This night in the Green Mist Forest City was not different from any other night: darkness, stars, and people walking the streets of the city at night. But after midnight, something was going on inside the Black Bamboo Group Mansion.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Argh!
"Nooooo!!!"
"De... de... demon!"
Slash!
Screams echoed throughout the mansion. Suddenly a young man soared in and began killing everyone he saw.
"Who… who... who are you!? Don't you know that we are supported by the Chu Clan, one of the three big clans of the city..."
Slash!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
"Even if the three major clans gathered together, I still could wipe them out of this city!" Zheng-Fu did not wait for the man to finish speaking, he quickly swung the sword in his hand. And when the sword returned to its original position, the other party's head had already detached from his body.
"Hurry up! Hurry up and send someone to report to Chu Clan!"
A middle-aged man shouted in terror. And he was none other than the Black Bamboo Group Chief, the strongest in the Group. However, since this incident had begun, he had not been able to do anything to Zheng-Fu. He could only watch Zheng-Fu slaughter his people one by one without blinking.
"Please... please... please, Master! Please spare us! We never harmed you, please spare us!" Seeing Zheng-Fu walking closer and closer, the Black Bamboo Group Chief chose the last way, which was the most cowardly way. But he did not care about anything now. As long as he can survive, that was enough.
"Spare your life!? You guys dare to cooperate with the demons to harm this city, including the Heavenly Command Sect. And you teamed up with the people who secretly followed me. Then you're going to let me spare your lives?"
No!
No!
Noooooo!!!
Slash!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Zheng-Fu did not want to waste any time talking or negotiating with the other party. Because he came here to wipe out the Black Bamboo Group from this world. Therefore, no matter how these people asked for their lives, he did not care.
After Zheng-Fu killed the Black Bamboo Group's chief, he killed the rest of them in the blink of an eye. Tonight, he had already turned into a brutal assassin. And when no one left alive, Zheng-Fu vanished from the Black Bamboo Group Mansion, leaving no trace for anyone to ascertain him.
The next morning...
The news of the Black Bamboo Group being wiped out spread throughout the city and became big news which shocked the citizens of the Green Mist Forest quite a bit. However, despite this news being horrendous, the locals and many people were happy that the wicked Black Bamboo Group had been wiped out.
"What a terrible event this is. I wonder who they managed to provoke so much that they were eradicated without a single one left like this."
"Right now, the city's three main clans are investigating. Especially the City Governor's clan who worked hard. But still can't find the culprit!"
"If they find them, how can they deal with them? Even the extremely strong Black Bamboo Group was wiped out in one night without anyone knowing."
"That's right! I think the one who did it might be the Half-deity stage martial master. Because only the cultivators of that level could act so quietly and in just a short time like this."
"A half-deity stage martial master? And what would someone of such a level be doing in our city? Besides, these past few days, I haven't seen anyone who looks like a Half-deity stage martial master."
"Hmm! But no matter whose actions they may be, I'm very grateful to him for doing such a thing. Because eliminating the Black Bamboo Group has made our city a much more livable place!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"That's right!"
People were making all sorts of speculations regarding the person responsible. No one expected that he would be just a young man who was now sleeping happily in his room.
In the main hall of the Green Mist Forest Escort Agency…
"And is this news true?" Zhang-Feng asked after hearing the rumors that reached the Escort Agency.
"I have sent people to the city to investigate. This news was confirmed by the City Governor's clan. The Black Bamboo Group was completely wiped out. There isn't a single person left alive, Master!" The young man who was in charge of investigating the truth of the rumors replied with a serious expression.
"How can it be like this? Black Bamboo Group is as strong as our Escort Agency. But it was swept away in one night without anyone knowing. I really want to know who they have offended! Zhang-Feng's expression was full of doubt. He had no idea who had done it.
"Father!!! Do you remember Younger Brother Zheng-Fu's words before he left?" Suddenly, Zhang-Long remembered something. He stared at his father with serious eyes and asked him.
"Huh!? Are you going to tell me that it was Nephew Zheng-Fu's work?" Zhang-Feng asked his son back. It was not that he did not have such thoughts. It was just that it was too unlikely to be possible. But when he thought carefully, he found a high possibility.
"I'm not sure. But from what he said, the second gift is not just for us, Green Mist Forest Escort Agency, but also given to the people of Green Mist Forest City. So, I think there are more than five parts of the possibility that it's Younger Brother Zheng-Fu's action!" Zhang-Long was not fully convinced. But he thought there was a great possibility when he recalled Zheng-Fu's words.
"No way! There's no way that's the case! How could that kid do that? There's no way he can do it!" Suddenly, the Escort Agency Grand Elder spoke with anxiety. Now, his face was covered with countless beads of cold sweat. He absolutely refused to believe this. He would never believe that it was Zheng-Fu's work. Because if it was true, he would be in deep trouble.
"Why do you seem so confident that it wasn't Younger Brother Zheng-Fu's work? Or did you keep an eye on him all the time?" Zhang-Long retorted. The Grand Elder's expression caused him to be extremely suspicious.
Gulp!
"No... no! I never send anyone to keep an eye on him. I just don't think it's possible, because I… I can't feel his energy level at all. Then how could it be him?" When the Grand Elder saw the curious gazes of everyone looking at him, he swallowed a large gulp of saliva and quickly made excuses.
"No matter who he was, it's good that such an evil group was wiped out. Because if we let them stay longer, we don't know what will happen to our Green Mist Forest City."
Umm!!!
Zhang-Feng's words made everyone nod in agreement. Only the Grand Elder kept a still face, which was quite unusual for him. Zhang-Long kept observing and felt that the Grand Elder had changed a lot today. He seemed absent-minded and even stuttered.
At the main hall of the Chu Clan...
Bang!
"How could something like this happen? Who did it!?" The Chu Clan Leader shouted angrily after receiving the news that the Black Bamboo Group, which he invested and put in so much effort, was destroyed last night. His expression and mood had completely changed.
"Right now, we still haven't received any clues about the one who took action, sir, Clan Leader. People living around the Black Bamboo Group Mansion said they had heard nothing last night. Everything was so normal that no one knew that there had been a killing inside, sir!" a middle-aged man in charge of investigating the news immediately reported more to his clan leader.
"How is it possible! From what I saw inside, there was a fierce fight. How could there be no sound?" Hearing such an explanation, the Chu Clan Leader's expression became even more distorted. He went to look at the crime scene and found that within the mansion there were several battle marks. How could there be no sound at all?
"We don't know about that either, sir. The villagers confirmed that there was no sound of fighting last night. In that area, many families have babies. If there was such a violent fight, the babies would surely wake up and cry. But none of these at all, sir!"
"Damn it!"
"I think this is very strange. Your two men, whom we sent to watch out for that suspicious young man, have not returned yet. And now the Black Bamboo Group that you supported has also been wiped out. It must not be the action of the citizens of this city. The one who did it had to come from outside. And it's probably the work of that young man!"
Huh!!?
"You're saying it's the work of that young man? How is it possible!? If that kid was really strong, we would have sensed it. But we can't sense the energy of a strongman from him at all." Chu clan Leader shook his head in disbelief. They could not figure out how a newcomer who had a relationship with the Escort Agency's Young Master could do it.
"What we do not expect in this world can always happen. It might be true. So, then we should send someone to check on that kid again. But you must be careful not to make any more moves than necessary. Because it could cause suspicion to the people from the Escort Agency and the other two main clans!"
The black-robed man continued to speak with a straight expression. As if he was not shocked or bothered about it. But actually, beneath this face was filled with various worries and emotions. He was afraid that the one who did it would be a great skilled martial master from the Heavenly Command Sect hiding in this city.
"I understood!" Chu Clan Leader hurriedly accepted and turned to command his subordinates. "Send someone to check that kid. But don't let him know. If there is anything suspicious, report back to me immediately. As for the others, you guys should do everything as usual. Don't make yourself suspicious or get noticed!"
"Yes, sir, Clan Leader!!"
In the main hall of the City Governor's residence...
"City Governor, I checked the surrounding area and asked everyone nearby and none of them saw any suspicious people. And no sound came from there, sir. As for the travelers during this time, no one is suspicious. There was only one young man who seemed to be close to Green Mist Forest Escort Agency's Young Master. But I have checked and found that he stayed in the Eternal Tavern last night until morning. The owner of the tavern confirmed it himself, sir!"
Huh!?
"A newcomer but close to Young Master from Green Mist Forest Escort Agency? Can you check his history? Did he register before entering the city?" This point made the City Governor very interested. He urgently wanted to know that young man's background.
"No, sir! At the time he entered the city, Escort Agency's Young Master brought him in and certified him by himself, sir. So, the guard at the gate didn't have him register and record his profile, sir!" a middle-aged man wearing full military armor immediately replied with a worried expression.
"Is that so? If so…"
"Father! Would it be better to let me take care of this matter? I'll go ask that man myself!"
Ah!
Bei-Li!?
