“This question is too easy! The answer is definitely A!”
Tian Boguang glanced at the four options and chose A without hesitation. He was different from Long Xiaoyun.
Long Xiaoyun was a hypocrite, but he was an open scoundrel. And so was Zuo Lengchan. They didn’t believe in nonsense like ‘winning hearts before conquering territories.’ To them, power was the ultimate truth.
“As long as I am strong, I can dominate others.”
To Tian Boguang, if the Songshan Sect were himself, then the other Four Mountain Sects were just ‘flowers’ waiting to be picked.
Did he ever try to reason with the women he pursued?
Of course not!
He relied on brute force to take what he wanted.
After all, they couldn’t resist. Might makes right. That was the law he lived by.
What others thought—was it important?
Not at all.
By now, all five participants had made their choices and seen each other’s answers. When Long Xiaoyun and Yilin saw that three people had chosen A, their hearts sank.
Although they had chosen D, meaning only one fewer vote…
The problem was, Ye Luochuan and Lianxing had both answered correctly in the previous question. This realization made both of them incredibly nervous.
…
【Sun Moon Cult’s Shangguan Yun】: Hahaha! Three people chose A! Seems like the so-called righteous sects aren’t as noble as they claim!
【Sun Moon Cult’s Tong Baixiong】: Heh, after what happened with the Qingcheng Sect, who would still trust the Songshan Sect?
【Ancestor Zu Qianqiu】: The little nun believes in them.
【Old Master Lao Touzi】: The little nun is like a blank sheet of paper—so naive it’s pitiful. Her choice is meaningless.
【Hengshan Sect Leader Mo Da】: Just because more people pick an option doesn’t mean it’s right. I still trust the character of my fellow Songshan sect members.
【Mount Hua Sect Leader Yue Buqun】: I feel the same.
【Hengshan Sect’s Master Dingyi】: It cannot be A! Even if it’s B, A is out of the question! I was present at the scene—I would never allow such a massacre!
【Five Poison Sect Leader Lan Fenghuang】: Sigh, haven’t you all figured it out yet? Not a single Songshan disciple has dared to speak up. The answer is obvious.
[…].
The chat was filled with discussion.
…
Inside the livestream, When Long Xiaoyun and Yilin saw Lan Fenghuang’s comment, their hearts sank completely. Long Xiaoyun’s face turned pale, while Yilin’s expression was filled with fear.
“Young Master Ye, looks like we got it right again.”
Lianxing’s radiant beauty was filled with anticipation. She was eager to see what reward she would get this time. In truth, more than a breakthrough in martial cultivation, she longed for a treasure that could heal her crippled limbs.
Her disability had been a thorn in her heart for over thirty years. Ye Luochuan nodded slightly, just about to speak, when the system suddenly announced the correct answer.
_____
【Time’s up.】
【Correct answer: A】
The moment the announcement was made, the paused screen resumed.
Faced with the Songshan Sect’s aggressive intimidation, Liu Zhengfeng refused to back down.
One of the Thirteen Songshan Guardians, ‘Towering Palm’ Ding Mian, first killed Liu Zhengfeng’s disciple, Xiang Danian.
Liu Zhengfeng, furious, captured another Guardian, “Great Songyang Hand” Fei Bin.
With Fei Bin as a hostage, Liu Zhengfeng tried to negotiate safe retirement from the martial world. But the Songshan Sect refused.
At a subtle signal from “Crane Hand” Lu Bai, one of the second-generation disciples, Di Xiu, pressed his sword against Liu Zhengfeng’s eldest son’s back.
Liu Zhengfeng smiled bitterly and asked, “Son, are you afraid to die?”
His son replied, “Father, I will do as you say—I am not afraid!”
Liu Zhengfeng said, “Good child!”
Lu Bai coldly ordered, “Kill him!”
Di Xiu thrust his short sword forward, stabbing Liu Zhengfeng’s son straight through the heart. Blood gushed from the wound as Liu Zhengfeng’s son collapsed.
Liu’s wife screamed and threw herself onto their son’s corpse. Lu Bai gave another order.
“Kill her!”
Di Xiu raised his sword and stabbed Liu Zhengfeng’s wife in the back.
_____
“BEASTS!”
Master Dingyi of the Hengshan Sect was enraged and struck at Di Xiu. Ding Mian intercepted her. Master Dingyi wasn’t known for her palm strength, and her strike against Di Xiu had been intended as a warning, not a lethal attack.
However, Ding Mian suddenly attacked with full force, unleashing a devastating palm strike. When their palms met, Master Dingyi felt a tidal wave of force crashing down upon her. By the time she tried to gather her inner strength, it was already too late.
Ding Mian’s formidable energy surged forward, and Master Dingyi spat out blood. Furious, she prepared to strike again. But as soon as she summoned her inner energy, she felt a stabbing pain in her dantian—she was badly injured. She had no choice but to retreat.
_____
With no one left to stop them, the Songshan Sect continued their slaughter.
Liu Zhengfeng’s daughter, Liu Qing, cursed them, shouting, “Vile scum! Your Songshan Sect is a hundred times more despicable than the Demonic Cult!”
But before she could say another word, Songshan disciple Wan Daping cleaved her in half with a single sword stroke—from her right shoulder down to her waist.
In moments, the Liu residence was covered in corpses. Only one child remained—Liu Zhengfeng’s youngest and most beloved son, Liu Qin. The Songshan Sect forced Liu Qin to beg for his life.
And he obeyed, Liu Zhengfeng, who had remained composed until now—even after watching his wife and children die—finally snapped.
When he saw his son groveling for mercy, he roared in fury.
“You unworthy child! How can you face your mother?”
With that, Liu Zhengfeng sighed deeply, released Fei Bin, and drew his own sword. He prepared to end his own life.

The screen froze. The answer had been revealed. For a moment, the livestream chat fell into absolute silence.
Then, as if the stillness had reached its breaking point, the chat erupted in a frenzy!
