Soaring of Galaxia - Chapter 245

Chapter 245

Qin Wushuang jumped down from the horse and walked forward .

That group of martial artists immediately went forward to block him . However, like the blowing wind, they only saw the figure blurred from their eyes and in flash, they saw Qin Wushuang was already a dozen metres behind them . Like the translucent air, their layers of defense did not work at all .

Qin Wushuang rushed directly to that Honored Warrior with dishevelled hair . When he arrived close to him, suddenly, he lifted his arm and pulled the forward movement of that Honored Warrior .

Next, he poked continuously and blocked all the acupoints on that Honored Warrior . He sent out a wave of Spiritual Qi directly into the Honored Warrior’s sea of Spiritual Qi to suppress the tumultuous movements of Qi and to sort out the chaotic channels of arteries .

From afar, with his sharp eyes, Qin Wushuang had seen that this Honored Warrior was in too much shock . Vividly, his arteries were chaotic and had the signs of having gone mad . If he did not receive immediate treatment, he would die for sure . Instantly, he used his methods to fix his mind . While at the same time, he took the corpse and lay it on the ground to analyze .

After observing at a close distance, Qin Wushuang was sure that indeed, this person was Ba Liming, the second Martial Saint of the Ba Shu Country . All of his five major organs had been deeply caved in as if a strange power had absorbed it to a wizened state . Besides, something had chewed many parts of the body into a distorted shape . The body was shattered everywhere .

Currently, all those Pre-Sky elite warriors glanced at each other and rushed forward with weapons in their hand when they saw Qin Wushuang made a move on their Honored Warrior and took the corpse of the Martial Saint . They were ready to launch a group attack .

Qin Wushuang glanced at that Honored Warrior and saw that he was able to breathe normally . Since his internal sea of Spiritual Qi was no longer roiling as before, he stroke his face and awakened him .

He woke up and a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes . He glared at Qin Wushuang with a confused look, but it was more of a gratitude .

He lowered his head and looked at Ba Liming’s corpse and could not help but cry out miserably: "Teacher!"

 "You are Ba Liming’s disciple?"

 "Yes…" That Honored Warrior bowed, "Senior, you are…"

 "I came from the Great Luo Empire, no need to ask more . Tell me all the details . "

When that Honored Warrior heard the word of "Great Luo Empire," he was immediately overjoyed and spoke of all the misfortune that had happened during these days . After he had finished speaking all the details, finally, Qin Wushuang had understood what had happened . A few days before the new year, this Purple Cloud Town had been completely looted . Not a single person was left alive .

Since the Purple Cloud Town had been massacred and not a single person was left alive, the news had only been spread out after three days . It was when a foreigner arrived at this place and rushed out to report this matter after he had seen this devastating scene . Then, the news had shocked the officials all the way to the imperial capital .

In the history of the Tian Xuan land, such inhuman destruction has happened before . However, it would usually happen during wartime between two countries when one party wanted to unleash their hatred by ordering such a genocide .

Recently, the Ba Shu country had been involved in any warfare . The Purple Cloud was a trading town and not strong in military power, people from here had done nothing to incur this massacre .

The Ba Shu Country immediately sent Ba Liming, the martial saint, after receiving this shocking news . He brought a group of elite warriors from the Zhen Wu Holy Place to investigate .

When they arrived at the Purple Cloud Town, to their shock, Ba Liming and his two Honored Warrior disciples found that the situation was extremely complicated .

Firstly, this Purple Cloud Town must have been looted . Or else, all the property from the Purple Cloud would not have disappeared .

And if it was the case that only bandits had looted the town, it would be impossible to not let anyone escape from the Purple Cloud Town . Regardless of how sophisticated the organization of the bandits were, they were after all, a mob and incapable of killing every single person . Being a famous trade town, the Purple Cloud town had many big families . There more or less would be some secret passages . Some families would even have their own militia force . Even if they were to fight through the bloodbath, they could make it out .

Thus, the possibility of a bandit raid could be eliminated .

Undoubtedly, this was the act of a large group of elite and well-trained warriors . Among them, there would be elite warriors that excelled in tracking to find anyone in the secret passageways . Or else, they could not have killed everyone .

The most terrifying fact was that the tens of thousands of people of the Purple Cloud Town had not only gotten killed, many of the corpses appeared distorted . They were lacking many body parts as if some vicious beast had chewed on them .

Through layers of analysis, finally, Ba Liming found a trace of evidence . He targeted the Green Jade Mountain that stood before the Purple Cloud Mountain .

From Ba Liming’s analysis, the person who had conducted the massacre had retreated towards the direction of the Green Jade Mountain . Thus, he immediately brought his two Honored Warrior disciples to launch an in-depth investigation .

Then, he also ordered his subordinates to burn and bury all the corpses of the Purple Cloud Town to prevent a large epidemic for occurring .

At the same time, he passed down orders to block all travel paths toward the Purple Cloud Town!

He had been gone for three days . Unexpectedly, when he finally returned, even he had died . And his corpse’s appearance looked exactly the same as a portion of the corpses from the Purple Cloud Town .

His five major organs seemed to have been absorbed by some type of monster and appeared extremely terrifying .

Hearing the words from that Honored Warrior, Qin Wushuang put on a solemn expression and walked out . He waved his hand to his fellow colleagues to motioned everyone to come over .

As Zhou Fu and the others nudged the horses forward, those martial artists still wanted to block him . However, that Honored Warrior shouted: "Step down, do not be rude . "

Since Ba Liming was no longer alive, the Honored Warrior held the highest position . With his order, those Pre-Sky Realm warriors stepped back and made a path .

 "Is this really Ba Liming?" Zhou Fu frowned and felt the hair standing on her back .

 "Yes . " There was also a trace of seriousness in Qin Wushuang’s tone, "This is not a simple matter . For someone who is capable of doing something like this to Ba Liming, he must be extremely powerful . From my estimation, there are two possibilities . "

 "Which two?" Zhou Fu asked while she blinked her eyes .

"Firstly, the opponent is an elite warrior that excels in practicing nefarious techniques and is extremely savage . Secondly, the enemy might be a vicious beast and not at the Initial Stage level . "

Initially, Qin Wushuang could only make these assumptions . Zhou Fu nodded: "Yes, if it were normal warriors, they would only kill and not be this savage and creepy . "

Qin Wushuang turned to ask that Honored Warrior: "When your teacher encountered some enemy, you guys didn’t see anything?"

That Honored Warrior shook his head: "At that time, us three went in three directions . We agreed to assemble every fifty miles . However, on the third day, I saw my teacher’s corpse lying across the path . I panicked and carried his corpse back in a rush . I don’t know the status of the other Honored Warrior . "

 "Did you encounter any sneak attacks along the way?"

 "No, but I also didn’t find any clues . I don’t doubt that my teacher’s path should have been where the clues were . That’s why he got killed . "

Qin Wushuang became silent and started to examine Ba Liming’s corpse with care . After examining for a while, he did not find anything and instructed: "The people you brought from the Zhen Wu Holy Place, you can return to make camp outside the Purple Cloud Town . Protect the scene . After you have burned all the bodies, you are done . "

That Honored Warrior nodded and asked carefully: "Should I report it to the First Martial Saint?"

 "Of course . The death of Ba Liming is a serious matter . The First Martial Saint must prepare for any unforeseen events . "

 "Yes . "

After a few hours, the people of the Zhen Wu Holy Place left some tents and food and withdrew .

With the arrival of the dusk, Qin Wushuang and the others started to light a bonfire in the open space . Four of their tents were set in square shape . As the fire ignited with the blaze, Qin Wushuang sat before it and was thinking on something .

 "Junior Brother Wushuang, why are you not resting?" Zhou Fu walked out from the tent .

 "Senior Sister, tell everyone to stay alert . I am afraid this is not an ordinary enemy . "

Zhou Fu said angrily: "I even want him to come . If he does, we must teach him a good lesson . Such brutal person that killed these people like weeds, I will cut off his head . Junior Brother Wushuang, tomorrow morning, we shall go into the mountain . "

 "No rush . " Qin Wushuang said lightly, "We must wait to move when Senior Brother Wei Yi gets here . "

 "Why?" Zhou Fu could not understand .

 "With how far things have gone, it’s no longer a simple matter of the disappearance of the Herbalist disciples . For sure, a bigger plot is hidden behind this matter . "

Qin Wushuang analyzed and said: "If it was an elite warrior that had killed Ba Liming so easily, he must have exceptional strength . Most likely, he might be someone at the Middle Stage of the Spiritual Martial Force . "

"Middle Stage?" Zhou Fu’s face froze . There was a trace of surprise on her beautiful face, "Could it truly be a dirty scheme by the Heavenly Lake Empire?"

Qin Wushuang said: "It’s too early to make a definite conclusion . When Wei Yi gets here, we will enter the mountain in two groups . One group will go in and the other one would stay outside . However, we must make sure to never go by ourselves . Everyone from each group must stick together . We must prevent the enemy from launching a sneak attack when one of us is alone . "

This night was quiet and uneventful and nothing happened . On the second day, under the leadership of Wei Yi, the disciples of the Head Palace Master arrived .

When two groups gathered together, they had more confidence .

Qin Wushuang said to Wei YI: "Senior Brother Wei Yi, I would like to investigate further into the mountain . You are in charge here . When Senior Brother Zhao Muzhi arrives with his people, we will go in two groups, how about it?"

Zhou Fu opposed: "Junior Brother Wushuang, we don’t feel reassured about letting you enter the mountain alone . "

Qin Wushuang revealed a reassuring smile and said with confidence: "Senior Sister, no need to worry, I am not going to act brave by going in too deep . I will only investigate a little from the outside and follow the path of Ba Liming . I want to see exactly how Ba Liming was killed . "

Wei Yi nodded: "Ok, you must be careful, Junior Brother Qin . If the enemy is too strong, don’t face him head on . With the power from all ten of us, we will finish him!"

Qin Wushuang nodded in agreement . He packed his bags and rushed toward the Green Jade Mountain .
