Tang Yin nodded, and also muttered a pity.
After pouring the last drop of wine from the wine pot into a bowl, Tang Yin finished it in one gulp. Then, he took out a piece of silver and placed it on the table.
Shen Shu also stood up, cupping his hands: "Brother Tang, goodbye."
Tang Yin smiled and walked out of the tavern. Outside, he faced the sky and took a deep breath, the Black Fog suddenly appeared around him, and when he looked back, he had already disappeared.
Seeing that Tang Yin had left, Shen Shu turned around and sat back down.
Returning back to the tavern, Tang Yin did not wake Jiang Fan and the others up. Instead, he went back to his room quietly and laid down. The next morning, three more corpses were nailed onto the Eastern City wall. It was the same as the situation two days ago, their hearts were similarly nailed to the wall, and the same words were left on the wall.
It was reasonable to say that the previous two days of murder had been caused by the fact that the Rangers were not well-prepared, but last night, nearly all the Rangers in the city had been searching for the assassin's traces. However, in this case, there were still Rangers who had been killed, and more of them than on the first or second day.
Let alone the rangers who were panicking, even the officials of Laiyang could not take it anymore. After three consecutive days of murder, the murderer had even openly nailed the corpse to the city gate. This was a public slap to the official's face. The Laiyang Mayor gave an urgent order to the entire city to investigate the culprit, and then added a curfew order. After nightfall, no one was allowed to go out on the streets, and once discovered, there was no need to interrogate them, they would be killed on the spot.
When night came, groups of officers and soldiers were patrolling the streets and alleys, but a large number of patrolling soldiers were unable to stop the massacre. On the fourth day, as many as four corpses were nailed to the city gate, and it was obvious that the murderer would kill one more person every day, purposely creating a nervous atmosphere.
Since the government intervened, it greatly restricted the rangers' movements, and since the government was powerless to stop or uncover the murderer, it would only let the rangers suffer the beatings. As a result, the rangers in the city began to leave their Laiyang one after another and gathered in the surrounding villages.
Because of the curfew in Laiyang and the departure of the large number of Rangers, Tang Yin was also unwilling to stay in the city any longer. He let Jiang Fan and the others pack up their belongings and follow him out of the city. On the way out of the city, Jiang Fan asked: "Sir, where are we going now?"
Without waiting for Tang Yin to speak, Shangguan Yuanbiao spoke first: "I heard that many Rangers went to the South of City's village. Sir, are we also going there?"
Tang Yin thought for a moment, then said: "There are only two days left until the travelling party. Let's go to the Ten Thousand Calamity Valley first, and check out the situation there."
"Alright!"
Jiang Fan and the others had no objections, and followed Tang Yin out of the city, straight for the Ten Thousand Graveyard Valley.
Ten Thousand Graveyard Valley was located in the southwest of Laiyang, which was only twenty kilometers of journey, and it would not even take half an hour for a horse to ride it. The location of the Ten Thousand Graveyard Valley was very unique, just right in between the two mountains. The mountain here was caved in, forming a circular valley. The terrain was vast, and was large enough to accommodate over a hundred thousand people.
Since the Ranger's Gathering was held here, a stage had already been set up in the Ten Thousand Tombs Valley. Directly in the middle was a tall, broad and sturdy platform, obviously built for the Ranger Ranger Competition. On the north side of the platform, there were several seats of varying sizes, and each of the seats had the name of a sect hung on it. Among them, four of the biggest seats had the words Carefree Sect, Holy Hall, Baihui Hall, and Baihui Hall written on them.
Seeing that, Tang Yin could not hold back and laughed, and said to the people around him: "This place was definitely built by Zhang Dong's men!"
Jiang Fan was startled, and asked: "How does the King know?"
Tang Yin laughed: "Carefree Sect's strength and prestige are far inferior to Holy Hall, Asura Sect, and Baihui Hall's seating area is the same for Holy Hall, Asura Sect, and Baihui Hall. Of course, only Zhang Dong can make it out."
Jiang Fan and the rest also laughed, and nodded: "The King is wise."
Just as they were conversing, a few young men dressed in white clothes and white pants walked over, they looked at Tang Yin and the rest and said coldly: "This place is called the Rangers' Meeting place, outsiders are not allowed!"
Tang Yin met their gaze and asked with a smile on his face, "Then who are you?"
"Carefree Sect!" The young man in the lead spoke in an overbearing and righteous manner: "This place was built by my Carefree Sect, my Carefree Sect naturally has the authority to manage this place. Wait for me to quickly leave, if you dare say even half a word, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Ouch! What big words! Tang Yin had not yet spoken when Shangguan Yuanbiao, who was beside him, let out a low snort. He made a gesture to go forward, but Tang Yin pulled him back first and shook his head slightly, indicating that he should not cause trouble.
It could be seen that Zhang Dong was determined to win the position of the Alliance Master. Hopefully, it would really be as he wished! Tang Yin muttered in his heart, and then smiled at the few Carefree Sect disciples. Without saying anything, he turned and left.
Exiting the Ten Thousand Graveyard, Shangguan Yuanbiao said indignantly: "The Carefree Sect is too arrogant, no wonder so many travelling adventurers are guessing that they are the masterminds behind the recent murders!"
Tang Yin shook his head with a smile and said: "It's precisely because Carefree Sect is too arrogant that they are definitely not the culprits, because Zhang Dong simply did not bother to do so." Zhang Dong thought that with his support, the position of Alliance Master would definitely belong to him.
Right now, Tang Yin was no longer confident that his Carefree Sect would be able to smoothly secure the position of the Alliance Master. The situation of the Ranger Realm was much more complicated than he had imagined, and the Spiritual Martial Expert in the Ranger Realm was also much more numerous than he had expected.
"Great King, where are we going now?" Shangguan Yuanwu asked.
Tang Yin thought for a while, then said: "Didn't they say that many Rangers went to the South of City's village? Let's go over too! "0
"Yes sir!"
After they left the Ten Thousand Graveyard Valley, after walking for a few kilometers, they suddenly heard shouts of battle from the forest beside the road. They were all startled, and quickly reined in their horses, looking at each other, Tang Yin dismounted first, waved and said: "Go take a look."
Tang Yin left Brother Shangguan and Ah Si to watch over the horses, and only brought Jiang Fan and Cheng Jin to quietly enter the forest to check on the situation.
In the depths of the forest, there were two groups of rangers tearing each other to death. Because of the obvious difference in clothing between the two sides, it was easy to tell that they were two gangs. One of them had the absolute advantage and surrounded the remaining few people on the other side.
"Someone from the Divine Martial Sect, do you really want to exterminate all of them?" A ranger, who had been surrounded, roared at the top of his lungs. At this moment, the spirit armor on his body was riddled with scratches, and blood was flowing out from many places. Standing here, he was on the verge of collapse.
"Humph!" If I don't kill you, we'll probably die tomorrow. " One of the travelling adventurers who held the advantage stepped forward and said with a cold voice.
"What do you mean?"
"In my opinion, the matter of assassinating a ranger in the past few days was done by you, Lotus Flower Gang. Rather than waiting for you to find my Divine Martial Sect, why don't I kill all of your Lotus Flower Gang first!?"
"Don't you dare slander us! I'll fight it out with you! " The ranger who was at the end of his tether roared, raised his Spiritual Knife and rushed forward. He was not even fast enough to bounce back before he was hit in the chest by a punch. With a muffled thump, the travelling adventurer fell heavily onto the ground. Then, he took a look at his chest. The spirit armor had been shattered, and the white clothes inside had already been dyed red with blood.
"Kill!" Not a single one remained! Kill all the people from the Lotus Flower Gang for me today! "
The surrounding people rushed forward and began to attack the few rangers that were trapped in the center in a crazed manner. This was a one-sided fight. The few adventurers who were trapped did not even have a chance to escape. From time to time, miserable screams could be heard from the crowd.
Tang Yin did not have any intention to interfere, he observed for a while, and decided to leave the forest. He sneered in his heart, and started a fight with the travelling adventurers, presumably, this was what the masterminds wanted to see the most, and there were really plenty of people who were duped among the wandering practitioners, being stupid, being extremely laughable, etc.
Just as he was about to retreat, he suddenly realised that there was a person hiding on a tree twenty meters away from him. This person was hiding in the leaves and was extremely well-hidden, if not for Tang Yin's sharp senses and extraordinary eyesight, it would be difficult to discover her.
Tang Yin's heart moved. He gave Jiang Fan and Cheng Jin, who were beside him, a meaningful glance, implying that the two would wait for him for a while longer. Then, he used the Shadow Shift and rushed towards the old tree that the person was hiding in.
At a distance of twenty meters, Tang Yin climbed up two Shadow Shift s in a row. Then, like a nimble monkey, he used both hands and feet to climb up the tree. His movements were too fast, and he moved soundlessly. When he was just about to approach the other party's back, that person suddenly became alert, her reaction was extremely fast, and when she turned around, the Steel Sword had already left its scabbard by more than half.
When she turned around, Tang Yin saw her appearance clearly, he had grabbed hold of her arm that was pulling the sword before her, and said softly: "Didn't Sect Lord want to fight me again?"
"Ah?" It's you again? " The person hiding on the tree was a woman, and not long ago, she had met Tang Yin, and also exchanged blows with him.
At this time and place, Yan Xi was extremely surprised to see Tang Yin, and asked subconsciously, "Why are you here?"
Tang Yin laughed: "I would like to ask about the same thing as you, Sect Lord!"
Yan Xi was indeed worthy of being a Sect Lord from a large clan. She said faintly, "I have to find out who is trying to take my life!"
"Yes!" Tang Yin expressed his understanding and nodded, then said softly, "I also want to find out, who exactly was it that tried to assassinate you, Sect Lord!"
