Weapon Master

Chapter 1582 - Extermination?

”Whoosh!” ”Whiz …”

The sound of something tearing through the air rose and fell.

A few figures suddenly appeared next to an enormous crater. After a quick glance, those people stopped walking, and as time passed, more and more figures appeared. Within a short ten breaths, there were close to a thousand people gathered at that place.

”Everyone, quickly look at the traces here. Commander Qiu Jian must have been caught up by that 14th Ranked Death Spirit here, and fought a big battle with him.”

A low and deep voice suddenly sounded.

The man who spoke was Xiong Zhuang, who had been severely injured during the Martial Arts Competition.

The surrounding people were all cultivators under Tang Huan’s command. After the nine squads gathered, they encountered a few people who had escaped, and then rushed back as fast as they could. After exterminating hundreds of dead spirits at the foot of the mountain, the group followed the trail to this place.

”With Commander Qiu’s strength, defeating a thirteenth stage Death Spirit shouldn’t be a problem, but a fourteenth stage Death Spirit …” A thin man couldn’t help but sigh.

”...”

Everyone was silent.

A level fourteen undead was comparable to a level three human cultivator. A few days ago during the Martial Arts Competition, Tang Huan had defeated the peak of the second level, the Celestial Phenomenon. However, if he were to fight with the third level Celestial Phenomenon, the chances of winning were minimal.

The possibility of Tang Huan surviving the battle after being chased by the fourteenth stage undead was extremely slim. At this time, he was afraid that he had already died at the hands of that dead spirit.

”Everyone, regardless of how we felt about Qiu Jian before, he is after all the commander of our Heavenly River City, and is now in danger to save his life. We cannot just sit idly by and watch.”

That skinny man suddenly said in a deep voice, ”That’s why, I suggest that everyone split into nine teams, search around, and inform the other teams of the news. If you are alive, see the person, if you want to die.”

”I agree.”

”I agree.”

”That’s how it should be.”

”...”

Xiong Zhui and the others immediately took action, and the nine squads flew off in nine different directions …

… ….

Heavenly River City.

”What?” Gu … Is Qiu Jian’s life or death unknown? ”

Inside a stone house, Du Yue was sitting cross-legged as he jumped up in shock. He almost shouted out the two words ”Gu Ying”, ”What exactly happened?”

”Mayor.”

Li Xinghan’s face was somewhat gloomy as well. ”There was a mistake with the information I received. Those who escaped were not all undead below the twelfth stage, but there was an expert of the fourteenth stage.” When Qiu Jian went to look for them, only a few of them survived. In order to save them, Qiu Jian left them to obstruct the enemy, and after the great battle with the fourteenth stage undead, they disappeared completely. ”

”That means, I can’t confirm if Qiu Jian, that little fellow, is already dead?” Du Yue squinted his eyes and said solemnly.

”That’s right.”

Li Xinghan subconsciously nodded his head.

”That’s good, that’s good!”

When Du Yue heard that, he immediately let out a sigh of relief. If the little guy really died at the hands of the dead spirit, there was no way for him to explain it to Master. Fortunately, at the moment, he still could not confirm whether or not he truly died at the hands of the death spirit, and as long as he did not confirm that he was dead, there was still a sliver of hope.

”What about that 14th rank Death Spirit?” In a flash of thought, Du Yue shouted.

”There’s no trace of them either!”

Li Xinghan frowned and shook his head. Then, he continued in a low voice, ”According to the judgement of the cultivators who were searching at that time, Qiu Jian and the Fourteenth Stage Death Spirit might have already … ”We shall perish together!”

”We perish together?”

Du Yue froze for a moment, and his expression turned ugly.

After a while, he took a deep breath and said with a wry smile, ”Maybe he escaped with heavy injuries. The Domain is so big, it’s normal that we can’t find him in such a short time.” ”There’s no need to be in such a hurry to come to a conclusion. If we send more people to search, we might be able to find his whereabouts.”

Originally he thought that this time, there wouldn’t be any danger, so he was relieved and sent Tang Huan out.

However, who would have thought that the news that was transmitted from the city would make such a huge mistake? But unfortunately, it was already too late for regret.

Sighing, Du Yue’s figure faintly moved and exited the stone house. Li Xinghan also faintly sighed, almost inaudibly, before flashing out.

At Du Yue’s command, all the cultivators in Heavenly River City started moving.

Out of the ten squads stationed in the city, eight of them were transferred out, and the twenty other squads outside the city started to search for Tang Huan’s whereabouts.

This search lasted for a full five days before it came to an end.

Tang Huan was still nowhere to be seen, and that Fourteenth Level Death Spirit had not revealed any more traces. On the other hand, the other parts of the Death Spirit that had escaped from the Ling City had all been found, and then completely exterminated … There was an expert of the thirteenth step hidden in that group of undead spirits. However, like a few days ago, the search party was extremely alert and had long since made their preparations. The losses weren’t too big.

As for Tang Huan and the 14th Ranked Death Spirit, almost everyone in Heavenly River City felt that they had died together.

Towards this result, many people felt pity and could not stop sighing. However, even more cultivators, especially Dou Bin, Cao Yu, and Wei Anlan, who were severely injured by Tang Huan during the ”Martial Arts Competition” in Heavenly River City, felt extremely excited and happy.

”Gu Ying... ”Dead?”

”Innate City …” Lei Dao slightly froze and instantly exclaimed.

After not being able to find traces of Tang Huan after such a long time, Du Yue didn’t dare to continue hiding it and sent the relevant information to Innate City.

”What a Du Yue! What the hell is he doing? He can’t even do such a small thing?”

After a split-second, Lei Dao let out a low roar, his brows were filled with anger.

Although Gu Ying’s cultivation was currently low, his potential was unbelievably strong, especially his attainments in Tools Method and his potential. A promising disciple of the saint rank, Tian Gong, had actually died in Heavenly River City. How could he endure this?

Don’t be angry, Elder Lei. It might not be death, what Du Yue said is … Your whereabouts are unknown? ” A white robed old man standing next to him said.

”Missing? ”Hehe!”

Lei Dao sneered, ”I still don’t know what Du Yue is up to. If Gu Ying’s whereabouts were truly unknown, then the message he sent over would be a different story. That little fellow seems to be in for it. What a pity, what a pity! ”

”Don’t be in such a hurry to come to a conclusion, does Gu Ying have any Mind Stigma left in the sect?” The old man in white stroked his beard as he slowly said.

”If you didn’t say it, I would have forgotten.”

Lei Dao gawked for a moment, then fiercely smacked the back of his head, ”Before I left the sect, I specifically asked that little guy for an item that merged with his Mind Stigma.” As they spoke, a small white jade pendant appeared in the palm of Thunder Blade. Just by sensing it, the two of them were stunned.

”He didn’t die?”

”He’s still alive!”

”...”
