#254 - The Killing Begins
Elder Han Yu immediately issued an order, saying decisively, "Immediately notify all cultivators, large and small, of my Frozen Department to search the entire Frozen Plains. We must not let Li Chengfeng escape! This child is exceptionally cunning, and we must go all out."
Zhou Tie immediately accepted the order. He knew that this matter was extraordinary, and he was already extremely fortunate to have survived.
He scurried off to deliver the order, disappearing into the cave dwelling in a panic.
Just then, a beautiful young woman emerged from the shadows beside him. Her eyebrows were like paintings, and her eyes sparkled with a bloodthirsty light like the stars in the sky.
Her figure was curvaceous and exceptionally beautiful, but at this moment, she wore a sneer.
"How is it? Was I right?" the young woman said contemptuously. "Ever since I learned that the traitor of the Wind Cloud Sect was Li Chengfeng, I immediately rushed over from the Blood Clan.
This person is exceptionally cunning. Back when he was still in the Qi Training stage, he had some old ancestors running around in circles, seeking survival in the cracks.
Never underestimate him. He may have a treasure that conceals his divine sense and aura, perhaps hiding among other cultivators, deceiving everyone.
Based on his deeds, I slowly investigated and discovered that he is good at disguise, often hiding in other sects, causing trouble under another identity.
He was first in the Blood Demon Sect, then he went to the Puppet Sect, and now he's in the Wind Cloud Sect.
Every time he goes to a sect, he changes his identity and greatly increases his strength.
Such a person is very terrifying. Once he grows up, he will definitely be a great threat to you and me."
Elder Han Yu looked at the beautiful young woman, nodded, and said, "I know that this is your capital for cooperation with me.
As long as I capture Li Chengfeng and hand him over to you, you must give me the Frozen Sky Grass to help me advance to the Nascent Soul stage. This is the condition of our cooperation.
I also know that Li Chengfeng is by no means simple. My Frozen Mountain is not deaf.
I have already learned that he has a Substitute Technique. Once it spreads, the entire Frozen Mountain, even our sect leader, will take action. At that time, your Blood Clan will have no chance.
Therefore, before the news leaks, you must increase the price for me.
In addition to the Frozen Sky Grass, you must also give me ten thousand high-grade spirit stones or corresponding treasures, otherwise, I will immediately report to my sect leader."
The beautiful young woman smiled slightly. She knew that Elder Han was bargaining, but this was exactly what she expected. She slowly said, "Elder Han, we will consider your request.
But please understand that the importance our Blood Clan places on Li Chengfeng far exceeds your imagination.
As long as we can join forces to capture him, the conditions you mentioned will not be a problem.
However, we also need your full cooperation to ensure that the news does not leak, and to mobilize all the power of Frozen Mountain to search for Li Chengfeng.
However, this child is exceptionally cunning, and I am worried that Elder Han Yu will return without success. We must enjoy a foolproof plan."
Elder Han Yu gritted his teeth and said, "I must capture him to avenge my daughter. At the same time, it is also to pave the way for my future.
In this Frozen Plains, he has no way to escape. According to my investigation and understanding, this child is good at disguise, often mixing in with other sects or ordinary people to confuse the public.
But in this Frozen Plains, besides my Frozen Mountain, there is no other sect. If he dares to come, he will be walking into a trap."
The beautiful woman from the Blood Clan beside him, Zhongli Meiying, nodded and said, "Elder Han Yu, don't underestimate him.
There are many villages and towns nearby, and it is very difficult to investigate them one by one. If he has a chance to escape, it will be very difficult to catch him again."
Elder Han Yu said confidently, "I have my own way.
I have designated an area of a thousand miles around, including all the villages and towns, with a total of one hundred thousand villagers.
I will have the power of Frozen Mountain gather these one hundred thousand villagers together and conduct a thorough investigation. Rather kill ten thousand by mistake than let one go."
Zhongli Meiying gasped when she heard this and said, "Elder Han Yu is indeed decisive. But if you do this, will Frozen Mountain blame you? How will you deal with it then?"
Elder Han Yu snorted coldly, "These villagers are just lowly people, like livestock.
Even if they are killed, we can just grab them from other places. Don't worry, this is not the first time Frozen Mountain has done such a thing.
As long as we don't use the core disciples of Frozen Mountain, the higher-ups will turn a blind eye. It doesn't matter how many of these outer villagers we kill."
Zhongli Meiying nodded, shocked by the decisiveness of Frozen Mountain.
She thought that if they really did this, then Li Chengfeng would really have no way to escape.
Because no matter who he disguised himself as, he would not be able to escape under such a large-scale massacre.
She sneered and said, "That's good. However, Li Chengfeng must be handed over to me. I want to torture him properly, because he killed my sister, Zhongli Qingying. This hatred is irreconcilable."
Elder Han Yu said seriously, "That is natural. We will act according to the agreement.
However, I must personally command such a large-scale operation, and use the nine Core Formation elders of the family to set off with me.
Zhongli Meiying, you are also one of them. Your early Core Formation cultivation is also a considerable force.
If you can catch him beforehand, the transaction will naturally be completed."
Zhongli Meiying nodded and said, "Okay, I will do my best. Li Chengfeng killed my sister, and I must avenge this."
Elder Han Yu finally felt relieved and said, "Since that's the case, let's begin.
Bing Zhan, come over."
He snorted coldly and summoned another confidant, who was also in the late Foundation Establishment stage.
Elder Han Yu took out the Elder Token and ordered, "Immediately mobilize manpower, all the Han family members, mobilize five thousand cultivators.
Designate a range of one thousand kilometers and begin the investigation. If there are any suspicious people, immediately send a signal, and we will rush there instantly. We must not let Li Chengfeng escape."
Bing Zhan cupped his fist and said, "Yes, I will do it immediately."
Then, he quickly left to prepare to mobilize manpower.
Elder Han Yu and Zhongli Meiying left the cave dwelling, their escape lights flashed, and they flew outwards together.
They knew that the next action would be a large-scale search, and there could be no slightest negligence.
At this time, Li Chengfeng did not know that his whereabouts had been exposed.
He was driving the Shengjie Space and drifting outwards at a very fast speed.
But compared to really walking outside, this speed was still much slower.
However, Li Chengfeng felt that this was safer. While flying, he used his divine sense to explore the situation below to see what actions Frozen Mountain was taking.
Just then, suddenly a cultivator from Frozen Mountain flew over, led by three Foundation Establishment cultivators, leading a group of Qi Training cultivators.
They quickly surrounded a village, and an old man immediately led hundreds of villagers to kneel on the ground and said, "Welcome, Immortal! It's not yet time to pay the rent, why are you rushing here, Immortal? Did something happen?"
The leading Foundation Establishment cultivator, named Leng Feng, said domineeringly, "I suspect that there is someone in your village who is impersonating Li Chengfeng."
The village chief immediately retorted, "I have already counted, we have a total of five hundred and sixty villagers, not a single outsider. Please, Immortal Master, investigate carefully."
Leng Feng snorted dismissively and said, "Investigate my ass! That Li Chengfeng is good at hiding, how could you mortals be able to see it?
Blame it on the fact that Li Chengfeng is a demonic thief!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and ordered, "Come on, kill them all!"
All the cultivators immediately sacrificed their Frozen Ice Flying Swords, and like slicing melons and vegetables, they beheaded all these innocent villagers, and blood flowed like a river.
Then, they took out a special magic weapon—a gourd, and used a magic formula to absorb all the souls of these villagers into it.
Leng Feng looked at this scene and said indifferently, "Some lowly people, kill them if you kill them, what's there to be afraid of?"
Another Foundation Establishment cultivator worriedly said, "It seems that Li Chengfeng is not here. Let's go to the next village. We must complete the task before the other fellow disciples. There is a big reward this time."
