My Son-in-law Is A War God

Chapter 571: Chapter 572 Hades_1

The Martial Dao Master hadn’t noticed that while he was investigating the Saber God’s case, someone was always shadowing him in secret. This person was so powerful that he, the formidable Martial Dao Master, failed to detect their presence.

He arrived near the house that had once been burned down by a great fire. Due to rumors of it being haunted, no one had bought the land to rebuild.

The house was almost the same as before.

He went inside and carefully examined every brick and tile from that year.

The reason he was sent here was that he had worked as a detective abroad and knew some criminal investigation techniques.

Suddenly, he saw something.

It was a trace, a dragging mark. Although many years had passed since the fire, since no one had entered, the marks had surprisingly been preserved.

The Martial Dao Master’s breathing suddenly became rapid; he had a terrifying thought, one that was not only frightening but also bold.

If his conjecture were confirmed, then the Saber God’s death that year might have been staged, or perhaps he was killed by someone else and then the place was set ablaze.

"I must tell the Clan Leader about this," he said.

He took out his cell phone and began composing a text message.

However, at that instant, a horrifying killing intent locked onto him.

He reacted extremely quickly and, abandoning any concern for appearances, rolled on the ground to another spot while sending out the unfinished text message.

He realized he might never be able to finish composing that message. If he continued, it was likely that he wouldn’t be able to send anything at all.

"Saber God?" he whispered.

He held his phone in his hand, looking towards that figure.

The other party was wearing a bizarre mask, looking as if they had stepped out of mythology.

He didn’t know who it was, nor could he feel it; he could only guess.

But the masked figure didn’t speak and attacked once more.

He clenched his teeth, threw his phone away, and turned to flee.

He knew all too well that he was no match for this person, that only by running might he have a sliver of a chance to live.

After all, this was Dual Saber Town, and there were many people outside. The masked person wouldn’t dare to kill someone easily in the town, or it would risk exposing them if the matter got out of hand.

Yet, the Martial Dao Master had still underestimated his opponent.

A whooshing sound came from behind, and a brick struck him squarely in the back. He spat out blood and fell flat on the ground, his spine feeling as though it had snapped.

Too strong.

The disparity in strength between him and his adversary was simply too great; there was no comparison at all. He struggled to turn his head towards the figure, fear evident in his eyes.

"Who on earth are you?" he asked.

The person approached, step by steady step, each one hammering down on the Martial Dao Master’s heart.

An extreme discomfort!

"You don’t need to know who I am, for you are about the journey through Hades," the person said.

Their voice was clearly altered, suggesting the mask wasn’t just for concealing their face but also had a voice changer.

"The Netherworld beckons you. If you must know my identity, just remember the name Hades," they said.

Hades!

That name was utterly unfamiliar to the Martial Dao Master. He shook his head; what point was there in guessing now? He no longer had a chance to relay the information he’d found.

"I didn’t expect that someone could find clues from such trifling marks. How interesting," the masked person said.

They removed their mask, revealing a face that struck the Martial Dao Master with utter terror.

"Saber God! It really is you!" he exclaimed.

"Now, you can die a bit more peacefully," the Saber God said, smiling. "You Shi Family Village people really do poke your noses into everything. Is Shi Xingfan seeking death? His master wasn’t a match for me in the past; what’s more, him."

As soon as he finished speaking, he made his move, and a flash of saber light twinkled.

The Martial Dao Master’s eyes widened.

The other party didn’t give him any chance to continue questioning and struck immediately.

At that moment, he actually hadn’t seen how the other person drew the blade.

The Saber God, truly worthy of his name!

The Saber God gently closed the eyes of the deceased and sighed, "I’m sorry, but I can’t let you destroy our ideals.

Although you didn’t deserve to die, you had to die."

He walked over and picked up the deceased’s cell phone.

Seeing the message on it, a murderous intent flickered in his eyes, "This message of yours could doom the Shi Family Village, no one can know our secrets.

Whoever knows, must die."

"You all, take the body away. He died in the line of duty, let’s allow him to return to his hometown and rest in peace."

The Saber God wasn’t one to revel in wanton slaughter, he couldn’t even be considered a villain.

But for the sake of his ideals, he could eradicate everything standing in his way.

Several shadows appeared, stuffing the body into a sack, then vanished from Dual Saber Town.

At Shi Family Village, Shi Xingfan stared at the message, his brows deeply furrowed.

The message contained only three words: "Guessed right."

Then there was no further context. Whether he called or sent messages, there was no response.

He knew that person might have already been killed.

His expression was extremely grim.

What did ’guessed right’ mean?

He knew all too well!

It was precisely because he suspected that the Saber God hadn’t died that he had sent people to Dual Saber Town.

This Saber God had close ties with the group that attacked Tianhai City in the past.

Little did he expect that all his guesses would turn out to be correct.

He felt a pang of distress; after all, the one he had sent to Dual Saber Town was his own nephew. The man was dead without his body ever being found, a truly heartbreaking matter.

But he had no time to grieve, for he thought of something even more terrifying.

If the other side intended to silence witnesses, they wouldn’t just kill his nephew, they might even come to Shi Family Village to eliminate all its people.

He immediately called Xiao Chen, "Young Master, I have found conclusive evidence. Hurry to Shi Family Village!"

After receiving an affirmative response, he hung up and walked out the door.

If the Saber God truly was alive, all members of the Shi Family Village combined might not be able to withstand him.

But still, they had to prepare.

Otherwise, by the time the Saber God descended, it would all be too late.

And perhaps it wouldn’t just be the Saber God.

Once, he too was an admirer of the Saber God. While sitting together and drinking, they had discussed some matters.

Back then, he felt that the Saber God’s ideas were somewhat terrifying.

"Why can’t the gratifying concept of vendetta from the novels be replicated in reality?

We, the people of the rivers and lakes, despite possessing great strength, don’t live as well as ordinary people, and I cannot accept that.

This world should be ruled by us!"

Those words were insane.

Moreover, the Saber God had once contacted many like-minded martial artists in an attempt to create a powerful organization.

But he eventually failed and was thwarted by the Mo Sect’s current Sect Leader.

After that, the Saber God had retreated into the mountains and later died a mysterious death.

If it was simply the Saber God rising from the ashes, it might be easier to handle. The man wasn’t too clever and was easier to deal with.

But what worried him most was if someone had subdued him; that would be terrifying.
