Chapter 313: The Massive Black Cauldron
Chapter 313: The Massive Black Cauldron
The headquarters of the Wayward Righteous Sect was in an uproar.
It was understandable for the families from the White Cloud Continent to send their children, but why did those from the White Apple, White Elephant, and White Mist Continents also come? According to statistics, over four thousand had perished. Was it possible that all these deaths were caused by Hai Wuliang?
That was clearly impossible.
Anyone with half a brain would know that even if Hai Wuliang had truly gone mad, he wouldn't be capable of such a feat.
But the enraged crowd wouldn't listen to any explanations.
Moreover, they had gathered in large numbers.
If you said Hai Wuliang was innocent, I'd spit on your face! How could he possibly be innocent?
If he's innocent, then how did my son die?
Even if it was the Guardian Pavilion that killed him, it was still Hai Wuliang who forced them to do it!
Damn you, Hai Wuliang!
And so,
Hai Wuliang became the most hated person at the Wayward Righteous Sect's headquarters.
Since the establishment of the Wayward Righteous Sect, there had never been a single instance, nor a single person, who had managed to garner such hatred at the headquarters.
This was nothing short of a miracle!
Finally, a message was sent out from the headquarters: "The Vice Sect Leader is looking into this matter. Everyone, please return home and await further news. A response will be given."
"We won't go home! We'll wait here... for my son..."
"For my daughter..."
Instantly, a chorus of wailing and crying erupted, and the sound of grief seemed contagious as thousands upon thousands joined in the lament.
Heaven wailed, and the earth sobbed.
Dark clouds gathered, and a powerful and fierce aura emerged as Yan Nan spoke: "I have said that I am handling this matter. What else could you possibly be worried about?"
With the Vice Sect Leader's assurance, the crowd gradually dispersed.
But this matter was far from over.
...
As Hai Wuliang pondered his next move, the Five Spirit Toad suddenly felt like its butt was on fire, urgently conveying a message.
There was news! Lots and lots of news!
Hai Wuliang was startled. He took out the message and was dumbfounded by what he saw!
Almost everyone he was connected to was asking him what had happened, and a significant portion of them were cursing him out!
"Hai Wuliang, you damn dog! Give me back my son!"
"Hai Wuliang, you truly are heartless... I treated you so well, and you killed my son?"
"Damn you, Hai Wuliang! Bring my son back to life!"
"..."
In an instant, Hai Wuliang's hair stood on end from fear.
What... what was going on?
What did I do? How could I not know? News from the Southeast Headquarters arrived: "The Night Demon Sect has suspended all activities and is preparing for a reorganization. The Sect Leader of the Night Demon Sect, Hai Wuliang, is ordered to report to the Southeast Headquarters immediately!"
Hai Wuliang was completely dumbfounded.
What was happening? He hurriedly sought answers from the headquarters' backers, but after asking several times, they simply ignored him.
Hai Wuliang was desperate. He asked someone else.
He kept asking until the eighth person, and finally, he received a response.
"Sect Leader Hai, your matter... has blown up!"
Hai Wuliang was utterly confused. "Which matter of mine has blown up?"
The other side exploded in anger: "How dare you, Hai Wuliang! It's not just one matter!"
Hai Wuliang was bewildered.
What the hell... Are you just stating the obvious? As the Sect Leader of the Night Demon Sect, I have countless matters to attend to every day!
Today, I suppress one, tomorrow, I harm another. The Light Sect, the Three Saints Sect, the Heaven God Sect, the Tiger Clan... Over the years, I've been secretly suppressing them all...
And every day, I've been sending assassins to the Guardian Pavilion...
I commit a hundred evil deeds daily, how am I supposed to know which one has blown up? "Please, Master, guide me."
Hai Wuliang pleaded in a low voice.
Given the current situation, Hai Wuliang dared not go to the Southeast Headquarters. He had a premonition that if he went, he would surely meet his end!
He needed to figure out what was going on first.
"Did you send people to attack the One Heart Sect's branch office?" the other person asked.
"Yes, but is that... abnormal?" Hai Wuliang was perplexed. There was no need to hide anything now.
"Abnormal? Do you know how many noble offspring died in this attack?" The other person coldly laughed.
"Including the ones here, twenty-five or six..." Hai Wuliang seemed to understand a little.
"Twenty-five or six? Hai Wuliang, you really won't shed tears until you see the coffin. You even deceived me!" The other person was furious.
"These are the facts... Master, how could I possibly deceive you? Besides, for the greater cause, isn't it normal for people to die?" Hai Wuliang was puzzled.
"Hmph... You know what you've done. You've killed over a thousand people from noble families, and now, no one can cover for you!"
The other person coldly replied, "You're on your own from now on. Also, don't call me Master anymore!"
"Over a thousand? I killed over a thousand?" Hai Wuliang was stunned. When did I kill that many? "Stop pretending!"
"Master, Master, I swear I'm innocent. I truly don't understand. Please, Master, help me make sense of this. Master, even if I die, let me die with clarity."
Hai Wuliang panicked.
"I can't help you with this matter."
Finally, the Master relented and spoke with a hint of confusion, "Don't you really know?"
"I truly don't know, Master! I swear by the Heavenly Scorpion Deity..."
"Then you're in deep trouble. The situation is as follows..."
The Master explained the matter in detail and finally sighed, "Hai Wuliang, this time... it's likely you won't be able to escape unscathed."
Hai Wu Liang had only heard half of it, but he was already completely dumbfounded.
His entire being stood there, devoid of consciousness.
He didn't even realize when his master had cut off communications.
With so many accusations pouring in at once, Hai Wu Liang... truly couldn't bear it. Damn, he had never seen so many accusations in his entire life...
He remained stunned for a full quarter of an hour before finally roaring, "Yin Shen Palace! You damn... you're really a backstabber!"
His anger knew no bounds.
But two trails of tears flowed down his cheeks. Hai Wu Liang was genuinely crying this time.
Because Hai Wu Liang clearly knew that he was finished.
In this situation, no one could possibly save themselves.
After struggling for over a thousand years, he had finally attained the position of the Night Demon Sect's leader, but from this day forward, everything had become a mirage.
It was all gone.
His entire body trembled.
Turning to look at the Night Demon Sect's headquarters, he thought of the centuries of hard work. It was all gone just like that.
What now? He trembled as he took out his communication jade and sent a message to Yin Shen Palace: "Yin Shen Palace, you motherfcker! You're truly despicable!"
Yin Shen Palace had already received all the information through his channels at headquarters.
To be honest, even Yin Shen Palace was terrified! He was so shocked that he stood there dazed, unable to snap out of it for a long time.
Was Hai Wu Liang really finished?
Yin Shen Palace couldn't believe it. With just one denunciation letter, things had come to this? If I had known how powerful I was, I would have denounced Hai Wu Liang long ago.
So, Yin Shen Palace began to inquire about the instigator, but even they didn't know who it was. They could only gather information, and that's when they discovered that the One Heart Sect's White Cloud Continent branch was behind this!
This bastard, in order to retaliate against Hai Wu Liang, had utilized every possible factor to their advantage, and somehow managed to rally the entire headquarters and all the noble families against him!
They had placed a massive black cauldron on Hai Wu Liang's head.
This situation, when thought about, seemed unbelievable, but when pieced together, it was easy to understand.
After learning the truth, Yin Shen Palace recalled all of Fang Che's actions up until now.
Finally, he had a sudden realization.
This was the culmination of all the grudges and resentment.
To put it simply, it started with the results of the Cultivation Divine Plan.
So many families' direct lineages were killed by the Night Demon Sect, which meant that for three years, none of the families' offspring could enter the Wayward Righteous Sect's official advancement system.
But when compared to the families who lost members to those who didn't, wouldn't the former be at a disadvantage? And so, a sense of imbalance was born.
Although these families hadn't united yet, they shared a common enemy, and naturally, a force was formed. Here, for the first time, these families joined forces.
Because when people share a common heart, their reasoning is also shared.
And what would this force do next? First, to compensate for the families' losses, they would naturally take advantage of their numbers and request the leader to open a Graceful Examination.
And this decision was supported by all the noble families, even those who hadn't lost members: Shouldn't the Graceful Examination also consider the families who lost members? And so, this decision was unanimously agreed upon, and the force grew stronger.
And so, the families' offspring came down.
This was the result of all the families' joint efforts—a sense of victory for everyone.
Since they had come down, death was inevitable. Originally, they had all accepted that some would die, and they were prepared to lose ten and have two or three return...
And so-called friend died, and quite a few at that, but they had prepared for this.
They didn't think much of it.
Originally, peaceful development was all they wanted.
But... an accident happened.
The accident occurred on the White Cloud Continent.
Fang Executive killed many, and the Night Demon Sect's Starry Light branch accepted many.
It started with a denunciation, which forced them to counterattack.
And so, many died under their counterattacking denunciations, and the situation became murky.
This kind of situation couldn't be hidden forever, and when the time came, Fang Executive proposed a collaboration, which made them a role model.
And so, they were immediately put in a precarious position.
Although the Starry Light branch leader strategized and changed the situation, the hidden danger remained.
The black cauldron was about to be placed on their heads, and as they gritted their teeth, determined to endure, Hai Wu Liang arrived, fulfilling their wishes.
The Night Demon Sect attacked, killing many of the noble families' offspring. And so, the reason existed, and the scapegoat was also found.
To remove the black cauldron, Zhao Wu Shang and the others had no choice but to use their families to forcefully place it on Hai Wu Liang.
Once the black cauldron was successfully placed on Hai Wu Liang's head, it would be a permanent solution—everyone would be absolved, even those who weren't guilty.
