Chapter 30
Ma Wu’s Goodwill
The secret chamber opened.
There were not many people who went in. There were four guards with relatively strong reconnaissance abilities, Ma Wu, Su Yang, Ye Jiang, and Zhao Wenbin, the commander of Yonghe Town’s Martial Department.
There were a total of eight people.
As soon as the secret chamber was opened, a stream of blood smell seeped out from inside. Su Yang frowned and quickly used his sword intent to protect himself and hold his breath.
Su Yang observed Ye Jiang and the others. Their expressions were as usual. He did not know if they were the same as him or if they were really used to it.
The secret chamber was not very big, and at most two people could walk at the entrance.
After walking for a while, they suddenly saw the light. Upon closer inspection, they had arrived at a spacious cellar.
Here, the smell of blood was even stronger. As soon as they entered, they could see skeletons wrapped in skin in the center.
Other than the corpse, there was a table with some blueprints on it.
The guards quickly conducted a thorough search, and all the useful information was gathered.
93 skeletons… When he received this number, Ma Wu could no longer suppress his anger. A murderous aura erupted from his body and pressed down on the commander of the Martial Suppression Division.
“How does the Martial Suppression Division handle things? Zhao Wenbin, if you can’t give me an explanation for this matter, your position will come to an end.”
93 people had died. It was impossible for them to have died at the same time. This meant that the Evil Blood Cultivation Sect had been here for some time. This was only what they saw. In fact, there were far more than 93 people. However, people kept disappearing, but the Martial Department of Yonghe Town didn’t find any problems.
If Su Yang had not broken through this time, how long would Zhang Bao have hidden? Ma Wu couldn’t imagine the consequences.
It was said that Martial Suppression Division had become deeply corrupt, and the people mocked them with people mocking them as the “Two-Ignorant Division” – ignorant if you give them money, and ignorant if you don’t.
Ma Wu had never seen it before, so he didn’t think that the Martial Suppression Division would be as pathetic as the rumors said. But now, it seemed that what he had heard was even an understatement!
Zhao Wenbin’s legs went weak. When Ma Wu’s aura pressed down on him, it was like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood pressing down on him. The terrifying killing intent made his entire body tremble. He quickly said, “Sir, please calm down. I don’t know about this either. Someone must be hiding it from me. I’ll go back and investigate immediately. I’ll give you an explanation…”
“Humph!” Ma Wu snorted coldly and retracted his aura. “It better be so!”
“In addition, organize people to thoroughly investigate the entire Yonghe City and the surrounding towns. When they discover a heretic cultivator, it means that countless heretic cultivators have infiltrated this place.”
“In addition… This person is from the Big River Gang, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Seal off the Big River Gang. Before we investigate thoroughly, kill anyone who dares to do anything!”
Ma Wu did not dare to be careless in the face of such a terrifying existence, so the execution standard was the highest. He would rather kill a thousand wrongly than let one go!
Unlike the others, Ma Wu was more aware of the terror of the Evil Blood Cultivation Sect.
Twelve years ago, he was a young general in the Green Bamboo Army of Bamboo Willow County. That year, the Blood Sect had set up a massive array in Bamboo Willow County to offer blood sacrifices for the entire county. In just three days, Bamboo Willow County, which had a population of over a million, had lost 70% of its population.
That was… A total of 700,000 people!
The originally prosperous Bamboo Willow County changed after that incident. As far as the eye could see, they were all corpses, corpses without flesh and blood.
He had martial arts and was lucky enough to survive, but he had seen countless people being sucked dry by the Blood Sacrifice Array in front of him.
Those who lost their vitality were in so much pain that their faces were distorted. They would rather commit suicide than live for another second.
Every time news about the Evil Blood Cultivator Sect appeared in his ears, the painful expressions of those people from back then would unconsciously appear in his mind.
Over the years, it had become a knot in his heart. He only wanted to destroy them one day.
With his strength, it was a fool’s dream. Just twelve years ago, 700,000 people were sacrificed and someone from the Blood Refinement Sect broke through to the realm of martial arts grandmaster.
Above first grade was Grandmaster, and above Grandmaster was Great Grandmaster. He was just a mere third grade…What can be done is not much, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t do it.
At night, Ma Wu sent a letter to the Prefect of Tianfeng County to inform him in advance and make arrangements.
Meanwhile, the Martial Suppression Division was shaken that night. They first investigated who was hiding the fact that Zhang Bao had remained silent for many years. After the investigation, it was found that a Weapon Master had accepted bribes. In addition, Zhang Bao was the manager of the Big River Gang, so some of the exposed problems were settled for him.
The Weapon Master didn’t know how serious the matter was, so he just did what everyone else was doing.
Once the internal problems were resolved, the Martial Suppression Division would move out overnight to take control of the entire Big River Gang. Because they didn’t have enough manpower, Su Yang, Ye Jiang, and the other six candidates did not rest and followed suit.
That night, Zhao Dahe, the leader of the Big River Gang, was awe-inspiring in Yonghe City. He stood obediently in front of Ma Wu and didn’t dare to say anything.
Those who were close to Zhang Bao were all arrested and interrogated overnight, and the place where they lived was also investigated overnight.
In just one night, they found six more evil cultivators. However, they were not very strong. Two of them were in seventh grade and four were in eighth grade
Su Yang noticed that these people all had sin levels above their heads.
The sky had yet to brighten when the sound of horse hooves came from outside. The Windwolf Army rushed over overnight to take over Yonghe City, and the commander of Tianfeng Commandery’s Martial Suppression Division and some experts who specialized in reconnaissance had also rushed over.
At this point, Su Yang and the others could finally rest.
With Su Yang’s mortal body, it was really tiring to work for an entire night. However, he was thinking about how to get the heads of the six evil cultivators.
Without waiting for Su Yang to speak, a soldier came to inform him that Commander Ma wanted to see him.
When they arrived at the Big River Gang’s hall, it was completely different from the last time. Zhao Dahe stood obediently in the lobby while Ma Wu sat on the main seat.
When Ma Wu saw Su Yang arrive, he squeezed out a stiff smile. This was very strange for a person who had not smiled all year round to suddenly want to smile and appear kind.
“Su Yang, this time, I found out that you have made great contributions. I will ask the commander of the Patrol Department for your merit.”
“In addition, I see that you seem to want to kill the evil cultivators. How about you kill these six people?”
Ma Wu did not know the reason, but Su Yang’s thoughts had never been hidden, so he could see it. Since that was the case, he might as well do her a favor.
Su Yang was delighted, “Thank you, sir. I do hate these cultivators for using humans as pills. When I heard about it, I wanted to kill them all.”
“However, this is not purely to vent my anger. The cultivation technique I cultivate is more special. Killing evil cultivators to understand my heart will make my progress faster.”
Su Yang said the excuse he had long thought of.
Ma Wu nodded his head secretly. This was right, but it couldn’t change Su Yang’s righteousness.
Da Xia needed such a righteous person. This was the backbone of Da Xia!
