Chapter 263 Bai Laogui
"fire!"

"boom……!"

"Rumble...!!!"

Another series of artillery shells were fired, and thousands of shells were accurately fired into the city of Xuzhou.

Countless houses were destroyed, countless rebels were torn to pieces, and the majestic walls of Xuzhou city were also crumbling under the attack of so many shells.

at last.

After more than ten rounds of bombing, the entire wall of Xuzhou city was finally collapsed.

A large number of rebels fell like dumplings from the gaps in the city walls. From the imperial army camp, one could clearly see the chaotic rebels and civilians in Xuzhou city.

"All troops charge!!!"

At the command, 100,000 vanguards of the imperial court quickly rushed into the city of Xuzhou.

"kill!"

"Confer titles on my wife and my son, today!"

"Soldiers! Charge with me!"

"Kill!"

Dozens of lieutenant generals, guerrillas, and captains roared and charged forward, leading their soldiers to kill fiercely into the city of Xuzhou.

"puff!"

"kill!"

"Pfft!"

In the chaotic battlefield, soldiers and rebels kept fighting, and they fell down in an instant and were trampled into meat paste by those who came later.

Looking around, the entire Xuzhou city was surrounded by imperial troops and rebels fighting each other.

Following the vanguard, Xu Mujun, surrounded by several people, also entered Xuzhou City.

"Pass this general's order!"

"Kill anyone holding a sharp weapon!"

"Anyone who glares at you will be killed!"

"Kill those who swear!"

"Kill those who are diehard rebels!"

"Anyone who is hostile to my imperial army can be killed, be it the elderly, women, or children!"

With each order given, countless imperial troops fought selflessly.

Screams, the sound of sharp weapons cutting flesh, as well as shouts, explosions, and the sound of burning flames continued to be heard, surrounding the entire Xuzhou city.

"General!"

One of the subordinates said: "Xuzhou City is very dangerous, please stay in the center of the army, and leave the rest to me!"

"Ah."

Xu Mujun said calmly, "There must be monks hiding in Xuzhou City. You must be careful. Once you find a monk, send a message immediately through fireworks. I will do it myself. Do you understand?"

"promise!"

Except for the reserve troops and the royal army, the rest of the army almost came out in full force and gradually cleared the city of Xuzhou.

Xu Mujun, on the other hand, led a large number of his own troops to garrison on a section of the city wall that was still intact, carefully observing the entire Xuzhou city.

"Strange...where is the monk?"

After most of the day, the shouting and killing sounds in the chaotic Xuzhou City had decreased a lot, but Xu Mujun's eyes were full of confusion.

"Logically speaking, when Xuzhou City was destroyed, it should have been the best time for those monks to launch a sneak attack. Why haven't they been seen until now?"

"Did he run away?"

"Hahaha...Xu Mujun, there's no need to wait. There's no aura of cultivators in Xuzhou City!"

At this time, Xiong Gang, a man with bronze skin and a burly figure, strode over.

"I just used mystical techniques to investigate, and there is no trace of a cultivator in the entire city of Xuzhou!"

Xu Mujun asked curiously, "Brother Xiong, as far as I know, all cultivators have some methods to restrain their own aura. Did you miss it?"

"impossible!"

Xiong Gang said: "My Wanshou Wujiang Sect does not search for cultivators based on the fluctuations of their spiritual energy, but through their breathing, their own aura, and the smell on their bodies."

"There is not a trace of spiritual energy in the entire city of Xuzhou."

"It seems that they have become cowards, hahahaha..."

Xu Mujun frowned slightly: "Will the monk... run away when besieged by mortals?"

"Why not?" Xiong Gang said coldly, "The cultivators cherish their lives because they have the hope of immortality, especially the old immortals, who cherish their lives even more!"

"If you find that there is danger to your life, you will run for your life."

"The last time that cultivator attacked, we easily counterattacked him. It seems that this also sounded a warning to the cultivators in Xuzhou City. Otherwise, they wouldn't have run away so fast!"

"Did you run away?"

Xu Mujun's eyes were full of doubts, but he still said: "Send an order, order the Dragon Scale Army to quickly occupy Prince Chen's Mansion and search for all suspicious people."

"promise!"

The Dragon Scale Army obeyed the order, and hundreds of fully armed elite cavalry quickly rushed into the city and headed towards Prince Chen's Mansion.

Late into the night, the fighting continued.

Under the joint siege of many soldiers, Chen Wang Mansion was finally breached.

Xu Mujun also received the news from Prince Chen's Mansion at the first opportunity.

"What did you say... More than 300 people in Prince Chen's mansion were all killed!?"

"Yes! General!"

The subordinate said respectfully: "The Chen Palace, along with all the members of the Chen Wang Zheng Zongkai and the Princess, have been killed!"

"Where's Zheng Yuanfa?"

They had already found out that the core figure of Chen Wang's rebellion was Chen Wang's son Zheng Yuanfa.

It was this man who became a monk, imprisoned King Chen, and then led his army in a rebellion.

"Not found!"

The subordinate said, "But General, we have discovered this thing."

"Bring it up!"

Soon, the Dragon Scale Army came up carrying several corpses and placed them parallel to the ground.

"General, look, there are four bodies here. They are Chen Wang Zheng Zongkai, officials of the palace, rebel soldiers, and refugees in the city."

Xu Mujun looked carefully and soon his pupils shrank.

"White Lotus!"

On the forehead of each of their corpses, there was a lotus mark deep enough to see the bone.

These are the symbols of the core disciples of the White Lotus Sect.

In other words... the rebellion of Prince Chen was entirely caused by the White Lotus Sect.

In other words... the entire Chen Palace, from the King of Chen to the menial servants, had all been killed by the White Lotus Sect!
"White Lotus Sect, White Lotus Sect..."

"White Lotus!"

Xiong Gang at the side also said: "This is the White Lotus Mark, which is the specialty of the White Lotus Sect leader Bai Laogui. I didn't expect that he is still alive!"

"Brother Xiong, do you know anyone from the White Lotus Sect, especially the leader of the White Lotus Sect?"

"Of course."

Xiong Gang said: "Old Ghost Bai had already reached the Great Perfection of Qi Training thirty years ago, and he has been looking for an opportunity to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

"It's a pity that after all these years, there has been no intelligence."

"I thought he had passed away, but I didn't expect him to sneak into Prince Chen's mansion."

"That's not right. If we calculate based on the time, he must be at least 170 or 180 years old. How could he live that long?"

"Or is it some secret technique to prolong life?"

"Old White Ghost, Old White Ghost..."

Xu Mujun muttered to himself, looking at the chaotic city of Xuzhou and the corpses on the ground, his mind spinning rapidly.

"The White Lotus Sect... is the best at rebellion. During the more than 300 years that Dayu has existed, there have been more than 20 rebellions by the White Lotus Sect alone, an average of once every ten years."

"In addition to rebellion, the White Lotus Sect is also best at... assassinating the emperor!"

Xu Mujun's pupils suddenly lit up, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! The White Lotus Sect left Xuzhou City to us, and he led people to assassinate His Majesty!"

"Oh?"

Xiong Gang also nodded and said, "This is something that Old Ghost Bai can do. After all, he is a cultivator. It would be easy for him to kill a mortal..."

Xu Mujun turned and left without waiting for him to finish.

"Brother Xu, where are you going?"

"Go back to Beijing!"

"Eight hundred miles in a hurry!!!"
