Chapter 85 Another Storm Begins
Chapter 85 Another Storm Begins
Sushanfang.
The Sushan management office was also attacked, and the old manager Zhang Jingzhai didn't dare to go out for several days until the Huaguoshan route reopened and the Yimu shuttle brought super exciting news.
The message says: The Great Sage has appeared to save Cai Fei, the son of Aolai!
Sushanfang sent hundreds of ordinary people and dozens of cultivators to participate in Haixing this time. Seven days later, the busiest period was over, and most of them were sent home.
As these people landed on the shuttle, the entire Baizijian area immediately erupted in chaos.
The inn, the streets, the hotels, the teahouses, the casinos... all the open spaces in the market were filled with people who were listening to the people who had returned from Haixing gesticulating wildly, talking animatedly and vividly about the great battle that had taken place seven days earlier over Huaguo Mountain.
The Three Evils of Aolai descended upon Flower Fruit Mountain with the Stealing Bird. The old dean broke through the sky with the Mountain and Sea Seal, and the pacification envoy used the Dragon Binding Style to attack. Cai Fei made incredible aerial maneuvers. In the end, when all hope seemed lost, the Great Sage appeared and saved his life!
The Great Sage remained silent for a hundred years, yet he showed up to save Cai Fei's life at a critical moment. What does this signify?
This proves that Cai Fei is indeed the son of Ao Lai!
A once-in-a-century innate cultivator, the heir of Renyi Wujia Village, the son of the eccentric couple Chen Jinghai and Chu Shanyun, a super genius who scored full marks in both divination and the four arts...
Cai Fei's legendary story is once again being talked about by countless people. Of course, all of this combined is not even one-tenth as significant as the story of "the Great Sage appearing to save him".
Cai Fei has now become the savior of Aolai appointed by the Great Sage, his prestige has reached its peak!
The emergence of such a figure, coinciding with the lifting of restrictions in Aolai and the opening of the Great Wilderness, signifies what?
This shows that after a century of suffering, fate is finally about to smile upon Aolai!
Before anything was accomplished, Cai Fei had already become a spiritual totem for many people in Aolai!
Whether ordinary people or cultivators, everyone was immersed in the excitement of witnessing this momentous event.
However, this excitement came to an abrupt end at noon.
Just after noon, a group that was heading west suddenly fled back to Sushanfang in a panic.
Soon, people learned that a tragedy had occurred a dozen miles to the west—directly west of the market town, at the junction of the basin and the mountains, a cultivator and twenty-three ordinary people, a total of 24 people, had been pierced from their anus to the top of their heads by a thick iron spear, and their bodies were hung by the roadside.
The words "Those who protect my homeland shall die!" were written in blood on the ground, and three bloody skulls were drawn next to them, which was the mark of the infamous pirate organization, Ghost Sail.
Within fifteen minutes, Kong Fande and Lao Guan arrived one after the other.
Kong Fande didn't even land. He just flew his sword low, took a close look at the Blood Skull, and then flew westward without saying a word, his face ashen.
The scene was terrifying and bloody, but many of the cultivators from Aolai were brave enough to come and watch the spectacle.
The old steward brought two officers with him. He told them to examine the body, while he sat down on a rock by the forest, staring blankly at a few blackened blood-red characters.
"These are the people from the Chu family who returned from Haixing." The two officers identified everyone under the iron spear, then approached the old steward and whispered, "Should we collect the bodies?"
More than twenty corpses were pierced and were in extremely gruesome condition. The two young officers had only been in Aolai for a few years and had been active in the market. They had never seen such a scene before. At this moment, their faces were ashen and their lips were purple. One of them was even trembling uncontrollably.
The old steward frowned, reached out and tugged at the man's collar, and hissed, "What are you afraid of? We're from Heaven. Put on your hat, dress neatly, and make sure your badge is clearly visible. Even if you had ten lives, they wouldn't dare lay a finger on you!"
"yes!"
The two junior officers quickly put on their hats, which clearly bore the insignia of the Nine Heavens, and hung their waist tags in conspicuous positions.
The old steward soared into the air on his sword, channeling his magic power as he shouted, "Zhang Jingzhai is here! Since Gui Fan has the audacity to commit murder and hang the corpse in broad daylight, dare you show yourself!"
The rumbling sound echoed for miles around, and villagers in the nearby basin hurriedly took cover. Countless birds and wild animals were startled into flight from the woods to the west.
A moment later, a signal talisman flew up from several miles away. When it unfolded, it revealed three hideous skulls. After hovering in the air for a few seconds, it turned into smoke and dissipated. Then a sinister voice rang out: "We are people who can't be seen by others. What's the big deal about killing a few people in Aolai? You old codger, don't meddle too much."
The old steward shouted, "My family's ridge belongs to the people of Sushan Ward, and I'm determined to govern it. If you have the guts, come and kill me!"
The sound waves roared like thunder, pushing layer upon layer towards the location where the signal symbol was emitted, but this time there was no response.
The old steward landed and instructed his two assistants, "Let the Chu family handle the body collection themselves. You two go on patrol. Don't be afraid, circle around the area within a mile several times. This is the face of our Heavenly Court. If they dare to touch you, I'll turn all their ghost sails into real ghosts!"
The two officers nervously rode paper kites marked with the Nine Heavens symbol to patrol, while the old steward sat on a rock with a furrowed brow, waiting anxiously for the Chu family to arrive.
A full hour passed, and no one from the Chu family arrived. Instead, Kong Fande returned to the scene, his unsheathed sword stained with blood, and his clothes charred in patches, indicating that he had not only fought but also injured someone.
"The Chu family can't get out. Huihui asked me to deliver a message that we need your help to cremate them and send them back." Kong Fande said gravely as he dismounted from his flying sword and spoke in detail to the old steward.
It turns out that the Chu family suffered a heavy blow this time, attacked from all four directions, with the total number of dead and injured exceeding one hundred. The dead were all impaled and hung by the roadside, and even more than a dozen people were exposed to the sun at the entrance of the village.
Those who made the move included Ghost Sail, Blood Hand, Wind and Rain Tower, and the Thirteen Families.
They demanded that the Chu family drive away the people of Wujialing, or they would exterminate the entire family.
Although Chu Huihui is currently the chief of the Chu family, the one who truly makes the decisions is Elder Chu Zhengshan, who unfortunately has not returned from Haixing in Huaguo Mountain.
The Chu family then used this as an excuse to request a few more days to respond.
The four companies gave them a three-day deadline.
"Fengyulou?" The old steward looked at Kong Fande in surprise, thinking to himself, "Aren't you one of the three leaders of Fengyulou? How come you didn't know that Fengyulou was killing people in Sushanfang?"
"It's rare for the three of us to get together. We usually go our separate ways. This time, someone's got greedy eyes," Kong Fande said with a wry smile.
"All of you, come and help!" Kong Fande waved to the crowd, beckoning several of his men over. Then, he clasped his hands in farewell to the old steward, saying, "I'll leave this to you. I still need to go to Huaguo Mountain to inform Chu Zhengshan. My son-in-law also asked me to pass on a message to Cai Fei: tell him to stay alive to seek revenge, and whatever you do, don't come home. Sigh..."
After saying his farewell, Kong Fande rode his flying sword straight to Flower Fruit Mountain.
Tell Cai Fei not to go home?
The old steward stood there stunned for a moment before calling the two officers back. While directing everyone to take the body down for cremation, he pondered the news brought by Kong Fande.
