Chapter 523 Postwar Liquidation
Seeing Ma Hongshan's head in Jin Ziyuan's hand, the rest of the Xiaoyao Sect were also very happy.
The Ma family betrayed the sect. If the sect tried its best to kill Ma Hongshan, the culprit, and allowed him to escape to Yue Kingdom smoothly, even if the Xiaoyao sect could kill many low-level monks under the Ma family, this time It will definitely damage the sect’s reputation greatly.
Although this battle failed to completely wipe out the entire Ma family, it still allowed Ma Qiudie and some Ma family monks to escape. However, Xiaoyao Sect also made them pay a heavy price, which was enough to frighten other immortal cultivating families in the Wei Kingdom. .
This war, which was caused by the Ma family's rebellion and lasted for several days, finally came to an end at this moment.
After hearing the results reported by Jin Ziyuan and Chen Xuanxin, Li Mufeng still showed a trace of satisfaction on his face, and he took the initiative to praise Song Qingming and the others who went to pursue Ma Hongshan.
In addition to the Ma family monks who were killed, this time the Xiaoyao Sect also seized a large flying boat from the Jiuyuan Sect, which contained a lot of supplies that the Ma family was preparing to transport to the Yue Kingdom, many of which they had just returned from. Robbed from Tuoyunshanfang City, these spiritual objects plus the large flying boat are already worth nearly 100,000 spiritual stones.
Because Ma Hongshan had already handed over many precious things from the Ma family to Ma Qiudie in advance, although Song Qingming and others later found a storage bag on him, it contained only a few volumes of exercises and two magic weapons. Apart from some spirit stones, I didn't find anything good, which really made everyone in Xiaoyao Sect a little disappointed.
After returning to Iron Immortal Castle, Li Mufeng took Song Qingming and many Xiaoyao Sect elders and immediately set off back to Guyang Mountain, leaving the aftermath matters in Iron Immortal Castle to Chu Fengping, who was always good at communicating with others.
Now in Iron Fairy Castle, all the Ma family monks have evacuated, but there are still millions of ordinary mortals left here, as well as a dozen vassal cultivating families near Iron Fairy Castle.
For mortals, the Xiaoyao Sect has always not been involved casually, but without the protection of the Ma family, it may be a little difficult for them to live back to the happy days before.
In order to prevent so many mortals from the Ma family from gathering together, which was not conducive to management, Chu Fengping also specially mobilized a large sect flying boat to transport some of the mortals to Guiyunfang and Gaoyun County in the south.
According to the rules of the Xiaoyao Sect, even if mortals like the Ma family will not receive special punishment now, if monks with spiritual roots appear in the future, they will not be qualified to become immortals for at least a hundred years, and can only remain ordinary mortals for the rest of their lives. .
As for the dozen or so Foundation-Building Immortal Clans under the Ma family, the Xiaoyao Sect also dealt with them in batches according to their crimes. The several Foundation-Building Immortal Clans who followed the Ma Family and were ready to rebel and flee to the Yue Kingdom were all quickly killed by the Xiaoyao Sect. The liquidation resulted in the confiscation of the family and the annihilation of the family, resulting in a worse end than the Ma family.
There are some grassroots left who have not fully wanted to follow the Ma family to death. The Xiaoyao Sect also understands that they are under the Ma family and were forced to participate in the Ma family's sentencing. For these immortal cultivating families, Chu Feng Ping still gave them some relatively loose policies as appropriate, but only gave them a verbal warning and confiscated many of the merit points of these cultivating families in the Zongmen's Shanggong Pavilion.
Facing Chu Fengping's interrogation, these vassal cultivating families, no matter whether they sincerely betrayed the sect with the Ma family or not, all complained about injustice and accused each other at the beginning, which immediately disrupted the interrogation rhythm of Xiaoyao Sect.
However, although the Xiaoyao Sect has not been very involved in the affairs of the Iron Immortal Castle in recent years, the Ma family has become increasingly disobedient in recent years, which has already attracted the attention of the Xiaoyao Sect. Among the many immortal cultivating families under the Iron Immortal Castle, several early Has been secretly controlled by the sect, monitoring every move of the Ma family for Xiaoyao sect.
Through the few nails that the sect had secretly buried in Iron Immortal Castle for many years, Chu Fengping soon dug out several immortal cultivating families, led by the Chen and Li families, who deliberately confuse the public. The Zhongxiuxian family received the punishment they deserved.
Regarding these accomplices who assisted in the rebellion, although the Xiaoyao Sect did not kill them all like the Ma family monks, the lives of these cultivating families were not much easier.
Just like the Liu family in Jingyuan Mountain, the leader was basically executed directly, and the remaining low-level monks were directly sent to several mineral veins controlled by Xiaoyao Sect and became mine slaves. Even Qinghe The Yinfengling mine in the county also received many such monks this time.
Through this round of cleaning, the remaining forces of the Ma family in Tiexian Fort have been completely uprooted. The Xiaoyao Sect has regained control of the entire Tiexian Fort, and also controls all the Ma family's markets and mineral veins near Tiexian Fort.
Soon the news of the Ma family's betrayal of the sect spread throughout the Wei Kingdom. The Ma family, which had been glorious in the northwest of the Wei Kingdom for more than five hundred years, completely disappeared from the Wei Kingdom in less than half a month. in the long history of.
After returning to Guyang Mountain, Li Mufeng immediately rewarded many Jindan elders of the Xiaoyao Sect who participated in the battle. Everyone, including Song Qingming, received many rewards for their sect's good deeds.
In addition, in order to compensate Song Qingming and Lu Boyang who were accidentally injured during the battle, Li Mufeng also generously rewarded each of them with a third-level low-grade spiritual talisman. This really surprised Song Qingming and made him look happy. took over this spiritual object.
This time, in the battle of Iron Fairy Castle, after Song Qingming killed the old man in the late stage of the Ma family's foundation building outside the mountain guard formation, he not only got a valuable talisman "Qingye Sanxing Ruler" from him, but also got More than three thousand spiritual stones and many miscellaneous spiritual objects were found in the old man's storage bag.
Not counting the value of the talisman, the other spiritual objects in the old man's storage bag alone are estimated to contain nearly 10,000 spiritual stones. These spiritual objects were all used by Song Qingming to kill the enemy on the battlefield alone. The monks obtained the spiritual objects. When the Xiaoyao Sect learned about it, they didn't say much and generously rewarded these spiritual objects to Song Qingming.
After Li Mufeng finished appreciating his merits, Yao Qianshu on the side asked cautiously: "Uncle Li, this time because of the obstruction of Jiuyuan Sect, we did not do our best to completely eradicate the Ma family, but we still left it for the sect. There is a hidden danger. Now we have a grudge with the Jiuyuan Sect in the west. Should the Iron Immortal Castle take more precautions in the future? "
Li Mufeng smiled and shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, Ma Hongshan is dead, Wang Ziheng is seriously injured, and the Jiuyuan Sect has lost two golden elixirs in one go. Now they no longer have the strength to compete with us. They don't dare to cross easily now." In the Yunque Mountains, as long as the wind is calm, that's fine.
Jiu Yuan Zong's interference in our defense of the country has been recorded in his account. Sooner or later, we will still have to settle this account with Jiu Yuan Zong. "
After the battle with the Jiuyuan Sect, although Li Mufeng was very angry, he still maintained his rationality at all times and did not lead Song Qingming and others to rush into the Yue territory to continue the dispute with the Jiuyuan Sect.
However, because the Jiuyuan Sect interfered in the affairs of the Ma family in the Wei Kingdom, the two sects have now completely broken up. If there is a chance, Li Mufeng will definitely find a way to deal with them.
"Now that Fengyang De is dead in Tuoyun Mountain, the casual cultivators on the mountain are leaderless, and even the formation has not been restored yet. Should we send a suitable person to take over Tuoyun Mountain?"
"Don't be so anxious about this matter for now. Those casual cultivators are people who are accustomed to freedom. It is difficult for them to surrender to the sect so quickly. We should not interfere with the spiritual lineage of Tuoyun Mountain. Send a few more second-level formation masters over, and let the two disciples of Chen Jinliang go back and take a look first," Li Mufeng sighed.
After staying in Guyang Mountain for a few days, Song Qingming also said goodbye to everyone in the Xiaoyao Sect and returned to Qinghe County alone.
After learning that Xiaoyao Sect was going to attack Tiexianbao, Xiaoyao Sect immediately mobilized the entire power of the Wei Kingdom to prepare for a decisive battle with Jiuyuan Sect and Tiexianbao. The Song family, who was far away in Qinghe County, also received sect general affairs. The recruitment order issued by the palace began to get busy.
But before they could mobilize the monks and set out, the news that Song Qingming and other senior monks from the Xiaoyao Sect had broken through the Iron Immortal Castle and annihilated the Ma family quickly spread to Funiu Mountain, interrupting the busy figures of Song Qingyu and others. .
Seeing Song Qingming returning to Funiu Mountain from a distance, Song Qingyu and other elders of the Song family immediately came over to greet him with concern.
Including Song Qingyu, they received a letter from Xiaoyao Sect two days ago and learned that Song Qingming was injured in the battle of Iron Immortal Castle. Everyone in the Song family was also a little panicked.
Song Qingming has always been the biggest pillar of the entire Song family. If Song Qingming has any shortcomings, the Song family, which has just emerged, may fall back immediately.
Seeing everyone's concern for him, Song Qingming also smiled helplessly and explained. This time in Iron Fairy Castle, although Song Qingming's magic weapon was seriously damaged and could no longer be used, his injuries this time were not serious. Having lost some of the essence and blood in his body, Song Qingming just needs to practice patiently and take some time to warm up.
After learning about Song Qingming's situation, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan were relieved.
After returning to Funiu Mountain, Song Qingming immediately began to retreat to heal his injuries. His magic weapon was damaged, and even the corpse puppet "Golden Wind" was seriously injured. Although Song Qingming gained a lot from the battle at Iron Fairy Castle, Spiritual objects and good deeds of the sect, but they also come at a price.
Less than two months after Song Qingming retreated to recover from his injuries, Funiu Mountain suddenly welcomed two stranger guests, forcing Song Qingming to choose to leave the retreat early.
"Senior Song, we have something urgent to ask for your help. I hope you can forgive me for being rude." As soon as they saw Song Qingming walking in, Zhang Rong and Lin Yutang stood up and saluted him.
