Chapter 163: Chapter 124 Still haven’t had enough of killing? [One more!]_2

——

South District Granary.

Deputy Commander Zhou Yuan, riding a white horse, galloped over.

However, what he saw were four heads hanging above the granary.

And next to them were the many soldiers guarding the granary and various other people like the granary stewards, all as pale as death, terrified.

"Where is he?" Deputy Commander Zhou Yuan asked in a deep voice.

"That man suddenly broke into the granary and killed the granary Great Envoy, two Deputy Envoys, and a Steward," someone said with a tremble, "Then he just left."

"..."

Deputy Commander Zhou Yuan felt his heart sink and thought to himself, "This lad’s killing intent is much heavier than the rumors suggest!"

Yet, what shocked him even more was that he had only delayed a moment with the Great General at the South Gate.

And despite his swift pursuit, he still couldn’t catch up in time!

Although he knew that Wu Chang had entered the Refining Essence Realm,

Even for someone in the Refining Essence Realm, the pace was astoundingly fast!

Moreover, upon arrival, the killer acted swiftly, leaving quickly without dragging his feet.

It seemed he was very unwilling to be followed by him?

"I told him I would take over and settle the matters tonight..."

Deputy Commander Zhou Yuan couldn’t help feeling annoyed and thought, "Does he really need to break into the inner city and kill a few more to satisfy his urges?"

But in the next moment, Deputy Commander Zhou Yuan thought of something else and whispered to himself, "No, my senses are extremely sharp at the level of Qi Refinement, how did he slip by me without notice?"

"Could it be that this young man has exhausted his efforts to bring the Concealing Breath Technique to perfection?"

For a while, Deputy Commander Zhou Yuan found the idea absurd.

How many years has a young person been in cultivation?

Even with a heaven-sent genius, rapid progress in cultivation meant there was surely no lack of study and research in "martial arts."

At his age, to reach the Refining Essence Realm, one must focus entirely on the Martial Arts Realm.

How could he possibly have so much energy to study other techniques?

If it were techniques like sword skills for fighting and self-protection, it might be understandable!

But the Concealing Breath Technique, a minor magic method, even he, at the Qi Refinement Realm, merely practiced it to the beginner’s level and didn’t continue to delve further!

"Something is off about this lad!"

Suddenly, Deputy Commander Zhou Yuan spoke, looking at the crowd, "Which way did he go?"

"Responding to Deputy Commander Sir, after he killed them and hung the heads, he went left!"

At that moment, a young man in the crowd answered.

"Left is where the Liu Family has influence."

Deputy Commander Zhou Yuan immediately wheeled his horse around and galloped to the left.

The atmosphere at the scene remained somber.

Everyone dared not speak further, only to see the young man who had just responded slowly stand up and look at the people around him.

A drip!

Blood dripped from the heads above.

The young man’s face was spattered with fresh blood,

And then it collapsed on one side.

The atmosphere grew even more grim and terrifying.

Then the young man slowly raised his hand and pinched his collapsed paper face back into shape.

He then spoke, "The chief culprit has been removed, but working under his command, you are not innocent. However, whether or not your crimes warrant death is for the Sky Observation Bureau to determine later!"

After finishing his statement, he dashed toward the right, yelling, "Old master, wait for me..."

On another street to the left!

Deputy Commander Zhou Yuan suddenly reined his horse in, with a complex expression.

"Was I played for a fool?"

"This damned brat, even at a time like this, still has the mind to set a trap for me, to throw me off his trail?"

"No wonder something felt off!"

The young man who had responded earlier had not lifted his head from beginning to end.

Although there were traces of Qi-Blood on him, it seemed more likely to be from the corpses, masking his presence.

What’s more important, he hadn’t identified himself, so how could the young man recognize him?

——

Inside the city, southern yamen.

The jade lion of the Observatory Commander was a white steed with a slender build. At the head of the horse, its mane was fluffy, like that of a majestic lion.

At this moment, the sides of the horse’s belly each bore a human head, from which fresh blood was dripping.

In the southern yamen, one could see the Commander himself slowly walking out, holding a rope in his hand.

Tied to the rope were three men.

One was the Order Envoy of the southern yamen in the inner city.

Another was the Deputy Order Envoy of the southern yamen.

The third was the chief official from the southern yamen’s Department of Works.

"Commander, do you truly intend to fight to the bitter end?" shouted the Order Envoy angrily.

"It is my duty, what is this about a fight to the bitter end?"

The Commander glanced at him and said, "Be sensible. Have the guards of your southern yamen withdraw completely. Don’t force my hand to slaughter wildly... You’re going to come back with me to the Observatory!"

He reached out and patted the Order Envoy’s cheek, saying, "Follow me and you might just live, otherwise once Wu Chang arrives, your head will roll on the ground."

"Has everyone in the Observatory lost their minds?"

The Order Envoy bellowed, "Do you want to repeat the situation from twenty years ago? Does the Observatory want to become the enemy of the entire city?"

"Enough of the nonsense."

The Commander spoke indifferently, "There are eight yamen in the inner city, along with the City Guard Mansion in the middle city, the six major families, and the Liu Zun Temple. Tonight, they all need to be visited... I am getting on in years, and truly quite busy."

Meanwhile, the guards of the southern yamen in the inner city had already rushed over.

And three Flag Commanders of the Observatory had also arrived at a brisk pace with dozens of lesser flags.

Both parties were tense and ready for confrontation.

"Withdraw!"

The Commander waved his hand and said, "Who told you to come? Didn’t I say that the southern yamen would be handled by me alone? Shouldn’t you be supporting the other brothers?"

He chuckled and looked at the Order Envoy, "It seems my young subordinates think the same as you, that I’ve grown old. A mere two hundred plus guards from the southern yamen, and you think they can take me down?"

"Withdraw!"

The Order Envoy sighed. He knew that in the face of the Supreme Commander of the High Willow City Observatory, he had absolutely no room to resist.

"You are indeed aware of the times."

The Commander tossed the rope over, instructing, "Take them back to the Observatory Headquarters for questioning until I return!"

He immediately strode off towards the southwest of the inner city.

But at that moment, a figure burst out from a nearby alley, reaching for the rope hurled by the Flag Commander and grabbed hold of it.

Then, with a powerful tug!

The Order Envoy of the southern yamen and the two Deputy Order Envoys were pulled up into the air like kites.

They came crashing down towards them with a thud.

"It’s enough to question one!"

The voice of Lin Yan spread, holding onto the rope with his left hand and wielding his blade with his right hand, slashing forward.

"Stop!"

The Order Envoy bellowed, watching helplessly as his own body, completely out of control, collided with the edge of the blade.

Then, the world spun around him, his vision twisted and turned until he plunged into darkness.

In the eyes of the onlookers, this General Flag Envoy suddenly charged out, took over the rope, pulled it towards him, and one cut severed two heads.

One of the Deputy Order Envoys was left, pinned under his boot.

His gaze went straight to the Observatory Commander.

"Zhou Yuan couldn’t quell this young man’s bloodlust?"

The Commander massaged his brow and walked over, asking, "Young man, how many have you killed as you entered the inner city?"

"I’ve only eradicated three places, not many killed in total."

Lin Yan adjusted his clothes, blood dripping from the hem.

He looked at the Commander, saying, "Everything I’ve done tonight has been under your orders, old man!"

"..."

"Whether it’s the inner or outer city, the southern region is more or less purged."

Lin Yan gazed at his blade, pondering as he spoke, "But what about the other regions... and their backers?"

Was he not satisfied with his killing spree yet?

The Commander’s expression shifted slightly, and he immediately stepped forward.

He pressed down on the hilt of Lin Yan’s blade and sheathed the sword.

Then he looked earnestly at Lin Yan and said, "The other regions have been handled by those I’ve sent; they’re not your concern! Old Five, rest assured, I will take care of it properly..."
