C61 (1/2)
Outside of the mountain, Jun Linyue was anxiously waiting. Logically speaking, even if they failed, the two of them should already have a message for each other. Could it be that they were killed? Could it be that they didn't even have time to release fireworks?
Just then, someone suddenly shouted in a low voice, ”Look! fireworks! fireworks! ”
Everyone raised their heads at the same time, only to see two bouquets of fireworks simultaneously intertwining with each other as they flew into the sky. Finally, they exploded in the air and released two bouquets of fireworks.
When Jun Lanyue saw this, he immediately called out a hundred times and ignited his torches, standing up from the river bank. He quickly crossed the river, passing through the ruins of the border city, and headed straight for San Feng Mountain. The main attack this time didn't have many people, because it was at night. Jun Lanyue was confident that he could defeat the Nether Sect thoroughly without leaving a single one alive.
But was the truth as Jun Lanyue had imagined? According to his own plan, Zhao Lin and Sun Qi ought to have completed their mission a long time ago. Even if they were to be found by the Sect Leader, it was time to leave the envelope behind and get out.
However, since both fireworks had been released, he might as well trust them once.
The more Jun Lin thought about it, the more his pace of attack quickened. If this time he succeeded in exterminating the Nether Sect, then perhaps the small Black Tortoise Mansion would not be able to accommodate him. Perhaps, he might even receive an important position from the Human Emperor in the Great Yang. When that happened, he would trample on all the people that the Black Tortoise dukedom had bullied him.
Thinking of this, he had already arrived at the foot of the third mountain. But there was no one around. There were no guards in front of the main mountain either.
This caused Jun Lin to become even more suspicious. He immediately ordered the extermination of all the torches and hid on the spot.
The leader of the Holy Scale Guards asked curiously, ”Master Hou, why aren't you attacking?”
”I feel that something is amiss, it's better to be on guard. ”You go up the mountain and ask around. Wait, if there's any news, both of you in the districts will report it immediately!”
”Yes sir!” The two of them immediately disappeared into the night.
This day's moonlight was sad and hazy, emitting a faint melancholy light, like a light veil, covering the earth. In the autumn night sky, the starlight was bleak. There were a few of the brightest stars that lit up the night sky. From time to time, clouds would drift across the sky, blotting out the moon. However, after the clouds had passed, the moon suddenly shone as bright as day, causing everyone to jump in fright.
Jun Lin Yue indicated for everyone to speak in a low voice, as he used his mystical Qi to sense the movements in the surroundings. This was truly out of the ordinary, they weren't even able to feel the movements of Zhao Lin and Sun Qi. With Jun Linyue's current cultivation level, he could see more than half of the entire mountain. This was too strange.
At that moment, the soldier on the hill was covered in blood and rolling down in fear. Everyone quickly pulled him up.
”What's wrong? What's going on over there? ” After he finished speaking, this person had already died.
At this time, the leader of the Holy Scale Guards also miserably tumbled down, facing the night sky on the mountain road, his trembling voice saying, ”Too, too terrifying …”
Following the direction of their fingers, a rumbling sound could be heard, as if something was rolling on the ground. Suddenly, two round objects crashed into each other, giving everyone a fright.
At this moment, Jun Lin Yue had a torch lit up by someone, and after it was lit up, his nerves tensed up as he took a step back and said furiously, ”Zhao Lin! ”Sun Qi!”
It was unknown when, but these two had already been killed. There was actually no sound at all. Jun Linyue sucked in a breath of cold air, certain that there was a peerless expert within this mountain. In the midst of all this confusion, he threw away the torch. The others were trembling in fear as they hid in the grass.
