Chapter 255 (1/2)

Regarding the Vermillion Empire, this empire did not have an inch of their territory connected to the border of the Ba Shu Country. It was located on the northeast side of the Great Luo. And the Ba Shu Country was located on the southwest. These two were in completely different places. Perhaps, the Vermillion Empire could send elite spies, but they would never send a large force to camp in the Green Jade Mountain. It was impossible for a few thousand soldiers to cross the vast region of the Great Luo undetected.

Additionally, the fight for the Green Jade Mountain was between the Great Luo and the Heavenly Lake Empire and had no relation to the Vermillion Empire. There weren’t any possibilities for the Vermillion to take over the Green Jade Mountain because of the long distance.

Qin Wushuang was curious, what were the Heavenly Lake Empire scheming?

Why did they murder those innocent civilians from the Purple Cloud Town? If they only did it as a show of their power, it did not make sense.

Qin Wushuang decided to take the risk and conduct a thorough investigation. Regardless, he must uncover the secret.

Qin Wushuang used his concealing technique to evade those sentries. After about fifteen minutes, indeed, he saw a cave behind the lush forest. That cave showed an open entrance and by looking from afar, Qin Wushuang knew that it was impossible to conceal himself and sneak into the cave.

Unless he knew technique to go invisible .

Now, he was somewhat envious of that man in grey robes. Inwardly, he thought if he only he could learn his technique of digging through the underground, it would be easy for him to approach that cave.

He hid in the corner and observed a while. Then, Qin Wushuang decided to take a risk. He subsequently took the clothes off that guard he had killed and put it on. After some checking himself and ensuring there were no flaws in his disguise, he walked out from the dark corner. Next, he ran towards that cave.

When he approached the cave, indeed, a large group of guards at the entrance stopped him.

”Which team are you from? Why did you come here on your own?”

”I am the outer perimeter sentry, I have important information to report.”

”What information?” A captain like leader walked up and interrogated.

”The perimeter information shows that a large group of elite warriors from the Great Luo has arrived at the Purple Cloud Town. And there are other important information in which I must tell them myself.” Qin Wushuang was also being careful. He also didn’t know who were the leaders.

Fortunately, that captain did not appear suspicious as he said: ”Wait here, I am going to report.”

After a while, that captain walked out and shouted: ”Follow me, don’t go anywhere by yourself.”

Feeling overjoyed inwardly, Qin Wushuang followed him. Currently, he felt akin to someone entering a dangerous tiger’s den.

After entering the cave, Qin Wushuang found this cave’s interior to be complicated and had many turns. After pa.s.sing a few narrow roads, suddenly, the s.p.a.ce opened up before him.

The inside of this cave appeared to be a completely different world.

A giant natural pit appeared in his sights. The inside of the natural pit only had dense fog and shackles. And man-made fences surrounded the pit as large groups of people gathered around it. One of the groups were apparently the leaders as they stood on the highest platform besides the fence and were engaged in discussion.

”Go!”

Qin Wushuang could tell from one look that each of those people were Upper Sky warriors. Among them, there were few Middle Stage elite warriors!

Qin Wushuang drew a breath of cold air. Indeed, such strength and formation had left him shocked. However, since he was already here, he could not retreat. Thus, he walked up with a steady pace.

”It’s my honor to meet with you all.” Qin Wushuang appeared to show fear and trepidation.

”Elite warriors from the Great Luo Empire have come? Was this information sent from Mr. Chen?”

”Honorable Sirs, there were traces of battle outside the Green Jade Mountain and a body of the Spiritual Battle Wolf was found…” Qin Wushuang probed.

”What?” One of the man in gold robe raised his brow, ”Spiritual Battle Wolf? Could it be Little Wind?”

”Impossible? Little Wind is Elder Chen’s buddy. If something happened to him, then perhaps Elder Chen…” Another person said with shock.

Then, another person looked at that man in gold robes: ”Elder Lü, if something has happened to Elder Chen, surely they must be elite warriors from the Stargaze Palace! What should we do?”

The man in gold robes said in a low voice: ”A Palace Master? Impossible! The Five Palace Masters from the Stargaze Palace would never go out so easily. With the reaction speed, the news should not have spread to the Stargaze this quickly. And the Stargaze would not have been able to send people this swiftly. It has been only less than ten days since the ma.s.sacre of the Purple Cloud Town occurred. We are in the New Year, the news would take three or four days to reach the imperial capital of the Ba Shu Country. To reach the ears of the Stargaze Palace, it would take at least ten days. In total, those people would not have arrived here within twenty days!”

”Then, what happened to Elder Chen’s contract beast, the Wind Wolf?”
