Chapter 961: I Killed Him, So What?

The first one who came out was named Lin Qi and from the Scattered Stars Island. He wasn’t from the Thousand Star City, but from one of the 36 towns.

As soon as Lin Qi came out, he found all the big shots staring at him.

He shuddered. Damn, what happened?

“Humph!”

Suddenly, he heard Xue Shenqi say, “This man is from the Scattered Stars Island. I’ll take him away. Everyone, wait for the next one!”

“Wait a minute!”

Someone said, “Old Xue, we’ll just ask him a few questions!”

Xue Shenqi looked at the man. “Senior Ye, what do you want to ask?”

The man smiled and said, “This little friend, does he have a Sea Token?”

Lin Qi shook his head nervously. “No!”

The person from the Ye Family asked again, “Little friend, don’t panic. I just want to know what the underground city was like and what happened there.”

Lin Qi immediately respectfully said, “Seniors, to be honest, it wasn’t like a city, but more like an island. There were crises everywhere on it, and all kinds of terrestrial creatures that we had never seen before were emerging endlessly, and many of them didn’t live in the water, so I hurried out after getting some opportunities.”

Then the others asked Lin Qi some other questions.

Some Lin Qi could answer, some he could not. Lin Qi just described what he saw and heard. Soon, everyone lost interest in him.

These were all big shots. They had read about land creatures from ancient books.

Although they were curious if the terrestrial creatures were the same as the ones from the ancient books recorded, they weren’t that eager to know the answer.

Lin Qi came out first because he only stayed in the underground city for 3 days, which showed that his strength was relatively weak. However, it meant that most people of similar strength to Lin Qi were about to come out.

As predicted…

Two hours later, another person came out, still from the Scattered Stars Island.

Then, five or six people came out one after another, all from the Scattered Stars Island.

On the fifth day, fifty or sixty people from the Scattered Stars Island came out. At this time, the first major sect disciple appeared, and it was a disciple from the Grand Void Academy.

However, a powerhouse from the Grand Void Academy just muttered to the others, “He didn’t get the painting. You don’t need to pay much attention to him.”

He just casually asked this disciple some questions before he let him go back to the Scattered Stars Island.

On the sixth day, 109 people came out one after another.

On the seventh day, a white light flashed out of the cave.

The strong master of the Ye Family instantly appeared in front of the white light and took Ye Baiyu’s hand. “Yu’er, did you get the painting?”

Yang Erfu shouted, “Ye Dongfei, why are you panicking? Do you think we’ll eat Ye Baiyu?”

The ancestor of the Mo Family chuckled. “Baiyu, just tell us.”

Sun Baisheng shouted, “Baiyu, I ask you, do you know how Sun Mu died?”

Ye Baiyu was surprised. “Ah! Sun Mu is dead?”

Ye Dongfei shouted at Sun Baisheng, “Hey, why are you yelling at my grandson? He didn’t kill Sun Mu! Yu’er, have you grabbed the painting?”

No one spoke this time. They were all looking at Ye Baiyu, waiting for his answer.

Ye Baiyu shook his head with a wry smile. “Second Grandfather, I’m sorry. Although I am the fastest in my generation, speed alone is not enough. In the end, I was defeated by Cao Jiaren.”

Ye Dongfei sighed. “Alas, fine, maybe you’re just not lucky enough. But what was the painting like?”

Since Ren Tianfei snatched the Sea Quelling Painting before, no one from the Thousand Star City had entered it. Most people who entered it before had never come out.

Therefore, they didn’t know what it was like in the Sea Quelling Painting.

Although a few people who entered the painting had come out, the messages they revealed were kept as top secret and could only be known to their respective families.

At this moment, Ye Dongfei wanted to let Ye Baiyu tell everything he knew. In this way, everyone could know something about the Sea Quelling Painting. Then no matter who got it, the others would know how to deal with it.

Ye Baiyu said, “There are five legendary creatures in the painting, who have the same strength as peak-level Law Enforcers…”

“Wow!”

Hearing this, many people gasped in shock. However, some people were indifferent, for example, Cao Wudi, people from the Jade Fairy Palace, and those from the Heavenly Sword Sect…

Ye Dongfei was shocked. “Legendary creatures? Are you sure?”

Ye Baiyu nodded. “Yes. This is what one of the old trees said personally. He would basically say anything when being asked. Except for the five legendary creatures, the most dangerous part in the painting is a place called the Nine Sounds mist. But when I asked what the laws of the Nine Sounds were, the old tree only said seven of them: pleasure, anger, sorrow, joy, horror, panic, and thought, representing seven kinds of emotions. I don’t know what the remaining two sounds are.”

Someone immediately asked, “Nine Sounds? Does it have something to do with the Comfort Technique of the Jiuyin Family?”

Someone nodded. “Probably. I heard that the girl of this generation from the Jiuyin Family is very talented and became a Law Enforcer at the age of 17. In the entire history of the Thousand Stars City, she can be ranked among the top ten. I am afraid this has something to do with the Jiuyin Family.”

Ye Baiyu roughly talked about the situation in the painting. He tried to enter the Nine Sounds mist, but couldn’t get in at all. Maybe it was because his luck had disappeared back then.

Ye Dongfei said, “Yu’er, even if you didn’t get the painting, it doesn’t matter.”

Hearing Ye Dongfei’s words, Ye Baiyu couldn’t help but smile bitterly. “Second Grandfather, the Sea Quelling Painting had to have been taken by someone because we were sent out automatically on the sixth day. When we entered, there were 84 people and 52 people came out. I can be sure that the painting was not taken by anyone from the big clans in the Thousand Stars City.”

“What?”

Someone was astonished. “All of them failed?”

Yang Erchu shouted, “Do you mean, all of our people have failed?”

Ye Baiyu nodded. “Because when we came out, we saw every other member of the big clans except Sun Mu.”

With that said, Ye Baiyu turned to look at Cao Wudi. “Including the Cao Family people.”

Cao Wudi suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Ye Baiyu. “What did you say?”

Ye Baiyu sighed. “Uncle Cao, although I was defeated by Cao Jiaren, they failed too. Cao Jiaren, Cao Tian, and Cao Qiu, who seemed to have become another person, all came out with me.”

Sun Baisheng asked, “Did you ask why Sun Mu wasn’t with you?”

Ye Baiyu sighed. “Senior Sun, you know, my relationship with Sun Mu is not very good.”

Cao Wudi suddenly looked at Old Bai and Old Jiang who were meditating.

Everyone else also looked at the two of them, their eyes unfriendly.

Old Jiang blew his beard and shouted, “What are you looking at? More than 80 people entered, and 52 came out. This shows that this time there weren’t many life and death battles. Do you want to blame us for all the deaths?”

Sun Baisheng gnashed his teeth and said, “Sun Mu and Han Fei had a grudge…”

Old Bai sneered. “Are you sure that Sun Mu was killed by Han Fei? Even if he was, so what? Only your Sun Family is allowed to attack us, but we’re not allowed to fight back? Sun Baisheng, come, let’s fight!”

Old Jiang sneered. “If you can’t kill the two of us, your Sun Family will be destroyed. Just wait for the Thug Academy’s endless hunting!”

Sun Baisheng’s body trembled slightly. “Bai Congye, Jiang Daqian, do you really think I dare not fight you?”

Bai Congye sneered. “I haven’t forgotten how you joined forces to fight against the Thug Academy! But you failed to eliminate us even in that way. What makes you think you can do it now?”

Old Jiang echoed, “Only your grandson is dead among the people from the big clans. Why is that?”

Sun Baisheng’s face was cold. “Let’s wait for everyone to come out. If Mu’er was really killed by Han Fei, I’ll definitely avenge him!”

Old Bai and Old Jiang sneered and didn’t seem to be afraid at all, but in fact, they were talking via voice transmission.

Old Jiang asked, Did you bring that thing? I think Sun Mu was probably killed by Han Fei. And the students of the seven major sects were not likely to get the Sea Quelling Painting. So, I guess that kid also got the painting.

Old Bai responded, Yes. As long as the seven major sects don’t interfere, we should be able to save Han Fei. Is your array map ready?

Sure. I’ve got my stuff ready. When Han Fei comes out, if they attack him, you take him away and I’ll cover your retreat.

Don’t panic. Perhaps, things have not yet reached that point. I just hope what happened more than 30 years ago won’t happen again.

Hum…

After about three hours, dozens of people came out of the passage.

Li Heiye, Li Baizhou, and Chen Aochen were among them.

…

In the underground city, Han Fei was painting a teleportation array in the air. However, this teleportation array wasn’t as good as the one that Junior Uncle Faceless had once drawn. The teleportation array he learned in the Ancient 72-Floor Demon Realm seemed to be able to send people at most 500 kilometers away.

Perhaps the distance could be longer if he studied and improved it for some time, but he didn’t have the time now.

Han Fei could only draw an array for regular distance, which could save him many troubles and the speed was still very fast.

…

Cao Wudi said indifferently, “You failed?”

Cao Tian nodded slightly.

Cao Wudi turned his eyes to Cao Qiu and sighed slightly. “Well, let’s go home!”

On the other side, Sun Baisheng asked, “Boy Li, Boy Chen, do you know who killed Sun Mu?”

Li Heiye and Li Baizhou froze for a moment and said in unison, “Sun Mu is dead?”

Chen Aochen shook his head. “I didn’t meet him.”

Li Heiye said, “Maybe it was Han Fei! He probably got the Sea Quelling Painting too.”

However, at this time, Cao Qiu’s cold voice rang out, “I killed him. Do you have a problem with it?”
