Chapter 248: Eve of Imperial City (Part 1)

Blood Rain World, Imperial City.

There was only one VIP tonight on a huge flower ship.

On the top floor of the ship, a thin man with a mustache sat cross-legged in the seat of honor. Dressed in a silky robe, he drank leisurely.

There was only a white-haired elder beside him, and the elder sat cross-legged, completely converging his aura.

“Based on the time, the people from the Black Lotus Sect will probably meet Lord Fei’s family tonight, right?” The thin man stroked his beard, and his eyes were filled with anticipation. “I’m really looking forward to seeing Lord Fei’s expression when he learns about the passing of the only two relatives he has in this world. That expression will definitely be very exciting and interesting!”

The elder remained silent.

“Master Liu, do you think I’ve gone overboard?” The thin man looked at the white-haired elder.

“The strong prey on the weak. It’s only right that the Black Lotus Sect devours Lord Fei’s relatives considering the strength of the team they dispatched,” the white-haired elder said. “There’s nothing overboard.”

The thin man laughed. “I’m really envious of your state of mind. No matter when, where, or what you encounter, you can be as calm as a mountain.”

“Your Highness, you have to cultivate your mind if you want to have extremely high achievements in martial arts,” the white-haired elder stated. “If your mind isn’t strong enough, how can you perfectly control your body?”

“I can’t.” The thin man shook his head. “I’ve trained for so many years and had you and so many famous teachers teaching me, yet I’m only third-rate.”

“Moreover, martial arts isn’t the only thing in this world; there are even more interesting things. Life is short, so I naturally have to find something more interesting to do.” The thin man’s eyes had a strange glint as he finished the wine in his cup.

He had clearly reserved a flower ship, but he had dismissed all the beauties. This was King Qi’s willfulness.

…

“Giddy up.”

In the dark night, many Blood Rain Guards were escorting their leader on horseback. The leader was a black-robed youth with a cold expression, and the invisible chill he emitted made the surrounding subordinates be on tenterhooks.

They knew very well that their lord was in a very bad mood.

“Your Excellency, Lord Wang and the others will definitely make it,” the white-haired elder said.

“Lord Wang and the others chose thoroughbreds and traveled light. They are probably 200 kilometers ahead of us now. They will definitely be able to reach Old Master Fei and the others,” another muscular man said.

The black-robed youth rode his horse and didn’t say a word, but the chill emitting from his body intensified.

If… If his father and sister died…

Many people in the capital would die at his wrath! Everyone he suspected would be executed!

Those lunatics from the Black Lotus Sect aren’t afraid of me!?The black-robed youth thought to himself,?Someone must’ve been pulling the strings by using these lunatics from the Black Lotus Sect.

Once I find out who’s behind this, I will definitely let you know the consequences of offending me!?The black-robed youth’s anger burned.

He had indeed arranged enough guards for his father and sister’s team, and he was very confident in the empire’s eastern region. It was a place within his authority, so his father and sister would be fine. However, he wasn’t confident once they left the eastern region. Therefore, he arranged for a second batch of people in Iron Bell City. He believed that such a team of guards was enough to protect the old man and young girl.

Although the upper echelons of the empire vied with each other, there were also unspoken rules: family members weren’t to be touched!

After defeating the other party, the other party’s family would decline and would naturally be in a miserable state. There was no need for them to assassinate the other party’s family members early. This method was too despicable, and it would make many people feel insecure.

It was common for all parties not to implicate families. However, there were always some people in the world who didn’t abide by the unspoken rules! Fei Qing had too many enemies, and this time, an enemy had played dirty.

******

At night, the Fei family convoy arrived at an inn in the wilderness—Fragrance River Inn.

“We’ll spend the night at the inn. We won’t stop until we reach the capital tomorrow,” Uncle Zhang said to the guards.

“Alright.” The guards dismounted and began entering the inn.

This River Fragrance Inn occupied a large area and had quite a number of people. In this day and age, anyone who could open an inn in the wilderness had some ability. But when the Fei family convoy took out a Blood Rain Guard Black Blood Token, the inn immediately cooperated and even helped coordinate. They made the other guests give up their rooms to ensure that the Fei family team obtained the guest rooms they wanted.

They got many neighboring guest rooms that surrounded Old Master Fei and Miss Fei for their protection.

Xu Jingming shared a guest room with the other two guards, and being one of the few first-rate experts in the convoy, he slept on the bed. The other two Blood Rain Guards were second-rate experts who made a simple bed on the ground.

“It’ll be easier when we reach the capital.”

“Let’s make do tonight.”

Xu Jingming and the two Blood Rain Guards ate a simple meal, washed up, and went to bed early.

The long journey was indeed tiring. Xu Jingming also chose to autoplay and had his consciousness leave Blood Rain World.

In the blink of an eye, it was late at night, and the night winds were chilly.

Sha! Sha! Sha!

A group of people on horseback silently appeared and cast their gaze at the inn in front of them.

“Dharmaraja.” A spy kneeled to the side and reported respectfully, “It’s confirmed that the Fei family’s convoy has checked into the Fragrance River Inn in front. Other than the Fei family’s convoy, there are about 30 other guests at the inn, and there are more than ten workers at the inn itself.”

“Fragrance River Inn? This inn is owned by the Fragrant River Gang?” the black-haired man asked curiously.

“Yes, it’s an inn built by the Fragrant River Gang,” the spy replied respectfully.

“The Fragrant River Gang has worked with our Black Lotus Sect previously.” The black-haired man shook his head. “It’s just that we need to capture the Fei family’s father and daughter today. There’s nothing we can do about it! I believe Fragrant River’s boss will understand us. Set fire to the inn and capture the Fei family’s father and daughter.”

Attacking the inn would result in greater losses. Although it was said that the Black Lotus Sect consisted of lunatics, lunatics with brains were the ones that were truly terrifying.

The Black Lotus Sect clearly wanted to capture the Fei family’s father and daughter while minimizing losses.

“Yes.” Everyone took the order.

The Black Lotus Sect disciples surrounded the area very skillfully and carefully concealed themselves. Then, they lit their fire arrows.

The arrowheads of the fire arrows were soaked in flammable liquid, and after they were lit, they immediately released their arrows upon receiving the order.

Many fire arrows rose into the air.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Some of them struck the wooden planks, some struck the haystacks outside the inn, and some shot into the stables, kitchen, and other places behind the inn.

Many flammable objects in the inn, such as grass, wood, cotton, and so on, quickly ignited. The inn’s main building was mostly made of wood, so once the fire spread, it naturally swept through the entire inn.

The Dharmaraja’s eyes reflected the huge flames in the night, but they were as calm as a cold pond. He ordered, “Kill anyone who leaves. Leave none alive except the Fei family’s father and daughter!”

…

After Xu Jingming turned on autoplay—

He virtualized a planet scene in his personal space’s martial arts arena.

Xu Jingming was the only lifeform on this planet. At this moment, he sat cross-legged on the mountaintop and executed the mental tempering technique, naturally feeling the blood in his body flow and the minute changes in his metabolism.

His improvement in the five spearmanship volumes in the first treatise of Beam Transformation was quite smooth, but he couldn’t relax at all when it came to mental cultivation. Xu Jingming had read the manuals and knew very well… The mind decided how far he could go on the evolutionary path.

Buzz.?

Suddenly, a notification came from Blood Rain World.

Xu Jingming abruptly opened his eyes and left the mental tempering state.

What’s going on? Did something happen??Xu Jingming had a nagging feeling that something was amiss.

When the body in Blood Rain World slept, it was in autoplay mode. Once he woke up, he would immediately receive a notification, allowing him to enter Blood Rain World as soon as possible. According to Xu Jingming’s estimate, it should be about five hours before he got up to continue the journey.

Something must’ve happened for him to wake up so early.

Whoosh.

Xu Jingming didn’t hesitate and immediately entered Blood Rain World with a thought.

The moment he entered, Xu Jingming found himself standing in the corridor of the inn’s second floor.
