"From that day on, they officially entered the ranks of the Spirit Hall's suppression."
Bai Chenxiang recounted with some choked sobs.
How despicable—
The bastards of Spirit Hall.
Listening to Bai Chenxiang's pitiful account, Zhuge Lan was also burning with anger.
Just in time—
Qian Renxue, the young master of the Spirit Hall's Hall of Worship, was also present.
Zhuge Lan couldn't help but look in the direction of Qian Renxue.
His eyes carried a murderous intent that he couldn't hide at all.
Qian Renxue: What? Watching you two lovey-dovey and hugging, eating dog food, you still want to kill the dog?
"Continue telling me."
Zhuge Lan gently put his left arm around Bai Chenxiang's waist.
His right hand caressed her dark, smooth long hair.
Every day since that day, some clansmen would go missing each time they went on missions in the wild.
This news reached Elder Mo, who was in charge of issuing wilderness missions.
"Elder Mo, it's been four consecutive days."
"A team has gone missing every day."
"We can't find any trace of them. What should we do?"
The speaker was Runtu, Elder Mo's capable disciple.
Runtu's soul power was also very strong.
Among the younger generation of the Speed Clan, his strength also ranked in the top ten.
Elder Mo also frowned deeply, leaning back in his chair.
"Should we report the situation to the clan leader?"
Runtu suggested to Elder Mo.
"No!"
Before Runtu could finish speaking, Elder Mo loudly stopped him.
"If the clan leader finds out that I lost these people,"
"and I don't even know the reason,"
"I'll be scolded to death…"
Elder Mo rebuked, somewhat embarrassed and angry.
"But…"
Runtu wanted to say something.
"No buts!"
"It's getting late now."
"How about this? Tomorrow, you take five of the stronger juniors."
"Go to the more distant outskirts to search for the whereabouts of those who have gone missing."
"See if you can find any clues."
Elder Mo said helplessly.
"Yes!"
Runtu replied firmly.
"Wait a moment."
Elder Mo called out to Runtu.
Then, he got up and slowly walked towards the wooden cabinet next to the table.
He bent down and pulled open the bottom drawer.
Because it hadn't been opened for many years, dust instantly flew out, surrounding Elder Mo.
The Tyndall effect even appeared under the light.
"Give you this."
Elder Mo took out a dark green pendant from the drawer and wiped it with his hand.
It turned out it wasn't dark green; it was just covered in dust from being stored for too long.
"This is a one-time playback recording soul tool."
"I've injected some soul power into it."
"Take it with you. If you encounter danger, crush it immediately!"
"It can record the 10 minutes before it was crushed and transmit the images to me through soul power."
"Be careful!"
Elder Mo earnestly instructed.
"Okay!"
Runtu took the jade pendant and turned to leave Elder Mo's room.
"I hope there won't be any accidents," Elder Mo muttered to himself, feeling a trace of unease in his heart.
The next morning, Runtu gathered five young people with the strength of Soul Kings early in the morning.
They headed towards the depths of the forest further away from the castle to investigate.
During the search, Runtu and his group passed a towering tree.
In the center of the tree trunk, there was a very deep depression.
It was as if a sharp sword had been inserted with great force.
This ancient tree was almost four meters wide in diameter.
The opening was wide on the outside and narrow on the inside.
Extending nearly three meters deep.
Runtu determined that this was damage caused by some kind of sword.
Either a solid heavy sword or a sword made of soul power.
In Runtu's judgment, this destructive power was more like the latter.
Runtu looked into the opening.
He vaguely saw a piece of white cloth.
He couldn't help but feel shocked.
Could it be our clan's clothing?
Guessing in his heart, Runtu hurriedly reached into the hole.
The white cloth that came out indeed confirmed his guess.
Sure enough, someone from our clan has been killed!
The others were also shocked when they saw the cloth.
Who on earth would be so cruel?
To use such destructive power to attack our clansmen.
Runtu didn't dare to think too much and just wanted to continue chasing in the direction of the attack.
Deep in the forest, because no Soul Masters had been active for many years, the ground was covered with fallen leaves.
It even surpassed the entire ankle, making it extremely inconvenient to move.
It was also difficult to find clues.
Runtu and his group could only fly at low altitude to continue searching.
Suddenly, there was a very bright object among the leaves.
Through the refraction of sunlight, it flashed into Runtu's eyes.
He signaled everyone to stop flying, his eyes fixed on that area.
He flew straight towards the glowing object.
A bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
Runtu came to the thing.
He gently pushed aside the leaves next to it.
The body of a clansman faintly appeared!
Runtu was very nervous.
Because he had only pushed aside a little bit of leaves.
But the body of the clansman that was revealed, was more than just one!
"Everyone get out of the way!"
Runtu hysterically shouted.
He gathered all his strength.
All five soul rings appeared.
He pushed his palms forcefully towards the ground.
All the fallen leaves were blown away.
The scene that came into view directly stunned Runtu and his group—
More than a dozen corpses of young Soul Masters were lying scattered together.
Their heads were separated from their bodies.
Piled up messily.
Their faces still retained the fear and despair before their deaths.
Runtu's gaze slowly swept over the dozens of corpses of young Soul Masters with separated heads, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
His face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were filled with shock and fear.
The other five clansmen were stunned in place when they saw this scene.
Even though they were some of the stronger members of the Speed Clan's younger generation,
they could not have seen such a terrifying scene of slaughter.
One clansman even started vomiting directly.
"Oh, are there still people personally delivering themselves to our door?"
Three black shadows appeared in the sky at some unknown time.
Runtu looked at the three men in black in the sky.
The only remaining trace of reason pulled him back from the fear.
Runtu couldn't see through the true strength of these three men in black. At least they were Soul Douluos or higher!
Especially the one in the middle.
Just looking at him brought an invisible pressure.
Those were existences at the same level as the clan leader and elders!
At this time, Runtu had already prepared for death.
His eyes gradually became firm.
He held the jade pendant on his neck in one hand.
At the same time, he angrily roared at the men in black:
"Why are you doing this?"
"Because you shouldn't exist in this world."
The man in black in the middle said coldly, then waved his hands.
Two black shadows flashed and disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, Runtu and his group directly fell to the ground with the corpses of the other clansmen…
Instant kill.
Without any ability to fight back.
Runtu didn't even have time to crush the jade pendant in his hand…
After a while, a series of images transmitted back to Elder Mo's mind through soul power.
Elder Mo was in despair…
