C11 Family Extermination Tragedy

On the morning of the second day, Shi Soong jumped out of bed. He felt refreshed. After a night of recuperating using mental cultivation techniques, most of his injuries had recovered and he was almost unharmed.

"I never thought that the Xingyun Mental Skill would have such a miraculous effect!" Shi Soong said in surprise.

The Xingyun Mental Skill was the name of the Fragmentary Book of Arts that Shi Soong had obtained by luck, because he did not know the actual name of the technique, and after practicing it for a while, other than the powerful striking technique of the Strong Wind Slash, even the body had become lighter. As he walked quickly, like flowing clouds and flowing water, he became light and smooth, and excitedly named the Fragmentary Book of Arts as the Xingyun Mental Skill, while the swift strength of his feet also became known as the Cloud-stepping Step.

His injuries had recovered so quickly. Although Shi Soong was confident in his mental cultivation method, he was still surprised by the miraculous effect that he could achieve.

After a night of practice, other than recovering from his injuries, Shi Soong felt that he had gone all out to temper his body that night on the mountain. His bodily functions were stimulated once again, and under this recovery, his cultivation improved again, as if he was on the verge of breaking through the peak.

It was a very strange feeling, as if Shi Soong was not sitting on the bed at that time, but was floating in the air. It was also as if his own spiritual will was swaying with the wind, extremely comfortable.

Shi Soong was lucky enough to find this Xingyun Mental Skill. It was only an incomplete manual, and it seemed to only be a third of the complete set. The rest had already been torn away and disappeared without a trace.

No one knew the name of the technique, nor could ordinary people cultivate it. Only Shi Soong, who had the "Thousand Year Difficult Vein" [1], could cultivate it, even if he did not cultivate the other arts, it just so happened that he could.

However, after three years of cultivation, he had never found anything extraordinary about this technique. His cultivation had also improved slowly, and only after one or two months did he show any signs of increasing in speed.

"Xingyun Mental Skill, Cloud-stepping Step..." Shi Soong calculated happily in his heart. He didn't know what surprises would await him in the future.

The sound of thunder could be heard outside. In just a short moment, heavy rain began to fall.

Shi Soong washed his face and rinsed his mouth before walking out of the room. He went to the door and took a breath of air. The moment he stepped out of the room, he saw Mu Touwu rushing over in a hurry …

Upon seeing Shi Soong's condition, Mu Touwu knew that his injuries were almost healed. He was amazed.

Wu Tie and Mu Touwu were speechless. They smiled and said, "Chief Constable Mu, what's the matter this early?"

Mu Touwu came back to his senses and hurriedly walked forward saying, "Your department replied to the message early in the morning!" Saying that, Mu Touwu's face froze. He paused for a moment before continuing, "Your department also doesn't have any news about Hero Xie. It seems like Hero Xie …" There might really be an accident! "

Seeing the worry on Liu Tie's face, Mu Touwu said: "You don't have to worry, Skylark Sect has already sent out the Cyan Phoenix for this matter. In the process of searching for Hero Xie, our City Guards Camp and Wu Steel Camp will definitely cooperate, there should be news soon!"

When he said the name Green Wood Phoenix Token, Mu Touwu's tone tightened as if he valued this name very much.

Shi Soong nodded his head. For Martial Uncle Xie's matter, the Skylark Sect had specially sent out the Cyan Phoenix, it seemed like the Eleventh Prince still valued this matter quite a bit. With the arrival of the Cyan Phoenix, this could be considered good news for Martial Uncle Xie, whose whereabouts were still unknown.

However, the Cyan Phoenix that rarely showed itself had also participated in this matter. The complexity and severity of this matter seemed to have exceeded Shi Soong's expectations.

While Shi Soong was deep in thought, Mu Touwu continued, "According to the meaning of your headquarters, the original mission needs you to continue."

When Shi Soong heard that, he immediately said, "Alright, that's exactly what I want!"

Xie Yun was missing. Since the Main Department already had someone in charge of his search, Shi Soong had planned to carry out the mission that was supposed to be completed with Martial Uncle. Thus, it could be said that he had done his duty to Martial Uncle.

Since this was also the plan from the main guild, it was definitely going to be done by Shi Soong.

"Let's go and take a look at the scene!" Shi Soong fixed his clothing and immediately urged Mu Touwu to set off.

"This …" However, Mu Touwu had a face of hesitation.

"Why?" Shi Soong asked curiously.

"I didn't say that before. This, we are going to the place of inspection … It is precisely the Hee Mansion which caught fire the previous night! " Mu Touwu stuttered as he spoke.

That night, Mu Touwu was led away by two men who pretended to be Skylark Sect. Then, the Hee Mansion started up in a mysterious manner, Mu Touwu naturally understood that the fire in the Hee Mansion was related to it.

Mu Touwu did not mention that the Hee Mansion that was set on fire was where Shi Soong's group was going on their mission because Xie Yun was the one who was in charge of it, so he wanted to wait until Xie Yun arrived and talk to him.

However, now that Xie Yun was missing and Shi Soong was identified by the headquarters as the person to carry out the mission, he immediately told Shi Soong about it.

"Oh?" Shi Soong was surprised for a moment.

"However, the person who set the fire had already found one. It was a masked man dressed in black and he had been killed by someone. Last night, the patrol found his corpse in a remote location in the city." Mu Touwu sighed, "When it was found, he had already been dead for a long time. According to the time, it should have been not long after the fire at the Hee Mansion that night!"

"Are you sure he's the one who set the fire?" Shi Soong couldn't help but to ask.

"Un, it's basically certain!" Mu Touwu replied, "After the fire started at night, the two guards entered the manor and saw for themselves that the two Wu steelers had set fire to many places before jumping over the wall and leaving. However, the guards were unable to catch up!"

"From the description of the two guards, the appearance of the dead Black-clothed Man and the arson on him, we can confirm that this is one of the two Masked Man!"

"But, the other arsonist is still missing," Mu Touwu was puzzled, "There are traces of a fight at the scene, according to the investigation, the other person is at least injured! It's just that I don't know if it's because I'm harming myself or because someone else is doing it! "

Listening to Mu Touwu's narration, Shi Soong couldn't help but feel puzzled.

He and Xie Yun's Yangma Ancient Road were attacked on the way. Mu Touwu was taken away by the impostor, and the mission location of the Hee Mansion was set on fire. The arsonist also had internal strife, or was attacked by someone else.

Shi Soong immediately felt the complexity of the problem and thought about how the sect actually sent out the Cyan Phoenix. Shi Soong was even more sure that the current situation was very complicated and there seemed to be a very deep secret behind it.

Shi Soong, who was walking down the mountain for the first time, did not know what exactly was going on.

Shi Soong pondered for a moment and said: "It's alright. Let's go check it out." In any case, it's better to look at it than not to. You can get more information.

Mu Touwu did not expect Shi Soong to be so straightforward, so he readily agreed, and led the way, the two of them bringing along their rain gear as they rushed towards Hee Mansion.

Shi Soong himself actually didn't know much about missions, he just followed Xie Yun to carry out missions, and focused on understanding the process and learning from it. Xie Yun also didn't tell him the details, so Shi Soong was unable to fully understand the tasks in front of him due to this sudden change.

Along the way, Mu Touwu continued to explain and explain, and only then did Shi Soong get a general idea of the situation.

Because of the long history of the city, it had accumulated many important powers, powers, and families that had a significant status and influence throughout the country. This made the city have great influence within the country.

The Hee Mansion that he was about to go to this time, was originally not very powerful in the first place, but he had close contacts with the few great clans of the nation, and his network was extremely wide.

"But …" "Ten days ago, all sixty-three people in the entire household, from the head of Hee Mansion Master He to the servants Maidservant, were killed within one night. No one was spared, and the situation at the scene of the annihilation was extremely miserable!"

As he spoke, Mu Touwu couldn't help but sigh.

"Another family extermination case?" Shi Soong suddenly had a thought. Before he came out of the mountain, he had heard from the surrounding people that there was a family extermination case in another city. The situation was very similar to what Mu Touwu had described.

"Could there be a connection?" Thinking of this, Shi Soong was also shocked.

If that was really the case, then the conspiracy behind the plot would be huge.

"But it might not matter. I was just thinking too much." Shi Soong thought quickly a few times, but he didn't know what to make of it.

The rain got heavier and heavier. The dark clouds covered the sky, as if they were going to press down on people's heads. The strong wind caused the rain to hit the ground and the roof of the wall.

While they were conversing, the two of them had already arrived at the entrance of a mansion. From the outside, they could see the dilapidated state of the mansion's smoke and fire, but the front door was still intact. On the horizontal signboard, two large words were written: "Hee Mansion".

The two of them did not hesitate and immediately walked forward, and when the two guards at the door saw that it was Constable Mu, they immediately let him through, and did not stop him, the two of them immediately pushed open the door and entered Hee Mansion.
