A crazy executioner had slaughtered so many people in one night, and there had been no news of it at all. The City Lord of Lone Bamboo City in Yao Emperor's Heaven was livid. In one night, such a shocking case had happened under his rule!
"Reporting to the City Lord, the count is clear. There are a total of one hundred and eighty-seven corpses here." A young man said softly, "Including the three hundred and twenty-four people outside the city, there are one thousand three hundred and eleven corpses. Among these corpses, two hundred and ten belong to the Ghost Hunter, five hundred and fifty belong to the Iron Sword Sect, and the rest belong to the Ice Sect. There are four hundred and twelve corpses."
"All of them are from the sects? Then, this is clearly a vendetta in Jianghu! "The City Lord's words determined the nature of this case.
As long as it wasn't a murderous maniac, it was fine. The other party clearly had a target.
This way, the responsibility of the government would be reduced to the minimum!
The City Lord's words almost drove the three sects crazy. What does the City Lord of Lone Bamboo City mean by this? Bleach yourself? In other words, this is a vendetta in Jianghu! You have nothing to do with it?
You want us three sects to deal with it ourselves?
Of course, Jianghu's grudges are Jianghu's grudges, but we can't handle it right now.
Even if the dead are Jianghu people, they are still people from the sects. There are still many lives, aren't there? You're just going to ignore it?!
Under normal circumstances, Jianghu's matters are Jianghu's matters. Both sides don't welcome the intervention of the government.
However, the current situation was very strange. The other party was too ferocious. It had already exceeded the scope of what the three great sects could handle. Originally, he wanted to use this matter to find more help, but now … it seemed that the City Lord was going to slip away …
The City Lord seemed to have received an 'important' piece of news. Then, he said a few words sanctimoniously, excused himself, and turned around to leave. He left as if he was floating in the air.
"We are all friends. It is natural for us to help each other. Since you are here, I will naturally give you the green light. As long as you don't provoke any criticism from the people, I will do my best to help you. But I just received a secret order from my superiors. I need to deal with it immediately. Goodbye …"
"If there's anything you want to do, feel free to do so." Just like that, after a bunch of nonsense that seemed pretty on the surface but was actually completely useless, he instantly slipped away and disappeared without a trace.
The three sects were so angry that smoke was coming out of their heads.
"What should we do? What should we do now?! "The leaders gathered together with a worried look on their faces.
These people had been fighting for positions in their respective sects in the Black Cloud Sky Continent. They had been fighting each other for hundreds of thousands of years. Between them, there was a blood debt, and they could not live under the same sky.
Everyone's heart felt very strange.
However, for the survival of his own sect, he had no choice but to do so.
The current situation was not complicated at all. It could even be said that it was very clear. There was only one person on the other side. As long as they could deal with this person, everything would be settled!
But this person's strength was ridiculously high. According to the hawk-nosed elder's description, this person's strength was at least at the peak of the Heaven Being level. His moves were superb, and he even had an indestructible sword as support. His killing power was so strong that it was almost impossible to estimate. If it was a one on one fight, most of the people here would just be sending themselves to death!
At least, he was also at the peak of the Heaven Being level! Doesn't that mean that he could be a Saint level expert?
Of course, this was to a certain extent an overestimation by the hawk-nosed elder. Chu Yang's strength did not seem to be that exaggerated.
"The current situation is that each sect has dispatched at least two thousand five hundred elites. Such a huge force, and all of them belong to the Jianghu organizations. If they really gather together, it is simply unrealistic. We can only split up and act separately." The Great Elder of the Ghost Clan sighed.
The Iron Sword Sect elder also sighed. "But the problem now is that if we gather together, the enemy will not come. But if we scatter, the enemy will take advantage of the situation and attack. He will use all kinds of methods to kill all of us. And on our side, there is no one who can resist him directly!"
It was this seemingly unsolvable problem that made everyone frown.
Currently, there were only a dozen or so people present who could withstand half a strike from the mysterious murderer. However, they couldn't possibly take care of every single one of them. Moreover, if the enemy used a sneak attack, even if everyone was present and resisted with all their strength, they might not be able to prevent people from being killed.
"Should we inform the Mo Yuntian officials? Get support from there? "The Ice Sect elder's face darkened.
"Please don't!" The First Elder of the Ghost Territory could not help but turn pale. "Now, our three families have become the key targets of observation, and even have been noticed by the Heaven Emperor. Maybe we will be sentenced to death at any time. If that's the case, then our three families will really be annihilated. If we inform them now, and they come to arrest or capture those people, then we will really have nothing to do with it. In the eyes of the Heaven Emperor, our three families have only brought people out once, and we did not put in any effort. I'm afraid we will feel even worse. Not only will our people die in vain, but we will also get no benefits."
The others nodded. "What the Great Elder said makes sense."
"But with our current manpower, can we catch the enemy?" The Iron Sword Sect elder was obviously a little uneasy after the two assassinations. He knew that he did not have the strength to do so.
"Let's cut off all means of retreat. The current situation is that we can't trap the wolf without sacrificing the child!" The Ghost Sect elder's eyes showed a gloomy look. "We have eight thousand people here, and we will be stationed in twenty places. Basically, we can have a peak level Celestial Being expert not far away! As for the early Celestial Being stage, we must ensure that there are at least three experts in each place. "
"In this way, if any place is attacked, we can hold on for a period of time. During this period of time, we only need to shout and we will be able to arrive in the shortest time possible!"
"In other words, this operation may sacrifice three to four hundred people. However, the price of these three to four hundred people in exchange for the capture of that bloody executioner. I think it is still worth it!"
"Great Elder's brilliant plan!" The others praised loudly, expressing their agreement.
After all, it may not be so unlucky that it will be the team from my sect, right? It is only a one in three chance. As for the other sects sacrificing three to four hundred people, what does it have to do with me? Of course, on the surface, I still have to express regret. It must be pretentious.
"As for the people from Mo Yuntian's military, I believe that they will get the news sooner or later and come here. Even now, they are already on their way here." The Great Elder of the Ghost Clan said with a malicious look in his eyes, "We must finish this before they arrive! We must do everything possible to not give them a chance to speak. "
"Yes."
"Then let's split up and act separately. Divide the experts of our sect into different teams. Especially remember, we must raise our vigilance. "
"Okay."
"Speaking of which, although this mysterious expert killed so many of our people, I don't really blame him in my heart." The Ghost Sect elder looked at the corpses on the field, his eyes filled with grief and indignation. But the words he said shocked everyone.
"Why is that?"
"It is very simple. Since this mysterious expert has the ability to kill so many people silently, then he must have the ability to destroy all these people without leaving any trace."
"And this person's goal is clear. He is obviously from Chu Yang's side. He can be said to be our mortal enemy! Such a mortal enemy, no matter what he does, it is reasonable. "
"But he still chose to keep the corpses. This in itself is a kind of understanding! Previously, when he killed people outside the city gate in broad daylight, it provided a kind of backing. Because, with just these corpses, the families of these dead people will not be troubled in Mo Yuntian. This is the evidence of sacrifice! "
"If both body and soul are destroyed, there will be no evidence at all. That would really be harming the whole family. Although this mysterious assassin was ruthless in his actions and killed countless people, in the end, he did not really kill to the last one and left some leeway! "
The Ghost Sect elder's malicious face also faintly had a trace of admiration. "If I were him, facing such a situation, I might not be able to do it so thoroughly too."
Although everyone felt that these words were not so pleasing to the ears, they could only nod their heads in agreement.
Because what the Ghost Sect elder said was not wrong at all.
Too many deaths actually did not have anything to do with the three great sects. Getting into such a state, it was entirely the three great sects who had only themselves to blame. But Lord Heavenly Emperor wanted to take his anger out on the three great sects. This was also something that could not be helped.
As for failing to complete the mission, beheading the whole family was even more common. But the person already died while carrying out the mission. There was even a corpse as evidence. For your mission, you even paid with your life. Already like this, you still want to take your anger out on his family? That would not be justifiable!
Still insisting on doing things your way, that would be the standard behavior of a bastard! No matter how Heavenly Emperor Mo Yun covered the sky with one hand, he also did not dare to take the risk in this vast world.
Although this mysterious assassin killed many people, to be able to achieve keeping all the corpses, it was equivalent to protecting the families of these victims.
Could it be that they should still be grateful to this executioner?
Everyone felt that it was strange to the extreme.
The people belonging to the three great sects all entered Lone Bamboo City.
After Chu Yang recovered from the internal injuries, he found an opportunity to meet up with everyone.
"Three great sects, close to a thousand people. Presumably, they should have turned out in full force and came to this Lone Bamboo City! Looking at their posture, if you all don't die, I'm afraid … they won't withdraw. "
