1566: Chapter 1559: Leave No Survivors 1566: Chapter 1559: Leave No Survivors “I’m asking about the person who knows the Fog Concealnt Skill, not the skill itself,” Cheng Ziang reminded.
“A Mist Concealnt Master?
Indeed, I know one, but I don’t know if you…” the man hesitated.
“I’m looking for a woman, a woman who knows the Fog Concealnt Skill,” Cheng Ziang suddenly thought of this particular description and said.
“A woman who knows the Fog Concealnt Skill, not a man?” The man seed even more surprised.
“Why would you think it’s a man?” Cheng Ziang asked, puzzled.
“The Fog Concealnt Skill…
a woman…
could it be…” the man muttered and then suddenly shouted out loud.
He tossed the bag of silver coins back, which landed in Cheng Ziang’s hands.
Imdiately after, he said in a panic, “You better leave quickly and never co back.
I don’t want to get involved with you, it could cost my life.”
“Why, is there sothing you can’t say?” Cheng Ziang caught the money bag and asked, confused.
“No reason, just leave quickly, and don’t drag into this.
I don’t want to die,” the man said sowhat frantically.
“What if we insist on knowing?
It’s just you and here, no one else.
What exactly are you afraid of?” Cheng Ziang asked.
“From the mont you ca looking for , my death was sealed.
I just don’t want to drag my family into this.
Just leave now.
At least then I’ll have the courage to tell those people I didn’t reveal their identities,” the man said with a trembling voice, as if on the verge of tears.
“Tell us their information, we can protect you,” Cheng Ziang said calmly.
“Don’t joke around.
What can you do?
Do you think those people are easy to deal with?
Even the authorities dare not offend them.
I’m just a petty figure from the jianghu, how could I dare to offend them?” the man said.
Cheng Ziang’s eyebrows knitted tightly.
He took a step forward and was about to lift the screen.
The brawny man tried to stop him but was imdiately restrained by Hu Daoke.
Hu Daoke’s strength was much greater than the brawny man’s, so he was subdued easily.
Cheng Ziang pushed aside the screen without hesitation and saw the man hiding behind it.
He was a short and round fat man dressed in commoner’s clothes, but his hands were adorned with a variety of gemstone rings, including those with the variously colored Magic Crystals.
This fat man was evidently not a Cultivator, nor did he know any martial arts.
Seeing Cheng Ziang push away the screen, he imdiately grew nervous and kept backing away.
“All-knowing, tell their identities.
I’m not asking you, I’m ordering you!” Cheng Ziang said coldly, slamming the money bag down on the table.
“Please go, I really can’t tell you…” All-knowing’s body shook like a sieved chaff, his brows furrowed in a look of distress, and he slowly slumped to the ground against a pillar.
“Are you not afraid of dying?” Cheng Ziang’s gaze sharpened as he drew a dagger from his bosom and gestured with it before the man’s face.
“If you kill , only I will die.
But if they find out I’ve revealed their identities, my family won’t survive either.
You can’t defeat them, they are omnipotent, even the officials dare not offend them.
You outsiders should not stir trouble and leave Kyushu imdiately…” All-knowing pleaded with a mournful face.
“What kind of organization is it that even the authorities dare not offend?” Hearing his words, Cheng Ziang gasped, squinting his eyes and murmuring to himself.
Just then, they suddenly heard commotion outside the house, like the clashing of swords, and the magical energy in the air also started to fluctuate slightly.
All-knowing, who felt the disturbance outside, turned ashen, slumping to the ground as if he might faint.
Hearing the noise, Cheng Ziang and his two companions rushed out to see Feng had already drawn his long sword, staring intently in one direction, while Xihe and his n had disappeared without a trace.
“What happened?” Cheng Ziang asked.
“Soone launched a surprise attack; they went to pursue.” Feng watched the direction intently, handing over the knife to Cheng Ziang without turning his head.
“They’ve actually found us so quickly.” Cheng Ziang said in shock.
At that mont, the sound of battle cries ca from the distance once again, and Cheng Ziang, concerned about Xihe, ordered without hesitation: “Go, hurry to help Xihe!”
Upon receiving Cheng Ziang’s order, Feng leaped up on the spot, flipping onto the rooftops and dashing towards the direction of the battle cries.
Cheng Ziang and the others also drew their weapons and ford a triangular battle formation, chasing down the alley they ca from.
After turning a few corners, they arrived at the scene of the incident.
Here was an open space, where the dozen or so strong n brought by Xihe were fighting with a group of n in black.
Initially, the n in black had the upper hand, but as Feng joined the battlefield, the tide of battle began to turn.
After several of their own fell, the n in black retreated orderly into the chaotic alleys and disappeared without a trace.
“Xihe Changfu, are you all right?” Cheng Ziang approached Xihe and asked with concern.
“I’m fine, but who knew that such skilled fighters would attack from nowhere?
This is the first ti I’ve realized that the Luo Yue Gathering can be so chaotic.” Xihe wiped the blood from his face and said through clenched teeth.
Baiyue was inspecting the bodies of these n in black when she seed to discover sothing.
Walking to one body, she pulled down the face mask and bent over to sll it, frowning as she said to Cheng Ziang, “This man died from poisoning.
It seems they never intended to return alive from their attack; they were death warriors.”
Hearing her words, Cheng Ziang’s temple throbbed.
Suddenly realizing sothing, he slapped his forehead and said through gritted teeth, “Damn it, it’s a diversionary tactic, we’ve been tricked!”
Saying so, he ordered loudly and sowhat frantically, “Feng, clear the way, we need to go back!”
“Yes!” Upon his command, Feng didn’t bother to rest and imdiately turned around to sprint back.
The group hurried back to the eting place with the All-knowing, only to discover that smoke was already billowing from the rooftop.
Cheng Ziang didn’t hesitate and rushed in, making his way through the cluttered house to the room where he had t with the All-knowing.
By that ti, the All-knowing had already collapsed to the ground, and the blood seeping from him had ford a large pool.
Several obvious wounds on his fat back continuously oozed blood.
“All-knowing, are you alright!” Cheng Ziang disregarded the bloody stench and stepped onto the blood pool to rush to All-knowing’s side, struggling to prop him up.
The propped-up All-knowing suddenly seed to co to life, his mouth and nose continuously bleeding, yet his eyes were bright and fixed on Cheng Ziang.
Cheng Ziang knew all too well, this was the final flicker of life; All-knowing was beyond saving.
“Go, save my family, please…
I’ll tell you their identities…” All-knowing clutched at Cheng Ziang’s sleeve with his blood-stained hands.
Although he was in his final monts, speaking was very difficult, and blood constantly flowed from the corner of his mouth with every word.
“Alright, alright, I promise you, I will save your family.” Cheng Ziang quickly nodded and said.
Upon hearing Cheng Ziang’s promise, All-knowing appeared to release so burden, his eyes that were wide open slowly closed, and with great effort, he murmured, “That woman, the woman skilled in Fog Concealnt Skill…
she…
she is from Heterogeneous Hall…
Heterogeneous Hall…
Empe…
Empe…
her na is…
her na is…”
Though All-knowing tried hard to speak, his thoughts beca more chaotic, and his words grew more indistinct.
Finally, his eyes fully closed, his body twitched a couple of tis and then went completely limp.
“What’s her na, what’s her na, tell !” Cheng Ziang shook All-knowing’s body forcefully, shouting agitatedly.
Clearly, the death of All-knowing had broken through his defenses, and he was anything but calm at this mont.
“Ziang, calm down…” Baiyue stepped forward, leaning down to console him.
“Calm down, how could I possibly calm down, hurry up and rescue them!” Cheng Ziang yelled angrily.
“Oh, okay, I will have Xihe go and rescue them right away, don’t worry…” Baiyue nodded and comforted him.
