System's Super Sect-Chapter 743 - 738, Xia Family members, not a single subordinate was spared!
The white light of dawn gradually expanded until the entire sky became bright.
Vast City slowly awoke, and the number of people on the streets multiplied, with more and more vendors setting up stalls and hawking their wares.
At this moment, one seemingly ordinary street in Vast City was gathering streams of people from all directions, and in a short time, more and more people headed there. This was rare in Vast City because that street was already a ruin, no longer bustling.
People gathered on this street, looking at the houses that were destroyed, then at the Hundred Sects Alliance guards carrying bodies out of the ruins.
Immediately, someone exclaimed, "Isn’t that someone from the Xia Family?"
"That’s Xia Tu from the Xia Family, with power from the Middle Realm of Mountain Suppression. How did he get killed in the city?"
"Could the rumors be true? That a powerful pursuer chased the Xia Family at dawn, slaughtering the entire high ranks of the family."
The newcomers to the scene debated animatedly.
No one expected a Four-star Giant Influence to suffer such a disaster.
Clearly, no matter where a Four-star Giant Influence was, it was a high and mighty existence, with no one daring to provoke and rare to offend.
Suddenly, cries of amazement erupted from the crowd.
"They’re here!"
"The three Golden Level Chiefs have come!"
"The death of Xia Family members in the city has attracted Golden Level Chiefs."
People looked towards the Wing Race Great Demon in the sky, on whose back were indeed the Hundred Sects Alliance’s three Golden Level Chiefs.
Wen Venerable, Suo Tongfang, and Gong Cao.
While the cries of amazement hadn’t weakened at all, they surged like waves to another peak.
"More! There’s more!"
"That’s the Golden Level Chief."
"One... two..."
"Six in total. Except for Situ Xiuneng killed by the Immortal Sect, all Silver Level Chiefs have arrived."
The onlookers marveled endlessly, suddenly feeling grateful towards last night’s perpetrator for giving them the chance to see these big figures.
...
Beside the headless corpse of Xiahou, Le Lianjin stood with a furrowed brow.
He never expected that the waist token given out a short while ago would be crushed.
Even more unexpected was that shortly after the token was crushed, Xiahou had already died.
This process was so fast that it left Lian Jin at a loss.
"What’s going on?"
"Is there someone committing violence during the centennial gathering again?"
The three Golden Level Chiefs walked slowly and stopped before Xiahou’s corpse, scanning from top to bottom to examine the injuries on Xiahou’s body.
Wen Venerable looked at Lian Jin and asked, "What happened?"
"I don’t know either..." Lian Jin answered helplessly.
Wen Venerable angrily said, "You crushed the waist token, yet don’t know what happened?"
"I was busy with matters in the Demon Realm. Over an hour ago, I handed the waist token to my disciple Xiahou, letting him act on my behalf as supervisor. However, not long after, the token was crushed, and when I arrived at the scene, this was how it appeared." Lian Jin honestly didn’t care whether Xiahou was dead or alive; he was merely curious about who killed Xiahou.
For the waist token?
But without his recognition, the token would be of no use, unable to mobilize anyone.
Revenge?
When had the Xia Family offended such a terrifying expert?
Wen Venerable murmured, "To kill a Mountain Suppression Upper Realm expert within just over an hour, the perpetrator’s power is clearly not simple."
Lian Jin nodded, "I think so too."
Just then, the chief guard of the Hundred Sects Alliance hurriedly ran over.
First, a sound insulation barrier with vein Qi was erected around them, then he said, "Sir, I have already found some clues. According to eyewitnesses, the person chasing the Xia Family was a masked half-step Earth Unrestricted expert. Under his pursuit, he killed over ten high-ranking members of the Xia Family without sparing anyone. The identity of the perpetrator is currently untraceable, only that he used a giant hammer as a weapon; perhaps this is a breakthrough point."
"Half-step Earth Unrestricted..."
Many Silver Level Chiefs fell into contemplation.
Goodness.
It’s another appearance of such a level of expert.
Then why investigate at all?
If investigated, what if they find out who it is? 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
At best, they’ll know the answer, but would they dare to demand justice?
The answer is evidently no.
During their silence, Wen Venerable glanced at Bo Lian beside him.
Bo Lian was the intelligence organization’s leader.
If anyone knew something, it would certainly be Bo Lian.
"Bo Lian."
Bo Lian came to his senses, smiled bitterly, and said, "I..."
"I’m asking you, what have you been doing every day?" Wen Venerable was suddenly inclined to replace Bo Lian.
Recently, the mysterious Demon King hadn’t been revealed, nor had anything useful been found regarding the Demon Realm’s entrance attack. Now, the Xia Family members have been slaughtered on the street, and Bo Lian is still clueless.
The intelligence organization has become useless in this man’s hands!
Bo Lian hurriedly explained, "Sir, recently, a key subordinate has betrayed me, holding half of the Hundred Sects Alliance’s intelligence and secrets. Therefore, I have been focused on tracing his whereabouts, concentrating on eliminating the traitor, and have not diverted attention to monitor Vast City."
Wen Venerable angrily said, "So, you’re saying you’re completely ignorant of this matter?"
"The subordinate is guilty!"
Bo Lian knew that he couldn’t escape the scolding today, so he simply stopped explaining.
Further explanation might anger Wen Venerable enough to remove him.
After continuing to scold Bo Lian, Wen Venerable didn’t hold him accountable further, "Deploy everyone to investigate for me; I want to know who exactly was chasing the Xia Family. I personally want to ask why he dared to slaughter all the high-ranking members of the Xia Family, really thinking our Hundred Sects Alliance is empty-handed?"
"Yes!" Bo Lian hastily nodded, turned around, and left, not daring to linger.
As they spoke, the crowd of onlookers gradually grew larger.
The words spoken by Wen Venerable and the others were blocked by a sound insulation barrier, so the onlookers didn’t hear a single word.
However, this also left much to the imagination for most people; upon seeing Wen Venerable rebuke Bo Lian, many immediately guessed that even the Hundred Sects Alliance was unaware of who killed the Xia Family members.
If they knew, why would they reprimand Bo Lian, the chief in charge of the intelligence organization, so harshly?
"In my opinion, the one who killed the Xia Family members is probably at least at the level of a Silver Level Chief."
"Hard to say. Even at the level of a Silver Level Chief, shouldn’t it be impossible to kill more than a dozen in the Mountain Suppression Realm in such a short period?"
"Could it be a strongman at the level of a Golden Level Chief?"
"Perhaps it is!"
"It must be, or else why would the Xia Family members be running?"
...
At the Hidden Dragon Sect’s accommodations.
With the end of the Demon Slaying Competition, the most joyful thing for them was not only the good results obtained by the Hidden Dragon Sect but also the complete fall of Xia Jin’s talents.
"Those talents from the Xia Family actively provoked the Immortal Sect and ended up all being killed. Truly satisfying!"
"If Bainian Xiang, this little girl, were to cultivate a few more years in the Immortal Sect, she might become just as extraordinary as Qin Mo and Lin Kewu."
"Definitely, didn’t you hear Bainian Xiang say that they’ve been in the Immortal Sect for less than a year as well?"
"By the way, what do you say, how about we stroll by the Xia Family members today and see their expressions?"
"Sounds good, Count me in, Old Liu."
Everyone burst into laughter immediately.
As the Sect Leader, Bainian Hanshan, although he should maintain his cool demeanor and bearing, couldn’t help but laugh along this time.
After the laughter, Bainian Hanshan said, "In this way, we can hold on for a few more decades, and Xia Jin will have no successors."
"Yeah, we just need to endure these decades."
"Decades later, the Xia Family will surely decline. By then, we have Bainian Xiang, and when we’re all gone, all that belongs to the Xia Family can become Xiang’s possessions."
Everyone was instantly filled with confidence.
The persistence of their generation finally has some effect.
Although they might not enjoy the results, decades later, their children can.
And that’s worth it!
At this moment, a barefooted lad suddenly burst into the inn, and before the innkeeper could rush over to drive him away, he shouted a sentence.
"Something major happened! Xiahou of the Xia Family, along with all the Xia Family’s high-ranking members, have been killed by a mysterious strongman!"
After shouting, the barefooted lad ran away quickly.
He was also afraid of being caught and beaten by the innkeeper.
After the barefooted lad fled, the smiles of the Hidden Dragon Sect members standing by the window on the second-floor private room suddenly froze.
Bu Ling was the first to force out a slight smile and said, "That boy must be talking nonsense, right?"
Before the words were finished, everyone heard the noise from outside the window.
It was generally about the whole Xia Family being annihilated.
"No way!"
"All killed!"
The Hidden Dragon Sect members hurriedly dashed down to catch someone and inquire.
Of course, the answer they got was exactly as they had feared.
...
Inside the inn.
Wen Ping opened the window, stretched lazily, and took a deep breath.
"Time to go home!"
He then turned and left the room.
While walking along the corridor, members of the Immortal Sect in the inn started to gather their belongings and come out of their rooms, chatting and laughing.
For them, no matter how splendid the outside world was, it couldn’t compare to the Immortal Sect.
The Immortal Sect offered dramas to watch, movies to see, and battles with demons turned saints, things not found in Vast City.
In Vast City, the only forms of entertainment were opera singing and storytelling, where tales of adventurous feats of Mountain Suppression powerhouses were shared.
"Has Xiang come yet?"
H Lan quickly responded, "Master, she rested at the Hidden Dragon Sect last night, she’ll be joining us shortly."
"Then instruct the inn to prepare something we’ve never tried before so we can eat while we wait," said Wen Ping. While speaking, he glanced at Chen Xie and his son, who had halted their antics due to his presence, and a blueprint for the future immediately formed in his mind. Given Chen Xie’s formidable intelligence-gathering skills at night, reviewing Weisheng Canglan’s storage ring, he found a building perfect for managing intelligence personnel in the architectural list.
With the existence of the Sound Transmission Stone, there’s no worry of communication being intercepted by the enemy by luck. Wen Ping believed that it wouldn’t take long before the Immortal Sect would possess a very powerful intelligence organization.
At that time, it would be the moment for him to penetrate beyond Heaven and Earth Lake!
Know thyself, know thy enemy, a hundred battles without fear of defeat, he always adhered to this principle.
At this moment, He Nian suddenly walked in, drawing everyone’s attention to himself.
"Elder He, where have you been?"
H Lan went up to greet him.
He Nian replied indifferently, "Went out to kill a few clowns."
Then he looked up towards the corridor where Wen Ping was and slowly drew a head from his storage ring, throwing it on the ground.
It was a bloody head, still vaguely recognizable.
Beside him, Chen Xie hurriedly covered his son’s eyes, gazing at Xiahou’s head, a sense of surprise rising in his heart.
Two hours ago, He Nian asked for the address where the Xia Family resided, and now he returned with Xiahou’s head.
Elder He’s strength is likely no small matter!
After tossing the head, He Nian knelt on one knee and said, "Sect Leader, fourteen in the Mountain Suppression Realm from the Xia Family, none were left by me!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the inn drew in a sharp breath of cold air.
Looking at He Nian, filled with both awe and terror.
Killing fourteen Mountain Suppression powerhouses, just like that.
That’s unbelievably ruthless!
