Chapter 462 Decapitation (2/2)

The subconscious movements of these people betrayed the activity that were going on inside their mind. Not only that, Shen Lian could also sense the will of the people. Within the ten people, there was two who accepted Chen Qing.

This could be considered not bad. It was also enough to see that the Chen family had bestowed profound bounties towards Xi Liang City. Only then there would be these people who refused to forget about their old master. They had even set up camp and brought their own rations.

There were also the majority of the people who warned Chen Qing against laying siege to the city. However, no matter their best effort to convince her, Chen Qing did not change her mind.

Shen Lian was riding on Black Tiger in this night and he had made a move first to Xi Liang City.

The news arrived at the inside of the city around the evening. Gao Jie was sending people to look around for Chen Qing's younger sister, Chen Yun. She had no time to investigate Chen Qing. What she did not expect was that not only did she showed up by her own initiative, she also wanted to lay siege to the city. It truly surprised and bewildered her.

Unless Chen Qing was committing reckless haste, or else she should have known that with her come storm back, it was no different than trying to crush a stone with an egg.

Gao Jie could not help but be deeply suspicious whether there were prominent families in the city that had pleaded their allegiance to Chen Qing and plotted to rebel together in secrecy.

Her current forces were actually weakened by a lot compared to before the rebellion. This was because after she had taken Xi Liang City, she still needed to search for survivors from the Chen family and even placed some prominent families under surveillance. These coupled with the losses from the siege of the city, this was the weakest moment for the Gao family.

Back then, the Gao family started out through the rebellion in the city so naturally, Gao Jie did not permit a second Gao family to appear.

She ordered her subordinates to lay out defenses throughout the city the whole night. After finishing all of this and not long before the skies brightened up, she still felt an uneasiness within her mind and she went to meet the wizard.

It should be mentioned that even though she really hated this person's guts, she still needed his help.

The wizard stayed in the residence the previous city master. Inside, a huge cauldron was burning and six infants were thrown into this cauldron alive. This caused the infants to let out painful howls as they boiled in the boiling water and they quickly died off.

The fresh smell of meat entered Gao Jie's nose. She was suffocated and was about to throw up, but she still pretended to be happy and greeted the wizard who was picking up a piece of infant flesh and he ate it.

After he finished chewing up the plump flesh inside of his mouth, he then gloomily asked, ”Did you found that person for me?”

Gao Jie was more respective than last time and answered, ”We are searching now. However, there is another major matter. It has to do whether you could capture Chen Yun.”

The wizard coldly asked, ”What is it?”

Then, Gao Jie told Chen Yun's matter to the wizard. The general meaning being that she had hoped when Chen Yun laid siege to the city, the wizard would capture her.

The wizard pondered for a while and said, ”Did you find out why she would lay siege to the city?”

Gao Jie answered, ”I did not. But my subject has met them. He said the two seemed as though they had been thoroughly reborn and they were brimming with health and spirits. I reckoned that they had an unusual encounter because I heard that there was an unusual person who once stayed in Mount Jieyang, that this person had the ability to summon the wind and rain.”

The wizard asked, ”You mean that they had gotten the help of that unusual person?”

Gao Jie answered, ”That unusual person had since left. I guess that they had the treasure items left by the unusual person.”

What she said was partially true but she knew that this one point was already enough. This was because the wizard was a greedy person.
