Your Majesty, Please Stop!

Chapter 142: Martial Dao's Large-scale Arrest, Leaving No One Behind

"Creak..."

The "sliding boat" traveled on the road under the starry sky.

At this moment, the group of eight people pulling the cart had become nine.

The anger, unwillingness, and humiliation on the face of the old man had disappeared, no! It had transferred to another person's face.

This person was over sixty years old, with a gray complexion and three strands of long beard. He was too thin, and his eyes were too cold, like a ghost. He was none other than the Ghost Scholar Zhuge Ming.

This person was a Water Attribute True Qi practitioner at the Fifth Rank, relying on the Yin and flexibility of water to make a move against Xin Zhuo, a solid move.

The Five Elements True Qi each had their own characteristics, mutually generating and restraining each other, circulating endlessly.

Now, with Xin Zhuo himself, they had already gathered the Wood, Earth, and Water attributes. He was looking forward to gathering all Five Elements and absorbing the True Qi attributes of the Integrated Union upgrade. It would be so powerful.

"Sigh!"

At this moment, a long sigh came from the front, from the old man: "Brother Zhuge, you and I have lived a righteous and chivalrous life, but who would have thought we would end up like this!"

"You old dog! Stop pretending!" Zhuge Ming's anger was beyond measure as he pointed at the old man's nose and cursed, "How could Xin be able to recognize me? Wasn't it because of you? Do you think I'm an idiot?

Last year, you and I were both received by Miss Lili at the Wangyu Tower. I was superior in skill, but you held a grudge and poisoned yourself, dragging me down with you!"

The old man's face turned red, angrily saying, "Nonsense! I have lived a righteous and chivalrous life. How could I do such a thing?"

"What? Zhuge old man, are you unwilling?" Xin Zhuo's casual questioning came from behind.

The crowd fell silent for a moment. Zhuge Ming swallowed his saliva and angrily replied, "Of course, I am unwilling, but... I submit to King Xin! That's a different matter! What that old dog can do, I can do a thousand times better! As long as he gives me the antidote on time every three days!"

The old man burst into anger, "If I eat a mouthful of shit, would you eat ten thousand mouthfuls?"

This statement stunned Zhuge Ming. He hesitated for a moment, angrily waved his sleeve, and said, "Shameless old thief, despicable! I am ashamed to be associated with you!"

"Alright!" Xin Zhuo jumped off the "sliding boat". "Let's have a meeting!"

Everyone stopped and found an open space by the roadside, sitting in a circle.

Yan Chizong held a torch thoughtfully, and Xin Zhuo took out a map, scanning the crowd. He saw that Feng San Niang and Zhao Li, who had been gloomy, also had bright eyes, not knowing what they were thinking. He cleared his throat and said, "Who should we deal with next?"

Before anyone could speak, he continued, "There are two prerequisites. First, we must be stealthy and move at night without alerting the small Grandmaster-level experts. Otherwise, if something happens to me, you will all wait to be killed!

Second, we should focus on those who are chasing after me. Innocent people should not be involved for now!"

"That makes sense! King Xin is indeed meticulous in his thinking!" The old man praised, then continued, "There are at least five hundred high-level experts who have accepted the martial world's pursuit order. But most of them are insignificant, not worth mentioning. There are only three or four people at the Fifth Rank!"

"If we follow King Xin's analysis..." Mr. Zhuge also said, "Why not cut the mess and lock onto one person for a quick attack? I suggest starting with my in-law, the invincible Song Wudi. This old man looks down on me! Of course, he is also at the Fifth Rank and has accepted the martial world's pursuit order!"

Alright, they already had personal grudges.

"No! I disagree with Mr. Zhuge's suggestion..."

"What you said is also inappropriate..."

The crowd couldn't contain their excitement and went from being trapped and helpless to offering suggestions. No one understood their thoughts, perhaps they themselves hadn't figured it out.

At this moment, Feng San Niang's face turned cold and said, "This lady thinks we should use deception. Do you want to advance further in the Martial Dao? Do you want to sit on the throne? Do you want to succeed? Then capture them one by one, trap them, and make them develop their own families and friends..."

Xin Zhuo was stunned, feeling a sense of familiarity...

Feng San Niang was speaking passionately, but when she saw Xin Zhuo's strange gaze, she paused and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xin Zhuo nodded, "You said it well, but I think a more direct approach would be better!"

Then he summarized everyone's ideas.

...

January 24th.

The infamous Fifth Rank expert, the Blood Slaughter Madman Song Wudi, fell.

...

January 28th.

The Fifth Rank expert, the White Robed Lady Sun Xixiu, was captured.

...

February 1st.

The fifth-ranked expert, Judge Zhong Henian, was captured.

...

February 9th.

The fifth-ranked expert, Lady Sanhua, Bai Mu, was captured.

...

February 11th.

The fifth-ranked expert, Fake Eunuch Zhou Wu, was captured.

...

February 19th.

The fifth-ranked expert, White-robed Sword God Chen Si, was captured.

...

In addition, from the 27th day of the first lunar month to the 28th day of the third lunar month, a total of 68 sixth-ranked experts from the martial world were captured.

...

Such terrifying and horrifying incidents surprisingly did not cause panic in the martial world.

Because everyone disappeared without a trace under a meticulous plan, without even alarming their families.

It was quite common for regular visitors to the martial world to go and apprehend Xin Zhuo.

...

It was another night with a clear moon and sparse stars. The winter scenery in the desolate wilderness disappeared, replaced by lush grass and singing birds, a scene of vibrant life.

On a secluded official road, more than eighty people stood, both men and women, all with solemn expressions, cold faces, and imposing auras.

They were all experts at least at the sixth rank, with eight of them being fifth rank Practitioners.

At this moment, the group split into two factions, causing a significant division.

Led by the three experts, the old man, Zhuge Ming, and Song Wudi, supported by more than thirty people including Yan Chizong, Xue Huaiwei, and Zhao Li, strongly advocated for continuing the "boat-pulling" operation!

Although the reasons were not explicitly stated, the meaning was clear: we have been pulling for a month, why aren't you pulling?

Led by the five fifth-ranked experts, Sun Xixiu, Zhong Henian, Bai Mu, Zhou Wu, and Chen Si, and supported by the remaining forty sixth-ranked experts, they firmly rejected the idea, believing that it would be better to find a sedan chair to ride in, otherwise it would be embarrassing for so many experts.

This matter itself was quite ridiculous and laughable, but the defeated and controlled experts and heroes had no other thoughts. After all, they were not the only ones trapped.

But there were still some matters where face had to be fought for!

People in the martial world always cared about face!

On the wooden "boat" behind, which had been worn out and bald, Xin Zhuo sat dryly with Little Huang, looking somewhat lonely.

At this moment, his thoughts were all focused on the Lunar Serenity Well.

He had spent a full seven days replacing these people with sacrifices, but he discovered a terrifying fact:

The Lunar Serenity Well no longer recognized Practitioners below the fifth rank who had not undergone Five Elements reversal!

It didn't accept their martial arts techniques or realms, as if it despised low-level Practitioners!

This meant that his plan to break through the fifth rank realm by relying on a large number of fifth rank Practitioners and sixth rank Practitioners had failed.

However, the remaining eight fifth-ranked "realms" and "Five Elements True Qi" of the old man, Zhuge Ming, Song Wudi, Bai Mu, and others were successfully obtained!

Unfortunately, their martial arts techniques and cultivation techniques were not obtained. The Lunar Serenity Well was so tsundere that it only kept the essence and discarded the dross. Their martial arts techniques were too inferior to match the well's owner, or perhaps the well's owner's current martial arts techniques were incompatible with their inferior martial arts techniques!

This also indirectly proved that his current martial arts techniques were stronger than many others.

More importantly:

[Well Owner: Xin Zhuo.]

[Moonlight: 27/100]

[Realm: Fifth rank (eighteen out of ten into the fifth rank)]

[Five Elements True Qi: Wood 2, Earth 2, Water 3, Fire 2, unable to integrate.]

That's right! It just so happened that he hadn't encountered a Practitioner with reversed gold attribute True Qi.

"King Xin, please make a judgment!"

"That's right! Please make a decision, King Xin!"
