Chapter 149: 103, 104. Flip the table and lay out my chessboard (Big Chapter - Asking for Subscriptions)_5

Zhao Hua nodded repeatedly, his expression unchanged, showing deep agreement, and then added, "If not for Five and a Half Hall, the people of the Northern lands wouldn’t suffer so much. It’s all Five and a Half Hall’s fault."

Ouyang Sha: ???

He genuinely didn’t understand.

"Third brother, why do you say this?"

Zhao Hua said, "Big brother, isn’t it obvious?

Five and a Half Hall collaborates with Ghost Servants, and Ghost Servants are the source of all calamities, so... Five and a Half Hall is also the source of all calamities.

How many people from the Northern lands have died, or even from the Barbarian Tribes? Weren’t all these caused by Ghost Servants? So... it’s equivalent to having been caused by Five and a Half Hall too."

Song Cheng praised, "Third brother, your words make a lot of sense."

Sense?

Where’s the sense?!

Ouyang Sha’s lips moved slightly, he wanted to argue, but then he thought about how one shouldn’t argue with family, so he closed his mouth again.

There were four people present, and "Old Venom," though he used poison,

perhaps... he was the one with the purest heart.

...

...

Several days later...

One by one, bits of information were frantically circulated all over Hanping Prefecture.

And because of human relations, as soon as Six Towns got wind of the news, they also defaulted to accepting it, even finding it reasonable.

The entire Northern Region was shocked.

The Five and a Half Hall’s upper echelons in Northern Snow State had Ghost Servants. To annihilate the Northern lands, they had even dispatched an extremely terrifying invisible Ghost Servant to assassinate the Blade King of the Northern lands.

Forty years ago, Mrs. Pearl Mountain of Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple also had her family and loved ones brutally killed by them, and now they were still trying to sow discord.

The sudden rise of the Ghost Tide was also secretly manipulated by Five and a Half Hall.

Scholars and writers lambasted the group with words sharp as swords.

Among them, the testimony of the Five and a Half Hall’s Hall Master "Sky-Thundering Roar" Cao Sujun provided the definitive "tone" for the situation.

...

...

Regardless of the chaos outside, Song Cheng didn’t care.

He came before a young man and a young woman.

The young man looked frail, somewhat sickly, making it hard to believe he was actually the offspring of the Great Barbarian King, but... it was indeed true.

The young woman, on the contrary, looked bold and uninhibited, full of spunk, wearing red riding boots, dressed in a bright-colored martial outfit. When Song Cheng called for her, she was still horseback archery.

These two were the hostages sent by the Barbarian King.

The former had not yet entered the Force Realm, the latter had just stepped into the Form Realm.

"Greetings to the Blade King."

"So you are the Blade King? So young!"

"Biye, do not be rude."

"What do you care, in our house, aren’t you the only one who is always sick?"

No sooner had the young man and woman started talking than they began to argue.

Song Cheng watched the two, slowly, slowly... wisps of energy spread out from around him, and that robust aura unfolded into a giant phantom warrior that was more than two zhang tall in the air.

The terrifying pressure silenced all the insects in the courtyard, and the young man and woman were instantly speechless.

But it was just a momentary press before it dissipated.

"The two of you are fated with me, would you like to become my disciples?" Song Cheng said.

The young woman looked up at the towering giant phantom and was shocked inside: How could it be... it seems even larger than her father’s nine-headed golden lion phantom?

She retorted stubbornly, "Yours is just... big, that’s all..."

Song Cheng scanned the distance and, with an indifferent flick of his hand,

a terrifying blade qi suddenly burst forth, piercing through the hall and the rooms, and struck a target several dozen yards away with precision.

Boom!

The target shattered!

Boom boom boom!

Behind the target, artificial hills and courtyard walls―everything was destroyed.

The ground was like delicate skin crawled over by centipedes, leaving deep, uneven tracks, and the surrounding houses as if hit by an earthquake, suddenly trembled, with beams and pillars rattling.

The girl:...

After a long while, her arrogant and unruly nature subsided, and she said softly, "Yuan Biye... has seen Master."

On the other hand, the frail boy in white smiled and said, "Yuan Shouyu... has seen Master."

As a hostage, what right does he have to be picky and choosy?

Besides, he had long been curious about this Northern Region Blade King who was almost his age.

Seeing him today, he truly is powerful indeed.

...

...

At this moment,

the Barbarian Camp.

Lady Zhushan, wrapped in a heavy robe, had a gloomy expression, yet now, the gloom on her face slightly dissipated.

About half a month ago, she received a letter from Tong Jia.

The letter explained the matter of "Fox Immortal Su."

She, for reasons unknown, became furious, feeling that Tong Jia had betrayed her, Song Cheng had betrayed her.

"Fox Immortal Su" caused the demise of her family; how could there be any misunderstanding in this? A sea of blood and deep hatred, irreconcilable.

She had even persuaded the Barbarian King to prepare to lead some troops to Hanping Prefecture to wake Tong Jia and Song Cheng up, and at the same time, to find the released "Fox Immortal Su" to settle matters.

But at this moment... the unexplained yet seemingly credible information from outside made her hesitate.

"Five and a Half Hall?"

Lady Zhushan fell into thought.

This information, along with what she knew about "Fox Immortal Su leaving the city with a thousand riders to carry a coffin," pressed heavily on the other side of her mental scale, slowly balancing out her original impression.

"Let’s get a clear understanding first."

Lady Zhushan had planned to make a move, but now... she calmed down.

...

...

Six Towns.

They are Divine Martial Town, Mysterious Nether Town, Great Fire Town, Jinye Town, Shuofang Town, Rouyu Town...

Six Towns, where countless sects stood, a place teeming with people of all sorts, each harboring their own schemes, with identities extremely complicated. All kinds of beings could be found there, and the people, hardened by war and the bitter cold of the Northern lands, had become like... evil spirits from hell.

Now, these people were gathered around a table because of this affair.

The dark silhouettes, indistinct faces, the oppressive aura of powerful martial artists.

The whispers finally reached a consensus.

"I agree,"

"I also agree; chaos has arrived, why should we still stay in Six Towns?"

"Doesn’t our strength deserve a better life?"

"The State City has abundant grain and beautiful women; that is where we belong,"

"The old man knows that the negotiations with the Barbarian Tribes were orchestrated by Five and a Half Hall. Since Five and a Half Hall has colluded with the Ghost Servants, it’s perfect for us to... settle the score now,"

"Then... let’s overthrow Five and a Half Hall! Take Northern Snow State City. After so many years, it’s time for us to move to a new place to live."
