Chapter 71
“Cultivation breakthrough?
Here? ”
Kill Vanquish Wolf was stunned. His sharp eyes carefully sized up Xiao Chen’s posture. The expression on his face became a little strange, but soon after, it turned into one of admiration. The corner of his mouth revealed a smile. His smile gradually widened, and finally, his entire face was filled with happiness. He unreservedly praised Xiao Chen: “As expected of an outstanding descendant of the Sha Clan!
Xiao Chen, Third Uncle admires you!
I also admire you!
Haha! ”
When Kill God saw Xiao Chen being so arrogant and courageous, he also revealed a rare smile. To him, this was already an unprecedented thing. Xiao Chen’s personality was very much to his liking.
Kill Vanquish Wolf’s laughter was very arrogant. He was like a wild and untamed wolf king roaring. Everyone present was looking at him, no one dared to disrespect him.
After laughing for a while, Kill Vanquish Wolf stopped laughing. His facial expression returned to its original dignified expression. He looked at Kill Vanquish who was still kneeling on the ground and said in a gentle voice: “Vanquish Army, stand up. Protecting Xiao Chen, you have worked hard.”
“Ah?
Third Elder is too serious. Protecting Xiao Chen is this subordinate’s responsibility! ”
Kill Vanquish Wolf heard Kill Vanquish Wolf praising him. Immediately, he felt flattered. At the same time, he felt a lingering fear in his heart.
Because of his lack of protection, Xiao Chen was ambushed by the assassins. Fortunately, Xiao Chen was safe and sound. If something had happened to Xiao Chen, he could only die to atone for his crime.
Kill Vanquish Wolf nodded his head and ignored Army Destroyer Stomp. After which, he shifted his gaze towards the courtyard of the Ji Clan. His originally gentle gaze instantly turned ice-cold, and a faint ominous glint could be seen flickering in his eyes. It was like the gaze of a wolf king, causing people who saw it to feel their scalps numb, not daring to meet his gaze.
“Get out of the way!”
A loud shout came from inside the Ji Clan. Immediately, the Ji Clan’s Patriarch, Ji Chenggong, led a group of elders and young masters. They quickly passed through the path that the guards of the Ji Clan had opened up for them.
They didn’t go out because the entrance was still blocked by Kill Vanquish Army.
Ji Chenggong’s eyes were like torches. He could clearly see the situation outside at a glance. His heart was shaken, but he still maintained his calm on the surface.
When his eyes met the eyes of a dignified middle-aged man who was riding a maroon horse, a sincere smile appeared on his face, and he greeted him enthusiastically, “Welcome, Brother Po Lang. Cheng Cheng didn’t go out to meet you, please forgive me!
Haha! ”
The dignified patriarch of the Ji Family addressed the third elder of the Sha Family as his brother. This was not a fantasy story, but something that everyone had heard with their own ears. This was something that should be inconceivable, but in the ears of everyone, it felt as if it was only natural.
The Sha family had a transcendent status in the Killing God Tribe, and the third elder, Killing Vanquisher Wolf, was an elder with real power. The Ji family’s patriarch, Ji Chenggong, was a few years older than Killing Vanquisher Wolf, so naturally, he did not dare to face Killing Vanquisher Wolf as the patriarch of the Ji family.
Kill Vanquish Wolf didn’t reveal his usual warm smile. He still had a stern expression and went straight to the point. “There is no need to welcome me. I am just here to see who has the guts to hire assassins to deal with the Sha Clan’s young masters.”
“This … I have just interrogated my son, Ji Haoyue. My son cried and said that he didn’t do such a despicable thing. Brother Po Lang, do you think this is a misunderstanding?”
Ji Chenggong didn’t expect that Kill Vanquish Wolf wouldn’t give him any face. His expression turned a little unsightly as he spoke in a deep voice.
“Misunderstanding?
Someone is about to die, and you say it’s a misunderstanding?
Is it because your son said that he didn’t do it?
Is it because the Sha Clan assassinated your Ji Clansmen that you say it’s a misunderstanding?
Hmph! ”
Kill Vanquish Wolf’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and there was a trace of blood flickering in it. He questioned impolitely with a very overbearing attitude.
“Eh …”
Ji Chenggong was stunned by Kill Vanquish Wolf’s overbearing words and didn’t know how to answer for a moment. He was crying out in his heart. Kill Vanquish Wolf’s attitude clearly indicated that he was going to find trouble with the Ji Clan and wouldn’t give the Ji Clan any chance to find out the truth. He would surely take this opportunity to suppress the rapidly developing Ji Clan and obtain great benefits.
When Kill Vanquish Wolf saw that Ji Chenggong was stunned by his words, he said in a spurt of energy, “Some people want to go against the heavens and don’t take the Sha Clan seriously. Do they think they can just kill the Sha Clan’s young masters whenever they want?
If they did it in the open, they would still have the guts. However, they just had to do it in the dark. Furthermore, they even hired assassins to do it!
It seems like the Sha Thearch City needs to be reorganized. Otherwise, the Sha Clan’s members might be assassinated at any time! ”
Kill Vanquish Wolf’s words were very serious, and it nearly made Ji Chenggong fall to his knees.
Ji Chenggong’s heart was surging with waves, and he was appalled. Reorganize?
Wasn’t this clearly the Sha Clan trying to suppress the other clans?
Wasn’t the Sha Clan afraid that the eight great clans of the Sha Thearch City would join hands to deal with them?
If a war really broke out, the Sha Thearch City would be filled with rivers of blood and mountains of corpses!
I must think of a way to stop the Sha Clan from doing this!
This was Ji Chenggong’s current thought. Therefore, he said solemnly, “Brother Vanquish Wolf, our Ji Clan and Situ Clan will definitely give the Sha Clan an explanation for the assassination of Young Master Xiao Chen. We will also find out the truth of the matter, and find out who the mastermind is!
Brother Vanquish Wolf, can you give them some time? ”
“No need. The Sha Clan will deal with the matter of catching the mastermind. You two don’t need to worry about it!” Kill Vanquish Wolf rejected indifferently. Then, he turned to Kill God and said, “Kill God, listen to my command!
Immediately send a message to the Sha City Lord, and ask him to order a lockdown of the entire Sha Thearch City. Also, search for the assassins and other suspicious characters hiding in the Sha Thearch City! ”
“Yes!”
Kill God replied in a deep voice. Then, he quickly took out a signal flare, raised it high, and shot it into the dark sky.
“Boom!”
The signal projectile shot a hundred zhang high in the sky and exploded. The sound of the explosion was like a clap of thunder in the night sky. At the same time, the light from the explosion illuminated the entire Sha Di City as if it was daytime. Then, it streaked across the sky like a bolt of lightning and disappeared in a flash.
Once the signal flare was shot, the entire dark and quiet Sha Thearch City immediately exploded!
The four gates of the Sha Thearch City were immediately sealed by the guards. No one was allowed to enter or leave.
Countless guards of the Sha Clan emerged from various corners of the Sha Clan and Sha Thearch City. All of them were fully equipped, and they carried out a thorough search in the streets and alleys of the Sha Thearch City. Once they found any suspicious characters, they would immediately arrest them. If there was any resistance, they would be killed without hesitation!
The Sha Clan was not as simple as a super clan. Apart from having the clan’s strong guards, they also had an army of five thousand people. On the surface, this army of five thousand people belonged to the Qilin Kingdom, but in reality, it was completely controlled by the Sha Clan.
The Qilin Kingdom’s territory was vast and contained eighteen tribes. The Death God Tribe belonged to the Qilin Kingdom, but the Death God Tribe was located at the southernmost part of the Qilin Kingdom, close to the Great Desolate Wasteland. The mountains were high and the emperor was far away.
The Qilin Kingdom was too far away, and the Qilin Kingdom had been waging wars with the Heaven Mystics Kingdom in the east all year round. Hence, the royal clan of the Qilin Kingdom was unable to manage the Asura God Tribe. As long as the Asura God Tribe paid taxes on time every year, the Qilin Kingdom’s royal clan wouldn’t bother about the Asura God Tribe. It was because of this that the Sha Clan became the local tyrant of the Asura God Tribe, and the army under them became their private army.
“Seal the city gates?
Search the entire city?
Kill the Lord!
No!
Doing so would cause chaos in the entire Sha Di City!
The consequences are unimaginable! ”
When Ji Chenggong heard such an order from the Sha Clan, he was greatly shocked and his expression changed drastically. Even the way he addressed Sha Lacerating Wolf changed subconsciously. He thought to himself, ‘Could it be that the Sha Clan is really going to blow things out of control?
When Killing Wolf heard Ji Chenggong’s loss of composure, he sneered inwardly. However, he maintained an indifferent expression as he said, “What kind of trouble could there be?
Do you think those five thousand soldiers from the Imperial City are pushovers?
Clan Leader Ji, you should worry about whether the Ji Clan did something wrong behind the scenes. ”
“Ah?
Five thousand soldiers!
Army?
The Sha City Lord is planning to mobilize the army?
Sigh, Lord Kill, our Ji Clan admits defeat. Say it, what price do you want the Ji Clan to pay before you are willing to let us off? ”
When Ji Chenggong heard that the Sha Clan actually mobilized the army, his expression instantly turned deathly pale. His heart was filled with extreme frustration and helplessness.
The Ji Clan wouldn’t be able to deal with the Sha Clan’s black-armored knights and experts. If they were to add in the army that had incomparably powerful combat strength — if both sides were to start a war, the Ji Clan would instantly be razed to the ground by the Sha Clan without any suspense.
