Chapter 234 - 234: 156: Intercepting Outside the City

The local soldiers on the walls had no fighting spirit. Upon seeing the imperial soldiers coming up, they all dropped their weapons and immediately surrendered on their knees.

Seeing this scene, the disciples of the Seven Star Sect were at a loss for what to do.

Then, they saw the imperial soldiers with swords coming slowly toward them, and after hesitating for a moment, they too dropped their weapons and chose to surrender.

Now the situation was completely lost to them.

Frankly, after being besieged for more than two months, the spirit of the rebels and disciples of the Seven Star Sect had already been worn down.

Especially in recent times, as large numbers of people escaped from the city, even more, caused their determination to waver.

At this point, no one wanted to keep fighting.

Of course, there are always diehard people everywhere.

For example, those who have no family and have grown up in the Seven Star Sect since childhood, they couldn’t bear to see their fellow disciples surrendering one after another.

“You have been nurtured by our sect for years and taught martial arts skills!

How dare you surrender?”

“Get up, all of you! Pick up your weapons and follow me to kill these imperial soldiers!”

At this moment, dozens of the disciples of the Seven Star Sect on the city walls had red eyes as they saw this scene.

They picked up their weapons and started slashing at the people kneeling on the ground, trying to force them to resist.

This tactic did have some effectiveness.

At first, they were caught off guard. As the people around reacted to the situation, they saw these stubborn guys still trying to fight.

Both the lower-class rebels and the Seven Star Sect members, who were inclined to surrender, couldn’t stand for it any longer.

I surrendered in order to save my life, and if you want to stop me, then you are my enemy.

Thus, led by the forcibly recruited rebels, they took up their weapons and attacked the stubborn followers of the Seven Star Sect.

After hesitating for a moment, some of the Seven Star Sect disciples followed suit and joined the besieging forces.

In a short time, internal strife broke out among the rebels on the city wall before the soldiers even started fighting.

Imperial soldiers who had already reached the city wall were stunned, and then they leaned on each other, formed battle lines, and watched the fight with interest.

Meanwhile, they sent some people to collect the surrendering rebels, clean up a safe area, and prepare for more of their comrades to come up.

The internal struggle among the rebels was over quickly.

The die-hard followers were, after all, in the minority. With only three or four dozen of them against the thousands of rebels, they were quickly wiped out.

Those who had resisted watching the situation, with their mind still determined, did not dare to reveal their thoughts.

They could only sigh and surrender with the others.

With a bang and a creaking sound, the gates that had been closed for several months were quickly opened.

The imperial soldiers waiting outside surged into the city following the opening of the city gates.

The city that had been trapped by the rebels for months was finally about to return to the command of the imperial court.

As countless imperial soldiers poured into the city, the core high-ranking members of the Seven Star Sect were gathered in a house near the North City gate.

“Sect Leader, the imperial soldiers have entered the city.”

A sturdy man in blue clothes looked at the bustling and cheering sound from the south side of the city, his expression filled with sorrow and anger. “The imperial soldiers could have broken the city a month ago.”

Qiao Xiuyuan sighed: “I don’t know why they have waited for so long. It’s a good thing in a way; it’s time for us to wake up from this dream.”

The sect leader looked at his fellow sect members, his expression melancholic: “I have brought the Seven Star Sect to this point in my delusion of becoming a kingdom ruler, and I am truly unworthy of my ancestors. But the Seven Star Sect’s foundation of 700 years must not be ended by me.

Since the city has fallen, let’s leave it. The world is vast. If we can’t make a living in the Dongting region, let’s go to other places.

Recently, the North Country, Zhou Country, is at war with Yue Country. Let’s go there.

With our strength, we can establish our sect again and build a new foundation.”

Qiao Xiuyuan was an excellent martial artist, and the seven fellow sect members with him were also talented. With their strength, they could stand on their own wherever they went.

“Sect leader… ”

The faces of the surrounding elders of the Seven Star Sect were filled with sorrow.

Though the sect leader’s words sounded encouraging, they knew that reestablishing a foundation in a strange land wasn’t going to be easy, the struggles were inevitable.

Moreover, even if they managed to rebuild their foundation in another place, it would never be as strong as it was before.

As natives of Dongting region in Yue Country, their hearts ached at the thought of living out their days alone in a foreign land.

At this moment, the sound of fighting outside was getting closer and closer, gradually reaching the North City area.

Upon hearing the sound, Qiao Xiuyuan’s face changed, and he hurriedly said to his sorrowful fellow sect members, “Alright, the imperial soldiers are coming. This is not the time to be sad.

I have arranged for fast horses at the north gate. The imperial soldiers in that area are few, only about a thousand. Follow me and let’s break through the siege.”

With Qiao Xiuyuan’s top-tier abilities and the seven second -tier elders, they were confident they could carve out a way of life..
