After dealing with the Sweeper Monk, Xu Xiao looked back.
They discovered that Qiao Feng had already led his men to fight against the monks of the Xuan generation, and there was also an old man who looked exactly like him beside them.
It should be his biological father, Xiao Yuanshan.
Qiao Feng and the Deputy Commander of the Wu generation of the Martial Command Office fought against the Shaolin monks of the Xuan generation, while Xiao Yuanshan fought against Murong Bo alone. On the outside, the soldiers of the Martial Command Office besieged the Shaolin.
The fighting was fierce and dangerous, with murderous intent lurking everywhere.
Xu Xiao glanced at it a few times before flying back to the dragon carriage, his interest waning.
These petty squabbles no longer held his attention; the only thing he was certain of was that the Shaolin Temple must be wiped out once again today.
Those who dare to disobey his orders will pay the price with their blood.
The battle lasted for half an hour. After half an hour, the last Shaolin monk was killed by soldiers of the Martial Command Office with a spear. The entire battlefield was littered with corpses.
Of course, the vast majority of them were from Shaolin Temple. The Martial Command Office's soldiers suffered very few casualties. Another part consisted of the Prefectural Army that had been mobilized. These were ordinary people's troops, and they were still prone to death in such a chaotic battle.
The task of cleaning up the battlefield was handled by the soldiers of the Martial Command Office. They would collect all the valuables and scriptures carried by the Shaolin Temple monks, and throw the corpses into the fire to be burned.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to clean up the battlefield, Qiao Feng also brought his Khitan father back to express his gratitude.
"Thank you, sir, for giving my family the opportunity to avenge our family. Qiao Feng swears he will never forget this!"
Qiao Feng first respectfully kowtowed to Xu Xiao, and then introduced his father to Xu Xiao.
"Sir, this is..."
"I know, your biological parents, Xiao Yuanshan." Xu Xiao nodded on the dragon carriage.
Xiao Yuanshan, who was standing to the side, had also been instructed by Qiao Feng and dared not be negligent in the slightest. He also knelt down on one knee to pay his respects.
" Xiao Yuanshan greets Your Excellency and expresses his gratitude for your kindness towards his son. This favor will never be forgotten."
"Alright, alright. No need for all that formality. I only have one question for you."
"From now on, Qiao Feng will stay with me to fight against others. What about you? Do you still want to return to Liao and cause trouble for the Han people, or do you also want to join my ranks and serve me?"
Xu Xiao asked.
Xiao Yuanshan also has good martial arts talent. Qiao Feng inherited his skills from him, and if Xiao Yuanshan is willing to serve him, Qiao Feng wouldn't mind taking him on.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuanshan turned to look at Qiao Feng, and seeing the other nod, he nodded without hesitation.
"I would gladly die for you, sir!"
"Alright, then you'll serve under your son. From today onward, there will still be places where you'll be of use."
"I don't distinguish between Han Chinese and Khitan; as long as you work hard, I treat you all equally."
Xu Xiao nodded, which was considered an acceptance of the other party's loyalty.
The battle at Shaolin Temple shocked the world!
The renowned Shaolin on Mount Song was burned to the ground, and all its disciples were killed without exception.
After the army left, some martial arts practitioners secretly went to Mount Song to investigate, and indeed, apart from the strong smell of blood, there was nothing else.
Many Martial Command Office, spread the word about everything they saw.
For a time, the fearsome reputation of Martial Command Office was unparalleled in the martial arts world, and all the people in the lake were terrified and turned pale at the mere mention of its name.
The Martial Command Office not only did not deny everything that was circulating in the martial arts world, but also provided reasons for it.
The reason they were exterminated was because the Shaolin Temple members attacked the messenger when the Martial Command Office tried to persuade them, showing contempt for the authority of the Martial Command Office.
Furthermore, it added a reminder to other martial arts sects to disband their forces as soon as possible, and if they still wanted to continue practicing martial arts or make a future, then they should join the Martial Command Office.
Afterwards, the Martial Command Office will classify, integrate, organize, and regulate all martial arts in the world.
All martial arts practitioners must register with the Martial Command Office; otherwise, they will be considered to be engaging in unauthorized martial arts and will be arrested and hunted down by the Martial Command Office.
This statement shocked the entire world. Martial artists from both the Great Song and other regions voiced their opposition, but to no avail.
Xu Xiao was determined to control the martial arts of the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils World. He not only collected martial arts from various schools, but also had talented people who were proficient in martial arts, Daoist Canon, medical classics and other fields start to organize and summarize the martial arts in the Jianghu.
If the Carefree Sect possesses a martial arts technique that leads to enlightenment and resembles immortality, then there must be other similar techniques among all martial arts in the world.
Xu Xiao not only pursued the Carefree Wind Riding Technique, but also wanted to gather the power of everyone in the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils World to create a unique divine skill suitable for him.
Of course, this is just a concept, and it will take a considerable amount of time to implement it and obtain results.
During this time, Xu Xiao did something else, something that ignited a great event throughout the Great Song, from the imperial court to the common people.
Let's rewind to the time when the Martial Command Office's horses trampled Shaolin.
Just three days after the Shaolin Temple tragedy, an urgent report came from the border.
The armies of Liao, Tubo, and Western Xia, which had been stationed along the border, all launched a joint attack on the Great Song. At the same time, many martial arts practitioners within the country were also stirring with ambition.
This was because news of the Shaolin Temple tragedy spread like wildfire, making foreign tribes realize that now was the best time.
They believed that the Martial Command Office's ruthless methods in purging the country's martial arts organizations would inevitably provoke a backlash from the martial arts community.
Therefore, they launched attacks against the Great Song at this time, determined to take another piece of flesh from it.
When Xu Xiao received this news, he was still staying in Dengfeng and simply laughed it off.
If a person doesn't hit a dog, but the vicious dog bites first, then don't blame it for being ruthless.
"My lord, Qiao Feng is willing to lead the disciples of the Martial Command Office to the front lines to serve the country."
Qiao Feng, with a heart full of patriotism, was the first to stand up and petition.
"My lord, I too am willing to go to the front lines and serve my country!"
Not only him, but all the other Deputy Commander of the Martial Command Office also knelt down to petition.
However, Xu Xiao, who was sitting at the head of the table, did not agree to anyone's request and instead made arrangements on his own.
" Qiao Feng, you should stay in the country and continue the task of rectifying the martial arts sects, while also guarding against these guys colluding with outsiders to stir up trouble."
" Wu 3 and Wu 4, you two go to Western Xia, contact the spies we've already placed, and find all the members of the Western Xia royal family."
" Wu 5, go to Dali and find the ruling Gao Family and some other powerful local chieftains."
" Wu 6, Wu 7, you two are going to Tubo. Find their royalty, lamas, and other decision-makers for me."
"As for Wu 8 and Wu 9, you will remain in the country to monitor every move. If any subject or noble family makes any unusual move, you may execute them first and report later."
"This time, I will personally lead the army to the battlefield and annihilate the invading forces in one fell swoop. Then I will march on from country to country and kill all the rulers in their countries."
"And you, your task is simply to cooperate with me in finding these people."
A chilling murderous intent permeated the house, making everyone feel terrified, but then a surge of excitement followed.
No one doubted that Xu Xiao couldn't do it; after all, he was the man who gave the Martial Command Office its confidence.
