The three Guard Commanders came up with a plan and actually fled in fear of punishment.
They had served the Duanmu Family for many years and were very clear about the Duanmu Family's style and methods.
The reason why this ancient family could survive until now was because of their merciless and cruel reward and punishment system.
No matter what the reason was, as the guards guarding the Longevity Garden, it was a huge mistake for them to not be able to protect the herb garden!
Such a huge mistake had to be executed without any room for discussion!
The three of them thought that since they were going to die anyway, they might as well escape through the night. Perhaps they might still have a chance of survival.
With their strength, they could escape to the remote and desolate Southern Continent and live in anonymity. They could also live a comfortable and carefree life.
Not long after the three guards fled, a few guard captains and alchemists hurriedly sent out messenger birds to report the news to the Duanmu Family.
At the same time, Ji Tianxing had already left the Longevity Garden and was rushing to the next herb garden, the Spiritual Herb Garden.
While he was rushing through the night sky, he had already taken out two elixirs from his spatial ring to heal his injuries and restore his True Essence.
The continuous running and fighting previously had caused him to suffer heavy injuries and had used up half of his True Essence.
As he was rushing, he was calculating silently in his heart, "Another six hours have passed. The Duanmu Family should know about the destruction of the Hundred Flower Garden by now.
Perhaps the Duanmu Family people are rushing to the Hundred Flower Garden to check on the situation.
Four hours later, the news of the destruction of the Longevity Garden will also reach the Duanmu Family.
I don't have much time left. I have to destroy the Spiritual Herb Garden and the Green Wood Garden as soon as possible! "
Qian Yue saw that he was rushing with injuries and did not stop to rest. She was full of worry and consoled him, "Old Ji, you have already destroyed the Hundred Flower Garden and the Longevity Garden and killed the Heavenly Wind Fire Bird. You have already caused the Duanmu Family to suffer heavy losses.
If you continue to move in your current condition, I'm afraid your life will be in danger!
At the very least, you have to stop and recuperate for four hours. You can continue to move after you recover! "
However, Ji Tianxing shook his head and said firmly, "No way! If I want to destroy the Duanmu Family's herb garden and cause them heavy losses, I have to destroy it thoroughly!
The Duanmu Family moves very quickly. If I don't speed up, I won't have a chance when the Duanmu Family's experts arrive!
Qian Yue, don't worry. Even if I only have 60% of my power left, with the Seal of Mountains and Rivers and the Ice Dragon Hammer, I can still destroy the remaining two medicine gardens. "
Qian Yue saw that he had made up his mind and his tone was resolute, so she no longer tried to dissuade him.
It also understood that the Longevity Garden was the most heavily guarded. The remaining Spirit Herb Garden and Green Wood Garden had similar defensive capabilities as the Hundred Flower Garden.
With Ji Tianxing's strength and means, coupled with the help of the two Soul-grade magical artifacts, he would definitely not be in any life-threatening danger.
Thinking of this, Qian Yue finally felt relieved.
…
At this moment, dawn was about to arrive.
The ancient and majestic Azurewood City was still in deep slumber beneath the veil of night, and it was quiet and peaceful.
The Duanmu Mansion, which was a hundred miles north of the city, was also lit up with a few lanterns, but it was completely silent.
In the depths of the main hall of the main palace, the study of the Patriarch was brightly lit.
In the simple and elegant study, the Patriarch, Duanmu Huang, was sitting in front of the table, burying his head in reading the letters and reports, dealing with the various affairs of the Duanmu Family.
The Duanmu Family, as an ancient family, controlled half of the medicine business in the Central Region. It was really a large family business.
As the Patriarch, Duanmu Huang would always have an endless amount of affairs to deal with.
Moreover, he had recently lost two outstanding sons. First Madam and Second Madam were also at loggerheads, and had already reached the stage of life and death.
The two Madams had roped in some Elders and leaders, and were currently fighting with each other, causing the Duanmu Family to be in a foul atmosphere, in a complete mess.
The most headache-inducing thing for a man was a fire in his own backyard. Even an expert like Duanmu Huang was no exception.
On one hand, he had to deal with the housework, and on the other hand, he had to manage the family business and affairs. He was already mentally and physically exhausted, so tired that he didn't even have time to take a breather.
Very quickly, Duanmu Huang finished reading a few memorials and letters. He then put down the brush in his hand and closed his eyes to rest for a while.
As he rubbed his brows, he instructed the guard standing by the door, "Go to the medicinal kitchen and bring a bowl of Jade Lotus Spiritual Porridge for this Seat ….."
That guard had just bowed and was about to reply with a 'Yes'.
Just at this moment, a guard commander dressed in golden armour suddenly rushed to the study room door as fast as a gust of wind. He had a flustered expression as he reported, "Patriarch, something bad has happened!"
Duanmu Huang instantly frowned as he opened his eyes to look at the guard commander at the door. He asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter? Why are you so flustered?"
That guard commander immediately reported, "Reporting to Patriarch, two guard captains who were guarding the Hundred Flower Garden rushed to the residence overnight with injuries to report that the Hundred Flower Garden has been destroyed!"
"What?!" Duanmu Huang's expression changed instantly, and his eyes revealed a deep shock.
He was stunned for a moment and thought that he had heard wrongly. He asked again, "You just said that the Hundred Flower Garden ….. has been destroyed?!"
When the guard commander saw that Duanmu Huang's expression had darkened and his entire body was bursting with anger, he instantly trembled with fear. He lowered his head and said, "Yes! Those two guard captains are waiting outside the door. "
Duanmu Huang forcefully suppressed his anger and ordered in a deep voice, "Let them in!"
That guard commander hurriedly retreated. After a moment, he brought the two guard captains who were dressed in black armour and walked quickly into the study room.
Duanmu Huang took a look and saw that the two guard captains were riddled with injuries and bloodstains all over their bodies. Their wounds had not been treated yet.
Moreover, the two guard captains were panting from exhaustion and had a panicked expression on their faces.
Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huang had a premonition that something had really happened to the Hundred Flower Garden!
Sure enough, after the two guard captains entered the study room, they immediately knelt on the ground and reported in a hoarse voice, "Patriarch! Just a few hours ago, a mysterious powerhouse broke into the Hundred Flower Garden and killed four guards, destroyed four storehouses and palaces, and also killed thousands of guards, alchemists, and odd-job workers!
That mysterious powerhouse also destroyed the entire Hundred Flower Garden and turned it into a wasteland! "
Duanmu Huang's expression changed drastically. He stood up with a "swoosh" and his eyes widened in anger. He shouted in disbelief, "The entire Hundred Flower Garden has been destroyed? Are you sure it was done by one person?! "
The two guard captains were intimidated by his imposing manner and crawled on the ground in horror. They hurriedly replied, "That's right, it was done by one person!"
"We saw it with our own eyes. This matter is absolutely true! That mysterious powerhouse was wearing a white robe and seemed to be quite young! "
Duanmu Huang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He was so angry that the veins on his forehead were popping out. He clenched his fists so tightly that they made cracking sounds. He almost went berserk on the spot.
"The entire Hundred Flower Garden has been destroyed. What a shocking loss this is! It will affect at least 20% of the industry and business!
