The elites of Zhongzhou Provincial Court swept over Pingsha Valley in less than 1 hour; especially with the cooperation of knight-level powerhouses of Zhongzhou Provincial Court, the entire Pingsha Valley had been completely under the control of Zhongzhou Provincial Court when the sun completely rose.
From the beginning to the end, although Pingsha Valley was filled with battle roars and battle qi totems, the battle qi totem that Meng Haishan the dean of Zhongzhou Provincial Court had been waiting for on the airboat didn't appear at all. It indicated that they had not met any knight-level powerhouse in the valley.
In the early morning sun, the airboat of Zhongzhou Provincial Court landed above the most eye-catching castle in Pingsha Valley.
A few hours ago, this castle was tranquil; however, at this moment, one side of the city wall had been broken. Puddles of blood could be seen everywhere on the ground and the top of the city wall. Besides, the air in the castle was faintly suffused with a stinky smell.
When Meng Haishan got off the airboat, some knights of Zhongzhou Provincial Court who followed him were waiting for him respectfully downstairs. All the powerhouses of Zhongzhou Provincial Court looked gloomy.
It was too quiet in the castle, so quiet that it didn't seem like a bloody battle had just taken place here. In the entire castle, except for the silent warriors of Bi 'an Battalion, the cries of women, children and captives after their families were destroyed could hardly be heard.
Of course, Meng Haishan's face turned gloomy. Of course, he knew what it meant. It meant that there were almost no captives left in this place. After knowing their identities, these captives still chose to struggle to the death.
'This is Zhongzhou Province, one of the 9 immortal provinces in Taixia Country. How could there be such a force in Zhongzhou Province which has been peaceful for hundreds of years? '
"How's the situation?" Meng Haishan asked in a muffled voice.
"We've already conquered the entire Pingsha Valley, but..." A knight opened his mouth.
"But what?"
"But we've lost a lot of fighters of Bi'an Camp!"
"How many people have we lost?"
"457 people in total!" The knight replied bitterly.
This figure was almost 1/10 of that of Bi'an Camp in Zhongzhou Province. It was like a confrontation between two armies. Such a thing had not happened in Zhongzhou Provincial Court for hundreds of years. This was Zhongzhou Province of Taixia Country; instead of those subcontinents and barren lands far away from Taixia Country. The casualty figure alone could shock the entire country.
Meng Haishan's face turned livid. "Not injured?"
"No, this place is completely an assassin's nest. The assassins' weapons and hidden weapons are all highly toxic. The crossbow arrows are also highly toxic. Once blood is drawn, it can take a person's life in a short time. There's no time to save them!"
"Bring me there!"
Some knights then led Meng Haishan to an open space on the other side of the castle, where some rows of corpses of fighters of Bi'an Camp had been placed tidily. All the fighters of Bi'an Camp who were standing solemnly in the surroundings looked sad.
These fighters didn't have deep wounds; however, their faces had been completely black under their masks. Many of them were bleeding from their seven apertures, which looked pretty terrifying.
After checking some corpses, Meng Haishan picked himself up and asked them coldly, "Where are the people in this castle?"
"They're all dead. All the people here are resisting stubbornly. We have to kill them all!"
The corpses in the castle had been dragged out by the fighters of Bi'an Camp and placed tidily on one side. However, compared to the casualty of Bi'an Camp, there were not so many corpses on this side of the castle.
"Only these?" Meng Haishan frowned as he looked at the corpses in the castle.
"There are also some corpses that can no longer be collected. Those people all had deadly poison in their mouths. After they fought back before they died, they bit the poison sacs in their mouths, and their entire bodies turned into a puddle of stinking blood!"
Such blood could be seen everywhere in this castle.
"Have you caught any alive ones?"
They only knew that Pingsha Valley belongs to Wen clan and they were hired by Wen clan. Wen clan is a local tyrant in Longxi Prefecture. Previously, they were unknown and only had a bit influence in the local area. About 20 years ago, the entire family of Wen clan had an accident by airship. Only the head of Wen clan survived. 10 years ago, Wen clan head Wen Haoyun promoted to a knight. Wen clan then established Pingsha Sect in Pingsha Valley. Wen Haoyun, the head of Wen clan, became the owner of Pingsha Sect. After recruiting disciples, Wen clan gradually expanded. Besides Pingsha Sect, Wen clan also has two business groups, one is engaged in trading agricultural products; the other is engaged in logistics. I don't know about those farmers and survivors; I only know that Wen clan and Pingsha Sect have frequent exchanges of personnel and materials! "
"Agricultural products and logistics?" A shrewd light flashed across Meng Haishan's eyes. The two business groups of Wen Clan were almost the best cover; especially that business group engaged in logistics, which could easily cover the exchanges of personnel and materials between Wen Clan and Pingsha Valley. Additionally, there might be some secrets about the accident by airship of Wen Clan and Pingsha Sect. "Notice all the judicial agencies in Zhongzhou Province right away. Search and arrest the affiliated business groups, agencies and personnel of Wen Clan and Pingsha Sect. Kill anyone who dares to resist …"
"Yes, sir …"
"Have you caught Wen Haoyun?"
"Those villagers couldn't touch Wen Haoyun in normal times. Therefore, they don't know Wen Haoyun's trace. According to those villagers, when Wen Haoyun was not in Pingsha Valley, a general manager surnamed Qi was in charge of the affairs of Pingsha Valley and Wen Clan. This general manager surnamed Qi usually lived in this castle. However, when we occupied this castle, this general manager Qi also disappeared. We're searching for the two people …"
"Wen Clan and Pingsha Sect might be involved with those rebels of Heavens Reaching Church. Report the situation here to Cheji General's Mansion in Zhongzhou Province right away. Have Cheji General's Mansion assist us in searching and patrolling!"
Over these years, the Heavens Reaching Church in Taixia Country didn't make any trouble anymore, which was a bit weird. However, everybody knew that if Heavens Reaching Church really wanted to make trouble, it would definitely be a major event; especially in such a prosperous and densely populated place like Zhongzhou Province. If Heavens Reaching Church really made some arrangement here, the outcome would be disastrous. Therefore, after confirming that the background of Pingsha Valley might be involved with Heavens Reaching Church, Meng Haishan the dean of the Provincial Court of Zhongzhou Province wanted to notice Cheji General of Zhongzhou Province as soon as possible.
Not knowing why, although Pingsha Valley seemed to have been pacified, besides a couple of major figures who had not been found, everything else was under the control of Zhongzhou Provincial Court. Even though the couple of people had escaped away, a black iron knight could not cause any trouble in Taixia Country at all. However, Meng Haishan the dean of the Provincial Court of Zhongzhou Province still felt restless and flurried inside.
This restless and flurried came from his mysterious perception as an earth knight and his dozens of years' experience and judgment in the judicial system.
In this raid on Pingsha Valley, although Bi 'an Camp suffered a rare casualty and suffered a great loss, it was generally smooth without too many twists and turns. They didn't even meet a knight-level opponent. Therefore, Meng Haishan felt restless inside.
'How could Wen Clan and Pingsha Sect dare fight the judicial system of Taixia Country to the death with such a trivial arrangement here? If Bi' an Camp didn't join the battle today, one knight-level powerhouse of the Provincial Court of Zhongzhou Province could also sweep over Pingsha Valley without any casualty. What made Wen Clan and Pingsha Sect so courageous and determined to fight the judicial system of Taixia Country? '
'Even if Wen Clan and Pingsha Sect are the b * stards of Heavens Reaching Church, it seems that Heavens Reaching Church only has such a trivial arrangement in Zhongzhou Province. It's not the means of those rebels of Heavens Reaching Church.'
When Meng Haishan was in meditation with a frown, a fighter of Bi 'an Camp hurriedly ran towards him.
"Commander-in-chief, we found a secret tunnel leading to the underground in the basement of the castle …"
"A secret tunnel leading to the underground?" Meng Haishan narrowed his eyes as he said, "Let's take a look over there …"
The secret passage was in the basement of the castle. Among the experts of the Bi 'an Camp, there were naturally experts who were proficient in searching. Several experts entered the basement of the castle, knocked around, and immediately found the secret passage hidden under the castle …
The chief justice of Zhongzhou Provincial Court and some knight-level powerhouses soon came to the entrance of the secret tunnel. At the sight of the entrance, they were all amazed.
Generally, the entrance of such a secret tunnel was very narrow, which could only accommodate about 2 people at a time. However, the secret tunnel in front of them was like a gloomy bloody mouth. The entire secret tunnel was very spacious, which could almost allow two cars to pass side by side.
The basement connected to the secret passage was a large training ground. There were all kinds of training tools in this training ground. On a table in the training ground, there were several corpses for dissection. The corpses consisted of men, women, old and young. All of them had hideous and painful expressions on their faces, and they were starting to stink.
Only after throwing a glance at it, the powerhouses of Zhongzhou Provincial Court had known that this place was used to train assassins.
Everything here exuded a terrifying and eerie aura.
The pitch-dark and gloomy secret tunnel was not used to escape from Pingsha Valley; instead, it led to the depth of the underground. Nobody knew what it was used for.
"Zhao Long, you stay here. The others follow me inside …"
At the sight of this scene, the chief justice of Zhongzhou Provincial Court left a knight on the ground to coordinate with the others while he directly rushed into the secret tunnel …
