Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

Chapter 1233

As the head of the Zhang family in Nancheng shouted these words towards the door...

Xu Da Guanren, who was originally sitting outside the main gate, swung his arm in the process!

The next second, a surge of energy containing the power of heaven and earth rushed into the Cui family's ancestral home!

Just as the combined force of Yuan Qingshan and the Iron Blood Hall experts was about to rush towards the dozen or so family heads and officials, a burst of energy casually flicked out by Xu Shan immediately blocked their heads from a distance.

'boom! '

The two powerful forces collided, producing a piercing sound.

'puff! '

"what……"

The Iron Blood Hall elders, who had intensified their attack, coughed up blood in that instant and staggered back several steps before barely managing to regain their balance.

Those weaker worshippers immediately screamed in agony as their bodies flew out like cannonballs.

Even Yuan Qingshan felt immense pressure after facing off against Xu Shan remotely.

Although he wasn't as disheveled as the elders and retainers of the Iron Blood Hall, he still managed to take a step back with his left foot in that instant, barely managing to steady himself after his toes slammed into the ground.

"what?"

'Clatter.'

The guests, who were initially stunned by what they saw, quickly followed the Zhang family patriarch, Ma Ruteng, and others as they rushed out of the Cui family ancestral home.

In that instant, a member of the Cui family, who was about to stop them, shouted, "Let's see who dares to leave!"

"Do you want to die?"

"Third Young Master, don't go any further."

Sensing something vaguely, Yuan Qingshan immediately screamed.

'boom. ’

"Ow."

But no sooner had he finished speaking than the third son of the Cui family, who was skilled in martial arts, rushed out, only to be bounced back by an invisible force.

He crashed heavily to the ground and immediately let out a piercing scream.

'puff. '

Without waiting for the Cui family guards to help him up, Cui Laosan, whose internal organs had been ravaged by the hidden force, immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He then fainted in a pool of blood!

"Don't move forward!"

“The other party’s words became law, and he used his internal energy to set up a barrier from a distance.”

'bass.'

As he said this, Yuan Qingshan, who was always ready for battle, took the lead and stood in front of Old Master Cui and the others.

He gripped his sword tightly in his hand, a sword that had not been drawn for more than a decade.

This scene alone shocked the usually arrogant and domineering members of the Cui family.

Because, in their memory, they had never seen the Sword Master Yuan draw his sword on his own initiative.

It is said that the last time he used a sword was in Wudi City.

But now?

Xu Shan, who sat calmly by the main gate of the ancestral home, merely made a move from a distance. Yet, this made Xu Shan so cautious that he immediately drew his sword!

From this point alone, and the miserable state of the Iron Blood Hall elders and retainers nearby, one can deduce just how strong that young, crimson figure truly is!

How critical is the situation now!

"Quick, run!"

"Let's take advantage of this opportunity, with Duke Xu covering for us, and leave quickly."

The remaining few dozen guests hurriedly ran out of the Cui family ancestral home as the two sides briefly stopped fighting.

At this moment, the guests and officials, led by Ma Ruteng and the head of the Zhang family, stood respectfully in front of Xu Shan with cold sweat on their foreheads, expressing their loyalty!

"Our family (noble clan) owes its current status entirely to the imperial court's protection!"

"Though my abilities are limited, I am willing to do my part for the Ming Dynasty."

Upon hearing these words from the family heads and guests, Master Xu, who had slowly risen to his feet, smiled calmly and said, "Gentlemen, you are truly joking."

"You are all the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty in the north!"

"My lord, if we wish to drive out the Tartars and barbarians, we will have to rely on your logistical support."

'Plop.'

After Xu Shan finished speaking with a forced smile, Ma Ruteng, the head of the Zhang family, and others were the first to kneel down on the ground.

Upon seeing this, the other guests and officials followed suit, kneeling and chanting in unison.

"We are willing to follow the lead of Duke Xu."

"I will do my best to serve you!"

They all knew that if they didn't take the initiative to express their stance now, after the Cui family was wiped out, they wouldn't even get a share of the spoils. They'd be lucky if the Embroidered Uniform Guard didn't retaliate later.

Therefore, when they shouted these words, each one was more sincere than the last.

Each one is working harder than the last!

But when this deafening resonance reached the ears of the Cui family from the inside out, it was like a bolt from the blue.

"A bunch of treacherous, disloyal dogs."

"Do you really think that by groveling before Xu Shan, you can ensure your safety?"

"He's a butcher; when the time comes to settle scores, few can survive his embroidered spring blade."

Upon hearing the roars of the Cui family members inside the courtyard, Ma Ruteng and other family heads and officials subconsciously looked up at Xu Da Guanren, who was standing there.

"His Majesty instructed us before we arrived..."

"If you all are wholeheartedly devoted to the court and do your utmost in the actions to come..."

"All the unpleasant things that happened before can be forgiven!"

"But all of this is predicated on the fact that you all are of one mind with the court and stand united against external threats. It is not like the Cui family of Qinghe, who betray their own country and collude with the enemy!"

After Xu Shan finished speaking, Ma Ruteng and other family heads were the first to declare: "We swear to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty to the death and to follow His Majesty to the death."

"I am willing to give my all to drive out the Tartars and barbarians from Northern Liang!"

After he finished speaking, Xu Shan glanced at them and replied with a smile, "Don't worry, as long as you keep your word, the Ming Dynasty will not treat you unfairly!"

After saying this, Xu Shan turned to the Imperial Guards behind him and said, "Pass the word down..."

"It's time to start."

"Kill if you deserve it, scratch if you deserve it!"

"If the sky falls, I, the Duke, will bear the burden alone."

"Yes."

'Pah-ta-ta.'

After saying this, the Imperial Guard spurred his horse forward and detonated a cloud-piercing slingshot.

At the same time, he shouted loudly, "The Duke of Xu has given an order..."

"Slay them all, leave no one alive!"

'Hiss.'

Upon hearing these piercing chants, let alone the family heads and guests who had "abandoned darkness for light" present, they were all horrified.

Even the Cui family members and Yuan Qingshan inside the ancestral home couldn't help but gasp in shock.

This is the Cui family of Qinghe!

It has been passed down through more than ten generations.

Regardless of which emperor ascended the throne, their primary goal was to win them over.

After all, their influence in the north was unparalleled throughout the entire Ming Dynasty.

This is precisely why the Cui family members of Qinghe are all arrogant and haughty.

Using this influence, they stirred up trouble in the north. They even hedged their bets.

In order to profit from the national crisis and expand their influence in the north, they deliberately lured the Tartars south, providing them with equipment.

This forced the imperial court to compromise with them.

But now?

Duke Xu, showing no mercy to the other party, directly issued a 'massacre order'.

How could this not shock them?

Just as they stood there, stunned, Xu Shan, alone, walked once again to the front of the Cui family's ancestral home and looked up at the golden plaque above his head.

His eyes were filled with disdain!
