Chapter 80: Disintegration

  "What?"

  As soon as Ye Wen's voice fell, the Zhengquan Gate side immediately burst into an uproar. As for Ye Wen's request, it can be said that these people from Zhengquan Gate had not expected it at all. They had anticipated that Ye Wen would make some outrageous demands, but this kind of demand...

  Most of the people present also knew about Ye Wen's past conflicts with Zhengquanmen, and even if they didn't know, as Ye Wen's reputation grew on Shu Shan, they had all heard a rough idea from others.

  Zhengquanmen once sent Zhang Gui to destroy Ye Wen's sect, and even severely injured Ye Wen. This matter is almost universally known.

  Now the wind and water have turned, after more than two years of hard work, Ye Wen has turned over a new leaf. Not only has he re-established the Shu Shan Sect, but he has also severely injured Wang Shu, known as the number one master of Book Mountain, forcing Zhengquanmen to use hidden weapons to launch a sneak attack, which ultimately backfired.

  And he even said that the Zhengquan Gate would treat itself as it treated its own, which means to destroy the Zhengquan Gate? Tear down someone's sign and take over all the industries under their door?

  "Yè Wén! Don't be ungrateful, taking advantage of the situation!" At this time, Shǐ Cuī was secretly lamenting his bad luck. He happened to be standing in front of all the sect members, and with Sect Leader Wáng Shū severely injured and Zhāng Guì having caused dissatisfaction among the sect members, he was now the only one unscathed and holding the highest position. At this moment, he had no choice but to step forward and show his stance.

  His words were full of momentum, but his expression was as if he had eaten a bitter melon, without any air of momentum at all. This made Ye Wen almost laugh out loud. But for now, it was the crucial moment of their conversation, and laughing would not be appropriate, so he held back and said: "You're talking about making progress by inches? Today you led your men to force their way into my mountain gate, I didn't kill all of you to show off the power of our Shu Mountain Sect just because of neighborly courtesy. What's this nonsense about making progress by inches?"

  "Besides, your school still wants to secretly harm people. If I didn't have a few lifesaving moves, I'm afraid I would be the one who's dead by now. Not killing you directly is already being merciful, so who doesn't know what's good for them?"

  This remark made the Zhengquan Gate crowd speechless, and finally Shi Cui hesitated for half a day before saying: "The sneak attack was that kid's personal doing, it has nothing to do with the Zhengquan Gate... At this time, that kid had already been eliminated by Mr. Ye, and the matter is settled!"

  After saying this, Shi Cui also felt that the words were not quite right, but at the moment, he really couldn't think of a suitable excuse, so he could only push all the blame out first. Anyway, that guy was already dead, and it didn't matter if there was more or less blame. On the other hand, these living people could still save their lives in this way.

  But little did he know, as soon as Shu Cui spoke these words, Wang Shu, who was standing behind him, felt his blood churning and suddenly spat out another mouthful of blood. It was because Wang Shu thought that as soon as Shu Cui spoke these words, the Zhengquan Gate would immediately collapse, and even if they managed to save the gate's reputation today, it would be hard to avoid a split into four or five factions.

  Wang Shu's guess was not wrong, and after Shi Cui said this, most of the Zhengquanmen disciples felt a chill in their hearts. Many even had thoughts of leaving Zhengquanmen. Because they found that in the eyes of these masters, they seemed to be just something that could be discarded at any time, once they were no longer useful, they could be thrown away at any time to protect their own lives.

  After all, that disciple secretly attacked Ye Wen, and must have received the master's instructions. Otherwise, how dare a disciple be so blatant and use hidden weapons to attack in broad daylight? But now, not only did the sneak attack fail, but he also lost his life. In an instant, the door executive will wash their hands of this matter, leaving the black pot for that one disciple to carry alone. Everyone who thinks about it feels a chill in their hearts.

  Everyone present also felt that Shui's words were really too excessive. Originally, some people had a good impression of Zhengquanmen and even wanted to join Zhengquanmen, but they changed their minds. Some people even felt lucky that Zhengquanmen didn't accept them in the first place.

  "This kind of sect is actually the first sect of Shushan, it's really a shame for me in Shushan!"

  This gradually spread from the crowd, and Strui also realized that he had made a big mistake this time. In fact, Zhang Gui wanted to stop him just now, but thinking of his current situation, he didn't speak out in the end.

  "What's the use of speaking out? Can it restore the reputation of Zhengfengmen?"

  Zhengquanmen stirred up trouble today, got beaten and humiliated, and even used hidden weapons to launch a sneak attack, but still failed. After the incident, they shifted all the blame onto their disciple's personal behavior. Although they managed to escape punishment on the surface, everyone knows the truth in their hearts. Even if there is no evidence now, nobody will really believe that it was just a personal matter.

  Zhengquan Gate's reputation has been completely lost, and the signboard that was built up with great difficulty was destroyed in an instant. Even if Ye Wen didn't want it, this school would probably not be able to continue operating anyway.

  Ye Wen also knew this, and after a moment of silent contemplation, he waved his hand: "In that case, you will transfer all the industries under your Zhengquan Gate to the Shushan Sect, consider it as the price for sparing your lives!"

  Shi Cui wanted to say more, but Zhang Gui secretly pulled on his clothes, stopping him from speaking. Wang Shu took a deep breath and replied with the help of his disciples: "Thank you, Ye Zhangmen, for your generosity. The various industries under our school will be handed over to the Shushan Sect soon!"

  He panted for a moment before continuing: "Farewell!"

  Having said that, Ye Wen also had no intention of stopping him, and turned to leave with his own disciples from the Shu Shan Sect. As they reached the gate, he still hesitated slightly, fearing that those two extraordinary martial arts practitioners among the Shu Shan disciples would suddenly launch a sneak attack - today, apart from Ye Wen making a big show, these two disciples also revealed their faces, one of whom was Xu Ping, who some people knew, while the other had never been heard of before.

  *sigh*...

  Wang Shu thought of this and knew that he had underestimated the Shu Mountain Sect after all, only to realize today that they were not on the same level as him after suffering a lot.

  When the two men opened the gate and stepped aside, Wang Shu led the crowd to leave. Many of the various sects that had followed Zhengfengmen up the mountain saw that the leader of Zhengfengmen had left, and one by one they also departed. Some bid farewell to Ye Wen with a fist, while others snuck away with their heads down, and some were indecisive and didn't know what to think.

  But the footsteps under their feet were not slow, and even those with hesitant expressions quickly disappeared from view. In just a short while, the Shu Shan Sect had returned to calm.

  Everyone left cleanly, but Ye Wen still didn't move. Ning Ruxue and many disciples walked up to him and patted him: "Senior brother, what are you still standing there looking at?"

  Who would have thought that Ning Ruxue's casual shot would cause Ye Wen's body to sway, and he barely managed to steady himself, wryly saying: "Sister, go easy!"

  This startled Ning Ruxue, and she even looked at her own palm in a daze: "I didn't use any force!" However, she immediately realized that it was not her doing, but rather Ye Wen's body had a problem.

  "Big brother, are you hurt?"

  As soon as the words came out, the disciples of Shu Shan Sect were tense for a moment. They thought that someone had just made a sneak attack on their leader during the fight between Ye Wen and Wang Shu, after all, Ye Wen was not hit by Wang Shu at that time, so it was impossible for him to be injured at that time.

  Ye Wen waved his hand: "First help me back to my room, then we'll talk!" He also instructed a disciple beside him: "Go and deal with the corpse of that poisoned Right Fist Sect disciple!"

  Two disciples exchanged a glance, one of them asked: "Excuse me, Master, how should we deal with this corpse?"

  "Send the Right Fist Gate back! Whether they burn or bury, it's up to them, we don't have that idle energy to do that!" After finishing, Ning Ruxue supported him and went to the back of the Door Sect.

  All the disciples except Xu Ping and that one who opened the door with him followed Ye Wen, dispersing to various places of their respective sects. This was partly to prevent any outsiders from lingering behind, but also to guard against Zhengquanmen coming back to launch a sneak attack on Shushanpai!

  Back in the room, Ye Wen sat cross-legged on the kang, took a few deep breaths and seemed to regain his composure. He opened his eyes to see everyone staring at him anxiously, so he forced a reassuring smile and said: "What are you looking at? I'm fine!"

  Ning Ruxue saw Ye Wen speaking and hastily asked: "Big brother, how did you get injured? Was someone ambushing in secret? Or..." As she spoke, Ning Ruxue suddenly thought of yesterday's events. She suspected that the remaining poison in her big brother's body had not been fully cleared, resulting in the poison breaking out when he fought with someone.

  Ye Wen naturally knew what Ning Ruxue was referring to and shook his head: "No!"

  "Why is that?"

  At this time, the old Taoist priest Liu Qingfeng, who had been silent all along, spoke up and said: "Ye Zhangmen is too rash!"

  Everyone heard the words and was puzzled, only Ye Wen bitterly smiled and nodded: "But it's too rash!" At the same time, he secretly thought: "Alas! The inner strength has been overused, this internal skill really can't be used recklessly!"

  It turned out that Ye Wenyun used the Purple Mist Divine Art to force out his body's energy to block the hidden weapons, and even exploded his internal energy to counterattack. Although it looked very cool and powerful, it put enormous pressure on his meridians. With Ye Wenyun's current cultivation level, doing this was really too strenuous. The true energy that burst out directly injured his meridians and many acupoints. If not for the fact that the Purple Mist Divine Art had some nourishing effects, and wasn't a tyrannical and fierce true energy, Ye Wenyun would probably be crippled by now.

  In fact, the Purple Mist Technique can be used in this way, but it also requires his cultivation to go further, preferably after practicing until he is close to achieving great success. At that time, the meridians throughout his body have become very tough under the long-term nourishment of strong and powerful true energy, and they have also adapted to the Purple Mist True Energy, so it will not cause any damage to his body.

  As for now, Ye Wen has just barely mastered it, doing so would be too dangerous.

  The master's sister, who was originally full of anxiety, suddenly had an angry expression: "Master brother, how can you be so reckless? In order to show off, you actually did that dangerous thing?"

  Ye Wen smiled wryly: "Originally wanted to intimidate the villains, but the consequences were unexpectedly severe!"

  However, Ye Wen's actions indeed made the people of Shu Mountain no longer dare to look straight at the Shu Mountain Sect. Some guys who had evil intentions in their hearts also quickly put away their wicked thoughts! From this point on, Ye Wen's goal was indeed achieved.

  It was originally intended to take advantage of the situation to destroy Zhengquanmen, but due to unexpected changes, it can only be temporarily delayed for some time.

  "But from today onwards, it's likely that Zhengfeng will be unable to turn over a new leaf!"
