Chapter 141: 108. True Meaning of Stick Fighting, Defeating Experts on the Tiger List_3
Hou Yuxiao turned his head to look behind, sensing that people were continuously approaching, among them the presence of two Dan Embracing Phase experts. Gazing at the treasury below the Divine Sound Sect's grand hall, a hint of regret appeared on his face.
After all, adding up the total time, it was barely more than thirty breaths, he had been quite fast, but this place was the base of the Divine Sound Sect, and it was located within Yun Ye County.
Releasing a Qinglong Silver Order from his bosom, Hou Yuxiao threw it toward Helian Wuji's chest, retracted his longsword, shouldered his staff, and then extended his hand towards his forehead. A black attractive force emerged in his palm, extracting a vigorous qi sphere from his body and directly absorbing it into his palm.
Having completed all this, Hou Yuxiao leaped eastward, sprinting away to escape.
Over ten breaths later, Fu Lingye and Yun Ye County's County Lord Dong Jianzhou finally arrived.
Unfortunately, what awaited them was only the scattered fragments of the Golden Bell, the sect master's grand hall now reduced to ruins, and the cold corpse lying on the ground.
"The Sect Master has been killed..."
Fu Lingye's pupils filled with shock, seeing the Qinglong Token on his chest, he shuddered, recognizing the item all too well.
Just seven days prior, when Helian Wufeng had died, he too had possessed a Qinglong Token.
County Lord Dong Jianzhou, seeing the corpse on the ground, though his expression was grave, there was a hint of secret delight in the depths of his eyes.
The various counties in The World were governed by the great Holy Lands, just like in Yongzhou, the county lords in Xu places were appointed by the Wanjian Saint.
Dong Jianzhou had been serving as the county lord in Yun Ye County for over thirty years, and even as a county lord appointed by the Holy Sect, he was constantly cautious in front of a well-entrenched power like the Divine Sound Sect. Moreover, Helian Wuji had always been defiant under the guise of his stature as a Tiger List martial artist; seeing this old foe killed was naturally extremely satisfying for him.
Being an experienced man himself, Dong Jianzhou naturally would not show his emotions in front of Fu Lingye and only approached with a solemn face to pick up that Qinglong Token, whispering softly, "Even Sect Master Helian couldn't stop this Third Dragon Head Fang Jinghong. The strength of the Qinglong Association is likely far beyond our imagination."
Fu Lingye looking toward the east side of the Divine Sound Sect, sensing the remaining presence of the enemies there, quickly said to Dong Jianzhou, "The Qinglong Association openly committed murder in my Yun Ye County, this matter should be handled by Lord Dong, right?"
Hearing this, Dong Jianzhou immediately cast down his eyes and nodded, saying, "Indeed, it should be my responsibility. Summon the men!"
"Subordinates pay respects to the Lord."
Two Body Opening Warriors dashed out from the side, bowing and clasping their fists toward Dong Jianzhou.
"The criminal has fled eastward. Go and pursue him quickly. If you can capture and bring him to justice, both Lord Dong and the Divine Sound Sect will reward you generously..."
As those two warriors glanced at Helian Wuji's body on the ground, their faces first showed a trace of fear, then after exchanging glances, they respectfully replied, "Your subordinates obey!"
After speaking, the two of them gathered over ten more warriors, all with cultivation levels above the Seventh Level of Body Opening, mounted their horses, and galloped eastward...
Watching this scene, Fu Lingye's face turned a deep shade of blue.
More than ten Body Opening Warriors going after a Dan Embracing Phase expert capable of killing Helian Wuji, Dong Jianzhou was practically openly mocking him...
"Elder Fu, my subordinates are not that capable, why don't you personally go and help them?"
As a voice came, Fu Lingye clenched his fist and looked in the direction where Hou Yuxiao had fled, his chest heaving for more than ten breaths before he finally snorted coldly and brushed off his sleeves to pacify the sect members.
Dong Jianzhou watching his retreating figure, a look of scorn appeared in his eyes.
"Playing mind games with me, Helian Wuji coming might have been a nearer match, but you're far from his level..."
What do you think?
