Chapter 248: Chapter 150: The Leader of the Righteous Path? Wrong, I’m from the Chaotic Camp!

```html

When Gu Shanhai returned to the surface, it was already six months later. The delay was mainly due to further optimization of the compression process for the Nine Extremes Outer Pill and continual supplementation of the Outer Elixir Technique.

But after coming out six months later, Gu Shanhai found that it seemed like the whole world had changed.

First, there was the imperial court; it was no more. Yes, just gone.

The one who made the move was Huang Yanshan, but nobody knew the situation; it was just this sorry state when he inquired.

It is said that he acted in the capital city, tearing the entire city to shreds. The heads of the royal family members were neatly lined up and hung at the entrance of the Imperial Palace.

Next was the Heavenly Sect Demon Gate; both major powers were now closed off, seemingly also having suffered heavy damage.

The Heavenly Sect was still manageable, as they were strict in managing their disciples, so disciples of the Heavenly Sect were no longer seen in the Jianghu. On the other hand, the Demon Sect was different; each disciple was difficult to control and full of arrogance. After the Demon Sect closed its doors, those left in the Jianghu became increasingly rampant.

These matters were unrelated to Gu Shanhai; he only wanted to know what exactly had happened to Huang Yanshan, who was now strong enough to tear apart an entire capital city.

"Pure faith and extreme emotions have influenced the changes in Huang Yanshan’s strength."

"So something must have provoked him; otherwise, merely facing danger wouldn’t have led to such a significant change."

Gu Shanhai understood that if a Heavenly Person descended to hunt down Huang Yanshan, even if Huang Yanshan couldn’t defeat them, that would be normal, at most rumors would have spread in the Jianghu about being pursued and escaping, not going berserk.

Conversely, it must have been some form of mental provocation that triggered such an anomaly in him.

"Did the honored officials of the court dig up his family’s graves to threaten Huang Yanshan into handing over the ’Purple Profound Thunder Skill’ or something..."

After much thought, aside from Heavenly City’s Heavenly People, the imperial court might also covet Huang Yanshan’s Martial Arts Technique, which was a very likely possibility; otherwise, Huang Yanshan could not have gone mad to such an extent.

Of course, the court’s officials wouldn’t truly be dedicated to serving Heavenly City like dogs. They already held high official ranks, and after tasting power, who would want to kneel if it didn’t even earn them money?

Moreover, if they obtained the "Purple Profound Thunder Skill," they could not only rejuvenate and live forever but also gain immense strength. Past secret scriptures of divine skills lacked these abilities, so naturally, their enthusiasm waned.

Furthermore, since Gu Shanhai had disappeared for some time, the court thought they had seized the opportunity. If they got their hands on the technique first and offered Gu Shanhai compensation after the fact was established, everyone would have benefited. But they did not expect Huang Yanshan’s strength to be so outrageous.

"Next, the pressing matter is to find Huang Yanshan first; he has the Spirit Plant I need." Gu Shanhai’s expression also turned somewhat unsightly.

Just because he hadn’t shown himself for half a year, the people of the Jianghu thought he no longer had a deterrent presence.

Truly, the Jianghu is like web traffic; if you don’t show your face for a long time, rumors of your martial prowess being exhausted or even being defeated by someone else would spread.

People would stop at nothing for the sake of fame and profit.

Chivalry is not the Jianghu; real-world connections and interests are what constitute the Jianghu.

"Eh, isn’t that Master Lu? I heard that Master Lu lost all his strength from refining the Nine Grasses Pill, even allowing his nephews to massacre the capital. Shouldn’t you give us an explanation today?" A voice suddenly said this.

Upon hearing this, Gu Shanhai had a face full of black lines. What kind of idiot thought that hiding in the shadows and shouting such a thing could kill with a borrowed knife?

Oh, it seemed it really could.

Some people had seemingly paid off others to bolster their cause, with one leading and a few warming up the crowd; the situation and public opinion started to take off.

Then, the instigator naturally left quietly, ready to watch the fire from the other side of the shore. The supposed total loss of strength was obviously his fiction; otherwise, with the full-power Master Lu around, did they really think these Jianghu people would dare to speak?

"Alright, clear the way; I have other business to attend to." Gu Shanhai rubbed his temples, not intending to reason with the crowd, and decided to look for the person behind the scenes, just to ask why.

However, this act of Gu Shanhai’s appeared to further confirm the rumors of his lost strength, as if everyone wanted to tear a piece off him.

People accused him of all sorts of preposterous things.

Gu Shanhai was somewhat helpless. Why did such petty tricks succeed? Oh, it was the interests!

Plus, as a righteous person in the Jianghu, he couldn’t be legally held accountable. Were it a person from the Demon Sect here, who would dare such arrogance?

"Alright then, if you won’t move, I’ll send you on your way." All Gu Shanhai could do was to act with a bittersweet smile... and tears.

With a flick of his wrist, a mass healing technique was unleashed. Each and every one turned into a desiccated corpse, and in an instant, a swath of them collapsed, silencing the clamor all at once.

*Burp~*

On the quiet streets, only this sound remained, and the complexions of certain powers watching from afar changed.

Good people are the ones who get bullied, but if someone pretends to be a good person yet acts ruthlessly, the initiator should beware.

"If you run again, I’ll make sure you can’t move in your next life, so come back here, all of you." Gu Shanhai’s voice wasn’t loud, but it fell on the ears of those who needed to hear it.
