73 Massacre In All Directions (1/2)
Jun Zhan Tian’s resolve was steely and his entire being was radiating with murderous intent. He left the military stage and headed towards his horse. There were a few places that he wanted to go to, where he must personally witness it burning to the ground. Only then would he be able to comfort his grandson’s ‘soul in Heaven’!
Suddenly, a chunk of the dark night moved and a figure that seemed even darker than the night materialized out of nowhere. Even though this figure was standing right before them, no one was able to discern the features on its face.
”Shadow? Why are you here? Did His Majesty send you?” Jun Zhan Tian raised his head and asked.
”This is a gift from His Majesty,” Shadow raised his hand and a piece of white paper floated towards Jun Zhan Tian. A smile seemed to appear on the blurred face and he had a peculiar and terrifying voice. The voice transformed into an invisible thread, which crept into Jun Zhan Tian’s ears. ”His Majesty said that your grandson should still be alive! His Majesty also wanted me to tell you this word: Moderation!”
The voice of the shadow emphasized specifically on the word ”moderation”. His voice was hoarse and seemed to be laced with unwillingness, as though he was not accustomed to speaking so much.
”Mo Xie is alive?” Jun Zhan Tian was elated as he suddenly remembered the person he had entrusted Mo Xie with: Is it possible that he had saved my grandson? Jun Zhan Tian took a step forward and asked anxiously, ”Shadow, is my grandson’s injury severe?”
Shadow had already turned around and was ready to leave as if he did not want to stay any longer. Even though the person before him was the most powerful general within the military forces, he was not interested in lingering any longer then he needed to. Upon hearing Jun Zhan Tian’s question, he reluctantly answered, ”Still alive, heavily injured!” Shadow shook his head as his spoke and gazed at Jun Wu Yi who was beside Jun Zhan Tian. He huffed and was gone in the next instant.
The spark of hope that had started to kindle within Jun Zhan Tian was immediately extinguished as if a pot of cold water had been poured over him! Jun Zhan Tian was paralyzed with shock. Shadow seemed to be sending a message when he gazed at Jun Wu Yi like that - Even though Jun Mo Xie would not die from his injuries, his condition would not be any better than Jun Wu Yi.
Jun Zhan Tian’s emotionless heart had just begun to turn warm again, but was now frigid cold! Is the only heir of my Jun Family going to end up a cripple? The thought swirled continuously around Jun Zhan Tian’s mind, as he became extremely enraged!
If he was correct, those who would always go against his grandson were the Meng and Li Families!
F*ck your grannies! I don’t care if you people have anything to do with today’s events! I will kill all of you! Consider today your unlucky day!
Jun Zhan Tian let out a stream of expletives in his heart. He jumped up onto his horse, gritted his teeth and cried out, ”Soldiers, follow me! We are going on a raid!”
… Shadow had not intended to send that kind of ‘message’ to Grandpa Jun when he glanced at Jun Wu Yi. He had a different reason altogether in his mind…
The night was bound to become a bloody one!
Jun Zhan Tian’s furor would encase the entire empire in a torrent of blood!
In the empire, warhorses were seen galloping to and fro. One by one, the residences of numerous high-ranking officials were set on fire. The sound of weapons clashing and people screaming miserably filled the air.
Before Shadow had appeared, countless of men clad in black had already started to move about in the darkness. Like ghosts, they infiltrated the residences of court officials…
Some of the residences did not even have the chance to resist, and the officials fell helplessly before their swords, splattering blood all over…
