Chapter 2263: Incitement
Honestly speaking, Mei Wu’s daily nagging annoyed Ning Shu greatly. Whatever she wanted to do wouldn’t go smoothly because of it.
Ning Shu wasn’t the original host, whom Mei Wu protected and obeyed. She really wanted to get rid of this dead weight.
“I’m not going anywhere. I’ve just overeaten, so I want to go for a walk. You don’t need to follow me. Just wait for me inside.” Ning Shu pointed at Mei Wu. “Don’t follow me!”
Ning Shu wandered around the Zhao Clan Stronghold, which was currently housing many more people than usual. Its courtyard constantly had people walking around in it.
Ning Shu hid behind the rockery and threw a plum blossom dart from the Plum Blossom Villa on the butt of a Splendid Bright Sect disciple.
She also stabbed the sword of a Splendid Bright Sect disciple into the door of an Everlasting Sect disciple’s room.
When Ning Shu walked past the house where the monks were staying, she threw the manual in her robes into their yard.
The monks were all also martial arts practitioners. Therefore, they were all very alert to any movement. As soon as they looked out, they saw a figure trying to pick up something on the ground.
However, once they came out, that figure disappeared in a flash.
The monks picked up the object on the ground. They saw that it was a secret arts manual and quickly put it away.
Because of Ning Shu’s incitement, the Zhao Clan Stronghold was boiling with chaos. People could hear the fighting disciples’ colliding swords and swearing.
“Why would you throw a plum blossom dart around like that? You even stuck it on a person’s ass!” The disciple of Splendid Bright Sect was furious. “My junior is still bleeding. You are deliberately provoking us!”
“Why would we shoot the dart on someone’s butt? What a waste of a perfectly good dart,” a disciple from Plum Blossom Villa immediately retorted.
People in the martial world would fight at the slightest disagreements. These sects couldn’t co-exist without friction or grievance, even during ordinary times.
One party accused the other of doing something with undeniable evidence, yet the other party still actually refuted them.
Anyway, they began to fight noisily. When someone was fighting, someone else would naturally come along to mediate and accidentally get injured in the chaos.
“F*ck! Who hit me!?”
“Stop fighting…”
These sects’ disciples were all fighting each other. So many sects mixed without any harmony. The renowned righteous sects were full of discord, and their members didn’t get along with each other.
In the end, the fights evolved into a melee.
Everything was in chaos. The trees in the yard were upturned. The stone tables, the flowerpots, and so on were all broken.
People could disregard all sense once they entered an adrenaline rush. If they couldn’t win the fight, they’d simply recruit help. Everyone readily joined and began to cut each other down.
Ning Shu hid on the sidelines. She avoided the flowerpots and darts flying around her and went to find Zhao Bo.
Zhao Bo had hurried over. When Ning Shu saw Zhao Bo, she immediately tattled, “Uncle, those people are fighting.”
Zhao Bo was livid as he watched the chaos unfold. All kinds of weapons were flying around. He finally shouted, “Everyone, stop it!”
Zhao Bo was the leader of the martial alliance. However, since everyone was fighting mindlessly, they didn’t respond to Zhao Bo’s shout.
Zhao Bo’s expression was cold as he stretched out his hand to separate those who didn’t cease fighting.
He threw everyone apart one by one.
“Stop!” Zhao Bo furiously yelled from his dantian. His voice was deep and powerful, so much so that it hurt people’s ears.
Everyone covered their ears and finally quieted down.
“Who will tell me what happened?” Zhao Bo demanded coldly. His home was the place that got destroyed, after all.
“Leader, the disciples from Plum Blossom Villa are bullying others!”
“Nonsense. Don’t frame us. Plum Blossom Villa disciples are trained in fatal attacks, so why’d we do something as stupid as to shoot people in the ass?”
“People can be killed, but not insulted. You are deliberately humiliating people!”
