Chapter 156 - 151 Mysterious Forces (1/3)
Who was behind this?
Zhou Heng thought about it, realizing that he indeed had numerous enemies: the Liu Family, Nangong Family, Yue Family, and if one included the Ying Family, each of these forces had the power to obliterate Fengyu City with a wave of their hand!
"You’re thinking too much!" Xiao Huoshui scooped up the pouncing tiger cub, which particularly liked resting against her towering, soft chest and soon fell asleep contentedly in her arms.
"It’s not just Fengyu City, five other small cities suffered the same fate almost simultaneously. All the Martial Artists in the Spirit Gathering Realm were killed, and their hearts were even ripped out."
"The Old Ancestor said this isn’t personal vengeance, but some evil force practicing dark arts!"
Zhou Heng was taken aback for a moment and nodded. If such slaughter was happening in many places simultaneously, it likely wasn’t targeting his family specifically, as that would be too insane and meaningless.
However, what kind of force would commit such brutal acts, taking the hearts of Martial Artists in the Spirit Gathering Realm for what purpose? Even Demon Beasts favored eating the flesh of Martial Artists, not specifically choosing just the heart.
Xiao Yuheng said it was an evil force practicing dark arts, which did seem plausible. Offering hearts and heads as sacrifices had been a practice since ancient times, but in reality, such acts never succeeded in summoning Immortals or Evil Demons!
"To kill those in the Spirit Gathering Realm, a Martial Artist in the Initial Separation Realm could easily do it, but to nearly simultaneously wipe out every Spirit Gathering Realm Martial Artist in a city, that’s not something an Initial Separation Realm could achieve!" Zhou Heng calmed down, his thoughts racing.
"So, this force is very strong!" Xiao Huoshui nodded, "Moreover, the Old Ancestor fears this is just the beginning!"
