Free Web NovelChapter 74: Chaos in Maple Leaf City
Tang Yin headed straight towards the main headquarters of the Shan family, which was where the normal treasury of the Shan family was located. There was no formation around this treasury, there were supposed to be guards around this treasury guarding the place all day and night. However, Xiao Fei had burnt them to a crisp.
Tang Yin used brute force to break into the treasury, the treasury was large and contained a huge number of items ranging from herbs, ores, Spirit Stones, Medicinal Pills, Artifacts, Demonic Beast corpses etc. Everything one could think of was available inside the treasury.
Tang Yin looted the whole place clean, his storage ring was packed to the brim, and he had to bring out his spare storage rings to fit everything. Tang Yin made sure to take the Tier 9 Training Manual and 2 High-tier Spirit Stones inside the treasury. The 2 High-grade Spirit Stones were mostly there as a way to show off the partial wealth of the Shan family. Tang Yin looted the place clean, he searched the treasury many times over to make sure he did not miss anything.
minutes later, loud shouts and screams of horror rang out from many areas around the Shan family. Many mortals and cultivators had finally discovered the extermination of the Shan family, the corpses and burnt bodies of thousands of people had left all the people who arrived on the scene to almost break down. This was a very traumatic sight in their lives that they would never forget.
Before long, the news reached the ears of Mo Jian and the Nie family Patriarch, disbelief coloured their faces. The Mo family and the Nie family mobilised some of their Elders and a large number of their disciples and rushed to the Shan family’s territory.
Once both families arrived, the sight that greeted them caused many disciples to vomit in shock and disgust. They had never seen such a brutal and horrific scene in their lives.
The Elders and Patriarchs of both families were shocked to the very core of their being. Even in their long lives, they had never seen the extermination of a family.
The Patriarch of the Mo family and also the City Lord of Maple Leaf City was a handsome middle-aged man, his brows were tightly knitted, and he seemed to be in deep thought.
The old Patriarch of the Nie family approached Mo Jian, "Senior, who or which power could have exterminated the Shan family right under our noses without us realising until now?" he asked with an expression of remaining shock and lingering fear.
Mo Jian was at the 1st stage of the Spirit Vein Condensation Realm, while the Nie family Patriarch was at the 9th stage of the Physique Transformation Realm. He had to address Mo Jian as ’Senior’ due to the large disparity between their strengths.
"I don’t know, but the person or organization which exterminated the Shan family must’ve had a deep grudge considering the brutal way the members of the Shan family were slaughtered." Mo Jian spoke his thoughts.
"City Lord, there... is" A disciple of the Mo family stuttered before fainting. Mo Jian’s attention was attracted by this sudden development, he walked towards the area the disciple had pointed to before fainting. A hint of fear appeared in Mo Jian’s expression.
A proud cultivator at the 1st stage of the Spirit Vein Condensation Realm donned an expression of fear, this was a rare sight most people would never see in their lives. The Nie Family Patriarch followed behind Mo Jian, he was greeted by the same sight, he felt as if a bang had rung out in his head.
He saw the mutilated corpse of the Shan family’s Patriarch impaled on a large pole, his body parts had also been separately impaled beside the large main pole. There was still blood dripping down from each impaled pole, the area beneath the pole was soaked in blood.
Many disciples of the Nie and Mo family also saw this, some fainted, some vomited even more violently, and a few had even fallen to their knees with monstrous fear etched all over their expressions.
The Elders of both families remained rooted to the spot, an expression of shock and terror was present on all of their faces. Although they fared better than the disciples, it was not by much.
"All disciples heed my order. From now on, nobody is allowed to speak or leak any information on this matter. Anyone who is found mentioning this matter will be personally executed by me" Mo Jian roared at the Elders and disciples. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
His words were directed towards both families, the Nie family Patriarch did not refute him.
The next morning, Maple Leaf City descended into chaos.
"Hey, did you hear that the Shan family was destroyed overnight?" A teenager mentioned and asked his friend. This was a trending topic in the city, one of the 3 main families in Maple Leaf City had disappeared overnight, and this could not be covered up.
"Yeah, I heard. Everyone is talking about it, but who or which family could destroy one of the 3 main families in Maple Leaf City overnight?" The other teenager asked another question.
"Nobody knows, the City Lords Mansion has forbidden any of their disciples from leaking any information. Therefore, we only know the Shan family no longer exists but not who or which family was responsible." The teenager replied with a clueless expression.
