The moonlight shines down, and the whole world looks hazy.
In the valley, the bonfire was still burning brightly.
Zheng Donglai, Fang Qingshan and others had already eaten the big snake that was roasted golden and dripping with oil, leaving only a few bones.
In the wilderness outside the valley, beasts roared one after another, ringing out a few times from time to time.
Occasionally, some ferocious beasts would break into the valley without knowing whether they were alive or dead. Then, there would be a scream, which would become silent in the blink of an eye.
In order to avoid attracting the attention of Wanjian Sect, the Bloodthirsty Sect and others did not fly into the sky, but only flew across the ground.
Wherever powerful ferocious beasts were entrenched, they were far away and had already avoided them.
The main reason why they chose to settle in this valley was that the ferocious beasts roaming around in this area were relatively weak and could not pose much of a threat to them.
Neither the Bloodthirsty Sect nor the Seven Kills Sect actually belong to this area.
Decades ago, they could not survive in other places and were evicted, so they moved here.
If a sect wants to develop, the two conditions of population and resources are definitely indispensable.
The Bloodthirsty Sect that Zheng Donglai and Fang Qingshan belonged to was very poor when they first moved to this area, so they occupied a hilltop and temporarily used it as their territory.
After dormant for some years, after decades of development, their Bloodthirsty Sect has naturally grown a lot stronger than when they first moved here.
It's a pity that compared with sects like Wanjian Sect, which have been developed in the local area for countless years, the gap between them in terms of population and resources is not a little bit.
The bloodthirsty killing of seven sects and two sects has been planning for a long time.
This time, they felt that the time was ripe and were ready to play big.
Zheng Donglai, Fang Qingshan and others are just part of the Bloodthirsty Sect's dispatch this time.
The small goal set by the senior leaders of the sect is to seize at least two cities of Wanjian Sect.
Of course, what they want to move is only small cities like Jinshan City.
As for the four major cities under Wanjian Sect, that is their foundation.
In order to prevent the Wanjian Sect from jumping over the wall and fighting them desperately, the big cities would be in chaos at best.
Their Bloodthirsty Sect will definitely not target those cities.
As for the Seven Kills Sect, what are their plans?
Zheng Donglai and Fang Qingshan didn't know much about it. They only knew that in this operation, the two sects were fighting together.
"Let's go, it's dark and we can't see clearly, we're on our way."
"At our speed, we can reach the outside of Jinshan City in one or two hours."
"Lao Hong is a very good person. Maybe he has already arranged for fine wine and beautiful girls."
"Just wait for us to pass by, and then help us clean up the dust!"
After eating and drinking, Zheng Donglai stretched, smiled and greeted the people around him.
The Lao Hong in his mouth is naturally Hong Qingtian.
At the beginning, they were considered to be the same group of people who joined the Bloodthirsty Sect. After decades, there were not many of that group left.
With this friendship, he and Hong Qingtian have always had a pretty good relationship.
This time, the most fundamental reason why he chose to come to Jinshan City was precisely because Hong Qingtian was lurking here.
"Let's set off now and arrive at Jinshan City at around three o'clock."
"At this time, it will be much more convenient for us to sneak into the city without anyone noticing."
"Old Zheng, you and Hong Qingtian are quite familiar with each other. How will you arrange it when you enter the city? It's up to you..."
Fang Qingshan on the side has also stood up.
After looking at the sky, he waved his hand and walked directly towards the entrance of the valley.
Behind him, Zheng Donglai and others quickly followed.
In just a blink of an eye, the group of people had disappeared into the thick darkness of night.
…
Jinshan City, West District, Chen Mansion.
After slapping Hong Qingtian to death, Chen Hai packed up the loot and went straight back to his mansion without stopping.
Hong Qingtian's servants were still patrolling around the study.
Before dying, Hong Qingtian didn't even have time to scream.
His death was not noticed by the servants at all.
Should we kill all these servants? Chen Hai has also had this idea before.
However, after thinking about it, he felt that it was better to forget it.
After all, he is not a murderous person. Those servants may be from the bloodthirsty sect, but they pose no threat to him at all.
He came in and out of this mansion, and the only person who saw him, Hong Qingtian, was already dead.
The remaining servants in the mansion did not even see his shadow.
Killing them doesn't seem necessary at all.
Chen Mansion, inside the study.
A little firelight had just lit up the study room, and Chen Haizheng was about to check out the trophies he had picked up.
The door opened from the outside, and Ye Qingqing, wearing a coat, walked in from the outside.
Her bedroom is right next to this study room.
She must have heard the movement in the study, so she got up and rushed here.
"It's so late and you still haven't slept?"
The space inside the storage bag is too small and there is no room for many things.
Chen Hai packed the trophies collected from Hong Qingtian in a bag.
Putting the baggage on the desk in front of him, he raised his head, looked at Ye Qingqing, and said softly.
"I can't sleep without you."
"You came back so late and went out to steal chickens and dogs again?"
After looking at Chen Hai and the baggage placed in front of him, Ye Qingqing gave him a roll of eyes and joked.
"I killed a guy who was ignorant and wanted to take advantage of our family. This is the trophy I collected from him." Chen Hai explained with a dry laugh.
What he said was not a lie, it was indeed the truth.
If that Hong Qingtian hadn't been suspicious of their family and had some bad thoughts, perhaps Chen Hai wouldn't have taken action and killed him directly.
"You guys, you're like this again!" With a bitter look on his face, Ye Qingqing sighed.
She has always been well protected by Chen Hai.
Having come from modern society, she still maintains her previous sense of right and wrong and values.
Every time she knew that Chen Hai had committed a murder, she always felt a little uncomfortable and didn't know what to say.
"Qingqing, the world has changed. In today's world, the weak eat the strong. The old method no longer works here."
"If I don't strike first and kill this person, if I am negligent, he will come to deal with you."
"I know you don't like to see me kill people, but do you think it will be useful if I run to reason with others?"
With a forced smile, Chen Hai explained.
"If you can't kill someone, it's better to try to save others' lives." After a moment of silence, Ye Qingqing responded.
Although she knew that what Chen Hai said was indeed reasonable, she just felt a little unable to accept it in her heart.
"Yeah! I know!" Chen Hai nodded.
He pointed to the baggage on the desk in front of him, smiled and said: "Come, Qingqing, take a look at the trophies I got."
When he said this, he had already unpacked the baggage in front of him.
There is a small pile of spirit coins of different colors. Calculated, it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of them.
In Jinshan City, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to earn some spiritual coins.
But Hong Qingtian definitely does not belong to the category of ordinary people.
The tens of thousands of spirit coins were just what Chen Hai had collected from him, and they did not even count as his entire belongings.
If he had been more patient, he could have plundered the entire mansion and obtained at least several times more spiritual coins.
In addition to the spirit coins, there are two other items left.
One of them is a bell the size of a palm.
The other piece was a picture, which was a little weird. It looked red and seemed to be blood.
Hearing Chen Hai's greeting, Ye Qingqing hesitated and walked over.
"Ah..." When her eyes fell on the picture, she looked frightened and screamed.
