Chapter 1313: Rest In Peace

Thousands of kilometers away from the battlefield, at a small town called Home Viewing Town.

Home Viewing Town was established close to a mountain and a river. Therefore, its sceneries were beautiful, and its fields were fertile. A famous farm village, it boasted a population and popularity similar to that of a commandery.

Home Viewing Town was most busy during the morning. After all, that was when all the work began.

By the time the cock crowed thrice, and the sun rose from the east, the town was a hubbub of noise and work already.

Today was different though. Today, Home Viewing Town was utterly silent. Forget humans, even the animals weren’t making a single noise. It was as if the entire town had gone missing or something.

Of course, Home View Town wasn’t missing. The townspeople weren’t dead or gone either. They had simply fallen asleep.

That’s right. Everyone in Home Viewing Town was snoring on their beds right now. Even the animals were slumbering in their pens, kennels, and the like.

It was a deep, unwakeable sleep that not even a thunderclap could wake them from. Worse, they did not inhale, only exhaled.

Their breaths were faint red in color and smelled terribly of blood. Instead of fading into the surroundings, the bloody breaths floated up into the sky and formed a thick, bloody cloud.

Deep within the bloody cloud was a sacrificial altar, and seated on top of the sacrificial altar was a man. He was chanting some sort of spell and causing the surrounding blood cloud to stir and rotate like a giant whirlpool; a bloody maw.

At the center of the bloody maw stood an ancient, mysterious stone door. It was slowly swinging open.

However, the man suddenly stopped chanting and rose to his feet when the stone door was about half-way open.

“Thousand Change? What’s wrong? Why did you stop?”

Five figures suddenly appeared around the altar. They all wore alarmed looks on their faces.

“What am I doing?”

A smile slowly spread across Thousand Change’s face. “Can’t you guess?”

“Are you... betraying the Boss?”

The five figures could not seem to believe it. Then, they exploded, “How dare you!”

“I’m not just going to betray him, I’m going to kill him.”

Thousand Change’s smile grew even wider as he said, “It’s not just him. The rest of you are going to die as well.”

As soon as Thousand Change finished, he stomped the ground and broke the sacrificial altar into pieces.

When the altar shattered, the half-open stone door abruptly slammed shut. A reluctant roar came from the bloody maw, and it slowly faded into nothing together with the bloody cloud.

“Kill him!”

The five figures looked like they were about to burst a blood vessel. They immediately charged toward Thousand Change.

“Hahaha... eat fist!”

However, a mad laugh suddenly erupted from their flank, and a demon god threw a devastating punch at them, pushing them away from Thousand Change.

Before they could even catch their breaths, a qin melody entered their ears and robbed them of their six senses completely.

The Qin Princess?!

The same thought flashed through all five figures’ minds. It was also their final thought.

Five wisps of sword qi gently twirled around their necks while their senses were robbed. Five heads flew into the sky, and that was that.

“Useless. Can’t even put on a goddamn fight.”

Fist Demon grunted unhappily before throwing another punch, shattering the five figures’ headless bodies into bits.

“Come now. We still have work to do.”

Thousand Change shot Fist Demon a glance and warned, “Remember, do not harm the townspeople. Young master doesn’t like it.”

“Relax. My fists will only shatter those who need to be shattered!”

A horrible grin spread across Fist Demon’s face as he threw a third punch. A distant hill shattered, and every man and woman guarding the hill was turned into meat paste.

Thousand Change, Qin Princess, and Unparalleled Sword exchanged a glance with each other. Then, they attacked the Westwind Inn killers who still had no idea what was happening. Bloodcurdling screams broke everywhere, and blood fell from the sky like a rain.

While Thousand Change, Qin Princess, Unparalleled Sword and more were slaughtering prey at Home Viewing Town, the Boss of Westwind Inn felt tears creeping up to his eyes.

The reason was simple. The Xian Gate he counted on to make his escape had disappeared.

For whatever reason, the stone door had suddenly slammed shut halfway. Then, it gradually disappeared into nothing.

The Xian Gate was gone, but he was still here. It was quite the awkward situation to say the least. Astonishment and disbelief riddled his face.

“Do you believe me now, senior?” asked Ye Qing while basking in the Boss’ expression and smiling from ear to ear.

“It’s Thousand Change! He betrayed me!”

The Boss’ expression was positively stormy as he glared at Ye Qing with a violent ocean of killing intent, “How did you do it? How did you convince him to betray me?”

“Does it matter at this point?”

Ye Qing waved. “Just rest in peace already, senior!”

“Big sis, senior Tao, if you please!”

This was as far as he dared to taunt the Boss. it wasn’t that he didn’t want to gloat at the guy. After all, it was no fun kicking an enemy down but

not

gloating at them.

The Boss was a Sage too. He might never get another chance like this.

That said, it was precisely because the Boss was a Sage that he didn’t dare to drop his guard. Who knew what other trump cards he was still hiding in his sleeves? What if he got himself killed because he got overconfident?

No, the sooner the Boss was dead, the better it was for everyone.

As expected, Ye Qing’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, and his consciousness plummeted into darkness like it was caught in a swamp of chaos and darkness. He was unable to escape initially.

“You know a lot of petty tricks.”

It wasn’t until a sweet, melodious voice melted away the chaos and darkness that Ye Qing regained his consciousness.

When he looked, he realized that Murong Xianxian was standing next to him. She was placing a hand on his shoulder as well.

“However, a dog will never appear on a feast table, just as petty tricks will never be enough to save your life.”

Murong Xianxian lifted the hand she put on Ye Qing’s shoulder half an inch before dropping it again.

Pop!

Ye Qing felt nothing, but Westwind Inn’s Boss let out a muffled grunt like he just suffered a terrible blow. At the same time, blood poured profusely from his eyes, nose, ears and mouth.

When his blood dripped off his cheeks, it suddenly transformed into six strange animals that looked like cows or tigers, but were really neither.

The unusual animals were wreathed in blood and fire. They were standing amidst a forest of corpses and skeletons. When they roared, space warped, mountains burned, and rivers boiled.

“Allow me.”

Tao Youran took a step forward and threw his fishing rod forward. As if he was stirring a pool of water, the sky of blood and flame trapped the six unusual animals and prevented them from moving instead.

“A fishing rod ripples the pond, and fish goes into my fishing basket.”

His fishing hook abruptly split into six and sank into the six animals’ mouths. Then, he pulled them into the air like fishes.

In fact, the six animals shrank rapidly when they flew toward him. They had transformed into three fishes and three prawns when they were right in front of Tao Youran.

“In you go!”

Tao Youran gave his fishing rod a shake, and his catch fell into the fishing basket.

“You should come too!”

Tao Youran waved his sleeve and tossed his fishing basket into the air. As the fishing basket rotated and spilled rainbow-colored light anywhere, Westwind Inn’s Boss flew toward it uncontrollably.
