Wandering Gods of Day and Night-Chapter 1189 - 454: The Calamity of Wuwen (Part 2)
"Our Dun Jia Mountain is fine, we don’t need your rescue."
The Hulu Taoist made a move to board the carriage, but the Butcher shouted, "You’re heading to Mingjiang Prefecture to capture Zhou Xuan, aren’t you? I advise you best not go."
"And what if we do?"
"Tonight, Mingjiang Prefecture is not a mansion, but a giant meat grinder. Anyone who tries to get involved will be crushed to bits."
The Butcher said, "There’s a saying, a wise man does not stand beneath a dangerous wall. Your Dun Jia Mountain encountered the ’Blood Spring Absorbing Spirit.’ The good mountain gate’s life span is at its end. This matter isn’t necessarily a dead end,
but if you set foot in Mingjiang Prefecture, that’s truly ’entering hell without a door.’
"Whether we live or die has nothing to do with your Wuwen Mountain, mind your own business."
The Hulu Taoist really boarded the carriage this time, and the convoy resumed its journey. But this time, the young Butcher did not follow, he murmured, "I’m afraid that from today onwards, there will be no more Dun Jia Mountain."
Then he turned around, became excited, and said with a smile, "However, from today onwards, our Wuwen Mountain will prosper."
After speaking, he turned around, heading towards the direction of the Capital Mansion...
...
Inside the convoy’s carriage, the Hulu Taoist’s face was clouded with indecision.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
Last night, while he was in Mingjiang Prefecture using the Nine Palace Talisman to observe Zhou Xuan, Ancestor Master Xuan Gui manifested, advising him not to provoke Zhou Xuan.
This was already a thorn in his heart,
but for the sake of his future prospects, the Hulu Taoist, even with a thorn, had to gather his forces to make a trip to Mingjiang Prefecture to capture Zhou Xuan.
Originally, he was almost about to forget about the manifestation of the Ancestor Master, but unexpectedly, the Butcher’s words came along.
The Butcher’s message was clear: he did not wish for him to go to Mingjiang Prefecture to deal with Zhou Xuan, or else great calamity would ensue.
"One advisor is Ancestor Master, another is Butcher. Has Zhou Xuan grown three heads and six arms to have so many people concerned for him?"
The more he thought about it, the more unsettled he became, so simply, the Hulu Taoist sent the little child serving him to find Zhao Youting to come inside the carriage for a talk.
At that time, Zhao Youting was inside the carriage, chatting with Zhao Longhu. The two had set up a small table, placing wine and dried fruits on it, having a little drink together.
"Second brother, I thought that Butcher was so formidable, but when he saw our Grandmaster Gourd, didn’t he also slink away with his tail between his legs?"
Zhao Youting was somewhat smug,
Zhao Longhu was even more arrogant, saying, "That damn Butcher, if he was really that powerful, how could the Wuwen Calamity have happened back then?"
"How did the last eighteen Wuwen Blade Masters end up? Each one’s head was chopped off and used as wine flasks."
Zhao Youting had heard of the "Wuwen Calamity" back in the day. At that time, the "Earth Child" predicted a person of great calamity would emerge in Wuwen Mountain,
then a bounty was issued, and Mr. Ye’s people from the Tangkou swarmed out to arrest people in Wuwen Mountain,
Wuwen Mountain refused, and Mr. Ye’s people slaughtered the last eighteen Blade Masters of Wuwen Mountain.
Such things happened every year in the nine prefectures of Jing Country.
After happening so many times, no one cared anymore. Mr. Ye’s and the Earth Child’s ways were just that domineering. After being domineering for so long, people in each state got used to it.
However, Zhao Youting himself was a Star Official of "Qintianjian." He inadvertently came across the records of the "Wuwen Calamity" and found there were many suspicious points,
The biggest suspicion being — Mr. Ye’s Tangkou was not a match for Wuwen Mountain.
Wuwen Mountain was the strongest combat Tangkou in Jing Country, and among those eighteen swordmen, there were Wuwen Blade Masters with Nine Incense.
Wuwen Blade Masters with Nine Incense, with just a single blade in hand, could absolutely not be taken down by Mr. Ye’s Master "Earth Child,"
Yet how was that calamity so clean and swift, slaughtering all eighteen Swordmen and not leaving a single survivor?
"Just with Mr. Ye, surely it couldn’t be done."
Zhao Longhu smiled and toasted, taking a slight sip, then said, "Junior brother, let me tell you honestly, among Mr. Ye’s group that went for the arrest back then, there was our Tunnel Armor Sect’s Supreme Patriarch,
"The Earth Child knew Wuwen Mountain was tough to handle and was afraid it might not be won, so arrangements were made for our Patriarch to lay low among them in advance."
"The Patriarch back then could slay the eighteen Blade Masters of Wuwen Mountain, and now, the Patriarch has been absorbing the spiritual energy of the mountain daily, and his cultivation has improved significantly,
though the Butcher is formidable, he is merely a house dog with a lost lineage. His cultivation is deteriorating, how could he possibly contend with our Patriarch?"
Zhao Longhu spoke with pride,
Yet Zhao Youting detected something.
"That Butcher was so confrontational with our Dun Jia Mountain when he was blocking the carriage, his attitude was extremely arrogant,
but after meeting our Grandmaster, he seemed to become a different person, though his words were sharp, overall, he remained respectful and amicable."
"Hmm... something’s not right... the Butcher became a different person not after seeing the Grandmaster, but after hearing Senior Brother Longhu mention that the old ancestor of the Tunnel Armor Sect was among the convoy."
Thinking of this, Zhao Youting’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, and the words ’Stealing Home’ kept circling his mind.
"With the Six Great Supreme Elders all set out, Dun Jia Mountain is emptied. If the Butcher heads to Dun Jia Mountain at this critical moment, who can stop him in the mountain?"
The more Zhao Youting thought, the more uneasy he felt, and right at this moment, he heard a child’s soft call.
