When Ye Xiao saw how the man died, even though he was bold, he took a chilling cold breath.
“It is an obvious truth that the vile organization does not only want to control their people… The organization is using some sort of mysterious and malicious power to steal the soul power from their people… They have this extremely evil martial art which can extract these people’s essence of their energies when they died. The energies are transferred to something else. Such an immoral martial art is a malignant tumor to the entire world!”
Ye Xiao talked in a deep voice with glaring lights of fury in his eyes.
If the secret organization only killed or manipulated people in some special ways, he would understand it. After all, all organizations in history did the same thing. It wasn’t that unreasonable.
However, as he saw what had happened, he knew that this organization was some kind of evilness that didn’t belong to Qing-Yun Realm, that couldn’t be comprehended by this realm!
It broke the bottom line of everybody in the world!
“Go check the dead bodies of the people later. I mean the people we killed these days.” Ye Xiao said.
After killing those people, they surely had done a perfect job in disguising the dead bodies and covering their moves.
After they returned to the tombs they had dug, they were astounded by what they saw.
The dead bodies had all become mummified corpses.
The dead bodies were completely dried up.
There was no exception!
Ye Xiao and the others looked at each other and didn’t know what to say.
It had been only one night since they last saw the dead bodies.
However, the mummified corpses looked like decades old!
“That must be some extremely vile demonic martial art! Otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to do this.” Jun Yinglian was extremely angry, and her face had turned green because of the anger!
Such sinister thing was totally unacceptable and unforgivable in Qing-Yun Realm!
“Keep searching!” Ye Xiao looked determined.
What filled up his heart was that unspeakable fury.
He couldn’t help thinking of Master Bai in Land of Han-Yang, who was elegant and unconventional. He sighed and thought, [Master Bai, do you know the House of Chaotic Storms that you have built has now become such a depraved organization?]
[I wonder if you have thought that the cultivators you trained would become followers to the demons!]
[Do you know that the powerful organization you built is putting on a massacre worldwide?]
[I guess you won’t be able to tolerate it if you do know.]
He took a long steady breath with a sigh.
He never had a doubt about Master Bai.
Although Master Bai had been an enemy to Ye Xiao since the beginning, he was still a venerable and honorable opponent to Ye Xiao. Maybe he was cruel and cold-blooded, but he still had humanity.
Besides, if Master Bai was behind the organization and making schemes, Ye Xiao and his men should have been killed long ago.
All Master Bai needed was to send Wan of Clouds, who had regained her full power that could destroy the entire Qing-Yun Realm!
It should be as easy as turning over her hand!
If Master Bai wanted to collapse the world, he wouldn’t need to make such a big plan.
“We used to respect each other… We used to know each other well…” Ye Xiao smiled and looked at the sky. He blandly said, “Let me do the cleansing for you.”
One night of massacre!
Even though Xuan Bing kept supporting Rou’er with the ultimate yin qi, Rou’er still got her soul exhausted. She had to eat a dan bead and went back to rest.
Ye Xiao and the others had been busy working all night as well.
Because the existence of Rou’er was still a secret, so they couldn’t let others know about the plan. Ye Xiao, Jun Yinglian, and Xuan Bing were doing it on their own.
For the current situation, the three of them made the most trustworthy team.
Li Wuliang, Han Bingxue, and the others were guarding around the base to keep everything in peace.
Each attends to their own duties.
The next night, the massacre went on.
Countless lives were taken in the silence of the night.
…
“How many people in total?”
Rou’er had eaten two dan beads in the three days, even though she didn’t want to. She knew that she had to use some of them to finish her job. The two dan beads infused the energy of her soul and also improved her cultivation. That was a surprise to her.
After the three days, even when she had searched around the area within a thousand miles, she couldn’t find any trace of anybody from the secret organization anymore.
The secret massacre in the dark was eventually done.
Rou’er was so exhausted that she returned to Zhao Pingtian and took a rest.
Ye Xiao started to count the number of the men they had killed.
“Nine thousand, nine hundred, and ninety-eight people.” Jun Yinglian had killed so many people that her arms felt numb and her pretty face was pale. She was powerful indeed, but she was a woman after all.
She felt fine just to occasionally kill some people in the martial world. However, making a massacre seemed to be unendurable for her.
She knew that those people she killed were barely human beings anymore. In fact, they had already become demonic creatures. However, they were still lives!
“Which means… With Zhao Pingtian and Ning Biluo, the enemy has sent ten thousand people this time!” Ye Xiao was shocked by the number.
Ten thousand undercover cultivators!
That was such a big plan. They actually sent ten thousand undercover cultivators for it.
Ye Xiao could imagine how big the trouble would be when the war began and the enemy’s undercover people were around his people.
After many days of eating and drinking together, how could any of his people guard against the men beside them?
Those people should be someone they could entrust their lives to, shouldn’t they?
Once the undercover people started to make attacks inside, tens of thousands of good men would be killed!
Even more.
Ye Xiao’s army might collapse at once!
If something like that happened, Ye Xiao would know that there was nothing he could do. There was always a limitation to one’s power. A strong power was the most important thing in the Qing-Yun Realm, but it was not the only thing that was important. No matter how strong an individual was, it was still weak in the battle of tens of thousands of men, hundreds of thousands of men!
Now Ye Xiao automatically took a breath of relief.
Then he realized something strange.
In Ye Xiao’s heart, Jun Yinglian was definitely an experienced senior cultivator in the martial world of Qing-Yun Realm. However, her face looked pale at the moment. It appeared that she was exhausted like she was so oppressed because of the massacre.
Instead, Bing’er, who shouldn’t have been through too much bloodshed, a tender, and delicate flower bud, actually looked absolutely calm!
That was so weird.
Ye Xiao had thought that Bing’er, the weak and lovely little girl, would feel sick about the bloodshed and will retreat from being a part of the massacre… Her hands should be absolutely clean… Even though Bing’er had been staying with Rou’er and didn’t kill as many as Ye Xiao did, she had still taken a lot of people’s lives. However, unexpectedly, Jun Yinglian felt sick about it first, not Bing’er.
“What is wrong? Is it the bloodshed? Do you feel uncomfortable killing too many people?” Ye Xiao asked Jun Yinglian softly.
Jun Yinglian nodded. As she heard the word ‘kill’, her face turned pale again.
“Haha…” Ye Xiao laughed and teased her, “You are a famous cultivator in the Qing-Yun Realm, aren’t you? Yet you are actually even weaker than Bing’er, the weak delicate little girl. Are you sure? You don’t seem like the lady of my family!”
Jun Yinglian stared at Ye Xiao’s laughing arrogant face. She just wanted to punch him hard and hit his tongue back into his throat.
[Weak delicate little girl?]
[I am the weak delicate little girl compared to that woman!]
[That is the first demonic queen in Qing-Yun Realm. No, the first demonic goddess in the world!]
[Ye Xiao, you are such a pig. You are a stupid pig…]
[You don’t see it, yet you keep mumbling the nonsense now and then! Are you addicted to that?]
“Ahem…” Xuan Bing heard what Ye Xiao said, ‘weak delicate little girl’. Her face turned red, and she awkwardly coughed…
If she was the only person who heard it, it would be fine. She would only blush a little.
However, Jun Yinglian the lady of the family was there too…
Even if Xuan Bing was brazen-faced, she would still feel embarrassed about it! Would she? She definitely would!
Jun Yinglian got closer to Xuan Bing, staring at her rosy face and then smilingly said, “Really? Are you really that weak and delicate? Let me have a look… Oh, you are indeed! How delicate…”
Xuan Bing was angry and bashful, yet she couldn’t say anything. She only humphed and ran away with a rosy face.
“How weak and delicate! The escaping little girl…” Jun Yinglian laughed out loud.
Ning Biluo, Zhao Pingtian, and Liu Changjun had been guarding around the base after improving to a new level. They were sent here undercover, yet became double-side spies now…
Besides, the other vile organization spies were all dead.
People of the organization knew that.
However, they wondered why these two were still alive.
What surprised them was that these two had become much more powerful!
It didn’t need explanation, did it? They were exposed.
If the two of them went out of the base, they would definitely draw a lot of furious attention from people of the organization. Liu Changjun decided to follow them because he wanted to get himself into some fights.
Therefore, the three of them went out excitedly.
With the support from the Divine Yin Yang Fruit, they had become top-level Dao Origin Stage cultivators. Although they had better mindsets than ordinary people, they still couldn’t match the new cultivation level. In order to improve their mindsets further to match their power, they would like to put themselves under the shadow of death threats. In fact, that was the common way for assassins to improve themselves.
They didn’t tell anybody about the plan, and they went out secretly.
These were three men who chased for death!
…
In the camp.
Ye Xiao, Xuan Bing, and Jun Yinglian were resting. After a while, the three of them opened their eyes at the same time and looked at each other. Ye Xiao’s eyes looked calm. Jun Yinglian’s eyes flickered. Xuan Bing blushed.
Ye Xiao’s eyes looked deep and calm like bottomless brown pools. He rubbed the jaw and said, “The moles are cleaned. Next, we are going to…”
Jun Yinglian stepped forward and held his hand softly then said, “We understand… You can make the decision by yourself. We will support you no matter what decision you make.”
Ye Xiao was shocked.
Jun Yinglian said, “Today we finally get the time to stay together. Let’s enjoy the leisure moment… We should talk about something not so serious. The great business about the world should be the topic you and your people talk about tomorrow.”
Xuan Bing blushed and said, “That’s right. We are a family. Why do we have to talk about the fights and blood… That’s boring…”
In fact, Xuan Bing should address Jun Yinglian with a respectful term, such as ‘the lady’.
However, no matter how she accepted that she was a concubine, even though she wasn’t exposed yet, she truly couldn’t speak something like ‘the lady was right’… She just couldn’t do it.
She just decided not to address Jun Yinglian.
Ye Xiao didn’t care about how the two ladies called each other though. As he heard the word ‘family’, his eyes flickered. He said, “Lian Lian, what do you want to say really? I am kind of not used to the way you just talked!”
Jun Yinglian leaned on him and said, “Why? Why not? I am just saying… No matter what happens… No matter how you change into… No matter what… You are our man. You are our Ye Xiao! That’s all!
“Because you are Ye Xiao, our man, we will trust you no matter what happens. We support you, love you, and do whatever it takes for you!”
Jun Yinglian slowly said, “So… If there is anything that bothers you, whatever it is, we would love to share it.”
“We are a family, not others!”
Jun Yinglian softly added.
Ye Xiao’s face twisted and he said, “You know. What else could I say?”
“It is not your fault. Don’t push yourself so hard.” Jun Yinglian held his head and said lovingly.
“It is not my fault. I know.” Ye Xiao smiled bitterly, “It is all about a strange combination of circumstances.”
That was true. The only problem was the strange combination of those circumstances.
Xuan Bing gritted her teeth and said, “In fact, I am an orphan too…”
Jun Yinglian and Ye Xiao turned to look at Xuan Bing.
Apparently, they were both shocked by what Bing’er suddenly said.
Ye Xiao was surprised that Bing’er suddenly became so brave that she would talk about something about herself so boldly. Jun Yinglian was surprised because Xuan Bing seemed to start talking about something that she had been covering for a long time. What was she going to say?
