Chapter 654: The King of Hell Walks Alone
After watching the Huangliang Youhai completely submerge the ridiculous and distorted dream, Zou Sijiu withdrew from the Huangliang and shook his head at Li Jun who was standing in front of him.

"It's an empty nest. Everyone has run away."

"Impossible, I'm telling the truth. That is really the headquarters of the Spring and Autumn Society in Huangliang. It is the prototype of the Confucian state that Yan Dongqing personally built for himself. He clearly summoned the backbone members of the Spring and Autumn Society to gather there, how could there be no one there?"

A howl of despair suddenly rose up.

The Confucian scholar Wu Jiang, who had been bowing to the sky in the Zhenlu Court and pretending to offer sacrifices to the spirit of Xu Haichao in heaven, now collapsed to the ground as if his spine had been pulled out.

"It was Yan Dongqing. He must have known my identity, so he deliberately transferred me to Liaodong. Now he asked Zhao Ke to give me false information. He deceived me and he wants to kill me."

Wu Jiang's face was pale and he was muttering to himself.

"Isn't it a little too late for you to realize it now?"

Zou Sijiu slowly squatted down in front of Wu Jiang, reached out and grabbed the other's hair, and directed his frightened gaze to a towering aristocratic mansion in the distance.

The night above the building was like a deep ocean, with a huge figure lurking in it.

Whoosh! !

The sound of tearing cloth filled the air, followed by a blinding fire that suddenly exploded on the top of the valve tower, illuminating half of Quzhou City.

boom!
An angry dragon penetrated the entire building from top to bottom, and the violent explosion swallowed up everything in the building.

The spreading aftermath, with bursts of hot air, traveled a distance of several miles and hit Wu Jiang's face heavily.

A pair of eyes that were illuminated in a fiery red reflected a huge deep pit and the debris and ashes all over the ground.

hold head high! !

The black-riding whale hovering in the sky let out a loud whale roar.

Chen Qisheng stood at the edge of the pit with an indifferent expression on his face. He raised his hand and called back the group of Zhenwu heroes who had been sent out to block the door.

"Master Zou, I really can't figure it out. Why are you, the Confucian Rank 3 members of the Spring and Autumn Society, so useless? You are even worse than those soldiers who climbed up the ranks by relying on mechanical hearts. Or are you also garbage mass-produced by the Zhu family using the imperial power?"

Zou Sijiu looked at Wu Jiang, whose mind was broken and eyes were dull, and couldn't help but spit at him.

After learning what happened in Zhenlu Court, he and Chen Qisheng immediately set out from the East Courtyard.

According to the information provided by the New Donglin Party, a member of the Spring and Autumn Society named Wu Jiang was successfully captured in Quzhou Prefecture.

The whole process took place without any decent resistance. By the time Li Jun arrived, Zou Sijiu had already dragged Wu Jiang into a dream and had completely taken out his internal organs.

Naturally, I also know the relationship between him and the Ming royal family.

"I can understand that the Zhu family is a shady business, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and even a rotten boat still has three thousand nails. But with your character and brain, how dare you put on a disguise and play a double-faced man between the little emperor and Yan Dongqing? Wu Jiang, you are really a fool."

"I am not overestimating my own capabilities, but what about you? You are just bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. What qualifications do you have to shout here?"

Wu Jiang, who had already anticipated his own ending, was filled with fear and was replaced by intense resentment.

He smiled contemptuously at Zou Sijiu, turned his head to look at Li Jun with cold eyes, and said sarcastically: "Spring and Autumn Society, Liu Tao, Hong Hu, and their real masters, the Zhu Ming royal family, are you willing to provoke them for a dead sect Wu Xu? Can you afford the price? Do you dare?"

"It seems that you are indeed hopeless."

Zou Sijiu said with a tut-tut sound: "Don't worry, none of those people you just mentioned can escape. You just left one step ahead of them."

Pfft!

As soon as the words fell, a sharp force quietly attacked, piercing through the back of Wu Jiang's head, and poking a thumb-sized hole between his eyebrows, from which sticky filth gushed out.

Wu Jiang's body fell on his back with a thud, his eyes still wide open, as if he died with his eyes open.

[Get 40 mastery points]

[72 mastery points remaining]

Li Jun glanced at the words that appeared, raised his hand and tapped lightly, and the condensed force of the collapse rushed down, crushing Wu Jiang's body into a piece of rotten flesh and blood, mixing it into the dust.

Zou Sijiu had anticipated this and dodged a step ahead to avoid the splattered blood.

He looked at Li Jun with an expressionless face and couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.

Except for the night when Su Ce died in Edo Castle in the Japanese area, he had not seen such a strong and violent murderous intent emanating from Li Jun for a long time.

Even when it was in the foreign land, it was far less captivating than it is now, and people dare not look directly at it.

"Hasn't the New Donglin Party sent any news about Yan Dongqing yet?"

Hearing Li Jun's question, Zou Sijiu nodded: "Not yet. But this is normal. If the other party is not stupid, he must have hidden himself by now. It may not be so easy to find him."

"What about the rest?"

"Yang Bai Ze has sent us the intelligence about the Spring and Autumn Society that they have. He took over some of the insignificant members. The remaining three core members, whose families are aristocratic, are currently in the Northern Zhili area."

Zou Sijiu said: "Should we go after them one by one? Or should we go directly to the master behind them?"

Li Jun did not answer, but suddenly turned and faced north.

Zou Sijiu frowned upon seeing this, and a sense of warning suddenly crossed his mind. A few strands of his shiny hair that were sticking to his scalp turned red.

I saw the space ten feet away inexplicably distorted, and a figure slowly emerged from the ripples.

Suddenly, the warning in Zou Sijiu's heart rose and magnified, and it even tended to turn into panic, which was difficult to suppress.

Zheng!
A flying sword came rushing over and hovered three feet above Zou Sijiu's head.

Chen Qisheng stood with his sword on his side, staring at the other party with his eyes fixed. His true energy was as powerful as boiling soup, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

The man did not look young. He had noticeable white hair on his temples, sharp eyebrows and a high nose. His grey eyes had a fierce look that kept strangers away. There was also a hint of arrogance and indifference that looked down on everything, hidden deep in his eyes but still difficult to conceal.

Boom!
A human head fell heavily in front of Li Jun. After rolling several times, it turned face up, and a pair of dead eyes looked directly at him.

Li Jun recognized the owner of the head at a glance. It was the Honghu member who appeared in Zhenlu Court that day.

Yu Fu.

"Jin Wei, Wu Jiang, Yu Fu, in addition to the three who have already died, the ones who attacked you that day also included Liang Gongming from Longhu Mountain and Zhao Yin from the East Palace."

The man spoke slowly, and his voice and tone were, as expected, extremely stiff.

"Those two men cannot die for now. But I can promise you that when the time is right, I will personally hand over their heads, including Yan Dongqing, to you."

The sharp force and collapse force in Li Jun's body were stimulated and flowed out of his body as if provoked. Countless invisible sharp blades cut the ground under Li Jun's feet, cutting a series of interlaced fine gaps, and then were flattened by the heavy pressure of the collapse, repeating the cycle.

"Surname Zhu?"

"Zhu Pingxu." The man spoke bluntly.

"It turns out he is a prince."

"I'm not a prince, just a member of the Zhu family."

Zhu Pingxu said, "I was not strict enough in controlling my subordinates in the matter of Zhenlu Court, so I came here to apologize to you. If you are willing to stop, in addition to these heads, I can also give up the three prefectures as the base of Tianque, and provide you with a batch of injectors, which are enough for you to restore and rebuild three Tianque."

Zou Sijiu and Chen Qisheng, who were standing at the back ready for battle, couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this.

The price offered by the other party is very tempting.

A place that can be called a basic base means that there are a large number of people living there, and their genes are not fixed and locked.

In other words, only when it is not contaminated by the sectarian sequences of the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism can it serve as the soil for the development of Wuxu.

But in the current Ming Empire, where else can there be such a "clean" three-prefecture land? No need to think too much, it can only be the territory that once belonged to the Han Buddhist order.

Moreover, it must have undergone a brutal purge, and the people's belief in the Buddhist order has been completely eradicated.

To achieve this, the other party has invested countless manpower and material resources.

As for the injector, its importance to Wu Xu is self-evident.

Moreover, with the demise of the martial arts order of the sects, injectors became increasingly scarce within the Ming Empire, and as one was used, there were fewer and fewer.

When Li Jun was trapped in Xin'an, Yang Bai Ze even used Pei Xingjian's name to cheat in order to collect injectors. This shows that martial arts injectors have become increasingly scarce.

This can be said to be the biggest dilemma facing the lone Wuxu today.

Even if there are related technical methods in the ink sequence that can make injectors, there are only a few high-ranking lone suppliers in the entire empire, and they are generally unruly, so there is no need to expect them to do such selfless things.

The martial arts infuser is the most precious legacy left by the sect for Wu Xu. Without these things, Du Xing Wu Xu can only practice martial arts step by step on his own. Adding the already difficult promotion rituals, it will undoubtedly make the situation worse.

Although the batch of injectors provided by the other party cannot fundamentally solve the problem, it is particularly important if Li Jun wants to win over other independent martial arts orders and establish his own power.

But if lone men also need to band together to form a force, then what is the difference between them and a destroyed sect?
Li Jun showed no interest in Zhu Pingxu's offer. He just said indifferently: "From what you said, are you going to handle this matter by yourself?"

"Now that the demise of Wuxu is a fact, there is no point in judging right and wrong. I just want to say that we didn't want to see Jiang Wei die, and disturbing Su Ce's rest is not what we want."

Zhu Pingxu did not answer Li Jun directly, but said: "The instigator of all this is Yan Dongqing. The Spring and Autumn Society, the Six Strategies, and the Honghu were all deliberately dragged into the water by him."

Li Jun interrupted him: "What do you mean? Speak more clearly."

"I hope you can take your people back to the East Courtyard now and stop attacking the Chunqiu Society. Of course, I will not let anyone who is related to Yan Dongqing go, and I will definitely give you an explanation."

Zhu Pingxu continued to speak, "Li Jun, you should think about it carefully. Yan Dongqing, as the head of the Spring and Autumn Society, has been able to endure under the shadow of the New Donglin Party for so many years. How could he be so desperate and choose to fight you to the death just for Xu Haichao?"

"From the beginning, his purpose was not to avenge Xu Haichao. The things involved are a hundred times more complicated than you think. I know you have no intention of competing for the throne, so I hope you don't get involved."

"Everyone says this is a mess, that there are complicated ways around it, that I can't wade through this river and can't see the people involved. In fact, to put it bluntly, it's all just to complete the ritual of breaking the lock and advancing to the rank. Why the hell am I pretending to be so profound?"

Li Jun sneered with disdain: "What basic base, injector, I don't care about any of them. Yan Dongqing used Xu Haichao as a cover, but I am not. I killed people only to avenge Jiang Wei and apologize to Mr. Su!"

"The Spring and Autumn Society is going to be uprooted, and no one can stop it. Not only you, but also the emperor behind you. If he is not satisfied, I don't mind going to Northern Zhili to help old man Zhang find someone else to be his student!"

Li Jun's eyes were as sharp as knives, pointing directly at Zhu Pingxu.

"Do you understand what I said?"

"They are indeed a group of unruly people who deserve to die."

Zhu Pingxu was silent for a moment, and the arrogance and indifference in his eyes that looked down on everyone was no longer hidden and jumped out.

"Li Jun, is it that the demise of Wuxu sect didn't alert you, or do you think you can protect the two of them and the Moxu East Courtyard by yourself?"

The night wind suddenly died down and thunder rumbled.

A black and red lightning suddenly appeared out of nowhere, filling Zhu Pingxu's vision.

boom!
The flesh and blood fist and the steel mechanical bone collided violently, and the pouring force shot out in all directions.

The spreading aftermath scattered the Zhenwu heroic spirits around Chen Qisheng, and at the same time tore apart the dream that Zou Sijiu had quietly opened in the dark.

Zhu Pingxu's right arm was shattered by the sharp force, followed by his arm, head, and torso.
The fine mechanical body powder, as fine as dust, floated in the air and condensed into a vague human figure. A red mechanical heart hovered at the heart, and Zhu Pingxu's calm voice came out from it.

"Li Jun, you are far from being invincible in this empire. Now that I have passed on my message, it is up to you to choose whether to listen or not. But I still have one last piece of advice for you. Don't be too arrogant. Don't forget that there are always people better than you."

The scarlet mechanical heart emitted an extremely sharp buzzing sound and began to tremble at a high speed as if it could not bear the burden, with cracks spreading rapidly.

The sudden change happened in just a moment. Facing this mechanical heart that was about to explode, Li Jun remained expressionless. He actually reached out and grabbed it, leaned over and stabbed it hard into the ground, all the way to his shoulders.

boom!
Just like a dragon turning over, with Li Jun as the center, the ground within a radius of ten feet suddenly rose several feet, and countless smoke and dust rose into the sky.

Golden-red flames gushed out from the cracked gullies, and the scorching air waves and dazzling flames made the world seem as bright as day under the scorching sun.

Dirt and gravel fell like rain, and white smoke billowed out from the scorching hot soil, catching the slowly descending dust.

Li Jun slowly stood up, his naked skin was all red, and the tip of his fist was covered with mottled bloodstains solidified by the high temperature.

"Brother Jun."

Chen Qisheng brought Zou Sijiu down from mid-air, and saw Zou Sijiu speaking anxiously: "We just received news that the Eastern Branch was attacked. The damage was not great, it should be just a warning from the other side."

"As expected, birds of a feather flock together. We all like to take advantage of others' weaknesses and do ruthless things to them. Well, since you like to play this kind of game, then let's go and have some fun!"

Li Jun looked at the two of them and said, "You and Mo Qijing should return to the East Courtyard now and take care of the house."

Chen Qisheng was startled: "What about you?"

"This time."

Black and red arcs of electricity danced around his body, reflecting a pair of eyes that were filled with ferocity and expectation.

"I walk alone!"
