Chapter 370: 202: Destroying Iron Sword Sect

Translator: 549690339

“Iron Sword Sect has always been a vassal of Liuyang Sect. This time, our destruction of the sect might annoy Liuyang Sect, right?”

At this moment, Yan Wangqiu showed a trace of worry on his face and said, “Now that we are in a crucial moment, if we provoke Liuyang Sect to ally with the court, I’m afraid it will not be beneficial for our success.”

Actually, Yan Wangqiu had some opinions about Liuyang Sect in his heart.

After all, when Yin Huixuan went south, he swept through the martial arts world of Lingnan unbeaten, which severely damaged the reputation of Nanhai Sect.

At that time, to avoid Yin Huixuan’s sharpness, Yan Wangqiu even had to go out to escape from the battle, losing a lot of face.

So if he could strike against Liuyang Sect, Sect Master Yan would be very happy to see it.

But as the saying goes.

He wanted to see Liuyang Sect suffer, but was also afraid of them causing trouble. Being apprehensive like this, he was still hesitant to interfere.

Lu Yuan glanced at his increasingly cautious ally and said indifferently, “This time our action is extremely careful. We will destroy the Iron Sword Sect in one fell swoop. In two or three days, we can resolve this matter.

By then, the entire Iron Sword Sect will be wiped out. Even if the news goes out, how could Liuyang Sect know who did it?

By the time they find out, I’m afraid it will be several months later.

Moreover, there is also Dan Ding Path involved this time.

For any of us, Liuyang Sect is indeed not easy to provoke. But when it comes to Dan Ding Path, what does Liuyang Sect count as?

I’m afraid that when Yin Huixuan finds out that the murderer has a part of Dan Ding Path, he will be too scared to investigate further.

Even if we take a step back and talk about it.

Even if he really finds us, so what?

We have four Inborn Grandmasters, hundreds of thousands of troops, such strength, and a mere Liuyang Sect can really give us a hard time?”

As for annihilating the Iron Sword Sect, Lu Yuan had thought it through carefully.

Although Liuyang Sect posed some threat, it really wasn’t much of a threat, at least not as much as Dan Ding Path.

Now he even deceived Dan Ding Path and owed a debt on his body, wasn’t he still afraid of a Liuyang Sect?

Moreover, for Liuyang Sect, was a mere Iron Sword Sect really worth taking such a big risk in finding trouble with Lu Yuan and others?

After all, Lu Yuan and the others simply annihilated the Iron Sword Sect. They only took some floating wealth, but didn’t touch Luling’s territory at all.

As long as they didn’t reach into the martial arts world of Yuzhang Prefecture, they wouldn’t touch the core interests of Liuyang Sect.

Once this point was clear, Liuyang Sect was not likely to make a big move, and most likely, they would just swallow this loss in the end.

Therefore, the whole extermination operation was not very risky, and everything was under control.

Upon hearing Lu Yuan’s explanation, Yan Wangqiu nodded his head and said reluctantly, “Maybe it’s like that.”

“Brother Yan, we martial artists have done what we’ve done. Being timid and fearful is exceptionally contemptible. Isn’t it just Liuyang Sect? If I destroy their vassals, what can they do about it?”

Su Xuange glanced at the old man with some disdain and then looked at Lu Yuan. “Virtuous brother, do you need more manpower in this attack against Iron Sword Sect? If needed, I can help.”

Lu Yuan shook his head with a smile and said, “Thanks, Brother Su. However, for this extermination, Saintess Lan and I, two Inborn Grandmasters, are already enough.

On the contrary, this side will be defenseless when I leave, so I still need you two to look after it for me.

You two may stay here and watch our backs.”

Su Xuange said with some regret, “Is that so? Alright, virtuous brother, rest assured. With me and Brother Yan here, there won’t be any chaos in Shaoyang Prefecture.”

Lu Yuan saluted, “I trust you both.”

And so, the matter of attacking and destroying the Iron Sword Sect was settled.

Then the three talked about some other matters, mostly concerning the court, and talked for another hour, not dispersing until nearly noon.

On the second day, after arranging everything, Lu Yuan called Lan Zhaoyun and her daughter, and went to the barracks together, where they met up with Zhou Qing and the others who had been prepared.

With these selected disciples and personal guards, as well as the experts from Five Poisons Sect, Lu Yuan led a group of more than six hundred people, riding fast horses, and headed eastward mightily.

The road was covered with frost and snow, and the atmosphere was cold and murderous.

“Sect Leader, the total expenses for the sect’s celebrations during this year’s festival and the annual bonuses given to the disciples and elders have been calculated. It’s a total of 12,230 silver tales.”

Ding Xihua was reclining on a couch, playing with two large iron beads in his hand. Below him, an accountant was holding an account book and reporting to him as he flipped through the pages.

Upon hearing these accounts, Ding Xihua’s hand playing with the iron beads paused for a moment. He asked, “How much did the sect earn last year? How much is left in the account?”

The accountant replied, “Last year, the sect’s trade in the north and south made a profit of 157,300 silver tales. Local affiliated gangs contributed 82,000 silver tales. The income from the farms and shops totaled 75,400 silver tales.

In total, last year’s total income was 314,700 silver tales.

Last year, the monthly salary given to the sect’s inner disciples and elders was 123,000 silver tales. The expenses for various supplies within the sect were 50,000 silver tales. The costs of various festivals were 37,000 silver tales. The expenses for dealing with the martial arts world were 25,000 silver tales.

The total spending was 235,000 silver tales.

The annual surplus is 79,700 silver tales, which has been stored in our public account.”
