113: What does it mean to have a river of blood?
Miracle Thugs Base:
Inside Meihong House, the Buyi Qingnian sat in the center, his expression serious.
Seven or eight burly Thugs were reporting the situation:
"Saber Master, that group went in the direction of Caotou Mountain!"
"Half of the people they're investigating are our own."
"These people were all involved in the incident a few days ago, intercepting the black gold trade of the Noble families from the countryside."
The Cloth-Clad Saber Master was silent.
The reason his Miracle Thugs organization could exist was to do things for certain Big Shots in Zhou City.
The descendants of those Big Shots wanted to control the black gold trade.
His mission was to eliminate everyone who traded black gold privately.
The Cloth-Clad Saber Master stood up and said, "I rose from obscurity, and it was through the appreciation of Second Miss Wang that I was able to establish myself in this Prosperous Land."
"We are doing things for Second Miss Wang, but we've stirred up trouble."
"What do you all think we should do?"
Many Thugs said, "Saber Master, kill those who are causing trouble."
The Cloth-Clad Saber Master nodded.
Morale was high.
He was very satisfied.
But... he dared not kill.
Because:
That group of Dragons had actually killed Sky-Touching Vajra.
The Cloth-Clad Saber Master considered himself powerful, but he felt he was no match for Sky-Touching Vajra.
So... he was even less a match for Chu Qing and the others.
"Gather your men, we'll be ready to strike at any time."
"I'm going to see Second Miss Wang!"
"Yes, sir!"
The Cloth-Clad Saber Master left in a hurry.
The Miracle Thugs organization was silent.
Everyone was waiting for news.
Waiting for news from the Cloth-Clad Saber Master, waiting for news from Caotou Mountain.
One hour... two hours... they waited from morning until afternoon.
Clang!
Someone violently opened the door.
The Thugs looked and saw it was the person sent to gather information.
This person said in a panic:
"That group of Dragons went to Caotou Mountain and slaughtered all the bandits under Sky-Touching Vajra.
"I was waiting at the foot of the mountain, and all I heard were continuous screams from the mountain!"
"Not long after, blood flowed down the mountain like a small stream."
Many Thugs were horrified.
"Where did they go?"
"They set Caotou Mountain on fire and are heading towards the Prosperous Land."
A Thug said, "Go quickly and contact the Saber Master."
"Yes!"
The subordinate ran off.
Several leader-level Thugs exchanged glances, and one Thug said, "My elderly mother at home is seriously ill, I'm going to take care of her now."
Another Thug said, "My wife has been lonely for several days, I'm going to see if she's been cheating on me!"
When the seven or eight Thugs heard that Chu Qing and the others had wiped out Caotou Mountain, they scattered in all directions.
They had no choice but to run.
Their place, too, was likely to become a river of blood.
The high-ranking members found excuses to flee, but they blocked the news, making the mid-level members lead the lower-level Thugs to guard the base.
"If we all run, that fierce person won't find anyone to kill and will surely be enraged."
The flight of the Miracle Thugs' high-ranking members was quickly learned by other forces.
This group of people was dumbfounded.
Fleeing at the mere rumor?
What news did the Miracle Thugs' people get? Why did they flee in such a hurry?
Not long after, news came that Sky-Touching Vajra's Caotou Mountain had been drenched in blood and then burned by a huge fire.
"How ruthless!"
"Blood flowed down the mountain?"
"And they set it on fire?"
"Are they going to burn all seventy-two Caotou Mountains?"
In this season, the weather was dry and parched.
Once a mountain fire started, it was terrifying.
"Are they crazy?"
"Are they trying to offend all forces in Zhou City at once?"
Everyone in the Prosperous Land was dumbfounded after receiving this news.
Killing people was not terrifying.
But killing so many people that blood flowed down a mountain was terrifying.
What was even more terrifying was:
This group of people actually set the mountain on fire.
"The Emperor's Star is unstable, Prodigies are emerging endlessly!"
"This world is about to fall into chaos!"
...The Cloth-Clad Saber Master waited at Second Miss Wang's door from morning until afternoon, his hands clasped, like a statue, motionless.
People came and went, but no one looked him in the eye.
Outside the city, he was the high and mighty Saber Master.
But in front of Second Miss Wang, he was nothing.
At this moment:
A Thug came over:
"Saber Master, something has happened."
The Thug explained the situation.
The Cloth-Clad Saber Master was drenched in sweat.
In an instant, he had only one thought: Run!
Run as far as he could!
But... thinking of Second Miss Wang's terrifying nature, his legs felt like they were filled with lead, unable to move.
I can't run, if I run, I'll definitely wish I were dead.
At this moment, the subordinate left.
The Cloth-Clad Saber Master's mind was in turmoil.
He repeatedly begged the gatekeeper to let him see Second Miss Wang as soon as possible.
The gatekeeper sneered, "Wait!"
"Second Miss is currently enjoying flowers with her guests!"
The Cloth-Clad Saber Master had no choice but to continue waiting.
"Outside, I can command the wind and rain."
"But I'm not even as good as Second Miss's gatekeeper."
After a long time, Second Miss Wang summoned him.
When the Cloth-Clad Saber Master paid his respects to Second Miss Wang, he dared not even lift his head.
He knelt on the ground, carefully recounting the events.
After a long time, he heard Second Miss Wang say in surprise, "You're lying to me!"
The Cloth-Clad Saber Master kowtowed, panicking, "Second Miss, I wouldn't dare lie to you."
Second Miss Wang sneered, "Caotou Mountain is very large, how much blood would it take to flow down the mountain?"
The Cloth-Clad Saber Master explained, "That group of people chopped everyone in half."
Second Miss Wang frowned, feeling a chill run down her spine.
Although she had seen scenes of corpses littering the ground.
However, she couldn't imagine the sight of everyone being chopped in half.
That scene was a bit too brutal.
She took a deep breath and whispered, "Execute him, and send their heads over!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
"But Second Miss, I might not be a match for them."
Second Miss Wang pondered for a moment, then said:
"I have a household servant, Feng Houzi."
"Take him with you and deal with them."
The Cloth-Clad Saber Master was overjoyed: "Yes, ma'am!"
Feng Houzi was a master among masters.
Although he hadn't undergone Blood Refinement, he had Cultivated 365 Iron Tendons, and was now striving to break through to 365 Iron Bones.
He also Cultivated a set of strange weapon techniques.
He was even more powerful than Sky-Touching Vajra, who had undergone Blood Refinement ten times.
With his help, this matter was settled.
One hour later:
The Cloth-Clad Saber Master, accompanied by Feng Houzi, returned to the Prosperous Land.
As soon as he entered the Prosperous Land, he sensed something was off:
Everyone looked at him with strange eyes.
Some of his enemies, when they saw him, had fierce glints in their eyes.
Before, these people wouldn't dare to look at him like that.
"Something has happened!"
The Cloth-Clad Saber Master felt uneasy and quickened his pace.
Then:
Feng Houzi said coldly, "Why are you panicking?"
"Be calm, maintain your composure."
"A person who panics will die."
The Cloth-Clad Saber Master immediately clasped his hands and said, "Yes, sir!"
Ten minutes later:
The two arrived outside the Miracle Thugs base.
Blood flowed from under the door, and the entrance was stained red with blood.
They opened the door.
Inside, there were bodies everywhere.
Hundreds of Thugs, either chopped in half or beheaded.
Inside the large room, there were bodies everywhere.
At this moment:
They fell silent.
After a long time, Feng Houzi said, "You go and report to Second Miss."
"I'll go find the culprit!"
The Cloth-Clad Saber Master hesitated, then nodded and said, "Alright!"
The next second:
Whoosh!
Feng Houzi, like a gust of wind, sprinted out of the Prosperous Land.
As he ran:
The skinny monkey's Killing Intent surged.
"No one has ever dared to harm Second Miss's dogs."
"These bumpkins from the countryside are truly... deserving of ten thousand deaths!"
Feng Houzi was skilled at tracking.
Through the slightest clues, he relentlessly locked onto the direction of Chu Qing and the others.
"After gathering information, they annihilated Sky-Touching Vajra's Caotou Mountain, then instead of fleeing, they did the opposite, going to the Prosperous Land to destroy the Miracle Thugs before escaping to the countryside."
"A little clever, but not much!"
Feng Houzi was seething with Killing Intent.
At this moment:
Chu Qing, leading Cui Moyang and the others, carrying large and small bags, was on their way.
Originally, according to Chu Qing's intention, he wanted to eliminate everyone on the wanted posters and the organizations behind them.
But when he found some black gold at the Miracle Thugs base, he changed his mind.
At the Miracle Thugs' place, there were over a hundred taels of black gold.
"What I want is black gold!"
"Now that the black gold is in hand, what I should do most is to advance to Secret Inheritance, and then officially refine my bones."
"Revenge and slaughter are secondary."
Therefore, he brought his people back.
As they rushed along, everyone was in good spirits.
Although their trip to Zhou City didn't truly allow them to see the prosperity of Zhou City, they had plundered many resources from Caotou Mountain and the Miracle Thugs.
They had made a huge profit!
By evening, Chu Qing felt Killing Intent sweeping towards them from behind.
A moment later:
Cui Moyang and the others also noticed it.
Thud!
Chu Qing threw his things on the ground and looked back.
Cui Moyang and the others did the same.
"It seems someone doesn't want us to go back!"
Rip!
Cui Moyang drew her hairpin sword and said coldly, "Then let's eliminate him!"
