Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1432: Chapter 834: Night Raid!

Looking again at Pu Qinghan sleeping inside, he felt worried, but didn’t say anything. He copied the strategy onto his own phone and left with Huang Long.

The way their bodies flashed and vanished in an instant undoubtedly exposed how strong they were.

The others also wanted to go, but Ye Zixu and Sui Yi’s attitudes were extremely cold, making their hearts tremble and making them all the more certain that their friends were probably doomed.

But even if they ran into some wild beasts, it shouldn’t have been this deadly.

Could it be... Thinking of those news reports from not long ago, that Evil Path stuff was way too terrifying.

Could there be people of the Evil Path up the mountain?

"Go back to your rooms, rest up. If anything happens you can react in time."

Sui Yi said lightly, then closed the door.

Behind the door, Sui Yi’s brows were tightly knitted. She had just helped Pu Qinghan dispel the Asura Evil Qi, and her Magnetic Sensation had been used up too much; otherwise she wouldn’t have only been able to scout a single route.

But Ye Zixu and Huang Long shouldn’t run into any major problems.

————————

At this moment, under cover of night, Ye Zixu and Huang Long were shooting down the mountain along that route, searching from top to bottom. As they flew, they activated various techniques and methods on their bodies.

"That lady just now said there’s something unclean in this mountain. She means something came up here? That’s some spooky shit. I’ve been on this mountain for decades; I already cleared out all the stuff on it long ago. No way we’re that unlucky, right?"

Huang Long had his pride. He knew how strong Sui Yi was, but on this point he didn’t really trust her judgment; otherwise it’d be an insult to his profession, wouldn’t it!

"She’s never been wrong. And you’ve been on this mountain too long, you might not know—things down the mountain aren’t exactly peaceful anymore."

"Not peaceful? Martial Arts going global? Give me a break, I must’ve seen that news eight hundred times. I’m talking about evil things..."

"A few days ago, a batch of heavy criminals escaped from the Central Prison. You know about that?"

Uh? Huang Long was stunned. "That I really didn’t know. No way, the Central Prison is under that female Archer God’s jurisdiction. Not even a fly’s supposed to get out..."

"But it did happen."

Ye Zixu briefly recounted what had happened at the Secluded Office earlier, making Huang Long deeply wary. "If that thing’s out, the world’s going to chaos... Could it be the same batch tonight?"

"Don’t know. We’ll know once we find the people..."

As soon as he said that, Ye Zixu and Huang Long stopped at the same time. One summoned Green Fire; the ring-shaped artifact on the other’s waist lit up as he waved his hand and scattered a handful of powder. The powder and Green Fire shot forward from two angles. Wherever they passed, green light poured down, and when the powder hit the ground, it took root like seeds—tendrils of fresh green grass-vine drilled into the earth, then out again, surging forward... In just a moment, the Green Fire and the grass vines converged in one place.

It was a pit beneath a clump of shrubs.

Got them!

The two of them sprang over. As soon as they stepped onto the shrubs, by the light of the Green Fire they saw below them a pile of fresh corpses beside a campfire that still barely smoldered.

Their clothes were torn, all the flesh and blood had been devoured clean, leaving only heaps of snow-white bones.

"Jesus, even the blood’s been licked clean... This is brutal. An evil thing?"

Huang Long’s face went dark. He also caught a scent in the air that made him frown. Out of the corner of his eye he saw scattered clothing on the ground, among which were clearly women’s undergarments, obviously torn off by force.

His face and Ye Zixu’s both turned grim.

Evil Path!

Huang Long took a little red ball from his waist. The ball popped open at his fingertip and turned into a little red paper man.

"Xiaohong, sniff out the scent of these dogs and find them!"

Huang Long’s methods were indeed impressive, but when he turned his head he saw Ye Zixu had already leapt onto a tree.

"Over here."

"Huh? How do you know?!"

But the Little Paper Man drifted in the same direction as Ye Zixu indicated, clearly proving the latter was right.

Huang Long shot after him.

"Kid, how’ve you improved this much? Your tracking method’s damn good!"

He wasn’t even relying on external tools!

"She taught me."

"Impressive!"

The two of them moved fast, only to discover that the trail of the fleeing targets actually led...

Up the mountain!

Meanwhile, on the mountaintop.

It wasn’t just the hikers in those rooms who were sitting on pins and needles; even Huang Long’s daughter was uneasily staring at the heavy darkness down the slope. The room was brightly lit, but she still had this feeling...

Fear.

Just like back then...

She clapped her hands over her ears and shut her eyes, as if she’d gone back to that night long ago.

She had been curled up in bed with her mother. Her mother was already fast asleep. Ah Hei was curled up on the floor by the bed. She couldn’t sleep, so she opened her eyes... and saw the window being pushed open, a human head staring straight at her through the gap—
