In the blink of an eye, a day passed.
In the eastern region of Daxia, many aristocratic sects were still in a stalemate with the imperial court.
These sects and aristocratic families were determined to protect the nine aristocratic families and sects whose main figures were killed by strong men sent by the imperial court.
Because they knew that if they gave in this time, it would be a huge blow to the morale of the family.
If the imperial court wants to take action against other aristocratic families in the future, it will no longer have any scruples.
The imperial court was responsible for the aftermath of the incident and the local government that ransacked the property.
Because there was no order from the imperial court, they neither dared to retreat nor take action against the interfering sects and aristocratic families.
They just sent troops to surround these intervening sects.
Neither side would give in.
at this time.
In the Yangzhou area, outside the Baili Family in Lingcheng.
The densely packed imperial officers and soldiers surrounded the Baili Family.
The mausoleum city that should have been bustling with activity was now deserted.
All the city residents were hiding in their homes, and pedestrians were also afraid to make any noise.
But if you look carefully, you can find that in the attics of various mansions in the city, figures are hiding behind the windows, staring in the direction of Baili Family, and talking in low voices.
The Baili Family is the largest family in Lingcheng. There are two powerful men in the realm of gods. They have a close relationship with the Ximen Family in Yangzhou City and have a high prestige in Lingcheng!
The Xijian Sect, which was surrounded and suppressed by troops sent by the imperial court this time for refusing to pay taxes, is also inextricably linked to the Baili Family.
At this moment, many disciples who escaped from the Xijian Sect were hiding in the Baili Family.
Facing the imperial court's crusade, the Baili Family refused to surrender and had been in a stalemate with the imperial officers and soldiers for a day and a night.
"Brother Baili, the court has not retreated, so nothing will happen, right?"
In Baili Shijia, a thin, wretched-looking man stood by the window, looking at the densely packed soldiers on the street outside, and said to a man next to him with a worried look on his face.
He is the deputy sect leader of Xijian Sect, named Lu Wei.
The night before yesterday, after witnessing the sect master and two supreme elders being killed by the terrifying young man in white, he led many disciples to escape down the mountain overnight and came to Baili Family to seek refuge.
Baili Su, the head of the Baili Family, was shocked when he heard about the situation of the Xijian Sect. He immediately asked the elders of the clan for instructions and asked about the stakes, and then took in the people of the Xijian Sect.
Sure enough, the next day, the imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress Xi Jian Sect.
All the disciples who stayed in the Xijian Sect were slaughtered, and all the remaining property was moved away!
Later, after hearing that the Baili Family had taken in the remaining disciples of the Xijian Sect, the imperial court immediately sent troops to surround the Baili Family and ordered the Baili Family to hand over the disciples of the Xijian Sect.
But knowing the stakes involved, how could the Baili Family be willing to hand over people and end up in a stalemate with the imperial officers and soldiers!
Inside the mansion, Baili Su said calmly: "Don't worry, this is the territory of the Ximen Family, and the imperial court has no control over it!"
"And I have already sent someone to notify the Ximen Family. The Ximen Family will not let this matter go unchecked!"
"That's good!"
Hearing this, Lu Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his skinny face.
The status of the Ximen Family is second to none in the entire Yangzhou region. If the Ximen Family also intervenes in this matter, the imperial court must be unwilling to become an enemy of the Ximen Family for such a trivial matter!
Next to him, Baili Su glanced at Lu Wei, who looked miserable, and a flash of disdain and disgust flashed deep in his eyes!
The wife of Lu Jing, the leader of Xijian Sect, is Baili Su's biological sister. The two families are related by marriage, and Lu Wei is Lu Jing's biological brother.
If it weren't for this relationship, he would not care about Lu Wei's life or death no matter what!
"Restrain your subordinates not to go out at will. As long as you stay at Baili Shijia, I can keep you safe and sound!"
After saying something calmly, Baili Su turned around and walked out, not wanting to stay here and see Lu Wei's unsightly appearance.
"Yes Yes!"
Lu Wei nodded quickly. At this time, only a fool would go out and die!
However.
Before Bailisu could go out, a figure came in a hurry!
"Master, a message from the Ximen Family!"
Baili Su paused, and Lu Wei looked curiously at the scroll in the guard's hand.
"bring here!"
Bailisu stepped forward, took the letter from the guard, opened it and read it.
But immediately afterwards, his face became more and more ugly!
"call……"
After a long time, Baili Su breathed out a sigh of relief and put the letter into his sleeve.
"Brother Baili, what's wrong?"
Noticing Baili Su's expression, Lu Wei asked cautiously, "What did the Ximen family say?"
"fine!"
Baili Su shook his head, his face calm, and his deep eyes slowly swept over Lu Wei.
"I'm leaving first, you can do it yourself!"
After saying that, Baili Su turned around and walked out the door.
Looking at Baili Su's hurried back, Lu Wei frowned, and suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.
But after a moment, he shook his head again, with a comforting smile on his face.
"The Ximen family has intervened. The court should not pursue you anymore. Everything will be fine!"
However!
Not even a moment has passed!
A cold voice suddenly sounded outside: "Search for me! All disciples of the Sword-Xin Sect will be killed without mercy!"
Lu Wei was suddenly startled, and his expression changed instantly!
Because this sound obviously did not come from outside Baili Shijia, but was right nearby!
Before he could react, the door was suddenly knocked open, and figures wearing armor and swords swarmed in!
Lu Wei looked horrified, and was about to break the window and escape, but his steps couldn't help but stop!
Because he saw Baili Su behind these court generals.
"Baili Su, you..."
Lu Wei's face was shocked and angry. Seeing this scene, he didn't understand why he didn't understand that he had been betrayed by Baili Su!
"The Xi Jian Sect violated the laws of Daxia and provoked the imperial court. Anyone who belongs to the Xi Jian Sect will be killed without mercy!"
Before Lu Wei could speak, several terrifying sword lights overwhelmed him.
Although Lu Wei is the deputy sect master of the Xijian Sect, his own cultivation is not at the level of the Golden Core. How could he be the opponent of these Nascent Soul generals!
Before he even had time to scream, he turned into a pool of flesh and blood and was wiped out in the room!
At the door, Bailisu looked gloomy and watched the scene quietly without saying a word.
"withdraw!"
After Lu Wei was beheaded, several generals looked indifferent and walked out of the door without any delay, then ran towards other directions.
Immediately afterwards, screams resounded throughout the Baili Family, one after another!
Half an hour later.
At the door of the Baili Family, the leading general in the transformation stage looked at Baili Su with an indifferent expression: "The Baili Family protected the imperial criminals. I will truthfully report it to the imperial court so that I can take care of myself!"
After saying that, he led the soldiers and left majestically!
There was silence in the mausoleum city!
Everyone walked out of the room and looked at Baili Su at the door of Baili Shi's house, with awe and curiosity on their faces.
The Baili Family was at odds with the imperial court and had protected the disciples of the Xi Jian Sect for a day and a night. Why did it suddenly give in now?
He even personally led the imperial army in to kill people!
OK?
And at the door of Bailishi's house.
After watching the imperial soldiers leave, Baili Su's face instantly turned ugly.
Ignoring the puzzled looks from all directions, he looked in the direction of Yangzhou City.
He didn't understand why the Ximen Family asked the Baili Family not to get involved in this matter!
…
at the same time.
It’s not just Bailishijia.
In the Yangzhou area, all the forces that participated in the imperial encirclement and suppression of the nine sects received letters from the Ximen family.
Tell them not to interfere in this matter, otherwise they will bear the consequences!
If something happens, the Ximen Family will not come forward to protect them!
Although I am puzzled by Ximen Family’s decision.
However, they have been in Yangzhou for many years, and their family power has long been inseparable from the Ximen Family. Strictly speaking, they are already regarded as affiliated forces of the Ximen Family.
When the Ximen family spoke, they naturally did not dare to disobey.
In the end, these forces had no choice but to hand over the members of the sect families who were surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court, just like the Baili Family, and get away from this matter.
However.
Although these aristocratic sects in the Yangzhou area have withdrawn from this matter.
However, of the nine aristocratic families and sects that were ordered to be exterminated by the imperial court, there are still two aristocratic families left, which are still protected by several forces.
These forces are all sect families from areas outside Yangzhou.
They have no relationship with the Ximen Family, so naturally they have not received any information from the Ximen Family.
They still thought that the other aristocratic sects were just like them, bent on preserving the forces that had been exterminated by the imperial court.
At this moment, there is still a stalemate with the imperial army.
And all this.
As the main person in this operation, Li Xiaoyao naturally didn't know.
At this time, he had left eastern Daxia and was in the southern region of Daxia!
