Chapter 740 - A Misfortune (2/2)

Blood?

Everyone was shocked, and a bad feeling arose spontaneously.

A few of them ran over and examined the ground carefully, concluding that it was indeed human blood. Following the trace of the blood for a dozen meters, they discovered two men lying in the bushes with blood oozing out of their mouth and nose. Their faces were pale.

“It’s Junior Brother Sung and Junior Brother Lee!”

The six people of Ziyue Cave Heaven rushed there in the shortest possible time.

A man checked their breathing and pulses, then he got up and shook his head at Zuo Xiangming, declaring in great sadness, “They…are dead.”

Zuo Xiangming squatted down and checked where the fatal injuries were. He finally discovered that both of their chests had a pitch-black palm. His eyes widened and shouted, “It’s Wind Cloud Palm. It must be Xiang Qing the traitor!”

Xiang Qing?

The other five all looked shocked as Xiang Qing used to be part of Ziyue Cave Heaven, but he was expelled by the master due to his monstrous deed of raping a girl beneath the mountain. Their master also scrapped half of his cultivation progress. Since then, he had hated Ziyue Cave Heaven to the core and had created the Black Blood Mercenary Corps, which was a group of villains who only commit harmful crimes. He must have known that their master was seriously sick now, so he took advantage of it and attacked them.

“What the hell! He’s merciless! He had shattered all of the internal organs with one palm!” Duck Emperor examined the bodies and was shocked.

Xiao Luo did not waste more time and flew towards the mountain peak. He must use the transmitting formation, and it would be a big problem for him if the master of Ziyue Cave Heaven was killed.

“You rascal, wait for me!”

Duck Emperor flapped its wings and caught up with him immediately. He also turned to Zuo Xiangming and the rest and said, “Youngsters, come along quickly. If you are late, you would miss all the good shows.”

The six of them were deeply grieved and could not appreciate Duck Emperor’s joke. Two of them stayed to prevent any kind of beasts and insects from tampering with the bodies of Junior Brother Sung and Junior Brother Lee. Zuo Xiangming then led the other three people to rush to the mountain peak.

At the peak of the mountain, there was a variety of buildings including high lofts, a fine tower, a pearly palace, and also a zen-themed residence.

Within the main palace, some 600 Ziyue Cave Heaven disciples were tied up and controlled by a bunch of burly dudes with swords and bows. More than a dozen of the elders were grievously wounded, too, as they all sat at one corner. There was blood on everyone’s mouth.

A big man was sitting on the high seat of the clan master.

That man only showed his right eye as his left eye seemed to be blind and covered with a black eye-patch. He rested his right leg on the clean seat, and his entire body was almost leaning on the seat. He just finished reading the letter brought by the falcon courier from the vice captain.

“What kind of nonsense was he talking about? Even the old man of Ziyue Cave Heaven had become my prisoner now. Was he actually suggesting that there is a man who’s stronger than the old man in this land? Did a donkey kick his already stupid brain or something?” Xiang Qing passed the letter to one of his trusted men as he cursed.

That man looked at the letter and reacted indifferently, too. “The entire Ziyue Cave Heaven was taken by the Black Blood Mercenary Corps, and he’s actually asking you to retreat. The vice captain’s probably out of his wits.”

“Ignore him!”

Xiang Qing sat up from the seat, and his vicious sight fell on an elder not far away. He smirked. “Master, have you ever thought of an instance like today when you expelled me out of Ziyue Cave Heaven? Are you regretting that you did not scrap all of my cultivation progress away?”
