Chapter 1177: Who Did This?
Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy
It the blood and flesh didn't pile up in Heaven's Terrace at the moment, nobody would believe a massacre like that could happen in such a short time!
Nobody among the killers who wore in black talked except the leader who was giving orders! They didn't shout when they attack; Nor did they moan when they got hit. It was silence. Their discipline, their efficiency, made them move like silent ghosts. They killed for their mission. They completed the mission and left immediately!
They obeyed the rules, followed the orders. They never hesitated. They never left traces behind.
In the entire Heaven's Terrace, they took away everything that might expose themselves. They even clean a tiny piece of the cloth that was ripped off their black clothes. They literally left nothing behind.
What left in Heaven's Terrace was a hell that was filled with mountains of dead and rivers of blood!
…
After the time of incense, the strong wind started to blow with thunderclaps. The superior cultivators from all the great sects were arriving.
This time, the sects had sent their best elites.
The Prime Master of West Hall and their elders arrived, as well as the Prime Master of East Hall and their elders. Misty Cloud Palace, Qiong-Hua Palace, and Ice Cloud Palace had sent important figures of their leadership… Saint Sunlight Sect, Saint Starlight Sect, Cold Moon Palace, and the other four great sects also had sent their elites.
Even though they were all influential figures in the world, when they saw the hellish scene in Heaven's Terrace, they all took a cold breath in a tremble.
They were all experienced cultivators, who had seen lots of battles. However, it was their first time to see a lot of dead bodies which all belonged to superior cultivators. They soon realized the massacre happened in such a short time and understood what a profound effect this event could do to the world. None of them could stay calm anymore!
"Quick! Check if there are any survivors!"
It was Prime Master Wu of Saint Sunlight Sect, who was talking anxiously.
"Prime Master Wu, are you scared numb in your head by this?" A middle-aged man who was about in his thirties with a handsome face looked at Wu Huitian disdainfully and blandly said, "Look at the dead. It is impossible even to find a complete body, yet you actually want to see a survivor from it. I wonder whether you don't have a brain or your brain is rotten!
"Please don't be mad. I am simply telling the truth. At the very least, if there are any breathing ones on the floor, do you think we are unable to sense it? You are the Prime Master of Saint Sunlight Sect. That gives you the right to stand here with us. However, don't expect the rest of us are as stupid as you are. You can embrace shame, but we can't bear to do so!" The man smiled and then continued, "The point that we should focus on is we should find out who came beforehand and did this massacre!"
Wu Huitian was humiliated, so his face turned red. However, he didn't say anything about it, just stood aside with a dark face. Apparently, that middle-aged man was so powerful that even Wu Huitian didn't dare to mess with!
The prime masters and elders of the sects all just stood aside. Their disciples were checking the details in the scene.
"People who killed these men are all superior cultivators. Even the weaker ones of them had brilliant experience in fighting!
"Look at the wounds on this body part… The cut… Whoever did this must be over level six of Dao Origin Stage.
"The killers haven't been gone long… The wounds are still bleeding. The body parts are still warm.
"There are tens of thousand corpses in Heaven's Terrace. All the dead were beyond level one of Dao Origin Stage. The killers must be at least three thousand cultivators who are all over level six of Dao Origin Stage! Otherwise, they couldn't have done this so fast!
"Whoever gathered in Heaven's Terrace were not ordinary cultivators. Many of them were pretty potent. There must be many high-level Dao Origin Stage cultivators among the killers. They must have more than one level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivators! Otherwise, they couldn't be sure they could finish the massacre so soon!
"Furthermore… They have taken away all the spatial equipment from these people. It should have taken them quite some time to do this. I am afraid they have one thousand more people to get this job done at the same time. At least one thousand.
"Many dead bodies looked poisoned. There are poisonous signs on the wounds that were caused by edge tools, including swords.
"The poison they used on their weapons is too ordinary to trace back to the source. It is a strong poison.
"Ninety percent of these people were beheaded by one strike.
"The shooting weapons are all standard weapons. I don't see any specialty.
"They are a large number of superior cultivators who move fast and secretly. They came and killed, finished and left. It was clean and fast. They must be a well-trained organization."
It had eventually come to a conclusion.
The others who heard the conclusion of the conjecture all looked gloomy and sullen on the face.
"Who are they? What do they belong to? Why are they so overwhelming?
"We are all here. Two great halls, three great palaces, seven great sects, and the other powerful sects such as Sky Ice Palace, we are all here. The best league in Qing-Yun Realm is here. We know that we didn't do this massacre.
"In another word, there is an influential and domineering secret force out there in our realm…"
That middle-aged man looked sullen. His face looked dark. "This force… Does it mean none of us has ever noticed it?"
He was asking all the others.
He looked around their faces one by one.
Everybody was shocked.
They couldn't believe that there was a secret organization in their realm!
Nobody noticed anything about it!
How horrible!
What terrified them most was that they still didn't know how dominant that organization could be. After all, they didn't know whether they had used all their power to make this massacre or just a part of it! They hoped it was the former. Because if the truth were the latter, the organization would be too horrible!
After a while, Prime Master of Cold Moon Palace, Yue Changtian coughed and said, "Prime Master Zong, we did notice something earlier. It seems there is a strange organization in the martial art that has recently done some mysterious and creepy cases… It seems to be a big organization…"
The middle-aged man was the prime master of the most dominant sect in Qing-Yun Realm, Zong Xingyu. Zong Yuankai, the first person who ate the Divine Yin Yang Fruits in history, the initiator of West Hall, who had been the world's most potent cultivator in the history, was Zong Xingyu's ancestor.
