Chapter 332
332 The destroyer
When the sun set, the sunset hung in the West of Shangjing. The red clouds were like fire and were exceptionally beautiful. Xia Pingan took a carriage alone to the Guanlan Villa North of ping mountain.
The Guanlan villa was a large Manor not far from Mount ping. On the surface, it was a summer house for a wealthy man in Shangjing city. In fact, it was one of the strongholds of the dark shadow guards of the adjudicating Army in Shangjing city.
Being located in a tranquil Valley at the North foot of ping mountain, Guanlan Manor was tranquil. There were few villages and towns in the surroundings. Therefore, nobody knew that a powerful force was hiding in Guanlan Manor.
This place was less than fifteen li away from Mount Fengtai.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, Xia Pingan felt a few invisible gazes in the surrounding air fall on him. He calmly walked to the Vermillion gate of the villa and gently knocked on it twice with the knocker on the gate.
After a few seconds, the door opened a little, revealing a slightly old face. It was an old man with droopy eyelids and a weak body. He was wearing the uniform of a servant of the villa, just like an ordinary gatekeeper. He glanced at Xia Pingan, opened the door a little more, and let Xia Pingan in.
When the door was closed, Xia Pingan saw the old man wave his hand and set up two rune traps at the door. Then, without saying a word, he led Xia Pingan into the villa.
There were only a few people in the villa. Of course, this was only on the surface. The sharp blade forces of the shadow guards were all in the villa-the four shadow guards and the iron hand camp were all here.
After passing through courtyards, corridors, and gardens, the old man brought Xia Pingan to a living room and left silently.
There were four people in the living room. Granny you, master Mao Mao, the scholar, and Liu tieshou were all present.
The four of them sat on the four armchairs with their eyes closed, like four silent sculptures. They were resting to recuperate, but they were also ready to move at any time. When Xia ping ‘an entered the room, the four of them opened their eyes and looked at him.
“Greetings, four seniors!” Xia Pingan entered the room and bowed to the four of them.
The four of them didn’t act arrogantly because Xia ping ‘an was their commander and leader in name. They could look down on Xia ping’ an, but Lin Yi’s orders and the rules of the ruling Army forced them to treat them with caution and not dare to overstep them.
The armchair in the main seat of the room was empty and left for Xia ping ‘an. The four of them sat on both sides of the room.
The four of them stood up at the same time and returned Xia ping ‘an’s bow.
“Where’s senior devil blade?” Xia Pingan glanced at the room and asked the obvious-the Child of Fortune had just left before he came.
“I’m also here!” He could not see the demon Sword in the room, but his voice was in the room.
Except for necessary moments such as when he met Lin Yi, Demon Sword would always be invisible as he never showed himself in front of others. Even at this moment, his voice was still wavering in the room.
“Any news?” Liu tieshou asked in a deep voice.
“No, I’m also waiting for information!” Xia Pingan shook his head.
“How long do I have to wait?” Liu tieshou continued to ask.
I don’t know either. We can only wait. It could be a few hours or a few days. Once the news comes, we must immediately dispatch our men, ” Xia Pingan said. He then walked to the chair in the main seat and sat down calmly, ” seniors, you can take a rest. If the news comes, you only need to gather here within 20 breaths!
“Hahaha, we’re not that delicate. We’ll just take a nap here. It’ll be the same even if we close our eyes!” Master Mao Mao laughed and sat down. He took out an ashtray and started to hit it.
I’ll just embroider. A few days won’t be long. granny you took out a needle and thread and began to embroider.
The scholar was a little cold. He didn’t say anything. He just took out a book and started to read it.
Liu tieshou didn’t say anything. He sat down and closed his eyes.
They were all experts, so they naturally had the self-awareness of experts and knew a lot of operations. Before they took action, all they had to do was wait. Sitting here for three to five days wasn’t a problem.
No one left the room. Everyone was waiting.
Xia ping ‘an was also sitting with her eyes closed.
In the blink of an eye, the scene that the Child of Fortune saw appeared in Xia Pingan’s consciousness-the entire red leaf Manor had been turned over by the Child of Fortune. The Child of Fortune knew clearly where there was a secret passage in the manor, where something was hidden, how many people were there, and what each person did.
From yesterday until now, the red leaf villa’s crime had been continuing. Two more children, who had been drained of the “unaging blood essence,” were thrown into the pit of the crocodiles. Three more rich and powerful people from Shangjing entered the red leaf villa. The modified carriage came again, bringing in a few more five or six-year-old children.
Xia Pingan was also waiting for this to end tonight.
Night fell without anyone noticing, and the room was quiet.
In the beginning, the sound of master Mao Mao smoking his pipe could be heard. After he finished smoking, master Mao Mao put away his pipe and leaned back on his chair, as if he was taking a nap. The entire room was filled with the rustling sound of the scholar flipping through his book.
Granny you was engrossed in her embroidery, and time passed by slowly and silently.
When the stars and moons appeared in the sky, the crickets in Guanlan Manor started to chirp. The entire Manor was immersed in darkness and tranquility.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Xia Pingan closed his eyes. His mind was clear, and his will was as strong as steel. Just as he was counting the time and was about to open his eyes, he suddenly remembered a scene in his memory-he had hastily lifted his skirt and climbed over the wall-
What an adorable girl!
AI!
Xia ping ‘an opened her eyes at once, and a light flashed in her eyes. She stood up at once, and her entire aura changed.
The few people in the room opened their eyes at the same time and looked at Xia ping ‘an.
the news has arrived. From now on, I will personally command tonight’s operation! At this moment, Xia Pingan’s tone was no longer as polite as before. He began to give orders in a straightforward manner, ” gather the iron hand camp!
Liu tieshou threw a glance at Xia ping ‘an without saying anything. He just clapped his hands. All of a sudden, 72 people in black robes, black masks and black iron gloves appeared in the garden outside the parlor. Each of them was as silent as a mountain while black mist was surging over their bodies like Soul Reapers walking out of the darkness.
stay hidden and keep up with me, Yingluo. Xia Pingan did not explain or say anything more. He just jumped out of the room and disappeared. The moment he disappeared, a bat appeared and flew directly towards the North of the villa.
An illusion!
Granny you and the others took a look and leaped out of their rooms, disappearing in an instant.
Liu tieshou jumped out of the room. With a wave of his hand, a black mist enveloped the 72 men of the iron hand camp. Then, he entered the black mist as well. When the black mist dispersed, everyone had disappeared.
The bat flew silently in the dark, passing through the forest, the stream, the river, and several villages, all the way to the North of the villa. Finally, it flew to the foot of Fengtai mountain, detoured around the garrison army camp, and appeared in a pine forest halfway up the mountain.
The bat landed on the tree and disappeared. Xia Pingan’s figure was once again revealed.
Granny you, master Mao Mao, Yao Dao, Liu tieshou, and the people of the iron hand camp also appeared beside Xia ping ‘an.
Outside the pine forest was a winding mountain road. Following this mountain road to the top of the mountain, one would reach the red leaves Manor.
A black carriage was travelling unhurriedly on the mountain road. Just a hundred meters away, a coachman was driving the carriage in the night. The two lanterns in front of the carriage were moving along the winding mountain road, and the bells tied to the horses ‘necks were constantly making tinkling sounds on the quiet mountain road.
...
The carriage was approaching.
stop that carriage. There’s something in the compartment of the carriage. Don’t alert anyone, ” Xia Pingan ordered.
I’m good at this, let me do it. master Mao Mao stood up and took two steps forward. An emerald green fishing rod appeared in his hand. With a wave of the fishing rod, the coachman, two horses, and one carriage were caught by something and lifted off the ground. The coachman and the horses were all frozen in place, unable to make a sound.
Whoosh!
Grandmaster Mao Mao retracted his fishing rod. The carriage, the two horses, and the coachman had already been fished into the pine forest. The horses and the coachman were lying on the ground, unmoving.
tear apart the carriage. Be careful of the underlying layer of the carriage, ” Xia Pingan continued to order.
Without a word, Liu tieshou took a step forward and extended his gloved hands. With a clench of his fists, the sturdy carriage and the wheels beneath the carriage were completely dismantled, revealing three leather boxes hidden beneath the carriage. The boxes then fell to the ground.
Xia Pingan stepped forward and unbuttoned one of the suitcases. Inside the suitcase was a five or six-year-old girl who was curled up in a ball.
The little girl was unconscious, her face pale and motionless.
He opened the other suitcases and found children in them.
Granny you walked over to check on them. these children have been drugged.
...
if we hadn’t come tonight, these children would probably have been sacrificed by those beasts. They would have died a worse death than an animal Pixiu, ” Xia Pingan looked at the people around him and said softly, ” it’s these children’s good fortune to be able to meet you. I thank you on behalf of their parents!
The group of people were silent, but a shocking murderous aura surged and roared from everyone’s body.
Anyone who could hide the child here and transport him here, no matter who he was, could be killed.
Granny you stood up and wiped the corners of her eyes, sighing, ” I want to kill more people tonight. None of you should fight with me for the Kasaya.
“Turn around this Hill. In the forest ahead, there are hidden sentries and Summoners. We have to clear out the crickets.”
I’ll go! devil blade’s hoarse voice sounded.
After a short while, devil blade returned. Only one voice was heard, ” I’ve killed them all. Is there anyone else? ”
everyone, come with me. this time, Xia Pingan did not hide his figure anymore. He immediately led the group to the top of the mountain. In a short while, the red leaf villa appeared in front of everyone.
The red leaves Manor was the same as yesterday. There were two guards at the entrance, and a Red Lantern was hung at the entrance.
Xia ping ‘an stood in the forest with his men. He looked at the red leaf villa and coldly gave a bloody order.
“Everyone in this Manor, except for the children and the chief Steward, kill everyone else. Don’t let anyone go!”
As soon as Xia Pingan finished speaking, the heads of the two guards standing at the entrance of the villa flew up. Master Mao Mao waved his fishing rod and disappeared in front of Xia Pingan.
In the next second, in the bamboo woods, underground, mist and stream behind the manor, two demonic eyes flickered in the dark while blood started to ooze out.
Half of the iron hand camp’s men had already rushed out, while the other half had quickly surrounded the entire villa.
A hearty slaughter began in the villa.
While the others charged in and began their massacre, Xia Pingan did not rush in. He only took out a cloud piercing arrow and lit it.
The cloud piercing arrow let out a shrill cry and flew to the sky above Mount Fengtai. It suddenly exploded and turned into a huge flame pattern representing the adjudicator Army in the sky, which didn’t dissipate for a long time.
The weather in the capital was very good that night, and there were few clouds in the sky. When the flame pattern of the adjudicator Army burst out, almost the entire Shangjing could see it-it was a summon for the main force of the adjudicator Army in an emergency.
After releasing the piercing cloud arrow, Xia Pingan’s figure quickly rushed into the red leaf villa. With one kick, he blasted open the door of the villa.
How dare you! What do you want to do? get out! I’m Yingluo! inside the villa, there was a shirtless and fat high-ranking official in Shangjing holding a bottle that had just finished drinking the ageless blood essence. There was still a trace of blood between his lips and teeth.
Looking at Xia ping ‘an, who had rushed in, the official immediately showed his authority and scolded Xia ping’ an.
you piece of trash! Damn you! Xia Pingan’s eyes flashed with killing intent. With a ” ground prison ” spell, he imprisoned the official on the ground, making him unable to move. Then, he threw out a scorching fireball spell and set the official on fire, burning him violently.
ah! Ah! Ah! the man screamed miserably like a burning torch, but he couldn’t escape from the imprisonment of the painted ground.
After setting the piece of trash on fire, Xia Pingan quickly left the villa. A moment later, he appeared outside a secret room in the red leaf villa. Xia Pingan entered the secret room and, in the blink of an eye, took out two name lists from the secret room.
......
Xuanji, within the ninth floor of the Imperial City of Shangjing.
Beitang Zhao walked out of the Imperial study with his hands clasped behind his back. He looked up at the pattern in the northern sky, his expression calm.
At the same time, Beitang Wangchuan also walked out of the quiet room. He raised his head and looked at the pattern in the northern sky, his eyes flashing.
“What is that place?”
that seems to be the direction of Mount Fengtai. Could it be that the adjudicator Army is making a big move there tonight? ” A woman came to Beitang Wangchuan’s side and said softly.
“Fengtai mountain?” Beitang Wangchuan’s face was filled with confusion. He didn’t know why the adjudicator Army was fighting at Mt. Fengtai tonight. There seemed to be a Garrison army camp at the foot of Mt. Fengtai, but there was nothing else.
“Could it be that the judgement Army has discovered the dream demon?”
if it’s a dream demon, it wouldn’t have alarmed the entire adjudicator Army. As long as the dream demon’s whereabouts are exposed, it would be solved without a sound. It should be something else, ” he said.
“En, send someone to investigate Yingluo.”
......
The adjudicator Army and the entire Shangjing city were alarmed.

The 4,000-word chapter was presented, and the second chapter was a little late today!
