"Quick, go inside and check!"
In the surge of emotion, a group of Furious Whale disciples who had rushed over broke into Master Cai’s house.
This included Zhang Yuan.
The scene in the front courtyard left everyone speechless.
Corpses were lying in disarray on the ground; some were unrecognizable, some had caved-in chests, others had twisted limbs, each dying a gruesome death!
Massacre!
A word simultaneously appeared in everyone’s mind.
"Who are you?"
Suddenly, someone shouted angrily, drawing their Yanling Saber.
The long blade pointed toward the main hall.
The Furious Whale disciples couldn’t help but look in the direction, and saw a man in fine robes with his legs crossed sitting on the main seat in the hall.
Beside him stood a middle-aged man in a gray robe with a cold expression!
In front of the robed man lay a woman whose clothes were half torn off.
Her white shoulder was exposed half.
Though her face was unclear, her unmoving body and the blood-stained ground indicated she was lifeless.
Beside the woman, there was a breathless young boy.
The boy’s neck had been brutally twisted!
This sight made the Furious Whale disciples who had rushed into the hall rage with bloodshot eyes.
Anger flared, and they drew their weapons, ready to hack the robed man to death!
"How dare you!"
The middle-aged man in the gray robe suddenly shouted: "This man is a Celestial Being from Nanxun, and you dare to disrespect the venerable? Aren’t you afraid of your entire family’s extermination?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly struck out with his palm.
Bang!
A chair five steps away instantly shattered into pieces!
True Qi External Release Sky Splitting Palm!
The shout of the gray-robed man, along with this strike, was like a bucket of ice water, dousing the Furious Whale disciples whose eyes were red with rage!
Celestial Being!
The one who broke into Wu Manor and killed everyone was actually a Celestial Being.
Someone whom even a Tier Four True Qi Martial Artist would serve as a humble servant!
Not to mention these ordinary Furious Whale members, even the Hall Master Elder or the Squad Leader couldn’t afford to offend such a figure.
Moreover, with the protection of a True Qi Martial Artist, how could they avenge Master Cai?
"Hahaha!"
At this moment, the robed man sitting on the main seat laughed.
He was in his early twenties, rather handsome, clearly a scion used to luxury.
However, the madness and malevolence in his eyes made this Celestial Being appear deranged and twisted: "Why don’t you make a move? Are all Furious Whale Gang members cowards?"
Pointing at the woman’s corpse in front of him, he laughed sinisterly: "This woman looked quite alluring. I wanted to play with her, but she refused. Didn’t she deserve to die?"
Such deranged words made the Furious Whale disciples’ blood boil, with many clenching their fists and weapons.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly tensed.
"Wan Rong!"
At this moment, a tall and burly man rushed in anxiously.
"Master Cai!"
The Furious Whale disciples hastily made way.
Zhang Yuan recognized him as Cai Zhirui, the Incense Master of the Outer Hall.
Though not familiar with him, Zhang Yuan had seen him a few times and heard Chen Zhize mention him.
His reputation wasn’t bad.
No one would have expected such a disaster to befall him today!
Celestial Being!
Amidst the crowd, Zhang Yuan looked at the robed man, recalling the Tower Ship on the Celestial Horse River a few days ago.
The figure standing in the top room then was unmistakably this lunatic!
A madman, indeed!
Seeing the corpses on the ground, Cai Zhirui seemed struck by lightning, his eyes reddening, unable to speak.
The robed man, however, seemed amused, his eyes lighting up as he licked his lips and snickered: "So you’re the husband of this woman? Tsk tsk tsk!"
"Pity you grew so big for nothing, cannot satisfy your own wife so she sells herself outside."
"You should reflect on yourself and maybe take more medicine!"
Cai Zhirui’s face turned beet red, veins bulging on his forehead, his anger reaching its peak.
He had just arrived after receiving news, only to find his family massacred, his beloved wife and child brutally killed.
Now, hearing the foul words of the robed man, his fury became uncontrollable.
Just as Cai Zhirui was about to fight desperately, a Furious Whale disciple quickly whispered something into his ear.
Cai Zhirui looked in disbelief at the robed man and then at the sneering gray-robed man beside him.
The color drained from his face!
"Hahaha!"
The robed man laughed heartily, slapping his thigh in amusement, tears streaming from his eyes.
While Cai Zhirui stood still, completely motionless.
Everyone could see his despair and pain at that moment.
The robed man, having laughed enough, reached into his robe, took out several silver notes, and tossed them onto Cai Zhirui’s wife’s corpse.
This Celestial Being said lazily: "This is for you, take it and buy a new wife, lucky for you."
He stared at the unresponsive Cai Zhirui: "What? Dissatisfied?"
Cai Zhirui’s lips moved a little, speaking hoarsely: "Th-thank you, Venerable."
The robed man frowned: "Is this all you have to say?"
Cai Zhirui bowed his head, slowly kneeling on the ground.
Everyone was stunned.
Many Furious Whale disciples looked at the Incense Master with eyes full of disdain!
Cai Zhirui knelt, moving his legs little by little until he reached his wife.
Then he picked up the silver notes and held them high with both hands: "Thank you, Venerable, for the reward!"
The gray-robed man sneered instantly.
The Furious Whale disciples present were all deeply ashamed.
Cai Zhirui was so cowardly, completely disgracing the Linhai Sub-Branch!
"Good, good!"
The robed man couldn’t stop laughing: "What a good dog!"
He stepped forward, stepping on Lady Cai’s corpse, bent over, and patted Cai Zhirui’s head.
As if he were patting an obedient animal.
At that moment, an intense light flashed in Cai Zhirui’s eyes.
His right arm shook suddenly, and a sharp dagger silently slipped from his sleeve.
He gripped it tightly.
The next moment, the gleaming blade, moved with lightning speed towards the robed man’s neck!
This strike was Cai Zhirui’s full-force attack.
Thud!
Blood splattered, the robed man’s head instantly fell to the ground!
This sudden change stunned everyone present.
Even Cai Zhirui, holding the blade, was dumbfounded, unable to believe he had really beheaded a Celestial Being.
He was determined to die, only thinking of making one last move.
Simply joining his family in death.
The outcome was too unexpected!
"How courageous!"
The gray-robed man reacted a moment too late, instantly enraged, and struck Cai Zhirui heavily with his palm.
Bang!
Cai Zhirui was hit by the Sky Splitting Palm, his chest suddenly caving in.
He was involuntarily thrown backwards.
Blood gushed from his mouth, unclear how many bones broke, as he crashed into the Furious Whale disciples behind him.
Chaos ensued!
"You all must die!"
After gravely wounding Cai Zhirui, the gray-robed man wasn’t satisfied, raising both palms and roaring fiercely.
The roar left the ears of everyone present ringing!
Among the crowd, Zhang Yuan, without hesitation, activated the Power of the Black Giant Ant.
Twice, four times, six times...
His muscles bulged, tendons twisting under his skin, the murderous intent within him locked onto the gray-robed man!
Clang!
The long blade was unsheathed!
