222 The Panic of the Heavenly Fire Sect
Chu Bai did not know why the Heavenly Fire Sect, as an NPC sect, would target him.
However, he was really angry.
Perhaps, with his original temper, he could endure it and even be too lazy to care about this matter.
He would have just let them be.
However, at this moment, Chu Bai was very angry, perhaps because he was affected by Shura’s Will.
He was determined to get back at them.
Then, Chu Bai picked up the items dropped by those people, as well as the few tokens. He rode the carriage alone and returned to Tianhua City with the supplies.
“What?”
When the city lord heard Chu Bai’s words, he gritted his teeth.
More than ten Gold Guards were killed.
Most importantly, it was not the bandits who killed the Gold Guards.
Instead…
It was people from the Heavenly Fire Sect.
“City Lord, is this the token of the Heavenly Fire Sect?”
Chu Bai took out the token.
“Yes!”
The city lord held the token and nodded.
“Where are they?”
“I killed them all,” Chu Bai said. “Their bodies are over there.”
“I’ll send someone to the place you mentioned. If it’s really people from the Heavenly Fire Sect who killed my people, I’ll definitely find the Heavenly Fire Sect to settle this matter.”
Those people were NPCs, and their deaths would not turn into nothingness.
If they died, their bodies would be left there.
Chu Bai did not pay attention to the city lord’s words.
Whatever he wanted to do, that was the city lord’s own way of doing things!
As for Chu Bai, he only wanted to vent his anger.
“City Lord, where’s the Heavenly Dragon Army?”
Chu Bai asked.
“Brother Bai Ye, what do you plan on doing?”
The city lord was stunned.
This matter had nothing to do with him.
However, when he said this, the city lord felt that Bai Ye was going to do something.
Chu Bai then said, “City Lord, the person they want to kill is me. The Gold Guards died because of me. Please let me handle this matter.”
The city lord frowned.
“How could that be? What kind of grudge can you have with the Heavenly Fire Sect? Why do they want to kill you?”
Chu Bai’s eyes narrowed.
When the city lord saw Chu Bai’s gaze, he suddenly panicked.
He could not describe what he felt, but he felt that his gaze made the depths of his soul tremble.
“It’s precisely because I don’t know that I’m even angrier.”
“We still need to clarify this matter…”
“No need.”
Chu Bai said coldly.
If they had made a mistake and wanted to attack him, then why could he, Chu Bai, not make a mistake too and attack them?
Then, Chu Bai looked at the city lord and asked,” City Lord, I want to contact the Heavenly Dragon Army.”
“Brother Bai Ye, it’s useless for you to contact the Heavenly Dragon Army. Why would they help you?”
Chu Bai then took out the Heavenly Dragon Token.
“The Heavenly Dragon Token!”
Seeing this token, the city lord revealed a shocked expression.
“The Heavenly Dragon Token of the first generation of the Heavenly Dragon Army… I understand.
“I’ll help you find the people from the Heavenly Dragon Army as soon as possible,” the city lord said.
“Thank you, City Lord.”
“You’re welcome.”
Then, the city lord hurriedly left.
…
Heavenly Fire Sect.
“Hmm? Was it successful or not? Why is there no news?”
Huo Yuan revealed a strange expression.
“Sect Master, could it be that it didn’t go smoothly?”
An elder asked.
“It shouldn’t be that bad. The cultivation of the left protector and the others isn’t low. They’re only dealing with one person. Even if there are Gold Guards over there, there are only a dozen of them. What can they do?”
“But…”
Huo Yuan was puzzled.
It had been a long time.
Logically speaking, killing them should not take much time.
Even if it did not work out, the left protector should at least have sent them a message, right?
“Men, send someone to take a look.”
Huo Yuan ordered.
“Yes!”
…
After a while…
Feng Ling arrived at the Heavenly Fire Sect.
“Hahaha! Young Swordsman Feng Ling.”
Huo Yuan smiled and walked over.
“Sect Master!”
“Come! Let me introduce you. This is my son, Huo Yuanba. You can get to know him.”
Huo Yuanba looked at Feng Ling and cupped his fists. “Thank you for saving my life, Brother Feng Ling.”
“Brother Yuanba, you’re too polite!”
Feng Ling smiled.
Of course, he came here for Bai Ye.
That was strange.
He knew that the Heavenly Fire Sect had made a move, but…
He had been staring at the level rankings, but he did not see Bai Ye’s level drop.
Could it be that they had not made a move yet?
Was it a bad opportunity?
He did discover that Bai Ye had returned with supplies, but he did not see any Gold Guards. He was not sure what was going on.
“We’ve already taken action,” said Huo Yuan. “There shouldn’t be any accidents.”
At this moment, an old man hurried in.
“Sect Master!”
Huo Yuan looked at the old man.
“Third Elder, how is it?”
The third elder said, “The left protector and the others… have died.”
“What?”
Huo Yuan and the others revealed dumbfounded expressions.
Feng Ling frowned.
No way!
Could they have been killed by Bai Ye?
Was the Heavenly Fire Sect not too useless, then?
They went to kill a player in the early stages of the game but were counter-killed by him?
“What exactly happened?”
Huo Yuan asked in a deep voice.
“I’m not sure either. When I went there, I saw the city lord of Tianhua City managing the battlefield. At the same time, he took away the bodies of the left protector and the others. Then, I quietly followed them.”
Huo Yuan revealed a worried expression.
“Left Protector and the others are dead. Did they kill the Gold Guards?”
“They killed them all.”
“This is bad!”
Huo Yuan paced around anxiously.
“That means the left protector and the others will be exposed. My Heavenly Fire Sect will also be exposed.”
Most importantly, the city lord represented the empire, and the Gold Guards of the city lord were the empire’s soldiers!
If they killed the empire’s soldiers, the empire would definitely be furious.
Of course, it was also possible that they would not do anything.
After all, if only more than a dozen people died, the empire probably would not want to send troops over.
Unless this matter was already known by everyone and the empire had no choice but to do something for the sake of face.
“Not necessarily. At most, only the city lord of Tianhua City knows about this.”
The third elder said.
Huo Yuan nodded.
Feng Ling frowned. “Sect Master, did you fail?” he asked.
Huo Yuan nodded again. “Yes, I failed. I don’t know what happened during this period. Could it be that Bai Ye?”
It seemed that this was the only possibility. Either that or someone else was involved during this period of time.
Feng Ling was definitely unwilling to accept this.
“It might not be Bai Ye,” he said. “There might be someone else.”
“Young Swordsman Feng Ling, we can only let this matter go for now.”
Then, Huo Yuan looked at Third Elder and asked, “Has City Lord Zhao Tianjun made any moves?”
“No, he hasn’t done anything yet. Could this matter… Could it be that he doesn’t plan to pursue this matter?”
“That should be the case.” Huo Yuan nodded.
He was slightly relieved.
“Third Elder, go to the city lord’s mansion and explain. Tell him that we already know about Left Protector and the others. However, tell him that Left Protector colluded with the demonic sect and was chased out by the Heavenly Fire Sect a few days ago. We also feel very sorry about this incident.”
“Understood.” Third Elder nodded. “I’ll head over now.”
