"Hiss … This is terrible!"
Many people were watching the scene outside the City Amongst the Clouds.
The sound of people sucking in a breath of cold air rose and fell, resounding everywhere.
Dozens of headless corpses were hanging outside the City Amongst the Clouds. The scene was so tragic that it made many people's hair stand on end!
Especially …
Many of the corpses still had remnants of cultivation, emitting an aura that made people's hearts palpitate.
"This corpse was definitely a Sun Warrior when he was alive!"
"Oh my god! Even though he was dead for a long time, his True Origin Energy is still shocking. Could he be a half step into the Black Hole realm? "
"Oh my god!"
Some of them even let out blood-curdling screams and wet their pants in fear.
This was because the corpse he had flipped over was still filled with black mist, corroding his fingers and causing a nick to appear.
"This remnant energy … Was it a Black Hole warrior who was killed?!"
At this time, everyone's hair stood on end. Even the Sun Warriors were about to fall, and the black hole was about to be executed …
The level of the battle last night had completely exceeded everyone's imagination!
Finally, a busybody made the statistics.
In the battle last night, a total of five Black Hole warriors and 20 Sun Warriors had died. Even the weakest among them was a high-level Moon Warrior!
"How are they bandits? They are clearly the private forces of a powerful force! "
"Even their private forces are so powerful. I'm afraid they are from the Ten Great Families!"
Someone made a horrifying deduction, causing everyone to suck in a breath of cold air again.
The people from the Ten Great Families had arrived, but they had died outside the City Amongst the Clouds. Some of them had even been decapitated, and their headless corpses were hanging on the city wall.
"This … This … This is going to turn the world upside down!"
"This is no longer a provocation or a test. This is going to start a war!"
Soon, more people thought of the conflict between the Lin Family and the Chu Family.
Last night, the Chu Family's mansion floating in the sky had also emitted a shocking energy fluctuation, as if there had been a fierce battle between powerhouses.
"If that's the case …"
Countless people looked at each other, and there was only horror left in their hearts.
"These headless corpses are all from the Lin Family?"
…
Even with the Chu Family's suppression, the incident in the City Amongst the Clouds did not subside quickly.
On the contrary …
News that was difficult to distinguish between true and false spread throughout the Cloud Sea Empire in the blink of an eye through the Xu Ling Network.
The scene of the headless corpse hanging in the air was even reconstructed into a 3D image and spread like wildfire on the church's network.
"Damn the Chu Clan!!"
"The Chu Clan will be destroyed!!"
"Chen Xiao must die!"
That very day, passersby heard the Lin Family's earth-shaking roars coming from far away in another main city.
Not long after, an astronomical bounty was issued.
"Chu Yuanfeng, Patriarch of the Chu Family. Bounty of one billion imperial coins, a hundred origin stones, a Seven Luminaries Holy Vine …"
"Second Master of the Chu Clan, Chu Yingye, bounty of eight hundred million empire coins, eighty origin stones, a pair of Four Symbols Heart-Protecting Mirror …"
"The third master of the Chu clan, Chu Yanxun …"
Every single member of the Chu Clan's upper echelon was listed on the list.
Just the bounty of Imperial coins alone, along with the accompanying source stones and treasures, was enough to tempt many villains!
But what truly shocked the world was the name at the end of the bounty notice, which was bolded in blood.
"Chen Xiao, his true cultivation level is a high-level Star Warrior, and he has mastered a space-type movement Mystical Ability. His life-saving abilities are amazing. At the same time, he is good at array formations and can kill Black Hole Warriors when he is in an advantageous position. The bearer of the Blood Kill Curse has humiliated the third young master of the Lin Family and killed the chief steward of the Lin Family and five Black Hole Warriors. His crimes are unforgivable. Anyone who can take his head can make a request to the Lin Family unconditionally! "
As soon as the bounty notice was issued, more than half of the Cloud Sea Empire was in an uproar!
Even some of the reclusive Black Hole warriors were alarmed by this bounty.
"How many years has it been since the Blood Kill Curse appeared?"
In Hanyou City, one of the four main cities, a white-haired fairy couldn't help but mutter to herself.
In the past hundred years.
The Lin Family had only issued the Blood Kill Curse three times.
The first time, a veteran Black Hole Warrior died. He was beheaded and dismembered. His death was extremely miserable.
The second time, a mid-level family was destroyed, and no one survived, including a Black Hole Warrior.
Only the third time, the bearer of the Blood Kill Curse had survived to this day.
But even so, the bearer still had to leave his hometown and narrowly escaped death several times. He didn't dare to return home even once for more than ten years!
And now, it was the fourth time!
"The Lin Family has always been domineering. Now that they've issued the Blood Kill Curse, there will most likely be a bloodbath!"
In the Cloud Sea Empire, some people who knew the situation couldn't help but sigh.
The reward of making an unconditional request to the Lin Family was too tempting. It was destined to make people lose their minds and rush forward like moths to a flame.
"I just don't know … how long can the bearer of the order last in the pursuit?"
There were also a few people who thought …
Chen Xiao's background was mysterious and unfathomable. He might be able to create a miracle.
But the possibility of this happening was too low. Many people didn't believe it at all.
Most people were only concerned about how long Chen Xiao could last, and who was the person who would win the Lin Family's favor in the end!
…
City Amongst the Clouds, the Chu Family's residence.
As soon as the Lin Family issued the bounty notice, everyone in the Chu Family felt heavy.
Especially the existence of the Blood Kill Curse, there was a trace of terror in the murderous atmosphere.
"In my opinion, the problem lies with that Chen Xiao."
"If he didn't cripple the Lin Family's Third Young Master, how could there be so many things later?"
"We won't anger the Lin Family, and we won't attract the Lin Family's bounty …"
In the residence, the Chu Family members were discussing in low voices.
"Brat, don't talk nonsense if you don't know the inside story!"
Chu Yuanfeng roared angrily, scaring several Chu Family youths into running away immediately.
He shook his head helplessly and sighed deeply.
On the way here alone, he had already encountered similar situations five or six times.
"The Lin Family's target from the beginning was the Chu Family. It's just that Mr. Chen's appearance gave them an excuse to make trouble."
Thinking of the Chu Family's treasured holy badge, Chu Yuanfeng suddenly gritted his teeth and raised his hand to push open the door of the Crepe Myrtle Garden.
He knew.
At a time like this, there were some things that had to be told to Chen Xiao openly and honestly.
"Mr. Chen."
In the Crepe Myrtle Garden, Chen Xiao stood by the stone table with his hands behind his back, his white robe fluttering even though there was no wind.
Sensing Chu Yuanfeng's arrival, Chen Xiao slowly turned around with a smile on his face.
"Master Chu, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"So you've seen through me."
Seeing this, Chu Yuanfeng walked forward with a bitter smile and cupped his hands at Chen Xiao. "Today, I'm here to tell you the truth."
Chen Xiao nodded noncommittally. "Sit down and we'll talk."
After sitting down, Chu Yuanfeng took a deep breath and said after some deliberation,
"I wonder if Mr. Chen has heard of … the Holy Sect of Cloud Sea?"
