Tang Folei landed on the ground.

  He was covered in blood.

  The long sword in his hand was still dripping blood.

  Even Han Yangjian, Fang Xiaoan, and the others were scared of his cruelty.

  It was really ruthless. When he made his attacks, he acted without mercy. In the blink of an eye, more than 30 people died under Tang Folei’s sword. Without Li Jianyi and Qi Qingshan, Tang Folei was the most powerful warrior in the sect, and almost no one could endure an attack of his.

  All the people on the square were enraged.

  The square was vociferous, like a handful of salt tossed into slightly hot oil.

  All the eyes of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect disciples were to the brim with tears, and they only felt that something in their chest was going to explode……

  “Kill, kill Tang Folei!”


  “Kill this beast who dares to deceive his teachers and kill his predecessors!”


  “So be it! Today, even if all the people of the sect are killed, we’ll kill Tang Folei!”


  “Die, die together, even if we’re going to die together!”


  The angry crowd, like an unstoppable tide, rushed madly toward Tang Folei.

  The scene suddenly went out of control.

  The heavens and the earth were filled with grief and indignation. People were burning with rage.

  Fang Xiaoan and Tie Zhan, the experts of the nine sects in Snow Province, all changed their faces. They felt suffocated by such a crazy scene. The cohesive force of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect was really horrifying, and the whole Sect was crazy.

  “Haha, a group of people have no idea of death and life. Do you think I don’t dare to kill all of you?” Tang Folei said and laughed madly. His Qi fluctuated wildly all over his body. Unexpectedly, he was completely unafraid.

  Right at this moment—


  “Stop! Disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, listen to me, all stop!” Li Jianyi yelled while spitting blood. With the help of Luo Lan, he staggered to stand up. He was slightly better.

  His voice wrapped in Qi sounded, suppressing the angry roars.

  At this time, only Li Jianyi could suppress such a group of angry disciples.

  Tens of thousands of eyes looked at Li Jianyi at the same time.

  At this time, the master’s face was pale and his Qi was weak. He forced himself to channel his Qi, so his injury became serious, and he almost fell down. He showed a sad smile on his face, and his eyes swept across the faces of tens of thousands of disciples. He spat out a mouthful of blood, slowly shook his head and said, “Put down your swords and surrender!”


  “What?”


  “Surrender?”


  The disciples were stunned.

  They had never imagined that the head of the sect would say this.

  ‘It is better to die in honor than live in disgrace.’ This was what everyone exclaimed in the fierce battle at that time. It was a promise, but why did he ask them to surrender just then?

  “You haven’t misheard me. As the head of the sect, I order you not to die for nothing, but to live…… to live well with a useful body…… Remember that as long as you are alive, the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect won’t be destroyed, and the inheritance will remain!” Li Jianyi said with difficulty, “One day, graceful swordsmen will come back!”


  There was a dead silence between heaven and earth.

  “Not afraid of death, Living a meaningful life. Graceful swordsmen, come back again!”


  Li Jianyi whispered the four sentences.

  He constantly spat blood from his mouth. His pale face had a hint of life. His meridians were all broken and his internal organs had been smashed by Han Yangjian’s sword. At this moment, he was only relying on his Martial King strength to hold on. In fact, he had no strength to fight.

  It was daybreak.

  A ray of sunlight passed through the endless mountains and shone on Li Jianyi’s body.

  “I never expected to see the ruin the glory of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. I, Li Jianyi, am unworthy of the ancestors of the sect. Even if I die, I would still be ashamed if they saw this……” Li Jianyi smiled sadly.

  The next moment—


  Suddenly, he moved the sword and directly cut off the skin, flesh, and organs on his face. The face bled profusely.

  The disciples of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect exclaimed.

  However, Li Jianyi looked up to the sky and laughed as if he didn’t feel the pain. He said, “I am afraid of death. Children of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, if you don’t want me to die with hatred, you must live. No matter what disasters you suffer, no matter what humiliation you suffer, no matter what you encounter, you must live bravely. Because, as long as one of you still lives in this world, even if only one person remains in the end, the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect will still have the hope of revival!”


  On the square, the crowd was silent.

  They became more zealous, but their anger had begun to be suppressed by reason.

  What the head said made these angry swordsmen start to think.

  “Haha, that’s right. Li Jianyi, you brought the sect to this situation. Indeed, you are ashamed to see your ancestors. You can rest in peace. I assure you that after your death, the sect will not be destroyed. I will be the new head,” Tang Folei said and laughed, “The sect will not be wiped out, and it will also become one of the main sects in the Snow Province. I will get the support of the Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect. The sect will be more prosperous than before! I will prove that only I am qualified to be the head of the sect!”


  Li Jianyi’s vision became blurred. He obviously couldn’t see anything. He smiled and said, “You won’t be complacent for too long. Someone will kill you on my behalf soon.”


  Tang Folei burst into laughter and said, “Who can kill me?”


  “Ding Hao will not let you go!” Li Jianyi said fiercely.

  On his badly mutilated face, there seemed to be a faint smile on his face when he mentioned this name.

  Tang Folei’s face froze.

  And on the square.

  In the crowd of disciples, the moment they heard this name made everyone think of something, suddenly bursting into cheers and exclamations right after. The young people who were originally depressed and in low spirits seemed to find hope at this moment and became excited again.

  “That’s right, it’s not over yet.

  “We still have Senior Brother Ding Hao!

  “Saber and Sword Addict, Ding Hao!

  “He is the most powerful genius in the sect’s history.

  “The young man who has created countless miracles.

  “He is still in the Sage Battlefield. Once he comes out from the battlefield, he will travel thousands of kilometers to rescue us.

  “And Li Lan, Feng Ning, Xie Jieyu, Liang Feixue and Li Muyun……

  “The most outstanding geniuses of the sects, as well as the brightest future of martial arts, would all return.

  “As long as they come back, there is hope!”


  “Haha, the raging fire burnt my maimed body. The graceful swordsmen will come back!” Li Jianyi laughed. “Tang Folei, if you still have a trace of humanity, since Martial Uncle Qingshan saved you many times in the past, don’t insult his body.”


  His laughter echoed throughout the area.

  Flames suddenly burned up from Li Jianyi’s body.

  The flames that symbolized light swallowed him up bit by bit.

  Even if he were to die, he would not let his own body fall into the enemy’s hands to be insulted.

  A Grand Master passed away.

  “Master……” Sorrowful wails reached the heavens.

  Everyone in the square fell to their knees, some of them were screaming in pain and the faces of many were covered with tears.

  For all the disciples of the sect, Li Jianyi was the head of the sect, a person full of personality and charisma.

  The sect flourished in the period when he was in charge, and it was harmonious. The sect’s power of unity was much stronger when compared to other sects in the Snow Province. The senior leaders of the sect treated all disciples well. Every disciple, even if he was born in a poor family, had the opportunity to be trained and cultivated!

  In people’s memories, the most impressive thing was Li Jianyi’s smile.

  He was a head who always had a warm smile on his face.

  In the end, Li Jianyi’s body turned into light and disappeared from the face of the earth.

  As the breeze blew, his ashes were scattered on the mountain ridge he deeply loved.

  “Brother Yi……” Tears welled up in Luo Lan’s eyes.

  She opened her arms wide and could no longer hug her beloved.

  The beautiful woman showed a sad smile on her face. She didn’t even look at Tang Folei. Instead, she looked at the fading light and murmured, “We’re a couple. In fact, I had forgiven you a long time ago…… Don’t worry. From now on, there will be nothing that can separate you and me……”


  Before she had finished her words.

  Wisps of flames also started to emerge from Luo Lan’s body.

  This was the sign of a martial artist who used Qi to integrate into heaven and earth.

  “Junior Sister, you…… you……” Tang Folei, who had been expressionless, could not help exclaiming. “You…… are you going to die for this man?” With a flash, he rushed over and tried to stop Luo Lan from committing suicide.

  “Don’t come any closer……” Luo Lan said. Her body had already vanished halfway, and her eyes were full of disdain. “The Senior Brother Tang I know is already dead, and now you are a beast that anyone would want to kill!”


  “Why? You still chose him? I have already gained the position of master. But you still chose him. You are willing to die for him……” Tang Folei cried in pain.

  “You will never understand!”


  Little by little, Luo Lan’s body disappeared with the morning breeze, vanishing between the heaven and earth.

  Tang Folei stood still with tears in his eyes, and his expression changed constantly. Finally, he sighed in a low voice.

  Then, he turned around.

  Facing the sharp eyes of nearly ten thousand people on the square, the ferocious expression on his face gradually faded away. The ferocity in his soul seemed to disappear. He said calmly, “Those who obey me will live, those who disobey me will die!”


  A red sun slowly rose from the back of the mountains in the distance.

  The red sun was shiny.

  On the same day, there was a huge change in the Sword-seeking Mountain Range.

  Li Jianyi, the head of the sect, had died……

  The top human expert in the Snow Province, Qi Qingshan, died……

  The 63 elders of the sect died……

  More than 50 core disciples died……

  On the same day, Tang Folei, the leader of the Sentencing Hall, rebelled.

  Nearly ten thousand disciples of the sect became mine slaves. They were shackled and their cultivations were sealed. They were driven into the Great Abyss under the cliff behind the garbage area where they could not see the sun, to open up the mysterious crystal mine. Meanwhile, Wang Juefeng, Guan Feidu, Lu Qi, Shen Ku, Wang Xiaosa and hundreds of elite core disciples of the sect were temporarily locked up in the bloody prison of the sect and guarded strictly……

  In the history books of later generations, this was the prologue of the “Heartrending Plot.”
