He could see now that this was Qingshan Sect mobilizing all their power to attack his small Pingjiang Business.

He just couldn't understand why, with just a small fry like Yi Feng, it elicited such a huge reaction, even making Lu Qingshan personally take action and mobilize the entire sect.

"Just who is he?"

Unable to resist, he gritted his teeth and asked the question in his heart.

Lu Qingshan revealed a disdainful smile and coldly said, "Although a worthless thing like you is not qualified to know the master's identity, I can let you die with understanding."

"Not only is he my, Lu Qingshan's, and the Qingshan Sect's life-saving benefactor, he is also the senior I most respect. He concealed his cultivation to experience life among the common people in this small city. Yet you, a trashy bastard, almost crippled his disciple..."

"Don't you deserve death?"

"Doesn't your Pingjiang Business deserve destruction?"

Lu Qingshan's words were like thunder exploding in Mao Lin's mind. His eyes wide open, filled with deep disbelief.

That line, "concealed his cultivation to experience life among the common people," kept echoing in his mind.

So he was...

"What's more, you were most blind in that the master gave you many chances. If you had seized even the slightest opportunity, you could have surpassed countless others with his favor. But you were blind!" Lu Qingshan mercilessly ridiculed him. Clearly, he had long grasped a thorough understanding of Pingjiang Business.

"Pfft!"

Lu Qingshan's words directly struck Mao Lin's sorest spot. In anger, he spit up another mouthful of blood.

Who's to say it wasn't true?

He originally had the opportunity to cooperate with him and establish a good relationship.

But he had ruined it himself!

Hate!

Regret!

"Things have come to this, go die. Be more open-eyed in your next life."

Lu Qingshan no longer had the patience to bother with Mao Lin. With a light cover of his palm, massive pressure crushed down.

Under this pressure, Mao Lin's meridians ruptured, his organs shaken to pieces. Staring wide-eyed, he fell to the ground.

"Congratulations Master for slaying the culprit!" At the side, Mao Yi madly shouted, "So Master, you can spare me now!"

"Humph!"

"You deserve death even more!"

Lu Qingshan coldly snorted, glancing at him disdainfully. With a slap, Mao Yi didn't even have the chance to beg for mercy before being slapped into pieces.

His cold gaze didn't even look at them again before shifting to the three martial spirits.

"It's your turn."

The three martial spirits revealed fearful expressions, threatening, "If you dare touch us, the Beitian Gang will not let you off."

"Oh?"

Lu Qingshan's expression darkened. He directly squeezed one to death.

"You actually dare kill us?" Seeing their companion die, the other two madly shouted, "Don't think our Beitian Gang is as simple as it looks. We guarantee every single one of your Qingshan Sect members will die without intact corpses."

"Noisy."

Lu Qingshan pushed out two palms, directly taking the lives of the two.

"Hahaha..."

But just as Lu Qingshan began to relax, three wisps of blue smoke floated out from their corpses.

"You can't kill us. If you have the guts come to Beitian Gang and find us. We'll be waiting for you, hahaha..."

The voices faded away as the three wisps of smoke vanished in an instant.

"Damn it!"

Lu Qingshan's expression drastically changed. He wanted to pursue them but there was no trace. He never imagined the three had such secret arts!

"Yin Xiong,"

Lu Qingshan hurriedly called out.

"Here."

Yin Xiong stood at the ready.

"Bring Mao Lin's head to the master. I must pursue and kill these three!" Lu Qingshan ordered.

"Yes, but how should we deal with the unrelated members of Pingjiang Business?" Yin Xiong respectfully asked.

"Capture them first, don't let anyone slip away. Then ask the master. If master says to spare them they live, if master says kill them they die!" Lu Qingshan said in a deep voice after slight consideration.

"Understood!"

Yin Xiong hurried to carry out the orders.

Having dealt with Pingjiang Business, Lu Qingshan's gloomy expression led the eighteen protectors towards Beitian Gang.

He had been considering whether it would be too rash to attack Beitian Gang just for these three people, as their misdeeds may not involve the entire gang.

But now it seemed he had to pay Beitian Gang a visit.

Among other things, he had to end these three lives.
