60 Killers Were from the House of the Chaotic Storm (2/2)
The blood guard grinned and rubbed his head, “No...”
People started laughing.
The steward carefully checked around, but found no traces. He murmured, “What kind of people could do this so cleanly? That is really illogical!”
“There are seventy bodies in total. Except for the eight guys that died in our house, all the people of the Mu Clan that entered the capital of the Kingdom of Chen are here. Not even a single one survived.”
One of the blood guards looked at one of the bodies on the floor and said, “The old man in the middle is Mu Zihe. He was the leader of the group for this trip. He was the fourth younger brother of the patriarch, and he has a high position even though he was only in the Earth Origin Stage. He died here anyway. The people who killed him must have thought nothing about leeway this time.”
“And they have done it so cleanly.” The steward sighed. He realized more and more that this thing was too complicated.
It was even possible that the Ye Clan would be blamed again..
The problem was that it truly had nothing to do with them. Even if every force of the Ye Clan got together, they would never have a chance to do such a thing. In fact, Steward Song was actually determined to die this time as long as they could chase the people of the Mu Clan down.
He knew how powerful the Mu Clan was. If the Ye Clan fought against them directly, it would be not far from an ant hitting a tree. In Steward Song’s mind, if his young master was really captured by the Mu Clan and they could catch up with them, there was still a tiny chance to rescue Ye Xiao even if it meant losing all of his people in battle.
With such a powerful force, these Mu Clan’s people were actually wiped out. How powerful would the killers have to be. To the most conservative projection, there absolutely wasn’t such a powerful force in the Kingdom of Chen!
“Look! The mountainside!”
One of the blood guards shouted.
The steward looked up and was immediately stunned.
He nearly slapped himself on the face. He had actually been worried about being framed and kept saying that it was done too cleanly.
It turned out the killers hadn’t even thought about hiding their identities. In fact, they had even gone ahead and left a message, notifying the world that it was their doing!
They hadn’t noticed the obvious words on the mountainside, because what was in front of them had been too stunning for them. The words on the mountainside were totally undisguised, but they had made the “black under the light” [1] kind of mistake - they hadn’t noticed the obvious place and made a foolish mistake.
“The Mu Clan is too arrogant, so we came and killed them on purpose; to anyone who wishes to know who did this, it was the great House of the Chaotic Storm!”
Below the words, there was a pattern of a building in the storm which was drawn intentionally with blood.
It was actually quite vivid. Obviously, after the killers wiped these people out, they actually drew a pattern here leisurely.
“This, this, this… this is so…”
A Blood guard was stunned, “It is so arrogant… This House of the Chaotic Storm… What is it?”
The steward’s face was blank, “Mind your words. Since there is no trace of our lord here, he wasn’t captured. We need to go back right away. It won’t bring any good to stay in such muddy waters.”
It could be seen from his face that he was far from relaxed; on the contrary, a deep sense of worry was plastered on his face.
[The House of the Chaotic Storm has finally showed up!
The most mysterious and terrifying force in the world.]
The steward was terrified.
When he saw the words “House of the Chaotic Storm”, he couldn’t stop his heart from beating heavily.
He was frightened! Not only was he unable to find his young master, he had even stumbled upon information about the House of the Chaotic Storm…
He felt rather upset as nothing seemed to go his way.
When they all returned home, they started to search around again. Although they had searched the whole capital, they failed to find any clues about Ye Xiao’s whereabouts.
That night, the steward wasn’t able to fall asleep.
The next day, they continued their search, yet it was still to no avail.
Not only were the people of the Ye Clan trying their best to search for Ye Xiao, Zuo Wuji and Lan Langlang also sent a lot of people to help them find Ye Xiao.
People were worried, especially Zuo Wuji. After he had brought the jade ruyi home from the auction, he had earned a title of “a prodigal who returns is more precious than gold”. That had really delighted him.
And all of this was only possible because of Ye Xiao’s help. Now that Ye Xiao was missing, how could he not be worried.
Lord Lan was also worried. He kept his eyes widely opened and searched everywhere with his men. He had been searching for a long time, but was yet to find even a single clue. It wouldn’t be long before he would completely freak out!
“Why can’t we find him!” Lan Langlang’s eyes were bloodshot as he furiously yelled, “You’re all useless garbage! Keep searching! Don’t you even miss a rat’s hole!”
“My lord, it’s the Lord Sun’s house in front…”
“Screw it! I don’t care what lord he is. Get in and search!”
“My lord, it’s the Lord Sun’s home…”
“GET IN AND SEARCH!”
“What? Who dares to stop me? BEAT HIM UP! SMASH EVERYTHING… GET IN! AH, AH, AH, AH…”
…
After searching one street, he was caught and sent back home.
Did this moron come to help searching? Or did he just come to make trouble for his own family?
