In a moment of desperation, Fu Jia activated four Divine Wind Robe to cover the four people on her side. When she was about to activate the fifth Cloak of the Divine Wind to add to her employer, Mr. Ma, she suddenly felt dizzy and showed signs of insufficient mental strength. She had to stop casting and control the four Cloaks of the Divine Wind to fly away.
Fu Jia flew at high speed until her spiritual power was almost exhausted. Only then did she bring everyone down to the ground. At this moment, the four of them were already hundreds of miles away from the place where they were robbed. Fu Jia took the lead in the air and changed her position several times to prevent the group of men in black from catching up.
After landing, Ba Yong said in shock,"How, how can there be so many five-star Martial Masters?”
Ba Jian didn't have time to speak, he sat down cross-legged and started to circulate his cultivation. A faint blue light floated around his body as the Reverse Water True Force rippled on his body.
It turned out that when Ba Jian was fighting with the black-robed man, he had sacrificed himself to protect the Fu sisters, but he had suffered internal injuries. At this moment, he was using the Reverse Water True Force to treat his injuries.
Fu Jia was also using the method Shi Yue taught her to quickly recover her mental power.
Fu Li was not injured earlier. She was patrolling the surroundings and protecting everyone.
An hour later, Ba Jian's injuries had recovered. After he finished practicing, he opened his eyes and saw Ba Yong and Fu Li patrolling around. Fu Jia was sitting on a piece of rotten wood and stirring the weeds in front of her in boredom.
Ba Jian stood up and said to the three of them,""Those hundreds of black-robed martial masters have unknown origins, but they are extremely powerful and ruthless. In my opinion, we need to report to the Radiant Branch and ask them to subdue those bloodthirsty people.”
"That's the way it should be," Fu Li said.
After that, the four of them identified their location and rushed towards Minzhou City, which was the closest to them.
Minzhou was not far from here. After half a day, they arrived.
However, the originally bustling town was now dead silent. The four of them looked at each other and felt an inexplicable fear in their hearts.
The four of them entered Minzhou. As soon as they passed through the city gate, they were stunned on the spot. The Fu sisters even vomited.
It turned out that there were countless charred houses in Minzhou City, corpses strewn all over the ground, rivers of blood flowing everywhere, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of corpses and charred air. It was a scene that was as tragic as hell.
At this moment, on the outskirts of Minzhou City, a group of escort carriages were rapidly shuttling through the dense forest.
On one of the carriages, a young man yawned as he lifted the curtain and said to his employer,""Leader Zhao, with our speed, we might be able to reach Zhenhu by noon tomorrow. Since we have plenty of time, why don't we rest in the next town? As you can see, when we passed by Minzhou City, we didn't go to the city to rest.”
The escort team was from the Prideful Sky Bodyguard Agency, and the young man in the carriage was naturally the young master of the Prideful Sky Bodyguard Agency, Guo Litian. He was the only escort in the world who rode a carriage to protect the escort other than the Taoist Master. It was also a strange story.
When Zhao heard this, he was dissatisfied and said,""No, just in case, we have to get to Zhenhu as soon as possible. Otherwise, who would be responsible for the delay of the merchant ship?”As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to a man riding a donkey at the end of the escort team and shouted,"Brother Shi Yang, let's work harder, what do you think?”
Shi Yang rode on his donkey and brought up the rear of the escort team. When he heard Leader Zhao's instructions, he immediately replied loudly,"Yes." He shouted at the girl who was leading the way in front of the escort team,"Ying 'er, Leader Zhao has instructed us to work harder.”
That young lady was the Universe Earth Martial Master, Kang Ying. When she heard Shi Yang's words, she did not reply and just whipped the donkey's butt. The donkey cried out in pain and quickened its pace.
A few years ago, Guo Litian had been secretly in love with Kang Ying, but no matter what he did, Kang Ying had always been lukewarm to him. As time passed, Guo Litian lost his patience and turned to other things.
Shi Yangyin often asked Kang Ying for advice on martial arts, so the two often gathered together. As time passed, it was reasonable for the two of them to develop feelings for each other.
Shi Yang hesitated for a long time before he finally made up his mind. He took advantage of the time when the two of them were alone to reveal his feelings to Kang Ying.
However, Kang Ying was concerned about the restoration of Cao Yun, so she used this as an excuse to refuse Shi Yang.
Shi Yang's hands and feet had been disabled since he was a child. He often felt inferior, but later, he used arrogance to cover up his inferiority. He had already mustered up all his courage to confess to Kang Ying, but she rejected him personally. Apart from feeling disappointed, he felt ashamed and embarrassed.
However, ever since then, whenever Shi Yang had any contact with his female employer or female companions, Kang Ying would get angry for some reason. Although Shi Yang did not know whether to laugh or cry at her actions, he felt a little comforted.
At this moment, the group of people rode their horses at full speed. Even after night fell, they did not rest at all. Instead, they hurried on their way.
After speeding along the way, the group finally arrived at Zhenhu the next morning.
Beside the lake, there was a wide riverbank wharf, which was one of the main hub for transporting goods by water. However, today's Zhenhu was different from the past. Usually, at this time, the entire lake would be crowded with people and boats. The boatmen's busy voices and the merchants 'shouts would be heard. Today, the entire lake was terrifyingly quiet. Other than the sound of the river, there was nothing else.
Shi Yang and Kang Ying looked at each other and saw the bewilderment in each other's eyes. The two of them used their True Qi at the same time and were on full alert.
Shi Yang's Fire True Force had been refined several years ago, and now it had unexpectedly improved again. Its color had turned from light red to crimson red. Kang Ying's Universe Earth True Force was still light yellow.
Shi Kang exchanged glances with Shi Yang. Shi Yang used the Sky-Ascending Fire and sped into the city. Kang Ying left the escort team behind to protect everyone.
After a short while, Shi Yang returned.
He flew to the front of the crowd and put away the Sky-Ascending Fire. Then, he turned around in the air. When he landed, he slightly extended his left foot, which had an old ailment, and bent his right foot to dissipate the falling force.
"How is it in the city?" Kang Ying could not help but ask when she saw Shi Yang's anger.
Shi Yang's muscles tensed up. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice,"The city of Zhenhu has been massacred.”
Everyone was shocked.
"Could it be that even the Zhenhu branch of the Light Sect is not spared?" Guo Litian asked. The branch leader of Zhenhu, Mei Pinhua, was the Gale Heavenly Master. Did she die too?”
The Celestial Master being killed was too unbelievable, so he asked this question.
"Ever since you met Big Brother Shi, have you heard him spout nonsense?" Kang Ying asked unhappily.”
Shi Yang heard the anger in Kang Ying's tone, so he signaled Kang Ying not to talk too much. Then, he said to Leader Zhao,"Leader Zhao, according to the rules, we have already escorted you and the escort carriage safely to the lake.”
When the Zhao Family Head learned about the massacre in Zhen Hu, his mind was muddled. He would nod his head whenever Shi Yang said something.
Shi Yang asked for a token from Leader Zhao when he saw Leader Zhao nod his head. This token was the mark of the escort's completion of the escort mission. The escort could use it to go to the Illuminati to receive the reward for the escort.
After Shi Yang received the token, he entered Zhenghu City with Kang Ying and Guo Litian. They searched carefully again, but there were no survivors. Even the Radiant Branch was slaughtered.
After the three of them confirmed that there were no survivors, Shi Yang brought Kang Guo and the other two back.
"Why did you bring Guo Litian and me to Zhenhu to investigate again?" Kang Ying asked Shi Yang privately. Do you think I can't trust you?"
"Why do you have to do this between us?" Shi Yang shook his head. However, Guo Litian is Uncle Guo's son after all. With his own eyes, our report to Escort Leader Xia will carry more weight.”
Kang Ying seemed to understand and wanted to ask more, but she saw that Shi Yang's face was filled with anger. She hesitated for a moment but did not say anything.
The three of them didn't know that the Xiaying City where the Proud Sky Bodyguard Agency was located had also been reduced to ruins. The people in the city, including the Radiant Branch and the Proud Sky Bodyguard Agency, were all dead.
At this moment, hundreds of men in black were lined up neatly outside the ruined city of Xiaying. One of them stood in front of the team and shouted in exasperation,"Idiot! What did I tell you before I gave the order? What? I actually lost 20 people in taking down this small Dusk Shadow City!”
In the front row of the square team, a man carefully replied,""Your Royal Highness, it is normal for our army to suffer some losses when hunting Da Duo. Moreover, we have gained quite a lot this time. Your Highness, please take a look. We don't have many storage crystals left, and those girls in the city are even better.”
It was fine if that person did not speak, but when he said this, the person called the prince immediately flew into a rage and shouted,"Are you a stupid pig? What? Imperial brother had only led a thousand troops back then, losing twenty people was indeed reasonable. How many people did I bring? What? Two thousand! Two thousand people!"
It turned out that this group of people was the Hunting Vanguard Army from the Arctic State.
Two years ago, the King of the Ice Wind Kingdom, Wang Shuoshi, died of a serious illness. His eldest son, Wang Zhentian, succeeded the throne, and his second son, Wang Yichuan, was made a Prince.
As a prince, Wang Yichuan was 16 years old this year and was just about to become an adult. Thus, he sneaked into Da Duo to hunt and complete his coming-of-age ceremony.
The person who spoke up earlier was scolded by Wang Yichuan and muttered in his heart,""It was you who heard that there were as many beauties as clouds in the country of Da Duo. That was why you ignored the dissuasion and forcefully led two thousand men to capture beautiful women for your enjoyment. Who can you blame for this?”However, he smiled apologetically." Your Highness, please calm down. The Emperor did not do such a shocking thing as 'massacring a city'. The Prince Palace…"
Before he could finish, Wang Yichuan interrupted him,""Get lost, get lost! If the next time you let your brothers suffer casualties and disturb this prince's mood while doing things in bed, be careful that this prince will take your dog life!”
Only now did everyone understand why the prince was so angry.
"Let's go!" With Wang Yichuan's order, everyone set off for the next town, Lanshan City.
A few days later, Shi Yang, Kang Ying, and Guo Litian returned to the Sunset Shadow City. They were stunned by the tragic scene of the city being destroyed.
