On the fourth day, as expected, the assassin from the Azure Dragon Society did not show up. This caused the people of the Yue Clan to be extremely excited. They thought that the assassin from the Azure Dragon Society had been frightened by them. However, on the fifth day, Chu Xiu saw the reactions of the other clans in the Beiling Manor. This caused a cold smile to appear on his face, and he continued to sneak into the Yue Clan at night to kill.
Moreover, because the other clans in the Beiling Mansion let him off easy, Chu Xiu did not need to hide outside the city after killing people. He only needed to change his clothes and hide a little. No one would care if he set up an ambush in the city.
The people from the other clans had been instructed by their superiors that they were all blind and mute during this period of time. They had to pretend that they didn't see anything or anyone they saw and not make a sound. This gave Chu Xiu a lot of convenience.
However, in this way, the Yue Clan gradually fell into despair.
For three consecutive days, people died every night, and there was more than one. There were Blood Condensation Realm and Innate Realm warriors.
This time, no Inner Aura Realm warriors died. This was because the Yue Clan had learned to be smart. At night, the Inner Aura Realm warriors would patrol in pairs. Chu Xiu was confident that he could kill an Inner Aura Realm warrior in a few moves, but he could not kill two.
However, it was also because of this that the Inner Aura Realm warriors' patrol range became larger. Sometimes, they would only hear the commotion after Chu Xiu had killed a few people, but Chu Xiu would escape calmly.
In this kind of atmosphere, panic gradually spread. Chu Xiu killed people, but what he destroyed was the heart!
There were less than two hundred people in the Yue Clan's Nine Branches, so they could gather in the Yue Clan's Inner Residence calmly. Naturally, they were not afraid of being killed by Chu Xiu.
However, the Yue Clan's collateral relatives and servants occupied the majority. The Yue Clan's Inner Residence could not accommodate so many people, so those who died were basically collateral relatives and servants.
Sometimes, death was not the most terrifying thing. The unknown was the most terrifying thing.
No one knew when death would befall them. Every night, the Yue Clan's collateral disciples and servants would tremble with fear as if they were about to go to the execution ground. No one knew if they would be able to see the next day's sun.
When the next morning arrived, they all heaved a sigh of relief. Feeling their backs drenched in cold sweat, these people all felt as if they had just survived a disaster.
There was a great terror between life and death. To the people of the Yue Clan, they were currently living between life and death. Every day, their lives were not in their control.
This kind of feeling was not good, not to mention that they had to experience it every day. Hence, after three days, there were finally people who could not take it anymore. The Yue Clan's servants started to flee.
Especially at night, when some of the Yue Clan's servants carried lanterns and patrolled the area, they immediately left and never returned.
At first, some people thought that they were killed by the assassins of the Blue Dragon Society. However, when they didn't find any corpses and noticed that there were too many of them, they realized that these people had actually escaped!
Moreover, this kind of thing happened once. At first, there were only a few people who escaped, but later, there were more than a dozen of them.
Seven days later, in the Yue Clan's Conference Hall, everyone's faces were gloomy.
Yue Henian looked at Yue Donglin of the Yue Clan's First Branch and asked, "How many people ran away yesterday?"
Yue Donglin's expression was ugly. After a while, he said, "More than three hundred people!"
As soon as he said that, everyone's expressions turned extremely ugly.
The Yue Clan was a clan that had reproduced in the Beiling Prefecture for many generations. They were different from the other small clans. The servants in the clan were also carefully trained by the Yue Clan. Some of them were even the descendants of the old servants of the Yue Clan. Their ability and loyalty were definitely guaranteed. In the end, more than three hundred people ran away in one day.
It must be known that the total number of Yue Clan's servants was less than four thousand. In just one day, one-tenth of them had already run away!
"Our Yue Clan is in danger!"
After a long while, Yue Henian finally spat out these words.
In the beginning, no one in the Yue Clan took a killer from the Blue Dragon Society seriously.
The Blue Dragon Society had accepted the mission of exterminating an entire clan. However, the price of exterminating an entire clan was too high. Even if they took out all the assets of the Mu Clan, it would still be impossible to invite the Blue Dragon Society to exterminate the Yue Clan. A single killer could at most bring some trouble to the Yue Clan.
However, who would have thought that such a killer had killed more than a dozen of their people in the past few days. In the end, he had indirectly forced hundreds of them to run away. This had already affected the Yue Clan's foundation!
Yue Donglin said in a deep voice, "Father, if there's really no other way, we can only inform the Divine Martial Sect and ask them to send an expert to settle this."
Previously, the Yue Clan had never thought of asking the Divine Martial Sect for help. It wasn't that the Yue Clan hadn't thought of this, but that they didn't want to go.
The Yue Clan had indeed climbed up to the Divine Martial Sect. However, the key point was that the Yue Clan was only climbing up to the Divine Martial Sect. They could ask for help from the Divine Martial Sect, but this kind of favor would only get weaker and weaker. Therefore, the Yue Clan wasn't willing to trouble the Divine Martial Sect unless it was a big matter.
However, now that the killer from the Blue Dragon Society had already threatened the Yue Clan's foundation, it would be impossible not to send someone to ask for help.
Yue Henian also nodded and said, "Then let's go. The Fourth Prince, you should go this time. The South of Yan Kingdom is quite far from here. Bring some people and return quickly. Oh right, it would be best if the Divine Martial Sect could send an expert at the level of Three Flowers and Five Qi. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I won't be able to deal with the killer from the Blue Dragon Society. "
Although Yue Henian was a little old, he still had the strength of a Physical Invulnerability Expert.
These few days, he had been patrolling the Yue Clan's Inner Residence for a period of time. However, he didn't even have the chance to meet Chu Xiu face to face.
The other party's killing power and hidden strength had somewhat exceeded Yue Henian's imagination. This was definitely an exceptionally troublesome person. He was afraid that even a Physical Invulnerability Expert from the Divine Martial Sect wouldn't be able to suppress the other party.
The Fourth Prince of the Yue Clan nodded. Without any delay, he immediately brought his people and departed.
Because they had to travel fast, the Fourth Prince of the Yue Clan didn't bring too many people. He only brought a dozen of his trusted subordinates and went down the mountain. However, just as they left, Chu Xiu walked out from a small alley not far from the Yue Clan's Mansion. His eyes revealed a hint of coldness.
The warriors who followed the Fourth Prince of the Yue Clan to the Divine Martial Sect consisted of collateral relatives and servants. They were all in a good mood at the moment. Since they had followed the Fourth Master out, they didn't have to go on night patrol anymore. They didn't have to experience the feeling of losing their lives at any time.
The mountain road in the Beiling Mansion was steep. Although they had fast horses, they couldn't ride them. They could only walk with their horses. Just as they turned a corner, a black-clothed man stood in the middle of the road in front of them. He wore a black-clothed bamboo hat with golden patterns on it and a black-clothed mask on his face. He stood there with a blade in his hand, emitting a cold light from his body.
The people from the Yue Clan were all stunned. However, an extreme sense of fear shrouded their bodies, including the Fourth Prince of the Yue Clan.
The leader of the Yue Clan's Fifth Branch had died in the hands of this Black Dragon Triad assassin. He didn't even manage to resist a few moves before he was killed.
His strength wasn't much stronger than the people from the Yue Clan's Fifth Branch. Now that he was faced with such a terrifying existence, what could he use to defend himself?
"Run!"
The Fourth Prince of the Yue Clan shouted, then immediately turned around and ran up the mountain.
It was a pity that he didn't make it clear in his haste. Some of his subordinates ran up the mountain with him, while others ran in all directions.
Chu Xiu didn't care about the others. Instead, he slashed his blade towards the Fourth Prince of the Yue Clan. The crimson blade force was like a continuous drizzle. The powerful force caused the Fourth Prince's expression to change abruptly.
His strength was slightly stronger than the warrior from the Yue Clan's Fifth Branch. Furthermore, it wasn't Chu Xiu who launched a sneak attack. However, even so, he could still feel the strength of this Chu Xiu.
A long sword appeared in the hands of the Fourth Prince of the Yue Clan. When the sword force slashed horizontally, it was majestic. This was the Yue Clan's secret Mountain Calming Sword Art. It had both offense and defense, and was incomparably steady.
Moreover, the long sword in the hands of the Fourth Prince of the Yue Clan was emitting a dark light. That was the effect of the Earth Qi attached to the long sword. It carried an incomparably vigorous power. When the blade and the sword collided, Chu Xiu immediately felt a suction force appear. It could actually indirectly affect his blade force.
This made Chu Xiu a little flabbergasted. The Yue Clan was most famous for their Mountain Calming Sword Art, which was both offensive and defensive. He didn't expect that the Yue Clan's internal energy would actually have this kind of effect.
It was a pity that in front of Chu Xiu, this little bit of effect was nothing at all.
The blade force fell down like a violent storm. It was extremely fast, so fast that the Fourth Prince of the Yue Clan didn't even have a chance to react. Dozens of slashes fell, and almost all of them landed on the same spot. The long sword in the hands of the Fourth Prince of the Yue Clan broke with a loud bang.
A crimson blade appeared in front of him. The Fourth Prince of the Yue Clan shouted loudly. His hands were suffused with a dark gold colour, and he slapped towards the blade with a loud bang. A loud sound was heard. Chu Xiu's blade was actually deflected by the palm of the Fourth Prince of the Yue Clan, and it fell into the air by a hair's breadth.
The warriors of the Yue Clan weren't good at fighting, but the Yue Clan's nine branches all had their own businesses. It was normal for them to learn other martial arts by chance, or to find some opportunities from the secret boxes.
The Dark Gold Palm in front of him was the martial art that the Fourth Prince of the Yue Clan had obtained from the secret box. Moreover, he didn't tell anyone about it. He had been secretly training it all along, using it as his trump card. Now that he was facing a life and death situation, he couldn't care less about hiding it anymore.
