A heavy rain fell silently on the plains of the Northern Region. After a night, the rain stopped.
Under the light of the early morning sun, a beautiful rainbow formed in the sky.
Three days had passed since the Northern Region Army had set off.
At the moment, the Northern Region Army was only two days away from the Eastern Region Mountain Range.
Long Chenfeng led the Northern Region Army, which numbered in the millions, and continued to advance.
However, every soldier had a worried look on their faces, and there were even serious dark circles under their eyes.
Everyone's eyes were filled with fear.
At the place where they had set up camp, Long Woo-seok, Lin Yun and Xiao Yin all had dark expressions on their faces as they looked at the corpses in front of them.
"12,000 …" Xiao Yin couldn't believe what she was seeing, because the number of corpses in front of them was double that of the previous day.
In one night, twelve thousand soldiers died.
The way they had died today was exactly the same as the way they had died two days ago. There was no difference at all.
Although Long Chenfeng had calmed the morale of the soldiers today, it was clear that the effect was not as good as before.
Now, the soldiers were unprecedentedly depressed. Even the leader of the Wu Huang Realm Army felt a tinge of fear.
"Last night, the three of us guarded the mountain together and didn't sleep the entire night. We didn't notice anyone entering at all," Long Woo-seok said through gritted teeth.
After Lin Yun's arrangements the day before, the three of them had guarded the vicinity of the army camp the entire night.
The three top experts of the Northern Region had guarded the camp overnight. Even if a fly flew in, it wouldn't be able to escape their eyes, let alone a single person.
However, the murderer had been able to kill people right under their noses no matter what.
After all, the three of them were top experts of the Wu Huang Realm. It was extremely frightening to think that someone could kill people right under their noses.
Lin Yun squatted down beside a corpse and said calmly, "12,000 people died. King Wu killed 6,000 people and dozens of Wu Zongs."
"According to Brother Lin Yun's deduction, we are getting closer and closer to this person." Long Woo-seok gasped.
They had gathered the entire army of the North Region and only managed to gather 1,200 Martial Arts Grandmasters.
In the short span of three days, close to 20,000 people had died in the army of millions.
Although these twenty thousand people seemed like a drop in the ocean in the great army, there were still over twenty days before they reached the headquarters of the Assassination Guild.
"Can you find out the cause of death?" Xiao Yin asked.
If they could find out why these people died, at least they could think of a way to deal with it.
But now that three days had passed, they still did not know how these people died.
"If there are no problems with the appearance and internal organs, the only cause of death is here." Lin Yun pointed to the head of the corpse and at the same time, injected a trace of divine sense into the corpse.
After a long time, Lin Yun stood up. Long Woo-seok and Xiao Yin looked at Lin Yun, hoping to get an answer.
Lin Yun frowned and seemed a little distressed. He said, "It's strange."
"What's strange?" The two asked in unison.
"Their internal organs were not damaged, but I feel like they suffered a 'mental attack'." Lin Yun explained.
"Mental attack?" Long Woo-seok and Xiao Yin were shocked and looked at Lin Yun in disbelief.
Long Woo-seok was an expert in illusions and it was similar to mental attacks.
And indeed, the way these people died seemed to be caused by illusions.
However, Long Woo-seok still had his doubts and asked, "But even an expert in Wu Huang's realm can't use such a wide range of divine attacks on tens of thousands of people at the same time."
"Moreover, such a large-scale divine attack would definitely affect the surrounding space, but last night, the three of us were together and didn't notice anything."
Lin Yun nodded in agreement.
After all, he was also an expert in divine attacks. Such a large-scale divine attack, coupled with the deliberate selection of people, would definitely cause a big commotion.
But even he did not sense it.
Lin Yun shook his head, looked ahead and said calmly, "Let's wait for a few more days."
At this moment, Long Chenfeng suddenly flew back from afar with a person.
When the two landed, they saw Long Chenfeng with a soldier.
"The three of you, this person said he has something to report." Long Chenfeng grabbed the soldier behind him and brought him in front of him.
Just now, when he led the army forward, this soldier suddenly found him and said he had something to report to the commander. Only then did he bring this person back to Lin Yun's side.
"What's the matter?" Long Woo-seok looked at the soldier with a black face.
Unexpectedly, when the soldier heard Long Woo-seok's question, his eyes turned red. After wiping away his tears, he said, "Commander … Last night …"
The soldier then told Long Woo-seok and the others everything that happened last night.
It turned out that this soldier was King Wu who was responsible for guarding the tent at night.
"Last night, my brother said he was too tired, so he fell asleep in the middle of the night."
"My brother's snoring was very loud, almost everyone in the tent could hear it."
"But last night, my brother suddenly screamed and kept shouting 'don't kill me, don't kill me'."
"At first, I thought he was having a nightmare, so I wanted to wake him up."
"But after I pushed him for a while, he didn't react at all."
"By the time this morning, he …"
The soldier pointed at a corpse on the ground and sighed.
After that, Long Woo-seok asked a few more questions, and then let Long Chenfeng bring the soldier away first.
"Brother Lin Yun, what do you think?" Long Woo-seok was very puzzled. What kind of method was this?
After a long time, Lin Yun raised his head and looked at Long Woo-seok. "Killing people in their sleep."
"Killing people in their sleep?" Xiao Yin was a little confused.
Lin Yun nodded and explained, "In theory, dreams exist in a dualistic space. What happens in it will not affect the real world."
"But some Martial Souls have the ability to enter a person's dream through brainwaves and become a 'dualistic body'."
"Moreover, such a dualistic body is extremely good at mental attacks. If it is killed in the dream, it will instantly destroy all the brain cells of the person in the real world, causing brain death, just like they are now."
In his previous life, Lin Yun had heard of some of these abilities, but he did not expect that there would be someone with such a Martial Soul in the assassination guild.
"In that case, should the three of us go to the dream to find him tonight?" Long Woo-seok asked.
