People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

"Thunder Magic - Wandering Earthworm Thunder!"

Hundreds of lightning serpents scatter the incoming crossbow bolts through the Northern Blue Pool and strike the Hundred Birds Killer who was trapped in the pool.

With a series of moves, he killed more than half of the Hundred Birds Killer.

Cao Ze took a slight breath.

If he hadn't broken through, his internal energy would have been depleted long ago from using lightning techniques at such a high intensity and continuously.

The remaining dozens of Hundred Birds Assassins were terrified by Cao Ze. They watched him stand up from afar, caught in a dilemma, unsure of what to do.

Just as Cao Ze was pondering how to maximize the killing of the birds, shouts rang out from the forest outside the village.

Dozens of Seven Absolutes Hall disciples, clad in armor, formed an orderly battle formation, partially surrounding the remaining Hundred Birds Assassins.

With his full head of silver hair, Tang Qi raised his long sword and shouted, "Leave no one alive!"

Zhang Liang strode up to Cao Ze and asked, "Brother Cao, where are my brothers?"

"In the village..."

Before Cao Ze could finish speaking, his figure flashed past Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang stared in horror at the afterimage left by Cao Ze. Only then did he realize that the Hundred Birds Assassins who appeared to have been struck by lightning were all the work of Cao Ze alone.

"too strong……"

Zhang Liang couldn't help but groan and hurriedly ran towards the village.

With the help of Tang Qi's men, Cao Ze easily wiped out the remaining assassins of Bai Niao.

"Boss Tang Qi, their hideout is in the back mountain. Take your men there again, and don't leave any survivors."

Tang Qi's face twitched slightly. "Alright, take care, sir!"

He knew he was going to kill Bai Niao, so the brothers who came were all his comrades who had gone through thick and thin with him on the Baiyue battlefield, and were absolutely reliable.

Therefore, even if Cao Ze didn't say anything, he would still choose to silence him.

This is his first battle in joining Zilan Pavilion, and also a pledge of loyalty; he absolutely cannot afford to fail.

It wasn't until nightfall that Tang Qi and the others returned covered in blood.

"Miss Zi Nu, all the birds in the back mountain have been killed, along with 120 crossbows, 2,000 crossbow bolts, 30 longbows, a number of swords and knives, a number of documents, and a total of 500 gold coins."

After listening, Zi Nu said, "All the wealth obtained has been divided among the brothers who came. As for the weapons, they will be kept in the Seven Absolutes Hall for now. Please ask Elder Tang Qi to secretly deliver the documents to Zi Lan Xuan."

For her, the most valuable thing was not gold and silver, but these documents and intelligence, from which she could learn about Nightfall's operations.

"it is good."

Tang Qi went down and ordered his men to burn the bodies of the Hundred Birds Assassins. In accordance with Zi Nu's request, he sent the teenagers down the mountain in batches to the Seven Absolutes Hall strongholds around Xinzheng.

Inside the houses in the village, the candlelight was dim.

The black jade unicorn suddenly opened its eyes and sat up, breathing heavily as it looked at Cao Ze and Zi Nu inside the room, its pupils suddenly contracting.

Cao Ze put down the scroll and smiled, "Awake?"

The black jade unicorn's voice was somewhat hoarse, like that of a young girl going through puberty.

"You...you're not going to kill me?"

Zi Nu sat beside the black jade unicorn and said gently, "Why would I kill you? Don't you want to live?"

The black jade unicorn gritted its teeth and said, "Give me back my mask."

Cao Ze's heart stirred slightly. He took out the human skin mask he had removed from the face of the black jade unicorn and gave it to her. "Is it very important to you?"

Before Moyu Qilin could answer, the original human skin mask, once in Moyu Qilin's hand, gradually transformed into a black metal mask.

Zi Nu exclaimed in surprise, "This mask..."

Cao Ze had his answer; he knew why Mo Yu Qilin's disguise skills were so superb.

"Where did you get it?"

The black jade unicorn remained silent for a moment before saying, "The blood pool in the back mountain."

If she hadn't found this mask a month earlier beside a blood-soaked pool covered in snow, she would have died during that elimination round.

It was another pool of blood... Cao Ze took out the "Seven Mansions" scroll map and compared it with the Ancestral Mountain map he had purchased, identifying the location of himself and his companions.

There is a tiny, almost imperceptible red dot on it; you could easily miss it if you weren't paying attention.

This blood pool is a serious problem...

Cao Ze put away the scroll and gave the black jade unicorn a wolf-like smile.

"Little sister, do you want to live a good life?"

Chapter 276 Sisters' Stacking Game

The next morning, Mo Yu Qilin followed Zi Nu and led Cao Ze and the others to the Blood Pool.

Cao Ze stroked his chin, feeling a little speechless as he recalled how Mo Yu Qilin had rejected him last night.

He just accidentally knocked her unconscious, why is he so wary of him?

That's great, Zi Nu got lucky and took advantage of the situation.

However, he has a good attitude. They're all family, and what belongs to Zi Nu is all his anyway.

"I found it here."

The black jade unicorn pointed to the boulder beside the blood pool, which was unremarkable.

Han Fei stepped forward to try to move, only to be met with Hong Lian's merciless mockery: "Brother, you can't do it."

Han Fei was extremely frustrated and snorted, "It weighs over a thousand pounds, isn't it normal that you can't move it?"

Zhang Liang stepped forward and moved the boulder with Han Fei. Compared to Han Fei, Zhang Liang, who possessed internal energy, was much stronger. Together, they moved the boulder two meters away.

Aside from a sunken pit, everything beneath the boulder was normal; there was no secret passage entrance or exit as one might have imagined.

Zi Nu suddenly drew her sword and cleaved the boulder, which was as big as a doorway, into pieces.

Cao Ze went over to check, but there was nothing hidden inside the boulder.

He couldn't help but look at the surface of the blood pool, which was only about five zhang in diameter. If there was anywhere that could hide the treasures of the Baiyue people, he guessed that the bottom of the pool might be a possibility.

Should we dive down and take a look?

Cao Ze stared at the calm, dark red pool of blood, and a chill ran down his spine.

He turned to Mo Yu Qilin and asked, "You said that the assassins of the Hundred Birds often put the blood of the wild beasts and people they kill into this blood pool, so it was always red before?"

Mo Yuqilin's pretty face was hidden under the hood of her black clothes, making it impossible to see her expression. Her tone was still childish as she said indifferently, "I don't know."

Cao Ze felt a little regretful that he hadn't brought Yingge along, as she, as the leader of all the birds, probably knew more.

Zhang Liang walked over quickly.

"Tang Qi, the eldest brother, sent someone to report that a city guard is rushing towards the Ancestral Mountain."

No one was surprised. The Hundred Birds Killer, Ji Wuye's weapon, was wiped out overnight. It was impossible that no news had been received after a whole night.

Cao Ze pondered for a moment and said, "Let's leave first."

The Baiyue treasure has now made some progress, and it is suspected to be related to the Blood Pool of Ghost Mountain.

This is a good opportunity to ask Yingge, and hopefully get some more information from the night.

After the group descended the mountain and rode away on horseback, not long after, two figures, one in black and one in white, ascended Ghost Mountain one after the other.

Bai Feng quickly went to the village to search, and when she saw the empty wells and prisons, she felt a bit complicated.

He was also imprisoned there back then, next to a red owl.

Bai Feng leaped to a high place and looked around, but saw no one.

The wind whistled past Bai Feng's ears. Mo Ya crossed his arms and said gravely, "Everyone is dead."

The assassins at Ghost Mountain Blood Pool are all reserve assassins for the Hundred Birds Assassin Gang. Whenever the Hundred Birds Assassin Gang suffers losses, they come here to select replacements.

Just like when he rescued Bai Feng from here back then.

"How did you die?"

Bai Feng's expression was indifferent, showing a lack of concern.

He always believed that these guys who captured teenagers and trained them to be killers deserved to die.

"Many were struck by lightning, and some were killed by swords, bows, and crossbows."

Mo Ya spoke while pondering.

For many years, the night has lingered over South Korea, and there has never been a master who can use lightning.

"Outsiders?" Bai Feng asked.

"I don't know. We'll go back and report to the general. We'll leave the city guards to handle things here."

Two bird feathers, one black and one white, slowly fell from the tree, and the white phoenix and the black crow disappeared at the same time.

Both of them were among the fastest in the world, and they arrived at the General's Mansion in just over half an hour.

After hearing Mo Ya's report, Ji Wuye flew into a rage and roared at Mo Ya, "Who is it?! This general will kill him!"

Mo Ya, already used to Ji Wuye's unpredictable temper, said, "He is a master who uses the power of lightning."

Ji Wuye paused slightly, then asked solemnly, "The Yin-Yang School? The Mohist School? The Daoist School?"

As far as he knew, the only sects in the world capable of using thunder magic were the Mohist school's Thunder God Hammer, and the Taoist and Yin-Yang schools' thunder magic.

Mo Ya replied, "This subordinate does not know."

Ji Wuye took a deep breath, his heart bleeding.

He suppressed his heartache and asked, "What about the Blood Pool of Ghost Mountain?"

Mo Ya's heart stirred slightly. "The blood pool is still the same as before, except that a huge rock next to the blood pool has been split apart by someone's sword energy."

"Is that so?" Ji Wuye's eyes narrowed slightly, a glint of light flashing in them. He said, "Go and send a letter to the Marquis, telling him about the Blood Pool at Ghost Mountain."

He didn't know much about the Ghost Mountain Blood Pool; everything was done by Bai Yifei. But he was certain that there were some unknown secrets inside.
