Chapter 391: Exterminating An Entire Family

Night.

Dark clouds were covering the moon.In the Yun Nation, over 20 people were gathered not far away from Qingfeng City, looking at a torch on the city wall. Leading the group was a burly man who was almost a little giant. He was carrying two double bladed axes on his back.The assassination of the Seventh Prince of Great Xia was executed by a group he led.

This time, he was leading a group to exterminate the entire family of the Yun Nation’s Qingfeng City’s warlord. The main function of the Department of Inspection involved covert matters. One of its functions was to investigate, but this was only nominally the case because the aboriginals found it easier to torture their captives to get information than to investigate secretly.Another one of its responsibilities was to perform these exterminations.However, the empress was a straightforward person who simply chopped off the heads of anyone she disliked. As a result, she rarely needed to deploy them.Conversely, they were called upon twice this year, and to these agents who did nothing besides practicing martial arts daily, they shed tears of gratitude that Her Majesty finally remembered them.There were only around 100 people in the Department of Inspection, and the lowest level official was at the Earth Wheel level. However, they were different from the winged cavalry that were adept at charging into battlefields. They were like the sect practitioners from Great Xia and more suited for one to one confrontations.

“Even the moon isn’t shining. It is an opportune time to kill people tonight.””Sir, when are we entering the city?” someone behind him asked in the dark.”We need to execute this mission in a clean cut manner. Her Majesty’s orders are to exterminate the entire family and not to spare anyone. Do not forget to find out the location of the treasury.” Hong Bao waved his hands. “Let’s go!”Subsequently, a line of men proceeded under the cover of night to approach the city and took advantage of the gaps in the patrolling defenders to sneak into the city.It was about 10PM. To the people in this world, who usually worked from sunrise to sunset, it was high time to rest.

However, a precious few drunkards were roaming late at night on the lanes of the red-light district, having fun, and drinking alcohol.

The line of people moved along the remote and dark areas, but as Hong Bao jumped over a wall, he felt that something was out of place and that there seemed to be somebody vomiting on the wall.Hong Bao adjusted his body while in midair and aimed both legs downward to land on the back of that guy. The weight of his huge body, in addition to the two axes on his back, caused the person underneath him to fall with a snap and then become motionless.

There were originally two people in the alley, the one who vomited and another drunkard.In the end, the appearance of a burly man in midair landing on the other person and rendering him senseless sort of sobered up the drunkard. He thought of shouting, but the huge palm of Hong Bao hit him on the head and slammed it forcefully against the wall, causing it to burst like a watermelon. More than 20 shadows went by behind Hong Bao and landed with muted thuds.Pow. Only one person landed with a different sound.When everyone turned to look at him, they could see the fresh vomit on the soles of his shoes under the dim light.The vomit splashed on the bodies of the others as he landed on his big feet.Those around him glared menacingly at him, and he was the only one bearing an innocent look.”Catch someone to ask about the location of the warlord’s residence.” They suppressed their desire to wallop this guy after Hong Bao’s voice reminded them of the importance of the mission.

As the shadows departed, there were sounds of bodies colliding in the small alleys.After a short while, everyone came to a large area that bounded the huge residence. “Kill everyone, but temporarily leave a few important people alive to find out the location of the treasury.” When Hong Bao waved his hands, everyone drew their weapons as they vaulted over the walls to enter the courtyard.

Some guards who were patrolling were caught unaware and had their heads cut off by these invaders that suddenly appeared from the shadows.The splattering of blood and the sound of the falling corpses alarmed those further away.

“Who is that? What are those sounds?”Some figures silently rushed to where the voices were coming from while the rest dispersed in different directions.”Who are you? Ahh!” The howlings of these people before they died alerted the people inside the residence. They hastily ran out and were welcomed by all kinds of weapons. The warlord of Qingfeng City, Ye Ke, heard of the commotion and asked in a low voice, “What’s happening?””Sir, I think there are assassins.””Oh!” Ye Ke nodded his head and wasn’t too concerned. He had done many things in his lifetime, so the number of people seeking revenge against him were too numerous. Nonetheless, he was still living well.He had full confidence in the guards protecting him.

Besides the ordinary guards, there were dozens of Man Wheel practitioners and seven Earth Wheel consecrated experts.

This kind of power was definitely not inferior to that of the middle-class aristocratic families in Great Xia.

Up until now, nobody had been able to breach the defenses and get near him. Most of the intruders didn’t even get to see his face before they were skinned and hung up on the city walls.He assumed that this time would be the same as before and that the matter would be resolved quickly.Even as the screams of the guards being killed got closer and closer, he was still not fazed.Two Earth Wheel consecrated experts appeared and blocked the intruders, but seeing the larger than normal figures in the dark caused them to ask in shock, “Aboriginals? What are you all doing here?”

One, two, three, they saw seven or eight of them right here, and there were screams coming from somewhere further away.

These must certainly be aboriginals.”A life for a life. A debt must be repaid!” A burly man carrying a mace displayed his white teeth in the dark like a menacing wild beast.”Kill!” that burly man shouted as he leaped over ten meters and thrusted his mace across.Seeing the power of the thrust from this mace was enough for the two Earth Wheel experts to know it was futile to resist.

Boom! The mace smashed on the floor, shattering the slate into shards that flew all over the place.Although the two consecrated experts managed to escape this blow, they experienced cold fear upon seeing the rest of the figures jump over.

Earth Wheel, these were all Earth Wheel experts.

The two consecrated experts quickly recalled the incident that had happened in the city one month ago.Despite being at war, they never expected the aboriginals to be so vindictive that they would sneak into the Yun Nation all because of that seemingly small matter from a month ago.Both of them belatedly felt regret. If they had known, they would have stopped Ye Ke that day and simply left if they couldn’t persuade him.”Just name your terms!” both men shouted.The other party simply ignored the two of them and quietly waved their weapons menacingly.The intent was to wipe out everyone.Seeing that these people were not going to relent, the two guys bellowed at their fellow consecrated experts for help.”Who is here to cause trouble in my house?” the warlord shouted from inside his house.Three other consecrated experts who heard the cries for help instantly came out of their houses that were next to the warlord’s residence. They appeared inside the warlord’s residence in no time. They were surrounded by five burly men the moment they stepped in.”Aboriginals?” The three were shocked to see these people around them….

“Warlord, bad news, the aboriginals are here!”After hearing these screams, Ye Ke hastily tumbled out of bed and asked, “What’s the matter?””The aboriginals, they are all Earth Wheel experts. We can’t stop them. Both consecrated experts Chi and Yu have already perished!” Ye Ke turned green with fear as he heard these words.There was no need for him to figure out why the aboriginals were here.The reason he dared to loot the aboriginal caravans was because the aboriginals were at war with Great Xia, the greatest country in this world.What could the aboriginals do if he looted their caravans? Did those barbarians have the ability to find him?Great Xia had already taken action. In addition, the Yun Nation was going to attack, so the aboriginals would be considered alright if their country wasn’t destroyed.He never expected that Great Xia would be defeated so quickly, and his impression of Great Xia as the most powerful country was totally eradicated.However, he wasn’t too worried because the troops from the Yun Nation were still on the frontline. Thus, the aboriginals could do nothing to him.He had completely not expected for the aboriginals to sneak into the Yun Nation so quickly and ruthlessly to seek revenge.

Barbarians! Bloody barbarians! They didn’t look at the overall situation. They were engaged in a war and still sought revenge against him for such a small matter.It was useless to curse them now. Since he couldn’t resist them, it was more important to run for his life.”Master? What should we do?” the concubine on the bed asked fearfully. Although she didn’t know how powerful the barbarians were, she had heard of them. Since the defense had been breached, what should they do?The frightened Ye Ke didn’t say anything. He put on his clothes and smashed open the rear window because it was too risky to escape from the front, which was where the barbarians had entered from.He only needed to run out of his residence and hide in the barracks to be safe.As for the his concubine, he could marry more later on. Renewal could only take place when the old were discarded first.Even if his sons were to perish, he could raise some more, not to mention that concubine of his. “Master!” The cry came from behind him, but Ye Ke didn’t even turn to look.After only running for a short distance, he heard the screams of people being killed ringing out from in front of him.It wasn’t only coming from the front court, but also from the backyard.”How many barbarians are actually here?” Ye Ke was getting paler.He was starting to regret now.However, it was useless to regret.The question was where could he run to.Ye Ke was sweating profusely as he inspected the dark surroundings. His eyes lit up when he saw an old water tank under the eaves not too far away.That place looked remote and was unlikely to attract attention.

It was safer to hide there than to run around wildly at the risk of bumping into those barbarians.

…

Midnight massacre.

The guards within the city immediately sent out their soldiers to rescue the warlord after learning about the attack, but were blocked by seven or eight people outside the residence. It was still dark in the city, and to these ordinary soldiers, the seven or eight aboriginals were like seven or eight death gods. They immediately charged into the crowd to kill the soldiers. Within a quarter of an hour, the 1,000 soldiers that were here to rescue the warlord had been slaughtered and sent scattering in all directions.At this moment, Hong Bao was standing in the bedroom where Ye Ke had been. The concubine was curled up on the bed shivering.Hong Bao lifted the quilt to reveal a naked body.

“Your skin is smoother and more tender than that of the girls in the brothels,” Hong Bao said covetously.”Sir, please spare me, spare me. I’ll do whatever you want.” The concubine didn’t hide her body and squatted on the bed to beg for her life.”Her Majesty said not to spare anyone!” Hong Bao felt regret as he hit that concubine with his palm and blood spurted out.

“Find him! That bastard was specifically mentioned by Her Majesty and must be found,” Hong Bao ordered to those behind him.The seven or eight people behind him dispersed in different directions.Meanwhile, the massacre still continued a distance away in the city.Hong Bao sat in the room with his huge axes overlapping each other. As the time was about to approach daylight, it seemed that there were no living people to be found in the warlord’s residence, but the warlord was nowhere to be found.”Is the location of the treasury known?””Yes, in the backyard.””The rest will continue the search. I will take a look at the treasury.””Sir, the troops from the barracks should be here soon,” someone said.It had taken some time to repel two batches of soldiers, but it was almost morning now, so the soldiers from the barracks currently shouldn’t be far away. “Lead the way. Half of you follow me to the treasury.” Hong Bao had walked halfway there when he asked, “Who knows how to write?”

Everyone behind him looked at each other. They could barely read a few words, so writing was pretty difficult. Finally, someone stepped forward and said proudly, “Sir, I know how!””Find a conspicuous place to write: ‘A life for a life. A debt must be repaid. The killer is your uncle.’ We have a reason for doing this,” Hong Bao whispered. This instruction from Officer Ren had been passed down to him through the radio station. “I will do my best,” that burly man said as he patted his chest.Then, he entered the hall, dragged two corpses back, and pondered for a long time. He then gesticulated at the floor, looked up at the brightening sky, and hesitated before writing big letters on the wall in blood: “Kill people XX. Owe money must X. The killer is your X.”He retreated a few steps to look at the wall, saw the numerous X’s, threw away the cloth he had used for writing to the side, and muttered, “Sir, I did my best. They should be able to understand? If they do not understand, then it is their fault.”
