Chapter 150 Hossin
The young man said, "There is a formation at the place where the last group of people died, but the sect elders don't know what kind of formation it is, so they can only ask for help from outside, which is why they issued a reward notice."
The young man then looked at Ye Qingshuang and asked, "If you didn't come because of the bounty notice, then why?"
After listening to what the boy said, Ye Qingshuang took out a token.
The boy was astonished when he saw the token: "Heavenly Spirit Sect's sect token! You're the Heavenly Spirit Sect Master?"
"Hmph." Ye Qingshuang put away the token and looked at the boy with displeasure: "You've been away from home for ten years, and now that you're back, your home is gone."
The boy chuckled awkwardly, unsure of what to say.
Ye Qingshuang, however, had no intention of letting the young man off the hook: "Does the Zhaoyue Sect not check the sect's decree when buying land?"
The boy lowered his head.
"You dared to buy it without the sect token? Do you think that even if I come back, I can't do anything to you?"
The boy lowered his head even further.
"When I came back, my home was gone, I hadn't received the seller's money, and you treated me like I was there to collect a bounty. Do you think that's reasonable?"
The boy buried his head between his legs, not daring to utter a sound.
There's no denying it; their sect is in the wrong.
Ye Qingshuang looked at the boy and sneered, "Now you know to hide your head? Where were you before?"
The boy replied sullenly, "It's not something I can decide."
"It's true that it's not up to you to decide, but you're a member of the Zhaoyue Sect. Is it wrong for me to dislike you?"
"No problem, no problem." The young man was terrified that Ye Qingshuang might be displeased and he would lose his head, so he was as humble as he could be.
Seeing his appearance, Ye Qingshuang grew angrier and angrier: "What's your name?"
Boy: "Zhao Wenyang."
"Zhao Wenyang, raise your head and speak."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wenyang immediately sat up straight and looked at Ye Qingshuang: "Sect Leader Ye, please ask whatever else you want. As long as I know the answer, I will definitely tell you."
"What was the cultivation level of the last group of people who died?" Ye Qingshuang asked. "The spirit mine is dangerous. Your bounty notices attracted so many people, and you took them all to the spirit mine. Aren't you afraid they'll die there?"
Zhao Wenyang said, "There is still danger, but with the elders there, they will take action if anything happens. As for asking everyone to go over there, there is no other way. After all, the formation is over there, and the only way to see it is to go over there."
After Zhao Wenyang finished speaking, before Ye Qingshuang could ask any questions, he said, "Sect Leader Ye, it is indeed dangerous over there. How about I send you back?"
"No," Ye Qingshuang said. "Since we're already here, of course we should go and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wenyang fell silent.
Ye Qingshuang ignored him and turned to the others: "Everyone be careful when we get there."
The group nodded, indicating that they understood.
...
After flying for about an hour, the bird slowed down and began to descend.
Ling stood up, walked to the edge of the bird, and looked down.
Seeing this, Ye Qingshuang followed, and the two stood at the edge of the bird and looked down, seeing many flying beasts and people.
"So many?" Ye Qingshuang was a little surprised: "It seems that the reward offered by Zhaoyue Sect is quite attractive."
Ling Yi turned her head to look at her: "You have ideas?"
Ye Qingshuang nodded: "A little, but life is more important."
Ling Yi remained silent upon hearing this, so Ye Qingshuang asked, "Ling Yi, can you see anything?"
Ling Yi shook her head: "I can't tell anything right now."
Ye Qingshuang didn't ask any more questions after hearing this.
The bird quickly stopped. Once it stopped, Ling Yi and the others, along with Zhao Wenyang, got off and headed towards where the group of people were.
"Senior brother!" Zhao Wenyan saw his own people and rushed over, asking, "Didn't the main force arrive early this morning? Why are they all outside and haven't gone in to check?"
"They went in," the man being questioned sighed. "But everyone who went in is dead, and the elders are carrying the bodies out."
Upon hearing this answer, Zhao Wenyan was speechless. He was dead again…
"Weren't the elders here? Why didn't they save them?" Zhao Wenyang was upset. So many people had died without even knowing what it was. What were they going to do next?
The man who had been watching the dead was also upset, and his tone was equally somber upon hearing this: "The elders are all here, but it's too late. The other side moved too quickly."
"So what do we do now?" Zhao Wenyang said, "The reason we issued the bounty is to attract more people so they can find out what it is. Now that people are going in and dying, will anyone else dare to go in?"
The man shook his head; he didn't know either.
Zhao Wenyang fell silent.
"No one dares to go in?" Ye Qingshuang asked.
Upon hearing the voice, Zhao Wenyan quickly introduced her to her senior brother, "Senior brother, she is from the Heavenly Spirit Sect..."
"Ahem." Ye Qingshuang interrupted Zhao Wenyang's introduction with a cough.
Zhao Wenyan looked at Ye Qingshuang, and after seeing Ye Qingshuang shake her head, she understood that Ye Qingshuang did not want to reveal her identity now, so she said, "They also came after receiving the bounty notice, but they were a little late. I saw them earlier, so I brought them along."
"I see." After the man finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Wenyang and said, "Wenqing told me to tell you to stay outside and not go near that side."
Zhao Wenyang nodded: "Senior brother, I understand."
"You've got it," the man said. "Don't go over there, I have to go now." With that, the man left.
After the man left, Ye Qingshuang looked at Zhao Wenyang and asked, "Were you afraid you would encounter danger if we didn't let you go over there?"
“Yes.” Zhao Wenyang nodded: “The Wenqing that Senior Brother mentioned is my older sister. She is the most powerful disciple in the Zhaoyue Sect.”
Zhao Wenyang spoke of her sister with great pride.
Ye Qingshuang glanced at him, said nothing more, and turned to Ling Yi: "Shall we go in and take a look?"
Ling Yi said, "No rush, let's go check the body first."
"You want to see the body?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Wenyang quickly replied, "I'll take you there."
The group did not refuse and followed Zhao Wenyang to the place where the bodies were placed.
There were many people at the place where the body was placed. Zhao Wenyang led Ling Yi and the others to squeeze in and saw the condition of the body.
The clothes on the corpses were intact, without any signs of damage, but their blood was gone.
Ling Yi stared at the corpses for a moment, then stepped forward, grabbed the hand of one of the corpses, rolled up its sleeve, and exposed its arm.
As soon as the arm was exposed, Ling Yi saw the tiny holes on it.
No wonder, no wonder the clothes weren't damaged, but all the blood was drained.
Extremely tiny things pierced through their clothes and entered their bodies, sucking all their blood away.
Ling Yi looked at the tiny holes. Were they threads?
Just as Ling Yi was pondering, a memory surfaced in her mind.
The hooded child removed the hood and the ugly mask from his face, revealing a pair of clear, blue eyes as clean as the sky after rain. Those eyes looked at her and said, "Hoshin, that's my name."
“Huo Xin…” Ling Yi followed her memory and uttered the name.
