Chapter 769: No Resistance, Surprise

Fierce!
For the first time, Qin Yun felt a deep chill emanating from this young man in front of her, who had yet to leave school and enter society.
After all, the origin of this incident was the Mu family’s bold entry into Yangzhou, where they established a branch temple on the territory of Lingxiao Palace, provoking resentment and resistance from Lingxiao Palace. Encouraged by Yipin Hall, they then carried out a destruction plan for various reasons…
Yet Lingxiao Palace not only gained nothing from this plan but also lost tens of thousands of soldiers!
On the other hand, the Mu family swallowed up all the cities along the southern coast controlled by Lingxiao Palace, with tens of thousands of casualties…
If it weren’t for the Mu family secretly provoking Qin Qing from behind the scenes, things probably wouldn’t have escalated to this point.
Moreover, as two parties that had once met officially and exchanged interactions, Kai Xin decided without hesitation to completely destroy Lingxiao Palace.
For the first time, Qin Yun realized she had underestimated this student, who was a few years younger than her. He certainly didn’t resemble a student at all! He was cunning, meticulously planned, and utterly merciless to his enemies!
“What an ambitious Kai Xin…”
Qin Yun’s chest heaved violently as she stared intently into Kai Xin’s eyes. “Even if this mistake lies with us at Lingxiao Palace, it seems you deliberately aim to destroy us… Hmph! Everyone in the martial world says that Yipin Hall’s leader Meng Yun is ambitious, and they say the Qin sisters of Lingxiao Palace are ambitious too! But in my eyes, you’re the most ambitious person!!”
Kai Xin ignored Qin Yun’s accusations and criticisms. Calmly, he passed by the three of them and landed on the roof. From above, he looked around—there was no one left inside the main hall of Lingxiao Palace.
Lingxiao Palace’s complete refusal to resist also left the experts from the Mu family and Xifeng Tower stunned and somewhat calmer.
Qin Yun’s move was indeed clever. A complete refusal to resist could easily earn sympathy!
Unfortunately, aside from Kai Xin, who was determined to destroy Lingxiao Palace and eliminate its biggest ally that Yipin Hall might recruit, as well as the top gang with the closest ties to foreign forces, there were also those who hated Lingxiao Palace deeply!
A group of Mu family experts who broke through from Yangzhou… led by Yin Hu… After finding no one to kill, Yin Hu glanced at Kai Xin on the roof and firmly ordered, “Focus all firepower and destroy the foundation stones of Lingxiao Palace’s main hall at full speed!”
Frequent explosions echoed throughout Lingxiao Palace’s main hall. The people from Xifeng Tower guarded the perimeter warily, allowing the Mu family’s men to destroy the foundation stones, deeply shaken by what they saw.

Since the arrival of the troops led by Kai Xin, the tens of thousands of soldiers in Lingxiao Palace within Yangzhou City seemed like mere decorations…
Bang!
Clang!! Boom!!!
Intense gusts of wind continuously struck the foundation stones of the gang, relentlessly.
Outside the main hall…
Numerous martial artists watching the battle held their breath as a large group from the Mu family took turns attacking the unguarded foundation stones, filled with shock.
Was Lingxiao Palace planning to end like this?
One of the top gangs in the Central Plains, glorious for months…
Was this its fate against the Mu family?
The situation inside Lingxiao Palace was extremely strange.
All its members gathered around the main hall, their eyes filled with anger and helplessness, allowing the Mu family’s troops to attack the foundation stones; Qin Yun, Shangguan Lian, and Hai Dongqing stood unarmed in the courtyard; on the roof of the main hall, Kai Xin stood with his hands tied behind his back, heartless and ignoring everything around him, staring only northward, his expression unreadable.
…
As time passed, the defense value of Lingxiao Palace’s foundation stones declined rapidly, gradually cracking into lines.
The Mu family’s troops continued to attack tirelessly, without pause.
Several times, those outside the main hall tried to rush in, only to be met with Kai Xin’s, Yin Hu’s, and others’ expectant gazes, as well as Qin Yun’s, Shangguan Lian’s, and others’ rebukes!
Qin Yun and the others knew…
Although Lingxiao Palace still had a clear numerical advantage and control through the control of the Martial Temple, with Kai Xin in charge, the experts from Longmen had no chance to show their skills. Hao Tian, Li Qing, and others even dared not appear on the front lines—who could withstand their might? Going up there was just asking for death.
It might even worsen the situation!
Qin Yun still hadn’t given up.
She hoped that the collapse of Lingxiao Palace’s main hall and its attitude could cause Kai Xin to waver even slightly…
If that could be achieved, Lingxiao Palace still had a chance to turn things around.
Standing atop the roof, Kai Xin watched Qin Yun’s actions with disdain in his heart.
The first time they provoked him, he could forgive Lingxiao Palace because their grudges weren’t deep, and Qin Qing was still sensible enough to know they couldn’t compete with the Mu family.
But now…
The growth of Yipin Hall! The involvement of cunning overseas forces like Longmen had changed everything!
All this had awakened Kai Xin!
Due to various reasons and considerations, Kai Xin hadn’t taken action against Yipin Hall; but he couldn’t delay any longer.
The alliance of the two top gangs could already shake the Mu family…

Today, the Mu family lost one-third of its elite forces. But if this happened again, it would completely shake the foundations of the Mu family! Happy would never allow such a thing to happen again. The Lingxiao Palace… is already a highly unstable and dangerous factor. The martial arts world of the Central Plains… Perhaps the Mu family doesn’t want to see another ambitious figure like Meng Yun or Qin Qing emerge in that world. Since they’ve decided to take action this time… they might as well resolve all these troubles once and for all! The Lingxiao Palace must be destroyed. As for the Yipin Hall… traveling thousands of miles and mobilizing troops might still be impossible at the moment. But Happy is already secretly planning to focus on dealing with the Yipin Hall in the coming time to dampen their arrogance. Meng Yun thought that eliminating a nine-tailed fox that had just reached the Mythical Realm would restore the Yipin Hall’s prestige… Unbeknownst to him, there were two figures in the Mythical Realm who died at his hands. The two elders of the northern clans, “Jin Jiu” and “Yin Shi,” were both peerless masters in the early stages of the Mythical Realm, with wealth no less than that of the nine-tailed fox. The Yipin Hall’s delusion of using this to regain their dominance and reach the pinnacle of the Central Plains’ martial arts world is nothing but a foolish dream! … “After dealing with the Lingxiao Palace this time, the Xi Feng Tower… can appoint Mei Ying as the agent in charge of the coastal areas to manage those cities. There’s no urgency for the Mu family to get directly involved.” Happy was well aware that the Mu family had suffered significant losses, and any move they made could easily weaken their foundations. It would be difficult for other branches to dispatch large numbers of troops to the eastern coast—this wasn’t the time to risk everything; the Mu family was the backbone and home for countless of its disciples. Just as Happy was pondering how to end this matter and planning for the eastern coastal cities, suddenly, there was turmoil outside the main headquarters in the distance… Teams of elite Jinyiwei warriors in splendid uniforms entered Happy’s sight with astonishing momentum.
