Chapter 681

Hearing Jia Xu's words, everyone's expressions became very ugly.

"Let's go, let's go in and see first!"

As Ma Chao's voice fell, soldiers of the Qilin Legion immediately stepped forward and pushed open the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

Seeing this, Ma Chao walked into the City Lord's Mansion first, and everyone seeing this followed closely behind.

As everyone walked deeper into the City Lord's Mansion, the smell of blood permeating the air became heavier.

Soon, everyone followed the smell of blood and arrived before a room in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

"The smell of blood in this room is the heaviest. It seems the source is inside!" Cao Cao said to everyone.

And at this time, Ma Chao stepped forward and pushed open the door directly.

"Hiss…… these…… these monsters are truly damnable! They actually dare to do such things that anger both heaven and man!"

They saw what came into view was a blood pool in the middle of the room, and in the blood pool, there were quite a few broken bodies floating.

Seeing this scene, everyone understood why there was no one in this Dingyuan City.

And behind the blood pool, there was also a cage, and quite a few people were still imprisoned inside.

However, when everyone looked at these people, their expressions instantly sank.

The faces of these people were pale, their clothes were tattered, and the cage was emitting bursts of foul odors.

Moreover, these people all had dull eyes and sluggish gazes, just like walking corpses.

"This evil obstacle! It was truly too easy for her to die!"

"If I had known earlier that she treated the civilians in the city like this, this official would definitely have made her wish she were dead!"

At this moment, Cao Cao looked at the tragic scene before him and could not help but curse angrily.

"Now saying these things is useless. It seems these people are the survivors in the city."

"However, looking at the expressions of these people, they were clearly all soul-extracted by that fierce ghost, and they are already beyond saving!"

Xun Yu, hearing Cao Cao's words, looked at the people imprisoned in the cage and said somewhat helplessly.

"Sigh! Let's send them on their way; it can be considered helping them find release!"

At this moment, a complex expression also appeared on Jia Xu's face, and he said in a low voice.

Hearing Jia Xu's words, Xun Yu and the others also nodded somewhat heavily.

Immediately, a Vast Righteous Qi surged from the five of them and shrouded those people.

And as the Vast Righteous Qi appeared, the smell of blood in the air also began to slowly fade.

Soon, those imprisoned in the cage, under the shroud of the Vast Righteous Qi, began to dissipate.

As the body of the last person turned into golden light spots, illusory figures also appeared before everyone.

These phantoms bowed gratefully to Xun Yu and the five, and their bodies completely dissipated.

……

Da Qin World.

Da Qin Empire, Xianyang Imperial Palace.

A voice that was awe-inspiring without anger came out from the Qilin Hall.

"One Gai Nie, one child!"

"A mere two people actually caused the entire 300 elite iron cavalry of Da Qin to be wiped out."

"Looking at such a battle report, I feel it is somewhat absurd!"

"Thinking back then, Da Qin attacked the Chu State, lost 100,000 troops, and returned in defeat!"

"The second year, I mobilized five times the troops and had Wang Jian lead the army. Even the powerful Chu State was wiped out under the iron cavalry of Da Qin!"

"Since 300 people cannot catch Gai Nie, then I will send 3,000 people, 30,000 people, 300,000 people!"

They saw in the Qilin Hall, Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng sitting high on the dragon throne, wearing black imperial attire, and said with a majestic expression.

Hearing the anger in Ying Zheng's tone, Li Si, as the Prime Minister of Da Qin, immediately stepped forward and said to Ying Zheng:

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"

"My Da Qin iron cavalry is skilled in charging and breaking through enemy lines on the battlefield, and capturing cities."

"But for a Jianghu martial artist like Gai Nie, especially Gai Nie who belongs to the sword cultivation path, it is not what they are skilled at."

"The intelligence obtained by this official indicates that Gai Nie's defection is by no means an accidental event, but has the shadows of the remnants of the six states within it."

"All signs indicate that the remnants of the six states are brewing a huge conspiracy against the Empire!"

Ying Zheng, hearing Li Si's words, said with disdain:

"Humph! How powerful were the six states back then, and didn't they still vanish into smoke under the iron cavalry of my Da Qin!"

"Nowadays, my Da Qin is even more powerful than it was back then. Just relying on those rats hiding in the darkness, they still want to pose a threat to my Da Qin Empire. They are truly ignorant of life and death!"

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Li Si hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty's words are absolutely right, but these Jianghu martial artists also have their strengths. To avoid unnecessary casualties to my Da Qin soldiers, this official feels that to deal with these Jianghu martial artists, we need to fight poison with poison!"

"Oh? Fight poison with poison? Are you thinking of using Jianghu martial artists to deal with Gai Nie!"

Hearing Li Si's words, Ying Zheng instantly understood his intention.

"Your Majesty is wise, that is exactly so!"

"Gai Nie is a disciple of the Guigu School, Guiguzi, and the successive masters of the Guigu School only take two disciples in their lifetime."

"And this Guigu School has a peculiar rule, and that is that among these two disciples, one is Vertical, and one is Horizontal!"

"Between this Vertical and Horizontal, in the end, only one person can survive to inherit Guiguzi!"

Hearing these words from Li Si, Ying Zheng also instantly understood his plan and immediately said to Li Si:

"Since that's the case, then I will leave this matter entirely to you, Li Si, to handle!"

Li Si, upon hearing this, was instantly overjoyed and immediately replied respectfully to Ying Zheng:

"This official obeys the decree!"

After Li Si left, Ying Zheng stood alone in the empty Qilin Hall and muttered to himself:

"Gai Nie……"

"Remnants of the six states……"

……

Ten days later, outside the Mo Family Mechanism City.

At this moment, in the mountain forest outside the Mo Family Mechanism City, a raging fire was burning.

A group of Mo Family disciples were flying rapidly towards the direction of the Mo Family Mechanism City.

And on the other side, Meng Tian and Prince Fu Su were quietly waiting with 50,000 Golden Fire Cavalry.

These two were the ones sent by Ying Zheng to wipe out the Mo Family, one of the various schools of thought.

"General Meng, tell the soldiers to be ready. After the fire recedes, the army will attack the Mo Family Mechanism City!"

Watching the fire spreading towards the Mechanism City, a look of unbearable emotion flashed across Fu Su's face, and then he shook his head fiercely and said to Meng Tian.

"This subordinate accepts the order!"

And on a mountain peak not far from the Mo Family Mechanism City, there were several figures silently watching everything that was happening.

These people were none other than the leaders of the Ju San Liu Sha, the number one Jianghu assassin organization that made everyone hear their name and change color.

"Senior brother, so many years have passed, and I, junior brother, have already broken through to the Martial Emperor First Heaven. I don't know if you have broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm all these years."

"I suppose with your strength, senior brother, you must have reached the Martial Emperor Realm, right?"

White-haired Wei Zhuang looked at the Mechanism City crawling in the distance and muttered to himself in a low voice.
