Chapter 451: Chapter 271: Underneath My Feet Is an Endless Sea of Blood, This Cultivation Technique Is Named ’Devouring Heaven’. _2
The roaring sound suddenly echoed across the entire hillside.
"NO!!"
"THEY MUSTN’T LIVE!!"
"KILL THEM!"
Wang Baiqiao’s expression was sinister as he pulled at the corner of his mouth.
There were more than a dozen strongholds around Xiegu City, and the strength of their leaders was roughly similar. Not long ago, a mysterious benefactor had given him a Killing Pill. Seizing this opportunity, he had successfully broken through to the Nascent Soul realm. That benefactor had instructed him to unite all the mountain bandit strongholds outside Xiegu City. Although he knew there was certainly something suspicious about it, he had received a favor and felt obligated to repay it.
Moreover, uniting the mountains of Xiegu City had been his dream for many years.
But he didn’t want to rely solely on martial force, which could lead to a Pyrrhic victory for all involved. For now, he needed to establish his dominance and use this act to make his intentions clear to the dozen or so other strongholds.
"Xiaohou Village dares to shelter those two? Are we to let them live?"
His words were cold, his eyes blood-red, and the Evil Qi within him roiled like a torrent.
He wanted to know just how miraculous this so-called Evil Qi cultivation technique truly was!
"NO!!"
"THEY MUSTN’T LIVE!!"
"KILL THEM AND AVENGE OUR THIRD LEADER!!"
He exhaled sharply, a savage expression on his face as he declared, "TONIGHT, WE WIPE OUT THE VILLAGE!!"
"AVENGE OUR THIRD LEADER!"
"ROAR—"
The roar instantly reverberated between heaven and earth.
"THOSE WHO OFFEND MY WOLF DEN SHALL BE WIPED FROM EXISTENCE!!"
"KILL!!"
The thunder of hooves, the whistle of arrows, the shriek of weapons tearing through the air.
The dark clouds overhead parted, revealing the bright, clear moon.
The moonlight was chillingly cold.
Blood, mixed with screams and cries for help, bloomed under the moonlight.
Like crimson hibiscus flowers.
——BLOOMING.
...
The gentle fragrance of osmanthus drifted through the air, its blossoms clustered like emeralds.
Sunlight gently spilled through the small attic window, and the faint scent of paintings drifted idly on the breeze.
Su Beitong and Ji Nanjue opened their eyes at the same time, their gazes meeting.
"Husband, I don’t know why, but I feel an inexplicable panic in my heart."
Su Bei looked at Ji Nanjue, his right eyelid twitching violently, his expression similarly somber as he nodded.
At their level of cultivation, their instincts often gave them premonitions.
He rose, dressed, and stepped outside.
A few petals, gently caught by the wind, detached from his fingers and fluttered unsteadily towards his eyes.
Li Zijun was already awake. Sunlight caressed her delicate cheeks, seeming to bestow upon them a soft, gentle radiance.
She looked at Su Bei, whose face was somewhat somber. After a slight curtsy and a moment’s thought, she asked softly, "Elder Su, Sister Nan Ji, good morning..."
"Where are you going?"
"..."
Su Bei looked at Li Zijun, and a warm smile touched his lips as he said, "Good morning, Miss Zijun."
"We’re going to Xiaofeng Cliff to pick a hibiscus flower."
An osmanthus petal quietly landed on Li Zijun’s eyelashes; another rested on her lips.
Her jade-like hand slowly plucked the petal from her eyelashes. Then, with a gentle puff of breath, the petal on her lips twirled down to the ground and vanished into the grass.
She lowered her gaze, her brow furrowed slightly as if in thought, and then softly pleaded, "Elder Su, Zi Jun also wishes to visit Xiaofeng Cliff."
"Zi Jun once promised Uncle Wang to visit his home..."
"At the very least... Zi Jun must give his daughter the hairband he bought for her."
"..."
Su Bei frowned slightly and asked, "But what about your injuries?"
Li Zijun spun around on the spot and said with a smile, "They’re no longer serious."
Su Bei sighed.
He still felt a sense of guilt for killing Uncle Wang.
Then he nodded.
The scenery at Xiaofeng Cliff was exceptionally beautiful.
If not for that incident,
he thought,
every part of this place would be captivating enough to make one reluctant to leave.
"SCREECH! SCREECH!"
A crane soared across the sky, circled above Xiaofeng Cliff, then spread its wings and glided into the distance.
Finally, on the precipice, Su Bei spotted the vibrant red, blooming hibiscus flower.
A smile touched his lips. He plucked it and waved it at the two women.
"Is this it?"
Ji Nanjue smiled at Su Bei and teased, "My husband is so capable, he even knows how to pick flowers."
Su Bei was speechless.
Li Zijun, as always, wore a gentle smile as she observed the scene before her.
She gently crouched down, made a small mound of earth, and buried Uncle Wang’s two taels of silver within it.
"Uncle Wang... Zi Jun is the one who caused your death."
She had learned the meaning of the hibiscus flower from Ji Nanjue. She also knew that Uncle Wang, who had always traveled with merchant caravans, had a daughter about to come of age—a daughter who was waiting for his flower...
What should have been a day of reunion would now forever be marked by his absence.
Perhaps that girl, about her own age, was at this very moment wearing a new silk dress, her small face beaming with happiness. Maybe she was waiting, before a cake with unblown candles, for Uncle Wang to personally place the hibiscus flower on top.
"Uncle Wang, Zi Jun will ensure the disciples of the Confucian School take care of your widow."
"Please... just don’t hate Zi Jun for this..."
Su Beitong and Ji Nanjue stood together, silently watching Li Zijun as she knelt on the ground.
After a while, she gently stood up and smiled softly at Su Bei.
"Elder Su, let’s go..."
...
"Husband..."
Ji Nanjue’s gaze turned grave. She glanced at Su Bei, the Spiritual Energy around her steadily solidifying.
"Such a heavy stench of blood..."
The Qingping Sword had already shot out from Su Bei’s Sword Box. It now floated in the air, following closely behind him.
"It’s coming from the direction of Xiaohou Village!"
An ominous feeling instantly gripped Su Bei’s heart. The three exchanged a look and immediately accelerated, flying swiftly towards Xiaohou Village.
