Chapter 328 [Inner City]

At this moment in the courtyard, the scene already counted twenty-nine corpses!

Especially the nine elders of the Blackwood Tribe who died here, which means almost all the high-level members of the Blackwood Tribe are now gone!!

With only one elder not present at the scene, the high-level members of the Blackwood Tribe have been completely wiped out!

This enormous upheaval unfolded before their eyes, shocking all but the Hundred-Year-old Venerable’s incarnation, the young Lu Kang.

However, Chen Yan suppressed any change in his expression, seemingly as calm as Lu Kang, merely observing the entire process of the East Sea slaughtering the elders of the Blackwood Tribe like chickens.

After sheathing his sword, East Sea calmly walked around the scene, inspecting each corpse and reaching out to collect the storage magical artifacts they carried.

Watching this, Chen Yan couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh.

Beside him, Lu Kang smiled: "Fellow Daoist, why the sigh?"

Chen Yan thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Just marveling at human nature."

The round-faced female cultivator next to them looked at the two in terror, her voice trembling: "Aren’t, aren’t you the least bit afraid?"

Lu Kang turned around, looking at the round-faced female cultivator with a gentle expression: "Rest assured, he said he wouldn’t kill us."

Round-faced Female Cultivator: "..."

"This fellow Daoist is right. Lord Sword Master singled us four out, perhaps for specific instructions. Moreover, we know our own business and have absolutely no involvement in these internal disputes of the Ghost Race, hence there’s nothing to worry about." said the male cultivator among the four.

This guy’s demeanor was evidently much stronger than the round-faced female cultivator. He pondered for a moment, clasped his hands in salute to Chen Yan and Lu Kang, and slowly said: "Though Lord Sword Master mentioned our names, I’ve yet to introduce myself."

His tone became solemn as he spoke: "I am Luan Yi, a loose cultivator. By sheer luck, with some savings left by my forebears, I sold everything and barely managed to buy a Heaven-Crashing Ceremony token at an auction, which allowed me to come here."

The round-faced female cultivator hesitated, then returned the salute: "My, my name is Gongsun Li, an offshoot of the Central Plains Gongsun Family, although several generations removed, I have little connection to the main sect. Because an elder in my family once fortunately saved the life of an important figure in the Gongsun Family’s main sect, I received a favor and used it to exchange for this Heaven-Crashing Ceremony token..."

Chen Yan said: "I am a disciple of the Celestial Demon Yin Yang Joyful Sect, Zhao Shanhe."

Upon hearing this, both Gongsun Li and Luan Yi’s expressions changed, with Luan Yi immediately saying: "So you are from the Saint Sect, no wonder you are extraordinary."

Finally, Lu Kang said blandly: "Loose cultivator, Lu Kang."

His introduction was the simplest, but seeing his indifferent expression, nobody felt it appropriate to ask more. However, the round-faced female cultivator Gongsun Li couldn’t help but glance at Lu Kang once more.

"Finished with the pleasantries?" East Sea had already walked over, covered in fresh blood, exuding evil qi, and looking at the four with a cold expression.

Luan Yi and Gongsun Li were intimidated by East Sea’s bloody appearance and immediately fell silent, their expressions solemn. Only the young Lu Kang slowly nodded and said: "We were waiting for Lord Sword Master’s instructions."

East Sea glanced at Lu Kang, seemingly frowning, but then nodded and said: "You four, come with me now."

"May I ask where Lord Sword Master is taking us?" Gongsun Li asked.

East Sea, however, was too tired to answer, turning his head and walking towards a portal on the edge of the courtyard that had been knocked open. Among the four, Chen Yan was the first to step forward, followed by Lu Kang, then Luan Yi. Seeing that East Sea paid her no attention, Gongsun Li hesitated for a moment, but seeing her three companions go ahead, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and follow.

The floors above and below this earthen building had long been emptied. After those two prior massacres, everyone had fled, especially those licensed for the Heaven-Crashing Ceremony. Some who left waited outside, seemingly trying to get news.

But soon after, there were screams and dueling technique sounds from inside, and another group of Blackwood Tribe elders rushed in...

Such commotion naturally drew attention.

When East Sea led the four out of the earthen building, many people had already gathered outside.

In addition to those licensed for the Heaven-Crashing Ceremony who left earlier, there were many Blackwood Tribe Ghost Race people, and even some patrolling Ghost Race samurai gathered around.

Seeing East Sea emerge in his bloodstained robe, some of the patrolling Ghost Race samurai were about to step forward but were stopped by East Sea waving his sleeve and coldly shouting: "By the decree of the forefather, the unlawful have been executed, the nine elders of the Blackwood Tribe have been put to death, the remaining people shall be dealt with accordingly!"

As he spoke, two golden decree law seals appeared on his body, and with the shimmering golden law seals, the surrounding Ghost Race samurai and onlookers all kneeled down.

East Sea, with his head held high, passed through the crowd, who parted to make way, respectfully watching him leave, with Chen Yan and the others closely following, heading towards the stone city of the Blackwood Tribe.

Below the stone city, a formation of Ghost Race samurai guarding the inner city had already been deployed from within. From afar, they saw East Sea approaching, and the burly Ghost Race samurai leading them dared not stop him, dropping his weapon to the ground and kneeling respectfully by the city gate road, not daring to move.

East Sea led Chen Yan and the others straight through the city gate. As they passed under the gate, East Sea paused slightly, instructing the kneeling Ghost Race samurai leader by the roadside: "Who are you?"
