Chapter 49: Chapter 49, The Mysterious White Cloud Villa
Translator: 549690339
As expected, the Seven Kill Saber Technique was terrifying, and the black wolf died without much resistance.
“Let’s go in and see what exactly happened to the Black Wolf Gang?”
Lu Yun, who didn’t even look at the dead black wolf, was surrounded by a white agressive aura. He turned into a white streak of light and rushed into the Black Wolf Gang’s territory.
There were no survivors, only scattered and broken bodies and bones everywhere. The houses and buildings were greatly destroyed, but there were no traces of martial artists fighting.
“The accident of the Black Wolf Gang should be related to that demon beast outside, right?” After checking around, Captain Wang, based on what happened just now and his many years of experience, made such a conclusion.
“That makes sense, but things are definitely not as simple as we see.”
Lu Yun expressed his doubts.
There were no remains of a second demon beast here, which proved that the black wolf he killed outside was the Spirit-Connected Demonic Beasts of the gang leader of the Black Wolf Gang.
Logically speaking, after such a long time together, the leader of Black Wolf Gang and his Spirit-Connected Demonic Beasts wouldn’t easily turn on each other.
There must be other changes in this matter, but the specific reason is unknowable.
At this time, Xiao Chen, who was standing by the side, spoke up lightly: “Demons and humans have been natural enemies. There is simply no possibility of reconciliation. The Black Wolf Gang merely used some methods to temporarily tame the demon, but their methods were crude with many restrictions. It was inevitable that they would face revenge once certain conditions were triggered!”
“This black wolf has advanced from Second Rank to Third Rank. Its strength far exceeds the leader of the Black Wolf Gang. It broke free from its enslavement, and the anger that had accumulated over many years of enslavement reached its limit. Coupled with the deep desire in its bloodline towards human beings, its slaughter of the entire Black Wolf Gang is only to be expected.”
“Hmm, this explanation is good, but since the leader of the Black Wolf Gang knew that there were flaws in his enslavement methods, why did he let it grow to this point and allow it to continue to live?”
Lu Yun continued to analyze: “The breakthrough of the black wolf demon beast, the possibility of it being accidental is very small, or to say other forces are at play.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen’s eyes brightened and he couldn’t help but respond: “You mean, the reason why the black wolf demon beast advanced to Third Rank and broke free from its enslavement was because of others?”
“Correct, but exactly who acted out, and what was their reason to destroy the Black Wolf Gang by forcing a Second Rank demon beast to break through? These are all mysteries.”
At this time, Captain Wang finally interjected: “Could it be that the Black Wolf Gang is the base of the White Lotus Sect in Green Cloud County, and they deliberately allowed the demon beast to destroy everything in the Black Wolf Gang in order to erase some traces?”
Xiao Chen shook his head gently: “Indeed, the White Lotus Sect has this capability, but they don’t have the motive, and whether the Black Wolf Gang is the base of the White Lotus Sect, we have no evidence.”
Lu Yun nodded, agreeing with Xiao Chen’s view.
However, shortly after, he suddenly remembered the footprints they saw on the road earlier. Those two- foot -wide footprints were obviously much larger than the four-footed black wolf demon.
A guess appeared in his mind, but he quickly suppressed it, truly finding his guess unrealistic.
“Perhaps I’m worrying unnecessarily!” Lu Yun shook his head lightly.
Without any gains at the Black Wolf Gang, only one target remained for Lu Yun and Xiao Chen, and that was the White Cloud Villa.
The three of them searched around the Black Wolf Gang once more and gained quite a bit.
After the distribution was completed, the three of them began to leave the Green Cloud Mountain Range and headed in the direction of White Cloud Villa.
Not long after Lu Yun and the others slew the Black Wolf, deep within the Green Cloud Mountain Range, a massive body suddenly opened its eyes. Its eyes were like two still planets, emanating a soft light, deep and vast like the sea.
“It doesn’t matter, it is just a small pawn that 1 casually moved. It’s no big deal!”
Soon after, it fell back into deep sleep.
The White Cloud Villa was located on top of White-I lead Mountain, in the other direction of the county.
By the time Lu Yun and the others arrived at the foot of the White-Head Mountain, the sunset had already spread across the sky, gradually turning into dark clouds.
Captain Wang suggested: “It’s already dark. How about we find a farmhouse at the foot of the mountain and rest for the night, and then climb the mountain tomorrow morning?”
Lu Yun and Xiao Chen almost simultaneously said: “No, we go up the mountain now!”
The investigations of Black Tiger Village and Black Wolf Gang had confirmed that they had no connections with the White Lotus Sect. Now the only suspect left was the White Cloud Villa.
It could be said that it was pretty much certain that there was a problem with the White Cloud Villa. Even if it is not the base of the White Lotus Sect, it must still have connections with the White Lotus Sect.
At the foot of White Head Mountain, one could vaguely see some lights from the farmhouses. But from halfway up the mountain, there were no signs of human habitation.
However, from halfway up the mountain, various strange and rare medicinal plants were planted, and they grew very well.
Lu Yun even deliberately picked a few to try. Unfortunately, his energy value on the panel did not change at all.
This made Lu Yun feel frustrated for a while.
By the time they climbed up to White Head Mountain and saw the silhouette of White Cloud Villa from afar, night had completely fallen.
At night, the White Cloud Villa, which should have been bustling and brightly lit, seemed quiet and dark, with only a few scattered dim lights guiding the far-coming Lu Yun and the others.
“Is there a small population in the White Cloud Villa?” Lu Yun asked Captain Wang.
Previously, Captain Wang had simply introduced the Villa Master Qin Meng and the second Villa Master, Yun Feiyan, of the White Cloud Villa, only briefly describing its scale.
“Not many, but it won’t be less than two to three hundred people,” he replied. But while answering, Captain Wang’s eyebrows furrowed, as he obviously discovered some problems as well.
It was early in the night, and logically, the grand White Cloud Villa should be brightly lit. But what they saw was the opposite, which seemed abnormal.
“There’s something wrong with the White Cloud Villa. Young Master Xiao, Young Master Lu, we need to be careful from now on!” As Captain Wang warned them, he began to carefully observe the surroundings.
His injuries from the Green Cloud Mountain Range haven’t fully healed. If an accident really happens next, it would be a bad thing for him.
“Isn’t this already within our expectations?”
Different from Captain Wang’s caution, Lu Yun and Xiao Chen were somewhat pleased and excited.
If the White Cloud Villa is indeed the base of the White Lotus Sect, then the purpose of their visit is almost half accomplished. As long as they erase it, they can return to the Martial Academy.
As for whether they can erase it, the two are not worried.
The reason for this is their confidence in their own strength.
Especially Lu Yun, who had just slain a Third Rank demon beast, this confidence was even stronger.
“I am aware that both of you have strength far superior to martial artists of the same rank, but the White Cloud Villa is different from the bandit camps like the Black Tiger Village. They have a lot of powerful…”
Before Captain Wang could finish speaking, a loud noise suddenly rang out in the quiet night..
