Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Qingyun County! Celestial-Rank Sacrificial Artifact!

This powerful aura made Mo Songshi, who was watching from the side, twitch his eyelids uncontrollably.

He couldn’t help but exclaim internally; no wonder even the Gang Leader fears the Profound Bird Guards.

Looking at it now, the Celestial Sea Gang that he was so proud of is probably just a slightly bigger ant in the eyes of the Profound Bird Guards.

Facing this overwhelming force, the four assassins from Yanyu Building couldn’t last even the time it takes for an incense stick to burn; they were all killed on the spot.

Soon after, a lightning-fast figure sped from a distance, it was the Yellow-level Profound Bird Guard pursuing the lead assassin!

In his hand, he still carried a lifeless corpse—the very head assassin who attempted to escape.

As he leapt onto the second floor of the inn, the Yellow-level Profound Bird Guard casually tossed aside the corpse and coldly said,

"We’re leaving!"

It was only after the Profound Bird Guards had left that Mo Songshi, who had been holding his breath in fear, dared to take a deep breath.

Even a figure in the Blood Refining Realm has personally stepped out!

Seeing the bodies on the ground and the nearly destroyed inn rooms, an invisible rage surged within Mo Songshi.

Of course, Mo Songshi dared not harbor any resentment towards the Profound Bird Guards.

What angered Mo Songshi was that these bastards just had to come to his jurisdiction at the Hidden Dragon Inn.

Fortunately, those Profound Bird Guards were very principled and did not involve him.

Otherwise, the consequences could be imagined.

Thinking of this, Mo Songshi angrily kicked out, sending the nearest body flying into the distance.

The Profound Bird Guards are not someone the Celestial Sea Gang can afford to offend.

But the people from Yanyu Building? Our Celestial Sea Gang can definitely afford to offend them.

"Damn Yanyu Building, these insidious, filthy, unscrupulous bastards."

"You, take these bastards back to the Celestial Sea Gang; I shall personally report to the Gang Leader."

"The bastards from Yanyu Building, our Celestial Sea Gang will never let this rest!"

Within just one day, the number one gang in White Dao Prefecture’s city began its move.

Under the order of the Celestial Sea Gang Leader, all secret liaison points related to Yanyu Building, lurking in the city, were uprooted.

Especially in the city’s underground black market, seeing such a big move from the Celestial Sea Gang had everyone trembling in fear.

Because the liaison with Yanyu Building assassins and the bounty assassination tasks mostly take place in this dark, sunless underground market.

"How did Yanyu Building offend the Celestial Sea Gang?"

"It seems the Celestial Sea Gang is serious this time."

"The Gang Leader has already issued a statement."

"From now on, anything related to Yanyu Building is forbidden in White Dao Prefecture’s city; violators will face the Celestial Sea Gang’s wrath."

"Tsk, tsk..."

Qingyun County City.

In the dead of night!

Outside the city gates, silence and darkness prevailed, only occasionally disrupted by the noises of small animals.

But at this moment, a few shadowy figures were reflected on the city gates of Qingyun County.

As the shadows gradually shortened, a few strangers silently arrived at the city gate.

An old woman draped in a white robe, supported by several young women, walked to the outside of the city gate.

"Hey, who’s there?"

Several night-watch guards on top of the city gate awoke from their drowsiness.

Because they saw a few people under the city gate who looked very eerie.

The guards’ faces showed fear, and they drew the knives from their belts, holding them tightly in their hands.

They hoped to use the knives in their hands to muster courage!

After all, seeing a few people appear suddenly under the city gate in the middle of the night would make anyone feel a chill of terror.

The words of these guards prompted a reaction from the people standing under the city gate.

The hunched old woman and the young women supporting her slowly lifted their heads.

The guards felt their scalps tingle, and their hair stood on end upon seeing their faces.

Even the knives tightly held in their hands fell to the ground at that moment.

"Ghosts!"

The leading old woman, with a frightfully ugly face, still smiled at them.

Those young women, with wooden expressions and lifeless eyes, had no trace of human emotion and seemed like puppets controlled by strings.

The guards were just about to sound the alarm and alert the guard unit below when.

A gust of wind swept through, and the old woman’s figure vanished from the city gate like a phantom.

Following a flash of a shadow, she leaped onto the city wall, almost floating in a bizarre manner, silently landing behind the guards.

The old woman’s emaciated hands swiftly reached out, forming claws as hard as steel, directly crushing the heads of the city gate guards.

Drip, drip!

Puddles of red and white liquid spilled onto the ground, spreading along the city wall before flowing into the distance.

"Cackle, cackle!"

"The blood of Qingyun County’s city is still as alluring as ever!"

"Much better than the people in that little village."

This old woman was an elder of the Pure World White Lotus Sect, dwelling in the Hivernal Mountains.

With no more threats from the Observatory, she could finally emerge from the dark, sunless deep mountains without worry.

"The corpse fiend’s anomaly in Lanshan County must be giving those damned Profound Bird Guards in White Dao Prefecture a headache by now."

"Cackle, cackle!"

When entering White Dao Prefecture, the old woman had passed through Lanshan County and coincidentally witnessed the resurgence of a bloodthirsty corpse fiend.

So she decided to add fuel to the fire, intensifying the eerie yin energy of the corpse fiend.

The blood lotus flower of Lanshan County Magistrate Su Quanchuan was the blood sacrifice she left for the corpse fiend.

The blood lotus flower was cultivated with the blood and flesh of numerous blood-fed humans.

Once Su Quanchuan broke through to the Blood Refining Realm, it would be his turn to become food for the bloodthirsty corpse fiend.

After successfully consuming Su Quanchuan’s blood and flesh, even martial artists at the early stage of Inner Qi would find it difficult to eradicate its yin energy.

In that case, Li Chengfeng, that old ghost, would inevitably be drawn to Lanshan County.

This way, she could fulfill her purpose in Qingyun County city as she pleased.

After forcefully shaking off the blood from her hand, the old woman retrieved a bowl-sized bronze vessel from her sleeve.

The greenish bronze vessel looked quite ordinary, without any special features.

Yet it filled the old woman’s eyes with excitement and fervor.

It was as if she had seen the most precious thing in the world.

"Hibernal Ritual Vessel!"

This was the thing she had left at Liugou Village years ago, containing a dire anomaly sealed within it!
