Chapter 19: Purgatory on Earth
"So, from the very beginning... you weren't prepared to let me destroy the city?" In the west of the city, the houses around the city gate were in ruins. Yang Chong sat on a collapsed window sill and spat out bloody phlegm. He looked up at Lu Xuan.

He thought of Lu Xuan's previous explanation. He didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now that he thought about it, Lu Xuan had clearly arranged all this.

"This is the fastest way I can think of to break the city. I..." Lu Xuan nodded and wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Yang Chong.

"You saved my life. Yang Chong is here today only because of your help. Don't mention this matter again. In fact, it's better to lie to me." Yang Chong spit out his breath and looked at Lu Xuan He smiled bitterly.

There must be resentment.

In order to break the city, he risked his life to fight with the county guards of Sanyang County. In the end, he only attracted the enemy's troops. As a good brother, Lu Xuan gave the power of breaking the city to others. How did he feel? Maybe there is no grudge at all.

"You are my brother, a life-and-death friendship. I am not a good person, but I will not lie to my own people. If I tell you this in advance, it will be easy for others to see it, and Guo Chang will not take the elite around him. Come out." Lu Xuan sat next to him and sighed.

Guo Chang's strength was damaged. Even after breaking the city, for the sake of the balance of the people below, he would not deal with Lu Xuan at will.

If Lu Xuan ran away at this time, it would not be a good thing for Guo Chang.

Although he did not want to see Lu Xuan and was very afraid of Lu Xuan, Guo Chang also knew that Lu Xuan was the only one who could take the overall situation into consideration among his group of commanders. When he was unable to suppress these commanders with his own strength, Lu Xuan would If they are forced to leave, Sanyang County will really become a mess.

This was also the reason why he endured the loss of a large number of elites despite knowing that Lu Xuan had plotted against him. It was not just because he was afraid of Lu Xuan's personal strength.

Lu Xuan came to him as soon as he broke through the city, which made Yang Chong feel better. Hearing what Lu Xuan said, he stood up and said, "I'm a rough man. I can't even write my name now. How about you and me?" Ah Chao is very smart, as long as you don’t dislike me for being incompetent, Yang Chong is willing to stay with you for the rest of his life.”

"Let's go. Although the first step is not yours, you can win this battle because you have made great achievements. It's your turn. It's indispensable to go and see the master's methods." Lu Xuan stood up and hugged his shoulders and smiled.

Chaos broke out in the city. The rebels rushed into the city like hungry wolves. They grabbed everything they saw and pounced on women when they saw them. They were no different from bandits, or even worse than bandits.

The entire Sanyang County was filled with howls and shrill roars.

Many people took up arms to resist. The power of the imperial court has been eliminated, but the resistance of the people in the city has not stopped.

A disheveled woman staggered out of the dilapidated room. The moment she saw Lu Xuan and his party, her eyes showed a look of despair. Behind her were several laughing rebels. After seeing Lu Xuan and his party, Stop quickly.

"You're blocking the way!" Lu Xuan glanced at the woman, his eyes became cold, and without saying a word, he pulled out the sword from his waist and stabbed the woman in the chest.

A flash of relief flashed in the woman's eyes, and she followed Lu Xuan to draw out the sword and fell softly in front of Lu Xuan.

"Lu... Lu Dutong." Several rebels did not dare to express their anger when facing Lu Xuan.

"Get out!" Lu Xuan led everyone towards the city without even looking at them.

Lu Chao couldn't help but clenched his fists and turned to look at Lu Xuan: "Brother... is this the reason for the Guiyi Sect's uprising?"

He knew why Lu Xuan did this. If this woman continued to live, she would face a hell worse than death. Of course Lu Xuan could save her, but there were countless similar encounters in this city, and they couldn't save her.

But this is definitely not the world Lu Chao wants to see. Isn't the original intention of the rebels to save the people from fire and water?Why is it now pushing the people into a deeper abyss?
"It may have been the original intention, but it was no longer the case after the uprising started. The Guiyi Sect's uprising was too hasty and the personnel were mixed. In this environment, even good people will slowly become like this." Lu Xuan sighed.

"Why?" Lu Chao clenched his fists: "Have they never thought that they were like this before?"

"If you don't rob, others will. Those who kill and set fire will get fat and have fun with women. Those who stick to the bottom line can only starve. You have also experienced the feeling of starvation. In this situation, how many people can Hold the bottom line?" Lu Xuan's mouth was a bit sarcastic. "Is there no way to solve it?" Yang Chong frowned. He felt uncomfortable with this scene.

"Yes, but not." Lu Xuan nodded, then shook his head.

"What do you mean?" Yang Chong and Lu Chao looked at Lu Xuan in confusion.

"The best way is to rectify military discipline. This is also good for the Guiyi Sect itself and can win the hearts of the people faster, but it cannot be done." Lu Xuan sighed, which is why he is not optimistic about the Guiyi Sect.

The foundation of the Guiyi Sect's uprising is public support, but now this foundation is rapidly crumbling.

"Why can't it be done?" Lu Chao asked puzzled.

"No one, no time." Lu Xuan said: "To do this, first of all, the commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief should set an example. The biggest problem of Guiyi Sect is here. I have not seen other commander-in-chief, but Guo Chang and you all Have you ever seen him do such a thing?"

"As for time, the imperial court will not give the Guiyi Sect this time. Just watch, the imperial court's counterattack will come soon."

Yang Chong and Lu Chao thought about Guo Chang's appearance, and suddenly felt a little despair in their hearts. Is there really a future for Guiyi Sect?

Along the way, there was murder, robbery, and prostitution everywhere. Those rebels who usually looked pitiful and skinny seemed to have turned into demons in an instant after entering the city, bringing endless sin to the city.

The scary thing is that this sin will last for a long time.

Lu Xuan led his people to take control of the city's treasury first. In troubled times, food is always hard currency.

"Lu Dutong, Commander-in-Chief, please go to the Yamen." A security guard hurriedly came to Lu Xuan and saluted Lu Xuan.

"What's the matter?" Lu Xuan asked with a frown.

"The Commander-in-Chief said that we need to pay homage to the Heavenly Master. No matter what we are doing, we must go." The tone of the Skitarii was unexpectedly tough.

"I know, I'll go later." Lu Xuan nodded.

"Farewell!" The Skitarii apparently wanted to find other commanders. The city was now in chaos and no one knew where they were, so Guo Chang sent many people out to look for them.

"Let's go and see the Heavenly Master." Lu Xuan looked at Yang Chong and Lu Chao who were standing aside.

For the Celestial Master, these governors did not have much sense of awe before. After all, for them, the Celestial Master was just like the Son of Heaven, too far away.

However, this time when the city was broken, the phantom of the Celestial Master bowed in the distance outside the city. After worshiping the green energy of Sanyang County to protect the city, the image of the Celestial Master became clear in the hearts of all the rebels.

That unfathomable ability is even more awe-inspiring.

The generals may not care about other things, but no one will disobey the matter of worshiping the Heavenly Master.
