Mad Scientist

" blurgh" She suddenly had this urge to vomit.

She vomited on the ground.

The tree was at the center of the house was also burning. It was a very gruesome scene inside the cottage.

She could see bodies lying around the entrance. she didn"t even have the strength to look further.

She gritted her teeth and got up.

" I need to see " Ming Xue mumbled with her clenched fists. Many memories flashed through her mind. They have lived in this place.

She saw family she had lived with burning away just like that.

When she looked up she saw something she couldn"t understand. She had a pale look on her face while her mind was reeling in what she was watching.

****************

" Ahhhh " suddenly scream could be heard. It was a woman"s scream.

There were two ladies looking at the scene with a pale expression especially one with the maid outfit.

" Are you alright?" said the other lady to the lady with the maid outfit.

" Young miss this, who would do something like this," said the maid with a horrified expression. There were too many bodies lying around. She was a mortal so it was very horrifying for him.

" I don"t know but she might know," said Han Bing. She saw Ming Xue starring towards the burning cottage.

" Little girl what happend here," asked Han Bing. Even though it was a ma.s.sacre it wasn"t uncommon there were always people dying every second, especially within the mortals.

She had heard much news like these where people would suddenly disappear and sometimes a cultivator would lose his mind and start a ma.s.sacre mostly morals were victims of these events. Mortals were treated as same as flies no would care about them.

These bodies mostly belonged to the men that Bai Jie had killed. he just broke their neck didn"t even give them a chance to make a sound.

Han Bing saw these people were killed very fast they didn"t even know that they were attacked. She didn"t saw any change in expression of the men lying on the ground except for one.

She got close to him and looked closely.

" Young miss " the maid came close to Han Bing. She was very scared.

" he is marked. " Han Bing looked at the body lying on the ground. He was only one with blood coming from his mouth. His tongue was completely blue. If Bai Jie was here he would have noticed it and it was turning more and more dark as time pa.s.sing.

" Look in their mouth see if you can find a mark of some kind," asked Han Bing. She wanted to know what happend here and who are these people lying around.

" Young Miss other men also have some mark under their tongues," said the Maid in a scary voice. Her legs and hands were shaking checking every person.

Ming Xue didn"t reply she just stood at her place like a petrified statue.

"she might have seen it happen," mumbled Han Bing. " poor girl " thought Han Bing.

" Young Miss they all the men have marks under their tongue. " said the maid. She could still feel the saliva on her hands.

" Miss what are these marks. " asked the maid she was also curious because she had one too on the back neck too. It appeared after she had joined Heavenly pavilion. They imprinted a mark on her but she didn"t know its purpose.

" These people must belong to an underground organization. These marks are to prevent any leak in the information. The person who attacked must have some connection with it. He must have tried to ask questions. But mortals are just expendables for these people. Why is your face is getting pale. " replied Han Bing. She saw the maid"s face was getting paler and paler with every moment.

" Miss I have a similar imprint too would I also," said the maid in a horrified extension.

" Yours is different, its a paralysis imprint someone asks you of something secretive about heavenly pavilion then your body would paralyze. You won"t die, but death imprints used on these people are prohibited on mortals I think they themselves don"t know that they are already marked by someone," explained Han Bing. There are many types of slave imprint. She saw her maid"s expression relax somewhat. These imprints are allowed to give debts or to buy people just like sheep and dogs. While Tracking and paralysis imprint used on mortals working under an organization.

" Did you discover anything else," asked Han Bing.

" No young Miss I didn"t " replied the maid hastily.

Han Bing went closer to Ming Xue to ask if she knows anything. One thing she was sure that this girl couldn"t be the killer. She saw the little girl kept staring at the burning cottage.

" Did you saw who did this. " Then her eyes suddenly saw inside the burning cottage. She felt her throat getting dry. This was a truly terrifying scene. She saw little bodies burning while she saw a woman"s body burning which was trying to cover the children beside the tree. Everyone was dead.

She felt like she was watching a fire demon engulfing everything. The trees branches were like claws engulfing the whole cottage.

But what was most scary part wasn"t burning. It was the bones of the lady that was trying to cover them. They were like transparent like made of ice but even this fire was not able to melt it. This was completely unnatural.

" What kind of beast is it," mumbled Han Bing. This was the first time she saw something like this. It was both beautiful and horrifying.

As the fire was burning more bones could be seen. They were all like made of jade. There were two swords protruding from her. One was pa.s.sing through the ribs while the other near the spine.

" Young miss what happend. " said the maid. She came closer to Han Bing. She also saw this.

" How could a monster was living within mortals. " suddenly said Han Bing while Ming Xue was still in a shock. They both didn"t know what it meant but they that it wasn"t the same as them. She wasn"t a human at least.

" Young Miss get back. " Suddenly Han Bing heard a voice. She saw a lady standing right in front of her with white robes and a dagger around her waist. She had a very athletic build. Han Bing recognized her.

" Su Ling what are you doing here," asked Han Bing confused. " Why is she here. " Han Bing knew Su Ling she was the cold killer of Heavenly pavilion. Her name was enough to terrify anyone in the whole village.

" Young Miss I can"t explain right now but that abomination must be eliminated," said Su Ling with her usual cold tone. She waved her hand and a spear appeared in her hand. She lifts the spear to throw it towards the body to destroy it completely.

" No please don"t " suddenly Ming Xue who had a blank look grabbed Su Ling"s leg begging her to stop.

But Su Ling hardly used any strength and Ming Xue was flying through the air. She was knocked out more than 10 meters away. She rolled on the ground a few times before stopping.

Bang

The spear went straight towards the woman"s body. But when it touched the bones it didn"t Peirce through but rather the body smashed out of the burning cottage. The cottage which was still standing fallen apart because of the force of impact.

The body went flying through the air. The spear ripped off a large chunk of flesh from her rib cage.

" No what the h.e.l.l are you doing," shouted Han Bing as she came out of her stupor. She saw Su Ling kick away the little girl and throwing a spear towards the woman.

She saw Su Ling ignore her and walking towards the body. She quickly followed her.

" How is this possible. " voiced Su Ling in an astonished expression. she saw the spear stuck inside her bones. But there wasn"t even a crack in the bones. She suddenly saw there were words imprinted on her bones. These words felt like running with such speed that she couldn"t even understand what was happening.

" I must acquire these bones," mumbled Su Ling. She felt these bones were too magical she had never seen anything like this. She felt a great power within those bones which seems to surpa.s.s even the whole realm. An intense desire flashed in her eyes.

" Stop it once I get back I will tell sister Claudia " shouted Han Bing again. She heard stories of how she had even killed 7 stage mortal with her 5 stage cultivation. She was one of a kind fighter.

" Young Miss this matter is out of your jurisdiction now " replied Su Ling coldly. She knew not she must acquire these bones she must have to make sure no one knows about these bones. " I must give these bones to the lady Claudia" thought Su Ling. She looked back she saw a maid of the heavenly pavilion.

" You were just at the wrong place at the wrong time," said Su Ling.

Han Bing suddenly saw Su Ling running towards the maid a dagger appeared in her hand and sliced the maid"s neck.

Han Bing also invoked her cultivation.

" Floating steps. " She used her movement technique but Su Ling had already killed the maid. She knew Su Ling was much stronger than her.

" Now only one remains. "said Su Ling. She looked towards the little girl she kicked away. She was going towards her but she suddenly felt an intense fear rising up. In all her career as an a.s.sa.s.sin, she never felt like this.

" You touch a hair on her head and the whole heavenly Pavillion will burn tonight. " suddenly she heard a voice. It was a very raspy voice it was like two people talking from the same mouth. She looked back She saw a person standing in a black cloak. She couldn"t see the face but red eyes were clearly visible from the hood and he was holding a young man on his back. He was standing beside the girl.
