Chapter Two Hundred and Seventy Eight – The Insane Outer Hall

Wei Cheng Bin’s mood was very good these past two days because Boss had returned. It wasn’t only him. Every person he passed on his way also had a sunny smile on their faces. It was strange. No matter if it was individual power, or skill in command, Boss wasn’t the strongest, but he was every person’s pillar of support.

The few days that Boss had been absent, every person in Golden Crow City had been very worried, like they had lost their souls.

Wei Cheng Bin knew that with Gongsun daren present, nothing would happen to Golden Crow City. But there was still a layer of darkness that uncontrollably came over his heart. Fortunately, Boss had returned, the dark cloud over their hearts had dissipated. Every person in the city believed that as long as Boss was here, any problem would be easily solved.

In this recent while, his forging skill had furiously grew, especially in forging small parts. Even Master Ji Wei would praise him occasionally. In a short amount of time, he formed an affection for this place. The forging masters he usually interacted with, especially Masters Ji Wei and Sun Bao, all were very skilled, took good care of him, and never skimped on guidance.

The only person he didn’t like interacting with was Bao Yi.

That slender bamboo stick was very miserly. It took a lot of effort to get some materials from his hands.

Even Masters Sun Bao and Ji Wei didn’t like interacting with Bao Yi so the burden had landed on his head. With no other way, he could only force himself. Each transaction was a fierce and terrible battle!

But today, Bao Yi was unusually easy-going. It seemed that even the thin bamboo stick had a good mood now that Boss was back.

In contrast to Golden Crow City’s happy mood, the faces of everyone in the Outer Hall was deathly.

“What? Huang Daren was killed?” He Xiang’s lips were trembling, his hands cold.

“The news has already spread.” The xiuzhe that found the news also had a trembling note in his voice. “Huang daren and the others went to search for a secret realm. Others schemed, and he was killed by multiple opponents.”

“Impossible!” He Xiang said sternly, “How could Huang daren be killed by many people so easily? Where’s the other people with him?”

“All … … all killed! In total, more than twenty inner sect disciples … …”

Bang, He Xiang’s legs weakened and he collapsed on the chair, his face filled with hopelessness. Every elder present had faces so pale there was no blood.

Everyone understood that the affair was too big this time. So big, they could not conceal it!

The entire Outer Hall would face the anger of the Old Forefather when it was time. No, the entire Little Mountain Jie would have to face the anger of the Old Forefather!

He Xiang suddenly achieved clarity. He seemed to have grabbed onto the last life-saving piece of grass, and suddenly stood up. “Who did it? Who did it?”

“This subordinate is still investigating … …”

“Investigating my ass!” He Xiang’s eyes were entirely red, his anger unrestrained. “If these people won’t let us live, then we won’t let them live!” He took a deep breath, and calmed his emotions, gradually calming down. He looked at the elders that had sank into hopelessness, and said with craziness, “We only have one path.”

Everyone blankly raised their heads. They really couldn’t think of a path they could take.

“We need to find the perpetrator that killed Huang daren and give them to Old Forefather as penance.” He Xiang said in a low voice “This time, whether or not our penance is acceptable will determine if we can survive!”

Many people had doubtful expressions. The matter this time was too serious. They didn’t believe that the Old Forefather would forgive them even if they found the perpetrator.

“This is our only chance!” He Xiang said crisply, and then added meaningfully. “Old Forefather will still need people to take care of affairs! If we can let Old Forefather see our abilities, the hope we can survive is greater.”

Everyone all became alert. Even though they didn’t believe it, but He Xiang was right, this was their only chance.

They had no route to escape.

The power of the Outer Hall was gathered together again. Every elder and all the xiuzhe were sent out.

He Xiang decided to use the stupidest method, moving through faction by faction. He didn’t believe that he couldn’t find the perpetrator!

Little Mountain Jie started to boil again!

———

With Silly Bird found, Zuo Mo went back to building the city. Huang Zhuo Guang was killed, the state of Little Mountain Jie would definitely become tense. There wasn’t much time left for him. Thankfully, Little Mountain Jie, while a small jie, would still take a large amount of effort to search for one person.

But Zuo Mo deeply felt he was pressed for time. He built crazily.

Pah, Zuo Mo spat out the soil from his mouth. His entire body was covered in mud, only his eyes were exposed. Looking at the finished tunnels, he had a satisfied expression. The tunnels between the city and the other six mountain peaks were finished. The remaining work was to set up formations.

What he felt the most from digging tunnels was that this thing really was something for dhyana xiu to do. Without physical strength, he definitely couldn’t have persisted. When a sword xiu was powerful, they could slice through a mountain peak with one blow, but if a sword xiu had to come dig a tunnel, it was like they were blind.

Thinking of his gigantic formation, he felt that his body was filled with inexhaustible energy. He bent his head to and kept working.

Without rest or sleep, Zuo Mo worked for more than ten days, and finished all the tunnels.

In these ten days, Little Mountain Jie had become a mess. The Outer Hall seemed to have gone crazy as they searched everywhere. They even put out a mosted wanted list. The most famous on there was Zheng Zhong of ningmai third stratum cultivation. Many others also recognized those like Liu Gui. The only one that was unknown was that black looking person at the top of the list. What people didn’t know to laugh or cry about was that there was also a bird on the ranking, a big grey bird.

Had the Outer Hall gone insane? Many people hadn’t placed any importance on the list when they first received it. However, the Outer Hall used their following actions to demonstrate that they were not joking.
