Chapter 462: Decapitation

Chapter 462: Decapitation

Ever since Shen Lian passed on the Shenzu Scripture to both of them and allowed them to have a successful cultivation, Chen Qing returned once again to the city. However, Shen Lian did not do so.

They consumed the spiritual fruit, coupled with the spiritual force from the Yin Gathering Fountain, they had the sense of Qi in one night.

The essential Qi was a peculiar power. Han Ying experienced it the clearest. With the help of the circulation wisp of essential Qi of her body, her understanding towards her own body increased another level. Originally, a female’s stamina would come up short innately. But, she deeply felt that this wisp of essential Qi could push up her stamina. Even though it was by a bit but for a dark warrior such as her who had undergone brutal training, she very clearly understood what this little bit of stamina meant. It would save her life during those special moments.

Furthermore, the Dharma that was passed down by Shen Lian was not impossible to popularize. She thought that if the ladies in the armies could cultivate this Dharma, even without the excellent resources that they have, but with the long years, they would definitely surpass the now. By that moment, they could definitely build a formidable army.

Han Ying thought of this matter but Chen Qing did not. She was not someone who liked to fight.

Chen Qing looked at Shen Lian who was in front of her. After hearing what he had to say, she asked, “You mean that you want to declare that we are at Mount Jieyang?”

“That’s right. The rebellion of the Gao family is only but a few days. In fact, this new establishment of power would inevitably be accompanied by a dispute of interest. There would even be resentment in the heart of the people. During this moment, mother, as the millennium orthodox of Xi Liang City and as per the natural principle of law, there would definitely be people who will offer their service to you.” Shen Lian slowly said.

Chen Qing asked with confusion, “Principle of law?”

Shen Lian replied, “The principle of law is the inertia that has been formed for so long. The heaven and earth naturally has its principle of law. That is why there is water flowing from the high places to low places. After the fruit on top of the tree has ripen, it will fall to the ground. These are the principles of law and the people of Xi Liang City had already gotten used to the people of the Chen family being the Master of the city. In such a short amount of time, how could they easily accept the fact that the people of the Gao family had become the Master of the city? Furthermore, with the rebellion of the Gao family, they would certainly seek for bigger advantages and this will harm the interest of others.”

Chen Qing listened to Shen Lian who spoke continuously and pleasantly and it was then she knew about the advantages and disadvantages of it. Immediately, she felt as though the air was cleared for her. They were in the remote mountains but there was not only two or three person. There were definitely others who had not acknowledged their allegiance to the Gao family.

Shen Lian continued said, “Actually, it isn’t hard to annihilate the people of the Gao family. It also isn’t hard to take back the city. The difficult part is after all of these, how you are going to hold onto the foundation that is Xi Liang City. This would really depend whether you have enough abilities and virtues.”

Chen Qing answered, “I understand the meaning of what you’re saying. That merchant once said to me that their monarch, who was a prominent merchant, once said, ‘I am virtuous, the people would subject themselves to me voluntarily; I am not virtuous, the people would also leave by themselves.”

Shen Lian smiled faintly, his scrunched little face slowly unfolded, but within his mind he thought, this merchant is certainly someone special!

Han Ying asked, “But how are we going to take siege of the city? I’m afraid it would be impossible to directly invade the city then?”

Shen Lian spat out the word ‘decapitation’.

In the next few days, word had gotten around Xi Liang City that Chen Qing and the rest were still alive in Mount Jieyang and there were people who arrived in droves. As expected, they saw Chen Qing. There was a part of the group who was loyal to the Chen family, another part of the group were neutral forces. However, when they heard the Chen Qing showed up on her own initiative, they knew certainly in their minds that were was someone to count on. That was why they sent people over to have a look first, there were even some who were scouts from the Gao family who came to try to find out the abstract and the concrete.

Chen Qing and Han Ying were brimming over with health and spirits. They did not looked to be in a tight corner at all and it even calmed the people who had offered their services. It also surprised and bewildered the others.

Under the deterrence of Han Ying’s military might and Chen Qing’s perfect order of commands, a group of people were quikly being incorporated into their forces. There were more than three hundred people and within them, there were ten female soldiers who were loyal to the previous Master of the city.

Once the people who were gathered became more, the consumption naturally also became more. Mount Jieyang was also a dangerous place that was easy to hold but hard to attack. That was why the troops were waiting for Chen Qing’s next move.

Chen Qing’s movements were swift. She decided that they would lay siege to the city after the skies had brightened.

This caused a commotion within the crowd. There were some who returned to the city that very night. Chen Qing did not stop them.

As for Shen Lian, he rode on Black Tiger and lived in solitude in the high ground by the hillside. He observed the crowd clearly. Everyone’s tiny and subtle facial expression was seen in his eyes.

The subconscious movements of these people betrayed the activity that were going on inside their mind. Not only that, Shen Lian could also sense the will of the people. Within the ten people, there was two who accepted Chen Qing.

This could be considered not bad. It was also enough to see that the Chen family had bestowed profound bounties towards Xi Liang City. Only then there would be these people who refused to forget about their old master. They had even set up camp and brought their own rations.

There were also the majority of the people who warned Chen Qing against laying siege to the city. However, no matter their best effort to convince her, Chen Qing did not change her mind.

Shen Lian was riding on Black Tiger in this night and he had made a move first to Xi Liang City.

The news arrived at the inside of the city around the evening. Gao Jie was sending people to look around for Chen Qing’s younger sister, Chen Yun. She had no time to investigate Chen Qing. What she did not expect was that not only did she showed up by her own initiative, she also wanted to lay siege to the city. It truly surprised and bewildered her.

Unless Chen Qing was committing reckless haste, or else she should have known that with her come storm back, it was no different than trying to crush a stone with an egg.

Gao Jie could not help but be deeply suspicious whether there were prominent families in the city that had pleaded their allegiance to Chen Qing and plotted to rebel together in secrecy.

Her current forces were actually weakened by a lot compared to before the rebellion. This was because after she had taken Xi Liang City, she still needed to search for survivors from the Chen family and even placed some prominent families under surveillance. These coupled with the losses from the siege of the city, this was the weakest moment for the Gao family.

Back then, the Gao family started out through the rebellion in the city so naturally, Gao Jie did not permit a second Gao family to appear.

She ordered her subordinates to lay out defenses throughout the city the whole night. After finishing all of this and not long before the skies brightened up, she still felt an uneasiness within her mind and she went to meet the wizard.

It should be mentioned that even though she really hated this person’s guts, she still needed his help.

The wizard stayed in the residence the previous city master. Inside, a huge cauldron was burning and six infants were thrown into this cauldron alive. This caused the infants to let out painful howls as they boiled in the boiling water and they quickly died off.

The fresh smell of meat entered Gao Jie’s nose. She was suffocated and was about to throw up, but she still pretended to be happy and greeted the wizard who was picking up a piece of infant flesh and he ate it.

After he finished chewing up the plump flesh inside of his mouth, he then gloomily asked, “Did you found that person for me?”

Gao Jie was more respective than last time and answered, “We are searching now. However, there is another major matter. It has to do whether you could capture Chen Yun.”

The wizard coldly asked, “What is it?”

Then, Gao Jie told Chen Yun’s matter to the wizard. The general meaning being that she had hoped when Chen Yun laid siege to the city, the wizard would capture her.

The wizard pondered for a while and said, “Did you find out why she would lay siege to the city?”

Gao Jie answered, “I did not. But my subject has met them. He said the two seemed as though they had been thoroughly reborn and they were brimming with health and spirits. I reckoned that they had an unusual encounter because I heard that there was an unusual person who once stayed in Mount Jieyang, that this person had the ability to summon the wind and rain.”

The wizard asked, “You mean that they had gotten the help of that unusual person?”

Gao Jie answered, “That unusual person had since left. I guess that they had the treasure items left by the unusual person.”

What she said was partially true but she knew that this one point was already enough. This was because the wizard was a greedy person.
