As Mu Chen walked towards the area closer to the original Hong Family mansion, the atmosphere became more chilling and depressing.
There were obviously few shops and pedestrians around. Instead, there were some figures wearing gray-blue robes with arrogant expressions and embroidered ice patterns on their chests patrolling around.
Finally, a complex of mansion buildings that covered an extremely large area but seemed dilapidated at the moment appeared in front of him.
The vermilion door has long been shattered, and only half of the Hong Family plaque that once symbolized glory is left hanging crookedly, covered with sword marks and dried blood.
Within the high wall, broken walls and charred beams can be seen faintly, all of which tell the story of the brutal fighting a few months ago.
There was still a faint smell of blood in the air.
Damn! It's really gone!
Although he had been mentally prepared, Mu Chen's heart suddenly sank when he saw this miserable scene with his own eyes, and an uncontrollable anger rushed straight to the top door!
Jiang Donghua trusted him and entrusted him with such an important entrustment, but he came late!
Hong Family, actually suffered such a disaster!
But the shopkeeper's words echoed in his mind.
"You must die, and you must run away!"
Since there are escapees, it means there are survivors!
Hong Ling, maybe there is hope!
"Got to figure it out!"
Mu Chen's eyes flashed coldly, and he already had a decision in his heart.
Since secret investigation is too risky and inefficient, it's better to just start a fight!
Muddle this stagnant water and force out those who can take charge!
He stopped covering up and walked straight towards the dilapidated Hong Family gate.
At the door, several Xuan Ming Sect disciples were leaning there lazily, looking contemptuously at the pedestrians who occasionally passed by but did not dare to approach.
As the disciples of Northern Region's tyrant Xuan Ming Sect, they are used to running rampant and don't pay attention to people from small forces at all.
Seeing the unfamiliar young man Mu Chen walking straight towards him, one of the leading disciples, whose strength was about Five-star Dou Ling, curled his lips impatiently, waved his hand as if to ward off flies, and scolded.
"Hey! That kid, I blinded you!"
"Didn't you see that this is the place under the jurisdiction of the Xuan Ming Sect? Get away! Don't stand in the way of the uncle's work!"
Several Dou Ling disciples with lower strength beside him also burst into laughter, full of teasing and contempt.
"Hahaha, another one with no eyesight!"
"Get out of here, or I'll break your legs!"
However, their laughter and scolding stopped abruptly the next moment!
What greeted them was not the panic and retreat they expected.
Rather, it was an invisible Dou Qi that seemed to be flicked out from Mu Chen's sleeves lightly!
That Dou Qi was condensed to the extreme, and its speed exceeded their reaction limit!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several muffled sounds in succession, like a ripe watermelon being crushed instantly!
The few Xuan Ming Sect disciples who were still laughing couldn't even utter a scream. Their bodies suddenly exploded without warning, turning into several balls of pungent blood mist and minced meat, which splashed on the broken door and the ground!
In an instant, there was dead silence at the door!
Only the strong smell of blood spread quickly!
The next second, a shrill, sharp scream, containing endless terror, erupted from the mouth of a Xuan Ming Sect disciple who was lucky enough not to be affected and had been frightened out of control in the distance, resounding throughout the entire area.
"Enemy attack--!! Hong Family Ruins There is an enemy attack!!!"
This scream, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly broke the dead silence in this area!
Powerful auras immediately erupted from the depths of the Hong Family mansion and the surrounding strongholds. Like a disturbed hornet's nest, countless figures rushed towards the gate with murderous intent mixed with fear and anger!
Mu Chen stood on the same spot, his clothes whiter than snow, spotless. The person who killed several Dou Ling like thunder just now was not him.
He looked at the Xuan Ming Sect people who were surrounding them from all directions with an expressionless face, his eyes were as cold as ice for thousands of years, this was the movement!
He wanted to see how powerful this Xuan Ming Sect was, and he wanted to find out the whereabouts of the survivors of the Hong Family, especially Hong Ling!
"What crazy guy dares to kill my Xuan Ming Sect disciple!"
"Get him!"
"Broken into pieces!"
Angry shouts and breaking winds came and went!
Waves of Dou Qi lights of different colors lit up from all directions, swarming towards Mu Chen at the gate like locusts passing by!
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people had gathered, completely surrounding Mu Chen on three levels inside and three outside!
The ones rushing to the front were two old men with quite strong auras. They were wearing Xuan Ming Sect elder clothes. Their strength had reached the level of Six-star Dou Huang and Seven-star Dou Huang!
With such strength, Northern Region is considered a master, enough to hold the important position of elder in the sect.
When they saw the dazzling pools of flesh and blood at the door and the indifferent and independent Mu Chen, a trace of surprise first flashed in their eyes, but was soon replaced by rage.
After all, with their large numbers and the support of their sect, they would never have thought that someone coming would have the power to overturn the situation.
The elder Seven-star Dou Huang had obviously a hotter temper. He stepped out from the crowd, fixed his sinister gaze on Mu Chen, and shouted sternly.
"Boy! Who are you?"
"How dare you commit murder here and kill my Xuan Ming Sect disciple! Are you tired of living? Tell me! What on earth do you want to do?!"
The voice was full of condescending questions and undisguised murderous intent.
In his opinion, the other party is so young and even a low-star Dou Emperor. To provoke Xuan Ming Sect with some ability is simply asking for death!
The hundreds of the Xuan Ming Sect disciples around him also started making noises, and all kinds of obscene words and threats were heard. They looked at Mu Chen as if they were looking at a dead person.
They never thought that the seemingly gentle young man in front of them would be a terrifying existence that they need to look up to Dou Zong Powerful!
Mu Chen's eyes calmly swept across this group of aggressive Xuan Ming Sect people, and finally fell on the two Dou Emperor elders. He seemed not to hear their questions or the yelling around them.
So, the moment Elder Seven-star Dou Huang finished speaking, Mu Chen moved.
There is no earth-shattering momentum, no dazzling Dou Qi light.
He just raised his right hand seemingly casually, and shook it gently at the two Dou Emperor elders, as well as the Dou Wang who were rushing forward behind them!
"Buzz--!"
An invisible but majestic Soul Force mixed with pure Wood-attribute Battle Qi suddenly descended!
This space of heaven and earth instantly became his domain!
Click! Click!
The angry expressions on the faces of the two Dou Emperor elders who were so majestic just now instantly solidified, replaced by extreme shock and horror!
They felt like they were trapped in an invisible quagmire, and the space around them was completely blocked. No matter how they moved the majestic Dou Qi in their bodies, they couldn't even move a finger!
The terrifying sense of oppression was squeezing from all directions, making their bones groan under the weight!
"This is Power of Space?! Dou Zong! You are Dou Zong strong!!"
The Seven-star Dou Huang elder finally realized something and let out a desperate and sharp roar!
The few Dou Wang behind them, as well as some unlucky disciples further behind, didn't even have a chance to react.
The ground suddenly exploded, and countless tough green vines shot out like poisonous snakes, instantly entangling and tightening them!
"Pfft! Pfft!"
The terrifying power contained in the vines exploded instantly. Those Dou Wang and dozens of disciples didn't even have time to scream, before they were violently strangled and exploded into a bloody mist!
Broken limbs and broken arms mixed with internal organs flying everywhere, the scene was extremely bloody!
Instant kill!
A real flash sale!
In just one encounter, two high-level Dou Emperors were imprisoned and captured by the invisible Power of Spaces. Several Dou Wangs and dozens of elite disciples were killed instantly!
The battlefield that was so noisy just now suddenly fell into a deathly silence!
The arrogance and murderous intent on the faces of the remaining hundreds of the Xuan Ming Sect disciples have long been replaced by boundless fear. They are like ducks being strangled by the neck, with their mouths wide open and their eyes dull as they look at the young man in white who stands in a pool of blood like a god and demon. Their bodies are shaking violently uncontrollably!
Dou Zong!
This guy who looks younger than most of them is actually a legendary Dou Zong strong man!
The huge fear was like an icy tide, instantly flooding everyone's minds!
Mu Chen didn't even look at the frightened ordinary disciples. His eyes fell indifferently on the two Dou Emperor elders who were tightly imprisoned by his Power of Space and looked ashen. He finally spoke, his voice was calm, but with a soul-freezing chill.
"Now, can you answer my question?"
"Hong Family, what happened? Where are the survivors?"
"Especially a woman named Hong Ling, is she alive or dead?"
