Chapter 169 - 169: 130: The Rebellion of the Five Poisons (Part 3)

Bloody scenes filled Baling City, accompanied by the wails of thousands of people.

Countless people heard the thunderous boom, followed by the collapse of houses and the ground sinking, leaving a trail of dead bodies.

The two Inborn Grandmasters of the Qiang People and Miao People joined forces, giving the Yue people a horrifying New Year surprise.

This New Year surprise was received by Lu Yuan two days after it happened.

“What? The Commander was assassinated!”

In the Prefecture Yamen, the flustered Lu Yuan was stunned upon hearing the message conveyed by Cui Changqing.

The Commander of Dongting County was an Inborn expert and a grandmaster.

It was a joke that a man who had reached the pinnacle of martial arts through his physical prowess would be assassinated.

“There is no mistake about the news. This is an order personally handed down by the Prefect. Just two days ago, at midnight, the Commander was assassinated in his mansion. His corpse has been examined, and it is indeed confirmed that he is dead.”

The Prefect Cui also looked shocked and saddened after recovering from the shock.

During this difficult time, the loss of an Inborn Grandmaster was like losing a giant pillar that supported the heavens.

This was especially true for Dongting County.

Without the deterrence of an Inborn Grandmaster, it was hard to imagine what chaos would ensue here.

Gulp!

Once again confirming the accuracy of the news, Lu Yuan couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. Then, suppressing the shock in his heart, he asked, “Who did it, has it been found out?”

Cui Changqing replied angrily, “According to the traces left at the scene and the injuries on the victim, the attacker should be the false Emperor of Xi Shu, Li Xiong. His Cotton Yuan Sword is very distinctive.

At the same time, the Five Poison Sect in our county is suspected of assisting the assassination.”

Among the bandit corpses left at the scene, in addition to two famous top-notch experts from the Shu State, the left and right protectors of the Five Poison Sect were also found.

These demonic sect members were utterly heinous, wantonly poisoning within the city. Besides the death of the Wuyang Marquis, thousands of innocent civilians were also poisoned and killed by these sect members.

It was truly a crime against heaven.”

Li Xiong and the Five Poison Sect were behind this? Lu Yuan couldn’t help but be shocked again when hearing this news.

It was understandable for Li Xiong to be involved since he was an Inborn

Emperor and had the qualification to assassinate an Inborn Grandmaster.

But when did the Five Poison Sect become so bold as to participate in such a plan? Weren’t they afraid of the imperial court’s reprisal afterward?

Even if one Wuyang Marquis had died, there were still four other Inborn Grandmasters left in the imperial court.

Moreover, the strength of each of the remaining four was said to be even stronger than that of the Wuyang Marquis.

Marquis of Wuan, Bai Mengyang, was about to arrive at Dongting County with his troops. Weren’t the Five Poison Sect afraid of being attacked by this Marquis after committing such a crime?

With the strength of the four top-ranked members of the Five Poison Sect, were they really confident that they could withstand the retaliation of an Inborn Grandmaster?

‘I always feel that the Five Poison Sect shouldn’t be so foolish. If they really wanted to rebel, they would have done so when Jinghai Country was not yet conquered. Why would they wait until now?

So this time, their actions must be based on certain assurances.

But what kind of confidence and assurances could allow them to withstand an

Inborn Grandmaster…’

As this thought crossed his mind, Lu Yuan’s heart tensed up, and his eyes widened as a possibility occurred to him.

Taking a deep breath, he turned to look at Cui Changqing and asked, “Has the

Five Poison Sect produced an Inborn Grandmaster?”

The Prefect nodded solemnly, “Although there is no clear information yet, judging from the traces left in the great battle that night, the Five Poison Sect should have someone who has reached the Innate Realm.

That’s why they were able to envelop an area of hundreds of feet in a short time, poisoning thousands of people.

Only when two Grandmasters join forces could the successful assassination of the Wuyang Marquis be explained.”

Hearing this speculation, Lu Yuan’s heart sank, and he asked with a grim expression, ‘What does the county government plan to do now?”

Cui Changqing replied solemnly, “The Prefect believes that since the Five Poison Sect dared to join the Shu thieves in assassinating the Wuyang Marquis, they must have rebellious intentions. This sect has always been restless, frequently inciting local Miao People to rebel.

This time, they probably saw that Marquis Wuan would soon arrive in the county with his army and feared being held accountable by the court. Hence, they committed such treasonous acts.

Therefore, the Prefect thinks that since the Five Poison Sect dared to assassinate the Wuyang Marquis, they will not stop there.

Considering their influence among the Miao People, they may soon stir up

rebellion and create chaos in various places.

Thus, the county government immediately sent an order to inform all prefectures and counties to fortify their city defenses and be on guard against

Miao People’s rebellion.”

At this point, Prefect Cui looked at Lu Yuan and said, “Commander Lu, as the Chief of the Military Officials of the Prefecture, you are in charge of guarding against the Miao People’s rebellion.

Rest assured, the Prefecture will fully support and coordinate all logistical and military provisions, so you won’t have any worries.”

Lu Yuan knew that the situation was critical and important, and although he had some concerns, he nodded and said, “Sir, rest assured, with me here, the city will definitely be protected…”

But before he could even finish his sentence, there was a sudden urgent shout from outside.

“Report—

A man dressed as a postman burst in from outside, and upon seeing the two, he knelt down and handed over an urgent message, “Sirs, urgent news from Xinhua County. The local Miao People have rebelled, and now thousands of them have surrounded the county town.

Due to the sudden outbreak of the rebellion, there are only a hundred county soldiers and a few temporary recruits defending the city. The County Magistrate sends an urgent request for the Prefecture to dispatch reinforcements quickly.

Otherwise, it will be too late, and the city may fall.”

With a hint of despair, the postman brought the two men terrible news.

“The Miao People’s rebellion has come so quickly?”

Prefect Cui couldn’t believe the news.

Lu Yuan was also deeply shocked, but he had practiced martial arts for a long time and reacted more quickly. He immediately said, “Sir, the top priority right now is to quell the rebellion..”
