The next morning, the sky was clear.
The streets of Xinzheng were bustling with gongs and drums. Warriors in pitch-black armor were charging towards the suburbs with sharp spears in their hands.
Wherever it passed, smoke and dust filled the air, and the air was filled with a murderous aura.
In particular, at the front of the team was a muscular young man dressed in blue and white riding a warhorse. On his back was a tough brown bow and a quiver filled with arrows. Coupled with a wide sword at his waist, he looked mighty and domineering.
His name was Han Qian Cheng, the adopted son of Han Country's fourth young master. He was also a master archer in Han Yu's residence. His martial arts skills were outstanding, and he had the title of piercing a Yang with a hundred steps.
At this moment, he led the army to the outskirts of the city. His goal was to clean up the corpses and investigate the case of the annihilation of the Poisonous Scorpion Sect.
When he arrived at the crime scene of the Poisonous Scorpion Gate, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
As far as the eye could see, there were corpses lying in pools of blood. The cause of death was a sword to the throat.
Blood flowed like a river and gathered in the low-lying area, emitting a nauseating smell of blood. Minced meat covered the ground, and it was sticky when one stepped on it.
In front of his mansion, there was a corpse that had been cut into pieces. Its neck was hung in the air by a rope.
The corpse was none other than the leader of the Scorpion Sect, Poison Scorpion.
This scene was like purgatory on earth. It was extremely bloody. Everyone's eyes were red and their hearts fell into shock.
"This…this…who did this? Thousands of people had been killed in a single night. How was this done?”
"That's right. The leader of the Poisonous Scorpion Sect was an expert at the Advanced Stage of the Spiritual Martial Realm. How could he be tortured to death? That's too cruel."
"Humph! They died a cruel death. Didn't they think about what kind of organization the Poisonous Scorpion Sect was? Often assassinating, and thus offending people…In my opinion, it's a good death!”
Unbeknownst to them, as they discussed, Han Qiancheng's eyes revealed a strange look. His expression was complicated and fearful, but…in the blink of an eye, he waved his hand." Go inside and search. See if there are any clues left behind."”
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
…………………………
Blood-clothed Fort.
In the study room of the Blood Robed Marquis.
A flirtatious young man wearing a black and red robe, a simple crown, and a white belt stood in front of several rows of chimes. Coupled with his pale face, his evil charm was fully displayed.
He was none other than the master of the Blood-robed Marquis, Bai Yifei.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with monstrous anger. He gripped the bell hammer tightly and suddenly knocked on the chime bell. He shouted in a low voice," Damn it."”
Boom...
The chime bell made a deafening sound and shattered, splashing on the floor.
Puchi...
The next moment, he spat out a mouthful of blood, which fell on the broken pieces of the chime bell. It was very eye-catching. Then, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve." Don't let me find out who it is…Otherwise, I'll make you die without a burial place."”
Yesterday, he was ambushed during his cultivation. Not only did he faint, but he was also seriously injured by the backlash of his true energy. Moreover, his sword was taken away.
This was simply grabbing his neck and slapping his mouth. Thinking of this, his face burned with pain. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
This humiliation would definitely be washed in blood!
"Someone…investigate…find out who has been entering and leaving the country recently.”
His voice was heart-wrenching and filled with killing intent.
…………………………
Within Han Country, Princess Red Lotus's sudden marriage, the extermination of a first-rate assassin organization, and the theft of the Blood Robed Hou Pei Sword. This series of shocking events had quietly broken the calm " lake surface " of Han Country for a long time. Waves rippled and undercurrents surged!
Qin Mu, who was the main culprit behind all of this, was still in Purple Orchid Pavilion, listening to the news that Dugu Qiubai had obtained.
"Senior Sword Demon, are you saying…Poison Scorpion didn't give the order to assassinate me?”Qin Mu took a sip of tea and asked.
In response, Dugu Qiubai nodded and replied coldly," That's right. Looking at the other party's desperate eyes, he didn't lie.”
When Qin Mu heard that, he rubbed his chin and laughed with interest." This is very interesting... Poison Scorpion hasn't given the order yet, and there's actually someone coming to assassinate me? Then, someone must have bribed his disciples…It seems that someone else wants my life!”
His voice was mixed with curiosity, playfulness, and killing intent.
He had just arrived in Han Country and had not interacted with any forces, let alone become enemies.
Then…there was only one other possibility!
That was, his marriage with Princess Red Lotus, presumably…this must have touched on the other party's interest chain.
Moreover, he knew that this marriage would definitely be a royal family.
Who could it be?
In that case, he could only filter and investigate them one by one!
After figuring out the reason, he summoned Violet Maiden and asked him to investigate all kinds of information about Princess Red Lotus and the connections of the princes.
Violet Maiden didn't ask for the reason and readily agreed.
Furthermore, Violet Maiden also told Qin Mu... that the two swords had been handed over to the farmer's Hidden Dragon Palace for auction. After the transaction was completed, the money they earned would be sent over.
After Qin Mu learned of this, he couldn't help but praise Violet Maiden's efficiency.
After Violet Maiden left, Qin Mu raised his head to look at Dugu Qiubai and teased him," Who do you think wants to kill me?”
"I don't know!" Dugu Qiubai shook his head. Then, a strong sword intent and killing intent surged out of his body." No matter who it is, kill them all!”
His voice was loud and powerful.
Little did he know that the moment he finished speaking, the system's voice rang out in Qin Mu's mind.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering a mission. Please check.”
Immediately after, a huge system mission screen appeared in front of him.
[Mission: The Way of a Gentleman-Blood for Blood]
[Description: Find the person behind the assassination of the host and kill him!]
[Duration: 1 week]
[Mission Reward: Emperor Treasure Chest]
At the bottom right corner of the system, there were a few red words: [Do you accept?]
Qin Mu didn't hesitate to accept the mission.
He remembered that he had obtained the god-ranked cultivation technique, Dragon God Technique, the god-ranked attendant, Sword Demon, and all sorts of rare herbs that could increase qi from treasure chests.
Now, he had no resistance when faced with such a generous reward.
Moreover, even if he did not trigger the system mission, he still had to find the real mastermind and teach him a bloody lesson.
His personality was the same!
Mercy to the enemy was the greatest cruelty to oneself.
In this chaotic world, only those who were ruthless and decisive could go further and live longer…Of course, this also involved the ability to strategize.
This was the only way to survive!
