Chapter 304: Chapter 224 All Slaughtered, Will Hard to Calm
In the tavern, there was dead silence.
Seeing Lu Qing stomp the effeminate young man to death, all the surviving disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect trembled in their bodies.
Fang Tao and his disciples were similarly scared out of their wits.
Even Ma Gu and Wei Zian were somewhat taken aback, startled by the killing intent emanating from Lu Qing.
However, they also knew why Lu Qing was so enraged.
Little Yan was Lu Qing’s Achilles’ heel, and the fact that the young Sect Master of the Flowing Cloud Sect dared to speak disrespectfully to her and harbor such filthy thoughts was no different from seeking death.
Not to mention the tragic circumstances they had encountered along the way had already accumulated a lot of anger in Lu Qing.
It would have been abnormal if he didn’t want to kill him.
It was just that the cruel methods chosen by Lu Qing caught them off guard.
After all, Little Yan was still there.
Fortunately, Little Yan’s eyes were covered up in time by the elder doctor; otherwise, who knows whether the little one would have nightmares tonight.
Looking at the disfigured effeminate young man, all the Flowing Cloud Sect disciples started to shake.

They were filled with immense fear in their hearts.
Not only were they shaken by Lu Qing’s ruthlessness, but they also knew that with the death of the young Sect Master, the Flowing Cloud Sect would experience an upheaval.
The Sect Master and the Supreme Elder would definitely fly into a rage, and the whole of Yunzhou would be thrown into turmoil because of this event.
And these disciples who had followed him, failing to protect the young Sect Master, were sure to bear the brunt of that anger.
Thinking about the Sect Master’s authority and methods within the Sect on normal days, and the Supreme Elder’s harshness, the hearts of all the surviving disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect trembled.
But soon, they didn’t have to worry about this problem anymore.
Because Lu Qing had no intention of sparing them.
After crushing the effeminate young man underfoot as if crushing an insect, Lu Qing turned his gaze towards the remaining disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect.
Snap!
Swept by Lu Qing’s dispassionate gaze, the remaining disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect shuddered.
Those with weaker willpowers immediately fell to their knees.
“Young hero, spare our lives, please! All of this has nothing to do with us; it was the young Sect Master who ordered us—we were simply following his commands!”
“Yes, young hero, we had no choice. If we didn’t follow orders, we would be the first to die!”
“We implore the young hero to judge wisely—spare us this once, we dare not do it again!”
Looking at the Flowing Cloud Sect disciples kneeling and begging for mercy, weeping bitterly, Lu Qing’s facial expression did not change in the slightest.
Da Shi even started shouting angrily, “Bullshit! You scoundrels, when you were slaughtering those innocent villagers earlier, how loudly you laughed! We heard everything clearly from the sidelines! Young Master Lu, these dogs are not human; don’t let them deceive you!”
The pleading disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect froze.
“I’m asking you, what’s the deal with that little girl over there?”
Lu Qing spoke faintly, his tone cold and icy.
The few disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect were shocked, wanting to fabricate an excuse, but upon seeing Lu Qing’s indifferent gaze, somehow their hearts felt a chill.
“It was all the young Sect Master’s doing; he has a hobby of toying with young girls. That girl is the granddaughter of the tavern keeper. Today, the young Sect Master saw her, and then…”
The voice of the talking Flowing Cloud Sect disciple grew lower and lower, but the content of his words was enough to make one’s blood run cold.
“A beast—he’s simply not human!”
“Monster!”
Zhao Qianlin and Fang Rou were the first to curse out loud.
Ma Gu and others showed faces filled with anger.
Even the elder doctor had a hint of evil Qi on his face.
“A scum like this could actually become the young Sect Master. Does your Flowing Cloud Sect not supervise and discipline your heirs?” Lu Qing said coldly.
“The young Sect Master is the Sect Master’s son and the Supreme Elder’s great-grandson—who would dare to restrain him? Young hero, it was the young Sect Master who ordered us to kill the people of the town.
The young Sect Master has always been capricious, cruel, and bloodthirsty. Anyone who disobeys his will would be tortured by him in madness—cutting off hands and feet is a trivial matter, a more severe punishment would even affect our families. We really didn’t dare to disobey! Please, young hero, give us a chance to reform!”
The remaining disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect once again started kowtowing to Lu Qing.
“You want a chance, but who gave those dead villagers outside another chance to live?”
Lu Qing looked at the disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect whose foreheads had been broken from kowtowing, their faces showing a trace of mockery.
“Scum like you don’t deserve to live at all. Not to mention giving you a chance at life, allowing you to die easily would be my greatest act of mercy.”
“Run!”
Kneeling disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect, upon hearing the first half of Lu Qing’s words, already felt a sense of foreboding.
By the time they heard everything, they were even more horrified and immediately someone bellowed, all the disciples began to scatter and flee.
In an instant, more than a dozen disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect started escaping in all directions, rushing toward the tavern’s doors and windows.
Those with a quick wit even went straight for the injured Fang Tao and others, intending to take them hostage.
“Figures, a dog can’t change its habit of eating shit.”
Lu Qing wasn’t surprised at all by these actions.
As the Flowing Cloud Sect disciples were fleeing, he too produced a handful of pebbles in his hand.
Swoosh!
With a flick of Lu Qing’s wrist, a dozen pebbles scattered in the air like a celestial maiden dispersing blossoms, flying in all directions.
Then, with muffled thuds, sprays of blood splattered everywhere.
All the fleeing Flowing Cloud Sect disciples, almost at the exact same time, staggered, then either fell or plunged to the ground, smashing many of the tavern’s tables and chairs.
On closer inspection, they were taking more breaths out than they were taking in.
They had been killed by Lu Qing in an instant, with an inconceivable hidden weapon technique.
“Ah!”
One of the corpses happened to fall right in front of Fang Rou.
Seeing the head of the Flowing Cloud Sect disciple punctured by a pebble, with a slow leak of red and white matter, the young girl couldn’t help but scream.
She had originally been captured by the androgynous young man, but Lu Qing’s punch that killed the stocky man was too shocking for the heart.
Under the strong shockwave, the androgynous young man was only thinking of dodging to save his life, and as a result, Fang Rou was also thrown to the side.
However, this throw also allowed Fang Rou to escape unscathed, not being directly affected by the blast.
Therefore, aside from some bruises and contusions from the fall, she wasn’t seriously injured.
Seeing the dead Flowing Cloud Sect disciple lying in front of her, Fang Rou’s feelings were quite strange.
She recognized this disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect.
During the previous ambush against them, he had attacked, and her father had been severely injured by him in just a single move.
Unexpectedly, such a strong martial artist was killed by just a pebble from Lu Qing.
Just who was Mr. Lu, and why was he so formidable?
Fang Rou looked up at Lu Qing, feeling a mix of admiration and awe.
“Sister, are you alright? Are you injured anywhere?”
At this time, Zhao Qianlin ran over and cut the ropes binding Fang Rou.
On the other side, Ma Gu also severed the ropes on Fang Tao and Da Shi.
“I’m fine, just a little bruising, nothing serious.”
Actually, Fang Rou could feel that the knife wounds that had only just healed over the past few days were once again oozing blood.
But to avoid worrying her sister, she chose to endure the pain.
After all, her father and Da Shi’s injuries were far more serious than hers at the moment.
“Sister, what about Senior Brother Wang and Senior Brother Li?”
Zhao Qianlin inquired about the other two brothers.
“They’re in the firewood shed. When I was dragged out earlier, they had been thrown in there, all covered in blood.”
Ma Gu immediately headed towards the kitchen and soon brought out two people covered in whip marks.
Fortunately, the people from the Flowing Cloud Sect seemed to think that they hadn’t tortured the two enough and hadn’t killed them.
Although both were barely alive, they were not yet dead.
With the elder doctor present, as long as there weren’t any unrecoverable fatal injuries, even if there was only a breath left, it wouldn’t be difficult to save them.
While the elder doctor was treating Fang Tao and the others,
Lu Qing still stood in front of the small corpse, quietly watching, his thoughts unknown.
Meanwhile.
Yunzhou, the Flowing Cloud Sect, was enveloped in a terrifying pressure.
“It’s the aura of the Supreme Elder!”
“Who has the audacity to anger the Supreme Elder like this, are they seeking death?”
Many disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect looked toward a certain palace with fearful anticipation, whispering among themselves.
And in that palace, a figure was looking at a broken Jade Token in their hand, their face full of shock and rage.
“Xuan’er is dead?!”
