This powerful aura made Mo Songshi, who was watching from the sidelines, twitch uncontrollably.
He inwardly exclaimed, truly worthy of the Black Feather Guards, whom even the Gang Leader fears. Now it seems that his proud Tianhai Gang is probably nothing more than a slightly larger ant in the eyes of the Black Feather Guards.
Faced with this overwhelming force, the four assassins from Misty Rain Tower couldn’t even last the time it takes for one incense stick to burn before they were all killed on the spot.
Soon after, a figure swift as lightning rushed over from the distance—it was that Huang-rank Black Feather Guard who had chased after the lead assassin!
In his hand, he was holding a lifeless corpse, precisely the assassin leader who had tried to flee.
The moment he leaped onto the inn’s second floor, the Huang-rank Black Feather Guard casually tossed aside the corpse in his hand and said coldly.
“Let’s go!”
It was only after the Black Feather Guards had left that Mo Songshi, who had not dared to utter a word, finally dared to take a deep breath.
A major figure at the Blood Refining realm had personally taken action!
Looking at the several corpses on the ground and the nearly destroyed guest room, an invisible fury surged in Mo Songshi’s heart.
Of course, Mo Songshi naturally didn’t dare harbor the slightest resentment towards the Black Feather Guards.
What angered Mo Songshi was that these damn fools had to come to his jurisdiction, the Hidden Dragon Inn, of all places.
Fortunately, those Black Feather Guard officers were reasonable and didn’t drag him into it.
Otherwise, the consequences for him would be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Mo Songshi kicked out in anger, sending the nearest corpse flying into the distance.
The Tianhai Gang could not afford to offend the Black Feather Guards.
But when it came to Misty Rain Tower, the Tianhai Gang certainly could afford to make them pay.
“Damn Misty Rain Tower, these treacherous, filthy scum who don’t deserve to see the light of day.”
“You lot, carry these bastards back to the Tianhai Gang. This elder will personally report to the Gang Leader.”
“We, the Tianhai Gang, will absolutely not let this matter rest with those Misty Rain Tower scoundrels!”
Within a single day, the number one gang in White Path Prefecture’s capital city began to move.
Under the orders of the Tianhai Gang Leader, all the secret contact points of Misty Rain Tower that had been lurking in the prefectural capital were completely uprooted by the Tianhai Gang.
Especially in the prefectural capital’s underground black market, seeing the Tianhai Gang’s major move, everyone became frightened.
This was because contacting Misty Rain Tower assassins and posting assassination bounties were basically all conducted within this sunless underground black market.
“How did Misty Rain Tower provoke the Tianhai Gang?”
“It seems the Tianhai Gang is serious this time.”
“The Tianhai Gang Leader has already made an announcement.”
“From now on, no matters related to Misty Rain Tower are permitted within White Path Prefecture’s capital city. Violators will be hunted down by the Tianhai Gang.”
“Tsk tsk…”
Qingyun County town.
Late at night!
Outside the county town’s city gates, it was dead silent and dark, with only the noisy sounds of small animals.
But at this moment, several pitch-black shadows were cast upon Qingyun County’s city gate.
As the black shadows gradually shortened, several strangers quietly arrived at the city gate.
An old woman draped in a white robe, supported by several young women, walked to the outside of the city gate.
“Hey, who goes there!”
On the city gate, there were several guards on night watch. Drowsy, they suddenly jolted awake.
Because they saw several people below the city gate who looked extremely eerie.
The faces of the city gate guards showed some fear as they directly drew the swords at their waists, gripping them tightly in their hands.
They wanted to use the swords in their hands to bolster their courage!
After all, in the middle of the night, with several people suddenly appearing below the city gate, anyone who saw this would feel fear.
The words of these city gate guards caused the people standing below the gate to react.
The hunched old woman and the young women supporting her slowly raised their heads.
When the city gate guards saw their faces, they instantly felt their scalps go numb and their hairs stand on end.
The swords gripped in their hands also fell to the ground at that moment.
“Ghosts!”
The leading old woman had a terrifying, ugly face, yet she was smiling at them.
And those young women had blank expressions and ghastly white eyes.
They held not a trace of human emotion, like puppets on strings being manipulated.
However, just as those city gate guards were about to strike the alarm drum to alert the guard unit below,
A sharp gust of wind was heard, and the old woman’s figure vanished from the city gate like a ghost.
Immediately after, a blurry shadow leaped onto the city gate, almost floating in a bizarre manner, and landed silently behind the city gate guards.
The old woman’s withered, stick-like hands quickly shot out; her hands, clenched into claws, were as hard as steel, directly crushing the skulls of those city gate guards.
Drip, drip!
Puddles of red and white liquid splattered on the ground, spreading along the city wall and flowing into the distance.
“Heh heh heh!”
“The filthy blood of county town mortals is still so intoxicating!”
“Much better than the people from that little village.”
This old woman was precisely the elder of the World-Cleansing White Lotus Sect who had been holed up in the Xiantian Mountain Range.
With the danger of the Celestial Monitoring Department gone, she could finally come out from the dark, sunless depths of the mountains without any concerns.
“That Corpse Fiend anomaly in Lanshan County must have given those damn Black Feather Guards in White Path Prefecture quite the headache.”
“Heh heh heh!”
When the old woman entered White Path Prefecture, she had once passed by Lanshan County and happened to encounter the Bloodthirsty Corpse Fiend’s revival.
Therefore, she decided to add fuel to the fire for this Bloodthirsty Corpse Fiend, making the anomaly’s Yin energy even more intense.
The Blood Lotus of Lanshan County’s Magistrate, Su Quanchuan, was the blood offering she left for the Corpse Fiend.
That Blood Lotus was nurtured and watered with the flesh and blood of many human blood offerings.
By the time Su Quanchuan broke through to the Blood Refining realm, he would become food for that Bloodthirsty Corpse Fiend.
Once that Bloodthirsty Corpse Fiend successfully devoured Su Quanchuan’s flesh and blood,
Even a martial artist at the early Internal Energy stage would find it difficult to dispel its Yin energy.
In that case, that old ghost Li Chengfeng would definitely be drawn to Lanshan County.
This way, she could carry out her objective freely within Qingyun County town.
The old woman forcefully shook her hand, flinging off the blood, then retrieved a bowl-sized ancient bronze vessel of azure color from her sleeve.
The azure ancient bronze vessel looked very ordinary, without any special features.
However, this azure ancient bronze vessel filled the old woman’s eyes with excitement and fervor.
As if she were looking at the most precious thing in the world.
“A Chen-grade Sacrificial Vessel!”
This was the thing she had left behind in Liugou Village back then, containing the sealed E-grade anomaly within it!
