Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 116 - 91: Blood Saber Ancestor

As soon as the words fell, all the Inner Sect disciples became alert.

Their knowledge was limited, and connecting the dots led them only to conclusions like "the Dark Workshop set up an empty auction to lure them away," "the Inner City gates were tightly shut during the day, and the city smelled of blood."

This group comprised the young Eighth Grade powerhouses of the Blood Saber Sect, with many striving for Perfection and advancing to the Seventh Grade. Naturally, their thoughts were not simple.

Two "beads" linked, they immediately guessed the term "lure the tiger away from the mountain."

But what confused them was, they were not the tigers...

Soon enough, their confusion was resolved.

From afar came the solemn sound of horses’ hooves once more.

The sound of hooves drew closer.

The crowd turned around to see a bearded man in a blood-stained white robe leading an old man covered in blood, along with a fat and a thin man, approaching from afar.

The man’s face was stern, with a hidden madness in his eyes. Who else could it be but Tie Sha?

The Inner Sect disciples knew well about the four generals of varying sizes and shapes who were often by Sect Leader Tie’s side. These generals were trusted confidants, all at the Seventh Grade, and now only two remained. What kind of ordeal had they gone through?

The clever Inner Sect disciples realized...

They were not the tigers, but the bait.

They were the bait to catch big fish like Sect Leader Tie.

At this moment, Tie Sha skimmed his eyes over the crowd, finally landing on an honest-looking man, and said, "Zhao Yi, you speak."

Zhao Yi stepped forward and recounted matters like "Dark Workshop buying meat, the Dark Workshop auction claiming it was large-scale cooperation across counties, requiring distant travel, and discovering upon arrival that the auction was empty, waiting for a while before returning."

After speaking, Zhao Yi promptly dismounted and knelt, saying, "Disciple was foolish."

The others also dismounted in succession, all saying, "Disciple was foolish."

Tie Sha’s face was iron-blue, waving his hand, saying, "Rise, it’s not your fault.

The social world is dangerous, especially from now on.

You are all the future pillars of the Blood Saber Sect. A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit will do."

Only then did the disciples slowly get up.

Tie Sha mounted his horse, followed by the elderly man with hair like a crane.

The horse’s hooves trotted, stirring up the mud in the wetlands.

He came to the city gate, looking up at the iron gate, smelling the blood within, listening to the deathly silence inside, and frowned.

He had already simulated the situation.

Lure him away, then besiege the city. But what is the current state within the city?

Have the invaders won?

Or have our own people triumphed?

But regardless of the result, there should be someone on the city walls.

Tie Sha glanced at the fat man behind him.

The fat man, with a robust voice, shouted, "Is anyone there? Come out and speak!!"

The seven words roared like a lion, reverberating in everyone’s ears.

Yet behind the city gate, there was still silence.

Deafening silence...

Tie Sha rode back, glancing at the Inner Sect disciples, and said plainly, "Two of you, go and push open the gate."

Many disciples lowered their heads. Even fools knew that opening the gate now might itself be an ambush.

Fang Chengbao suddenly stepped forward and said, "Disciple is willing to go."

Tie Sha said, "Very well, but you cannot go."

Fang Chengbao: ???

Tie Sha looked at him and said, "Step back behind me."

Then continued, "Cao Li, Chen Shi, you go and open the gate."

These two were among the weakest in both strength and potential among the Inner Sect disciples. They understood the situation, and upon hearing the order, they were angry and terrified, but could only advance reluctantly, standing to the left and right of the city gate, their energy rising, shouting and pushing the gate.

But the gate didn’t budge, obviously barred from inside.

Tie Sha peered at them again and said, "Climb to the top of the city wall."

Cao Li and Chen Shi remained silent. After pausing slightly, they began to climb the city wall.

If the city wall was guarded, it would be hard to climb.

But since no one was at the top, Eighth Grade Martial Artists could quickly ascend using the brick seams.

A few breaths later, they both swiftly reached the top of the wall.

Looking down, both were stunned, as if they had fallen into an ice cave, completely frozen.

Tie Sha squinted his eyes and asked, "What happened?"

Cao Li turned, horrified, and said, "Dead... all dead..."

Tie Sha frowned, said lightly, "Open the gate."

...

...

At Silver Creek Square, in a hidden tower. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

A group of Wild Honored Guests was gathered together.

Blood Scissors, being a Seventh Grade, was naturally at the center of attention.

Soon, a figure quickly leaped over the threshold and said, "Tie Sha is back!"

Blood Scissors smirked, raised his head, and asked, "Did the fight start?"

"No it didn’t."

"No?" Blood Scissors was momentarily stunned.

"Tie Sha entered the city gate, but there was no movement inside."

Blood Scissors’ eyes suddenly widened, and he said, "Something’s not right.

By the way, has General Qing Xiang been informed?"

"Tie Dan went earlier, the message should have been delivered.

General Qing Xiang will mobilize troops, attack the county tonight, and then we’ll cooperate with the Sun Family’s Tributor to completely take over Shanbao County."

Blood Scissors thought for a moment and said, "No, I must see what’s happening! Just say we heard of the Sun Family’s siege and came to aid."

With that, he hurriedly stood up, called for three Eighth Grades, instructed others to wait for news, and then quickly headed toward the Inner City.

...

...

When Blood Scissors arrived at the Inner City, the city gate was wide open, and the glaring corpses inside were in full view, with the overwhelming stench of blood hitting hard.

Blood Scissors’ fierce eyes stared intently at the unfolding scene, the faces drawing closer...

Suddenly, he spotted a face, the face of Sun Family’s Patriarch, Sun Jiangang.

That face was attached to a half-severed, bloody body, the sword in hand split in two from the tip down...
