Chapter 507: Chapter 395: Under the Order of the 9th Mountain! (Requesting monthly ticket)
North City Jin Family, backyard, small building on the second floor.
The intense golden light faded.
The dim lamp flickered anew, and the twisted shadow cast on the window was gone, replaced by a bloodstained long knife!
Piercing through the blade, a shriveled human skin hung starkly!
Crimson droplets trickled down from it!
The clothes on the human skin were exactly what the "Western Regions Saintess" was wearing!
With the long knife in hand, Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow, flicked the blade aside, and grabbed the blood-soaked skin in his other hand, his eyes gleaming with golden light.
Immediately, with a burst from underfoot, the ceiling shattered with a crash, and the next moment his figure appeared above the courtyard, his gaze ablaze.
Rapidly surveying the courtyard, he then looked down at the bloody skin in his hand, a fierce glint flickering in his eyes.
Holy Sect!
Saintess!
Monster cloaked in human skin!
These are the people An Ge mentioned at Tianxiong Pass, discovering the Divine Ruins of the Western Regions Holy Sect.
And this self-proclaimed "Saintess", the martial soul residing within her body, seemed exactly what An Ge called "the monster"!
This thing seemed to be the power they found from the Divine Ruins!
Upon first encounter, it was bizarre and tricky; even now he wasn’t sure if he had truly killed this person.
Even though the incense mark had lost its lock!
This uncertainty felt like a thorn in Chen Yuan’s throat, a choking splinter.
Flames danced in his eyes as he clenched a hand, igniting a blaze that burned the blood-soaked skin clean, the foul stench of decay wafting away with a flick of his sleeve.
Then, with hands behind his back, Chen Yuan scanned the courtyard in the night, pondering the words of that indistinct figure.
Was Beiliang linked with the Western Regions Holy Sect?
Was the Heir involved in this incident?
Moreover, where had the Beiliang group disappeared to?
Chen Yuan’s thoughts turned, finally his gaze resting on the disturbed front courtyard, revealing a look of discontent.
......
"Rumbling"
"Rumbling"
"Get up"
"Get up"
"..."
"By the order of the Ninth Mountain, we seal off the Jin Family; the Jin Family is suspected of colluding with cults, all personnel are detained for trial in the imperial prison. Any resistance will be killed without mercy!"
Soon after, in the snowy and windy night, thundering hooves galloped towards the Jin Family of North City.
Then came a stern and chilling shout from outside the Jin Family.
As the words fell, there was a loud bang.
The vermillion gate of the Jin Family slammed open, followed by the clamor of troops from the North City Garrison flooding into the shocked courtyard.
Soon, these men in iron armor charged into the Jin Family like wolves into a flock of sheep, storming into rooms and dragging out panicked figures.
"How dare you, this is the residence of the Beiliang Heir, are you not afraid of disturbing the Heir ?"
"These accusations are groundless, the Heir is in the backyard, I demand to see him."
"..."
A few members of the Jin Family, unable to grasp the situation, wielded swords and daggers, wore an expression of angry panic, openly resisting the North City Garrison’s capture, threatening the garrison forces in the name of the Beiliang Heir, clamoring for the Young Master to stand up for them.
However, instead of waiting for the Young Master, a sharp whistle pierced the air, followed by a figure in red armor descending from the sky.
The head of the North City Garrison arrived personally, executing the capture order issued from the Ninth Mountain.
"Dare to defy, then kill them all!"
This North City Garrison head struck decisively, like an enraged lion, directly slaying those who resisted.
This thunderous method, coupled with the Ninth Mountain’s prestige, promptly quashed the small turmoil.
Soon, at the brightly lit gate of the Jin Family courtyard, figures were led out, drawing the attention of those outside in the windy, snowy night, filled with doubt.
Among them was one man, dressed in a loose purple robe embroidered with dark patterns, his figure slim, face narrow and slender, with a trace of wickedness between his brows.
This person was the guest under the Beiliang Heir, known as Vice Minister Wu.
Vice Minister Wu saw the Jin Family being apprehended by the garrison forces, his wicked eyes couldn’t help but flicker, a hint of fear flashing in his gaze.
Turning, he disappeared into the dark night.
About half an incense time later, Vice Minister Wu arrived at an inconspicuous courtyard near Yunding Mountain in the Southern City.
Then, he hurried towards a side room with lit lamps, opened the door, and stepped inside.
Inside, he knelt down on one knee towards the Beiliang Heir clad in a Python Robe and reported with a bow,
"Your Highness, the Jin Family is currently being massively apprehended by the North City Garrison!"
"By the Ninth Mountain’s order!"
"It seems, as you anticipated, that the Ninth Mountain’s Colonel hasn’t lost contact, leaving contingencies, that Western Regions Saintess just wants to drag you into the water."
Above, Beiliang Heir Tuoba Shuo listened to the report, his brows slightly furrowed yet showing no surprise.
Last night, the Western Regions Saintess came to him, intercepting the Eight Hundred Miles Urgent from the Ninth Mountain, obtaining news of the Nine Colonels’ absence, wanting him to assist.
The Saintess repeatedly expressed the intention to contend with Chen Yuan, yet refused to explain the reason.
He naturally wouldn’t get involved in this trouble!
Thus, on the night she appeared, he discreetly led his men and quietly left the backyard of the Jin Family, fearing she would act foolishly!
Having sparred a few times across distance with that Ninth Mountain Colonel, he knew dealing with such people required either avoiding unnecessary provocation or ensuring a perfect strike when confident!
Otherwise, it’s extremely dangerous!
Therefore, he ignored the Saintess, staying clear of trouble and danger.
Then came the night’s events, upon receiving the news, sending people to verify the situation with the Jin Family, behold.
"It seems we’ve been sold out by the Saintess!" Beiliang Heir Tuoba Shuo was not angry, rather scornful.
"Your Highness, someone saw with their own eyes, the Saintess seems... not..." Vice Minister Wu recalled something, his expression turning peculiar, hesitant to speak.
"Not a woman?" Tuoba Shuo turned his face, his tone steady.
"Your Highness knew this?" Vice Minister Wu was surprised, his expression turned a bit unnatural, the Saintess’ aura was mysterious, filled with irresistible allure, as a man, he couldn’t stop himself from contemplating such thoughts, now recalling this, he felt a cold shiver at heart.
But see Tuoba Shuo slowly shake his head, "No, She is a woman, but the cultivation technique of this Saintess is bizarre, awakening every few days as different people, including but not limited to both genders."
If he didn’t know the bottom line of this "Saintess", it would indeed underestimating the strength of the Royal Beiliang Mansion!
After speaking, this Beiliang Heir continued,
"It seems this place isn’t suitable for long stays, lest we get embroiled in scandal, let them battle it out. Send the message out, depart for Taiping County overnight, see how that mountain actually is?"
"
"It’s me!"
