Chapter 101

After burning all the corpses of the Netherworld Tower assassins and erasing all traces, Gu Chen searched all the storage rings left behind by the assassins.

There were more than forty of them, but Gu Chen kept them without even looking at them. Then, he walked toward Cao Xuanbin.

This was an ordinary-looking young man who seemed to be about the same age as him. The only special characteristic about him was that he was fat. Apart from that, there was nothing special about him.

It was hard to imagine that such a guy could alarm all three dark forces.

Cao Xuanbin was also affected by the innate aura and fainted. Gu Chen picked him up and put him on his shoulder, ready to leave this area.

The previous battle had caused quite a commotion, and every second that passed meant a higher chance of him being exposed.

After taking one last look at the battlefield and making sure that he didn't leave behind any evidence, Gu Chen spread his Wind Element Wings and flew into the sky, quickly leaving this area.

…

Late at night, the strong smell of blood permeated the wilderness.

"Howl ~ ~ ~"

Wild wolves with bright green eyes followed their instincts and fought to gnaw on the corpses of the Netherworld God Palace assassins on the ground, tearing them apart beyond recognition.

At a certain moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky, and his voice sounded like muffled thunder.

"Get lost!"

A terrifying aura swept in all directions, and all the wild wolves howled in fear and fled this area.

The figure in the sky landed on the ground and looked around. His face, which was wearing a ghost mask, looked sinister.

"Am I too late? The despicable Netherworld God Palace didn't really want to exchange the Netherworld Water for the Cao Family's lad! "

The Netherworld Tower's Soul-Eater Envoy was burning with anger. After hearing the news from his subordinates, he rushed over. He didn't expect to see such a scene when he arrived!

Although the corpses on the ground were all assassins from the Netherworld God Palace, he could vaguely see traces of the Netherworld Tower's cultivation technique on the corpses' wounds. It was obvious that there had been an intense conflict between the two sides.

He came to a piece of charred ground covered with a thick layer of bone ash.

He dipped his finger into the bone ash powder and sniffed it. After a while, his mood became even worse.

"It seems that all the people from the Netherworld Tower are dead!

"The Nether God Palace destroyed the corpses, leaving only the corpses of their own people. What is the meaning of this?"

His eyes flickered incessantly. The most important thing was that he hadn't found the corpse of the brat from the Cao Family. He should have been taken away by the people from the Underworld God Palace.

"Did you deliberately leave so many corpses to mislead me and make me waste time on this so that you can buy yourself time to escape?"

The Netherworld Manor's Soul Eater Envoy was puzzled. He searched around the place but did not find any useful clues.

"Forget it, this mission is considered a failure. Hateful Underworld God Palace, how dare you go back on your word! I'll make you pay for what happened today! "

He stamped his feet, rose into the sky, and disappeared into Netherheaven.

After he left, the wild wolves that had escaped sneakily ran back.

Seeing that the powerful aura that could cause one's soul to tremble had disappeared, they relaxed and continued to eat the delicious food on the ground.

At dawn, three black-robed figures descended upon this place!

"This …"

The ground was littered with corpses that were mutilated beyond recognition. It was a ghastly sight, causing the three of them to suck in a breath of cold air.

"What a cruel method! Damn the Netherworld Manor!"

"Where is Cao Xuanbin? Has he been taken away? "

The three of them were shocked and angry. They suppressed their disgust and searched the corpses on the ground, trying to find some clues.

Unfortunately, all the corpses were too badly damaged. After a while, they found nothing!

"This is bad. That lord said again and again that we must capture this Cao Xuanbin, but now things have been messed up."

"All the clues are gone. We can't even track Cao Xuanbin now. How are we going to report this?"

The three Netherworld Generals frowned. When they thought of the punishment they might receive because of this, they could not help but hate the Netherworld Manor.

"Which fellow from the Netherworld Manor did this? He is so vicious. Not only did he kill all our people, but he even deliberately fed the corpses to the wolves!"

It was impossible for there to be no casualties from the battle. However, the corpses of the Netherworld Manor's people were all gone. There were traces of them being burned. They must have done this to prevent their companions from becoming food for wild beasts.

However, their attitude toward the assassins from the Netherworld God Palace was obviously different. It was a simple matter, but the culprit refused to let them rest in peace. He insisted that they come and see such a horrifying scene.

This was clearly a provocation and a mockery!

"Now that things have come to this, it will be difficult for us to report to the lord if we go back like this. Why don't we use this place as the center and search for the fellows from the Netherworld Manor? Kill every one we see!"

A Netherworld General's face was full of killing intent.

"Why do we do this?" His companion hesitated slightly. "In Baijing Prefecture, the three dark forces have always maintained a delicate balance and restrained each other. If we do this to the Netherworld Manor, it will probably lead to a bloody battle between the two forces."

"Hmph, look at what they have done! They killed all our people and fed them to the wolves. This is already a clear indication of their attitude! "

"Maybe they found out something from Cao Xuanbin. That's why they dare to be so unscrupulous!"

His companion's words were irrefutable, and everyone's ferocious nature was aroused.

"Alright, use this place as the center and search for the assassins from the Netherworld Manor. Don't kill them when you catch them. See if you can find out where Cao Xuanbin is. If they don't answer, kill them and feed them to the dogs!"

"Also, which force controls this area? There was such a huge commotion here. Maybe some cultivators saw what happened and went to investigate. "

"This area is controlled by the Cloud Mist Sect under the Whale Alliance. According to the information we received, Cao Xuanbin has recently been hiding in the Peng Family in Seven Kill City. The Peng Family was established by an old disciple of the Cloud Mist Sect."

"Hmph, if that's the case, the Cloud Mist Sect is really audacious. Who does the Whale Alliance think they are? How dare they go against the Netherworld God Palace! "

"I'll make a trip to the Cloud Mist Sect. Maybe I can find some clues there."

"Alright, we'll split into three groups!"

The three Netherworld Generals were furious. When they thought about the punishment that Cao Xuanbin might receive if he escaped, they were filled with hostility. They wouldn't rest until they found a scapegoat.

Gu Chen had left the corpses of the assassins from the Netherworld God Palace as a show of force. Unexpectedly, it was like a butterfly flapping its wings, causing a tornado to appear a thousand miles away …

In a remote mountain forest, Cao Xuanbin had just woken up in a naturally formed karst cave.

The moment he woke up, he saw a slender figure in a white robe standing in front of him. The bronze mask on the other party's face had a cold and emotionless luster.

He involuntarily swallowed his saliva and looked around. When he realized that there was only one enemy, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

The current situation was much better than before.

Previously, a group of people had chased after him, and he hadn't been able to sleep well or eat well.

As he carefully recalled everything that had happened last night, he couldn't help but shiver.

Although he had been immobilized the entire time, he could still understand what had happened through his limited vision.

It seemed like this fellow in front of him had single-handedly tricked all the assassins from the Netherworld God Palace and the Netherworld Manor!
