Chapter 354 - Peng Clan's Trouble
Chapter 354 – Peng Clan’s Trouble
Another week passed by after Yun Lintian returned to Moonlight Peak. He began to resume his leisure life. He occasionally went to Tie Shan's class or visited the Heavenly Cloud restaurant to check on the Cloud Shadow team's progress.
Since the last time Yun Lintian rescued the children from the Peng clan, the assassinations carried out by the Cloud Shadow team occurred everywhere throughout the divine city. All the victims were undoubtedly the Peng clan's customers and those who committed unforgivable crimes on the captive children.
Even though these people had powerful guards around them, they would still end up dead without them knowing. They were either died by a strange and untraceable poison or a powerful yet so secretive formation that popped up out of nowhere, completely catching them off-guard.
This incident soon had spread to every corner of the divine city. Everyone could later connect the dots and figure out the relationship between the deaths and the explosion incident weeks ago. And those related to the Peng clan's underground business were completely frightened. Many of them even chose to escape from the divine city directly.
Of course, the Cloud Shadow team naturally did not let any of them go. They were later run into the traps that Yun Meilan and Yun Lingwei had personally arranged outside the city and left this world forever.
In the Peng clan's assembly hall, Peng Huang looked at the clamor between the clan elders with a gloomy expression.
The current situation wasn't in favor of his clan at all. Several long-time business partners had withdrawn decisively from the field and left the Peng clan cold. Even though losing these incomes wouldn't affect his clan's foundation, the clan's prestige was inevitably reduced a lot.
Peng Huang slammed his palm on the armrest, producing a loud clap as he bellowed. "Enough! This is not the time to quarrel. If you have the energy to come up with these useless arguments, why can't you think of any solution?"
The clan elders immediately went silent, did not dare to utter a sound. Peng Huang's prestige in the clan was extremely high. Even if he made a mistake, the clan elders didn't dare to raise any dissatisfaction with him. They confronted each other earlier because they mainly wanted to escape from the responsibility. They simply didn't want to become a scapegoat on this matter.
Peng Huang's gaze swept over everybody in the hall and said. "Now, let's talk about it. Any clue?"
An old man with a wooden crane in his hand, sitting nearby Peng Huang, raised his doubt. "Patriarch, I discovered all the deaths had strength below the Saint Profound Realm. Meanwhile, those in the Saint Profound Realm and above are safe and sound until now. I think the enemy isn't as strong as we think."
Another middle-aged man, Second Elder, who sat opposite the old man, added. "I agree with Great Elder. The enemy is obviously relying on formation and poison. Not a single case that they confront head-on. As long as we tell them to pay attention to the situation around them more, I believe the enemy won't be able to kill anyone further."
Peng Huang slowly nodded his head. He had also noticed this point, but the problem lied in the enemy's bizarre movement. They could erase their trace, disappearing from the scene like a ghost. Even the Monarch he sent to monitor could not capture them. He couldn't think of any person with such a traceless movement technique.
"Wait a minute. Traceless movement technique…." Peng Huang mumbled to himself.
Peng Zheng, who sat on the right side of Peng Huang, clearly heard his father's mumble. He immediately said. "There's one such a person who can move without a trace."
His words instantly attracted everyone's attention. Peng Zheng said slowly. "Yun Lintian."
The clan elders glanced at each other with some doubts in their eyes. Although they had heard about this youth before, they hadn't personally witnessed his strength. What was more, if they remembered correctly, this youth had power at the peak of Origin Profound Realm. It was difficult to believe he could kill all of these people at ease by himself.
Peng Huang slapped the armrest and said. "That's right. It's him!"
Great Elder stroked his beard and expressed his thoughts. "This young man possesses an unbelievable battle prowess. He could contend with the peak of the Saint Profound practitioner while he was at the Origin Profound Realm. Looking at the entire Azure World, I don't think there's another person like him. It is nothing wrong with suspecting him."
He paused for a moment and said further. "However, the assassinations had occurred in various locations almost at the same time. I'm afraid, no matter how powerful he is, he couldn't possibly launch these operations by himself."
The other clan elders nodded their heads in agreement. All of them were genuine monarchs. They didn't think they could achieve what Yun Lintian did. Unless the targets had gathered together. Otherwise, it was impossible.
Peng Huang's brows knitted together. What Great Elder said seemed to make sense. Yun Lintian was a single person, after all. He couldn't possibly kill the targets at the same time. Not to mention each one of them had either been poisoned or died by the killing formation. Even if Yun Lintian prepared all of this beforehand, it was still challenging to achieve.
He turned to look at his son, waiting for his opinion.
Peng Zheng had thought about this too, but his intuition told him Yun Lintian was behind this. He leaned back with a thoughtful expression and said. "What if he wasn't alone as we thought?"
"We had clearly investigated the few people around him, but none of them seemed to have the same ability as his. Though that fat girl is a talented formation master, I don't think she could set up any saint-level formation in a short time. As for another girl with a black veil, she is certainly mysterious, but she's obviously weak. Last time, our spy had secretly invaded her place, and she didn't even notice about it." The Second Elder quickly said.
Peng Zheng's eyes narrowed and uttered. "What if all of this is just a facade?… Think about it.. Yun Lintian himself is insanely powerful. Do all you really think his people are weak?"
