"Blood!!?" Suddenly, one of the masters felt something wet under his eyes. He reached out to touch it, only to find that his eyes were bleeding.
"No!!"
There was a series of thuds.
Before they could figure out what was happening, they all fell to the ground and slowly lost their breath. Blood flowed out of their orifices, and they were killed by the sword.
Threads of red came out from under the corpses and flew back to Lu Sheng's feet, quickly disappearing without a trace.
On the surface, Lu Sheng used the normal Chasing Sun Sword Technique and True Qi to increase its power. But in reality, with his current True Qi cultivation, there was no way he could instantly kill so many Realm of Bind masters. What really worked was the Internal Blood Qi Net that he secretly released.
Using Inner Qi that was similar to True Qi, even if it was discovered, it wouldn't cause much of a commotion. At most, they would think that he had learned some powerful supportive secret technique.
The rest of the Fierce Tiger Triad saw that the situation was bad and all jumped into the water to escape.
Lu Sheng didn't bother with these small fries. The real mastermind, Yuan Yingxiao, and the ten Realm of Bind masters were enough.
"Lu Sheng …" Elder Zhang Shilong finally reacted. It wasn't that he was slow, but that Lu Sheng's movements were too fast, and the effect was too shocking. Not only did he kill all the Fierce Tiger Triad masters, but he was also stunned. That was indeed an Earth Level attack, but a normal Earth Level cultivator wouldn't be able to unleash such a powerful attack.
Logically speaking, every level of Earth Level wasn't a change in quantity, but an increase in quality. But Lu Sheng's attack was like multiple Earth Level cultivators attacking at the same time. The area of effect was far beyond what a normal person could imagine. The quality didn't change, but the area of effect was far greater than an Earth Level cultivator in the lower three grades.
Zhang Shilong came back to his senses. Seeing the mess on the deck, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"This is troublesome …"
"It's just a normal gang leader. So what if he's dead? What's there to worry about, Elder Zhang?" Lu Sheng didn't care and put his sword back into its scabbard. However, the blade was already damaged from that attack. It would probably be scrapped soon.
"The Fierce Tiger Tribe isn't much, but behind them is a third-rank official of the Imperial Court, and a general with military power. Yuan Yingxiao's brother is an elder of the Spirit Bind Sect in the Moling Prefecture. For the Spirit Bind Sect and the Imperial Court to work together, the Fierce Tiger Gang's mission had to be extremely important. The power and background involved in this is completely unimaginable. "
"What's the point of saying so much? I've already killed them. If they have any problems, tell them to look for me, "Lu Sheng said casually.
"You … you!" Zhang Shilong said helplessly. "Your teacher won't care about these things. This is just a small matter to her. If you die, she will at most find someone else to be her disciple. You can only rely on yourself for this kind of thing. "
"So what?" Lu Sheng disagreed. "It just so happens that my cultivation has stagnated and reached a bottleneck. Wouldn't it be better to have more opponents to help me break through?"
"The problem is that the pressure is too great. Be careful not to get crushed to death!"
"If I die, it's because I'm too weak. I can't blame anyone else."
Zhang Shilong was speechless. He pointed at Lu Sheng and didn't know what else to say. It was just as he said. He had already killed them. What else could he do?
What was done could not be undone. He might as well think about how to deal with the aftermath.
In a moment of desperation, Zhang Shilong grabbed Lu Sheng's hand and said in a low voice, "Come ashore with me to meet someone. My teacher, Cave Master Mu Shan, has a lot of connections in Moling. Maybe he can help!"
"Elder Zhang, don't worry. The three sects can't kill each other. As long as they follow the rules, I'm not afraid of any tricks." Lu Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"I'm just worried that they'll play dirty!" Zhang Shilong said helplessly.
…
Moling Prefecture, Fierce Tiger Gang's headquarters.
Bang bang bang, bang bang bang, bang bang bang, bang bang bang, bang bang bang.
Fierce Water Tiger Zhao Qianzhong was topless, revealing his strong bronze muscles. He gripped the drumsticks tightly and hit the milky white drum in front of him rhythmically.
He had a smile on his face. From time to time, he would turn around and use strength from his waist to hit the drum even louder.
The drum was propped up on a high platform. Below the platform was a vast open water area.
Numerous yellow dragon boats were chasing each other at high speed, circling around the platform where the drum was located, circling around the huge ring.
The deafening sound of the drum caused the surface of the water to tremble and ripple.
"Red Ghost! Red Ghost! Red Ghost! Red Ghost! "
"Black Shark! Black Shark! "
"White Whale! White Whale! "
A cacophony of cheers could be heard. The ships around the waters were filled with gang members who had come to watch the show.
Today was the annual Fierce Tiger Gang Dragon Boat Race. Chief Zhao Qianzhong didn't have many hobbies, but he liked to beat the drum. Moreover, it was a multi-layered drum made from the hide of a double-headed bull.
A normal person wouldn't be able to make a sound. Only an expert with a certain level of strength could make a sound.
Zhao Qianzhong liked to beat the drum, and he liked it even more when there were many people watching him beat the drum.
The more people there were, the more excited he became.
As the drum rumbled, the vice chief sat not far away, greeting the guests who had come to support him. Among them were the Youyin Sect's directors and elders.
As the speed of the dragon boats increased, and the race became more and more intense, the gang members on the surrounding boats became more and more excited. Most of them started to shout and cheer.
They placed their bets on different dragon boats, waiting for the final result.
"Bam!!"
Zhao Qianzhong's last hit landed on the drum, ending the race. He casually tossed the drum stick to a subordinate, turned around, and walked down the platform, heading towards the winning team.
Suddenly, a few high-ranking members of the gang hurried over, stopped him, and whispered something to him.
Zhao Qianzhong's originally happy expression quickly turned red as his subordinates spoke, and then his expression darkened. His previous relaxed and joyful expression disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Is this true?" he asked coldly.
"We've found the vice chief's corpse," the high-ranking members of the gang said solemnly.
"Take me to him." Zhao Qianzhong's expression quickly calmed down. He even had a faint smile on his face, making it hard to tell what he was feeling.
A few of the higher-ups brought him all the way to a cabin that was docked by the shore. In one of the spacious small halls. In one of the spacious halls, Zhao Qianzhong saw Yuan Yingxiao, who had died with his eyes wide open.
There was another person in the hall. He was wearing a red robe, with a strange face with black hair and golden eyes embroidered on the back.
This person stood quietly next to Yuan Yingxiao's corpse with his hands behind his back, not saying a word.
"All of you, leave." Zhao Qianzhong waved his hand, and all the gang members left the hall. Soon, only he and the red-robed person were left.
"Yuan Chengdao, after this happened, I was also very surprised. Yingxiao only went to investigate a remnant of the Ice Crack Gang, and he seemed to have found some clues, so he stopped a merchant ship to search. I didn't think … "Zhao Qianzhong's expression was sincere as he said in a low voice. His subordinates had already roughly explained to him what had happened.
"It's not your fault." The red-robed person had his back to him, and looked down at Yuan Yingxiao's corpse. He reached out and closed the corpse's eyes.
"The one who did it was a genius disciple of the Thousand Sun Sect from the Autumn Moon County," Yuan Chengdao said lightly. "Even though the situation was aggravated by Yingxiao's search, they're fine, but my brother is dead."
Zhao Qianzhong was silent. He didn't know how to comfort him. He just stood there quietly, waiting for him to continue.
"The Thousand Sun Sect has been watching from the sidelines for too long," Yuan Chengdao said lightly. "Maybe they think we're not as strong as before after fighting with the Youyin Sect. That's why they're so arrogant, "Yuan Chengdao said lightly.
"What do you want to do?" Zhao Qianzhong frowned.
"The person who killed my brother, I want him dead!" Yuan Chengdao turned around, revealing his hideous face. Half of his face had been burned, and there were burn scars and stitched wounds everywhere.
"That's fine. A genius from a branch isn't much. "Zhao Qianzhong nodded. "That elder from the Thousand Sun Sect called Zhang Shilong and all the people on his ship can be taken care of in secret. It's just a few more ordinary people. "
"The owner of the ship is the White Flag Chamber of Commerce, and the head of the chamber, Bai Houren, is harboring a fugitive. He deserves to die, and should be punished." Yuan Chengdao stared at Zhao Qianzhong calmly.
"Bai Houren … he's from Li Shan … I'm afraid …" Zhao Qianzhong frowned.
"No need for you to do it. I'll do it myself."
"… Alright. I'll have the Nine Stars cooperate with you. "Zhao Qianzhong sighed.
Yuan Chengdao nodded and squatted down, leaning over his brother Yuan Yingxiao's corpse. He touched the back of the corpse's hand with his forehead and mumbled something, as if he was praying with his eyes closed.
…
After being interrogated by the Yangming Army, Zhang Shilong flashed the token of the three major sects to get away safely.
The rest of the people on the ship still had to be interrogated. After all, it was very rare for something like this to happen on such a close river.
Luckily, the Thousand Sun Sect was influential enough. Zhang Shilong led Lu Sheng off the ship and into the city. Without wasting any time, they headed straight for the headquarters of the Thousand Sun Sect in the prefectural city.
The headquarters of the Thousand Sun Sect in the prefectural city was a huge city with yellow roofs. It was called Thousand Sun City. It was the size of a small town, and could house thousands of people. The white brick buildings with yellow roofs stretched as far as the eye could see.
After being checked at the gate, Zhang Shilong let out a long sigh of relief after entering the headquarters.
"Let's go! I'll take you to see my master first, then go report. "He pulled Lu Sheng and rushed toward the left side of the small city.
After passing through a few streets, Lu Sheng discovered, to his surprise, that in this small city of the Thousand Sun Sect's headquarters, sect disciples strolling leisurely on the streets, old men and women chatting and arguing by the pool, and the trails of light from Artifacts flying above their heads …
Everywhere was filled with a lazy and peaceful aura.
It didn't look like the headquarters of a major sect, but more like a small town on the border for retirement.
Zhang Shilong dragged him along the deserted streets for a long time, and finally turned into a small alley. He stopped in front of a shop with a white sign on it.
"This shop is my master's property. He usually practices his Dharma Tools here, and has hired a few sensible people from the sect. Business is pretty good, "Zhang Shilong said as he pushed open the revolving door of the shop.
To Lu Sheng's surprise, this revolving door was similar to the revolving doors in front of hotels on Earth. People walked into one of the boxes, followed the turn of the door, and walked directly into the inner hall.
They followed the revolving door and entered the shop. Inside, there were counters in the shape of a circle. A pillar stood in the middle, surrounded by counters on all sides. A young worker was swiftly wiping the dust off the counters with a cloth.
