Chapter 346: 194: Discussion on Extermination of the Clan

You even managed to force Lan Zhaoyun to retreat back to his old nest, and now he’s come to seek peace.”

He was genuinely satisfied with this disciple of his.

Not only was he filial, but his abilities were also extraordinary.

Whether it was practicing martial arts or leading an army, he was top-notch.

Having Zhou Qing’s assistance saved Lu Yuan a lot of effort and allowed him to benefit greatly.

Even his breakthrough to the Innate realm now was partly due to the other party’s contributions.

All of these factors made him feel even more affection and protection towards this disciple.

“It’s thanks to the timely reinforcements sent by Master. If it wasn’t for the arrival of those ten thousand soldiers at the last moment, I wouldn’t have been able to defeat the Miao thieves, let alone defend Wuling Prefecture,” said Zhou Qing, remaining humble as ever in front of his master.

“Even so, being able to seize the opportunity and defeat the enemy is beyond the capabilities of the average person,” Lu Yuan laughed, quite pleased with his disciple’s modesty.

In this Jianghu world, the ability to maintain a level-headed mind and not be arrogant was a great quality to have, as it gave him a better chance of survival than most people. This was a good character trait.

Feeling comforted, he pondered for a moment before saying, “Now that I have broken through to the Innate realm, I have the strength to wipe out the Iron Sword Sect. Xiaoqing, I know that you have long harbored hatred towards the Iron Sword Sect and have always wanted to destroy them.

In a short time, I intend to take action and clear out the Iron Sword Sect.

Would you like to accompany me?”

As for Zhou Qing’s hatred towards the Iron Sword Sect, Lu Yuan didn’t want to say much.

Although the person who massacred his entire family had long been dead,

it was quite normal for his disciple to escalate his hatred towards the entire Iron Sword Sect in the current climate of the Jianghu.

After all, it was someone from the Iron Sword Sect who killed his entire family, wasn’t it?

So, in turn, what’s wrong with him wanting to destroy the entire Sect?

If you really want to blame someone, blame yourself for not exterminating the roots in the first place. Blame yourself for not teaching your disciple properly.

A victim filled with hatred in his eyes has no interest in hearing any high-minded principles.

It’s not your entire family that was killed, so of course, you can criticize from your high moral ground.

But whether they listen or not is up to them.

As expected,

the moment Zhou Qing heard Lu Yuan’s words, his eyes immediately turned bloodshot and he gritted his teeth, asking, “When does Master plan to take action?”

Lu Yuan pondered and then replied, “It should be within the next two months.”

The reason for planning to attack the Iron Sword Sect wasn’t entirely because of his disciple.

He had been considering wiping out the Iron Sword Sect for some time.

Initially, he wanted to seize the Tiejian Sword Technique, which complemented his Replenishing Qi Heart Sutra, from the Iron Sword Sect.

But after obtaining the top-tier secret book, the Chi Yang Divine Skill, from Zhou Qing, Lu Yuan naturally lost interest in the Tiejian Sword Technique.

Therefore, dealing with the Iron Sword Sect had become a matter of supporting his own disciple.

But now…

Lu Yuan’s desire to attack the Iron Sword Sect was purely for its wealth.

It couldn’t be helped. Recruiting fifty thousand new soldiers, and within just two short months, the expenses, including settling them in, had reached nearly one million silver taels.

This consumption was truly horrifying.

Meanwhile, the disciple he sent to Jiangxia County in Liang Country to find the Dan Ding Path had not sent back any news. It was unclear how the situation was progressing and whether any financial support could be gained from Anqiu.

Seeing his savings dwindle by the day and the future expenditure continuously increasing,

Lu Yuan, who was already responsible for the livelihood of over a hundred thousand people, had no choice but to start thinking about how to raise a sum of money quickly.

So, what’s the fastest way to make money?

Of course, it’s by killing and arson.

After some contemplation, as Lu Yuan looked around, he found that among those with whom he had conflicts and who were also wealthy, the Iron Sword Sect in Luling Prefecture seemed to be the only one.

Firstly, the Iron Sword Sect was at odds with his disciple, so destroying them would be a form of revenge for his disciple.

Secondly, the Iron Sword Sect was wealthy.

Just how rich was the Iron Sword Sect?

Take this for example: the entire Luling Prefecture had over a hundred thousand households, totaling more than six hundred thousand people.

Moreover, the prefecture was a land of fish and rice, always abundant in grain, and a hub connecting four counties, making it prosperous in terms of commerce and trade.

Lu Yuan, originally from Luling Prefecture, knew very well the wealth of the prefecture.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the financial income of a single Luling Prefecture was on par with the five southern prefectures in his hands.

And the Iron Sword Sect occupied such a fertile land.

Imagine the wealth accumulated by the Iron Sword Sect over hundreds of years.

‘If I manage to eliminate them, even if those assets like fields and shops cannot be immediately monetized, I should still be able to gain at least three to five million silver taels from their liquid assets.

With this money, the pressure of supporting my army can be alleviated.’

Lu Yuan confidently thought about this and was certain that the Iron Sword Sect possessed this much wealth.

After all, when he previously wiped out the Seven Star Sect, the income from the silver, jewelry, and antiques alone exceeded one million silver taels.

As the territory occupied by the Iron Sword Sect far surpassed that of the Seven Star Sect, it was reasonable to expect several times more profit.

Zhou Qing, after getting a definite time-window, immediately said, “In that case, I will return and handle the transition of military affairs. I’m sure the army will be fine under the supervision of my junior-disciple Deng.”

The disciple named Deng mentioned by Zhou Qing was Deng Zhaoxing, an outstanding registered disciple of Lu Yuan’s, and his strength had already reached the second-rate level.
