Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 550 - Shouts Ask for Help
When Zhang En arrived at the headquarters hall, Hong Fen, Jin Wu, Zen Yu, Gu Shan, and a few other experts were already there, discussing the solution of the problem.
"In my opinion, we should get our people there as quickly as possible and kill a group of experts from that demon beast clan." Zen Yu.
Hong Fen and the other council representatives nodded in agreement. After that they discuss who and how many people should be sent.
In the end, they decided to send Jin Wu, the intermediate stage Second Star Ancestral Realm realm cultivators, and several other early stage Two Star Divine Realm realm experts from the Shu Clan to lead a group of realm cultivators of the Three Star True God Realm and the one Star Ancestral God Realm.
There were a total of thirty people in the group. Both Zhang En and Gu Shan were among the thirty people chosen.
From the view of Hong Fen, Zen Yu, and the other council representatives, Jin Wu, Shu Qian, Zhang En, Gu Shan, were, and the others were already more than enough to eliminate a group of experts from the demon beast clan.
Without delaying any more time, their group departed from that headquarters, flying to the city in the southern Red World.
Half a day later, they arrived in the city.
However, what entered their sight when they arrived was that they saw a city that had been completely destroyed. A thick scent of blood filled the air, and the group of experts from the demon beast clan, not a single one was seen in the city. They all frowned a little.
"Put into the city and check inside." Jin Wu ordered with a pouting face.
Zhang En and the others flew in various directions, stopping randomly above the city and checking out the situation below. Many corpses were scattered everywhere, be it in the streets, the corpses of women, children, old people, city soldiers, as well as some disciples from every clan that existed in that city. They also saw many limbs and heads that were dismembered without bodies, corpses with their hearts in the unplugged lying here and there.
"They're completely inhumane!" Shu Qian said with anger. Although death was already a regular event for those cultivators, it was hard to be able to withstand the cruelty due to the sadistic slaughter that was in front of them. What's more seeing a child's corpse down there.
Zhang En looked around doubtfully. According to the reports they received, the defensive line of this city did not seem to be easy to break through. Some of the large clans living within the city had some low and medium level Divine Realm cultivators. Based on the strength of that group of experts from the demon beast clan, it was likely that they broke through the city's defenses so quickly, moreover, with enough time to obliterate a city before they arrived, their success should be low.
A possibility flashed through Zhang En, perhaps the strength of the group of experts from the demon beast clan was unlike the report they had received from the headquarters.
Almost at the same time, Jin Wu, Shu Qian, and the others were also thinking of the same possibility.
"In this case, we go back to headquarters first!" Jin Wu made a decisive decision.
As everyone turned to leave, somewhere in the front, cries for help rang out in the quiet city.
Hearing the voice of the child who shouted for help, actually more than one child, the group who was about to leave stopped their steps.
Each of them exchanged glances with the person closest to them. However, not a single person moved, as this sequence of events was too strange. Because the sound of the crying of the children in the city being destroyed became ruins just as they were about to leave.
Jin Wu hesitated for a moment before turning to look at Shu Qian, "Shu Qian, some of you guys are staying here while some of us are going to leave."
This way, if something really happened, the group that stayed by their side in this place could rush back to the Alliance headquarters to summon reinforcements.
Then, Jin Wu chose Zhang En, Gu Shan, and the other ten elite disciples of the Phoenix Sect and flew towards the screaming sounds of children crying in the distance.
Soon, Jin Wu's group found some children crying for help. In total there were three children, two boys and one girl. All three looked to be around seven to eight years old, their faces dirty from dirt and tear stains.
When the children saw Zhang En's group, terrified gazes were clearly visible in their eyes.
A small wrinkle furrowed in Zhang En's brows. He and the others who had come to the place of these three children were vigilantly observing the surroundings, but they felt nothing strange.
"Chairman Jin, what do we do with these three children?" A student asked.
"Take them out of here first." Jin Wu replied without hesitation.
Jin Wu then ordered the three disciples to bring one child each. However, just as they were about to leave the place, one of the disciples suddenly fell limp to the ground.
In the next moment, the other two disciples also fell.
Jin Wu was surprised. Before he could think of anything, his head already felt heavy and he felt dizzy.
"This…?!" Jin Wu exclaimed but his voice sounded like a whisper.
"This is Soul Wasting Powder!" At this moment, a cold voice sounded.
The one who spoke just now was Gu Shan.
Jin Zhu and the remaining elite disciples were taken aback.
"This is a legendary poison that can spread one's soul by its scent?" Jin Wu exclaimed.
Gu Shan smiled, “True once! It seems you are very knowledgeable elder Jin. Although this Soul Wasting Powder will not take your life, without the antidote, it is enough to put you to sleep for a few days.”
Jin Hu's facial expression darkened, shouting, “Gu Shan, what do you really want to do? Why are you doing this?"
When Gu Shan heard his question, he burst into laughter. Then, he pointed at Zhang En, filled with hatred, “Do you know how I have lived for these few years?! Not a day goes by without me feeling painless. For almost seven years, I have never touched and enjoyed any woman, I feel more dead than living like this, and all this is caused by your junior sister!”
It's true, over the past years, he has tried every method he could think of to make his little worm grow again, but alas, dear, it did not grow anymore and Gu Shan felt his life was in hell.
