Chapter 1359: Chapter 1360: This Is Just the Beginning (5)
"Have we found out who did it?"
Shao Xing nodded, "We’re still investigating, there should be news shortly."
Sure enough, just as Shao Xing finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a white coat pushed the door open and walked in.
"Chairman, Director Shao, the results are out. This time, the bomb was..." He hesitated for a while, frowning, unsure of how to tell Long Zaitian.
Long Zaitian gave him a cold glance, "Speak!"
The middle-aged man in the white coat shuddered and quickly nodded.
"The bomb inspection results are out, Sect Leader, this time the results are a bit strange."
Long Zaitian raised an eyebrow slightly, "What’s strange?"
"Sect Leader, do you remember the sensory device bomb that Chairman Shao asked me to study some time ago? Today’s bomb is an improved version of that from a few days ago, only its power is much greater."
Anyone could understand the implication of the middle-aged man’s words, the bomb was made by him, but later it was modified by someone else.
Long Zaitian’s face grew increasingly somber. If he didn’t know who was behind this by now, he might as well not be the Sect Leader of Xuanqing Sect!
"Godfather, what do you plan to do about this? Are we just going to swallow our pride?" Looking at the calm and indifferent expression on Long Zaitian’s face, Shao Xing felt uncertain but was unwilling to be suppressed by An Yiqing just like that.
"Of course not, that Yellow Hair girl slapped me in the face like this, if I don’t retaliate, won’t we become a laughing stock in the martial world? Ah Xing, give the order, tell everyone to get ready, be on standby at any time!"
The night was unusually quiet today because of what happened during the day, and the headquarters of Xuanqing Sect was desolate.
In the deep of the night, with the bright moon hanging high, the entire Jinyin City had already fallen asleep, except for those places where nightlife continued.
Exhausted after a long day, Long Zaitian had already gone to bed, and even Shao Xing, who usually had good health, was mentally and physically drained by the day’s shock.
After a quick shower, just as Shao Xing was about to go to bed, a sharp ringtone suddenly blared next to his ear.
Shao Xing was startled, for some reason feeling that the ringtone tonight was especially chilling.
"What is it! If it’s not serious, you’re dead!" Shao Xing angrily picked up the phone and yelled irritably.
However, the person on the other end of the line didn’t answer, only a lot of noise came through the receiver.
"Hello? Speak! Have you gone mute?" Shao Xing thought someone was playing a prank on him and got completely enraged.
There was still no response from the other side, only the noise through the receiver got even louder.
There was music, screaming, the sound of footsteps stomping, and the sound of breaking glass, Shao Xing frowned, immediately guessing where the caller was.
"Damn it! If you’re at a bar this late, I don’t care, just stop bothering me!"
Shao Xing cursed a bunch of profanities, about to hang up, when a sudden shrill wail sounded from the receiver.
"Help! Help! The hall is under attack! Tell the Sect Leader the hall is under attack! Ugh—"
"Hello? Hello hello! Speak! What do you mean the hall is under attack? Where are you?!"
Shao Xing bellowed a few more times, but realized there was no longer any sound from the other side, as if a taut string had snapped abruptly.
A strong sense of unease suddenly surged in Shao Xing’s heart, his right eyelid kept twitching, feeling as if his eyeball might pop out.
As he pondered, someone suddenly banged on his bedroom door desperately, and that person was shouting frantically with all his might.
"Director Shao, get up quickly! All the halls of Xuanqing Sect in Jinyin City have been bombed! The brothers are all injured, heavy casualties!
One wave had just subsided when another rose, the news hit Shao Xing with such force that he nearly fainted. He dashed forward in a few strides, opened the bedroom door swiftly, and grabbed the messenger by the collar.
"What did you just say? Say it again!"
"Cough cough, all the halls of Xuanqing Sect in Jinyin City have been destroyed! The enemy’s force is too strong, we can’t get close!" The man’s neck was nearly choked by Shao Xing, face flushed, speaking with difficulty.
Shao Xing cursed fiercely, let go of the other person’s collar, quickly dressed, and ran with long strides to Long Zaitian’s room.
At this time, in the bars where the halls of Xuanqing Sect in Jinyin City were located, the same scene was being repeated—massacre!
Thirteen men in black split into several groups, taking a few people from their respective teams, cutting through the night like black-cloaked reapers, mercilessly reaping lives.
"Lao Shi, let’s see who kills more tonight! If I lose, I’ll give you that rare book you’ve been thinking about! What do you say?" said one man in black, his face covered with a black mask, revealing only a pair of bright eyes, filled with expectation and childlike innocence.
The lean man called "Lao Shi" had glasses perched on his nose and gave the playful man a cold glance, raised his knife, and turned to plunge into the crowd.
"Damn it! Lao Shi, you’re cheating! I didn’t say start yet!" the playful man flipped him the finger, then quickly joined the fray.
In an instant, blood flowed like a river, with cries of agony everywhere!
By the time Long Zaitian and Shao Xing rushed over, the bars at the four halls had been completely massacred, leaving only a sea of corpses piled high on the ground!
On the dim wall, six bloody words caught Long Zaitian’s eye—
This is just the beginning!
