Chapter 90: Chapter 85: Slaying 5 Venerable Envoys, Empty Vegetable Patch

Upon the vegetable patch, numerous Jianghu People in assorted garb were watering and fertilizing the plants, just like farmers.

At the edge of the patch, a few figures in identical black robes were conversing in low tones.

"Another batch of vegetables ships out tomorrow."

"The eerie presence has grown much thicker. It won’t be long before it emerges."

"That bitch, the Dark Venerable Envoy, is nowhere to be found. We’ll need her to lure the entity to Shengyun County when the time comes. I hope she doesn’t screw things up."

"Light Venerable Envoy, I know you two don’t get along, but this isn’t the time or place for such talk."

There were five black-robed figures in total, all of them Venerable Envoys of the Upper Evil Sect.

The Light Venerable Envoy, a balding middle-aged man, snorted. "That bitch’s abilities are unique. Why else would she be in charge of this operation?"

Seeing their words had no effect and that the Light Venerable Envoy was starting to complain again, the other four shook their heads in unison.

They said no more and returned to waiting patiently. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

The night was pitch-black. Only a smattering of moonlight filtered down, casting a layer of what looked like Jade Light. Paired with the deathly still, eerie presence, it was enough to make one’s blood run cold.

The five Venerable Envoys let out a yawn.

The cool weather was enough to make anyone feel drowsy, even a Cultivator.

Just then, the faint sound of a footstep suddenly broke the silence.

Under normal circumstances, the sound might have gone unnoticed. But in the dead silence of this moment, the footstep was clearly audible to the Venerable Envoys.

It wasn’t just them; even the members of the Upper Evil Sect tending the vegetables heard it.

"Who’s there!"

The Light Venerable Envoy was the first to react. He snapped to his senses and turned his head toward the source of the sound.

He turned his head so fast that it spun a full circle on his neck.

In the dead of night, the Light Venerable Envoy’s head spun a full 360 degrees—a truly horrifying sight.

The next moment, a hand clamped down on the top of the Light Venerable Envoy’s head.

Before the eyes of the other four Venerable Envoys, a man tore out the Light Venerable Envoy’s head, spine still attached, and held the bloody trophy in his hand.

The utterly horrifying scene snapped the four Venerable Envoys to their senses.

They turned to see a plainly dressed man with a longsword at his hip, staring at them with an icy gaze.

"Insects of the Upper Evil Sect, back to cause trouble in Shengyun County again," Shen Bai said coolly.

"It’s Shen Bai! Run!"

Without a moment’s hesitation, the Venerable Envoys turned to flee.

Shen Bai smiled. "It seems Zhang Chaofeng really did pass my information to the Upper Evil Sect. But it doesn’t matter. You’re all enemies... no, you’re all dead men."

The moment he finished speaking, Shen Bai drew the longsword from his hip.

The blood-red light of his blade, imbued with a magnificent, righteous aura, flashed like sunlight cleaving the darkness, instantly multiplying into countless strikes.

The four Venerable Envoys were engulfed by the sword light, immediately feeling the weight of a life-or-death crisis crushing them like a mountain.

They spun around, intending to put up some resistance to buy time to escape.

But in the next instant, the Level 4 Blood Sword Dance swept across their chests.

In the black of night, with the blessing of his Shadow Walk’s Night Combat Attribute, his power was easily enhanced.

Shadows swirled around Shen Bai’s body, making him seem like an Emperor of the night descending upon the world.

"BOOM!"

A deafening roar erupted.

The four Venerable Envoys couldn’t even put up a fight; in a flash, they were four dead bodies.

The other members of the Upper Evil Sect tried to flee.

Just then, a flurry of fine needles appeared. Under Qin Shuang’s manipulation, they became a countless, whistling gale that pierced through the chest of every Upper Evil Sect member.

In a matter of moments, Shen Bai and Qin Shuang had made their move, leaving nothing but a field of corpses on the ground.

Qin Shuang stared at Shen Bai, an increasingly complex expression in her eyes.

"You... you’re stronger again..."

"How on earth do you practice your Cultivation?"

In the few short days since she had last seen him, Qin Shuang found that Shen Bai’s strength had increased by a precipitous leap.

Especially the shadows swirling around Shen Bai’s body, like something from a Nightmare; a single glance sent a bone-deep chill through Qin Shuang, as if she had been plunged into an ice cellar.

Qin Shuang couldn’t understand it. Even the prodigies of Fenglin State, who consumed elixirs like they were meals, couldn’t match Shen Bai’s rate of growth.

’He’s hiding his strength. Maybe his true power is far beyond this... perhaps he’s even stronger.’

This was the only thought in Qin Shuang’s mind.

’He’s definitely holding back.’

’If he wasn’t, I’m afraid all the prodigies of Fenglin State, myself included, would want to just smash their heads against a wall and die.’

Shen Bai glanced around, his gaze lingering on the vegetable patch ahead. "This isn’t the time to discuss that."

The members of the Upper Evil Sect were dead, but the eerie entity remained unresolved. That was Shen Bai’s main objective for this trip.

As for Magistrate Li, they had Chairman Qian as evidence. For Qin Shuang, the State Governor, this would allow her to uncover more leads later.

Dealing with the matter at hand was the most important thing.

Shen Bai walked to the edge of the vegetable patch and plunged his longsword into the earth.

This struck Qin Shuang as very odd.

She didn’t know what Shen Bai was planning, but she offered a word of caution anyway.

"Shen Bai, be careful. We can dig up the patch slowly and investigate the entity’s situation first."

"There’s no time."

Shen Bai circulated the Qi within his body.

Qin Shuang froze. "What do you mean ’no time’? You... What are you..."

She couldn’t finish her sentence, because the scene before her was too shocking.

As Shen Bai circulated the Qi in his body, a terrifying scene unfolded.

Countless tips of blood-red Sword Qi began to jut out from the vegetable patch, forming a dense and terrifying mountain of blades.

A single one of those terrifying blades of Sword Qi could effortlessly slay a Cultivator of the Three Treasures Realm, to say nothing of this many.
