Chapter 1300: - s Shades! (3)

"Especially the altar masters of each Zhoufu. Every single one of them is a highly skilled martial artist."

"And, and..."

Xu Dashan, who had been speaking smoothly, suddenly started to stutter.

"And what?"

Li Deshang pressed on.

Xu Dashan didn't speak immediately but instead got up, closed the hall door, and then returned to the three of them, speaking in a lowered voice, "And there are 'Divine Envoys'!"

"Divine Envoys?"

It was the first time Li Deshang had heard this term.

Jia Youcai looked even more puzzled; he didn't even know that the 'Transmigration Cult' existed in the Zhoufu, only thinking that it was an emerging cult force around 'Mountain City.'

In fact, he seemed to be faintly looking forward to it.

After all, the taste of [Blood Mist Evil Spirit Bead] was quite good.

"Yes, Divine Envoys, rumored to come and go without a trace, able to take lives undetectedsome say that the imperial spies sent out were all never to return because of these Divine Envoys!"

Xu Dashan spoke in a voice only a few could hear.

"These?"

"There is more than one Divine Envoy?"

Li Deshang caught the key words.

"Right!"

"Based on some information we gathered from Red Fragrance Alley, there are at least four Divine Envoys of the 'Transmigration Cult,' as we have gathered, but as for whether there are more, I cannot be sure."

Xu Dashan stated truthfully.

And without waiting for Li Deshang to ask further, he added.

"These four Divine Envoys are three men and one woman, with their specific ages unknown, but all are ruthless characters."

"Except for the woman whose strength is not clearly displayed, among the three male Divine Envoys, one can spew flames and melt gold and iron, another sends frosty blasts with his fists and feet, freezing living beings instantly, and the remaining one is the most troublesome, not only is he mysterious and elusive, but he can also seize souls and kill invisibly."

"The four have never appeared simultaneously."

"But each time only one appears, it stirs up a lot of commotion, leaving people shocked and scared."

As Xu Dashan spoke, Li Deshang frowned.

He had never heard of any Divine Envoys.

But what Xu Dashan was saying sounded unbelievable to him.

Spewing flames and melting gold and iron.

Sending frosty blasts with fists and feet, freezing the living.

Also seizing souls and killing invisibly.

Isn't this something that even a martial artist who has mastered 'skin training' couldn't achieve?

Perhaps in legends, martial artists can reach a higher level?

But is it possible?

Does the 'Transmigration Cult' have such experts?

Li Deshang pondered internally, his expression turning serious once more.

He thought he had already overestimated the 'Transmigration Cult,' but still, he had underestimated them.

'I must petition Zhoufu Office again.'

'It requires strict defense!'

Li Deshang mused internally.

Jason suddenly understood, realizing that the Divine Envoy with the [Blood Mist Evil Spirit Bead] he encountered earlier was likely the most troublesome among the three male Divine Envoys mentioned.

'I wonder what 'food' the remaining three Divine Envoys will bring.'

Jason speculated about the taste of the food.

His gaze turned towards the outside of the hall.

Footsteps, swift ones, sounded as a constable stumbled and rolled his way in.

"Sir, Chief, Mr. Mu, something terrible has happened!"

"Dead, they're all dead!"

"And, and..."

The constable spoke with a sobbing tone.

His voice was stuttered, unable to complete his sentences, clearly frightened.

In an instant, all four present stood up.

"Calm down, what happened?"

Jia Youcai asked his subordinate.

"Chief, the six families that the adults had us surround are all dead!"

"And, and..."

"Come with me and you'll see."

The constable said, casting a frightened glance at Jason, then led the way without daring to speak further.

Jason was the first to step forward.

There was no malice on this constable, nor any deathly aura; his heart was just pounding rapidly, coupled with the panic on his face and the look he gave Jason, it was enough to indicate he had seen something terrifying.

Moreover, it was something related to him.

Li Deshang and Jia Youcai followed without hesitation.

Xu Dashan hesitated for a moment before following.

He didn't want to go.

But Xu Dashan knew very well that he was already caught up in it.

Going could give him a bit of an initiative.

If he did nothing and just waited here, then he would truly fall into passivity.

As a fairly successful businessman, Xu Dashan was very clear about the importance of taking the initiative.

He waved a hand towards his attendants.

Immediately, a dozen strong men armed with clubs emerged, dividing into two teams, one to guard Red Fragrance Alley, and the other followed behind Xu Dashan.

Li Deshang and Jia Youcai glanced briefly, saying nothing.

Both knew what Red Fragrance Alley was about.

Having those people was expected.

As for bringing some along?

That was also understandable.

After all, with Mu Bai there, they weren't worried.

Moreover, they weren't without their own resources.

A team of twenty musketeers followed behind the carriage as it left Martial Arts Street, with the men holding clubs following a bit further back, and at the front was a team of five constables holding torches.

Jia Youcai drove the carriage, while Jason, Li Deshang, and Xu Dashan sat inside.

The journey was unimpeded, and the group arrived at the mansion of the Zhang Family in the city.

The constables and yamen runners had it surrounded on all sides.

Seeing Jason step out of the carriage, they, like the previous constable, displayed a flash of fear in their eyes.

Jason frowned.

Without pausing, he walked straight into the mansion.

Bodies!

From the corridors to the hall, the way was lined with bodies!

Bodies forcibly blasted to pieces!

And on the wall next to the garden gate of the second courtyard, blood spelled out five large characters

The killer is Mu Bai!
