"Wangcai, did you smell a familiar scent from this?" Chen Yang asked tentatively.
Woof woof!
Wangcai responded simply, indicating confirmation.
This caused the trio to perk up instantly!
A familiar scent possibly means that Wangcai can directly find the culprit behind the Chen Family Village massacre.
Woof woof!
Before Chen Yang could ask further, Wangcai suddenly barked towards the depths.
Wangcai has obviously found the escape route the killer took.
Moreover, Wangcai’s intense reaction suggests that a significant discovery awaits; otherwise, Wangcai wouldn’t react like this.
"Brother Chen Yang, what does Wangcai mean?" Xiao Hu asked curiously when Chen Yang remained silent.
"Wangcai probably discovered the location of the murderer, which is why it’s behaving this way," Chen Yang explained.
"The location of the murderer?" Xiao Hu exclaimed in surprise.
Almost twenty-four hours have passed. Could it be that the murderer hasn’t left and is still in this forest?
Lisa was equally surprised. She never imagined the murderer would still be lingering nearby.
Yet, they wouldn’t question Chen Yang’s words too much.
"So what should we do now? Gather a team to search the forest or follow Wangcai ourselves?" Lisa asked for Chen Yang’s opinion, feeling unsure.
Chen Yang thought it over and said, "Both methods are viable, but gathering a team might alert the enemy. You two make the decision."
Upon hearing this, Lisa and Xiao Hu exchanged glances and ultimately decided that the three of them would pursue the matter.
Despite not knowing the strength of the six individuals, having Chen Yang with them gave them confidence!
"Let’s pursue them; we can’t miss this opportunity," Xiao Hu said, full of fighting spirit.
"Mm." Lisa also nodded, indicating she wanted to pursue them directly.
With both agreeing, Chen Yang wasted no time, leading Wangcai towards the depths.
Wangcai’s nose was incredibly sharp, moving through the forest swiftly like an arrow.
Chen Yang, Lisa, and Xiao Hu followed closely, deliberately quieting any sounds to avoid alerting the enemy.
After a fast pursuit of over half an hour, Wangcai suddenly stopped among some rocks.
Chen Yang, Lisa, and Xiao Hu quickly halted, scoured the surroundings cautiously, and made no sound.
"What’s the situation?" Lisa did not speak but gave Chen Yang a querying look.
Chen Yang didn’t answer immediately, instead observing Wangcai’s reactions.
Wangcai then lifted its head, directly pointing towards a large rock not far away.
Understood in seconds.
Discovery near the rock!
And it might be a major find! Otherwise, Wangcai wouldn’t remain silent.
With Wangcai’s cue, Chen Yang immediately glanced at Lisa and Xiao Hu.
The two understood instantly, cautiously dispersing to encircle the large rock.
Then, they approached slowly!
After advancing about three or four meters, they were shocked to see six figures hanging upside down on a tree near the rock!
The six had their ankles hooked on branches, arms naturally folded across their chests, resembling bats hanging on the tree resting!
Lisa and Xiao Hu were taken aback by the sight!
Chen Yang was only slightly surprised, as expected, it was them!
Blood Bat Hall!
Aside from the people of Blood Bat Hall, no other force would rest in such a bizarre posture.
They all cultivate a very eccentric cultivation technique.
Those who learn the technique unconsciously mimic bats’ habits and bodily reactions.
This scene entirely confirms that point, doesn’t it?
Phew!
Upon seeing these people, flames fiercely ignited in Chen Yang’s heart.
Because at that moment, he seemed to grasp why Chen Family Village fell to massacre.
The villagers of Chen Family Village were likely akin to his lineage, having escaped from the Chen Family back then!
Due to exposure for some reason, they faced slaughter by these six individuals!
"Die!" freeweɓnovel.cøm
Perhaps due to the surge of bloodline intuition, after realizing this, Chen Yang’s murderous intent erupted! Without a word to Lisa or Xiao Hu, he drew the Stone-Cutting Sword and slashed out.
Swish swish...
A robust and ferocious sword beam shot out.
The meek group hanging on the tree had no time to react! Three were immediately beheaded, falling from the tree.
The remaining three reacted a tad quicker. The sword beam, while decimating the first three, briefly slowed down, granting the others time to react.
Acutely aware of the imminent threat, they instinctively dropped, successfully dodging the sword beam!
"Who!"
Their leader was a peculiar man with exceedingly dense hair.
A head with razor-sharp hair like spikes, and glaring monster-like claws stood out.
The other two looked relatively normal, not as terrible as the leader.
"Go!"
At that moment, seeing Chen Yang had already struck, Lisa immediately called on Xiao Hu, moving closer to form a tight encirclement.
"Who are you to dare attack us? Are you asking for death?" The peculiar leader barked again when Chen Yang paid him no mind.
"Aren’t you the Blood Bat Hall monsters who’ve cultivated wicked arts?" Xiao Hu stepped forward indifferently.
He discerned these three weren’t highly skilled; their leader’s strength only reached the Gathering Spirit initiate level.
The other two were merely in the Qi Cultivation Realm, no match for them.
And the peculiar leader equally acknowledged the formidable realm of Chen Yang and Xiao Hu, hence appeared exceedingly grim.
Fighting was futile.
Escaping seemed infeasible too.
All they could do was try leveraging their background to frighten Chen Yang and Xiao Hu away.
But it never occurred to them, Chen Yang, Xiao Hu, and Lisa had already deduced from their actions that they belonged to Blood Bat Hall.
And they weren’t afraid at all.
"Knowing we’re from Blood Bat Hall, you still dared strike? Aren’t you afraid of our Hall’s revenge?" The leader continued threatening, attempting to intimidate Chen Yang and Xiao Hu.
Let alone Chen Yang, why would Xiao Hu and Lisa fear Blood Bat Hall?
Though Blood Bat Hall boasts considerable power, their Secret Bureau surpasses it.
If they were at fault initially, they’d have ample justification to apprehend these people.
"Ha, if we feared, would we have acted?" Xiao Hu smirked and said nonchalantly.
The peculiar leader furrowed his brow again, realizing it’s hard to resolve.
"Who are you?" the leader asked impatiently.
"Secret Bureau." Xiao Hu declared.
"Secret Bureau?" The leader was taken aback, his expression becoming exceedingly unpleasant.
His mind broadly grasped the reason now.
"Yes, Secret Bureau, the massacre in Chen Family Village last night was caused by you six beasts, wasn’t it? Not sparing a single person in the village, you monsters cultivating evil arts sure don’t take yourselves as human." Xiao Hu couldn’t help but scold.
The peculiar leader’s face was grim, yet held onto hope, saying, "What Chen Family Village, we have no idea. Don’t fabricate things, or our Hall Master will not let you off."
"Not admitting? No problem, we have plenty of evidence." Xiao Hu rubbed his fists, poised to strike.
Lisa fixed her gaze on the peculiar leader and said, "Surrender peacefully, and you’ll suffer less."
"Hmph, dream on."
Seeing they couldn’t argue their way out, the peculiar leader snorted coldly and turned to flee.
He knew fighting wasn’t viable, only escaping offered a glimmer of hope, hence the immediate attempt to run.
But practically speaking, escape held no hope! fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Chen Yang had already locked onto them! None could escape!
"Want to leave? Stay!" Chen Yang bellowed, charging forward with his sword.
