Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1099 1099: Massacre

Two days passed...

After the main hall was turned into a shared bedroom for everyone, two days passed without any further incidents. During that time, the Hong Clan's members lived in fear of when the killer would emerge, whether it was when eating or sleeping. Even when going to the toilet, they did not dare to be alone and had to find someone to keep them company.

In addition to the pressure and fear that everyone in the Hong Clan had, the news that the Hong Clan had lost many pillar persons and elders had leaked out and had once again become the focus of attention of the surrounding people. Therefore, the outskirts of the Hong Clan were filled with many scouts from other clans and forces who had come to watch what was happening to the Hong Clan.

At a small meeting room within the Hong Clan's manor...

"How about it, My Grandson? Have your elders contacted you yet?" the former clan leader asked anxiously.

"Yes, Elder Master Regulator and the Fifth Elder have answered me, sir! They're willing to help us deal with this problem. But we must give each of them two hundred million Deity Coins and five hundred mid-level Deity Crystals, sir!" The young man was very anxious to answer his grandfather's question because the other parties' demands were quite large.

Hah!

"Are they planning to rob us? At this time, our clan only had six hundred million coins remaining. As for the mid-level Deity Crystals, there were only a few thousand of them. If we give them, what will be left in our clan?" an elder said in disapproval. Because if they paid the amount that the other parties demanded, it would instantly turn the Hong Clan into a low-level clan.

"That's right! If we gave them that much, our clan would probably collapse!"

"Do you guys have a better way? Even if we lose those assets, we'll continue to survive. We can acquire new wealth at any time later, sir. But can we acquire another life?" The young man suddenly interrupted. Because if this offer were rejected, he would definitely not get any commission.

As for that...

No matter how much the remaining elders wanted to deny it, the young man's words were correct, and it was the Hong Clan's last way. If they still loved their property, their life would be snatched away, and they would never be able to get it back.

"Well, stop arguing! Since this choice is our last choice, so..."

Enemies!

The enemies have appeared!

Hah!

But before the former clan leader could say yes, the guards' shouts sounded.

"Everyone, stay here! I'm going out to deal with that bastard myself!" The veins of the former clan leader's forehead instantly bulged when he heard the guards' shouts. Before that, people in his clan died every day, so he hoped to be able to capture that murderer. And for the safety of the remaining people, he ordered them to hide in the hall because there was a protective spell placed there.

"Grandpa, let me go with you. Even though I'm not as strong as you, I definitely won't be a burden to you!" Zheng-Fu suddenly raised his hand to ask to go with him. And this was one of his plans because he knew that the elder would definitely not allow him to go.

No, you cannot!

"You must be here. Your current energy level is not enough to do anything. But if it were your elder brother, it would be possible!" The elder really rejected Zheng-Fu as he had thought. It was not that the elder was not confident in his grandson. But it was because he did not know much about the enemy. So, he did not want his grandsons to take risks until he knew the true identity of the murderer first.

"But..."

Blop!

"Second Brother, you should obey Grandpa. You must be here!" The grand young master walked over and grabbed Zheng-Fu's shoulder with a warning and looked at him with worried eyes.

"All right! I'll stay here!" Zheng-Fu nodded with a sad expression on his face. But beneath that sad face was an evil smile.

Outside the Hong Clan main hall...

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Slash!

Arrrrrgh!

Slash!

Augh!

Oh, my arm!

No!!!

Dodge quickly! Hurry back, we can't cope with them!

Screams and shouts rang out in chaos in the large square in front of the Hong Clan's manor. A brutal massacre took place there as two figures brandished weapons in their hands to kill in a frantic manner. And in just a short while, more than twenty Hong Clan members had been killed.

Whoosh!!!

Thud!!!

"Everyone backs off!"

"Yes, sir, Former Clan Leader!"

The former clan leader quickly arrived on the battlefield. He then hurriedly ordered all the clan members to back off.

"Who are you guys? How dare you do bad things to the Hong Clan?!" The former clan leader had many questions that he wanted to ask the enemies. But when actually confronted, he could not say anything except asking only simple questions. He was quite shocked when he realized that the enemy was not the only one. Although he had also guessed that they might be a group of people.

"Whoever we are, you don't have to care. You just need to know that today will be the day the Hong Clan will disappear from this world. But... if you give me all the treasures your clan has and destroy your energy foundation..., we'll let your clan survive!" Zheng-Fu's clone figure replied. At that moment, Zheng-Fu switched his mind to this clone to negotiate with the elder.

Fatuous!

"Do you think that with your energy levels, you can do anything to me? Even if there were two of you, you still wouldn't be able to deal with me!" The elder argued with a look of contempt on his face. Knowing what energy levels of the murderers who had secretly killed his Hong Clan members over these past few days, he no longer felt afraid of the other party.

"This is what Hong-Xuan said before. But in the end, you knew what he was like! He was miserably killed by us!" Zheng-Fu understood why the elder had such an expression. But he did not say anything on that point. It was normal for people to regard anyone with a lower energy level than themselves as weak.

You... You!

"Today, if I don't kill both of you, I don't want to live as a human anymore!" The former clan leader was so angry that his face turned dark red, almost black. Hearing his son's name was like taking a powerful stimulant. Therefore, unable to control his emotions, he gathered his energy and released it all to put pressure on the two enemies immediately.

Huh!

"Did you think it was a good idea to take action? Do you think there's only this number of us here?" But Zheng-Fu in the clone figure still had the same calm expression. Because he knew which tricks he should play with the Former Hong Clan Leader.

Huh!

It was very effective. The elder immediately stopped his actions and stared worriedly at Zheng-Fu's clone figure. Before he glanced to survey his surroundings. He then expanded his survey to cover the entirety of Hong Clan Manor.

"You don't have to waste time surveying. No matter what, you can't find them. I'll tell you a little bit. The place where we are is where the Hong Clan's people gather the most!" As Zheng-Fu's clone figure finished speaking, he smiled wickedly with great satisfaction.

Hah!

"Hurry to activate the tactical formation in the main hall! Order everyone to prepare..."

Shhhhh!

"If you don't want them to die, you should calm down and obey us easily. Otherwise..., if ones of us over there kill them, you'll regret it even more, Former Hong Clan Leader!" Zheng-Fu still did not know the true location of the Hong Clan's treasure chamber. Therefore, he had to keep the elder's life first. The secret room he encountered the other day was just a fake room filled with traps. And throughout the many days he spent in the Hong Clan, he still could not find it.

Everyone stops!

"Step back first!"

The former clan leader had a hideous expression on his face. He was both angry and frightened at the same time. He was angry that he could not do anything. And he was afraid that the remaining clan members would be killed.

"So, what do you guys want?" The elder knew that he had fallen into the other party's trap. But he still did not give up and secretly sent a message to his two grandsons. And he was waiting for the answers about what the situation was inside, so he had to delay the enemy's time.

"I have already told you. Just give all of the Hong Clan's treasures to us. Including you've to destroy your energy foundation. After that, we'll let your Hong Clan go!" Zheng-Fu did not know that the elder had secretly sent the message because his attention was only on the treasure chamber.

"All right! I'll give all of the clan's treasures to you. But you must first swear that you'll let my clan go!" The elder pretended to think for a moment before agreeing and making Zheng-Fu swear that he would let the Hong Clan go.

"Of course! But we've to see all the treasures first. Otherwise, this agreement is void!" Zheng-Fu grinned in satisfaction. Anyway, he did not agree and swore right away. He just told the elder to show him all the treasures, or he would have to take him to see the treasure chamber first.

"As for that..."

Tooooot!

Ah!

Huh!?

"Looks like you didn't do as we agreed! That's good! Since you chose the path that will cause your Hong Clan to collapse, don't blame us for being cruel!"

Immediately, the former leader received a reply from his eldest grandson, including several elders and pillar persons. Everyone in the hall already knew what had happened. However, it was not just the elder who got the answer. Zheng-Fu also got the same answer. Because his true body was still in the main hall, using Hong-Bai-Chen's face and figure.

You... You!

The former clan leader was shocked and frightened when he heard Zheng-Fu's words. He did not think Zheng-Fu would know. Because that message was only sent to the Hong Clan's members. The hidden enemies and not of the Hong Clan's bloodline could not receive it.

"How do you know?" the former clan leader asked fearfully. But before he could get an answer, the shrill and tortured cries sounded out.

Arrrrrrrgh!

No!!!

Don't kill me! Don't...

Release me! Don't kill me!

Augh!!!

Zheng-Fu instantly transferred his mind back to his body. Before he proceeded to murder everyone in the hall in cold blood and not caring who each of them was. His first target was the Hong Clan's grand young master, or Hong-Xuan's eldest son. Because the young man was the closest to him and the strongest person in that hall. So, he had to kill him first. And because he disguised himself as the second young master, everyone, therefore, did not suspect him and chose to stay close to him. Therefore, when he took action, all the Hong Clan members in the hall were unable to regain their composure and prepare themselves in time.

In just a short while, everyone in the hall had been killed. Only Zheng-Fu, in blood-covered Hong-Bai-Chen's body, was still standing alone. And when Zheng-Fu saw that there was no one left alive, he immediately left the hall and went to where the former clan leader was.
