C183 Deputy Officer's Death
Who are you people? Why did he come here? Hurry up and leave! " That person hurriedly shouted when he saw Nie Zhen.
"Just what happened to the Blood Jade Town? How could there be such a tragic situation?!" Nie Zhen asked continuously.
"Go go, this is not a place where you should stay. Leave quickly, don't get infected by the dirty air here." The leader of the group thought Nie Zhen and the others were ordinary rich kids and quickly chased them away.
Tens of thousands of people had died here, and if the bodies were exposed to the air, it could easily lead to a plague. Once the plague spread, the consequences would be dire.
The other party was also a member of Duobao Sect, so there was no need for Nie Zhen to hide his identity. He took out his core disciple, Jade Token, and showed it to him.
Seeing that Nie Zhen was actually a Duobao Sect Core Disciple, the other side hurriedly bowed to him and said: "Subordinate Yang Yang from the Southern Dou Division greets the four sect's Core Disciples."
After Nie Zhen retracted his disciple Jade Token, he asked Yang Yang: "Which one of you is in charge of matters here?"
Yang Yang said honestly, "It was managed by our Zhengyue Dobao Division's Deputy Officer Han."
"Where's Deputy Officer Han?" The deputy officers' cultivations were all Ninth Level of the Earth Stage, but Nie Zhen's Spiritual Sense could not find any traces of experts in the Ninth Level of the Earth Stage.
Yang Yang Yang said: "Deputy Han has brought two deacons with him to the Moshi Mountain Range to investigate the situation for five days already, before he left, I was left here to handle the burn of over thirty thousand corpses of the people of Blood Jade Town, to prevent the spread of the plague, but I do not know why the four core disciples came here, and why the road was blocked all along, could it be that you guys did not encounter any obstructions?"
Nie Zhen casually said: "To be able to come here, we naturally have our methods. What exactly is going on with Blood Jade Town? Why are there so many bodies? "
Yang Yang smiled bitterly and said, "God knows what happened! In just a few days, our entire Blood Jade Town has actually been massacred by someone. We still don't know who did it! "
Just as Nie Zhen was about to ask, a scream came from outside the Blood Jade Town: "Deputy Han is dead! Someone come quickly! Vice Officer Han is dead … "
Nie Zhen and his peers looked at each other and hastily ran towards the source of the voice. Yang Yang saw a shadow flash in front of him and could no longer see Nie Zhen and the others.
When Nie Zhen arrived outside the town, he saw a person with disheveled hair who ran towards the Blood Jade Town in an extremely sorry state. And behind him, there was even another person on his back. More accurately speaking, it was a corpse.
This corpse was naturally Vice Officer Han. He was covered in bloodstains, and his clothes were tattered. His pitch-black face was devoid of any signs of life.
The man felt his vision go black, and in the next moment, his back lightened. The corpse of Assistant Officer Han had already been put down, and just as he was about to berate, Nie Zhen had already taken out the core disciple Jade Token, frowning at him: "I'm a disciple of a sect, what's going on? How could Deputy Officer Han fall! "
Only when Nie Zhen saw Deputy Han with his own eyes did he know why this deacon lost his composure like this. Deputy Han's death look was too maimed, it was as if his entire body was torn apart by a wild beast. One of his arms was completely torn to pieces, the bones could be seen, and the other parts of his body could no longer be seen.
After that person found out that Nie Zhen was a disciple of a sect, he finally let out a sigh of relief. He sat on the ground and took a long time to explain everything that had happened before and after.
Because no one was left in the town, it was only two days later that some merchants came across Blood Jade Town and saw the miserable state of the Blood Jade Town. Only then did they stumble to report, and only after seeing the terrible situation that had occurred did Deputy Officer Han receive the news of Blood Jade Town being massacred layer by layer.
There were very few instances in which an entire town was massacred within the Subordinate Country. Under normal circumstances, it would at most be during a battle between two countries.
However, in these recent years, the Nandou Country and the surrounding nations had nothing to do, and Blood Jade Town was not a place where war was inevitable. There was also no news of a country's invasion either, which was why the entire matter seemed to be strange.
Vice Officer Han immediately realized the severity of the problem and immediately led his subordinates to Blood Jade Town to carry out an investigation. Who knew if this investigation would cause the problem to become even more complicated?
It was because the citizens of Blood Jade Town had obviously been robbed by others, so the current Blood Jade Town could not even be described as "ten chambers in nine air", but what was strange was that if it was a bandit type of person, then it was impossible that not a single person could escape from the Blood Jade Town.
It had to be known that if it was a bandit, no matter how many bandits there were, they were still a motley crew. It was impossible for them to train properly while robbing homes, and to not let Blood Jade Town go just by himself.
Moreover, because of the development of the business, many wealthy people in the town had their own powerful hanger-ons. If it was a normal bandits, they wouldn't be able to touch Blood Jade Town and the others.
Even if the Mountain Bandits were powerful, if they really did take down the Blood Jade Town, would those rich people not even be able to kill their way out?
Therefore, Deputy Officer Han quickly ruled out the possibility of being a bandit.
Furthermore, their strength must be very high as well. No matter how meticulous their plans were, those experts who had the ability to massacre the entire Blood Jade Town, at the very least, had a very high level of cultivation.
After pondering for a long time, Vice Officer Han finally locked onto the direction of the Moshi Mountain Range.
According to Assistant Officer Han's conjectures, the people who massacred Blood Jade Town should have retreated towards the direction of Moshi Mountain Range after massacring the town. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the other counties in Nandou Country to not have a clue regarding this group of people.1
Thus, Vice Officer Han brought two attendants and entered the Moshi Mountain Range to investigate. Before leaving, he instructed the remaining people to stay within the Blood Jade Town to burn the corpses of the people of Blood Jade Town to prevent the spread of the plague. He also ordered the entire Nandou Country to be sealed, especially the various transportation channels of the Full Moon Continent.
Who would have thought that in the five days that Deputy Officer Han had gone, he would be putting his own life on the line?
At this moment, Soong Dong'er and the others had already walked up. When they saw Vice Officer Han in such a state, their eyebrows creased.
Soong Dong'er blurted out, "He … "He's Deputy Officer Han?!"
Nie Zhen nodded and said in a serious tone, "Looks like there are two possibilities today. One is that Officer Han encountered a cultivator who has cultivated a bloody evil art, and the opponent would always use this brutal method to kill the enemy. The other is, Assistant Officer Han has encountered a very violent spirit beast, and that spirit beast's rank is not low.
The information he had was limited, so Nie Zhen could only temporarily analyze so much. He looked at the deacon that had escaped and asked, "Who killed Deputy Han, did you not see it at all?"
The deacon shook his head and said, "I don't know. After we entered the Moshi Mountain Range, we split into three groups to carry out investigations, and every hundred kilometers, we would meet up. On the fourth day of entering the Moshi Mountain Range, I did not see Assistant Han.
"You weren't attacked?" Nie Zhen asked.
The deacon shook his head and said, "No, after I found Deputy Officer Han's corpse, I hastily ran back. That deacon shook his head and said," No, after I found Deputy Officer Han's corpse, I hastily ran back.
Nie Zhen nodded his head, and after pondering for a moment, he said to Deacon Yang who was behind him: "Deacon Yang, after you have burned all the corpses of the common people of Blood Jade Town, you can leave the Blood Jade Town first and station outside it. You don't need to ask about Blood Jade Town matters."
"Yes sir!" Yang Yang didn't dare to disobey the orders of the core disciples of the sect. He then asked Nie Zhen: "Then, should we report this matter to Sun Jin, who is in charge of the South Dou Division?"
"Of course, you can report the situation here to Officer Sun. The fall of the deputy officer is a major event, he needs to be prepared in advance."
Yang Yang and the rest accepted the order and continued burning the corpses. Then, they left a tent and other things inside the Blood Jade Town for Nie Zhen and the rest and retreated outside the Blood Jade Town to guard.
It was night when Soong Dong'er saw that Nie Zhen didn't return to his tent to rest. She walked up to him and asked, "Junior Brother Nie, why aren't you resting this late?"
Nie Zhen said solemnly, "It's best to be careful. We should be more alert, this matter might be a bit troublesome."
Soong Dong'er snorted, "Hmph! I'm just afraid that if I can't find him, once I find out who my opponent is, I'll tear apart his bones! Junior Brother Nie, tomorrow we will enter Moshi Mountain Range and find that scoundrel! "
It was obvious that the bloody and brutal scene during the day had left a huge shadow on Soong Dong'er. She couldn't wait to directly enter the mountain and find the culprit.
"No rush." Nie Zhen said flatly, "Let's wait until Brother Qin Wuyan arrives before we act conveniently."
"Hmm? "Why?" Soong Dong'er was puzzled.
Nie Zhen said solemnly: "With the situation developing to this point, it is no longer just the matter of the Herbalist Puppet dying. To be able to kill an outer court officer of the Duobao Sect without leaving any trace and even cause his death to appear so miserable, I am sure that the other party's cultivation must be in the Sky Realm, and he is very likely to be an opponent with Middle Rank of the Heaven Realm above that level. Such an opponent definitely has a huge background, we cannot underestimate him."
"Middle Rank of the Heaven Realm?! Could it really be because of Origin Sect?! " Soong Dong'er blurted out.
Nie Zhen shook his head and said to Soong Dong'er, "It's still too early to say this, but at the moment, if we were to split our forces into three sides, it's very likely that we would be too dispersed. We can make a plan when Senior Brother Qin arrives."
