A dark, windy night—the perfect time for murder and arson.
Six groups of evil soul masters crossed Gengxin City's outer wall from six different directions.
Their shadows blended into the night, and no one noticed their tracks.
Although the area between the inner and outer walls consisted of rice paddies, wheat fields, and pastures, with almost no cover and terrain nearly as flat as a plain, it was no challenge for powerful evil soul masters to pass through unnoticed and without leaving a trace.
"Blending into the night" was no exaggeration.
The inner wall was far shorter than the outer wall, but the number of patrolling soldiers had not decreased proportionally. Both their patrol frequency and personnel density far surpassed those of the outer wall, and Soul Saint-level soul masters were even stationed there on patrol.
Although Soul Emperors were not among the very strongest soul masters, their ability to sense all kinds of Soul Power had undergone a qualitative leap. It was possible for them to detect even hidden Soul Douluos and Titled Douluos.
"Cult Leader, what do we do now?" an evil soul master with the cultivation of a Soul Douluo asked.
Blood Jackal Douluo thought for a moment, then revealed a bloodthirsty smile.
"Since this is a show of force, a few more lives make no difference. The night is perfect right now. Even if something happens, they won't notice."
On the city wall, a Soul Saint led a patrol squad as planned, inspecting the area outside the wall.
In an instant, the Soul Saint sensed something. But in the next moment, he saw his own body.
Within five seconds of his head hitting the ground, the entire patrol squad had been slaughtered. Not to mention the corpses—even a single drop of blood had not been left
