64 -61: Shifting the Blame

The weather tonight was excellent, with the moon hidden behind clouds, leaving the night extremely dark, and the air dry, the wind neither strong nor weak.

It was what they call ‘a moonless night for murder, a windy sky for setting fires’.

Chu Xisheng and Chu Yunyun stealthily left the Martial Arts Academy, quickly sprinting across the rooftops.

Due to the lack of moonlight, the surroundings were pitch black, so dark you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.

However, Chu Yunyun’s vision was at the human limit; the night scenery was no different from daytime in her eyes.

Chu Xisheng had just enhanced his “Five Senses Spiritual Communication” talent and could also see in the dark.

The only thing was that Chu Xisheng’s movement technique was somewhat weaker, his “Light Cloud Jump” at the second level was not yet sufficient to allow him to leap freely over the complex terrain of the rooftops.

He prioritized caution, ensuring to make no noise even if his speed was somewhat slower.

Chu Yunyun ran ahead, occasionally stopping to wait for Chu Xisheng to catch up.

The two quickly arrived at the city’s east side and stopped under the eaves of a five-story tavern.

This place was near the city wall, just thirty yards away from the East City Gate, and less than three miles from the East City Pier.

Looking down from here, one could see a large warehouse covering more than ten acres not far ahead of them.

At the entrance of the warehouse hung a large flag emblazoned with the words “Long’s Warehouse,” fluttering in the wind.

Further away, several watchmen were beating the watch drums.

“It’s the fourth watch of the night, be careful with lights and candles!”

Chu Xisheng knew this place was the Long Family’s distribution center for goods transport, where the family’s various bulk goods were transferred and stored.

After the Iron Banner Gang had sealed off the Long Family’s water transport routes, the warehouse had lost its purpose.

However, the number of clan soldiers the Long Family stationed there had not decreased but increased.

Even late at night, a squad of armored soldiers patrolled the outer wall with strict defenses.

This was because the variety of goods stored by the Long Family here was gradually increasing.

Chu Xisheng looked down from afar, seeing various wooden crates already piled up like mountains inside the warehouse courtyard.

Chu Xisheng couldn’t help but frown slightly.

He had guessed that Chu Yunyun wanted to strike at the Long Family but had not expected her to choose this warehouse as the target.

In that courtyard, there were at least eighty clan soldiers of the Long Family, and there were several other warehouses nearby, which were properties of the powerful families and clans of Xiushui County, all similarly well-guarded.

And just thirty yards away was the city gate, where three hundred households of the City Guard Army were stationed.

They hadn’t scouted the point beforehand and knew nothing about the warehouse’s interior defenses or structure.

After observing the area for a while, Chu Yunyun brought her hands together to cast a spell, conjuring a barely noticeable spiritual wind that gently brushed into the interior of the warehouse.

This was the “Wind Sensing Technique,” using the wind to sense detailed information about the target location.

After losing her Martial Arts True Essence, Chu Yunyun had also lost her Spiritual Sense and inspiration.

Therefore, after she started training as a sorcerer, her first magic was “Wind Sense,” which could compensate for her loss in sensing ability to a certain extent.

Chu Yunyun concentrated deeply, and after about twenty breaths, she opened her eyes, “Later, I will go in and kill.

You keep watch for me!”

After hearing this, Chu Xisheng raised his eyebrows slightly, “Just keep watch?”

“With your keen eyesight, what else would you do but keep watch?”

Seeing Chu Xisheng eager to try, rubbing his hands in anticipation, Chu Yunyun couldn’t help but laugh, “Then you take care of the Eastern Courtyard, where there are five patrol soldiers.

These five have a cultivation of Ninth Grade, wearing iron armor on their upper bodies.

The leader is a man with a scar on his face, with a True Yuan Cultivation at the upper ninth grade.

Jump over the wall directly to go in, try not to make noise when killing.

And if you have spare time, you can also go to the southern warehouse to bring out several barrels of vegetable oil to spill around.

The more oil, the better.”

She had brought Chu Xisheng here to let him gain some experience and accumulate combat experience.

Just as she finished speaking, Chu Yunyun’s figure dropped straight down from the fifth layer of the tavern’s eaves.

Right below her was a squad of five Long clan soldiers passing by.

It was only when Chu Yunyun hovered above their heads that the five men finally noticed her presence.

In the next instant, Chu Yunyun’s hands moved swiftly, creating a blur of afterimages, silencing the five Long clan soldiers without a sound as they fell in the corner.

She reached out and caught the two falling lanterns, hanging them back on the wall.

Next, Chu Yunyun sprang into the air with a leap, skillfully flipping over the warehouse’s courtyard wall like a night bat.

Watching this scene, Chu Xisheng couldn’t help but shake his head slightly.

He couldn’t understand why Chu Yunyun, who could remain as calm as still water while engaged in killing, arson, combat, and stealth, would become so nervous doing household chores that she would lose control of her strength.

Chu Xisheng had no time to ponder this as he hurriedly followed her.

He moved lightly and deftly, jumping down from the top of the restaurant in layers, and then clumsily clamoring over that seven-foot-tall courtyard wall.

As Chu Xisheng leaped down from the top of the courtyard wall, the few below immediately sensed something and looked up at him.

“Who’s there—”

The scar-faced leader, with a fierce look in his eyes, swiftly drew his sword while shouting.

However, just as the words escaped his mouth, a black crescent of sword light had already swept past his throat.

It was only in comparison to Chu Yunyun that Chu Xisheng’s movements could be considered clumsy.

At the Ninth Rank, he was as agile as a leopard, his sword skill extremely fierce, as fast as lightning.

The moment he landed, Chu Xisheng had already slain three men.

Immediately afterward, his figure flashed, silencing the calls for help of two others with a chilling black sword light, which also splattered a large amount of fresh blood on the ground.

He couldn’t achieve the soundless and traceless effect like Chu Yunyun.

When the five bodies fell to the ground, their iron armor clashed against the pavement, making a ‘clank’ sound.

Fortunately, the clan soldiers of the Long Family patrolling nearby had already been cleaned up by Chu Yunyun.

After these sounds, the surroundings fell as silent as death once again.

After killing these five, Chu Xisheng, following Chu Yunyun’s instructions, kept watch, using his Five Senses to observe the commotion at several nearby warehouses while carrying a barrel of oil and splashing it around.

Inside the warehouse where the rapeseed oil was stored, five people were on guard duty, but they had been thoroughly dispatched by Chu Yunyun, now lying unmoving on the ground.

About half a moment later, Chu Yunyun emerged from the main warehouse of the storehouse, carrying a package the size of a basketball.

When she came out, she saw Chu Xisheng writing on the wall.

Utilizing a piece of blood-stained cloth, he wrote the words ‘Blood Wind Thieves’ on the wall. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

It was clear he was preparing to frame and blame the Blood Wind Thieves for this bloody incident.

Chu Yunyun shook her head slightly, “Let me do it.

Your writing lacks spirit and doesn’t look like it came from the hand of a Fifth-grade Martial Cultivator.”

She took the cloth and rewrote the three characters over Chu Xisheng’s original handwriting.

Indeed, the strokes were vigorous and powerful, almost penetrating the wall.

Chu Xisheng inwardly felt alarmed.

How much time had passed, and Chu Yunyun had silently and completely slain all eighty or so people in this warehouse?

To ensure the security of this warehouse directly under the Iron Banner Gang’s watch, the Long Family had to have stationed at least a Sixth-grade Martial Cultivator there.

Yet, that person hadn’t made a single sound during the attack.

Afterward, the two of them disposed of the bodies and started the fire, dissolving all the corpses and tossing several lanterns onto the rapeseed oil.

Only then did the nearby warehouses and the City Guard Army become alarmed.

Large groups of Armored Soldiers and numerous Martial Cultivators from around gathered together.

However, by the time they arrived, the entire Long’s Warehouse had turned into a sea of fire.

The flames shot up high, rising several meters, and fueled by the wind, the fire rapidly spread in all directions.

This caused chaos at the city gates, with some people panicking, crying out for help, some trying to knock down buildings to contain the fire, and others running with buckets to try and extinguish the blaze.

At this moment, nobody noticed two black figures making their escape amidst the confusion.

Having stealthily traveled three miles away, Chu Xisheng stood on high ground and looked back at the sky-high blaze one more time.

He felt a measure of satisfaction in his heart.

This night not only resulted in the loss of many elite forces for the Long Family, but they also managed to burn goods worth at least seventy thousand Demon Silver.

After tonight, the Inner City Long Family would completely lose the capital to compete with the Iron Banner Gang.

The weakened Long Family would likely lack the strength to go after him and his sister Yunyun.
