C12 Rain Chase

Upon entering, one could immediately see that the scale of the Hee Mansion was not small. In a very wide courtyard, the various buildings were arranged in an orderly manner.

Now, these rooms and courtyards that were originally well-built had been destroyed by a huge fire. There were traces left of smoke and smoke everywhere. The charred remnants of the broken wood pointed into the sky with a sorrowful look.

The entire mansion had been slaughtered in one night, not a single woman or child had escaped. The more Shi Soong looked at it, the more shocked he became. What kind of resentment could cause such a crazy action and cause such a bloody tragedy?

The dense curtain of rain was like a huge basin of water that was splashing towards the ground. Under the huge impact of the heavy rain, fragile pieces of wood and tiles were being broken from time to time, falling to the ground with cracking sounds.

Shi Soong and Mu Touwu walked in and out of the rooms with a solemn expression. From time to time, bloodstains could be seen in the room and one could imagine how terrible the scene was. It was the first time Shi Soong saw such a miserable state.

The victim's corpse was already taken away, but Mu Touwu was able to tell Shi Soong the details of the circumstances of each victim, their wounds, and so on.

"The annihilation of the Yanhui City has shocked the entire country. I came here with Martial Uncle Xie to assist in the investigation of this case. Now that Martial Uncle Xie's whereabouts are unknown, I must take responsibility for this!" Shocked by the annihilation of his clan, Shi Soong secretly made up his mind.

Along the way, he had already checked every single room in the Hee Mansion once. Adding Mu Touwu's supplementary report and description, Shi Soong had a rough understanding of the overall situation.

Hee Mansion, should be a time in the middle of the night, most of them were suddenly massacred in their dreams.

Most of the people in the city were asleep by midnight. It could reduce the chance of being found, but such a large-scale operation could not attract too much attention or attention. These assassins must be very powerful and organized.

All the wounds of the dead were very simple, most of them were only one wound. It was obvious that they had been killed in one strike. The killers had all taken the fatal points in one move without missing a single wound.

Even though the guards of the mansion all had some skill, they were still killed by a single strike and died on the spot.

According to Mu Touwu's description, most of the dead were killed by sharp weapons. From the wound, there were short blade weapons that cut directly through the throat, blade weapons that chopped vigorously, and also some hidden weapons. These people were outside the room at that time, and the killer seemed to have killed them remotely to avoid causing any noise or attention.

These concealed weapons included poisonous crossbows, and steel balls with ferocious strength.

"That assassin's methods are extremely old. He removed all the fatal poison arrows from the dead body without leaving anything behind. We only know the details after inspecting the wounds and the cause of death."

Mu Touwu was deep in thought again. "That fatal steel ball, it might have been difficult to find after landing on the ground due to the dark night. Look at that steel ball, there are some strange strokes on it!"

Thinking back to the strange strokes on the steel balls, Mu Touwu had a face of doubt. Obviously, he still couldn't get a clue, so he made an agreement with Shi Soong to check them together after going back.

Listening to Mu Touwu's description, Wu Tie couldn't help but have a more serious expression. The kind of small steel ball that Mu Touwu described was mostly long-range attacks, usually to numb and stun people, but at this point in the Hee Mansion, it had directly hit a fatal point on the steel ball!

These few people were among the Hee Mansion s who did not have any injuries on their bodies. It was only after a long time that they managed to find out that these steel balls were the culprit that caused their deaths.

Those assassins were very skilled and ruthless. They were very powerful. They were definitely not ordinary assassins!

"No matter who it is, no matter how much I have to pay, even if I have to break into the ends of the earth, I will take you all down with me!" Shi Soong said angrily in his heart.

The wind outside grew fiercer and fiercer. The torrential rain, driven by the strong wind, washed the ground with even more force. Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the dense dark clouds from time to time.

Every place inside the Hee Mansion Academy was checked once, and the torrential rain did not stop. Shi Soong and Mu Touwu stood in the hall and looked at the torrential rain falling outside, but did not say anything, and quieted down momentarily.

Under the cover of the heavy rain, the houses in the surroundings could not be seen clearly. The dense rain scattered on the ground.

Shi Soong was lost in thought. Suddenly, he saw a flash of gray-blue shadow at the door on the right side of the house. He looked closer, but there was nothing there.

The torrential rain was still pouring down.

"There's still someone in the Hee Mansion?" Shi Soong couldn't help but be confused.

"Ah?" "What?" Mu Touwu asked in a rough voice.

"Was there someone at the door of the house you saw earlier?" Shi Soong pointed in the direction of the house.

"Shadow?" Mu Touwu had a puzzled expression, apparently, he did not notice it.

"I seem to have seen someone move, but I didn't see it clearly. Is there anyone else within the Hee Mansion?" Shi Soong asked in confusion. He had just entered each room and didn't see anyone else, but he couldn't be sure if Mu Touwu had arranged someone else to be in the yard.

"There is no one else in the Hee Mansion! Let's go, we'll know once we get there! " Mu Touwu's expression suddenly became serious. Before he finished his sentence, he already walked out. Shi Soong also followed in a hurry.

The two of them walked up to the front of the house and looked at it clearly. They were surprised to see that the door was indeed a little ajar, and each of the two rooms had their doors closed!

The two of them immediately became alert. Shi Soong gathered strength in his palm and prepared to move quickly forward. Mu Touwu took out his Cloud Head Saber and rushed forward.

"Bam!"

Before he could reach the door, he heard a muffled sound coming from the room.

Shi Soong did not understand what was going on, but he heard Mu Touwu yell, "Not good, this criminal wants to escape!" As he spoke, he rushed to the front of the room and kicked the door open.

Shi Soong also rushed into the room. Looking around, he found that the room was empty, but the fresh wet footprints were very obvious. Someone must have just entered this room.

"He jumped out the window and ran away. Chase after him!" Mu Touwu said this and ran towards the window again.

Shi Soong focused and sure enough, the window had already been opened. Presumably, the muffled sound they heard outside the room was the sound that person made when he crashed through the window and flew out.

As he thought about it, his feet did not stop. Shi Soong quickly caught up and jumped out of the window with Mu Touwu.

While they were still in the air, Shi Soong's gaze swept around and saw a grey windbreaker flashing in the corner of a room in front of them before disappearing!

This time, he could see everything clearly. Shi Soong threw away his rain gear, and without caring about the rain, Pu rushed towards the corner of the wall as soon as he landed.

Mu Touwu landed slightly slower, and when he landed, he raised his head to look again, but there was no sign of a person running away. However, seeing Shi Soong hurriedly chasing after him, he immediately shouted: "Stop!"

On the other hand, Wu Tie's leg strength was better than Mu Touwu's. He channeled all the strength under his feet and angrily stepped on the Cloud-stepping Step. With a few "whoosh whoosh" sounds, he arrived at the corner of the wall and left Mu Touwu far behind.

He quickly dodged to the corner and focused his attention to look. He saw that the person in the corner of the grey windbreaker had just jumped over the wall and wanted to escape!

Shi Soong exerted more strength under his feet and sprinted over. While he was running, Shi Soong was secretly surprised: "This person's speed is so fast!"

Before Shi Soong reached the wall, he exerted strength in his legs and leaped high into the air. His toes lightly tapped on the tiles on the wall and he fell over the wall.

Mu Touwu had just arrived at the corner of the room and saw Shi Soong climbing over the wall. He didn't stop and kept rushing forward.

While running, Mu Touwu was also surprised by Shi Soong's powerful legs. He exclaimed, "How can this kid's speed be so fast!"

Shi Soong's body was strong at first, yet his heavy injuries were healed so quickly. Mu Touwu was amazed, and now, with the full strength of his feet, he managed to push Mu Touwu back so far with just a few short steps.

"As expected of a person with extraordinary Skylark Sect!" While Mu Touwu was still feeling surprised, he had already rushed to the front of the wall. He used all the strength in his legs and jumped up to the top of the wall.

Just as he jumped onto the wall, Mu Touwu was about to look around to check on Shi Soong's shadow when, under the heavy rain, the wall became slippery. Mu Touwu lost his footing, his feet slipped and his figure flashed.
