Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang came out of the hall, and after bidding farewell to Lady Yue and Marissa he left the Eastern Heaven City.

Marissa looked at his back and took a deep breath before walking away. Lady Yue smiled and mumbled, “The sparks of your soul has set a few hearts on fire Shi Lang, I hope that you can keep marching forward or the burning youth will over take you.”

…

Lou Shin followed Shi Lang to the outside of the city before she asked, “What task did you select?”

The Terran replied calmly, “There have been brutal murders in a small village at the border of the Hall Territory. The Yang Family people were the first to discover the issue while they were patrolling the region.

They suspect that one of the ten thousand races are involved, however, since this is our territory they cannot act without us. They have requested for someone from the Two halls to accompany them on the investigation.”

Lou Shin nodded and asked, “Why did you accept the task?”

Shi Lang replied, “The Yang Family is involved, so this task is definitely not simply. They asked for a disciple to assist them, meaning, they are cautious. If the speculation is true, and there is indeed a ten thousand race demon involved in this, then I will get battle experience. This task will also allow me to understand how they investigate.”

Lou Shin nodded and then she said, “You can proceed on your own, I will watch you from the shadows. Remember, I will not come out until you are facing a mortal danger.”

Shi Lang nodded, and took out the lev-bike from his space ring. He also wore his battle armor and rode the vehicle to the location. The journey took him four days, it was really not a close distance call. On the way Shi Lang did not make any stop. The auto pilot moved along with the guidance of the mini satellite.

After four days, the Terran stopped and got down from the lev-bike. He then stowed the bike away, and made his way over the mountain. The small village was established at the foot of the mountain.

Shi Lang used his sensory ability and found that a small teams of two men were patrolling the streets. The Terran approached the village and discovered a few men sitting in the center of the village with a few elderly people bowing to them.

Shi Lang disliked the people who abused their strength. He approached the gates of the village, a person dashed forward and said, “Stop, who are you?”

The Terran had a mask on his face, so the people could not see his face. He took out the scroll from his space ring and tossed it to the guard. The person read it and then said, “Come along.”

Shi Lang observed the man who stopped him. This person was dressed as a soldier in metal armor, the other party was also probing the Terran with spiritual energy. Shi Lang wore the battle armor, it was unique and caught the eye of the person.

The guard led Shi Lang to the center of the village where a few men sat under the big wide banyan tree. The man approached a young lady with a respectful expression and passed her the scroll. Shi Lang did not guess, that they were communicating with spiritual consciousness.

The lady raised her head and released her Dao Lord level spiritual pressure. Shi Lang did not bother, the pressure had no effect on him. The lady was surprised, but the next moment, Shi Lang released his own pressure in response.

There were seven people dressed in silver armor. When they sensed Shi Lang’s pressure they were shocked, because the girl among them was the strongest and this new comer could handle her with ease. They could not help but narrow their gazes and reach out for their weapons.

Shi Lang gazed at them all and said calmly, “I am Shura, I came from Broken Moon Hall to assist you all with the investigation.”

When he finished speaking he looked at the girl, who had regained her composure. The girl tossed back the scroll to him and said, “I understand now, pardon me but the situation is a bit too delicate here and I had no choice but to offend you.”

Shi Lang nodded and asked, “Can you tell me what happened, and what are your findings?”

A young man spoke from the side, “Why must we share the information? Do you wish to take our credit?”

Shi Lang gazed at him and said, “Exchange of information felicitates a better investigation and various points to look at a situation. This territory belongs to the Two Halls. As much as we are grateful for you to stay behind after noticing the anomaly, but I must know what is going on here.

You will not stay here forever, but the Two Halls will be able to prepare better counter measures and prevent something like this from happening again.”

The young man was left speechless, but the young lady before him nodded and said, “My name is Yang Xiaoling. I am the leader of this patrolling party. I will tell you want is going on here.”

Shi Lang cupped his fist to her in thanks. Yang Xiaoling said, “Five days ago, we were roaming around in the wilderness to check for any resurging portals opening over when we found a mass grave.”

Shi Lang frowned behind his mask and asked, “Miss Yang, forgive me, but when you say resurging portals are you talking about the void tunnels linked to the myriad worlds?”

Yang Xiaoling nodded and Shi Lang said, “I was not aware that there was a portal in this region.”

Yang Xiaoling shook her head and said, “These portals do not have any fix location and can open up in any place this is why the Yang Family has patrolling teams set up in place. This is our major duty, the main forces guard the battlefield while we look for it in the wilderness.”

Shi Lang nodded in understanding and Yang Xiaoling said, “We found a mass grave, filled with several corpses. We noticed a few signs.”

The Terran asked, “Can you tell me what signs?”

Yang Xiaoling took out a image stone and channeled her spirit energy through it. Many images began to appear in the void and Shi Lang frowned. The scenes were just heinous. Men, women, children, and even infant corpses lay over each other.

Shi Lang tilted his head as he asked, “The killer took away their innards.”

Yang Xiaoling nodded with some surprise in her gaze. She said, “We suspect that it is a Barbarian Wolf tribe member.”

Shi Lang moved around for a bit and said, “If that was the case, the situation wouldn’t have gone unnoticed. Barbarian Wolves are famous for slaughters and also, they travel in a pack. These killings were made by one culprit.”

The young man from the Yang side furrowed his brows and asked, “What do you mean by that? How can one person do all this?”

Shi Lang said, “Look at the incisions on the torso. They are clean, as if a sword was used to cut them open. If it was a barbarian wolf, they wound would have been torn apart not sliced. The enemy is different from barbarian wolves.”

Yang Xiaoling gulped a mouthful and said, “What you said makes sense. We seemed to have overlooked this.”

Shi Lang shook his head and said, “Let’s go to the mass grave.”
