Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

253  Chapter 228: Handling the Aftermath

"How much better it would've been to say this earlier, instead of us having to beat you up."

Tao Yu shook his head and reabsorbed the sky full of Blood Dragons back into the bloody mist.

After recalling the Blood Dragons, he calculated he had about a quarter of his endurance left, but due to [One Proof Forever Proof], there wouldn't be a significant impact until one element was completely depleted.

"We were deluded, having believed Cheng Kun's nonsense."

"It's all our fault."

"Cheng Kun deserves to die!"

"..."

The Five Elders of Kongtong were sitting collapsed on the ground at this point, looking at Xian Yutong's dead body, and began to hastily admit their wrongdoings.

They had to admit it, or else!

If he's going to go back and attack our master, that would be truly disgraceful!

We came here seeking support, only to be beaten to this state.

If we go and attack our master, wouldn't that be total disaster?

"That Cheng Kun really committed heinous crimes; he deserved to die!"

"It was all him, causing so many years of bloodshed in the Martial World."

"My purse went missing on the way here, it must have been that scoundrel who stole it!"

"My undergarments are also missing, it must be him!"

"I fell off my horse, it was definitely him attacking in secret."

"..."

The people from the six major sects unleashed their verbal tirades against Cheng Kun's body, condemning him with words.

They truly had the capability to kill all of us!

Even piling up on him turned out to be useless!

The daunting words of the Monk Kong Zhi turned out to be true!

The only one who was silent, holding the Heavenly Sword with a pale face due to the enormous expenditure of Inner Strength, was the Abbess Miejue.

Others might have been wronged, but her senior brother had been infuriated to death by Yang Xiao, and her most talented disciple had been defiled by Yang Xiao, giving birth to a bastard child.

Another person who felt the indignation was Yin Lihua of the Wudang.

Being one of the victims, he was still kept in the dark at this moment.

And five of the Seven Heroes of Wudang had been tied up by the three Blood Dragons, now drained of both blood and energy, leaving him no choice but to watch Yang Xiao helplessly, without any means to intervene.

On another note, once Song Yuanqiao recovered a bit of his Inner Strength, he and Zhang Wuji recognized their blood relation.

With this new familial connection, the atmosphere on the scene softened considerably.

On the other hand, Yang Xiao and others were still unable to snap back to reality for a long time.

Not to mention them, even Fu Yi, who had experienced the strength of Tao Yu's qi wall, and Shi Zuoshi had never imagined their Sect Hierarch was so powerful! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

With the show of strength from his qi wall, they could accept their Hierarch displaying such power.

The key issue was that they could not understand how the Hierarch, after displaying such divine might, could still appear unruffled, without so much as blushing or panting, which was terrifying!

"Why should it be only your Hierarch? He also entered our Yang Hierarch's secret chamber; he's our Hierarch too!"

Yang Xiao argued with a sense of righteousness, despite being injured.

"You're talking nonsense! The Hierarch came from our side; your Hierarch is him! He's also very powerful, having reached the seventh level of the Great Shift of Qiankun already."

Fu Yi and Shi Zuoshi stared at each other.

But upon hearing that Zhang Wuji had reached the seventh level of the Great Shift of Qiankun, Yang Xiao's expression softened a bit.

Although there was a gap compared to the thirty-first generation Hierarch, it wasn't too bad.

It seemed like it wasn't unacceptable.

Just that it was a bit hard to swallow after the comparison…

"Alright, let bygones be bygones. I've already told you about the Abyss; try to integrate all your strengths as much as you can."

Tao Yu casually interrupted the argument between Yang Xiao and Fu Yi, then casually mentioned,

"That Cheng Kun was able to bring so much gunpowder and stir up trouble in the Martial World over the years, I suspect he had other backing."

"It wasn't us!"

Kong Zhi blurted out in shock, quickly disassociating himself, which made Tao Yu give him a sidelong glance—what a timid soul.

"I'm not talking about you."

"I think it's the imperial court; the Yuan dynasty is cruel and has long wanted to put our Martial World in order. If they hadn't been held up by the Tujue people, they would have probably dealt with us long ago."

The five elders of Kongtong hastily picked a scapegoat—and they hit the nail on the head by sheer fluke!

"Indeed, it's quite possible, so there might be other ambushes waiting for you on your way back."

The world had already changed drastically. Tao Yu felt that even besieging Bright Summit was done out of habit, but capturing the experts of the Six Major Sects might not go as usual.

Now, the Yuan army is battling with the Tujue on the steppes, and it's unclear how much strength Zhao Min still has in her hands.

If she doesn't have enough forces to detain the experts of the Six Major Sects, it's not impossible that she would simply have them all killed!

But Tao Yu didn't really care about the wellbeing of these high-level experts from the Six Major Sects.

The key consideration was that, next door, it's Divine Sculpture, and here, it's Heaven Sword.

Martial Artists, or at least the genuinely skillful ones, probably wouldn't number more than ten thousand.

In fact, these people are the true essence and wealth of these two worlds.

Since he had already made the effort to subdue the experts of the Six Major Sects,

Tao Yu thought he should get some sort of return on his efforts and not let them be wasted.

If they were all killed on the way back, it would truly be a case of the chickens flying and the eggs breaking.

Tao Yu had spent too much time traveling to the Western Regions; after sorting things out here, he still had to make a trip back to the present day, and he also needed to settle the Titans' business on the return journey, so he didn't want to waste too much time on Zhao Min's attack on the Six Major Sects.

"Does Sect Hierarch Tao have any advice?"

Kong Zhi clasped his hands together and earnestly sought guidance.

No matter whether it was as his opponent had said, he needed to be tactful enough to partake in the conversation.

After Zhang Sanfeng became unbeatable, when facing this real person Zhang, they had been just as cautious.

And now, a more ferocious figure had appeared.

What a calamity!

"My suggestion is that Wuji and I accompany you on your journey back, and then let's capture the Yuan official in charge. Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

"Brilliant, brilliant!"

The monk Kong Xing also expressed his admiration from the side.

This sort of empty flattery left Tao Yu a bit speechless.

Had he said something profound?

But indeed, such words could only be confidently spoken by Tao Yu after he had demonstrated his divine might.

Anyone else saying them would indeed be laughed at.

"Let's rest briefly and then set off. I have some things to attend to when I return."

Tao Yu didn't allow the battered folks from the Six Major Sects much time to heal their wounds.

Then he turned to Shi Zuoshi and said,

"I'll leave this place in your care. Later, I'll arrange some tasks for you all."

"We follow your orders, Sect Hierarch!"

...

Below Bright Summit, on a high ground with a vast view, stands a desolate area with only a few sparse weeds.

A young lady on horseback is surveying the landscape ahead amid a crowd of people attending to her, like stars surrounding the moon.

The girl on the horse is exceptionally beautiful and possesses an innate noble elegance; she is Zhao Min, specifically in charge of Martial World affairs.

Currently, she's accompanied by martial artists such as Fan Yao, disguised as a suffering monk, the Xuanming Elders, and the Eight Heroes of Divine Archery.

Behind her is nearly a thousand cavalry from the steppes!

Nearly a thousand of these cavalries are elite.

Actually, if discussing this force alone, facing either the Six Major Sects or Ming Cult would be rather awkward.

The Ming Cult's Five Elements Banner alone would give them a tough fight.

However, after successfully inciting conflict between the Six Major Sects and Ming Cult, leading to the siege of Bright Summit,

This force becomes super powerful for mopping up the aftermath.

Moreover, with the Ten Fragrances Tender Muscle Powder, a top-tier poison targeting Martial Artists, if they could catch them off guard and seize the initiative, the scattered Six Major Sects would have no chance of escape...
