14 After the Killing (1/2)
Hill of the Fallen.
Three young men were running towards a place in the Hill.
”Where's the Spiritual Trace? Damn it, that Wang Xue actually had the guts to kill Zi Shuang and Yu Da-Xia!? Does he not dear of having the entire Jade Province as his opponent?” A man wearing a uniform of the Boulder Sect said.
”Shut up, we're almost there. The Spiritual Trace only lasts for 12 hours and we already missed 2 hours by checking with the Nine Flower Valley about that bitch.” Another man said with his brows furrowed, he then took one look at the young man in front of him and whispered under his breathe ”This is all your fault.”
The young man in front of him didn't stop but he was able to hear him clearly, with his back still turned he answered ”I know it's my fault senior brother Meng, but I will kill that Wang Xue for doing this.”
The other young man snorted and said ”You better do it, the name of the Boulder Sect depends on it whether you go avenge Zi Shuang or not will have a significant effect on your name.”
The other young man said nothing back, this young man leading the group was Dongfang Qianyin one of the greatest genius from the Boulder Sect, however, in just one day his reputation had suddenly gone down and the way how the disciples of the Boulder Sect saw him went down.
The fact that he let a fellow disciple from his sect get taken as a hostage made him a laughingstock, but he was already implementing a plan to get back Zi Shuang from Wang Xue but before he could even start the first phase of his plans he learned that Zi Shuang was already dead and he was tasked to clean the mess that he had created himself.
Dongfang Qianyin looked calm and had the same look on his pretty face, but inside his heart, the raging flames of fury were vehemently burning, 'Wang Xue! I will kill you one day, it may not bring back what I lost but it will be satisfying to torture and see you dead.'
This is the first time that he had felt this much anger for someone before. Being a genius young master of the prestigious Dongfang Family Dongfang Qianyin was only revered and envied by the people and if someone rubbed him the wrong way he can just kill him with a wave of his hand without anyone saying anything to him, it could be said that the heavens were forging a path of greatness for him.
But the sudden appearance of Wang Xue stopped this way of thinking of his. Dongfang Qianying felt humiliated, now he wanted to catch Wang Xue not for Zi Shuang but for himself because in his heart he felt that if he cannot kill Wang Xue with his own hands, his heart will not be appeased and his cultivation will become harder in the future.
”Where here!” Dongfang Qianyin said the three of them was on the very top of the Hill of the Fallen and there they saw the Spiritual Trace that came from ZI Shuang's headless corpse. The head wasn't attached to his body anymore but they didn't have to look for it at all as the Zi Shuang's head was near the lifeless body of Yu Da-Xia.
”How cruel, this is too cruel and brutal. Look at their faces, they must've experienced some form of torture before dying.” The man named brother Meng said as he tried not to throw up at the scene in front of him.
The three of them had seen a fair share of a bloody image, but the horrendous sight presented before them was nothing like they had ever seen in their entire life.
Swoosh!
A group of three people consisting of all women appeared like the wind, the three came from the opposite direction as they did and their articles of clothing were the uniform of the Nine Flower Valley, although all of them wore different colors of clothes the insignia embroidery on the chest area was clear of their sect.
”Da-Xia!!!” a woman's voice rang in the Hill of the Fallen the moment she saw Yu Da-Xia's body cut into two the woman ran over to check if what she was seeing was not an illusion.
Dongfang Qianyin and the two behind him knew this woman all too well, Si Niang, it was Si Niang of the Nine Flower Valley. She checked the horrified look that Yu Da-Xia had on her face just right before she died and a single tear fell down to her cheeks.
She was closed to Yu Da-Xia as the two of them had the same master Si Niang treated Yu Da-Xia as her little sister and seeing her sister dying like this made her heart broken but that single tear was the only tear she let out.
Taking out a white cloth from her storage bracelet Si Niang picked up Yu Da-Xia's body from the ground, she then turn to looked at Dongfang Qianyin that she had ignored and said ”This is all your fault, if you had not given him the chance to take them Da-Xia and Zi Shuang should be alive, if you could've helped me instead of acting all lofty.”
Saying those words Si Niang walked out of there, the two women that she came with followed closely behind her and gave Dongfang Qianyin a look of despising before going away. Si Niang and her group started to head back on the Nine Flower Valley,
The path that Dongfang Qianyin's group used earlier lead back to Nine Flower Valley, they went there to check if Yu Da-Xia also died before going here and SI Niang was also the same as them. Dongfang Qianyin saw Si Niang left and seeing her actions he also didn't dally and took out a piece of cloth from his storage bracelet.
He used that piece of cloth to wrap ZI Shuang's body and started to head on their way. 'A conflict may arise between Nine Flower Valley and Boulder Sect.' Dongfang Qianyin thought.
The possible conflict that may arise between the two great sects all started from his mistake. Dongfang Qianyin's position was getting worse by the minute.
'I must get his head before this event starts affecting my position in the Clan.' With that thought, he and his group went towards the direction where Si Niang's group came from.
