Chapter 129: To The City Beyond The Skies
As nights fell, the city became even worst. As if the blood shed in the early morning was just a fraction of the bloodbath that awaited it when the darkness fell.
Howls and cries reverberated around the four corners of the city.
Feng Jiao Xue and Mo Tianze frowned when they had walked out of the underground area. The scent of metallic blood filled the air. It was thick and obvious. Even to the civilians. Needless to say for Feng Jiao Xue who is an assassin familiar with blood and a cultivator whose senses was far more enhanced. Even Mo Tianze, his keen sense of scent felt like he was inhaling blood at the way it covers the air.
"What’s going on?" Mo Tianze asked as even if there is no eyes on him, he feels as if his under the gaze of a dangerous beast based on the aura that covers the city.
"You killed the city lord" Feng Jiao Xue analyzes and immediately understood the situation. "It is more likely that the power houses in this city is competing for who will subdue the others first to have control over the city."
Febg Jiao Xue released Shadow Flitter, a sleek and black-feathered, darting through the smoke-laden sky with purpose.
She conjured a letter and handed it to him. "Go send this to Chen Rong and the others"
"We’re not going to check on Wei Jian?" Mo Tianze asked confused making Feng Jiao Xue shake his head.
The small burd chirped before taking flighf. Clutched in its talons was a letter, light but heavy with meaning. It moved like a blade through the choking air, untouched by the madness beginning to bubble in the city’s underbelly.
It found its targets in a rented inn on the city’s quieter edge, Chen Rong, Lin Feng, Wei Jian, and Xie Lian gathered together, unease written across their faces as distant shouts and tremors echoed through the walls.
The bird perched lightly on the window frame, tapping once with its beak.
