After receiving the ssage, Wang Xiaoqiang and Wenn Tianliang t imdiately to discuss the matter. They first contacted Ling Xuefei through a communication talisman to gain a further understanding of the situation.
The news they got was that a cultivation family with the surna Lii had so business disputes with the Ling Family and, relying on their massive power and wealth, attacked the Ling Family with the intent to annihilate them.
However, the Lii Family hesitated to act against Ling Xuefei's family because she was an assassin for the Wind Rain Pavilion.
After obtaining precise information, Wang Xiaoqiang and Wenn Tianliang both expressed their opinions.
Their opinions diverged, as Wang Xiaoqiang was exceedingly anxious and eager to help Ling Xuefei. Although Ling Xuefei wasn't his woman, he had a fondness for her, and she was very caring towards him.
Moreover, they had shared life-and-death experiences several tis. During the mission to kill the Sky Obscuring Lord, Ling Xuefei had indeed helped him, so now that Ling Xuefei was in trouble, Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't ignore her plight.
However, Wenn Tianliang's opinion was... to act according to protocol.
In the Biluo Realm, conflicts between cultivation families happened from ti to ti, often quite tragically. As long as it didn't affect others, there was no power to intervene, even if, due to business disputes, the Lii Family acted against the Ling Family. If the Ling Family was weak and got annexed or destroyed by the Lii Family, even though it was outrageous, the Wind Rain Pavilion neither had the authority nor the duty to intervene. The Wind Rain Pavilion only had the authority and responsibility to protect assassins within the organization and their imdiate family, not other relatives and friends.
This has been the rule of the Wind Rain Pavilion, unchanged for thousands of years since its establishnt, and it certainly wouldn't change now.
Wenn Tianliang said, "Since the Lii Family didn't act against Ling Xuefei's family, according to the rules, there is no need for us, the Wind Rain Pavilion, to take action..."
Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Rules are dead, but people are alive."
"Deacon Wang, don't forget, we are an assassin organization, not a great sect, with the loyalty and brotherhood among us. We are not a charitable rescue organization either. To deploy the entire Wind Rain Pavilion's power for one assassin... In short, you need to rember, we are assassins..."
Wang Xiaoqiang angrily retorted, "So what if we are assassins? Should assassins be heartless? Can't assassins have brotherly and sisterly bonds? When an assassin is in trouble, can't others co to help? To put it bluntly, if your Wenn Tianliang's family was in trouble one day, would you just sit back and do nothing?"
Wang Xiaoqiang's words were sharp, leaving Wenn Tianliang speechless.
Wenn Tianliang, with a troubled expression and sighing, said, "Little Qiang, to be honest, if anyone in the organization is in trouble, I'd want to help too, but the rules of the Wind Rain Pavilion can't change. Once an exception is made, it becos uncontrollable. We have nearly a hundred assassins in the Anyang Region's Wind Rain Pavilion. If everyone facing difficulties seeks help from the organization, how should Wind Rain Pavilion deal with it?"
"Make a special exception, gather a few brothers with high cultivation bases to go," Wang Xiaoqiang suggested.
"Special exceptions can only be made by the Sect Leader Sir and the Deputy Tower Master Lord. No one else has that authority. And even then, it must be done in extrely secret conditions. Now that this matter is known to everyone, if we make a special exception now, there will likely be a second and third and even fourth special exception in the future. By then, exceptions won't be exceptions... Wind Rain Pavilion will no longer be Wind Rain Pavilion..." Wenn Tianliang spread his hands, indicating helplessness, powerless.
Wenn Tianliang's reasoning finally frustrated Wang Xiaoqiang. He abruptly stood up and said, "Alright, I'll go alone. I represent myself, is that acceptable?"
"Of course, it is, but I must remind you, you're not allowed to use your powers or call upon any other assassins..." Wenn Tianliang solemnly reminded.
"Don't worry, I'll go alone. I won't call anyone." Wang Xiaoqiang left behind these cold words and then left.
...
"Little Qiang, we will go too." Wang Xiaoqiang had not yet exited the Wind Rain Pavilion when Ding Chunqiu and Fairy Zixia had already caught up, evidently having heard the news.
Wang Xiaoqiang hadn't told them about this matter, mainly considering their inadequate cultivation base; going would not help but rather hinder him.
"You... better not go." Wang Xiaoqiang glanced at the two and shook his head, "This isn't in accordance with the rules."
"Little Qiang, I am not an assassin of Wind Rain Pavilion, so Wind Rain Pavilion has no authority over ." Fairy Zixia said. "Today I must go with you."
"What nonsense rules... Little Qiang, no matter where you go, you are my rule. Whatever Wang Xiaoqiang wants to do is in compliance with the rules, and whatever he doesn't want to do is not in compliance with the rules," Ding Chunqiu declared staunchly, also showing his blind loyalty to Wang Xiaoqiang.
Seeing that the two insisted on following, Wang Xiaoqiang could hardly stop them. Thinking perhaps they could sowhat help, he nodded and said, "Alright, let's go together, but everything must be under my command. No reckless actions."
Both of them nodded.
With the plan set, the three flew out of the Wind Rain Pavilion together, heading towards Ling Xuefei's hotown.
Ling Xuefei's hotown was in a place called Snow Stone City within the Anyang Region, over three thousand miles away from Wind Rain Pavilion. For an ordinary person, it might take several days by carriage, but for the three immortals, it was rely an incense stick ti.
When Wang Xiaoqiang and the others arrived at Snow Stone City, the Lii Family was still wantonly massacring the Ling Family mbers. The Ling Family was just a small family, with so wealth but never strong in power. Though there were so talents like Ling Xuefei in the family, compared to the massive Lii Family, they were still too weak. The Lii Family was imnsely powerful, with substantial financial resources.
The Lii Family was the number one cultivation family in Snow Stone City. Before suppressing the Ling Family, the Lii Family had gained the support of two other major families in Snow Stone City, one with the surna "Teng," and the other "Ma."
The Ma and Teng families not only didn't oppose the Lii Family's suppression of the Ling Family but also secretly sent several experts from their clans to assist the Lii Family. The purpose was to share the spoils after the Ling Family was overthrown.
The Ling Family, a small family, had been doing well in business over the past few years, earning a lot of money, which made others envious. The Lii Family, using a slight friction as a pretext, allied with the Ma and Teng families to overthrow the Ling Family, mainly to seize the Ling Family's wealth.
...
"Kill, kill all the n of the Ling Family!"
"Rob, rob all the Ling Family won!"
"Burn, burn down the Ling Family manor!"
After several hours of fierce fighting, the Lii Family, seeing that strong fighters of the Ling Family were still resisting tenaciously and unable to completely overthrow the Ling Family in a short ti, beca especially irritable and brutal. Thus, they disregarded the final bottom line and directly executed the strategy of kill, rob, and burn, performing the most frenzied suppression on the Ling Family...
When Wang Xiaoqiang, Ding Chunqiu, and Fairy Zixia flew over Snow Stone City, they saw smoke and fire filling the massive city, the Ling Family manor was in flas, chaos everywhere, corpses piled up, rivers of blood, and a strong sll of blood...
Led by Ling Xuefei, the strong fighters of the Ling Family were still desperately resisting. However, above the Ling Family manor, the Lii Family swarm were densely packed, divided into over ten groups, with each group led by two to three powerful figures of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm. Their strength was formidable.
Swish...
After several hours of bloody battle, a Ling Family man, exhausted, unexpectedly had his head chopped off by a Lii Family expert with one slash,
The head rolled far like a blood ball, trailing a shockingly scarlet line. The body collapsed as blood gushed out, behind him was a woman and two children he had been protecting, the mother and children cried out loud, heart-wrenchingly...
Too painful to witness!
After killing the Ling Family man, the Lii Family expert glanced coldly and violently at the mother and children. Seeing that the woman had a few beautiful features, he pulled a lewd and cruel smile at the corner of his mouth, then step by step, walked towards the lamb-like woman and her two children...
