Chapter 211: Target, Blood Sect!
After exiting the Bai Pins, the caravan slowed its pace. Following nearly two hours of mountainous roads, they finally approached their destination iernoon.
Crossing a mountain ridge, at the foot of the ridge, a massive city built of pitch-bck giant stones emerged hazily into view. At the fates of the city, dense crowds, like swarms of ants, could be seen verging and p into the gaping maw of the dark city.
"Hehe, Mr. Di Jia, this is Bck Seal City," Ma Yig said from atop the carriage, smiling at Gu He beside him. "Due to the au in the wo days, many powers and strong figures are gathering here. Each year's au brings heavy-hitting treasures. Last year, the fiem was a low-level Earth Grade Dou Teique, which almost caused a fight at the au. It was only avoided thanks to the strong bag of the anizers."
"Earth Grade Dou Teique," Gu He mused, his eyes showing a flicker of i. Ihe Bck Horn Domain was a hub for the ti's rare treasures. Such high-level teiques were nearly impossible to find in the Gama Empire, but here, they were aued off.
"Let's go," Ma Yig gestured, and the caravan sped down towards the great city, stirring up clouds of dust along the way.
"Bck Horn Domain, I hope you won't disappoint me," Gu He murmured, looking at the city that grew rger in his view, feeling a tinge of excitement.
...
The caravan desded from the mountaintop, and within fifteen mihey approached the dark city gates. The speed reduced as they joihe queue of people waiting to enter.
Standing in front of the carriage, Gu He looked up at the huge bck city walls. His gaze swept over the rge characters "Bck Mark City" etched in the ter of the gate, then drifted down to a group of men in bck attire at the entrahey seemed to be the city's gatekeepers, and everyoering had to pay them a signifit fee. Such a practice would incite riots in the Gama Empire, but here in the Bck Horn Domain, it was just a on occurrence.
"Get out of my way, don't mess with me," a boisterous voice suddenly rang out not far from where Gu He was the city's uyle.
Turning his gaze, Gu He saw a bald man, apparently impatient from waiting, grabbing a skinny man in front of him.
"Ah!"
As the bald man's words fell, the skinny man suddenly spun around, swiftly drawing a dagger from his robe and stabbing at the bald man's throat. However, the bald maed quickly, dodging the strike by mere inches, causing the bde to miss his throat and instead cause a gush of blood. A pierg scream echoed from the bald man.
After injuring the bald man, the skinny man slipped out of his clothes like an eel and rolled into a nearby bush, disappearing from sight.
"Bastard, I'll tear you apart!" The bald man, with eyes red in rage and yanking the dagger out, lost his sanity and charged into the bush. After a while, a scream simir to the previous one emanated from within, subsiding only after a long moment.
Standing on the carriage frame, Gu He's gaze lingered on the bush. From the sound of the st scream, he khat the bald man's life was no longer salvageable.
Chapter 211: Target, Blood Sect!
Gu He was somewhat surprised by the i he had just withe bald man's strength was around that of a Two-Star Dou Master, while the skinny man was merely at the Dou Practitioner level. Despite the signifit disparity in their strengths, the skinny man's attack was swift and decisive, showing ation. His ruthless and ing approach was truly shog.
It was evident that those who mao survive in the Bck Horn Domain were no ordinary individuals. Gu He could now genuinely appreciate this fact.
"Hehe, Mr. Di Jia, in the Bck Horn Domain, never judge a person by their appearance or apparent strength. Every year, tless people die for this reason, and their bodies could almost fill a city," Ma Yig ented softly, with a chuckle.
"Indeed," Gu He nodded, fully grasping the rules of the Bck Horn Domain after witnessing the se.
The brief skirmish was merely an interlude for those in the queue, attrag some attention but not much else. Few people seemed surprised by what had transpired.
The caravan slowly made its way forward. After about half an hour, it was finally Ma Yig's turn. As they reached the city gate, Ma Yig quickly handed over a rge bag of gold s, discreetly including a smaller bag within it. The indifferent man in bck accepted the money, weighed it, softened his expression slightly, and waved them through without any further words.
...
After entering the city, Gu He decided to part ways with Ma Yig's caravan. He found an inn to stay temporarily, pnning to rest and freshen up after the long jouromorrow, he would begin his mission... no, his redemption pn.
Since he assing through, he felt it necessary to redeem this chaotid dark pce. He believed in the principle that with great power es great responsibility, and Gu He felt this was his duty.
He wao offer those oppressed a better world.
With this thought in mind, Gu He began to pte his first target.
In the Bck Horn Domain, none of the major powers were benign. Almost every strong figure was stained with blood and guilty of heinous crimes. Gu He's goal was to make these individuals pay the price they deserved. And, if necessary, taking some pensation for himself was only fair.
Various major powers fshed through his mind. After dev the memories of the two Soul Hall officers, Gu He had a clear uanding of the as and influences of these powers in the Bck Horn Domain.
Maple City, Tian Yi, Wild Lion Gang, Bck Skulls, Blood Sect...
After a moment, Gu He decided on his target: the Blood Sect! Known for their bloodthirsty cultivatiohods, requiring the absorption of strong blood to enhaheir strength, the Blood Sect was infamous. It was said that every day, numerous people were captured as blood s for their practices.
Thinking of this, Gu He also remembered the soul body of Wu Huo, the Protector of the Soul Hall. It was time for the name of the Soul Hall to echhout the Bck Horn Domain.
