Chapter 162: Sweeping Across the Stronghold of Western Mountain

Outside the valley of the Western Mountain in Chang Hai City, a woman and a beast were standing on a high place and looking at the building in the valley. Both of them seemed uneasy and worried as they heard the intense fighting that was inside the building.

The little monster tried to relieve its anxiety by breathing through its nose. It indeed wanted to rush out and help, but considering Liu Yan's current state, it had no choice but to stay and protect her.

Liu Yan was lying on the back of the little monster. Her worry and unease were even more than the little monster. Although she had seen how powerful Qin Hao was, she was unsure that Qin Hao could handle so many Martial Cultivators by himself.

After thinking over, she thought of Li Zhanwu. Maybe at this time, she could only ask for his help.

Her phone had been destroyed, but as a member of the special troop, she could encounter exceptional circumstances at any time, so she had an alternative communication device for special events. She used all her strength to reach the innermost layer of her clothes and pulled out something even smaller than a headset. Then, she used the fur of the little monster and poked it into that thing. A special simple communication device was ready then. However, this communicator could only get one call.

……

In the capital, Li Zhanwu was still worrying in his office as Yu Lianshu suddenly rushed in, "General, the emergency center received a call from Liu Yan. She wants to speak with you personally."

"What?" Li Zhanwu was startled that she used the emergency center's communication, which meant the matter indeed became serious. "Let's go." Li Zhanwu ran out.

Li Zhanwu answered Liu Yan’s call in the emergency center’s office.

"Liu Yan, what's going on? Speak slowly. Calm down." Once he picked up the phone, Li Zhanwu could tell that Liu Yan's breathing was fast but weak, as though she was on the verge of fainting.

"General, General, quickly, quickly send someone to save …save the instructor." Liu Yan said with difficulty.

Hearing that, Li Zhanwu felt his brain was rumbled. As he predicted, something serious happened, very serious. Even Qin Hao needed to be saved now. How could it not be an important matter?

However, at this point, Li Zhanwu knew that he couldn't be panic and disordered. He had to calm down. "Liu Yan, where are you now?" He had to know the location.

"Chang… Chang Hai … Western... Western Mountain …Du, du, du …" Liu Yan could only say a few words before the signal was cut off. There was only “du du” sound left in the receiver.

"Hey, hello, Liu Yan, Liu Yan." Li Zhanwu shouted. He knew that there was no use of shouting. so he put down the phone, turned around and ordered seriously: "All members of special troop Eagle force move out and go to Chang Hai."

"General, I'm afraid that Eagle force is unable to save him who is far away." Yu Lianshu anxiously reminded, “It'll be better to report this matter to the higher-up and order the team stationed in Chang Hai to rescue them."

"I'll go right away." Before Li Zhanwu even finished his words, he had already rushed out of the office.

… ….

At the same time, in the capital, the Dragon Group’s head Long Taibai and a few core members were gathering in a small meeting room of the Dragon Group. They were not in a meeting, nor chatting, as if they were waiting for something. He had received the news about the fierce battle in Western Mountain earlier than Li Zhanwu, so he knew the situation better.

In a few minutes, a bald man walked in. It was Cang Ying from the Cang Hai Sect.

"Dragon Head, a report from the Western Mountain shows that the battle was very fierce. Qin Hao's power was not fake. People in the Western Mountain were almost all slaughtered by himself. Even Cang He is not his match." The moment Cang Ying said this, the expressions of everyone present except Long Taibai slightly changed.

Long Taibai's pale face was still gloomy. He looked like a dead man as he sat there without any signs of life.

Everyone in the room had been used to his expression. Otherwise, if someone who was not familiar with him sat next to him, he would feel as if sitting next to a dead man.

"Fortunately, Elysian Four Ghosts from Elysian Land Sect arrived in time and managed to control the situation. They will report the battle news as soon as possible." Thanks to the development of communication in this era, even from a thousand miles away, one could still know the things of thousands of miles away.

“Aren’t they Elysian Five Ghosts? Why are there only Elysian Four Ghosts? " A man in robes curiously asked. It was Taoist Xuanqing from Shang Qing Taoist Temple.

"Originally, they are Five Ghosts, but unfortunately one of them got here early and was killed in the Western Mountain. Now, only Four Ghosts were left." Cang Ying explained.

"Hiss." Someone inhaled a breath of cold air, " One of the Elysian Five Ghosts was killed at the Western Mountain. Why didn’t our people find that?"

"At that time, all the experts were sent out, and the remaining two man and two dogs were also knocked unconscious by the person who came to rescue An Ru, so no one noticed." Cang Ying said helplessly, "However, someone guessed that it has something to do with the person who saved An Ru, but, … according to words of the two men who were knocked unconscious and our information, the one who saved An Ru was her security guard, called Wang Zhong. He's just a Martial Cultivator of the early period of the Inner Stage … "

"How could an expert of the early period of the Inner Stage kill a man of the Elysian Five Ghosts?" This time, before Cang Ying could finish, someone immediately raised a question.

Cang Ying smiled bitterly. "Uh, we are investigating it now." Cang Ying was in charge of collecting and reporting all kinds of information in the Dragon Group. It could be said that his achievements and abilities were well-known to everyone, but he had not figured it out in a short time.

"There is no need to ask. It’s Qin Hao who killed him." Long Taibai finally spoke, and his voice was ice-cold and sinister.

"Qin Hao?" Since it was Long Taibai who said so, no one dared to question it. However, some of them still looked at Long Taibai with curiosity, including Cang Ying. Long Taibai had been with them in the past few days. How did he know Qin Hao did it?

Long Taibai knew what they were confusing about. He said coldly: "About An Ru’s matter, Li Zhanwu has already reported it to the high-up, and the high-up has talked with me. Yesterday, the one who saved An Ru was not Wang Zhong, but Qin Hao. Only Qin Hao could be able to kill one of Elysian Five Ghosts.”

These words removed all the doubts. Every one of Elysian Five Ghosts was of a middle period of the Perfection Stage, and yet one of them was killed so easily by Qin Hao, which truly shocked them.

"I have already dealt with it. Let's stop here. In the future, no one is allowed to provoke An Ru and seize her business. Otherwise, anyone who does that will be punished with no forgiveness.” A cold aura spread out, causing everyone to shudder. They all nodded to show their approval. Long Taibai’s words meant everyone should be quiet in recent days.

Ever since Long Taibai took over the leadership of the Dragon Group, he had never warned anyone like this before. He had always turned a blind eye to what his subordinates did because he only focused on the results. As long as the results were good, he never minded how the results come, even if his subordinates used illegal tactics to make it.

What was going on now? Was everything going to change now? Who drove the Dragon Group to make such a change? Was it Qing Hao?

They dare not to ask Long Taibai this question and could only keep it in the heart. At present, the most important thing was to pay attention to the battle in the Western Mountain.

… ….

On the Western Mountain, at the stronghold of the Dragon Group, Qin Hao’s killings created a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Again, the Scarlet Blood Saber kept drinking the blood of enemies happily. It was so excited that it even tried to backlash Qin Hao a few times, which caused Qin Hao to go berserk and made him kill even more crazily. However, with Qin Hao's conscious control and the help of the Earth Spirit Pearl, the Scarlet Blood Saber’s trials failed repeatedly.

"Fellow Taoists, be careful of that little bastard's blade. You definitely can't fight him with toughness." Cang He held the short sword in his hand, covered his bleeding arm, and moved away from the battle. Right now, four dwarf children were fighting against Qin Hao.

All along, Qin Hao killed from upstairs to downstairs with his blood-red eyes. He made a shocking, bloody path along the way.

Cang He knew that Qin Hao was not weak, but he never expected him to be powerful like this. Of course, what he feared the most was not Qin Hao's strength, but his Scarlet Blood Saber, which seemed to be able to destroy anything. Any weapons hitting it were bound to be broken.

It was because of this blade that Cang Kui died and Dongfang Busi died even worse. Dongfang Busi’s head, along with his weapon, had been hacked into two halves. Even if he were called Dongfang Busi for a hundred times, he would still die. Also, even if he were called “Dongfang Yongsheng", he would not be able to live. (Note: Dongfang Busi is Chinese Pinyin, which means Eastern Undead Man. Dongfang Yongsheng means Eastern Long Live.）

Fortunately, Elysian Four Ghosts arrived in the critical time, otherwise he, Cang He would have died under the demon blade.

The power of Elysian Four Ghosts deserved its reputation. They had immediately reversed the situation, making the arrogant Qin Hao could only defend himself. He could not attack, and many wounds had appeared on his body.

With the reversal of the situation, the Scarlet Blood Saber could no longer fully drink blood as it did just now. The blade began to tremble as if urging Qin Hao to accept its backlash. It was its best opportunity now, for Qin Hao was currently besieged by four dwarves. The best way for him to break out the besieging was to accept the backlash of the Scarlet Blood Saber, which would cause his power to soar and make him capable of killing anyone he wanted. Of course, the cost of doing so was exhausting Qin Hao's blood and strength.

The last time he had almost used up all his blood and strength, so he was in a coma for half a month before waking up. Now, he did not want to do this again. He still had many things to do and did not have another half a month to waste. Moreover, at that time, someone saved him when he was unconscious. Who would save him this time if he fell unconscious? He might even meet someone from the Dragon Group that came to help and cut him easily.

Therefore, Qin Hao continued to resist the backlash. At the same time, he stood in the encirclement, vigilantly staring at the four dwarves who had temporarily stopped fighting with him but still besieging him.

The four dwarves were from the famous Elysian Five Ghosts of the Elysian Land Sect. Of course, they could only be called the Elysian Four Ghosts now. Every one of the Four Ghosts was in the middle period of the Perfection Stage, and the leader had even reached the last period of the Perfection Stage.

Qin Hao was at the beginning period of the Third Stage Martial Cultivator. He was sure that he could defeat an expert who was in the middle period of the Perfection Stage. However, now, he was facing four of them. Even with the Scarlet Blood Saber in his hands, he still felt stressful.

Furthermore, the four did not fight him one by one, nor did they attack him like a swarm of bees. Instead, they formed a formation around him, which was the main reason that Qin Hao was struck.
