Chapter 242 - 242: 201: Reputation Spreads Far and
“As long as you ringleaders commit suicide and disband the Justice Hall, the rest of the disciples can survive.”
Pei Xuanjing’s indifferent words sounded in Ma Wuji’s ears, causing him to tremble as if he could visualize his own death.
When he saw the disciples, the desperate look in their eyes changed to one of strange hope after hearing those words. A chill rose spontaneously in Ma Wuji’s heart.
Hiss!
Many of the martial artists onlookers filled with apprehension when they looked at Pei Xuanjing.
Pei Xuanjing was obviously intent on killing and intimidating!
If it had been before, Pei Xuanjing, despite his individual strength, could certainly kill Ma Wuji and his men. However, if the thousands of disciples decided to flee, he would have no chance of retaining all of them.
But after Yu Zhenzi and the others appeared, they were confident enough to annihilate the Justice Hall.
Despite having the power to easily crush the Justice Hall, they did it through such methods, which was terrifying.
Everyone knew that Pei Xuanjing’s method was an open scheme. But even if everyone knew this was a plot, they were helpless to break it.
“You have the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to decide. Once the incense is finished, it means that you, the disciples of Justice Hall, are united as one. I, Pei, will regret it, but I’ll be left with no choice but to send you off.”
Pei Xuanjing dropped this sentence, and someone immediately lit an incense stick.
As the incense slowly burned, they waited quietly, waiting for the reaction of the Justice Hall members.
In the end, Pei Xuanjing belonged to the strong. The lives of the Justice Hall members were within his thoughts under such circumstances.
Even if he slaughtered them all, most people, besides denouncing his brutality, wouldn’t genuinely stand up for the Justice Hall. Especially since the Justice Hall was obviously in league with the Six Gates.
“Leader! ”
No one wants to die, especially when there is a chance to survive.
Pei Xuanjing’s domineering attitude just now gave them no way out. They could only grit their teeth and stand with the leader.
But now that Pei Xuanjing has made a promise to only punish the ringleaders, it means they have a chance to survive. How could one not seize it?
“Do you want me, the leader, to commit suicide?” Ma Wuji’s heart was burning with anger, and he looked at the person who had spoken with cold eyes. A pack of heartless bastards, he’d been good to these people all along, and now they wanted him to die.
“…” The person who was looked at by Ma Wuji’s ferocious gaze immediately fell silent and lowered his head.
“Is it as Pei Xuanjing said, leader, do you want to drag us all to death?” A voice rose in dissatisfaction.
“Who else? Step forward!” Zhang Xiaoyao, his face like ice, suppressed the person with a palm and said coldly.
He never expected these people to dare to rebel against his decision. How ridiculous!
Seeing the person being suppressed, the other members of the Justice Hall looked devastated. Still, there was nothing they could do, so they had to hang their heads in dismay.
As members of Justice Hall, not only do their lives hang in the balance, but the lives of their family members are also at the mercy of the leaders.
Watching Ma Wuji and others intimidate the disciples of Justice Hall with their momentum, Pei Xuanjing, a smile appeared on his face.
He understood that at this point, although the authority of the other side had suppressed the dissatisfaction of these disciples, it had also eliminated any chance of these disciples siding with them.
The time of an incense stick was over in an instant.
Pei Xuanjing looked at the ashes of the burned incense and said coldly, “The incense is finished. It seems you are unwilling to commit suicide and are determined to drag everyone down with you.”
Pei Xuanjing’s plan was half successful. He originally assumed that these disciples could pressure Ma Wuji and the others into suicide.
What he overlooked was that in this place, it was those in power who commanded respect. Ma Wuji and the others had absolute suppression over these disciples.
Even if the disciples were dissatisfied, they could hardly resist Ma Wuji and the others’ suppression.
“Pei Xuanjing, we, the Justice Hall, are united as one. As the leader, I don’t believe you dare to risk universal condemnation and slaughter the thousands of disciples of our Justice Hall.” Ma Wuji’s eyes flashed with madness, but he was very sober.
Remember, even those killers from the underworld have never done such brutal and vicious things.
If they did, even the right would become the wrong, giving them a notorious reputation throughout the martial world.
More importantly, ants could even bite an elephant to death. The thousands of disciples were a very powerful force. They might give them a chance to survive.
In their view, these disciples were like amulets, the key to surviving this crisis.
The many disciples of the Justice Hall were filled with despair, but they were helpless.
“Ah,” Pei Xuanjing sighed lightly, his voice echoing down Long Street: “Although you wish to pull everyone down with you, I am not a lover of slaughter. Just as I said before, only the ringleaders will be punished. The rest of the disciples of the Justice Hall, surrender, and you might live.”
He took a step forward, his True Qi tluctuating, his Blood Qi boiling, and a formidable aura slowly rising. The fierce aura aimed directly at Ma Wuji and Zhang Xiaoyao, and the terrifying killing intent enveloped them.
