Chapter 548 - Extermination of the Hall (2/2)

Using his left hand… Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes. At this moment, he seemed to think of something. He looked again at the stone wall on the left. There were several burn-up torches hanging on them, stained with blood.

“The clue is broken, huh…” Yang Qing walked in and murmured.

Xiao Chen stood up and said slowly, “No, the clues have not been lost. They have been hidden. Sometimes, some people are anxious to hide the truth, but they… expose the only truth.”

“Do you mean that they wanted to hide the truth… but yet exposed the truth that others didn’t know?” Yang Qing frowned and asked as if he did not understand what he said.

Xiao Chen did not answer in a hurry. Instead, he looked at the person who died of infinite fear in the chair at the head of the hall and said, “He was full of fear when he died. I think he knew the identity of the murderer, but he didn’t hide in advance because no matter where he hid, he would die. He knew that he would die.”

“Brother Xiao, what do you mean…” Yang Qing still did not quite understand.

Xiao Chen still did not answer. He looked at him and asked, “Which hall is the closest to the Bluestone Hall?”

As Yang Qing heard this, his expression changed slightly, and then he thought carefully and said, “It’s the Purple Wind Hall. The Hall Master is the brother of that person.” Then he pointed to the dead man sitting on the chair in the center of the hall.

“The Bluestone Hall was destroyed three days ago, but nothing happened. Brother Yang, don’t you think it’s a little strange…”

Yang Qing’s expression changed. “You mean…”

“They wanted to hide, but they accidentally exposed the clue. It’s the Purple Wind Hall. Let’s go.”

At the moment, they quickly left the Bluestone Hall and then rushed to the Purple Wind Hall. Purple Wind Hall was slightly different from the Bluestone Hall. The location of where it was built belonged to the jurisdiction of King Shen.

By the time they arrived, it was almost noon. Xiao Chen could not be as fearless as he was when he entered the Bluestone Hall. He had to bypass the patrolling soldiers on the streets. At present, he could not attract the attention of King Shen.

Right now, the few of them quietly entered Purple Wind Hall. Similar to the Bluestone Hall, there were almost no outsiders here. However, when they entered the alley, they discovered that there were already many corpses lying on the ground.

“How… How is this possible?! This is the jurisdiction of King Shen. Can it be exterminated quietly?” Yang Qing said in surprise.

Xiao Chen said indifferently, “Have you forgotten that King Shen came to the Illusive Aroma Lane last night? It seems that these people were killed at midnight last night. At that time, King Shen happened to go to Illusive Aroma Lane.”

After saying that, Xiao Chen thought for a moment. Last night, King Shen seemed to have come to find a woman named Hua Ying, but Zi Qin said that Hua Ying was unwell, and it was inconvenient for her to see guests. King Shen could have known that, but yet he made such a big fuss deliberately.

A moment later, the six of them came to the hall of the Purple Wind Hall. As expected, the people here all died. However, unlike the Bluestone Hall, it seemed that they did not know that they would die.

“Asshole, who was it? Why does he always take one step ahead of us?” Yang Qing said, squeezing his fingers tightly.

Xiao Chen said indifferently, “No, the people of the Bluestone Hall died three days ago. We found out today, and the people of the Purple Wind Hall died last night. We discovered it today, indicating that we are catching up with them…”

Before his voice fell, a soft voice came from the back of the chair in the front of the hall. “Who is it?!” Chu Qi moved instantly. Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and said, “Chu Qi! Don’t move!” After that, he walked over in person.

Behind the chair lay a man whose face was covered in blood. The man was still breathing when he suddenly opened his eyes. Xiao Chen asked, “Who are you?”

“Hurry… hurry…” The person stuttered as he stretched out two fingers that were dripping with blood. “Ren Yuntian, they’re looking for… Ren Yuntian…”

“Who is Ren Yuntian?” Xiao Chen frowned and asked.

“Ren Yuntian is locked up in… Bloodmoon Hall… save…” After saying these words, the man finally swallowed his last breath. Xiao Chen squatted down and put his two fingers together. He pierced a white radiance into the middle of the man’s eyebrows. He tried to find some information by seance, but nothing could be found.

Xiao Chen took back his finger and said in a low voice, “They are looking for Ren Yuntian. Who are they? Is Ren Yuntian locked up in the Bloodmoon Hall? Save… save who?”

Yang Qing suddenly said, “Ren Yuntian seems to be Ren Tianxing’s half-brother. He disappeared with Ren Tianxing seven years ago. Ren Tianxing is famous, and many people know him. However, Ren Yuntian is not well-known, so many people don’t know that Ren Tianxing has a younger brother.”

“Is that so…” Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and sneered. “He disappeared seven years ago and Ren Yuntian was imprisoned in the Bloodmoon Hall. Does his disappearance have anything to do with the Black Horn?”

After that, Xiao Chen looked at the man who died just now on the ground and said lightly, “You wanted to hide the clues but left such a big clue. Did you accidentally not kill all of them or intentionally miss one…”

Yang Qing concentrated and said, “Then what are you going to do next, Brother Xiao? To save people? The Bloodmoon Hall is one of the 12 halls in the Black Horn, unlike the 72 small halls. There are top masters guarding the Bloodmoon Hall, so you can’t break in rashly.”

Xiao Chen stood up and said placidly, “We may be in trouble next.” He then turned around and looked out of the hall.
