No one knew where Xing Xing was hiding. The curtain of the night was like a devil, revealing its ferocious face. The entire county was quiet, as if it had fallen into a deathly stillness.
Suddenly, the sound of a horse's hooves resounded from afar. It was a fast horse. It seemed to have just sounded faintly, but in an instant, it had become clear and audible.
Although it was dark, the rider on the horse could clearly see the dilapidated gates of the county. To an ordinary person, the huge iron gates seemed to have been ruthlessly smashed by something heavy.
The two gates had split open from the middle and were completely destroyed, leaving behind a dark path that led straight into the county.
He Yiming was already burning with anxiety, but the moment he saw the gates, his heart suddenly felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar. He gritted his teeth and exerted some force under his feet. The Red Silk Horse seemed to be connected to his mind and became even faster.
They entered the county without any hindrance. The sound of the horse's hooves trampling on the stone path in the county was like the sound of a drum, completely breaking the silence of the night.
In the county, there were traces everywhere. Large patches of solidified black blood could be seen everywhere. In his line of sight, he could even see more than ten corpses crawling on the ground.
From the clothes on their bodies, it was obvious that they were ordinary citizens living in the county. They probably could not escape in time when the city was breached, so they were killed by the horse bandits who broke into the city.
He Yiming, who was riding on the horse, could even hear the commotion coming from several places nearby.
Although he did not know whether the commotion was caused by the remaining horse bandits or the lucky survivors, none of this made him interested in staying.
The speed of the Red Silk Horse was extremely fast, even faster than the reaction of the people. When some people hurriedly put on their clothes and ran out with their weapons, He Yiming's horse had already disappeared without a trace.
On the way, when he passed by a big house, He Yiming's gaze paused for a moment.
This place was not unfamiliar to him. He had entered this place many times before.
When he came to celebrate Old Master Cheng's birthday, he discovered the Xu Family's spy and obtained the Raging Flame Technique. On the groom's arena, he fought Lin Taoli and secretly learned the two strange seal techniques.
However, the resplendent and illustrious Cheng Mansion had already been burned to the ground by a huge fire. They could only search for the glory of the past through the remnants of their memories.
His nose twitched slightly. There seemed to be a faint burnt smell in the air. It was obvious that this residence had not been burned for too long.
He Yiming went through this road without stopping and ran towards the He Family's residence in the county.
In the county town, regardless of whether it was the powerful Cheng Family or the innocent citizens, the ones he was most worried about were his parents.
For the He Family, his parents had been managing a few shops in Taicang County for decades. Although the main function of these shops was to deceive others, the main source of income was actually the smuggled goods. However, all of this was secretly controlled by his father.
When Taicang County fell, he was most worried about whether his parents would be able to predict it and escape the county.
What he was most afraid of now was to return to the He Family's courtyard and see his parents' corpses.
If that was the case, then even if he killed all the mounted gangsters, it would not be able to make up for the hatred in his heart.
When he saw the He Family's big house, it was pitch-black inside. There was not even the slightest bit of light.
He Yiming's figure moved. Without waiting for the Red Silk Horse to steady itself, he rushed forward. In an instant, he had passed through the wall in front of the house and steadily landed in the courtyard.
Before he came here, he was still worried that this place would become like the Cheng Residence and be swept clean by fire. However, although the house was still there, his heart did not relax at all.
The moment he entered, he was even more afraid of seeing his parents' corpses in the house with his own eyes.
Along the way, although the county was not filled with corpses, he had seen at least dozens of corpses. These were all seen on the streets that he passed by.
If he counted those that he did not see and those that died in the houses, then he did not know how many people in the county had died in this disaster.
At this point, He Yiming had a clear understanding of the ferocity of the mounted gangsters.
Shifting his gaze, his figure moved like lightning and circled around the various rooms. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief. In the few courtyards and rooms of the He Family, there was not a single corpse. Furthermore, the decorations inside were not messed up. He could imagine that when the mounted gangsters approached, his parents should have received the news, so they retreated so calmly.
He was about to leave when his heart moved slightly. He tilted his head and listened quietly for a moment.
With a slight change of expression, He Yiming strode out. In just one step, he had already arrived in front of a rockery in the courtyard.
He reached out a hand and placed it flat on the rockery. The essential Qi in his body circulated, and an enormous force surged out like an avalanche.
The rockery swayed and was suddenly uprooted from the ground. It was actually forcefully sent flying by his palm.
Dust flew everywhere, and a large hole was revealed under the rockery. Below the hole was a basement that was more than ten square meters in size.
At this moment, in this basement, a person was looking up dumbfoundedly. His eyes were filled with horror as he looked at He Yiming as if he was looking at a terrifying super demon. Even his body was trembling.
He Yiming's eyes lit up, and he shouted sternly, "He Chen, why are you here?"
This He Chen was a servant in the He Family Manor, and a servant that was appreciated by his father, He Quan Ming. He was an orphan and was adopted by the manor. Because of his nimbleness and eloquence, he stood out among the servants in the manor and was taken to the city by his father. He helped his father manage the shops in the city, and was considered one of the few stewards in the He Family.
Now that the rest of the He Family was nowhere to be found, and He Chen was hiding here alone, He Yiming was naturally shocked and furious.
If he hadn't stepped into the Connate Stage and had an unbelievably powerful hearing, he might not have been able to discover the secret under the rockery.
He Chen was startled at first, but after hearing He Yiming's voice, his eyes immediately lit up, and even his body stopped trembling.
"Sixth Young Master, you are the Sixth Young Master?"
"That's right."
"You are indeed the Sixth Young Master." He Chen immediately jumped out of the hole. Although he was covered in dust from the flying dust, the joy on his face did not diminish at all.
He Yiming saw his expression and his expression softened. He asked, "Why are you here? Where are my parents?"
"Sixth Young Master, Master and Madam told me to stay here." He Chen smiled bitterly. "This secret room was secretly built by Master after he took over the manor. Some of the valuables and valuables in the city are stored here. Master and Madam have already left. Before they left, they told me to stay here. But … "
He Chen looked at the broken rockery in the distance and said bitterly, "I'm afraid this secret can't be kept anymore."
He Yiming's mouth fell open in shock. He never would have thought that this would be the reason.
But at this time, no matter how much treasure there was, it could not be more important than his parents.
"He Chen, what exactly happened in the county?"
"Sixth Young Master, we were doing business that day when someone from the Cheng family suddenly came to inform us that the horse bandits from Tai 'a County were about to kill us. They told us to quickly pack up and leave the county." He Chen thought for a moment and said, "When Master heard this, he immediately ordered the store to be closed and all valuables kept in the secret room. He ordered me to take the food and hide in the secret room. He ordered me not to come out no matter what, unless the food ran out or someone from the He family came to look for me."
He Yiming was worried. It seemed that this He Chen did not know much. He asked casually, "He Chen, then do you know where my parents went?"
He Chen bowed slightly. "Sixth Young Master, before I entered this secret room, I seemed to have heard Master mention that they were going to the Cheng family."
He Yiming recalled the tragic state of the Cheng Clan, and his head buzzed. He felt as if all the blood in his body was gushing toward his head, as if his head was about to explode.
He Chen reached out to support him in surprise. "Sixth Young Master, why are you … Ouch!"
As soon as his hand touched He Yiming's body, he was immediately sent flying. Fortunately, even in this situation, He Yiming was still able to distinguish between friend and foe. He didn't really use his True Qi, otherwise, it wouldn't be so simple.
Seeing He Chen lying on the ground crying out in pain, He Yiming came to his senses. He took a big stride and came to He Chen's side. He reached out and pulled him up. A wave of wood attribute true qi circulated in He Chen's body and immediately healed the small wound on his body.
"He Chen, continue to do as Master says."
After saying that, He Yiming left as fast as he could.
He Chen responded, but when he turned around, he was dumbfounded.
Now that the fake mountain had been blown away, leaving behind a big black hole, anyone who saw it would have the idea of going down to investigate. How could he keep this a secret …?
※ ※ ※
He Yiming flew out of the door because he had already heard the neighing of the Red Silk Horse outside the door. In addition, there were more than ten curses mixed with surprise.
"Good horse, really a good horse. Quickly catch it …"
"Ouch, it ran over there. Quickly block it …"
"It's running over here. What a fierce horse …"
Who else would have the heart to catch a horse at this moment except for those unscrupulous horse bandits?
He Yiming's body silently flipped over the wall and stood at the corner of the wall. The Red Silk Horse immediately discovered him. It turned around and galloped over in an instant with its bloody hooves.
Behind it, there were more than ten fierce-looking men, but these men were undoubtedly horse-lovers. They would rather be sent flying by the horse than wield a weapon.
However, when the Red Silk Horse stopped and they saw He Yiming, they realized something was wrong.
One of them did not say a word. He raised the broadsword in his hand and chopped down. Looking at the fierce glint in his eyes, it was obvious that he had become addicted to killing these days and could not restrain himself.
He Yiming's eyes widened. His upper body did not move and he suddenly kicked out.
This kick was as fast as lightning and as heavy as a spine. It kicked out with a bang and was much faster than the man's broadsword.
Although the man watched He Yiming kick out, his reaction could not keep up. Just as the thought of retreating or avoiding flashed through his mind, the kick had already landed on his chest.
Although it was just a light tap of the foot, the man flew out as if he had been hit by a thousand-pound hammer.
In mid-air, the broadsword in his hand had already fallen. With a clank, the horse bandit flew more than ten meters away before he fell heavily.
The rest of the horse bandits were aghast. The leader threw up his sleeve and in an instant, a whistling arrow soared into the sky, making a sharp whistling sound that resounded through the county.
He Yiming sneered again and again. He was worried that he could not gather the horse bandits in the county. Unexpectedly, someone had done it for him.
The leader did not know what He Yiming was thinking. He just wanted to stall for time. He cupped his hands and said, "I am the Red-scarf Burglar, Zong Kui. Who are you and why did you kill my brother?"
He Yiming knew that this person was stalling for time so that he could meet up with his companions. However, the two of them had the same idea. He Yiming also sneered and said, "You don't need to know who I am. I just want to know why the Red-scarf Burglars attacked Taicang County when they have always been in Tai 'a County."
Zong Kui raised his eyebrows and said, "The third leader of the Red-scarf Burglars, Chief Guan Wei, and the fourth leader, Big Brother Liao, died in the hands of the Cheng and He Families in Taicang County. Therefore, our leader came here to avenge our brothers. "
He Yiming's face became colder and colder. He said, "Avenge your brothers? Hehe, you can kill people, but when people kill you, you want to avenge them. You really are horse bandits."
Zong Kui said coldly, "Yes, we can kill people, but people can't offend us."
He Yiming lowered his head and suddenly asked, "I know about Guan Wei, but what about Big Brother Liao? How can you be sure that it was the He Family in Taicang County? "
Zong Kui's eyes looked into the distance. He faintly saw flashing torches in the distance quickly approaching. He was overjoyed, but his mouth continued to talk, "Those idiots from the He Family thought that no one knew them after they left Taicang County. They didn't know that the horses they rode had the mark of the He Family in Taicang County. Our brothers who were running for their lives only needed to catch up and secretly take a look, then they would know. Hehe, the leader was also hesitant whether or not to run hundreds of miles and massacre Taicang County. But after receiving the news of Big Brother Liao's death, he made up his mind to send his beloved mount to the two leaders of the Blue Sea Bandits. That's why there are four bandit groups united. "
Zong Kui's words became slower and slower, and the joy in his eyes became stronger and stronger. At this moment, there was already a hubbub of voices. Dozens of people came running from several directions. In total, there were more than a hundred people.
One person said loudly, "Zong Kui, what happened? Why did you shoot the whistling arrow?"
Zong Kui hurriedly said respectfully, "Leader Li, there's a problem here, but there's a good horse."
Leader Li's eyes immediately lit up. He stared at the red silk horse without blinking. As a member of the horse bandits, of course, he could tell the quality of the horse at a glance.
He turned his head to look. Beside the horse, there was a strange young man. On the back of the young man, there was a long and eye-catching cloth strip. But at this moment, there was only the red precious horse in his eyes. How could he care about this guy of unknown origin?
"Yes, it's indeed a good horse. I want this horse. Children, kill this guy for me."
The horse bandits responded. A few of the eager horse bandits drew their swords and were about to rush over.
However, at this moment, the expressionless young man suddenly raised his head.
At this moment, his eyes were as bright as the stars.
The horse bandits were startled. They didn't know why, but when they looked at this pair of eyes, there was an indescribable chill in their hearts.
He Yiming's mouth overflowed with a smile. In this smile, there seemed to be unimaginable regret and indignation.
He slowly opened his mouth and said softly, "Uncle, I was wrong. It turns out that it's right to eliminate evil."
Although his words were not heavy, more than a hundred people heard it clearly. Many horse bandits looked at each other. This person couldn't have been scared silly, right? But why were their hearts filled with a chill that they didn't know what to do?
Suddenly, there was a blur in front of their eyes, and the young man's figure had already disappeared from their sight.
"Ah …"
A mournful scream pierced through the night sky. Everyone's eyes were dazzled. It seemed that someone was thrown high into the sky and disappeared without a trace. In the blink of an eye, the screams seemed to be contagious, rising and falling one after another.
Many horse bandits angrily shouted again and again, wanting to surround and kill that person. However, they quickly found that they couldn't keep up with this person's rhythm. In just a moment, more than a hundred people fell. Only a dozen or so people with good eyesight were left. Seeing that the situation was not good, they immediately fled.
Master Li was shocked. Just as he was about to leave, he felt his body sink. Suddenly, his legs became weak and he knelt down.
He Yiming put a hand on his shoulder. His voice was like ten thousand years of ice: "After you broke into the city, where was the Cheng Clan?"
Master Li was scared out of his wits. He subconsciously said: "Sir, please spare my life. After we broke into the city, the Cheng Clan and the He Clan fled to the Xu Clan?"
"The Xu Clan? The He Clan was there too? "
"Yes, the Great Master sent a message. The core disciples of the three major clans of Taicang County are gathered in one place. They are defending the Xu Clan."
He Yiming's mind suddenly flashed with the tall walls of the Xu Clan. His heart calmed down.
"How many people are there in the Four Great Horse Bandits?"
Master Li hesitated for a moment. Suddenly, he felt a strong force enter his shoulder. Immediately, the pain penetrated his bone marrow. Moreover, the other party's powerful aura was so strong that it instantly destroyed his will to resist.
In front of a Xiantian master, even this strong spiritual pressure was not something that anyone could withstand.
"More than five thousand in total."
"How strong are they?"
"Five Level Ten Internal Strength experts, dozens of Level Eight and Level Nine experts …"
He Yiming's heart became colder and colder. The horse bandits' combined strength was so strong. This was simply inconceivable. They were even stronger than an aristocratic clan with a thousand years of inheritance.
"What's the situation at the Xu Clan?"
"The Great Master sent a message tonight. We've already surrounded them for five days. We've made a few openings. We'll launch an attack tomorrow morning. We'll definitely be able to take it …"
"Hehe, we'll definitely be able to take it?" He Yiming suddenly laughed loudly. His voice was filled with killing intent.
Master Li knew that the situation was bad. He held onto his last hope and shouted, "Sir, please spare my life. This lowly one will never dare to be a horse bandit again."
He Yiming's gaze was cold and severe. He said, "I've already made a mistake once. I won't make a mistake a second time."
His figure leaped high. He didn't even bother to ride the Red Silk Horse. He was like a cloud in the air. Like the wind, he rushed in the direction of the Xu Clan.
Behind him, Master Li's body swayed twice. Finally, he fell down. Just like the countless people he had killed, he couldn't get up again!
