My Wife Is The Leader Of A Demonic Cult

As the words fell, the entire Great Hall erupted into an uproar!

No one had expected that the Cao Family\'s merchant ship had been plundered by the Su Family. All eyes instantly turned to Cao Hongkou.

Cao Hongkou\'s face was somber as his eyes fixed on Su Ze, "Patriarch Su, do you not owe Cao an explanation?"

The chill in Cao Hongkou\'s words was palpable to everyone present.

"Explanation?"

Su Ze smiled faintly, calmly saying, "Patriarch Cao, don\'t be used by someone with an agenda. Liu Shize had ceased being a guest elder of my Su Family two months ago, and as for the claim of plundering your merchant ship, it is entirely fabricated."

Cao Hongkou\'s face was like frost, "You say he\'s no longer your Su Family\'s guest elder, and that\'s that? The witness is right here, yet you outright deny it. It seems to me that the one fabricating stories is you."

With these words, Cao Hongkou slowly stood up.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Su Ze did not move, but Su Rui and other experts behind him all stood up in an instant.

In no time at all, the atmosphere in the Great Hall became delicate.

Everyone else was slightly startled, not expecting to see such a tense scene before the people from the Cao Gang even arrived.

The Su Family and the Cao Family, two of Jiangnan Dao\'s four great families, were facing off against each other.

At this moment, An Jing, wearing a dark cyan cape, walked slowly into the room, and then blended into the crowd. He sighed in relief when he saw Zhao Qingmei and Tan Yun standing in the corner.

Seeing this, Fa Wu stepped forward and said, "Venerable guests, today is our Sect\'s Ullambana Festival. I implore everyone to refrain from reckless violence."

Those present paid no attention to the young monk.

"The \'witness\' you speak of is nothing more than a guest elder who betrayed and fled my Su Family two months ago. Does that count as a witness?"

Su Ze\'s figure moved, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Liu Shize, saying, "Speak, who is the mastermind behind you? Otherwise, I will kill you on the spot."

Cao Hongkou\'s figure flashed, his momentum like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, his claw reaching out towards Liu Shize.

Su Ze narrowed his eyes and flung Liu Shize towards him.

"Bang!"

With a single palm strike from Cao Hongkou, Liu Shize\'s entire body turned into a mist of blood.

The whole Great Hall fell silent instantly.

"Well, well, what a way to destroy the corpse and erase all traces." Cao Hongkou laughed angrily.

The people from the Cao Family behind him also stood up one after another, glaring angrily at the Su Family experts across the room.

"Patriarch Cao, don\'t be deceived by those with an ulterior motive," Su Ze said indifferently.

"Patriarch Su, are you referring to me as someone with an ulterior motive?" Ming Jinghua narrowed his eyes and stood up displeasedly.

"What are you doing?"

Just then, a cold voice came from the back of the hall.

"Vice Gang Leader Guo!"

"Vice Gang Leader Guo!"

...

Seeing the newcomer, even Mu Jinglun, who had been seated, rose to his feet.

"What\'s happened?" Guo Yuchun first glanced at the bloodstains on the ground and then asked.

Cao Hongkou was first to speak, "My Cao Family\'s merchant ship was plundered by the Su Family, and just now, Patriarch Su killed the witness."

Su Ze said mildly, "Patriarch Cao is mistaken. First, that man was not a witness; he was just a guest elder who betrayed my Su Family and tried to frame us. Second, he was not killed by me; it was you who killed him. Everyone present saw it clearly."

"Enough, we\'ll discuss this matter later."

Guo Yuchun interrupted Cao Hongkou, who wanted to continue speaking, and instead turned to the crowd, saying, "Our Cao Gang didn\'t summon everyone here to handle such trifles. Today, we\'re here to discuss countermeasures against the Demon Sect."

Upon hearing this, Cao Hongkou huffed loudly and then sat down.

"Lately, those demon fiends from the Demon Sect have been continuously challenging the authority of our Cao Gang, killing our brothers. After extensive investigation, we have tracked down and killed one of these demon fiends. Come, bring out the corpse."

"I didn\'t expect Xue Chen to be that peerless swordsman."

"The Cao Gang truly lives up to its reputation, even killing a First Grade expert."

"This was a high-ranking expert of the Demon Sect, they\'re really coming."

"The Cao Gang indeed has the bearing of a leader among the gangs in the world, even slaying a Demon Sect expert."

.....

The moment they saw the corpse, a wave of murmuring rose among those present, like a mountain erupting into a tsunami.

Even the experts from the four major families showed expressions of shock, their eyes fixed on the dead body.

That top expert, who split the dungeon with a single sword strike and made Hong Yuanwu change color, that peerless swordsman who killed the ones on Tieyun Mountain, he was actually dead.

Su Ze\'s eyes were filled with doubt and surprise as he said, "Is it really the Floating Blood Sword!?"

Initially, he hadn\'t fully believed the words released by the Cao Gang, since they could have been a ruse, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he had to believe it. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Sigh."

Su Rui\'s face showed no emotion, but he sighed heavily in his heart.

No matter what, this peerless swordsman who had killed those on Tieyun Mountain was a benefactor to his Su Family, but now he had been killed by someone from the Cao Gang, and they planned to behead him, yet he was powerless to do anything.

"So, this peerless swordsman was actually Xue Chen," Ming Jinghua said, her expression somewhat complex.

When the peerless swordsman first gained fame, she too had sent people to investigate the swordsman\'s whereabouts and identity, intending to secretly recruit him to the Ming Family, but there had been no news. She didn\'t expect the man to be Xue Chen.

"No matter how powerful this peerless swordsman is, he couldn\'t escape Deputy Gang Leader Guo\'s \'Heaven and Earth Net,\'" said Cao Hongkou with a low, soft chuckle.

Cao Ling\'er, standing behind the Cao Family, also couldn\'t help but take several more glances. After all, this peerless swordsman had been one of the most talked-about figures in Jiangnan Dao recently, and even she couldn\'t help but feel more curious about him.

From a distant corner, Tan Yun couldn\'t help but sneer, "These fools. When did Xue Chen join our Demon Sect? Even we ourselves don\'t know, yet they seem so sure."

21:31

Zhao Qingmei\'s mind was filled with thoughts, wondering whether this was a ruse by the Cao Gang or if they really had mistaken Xue Chen for a member of the Demon Sect.

"Father, I feel something\'s off," Mu Jie said, standing behind Mu Jinglun.

"What\'s off?" Mu Jinglun asked indifferently, "Is it because the swordsman is Xue Chen? Or is it because of your unconventional aunt?"

Mu Jinglun\'s tone was very calm, certain that the corpse was indeed that of the peerless swordsman.

Mu Jie hesitated for a moment but ultimately said nothing.

The people present had varied expressions and reactions, but deep down, they all felt a greater fear towards the Cao Gang.

If a peerless swordsman capable of killing those on Tieyun Mountain, a First Grade expert rumored to be, could fall in an instant under the might of the enormous Cao Gang, how could they not be surprised, or afraid?

Fa Wu slightly bowed his head, his hands together in prayer.

"Behead him! Hang his head on the walls of Yu State City for three days and nights," Guo Yuchun commanded, quite pleased with the scene.

"Yes."

Bian Fang nodded, then drew a long knife and approached the body of Xue Chen.

Many shook their heads and sighed at this sight; such a swordsman was, after all, unable to stand against the grand hand of the Cao Gang.

"Xue Chen, oh Xue Chen, blame yourself for offending our Cao Gang."

Bian Fang scoffed, and his long knife swung downward.

Tan Yun took a deep breath, preparing to chant a command.

And in the next moment, a cold light shot out from afar, and then spread throughout the entire Great Hall.
