Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
When they heard this, Patriarch Sun and everyone else’s expressions changed drastically: “What happened? How did the fire start?”
“I don’t know what happened but the fire started suddenly. The people in the manor are already putting out the fire.” The person said anxiously. “Did you think that it would be so easy to capture me?”
Qi Kang, who was sitting in the corner, looked at them. The light in the dungeon was not bright, but his sinister eyes fell on the Sun family Old Predecessor and he sneered: “It is such a pity that that Sun family has such a visionless Old Predecessor. The family clan’s downfall is imminent.”
If Patriarch Sun and the others were shocked to hear about the fire outside, at this point, when they heard this, an overwhelming fear shot up from the soles of their feet straight into their hearts through to their heads. Their future looked bleak before their eyes.
“You, how did you know we are the Sun family…”
A man whose face was covered asked in a trembling voice. As soon as he had spoken, the Sun family Old Predecessor’s eyes were like daggers staring at him. He was so frightened that he didn’t dare to say anything else.
“Sun Wei, the Peak Master of Soaring Clouds Immortal Sect, as a member of the Sun family clan, has been causing trouble in secret recently. Now that five members of the Sun family are dead, other than the Sun family, who else in Celestial City would dare to enter the Eastern District City Lord’s Manor in the middle of the night?”
Qi Kang looked at them and said: “I didn’t expect it to be the Sun family at first. After all, we gave you a way out to survive. I didn’t expect you would end up taking the road to death. It’s such a pity.”
Patriarch Sun’s lips trembled and he asked: “Did, did your people set the fire?” Qi Kang didn’t speak, he just sat there quietly.
The Sun family Old Predecessor stared at Qi Kang with sinister eyes for a while, then he flicked his sleeves and turned around to walk out: “Keep an eye on him!” As soon as he had spoken, he strode out.
Patriarch Sun and the others looked at each other then after leaving instructions for the guards to stay behind to keep guard, they left quickly to the place where the fire was.
The Sun Manor was brightly lit up in the night due to the light from the fire. However, it was very chaotic with many people running about to put the fire out and sounds of exclamations.
What they didn’t know was where the fire hadn’t illuminated, were several figures staring at the people putting out the fire. When they saw the few people still wearing their night clothes rus.h.i.+ng over, they looked at each other.
“We choose a target each, try to avoid Patriarch Sun and the Sun family Old Predecessor. We will save them till the end.” Du Fan said, his eyes locked onto one of the men in black.
Gray Wolf and the others nodded, then dispersed, quietly following them and waiting for the opportunity to make their move.
“Quickly put out the fire! Quickly put out the fire!”
Because the fire was so big, everyone had to help put out the fire. Some people with water attributes used their attributes to help put out the fire while people with earth attributes also used sand to put out the fire, and some people went to fetch water to put out the fire.
In the midst of the chaos, Gray Wolf quietly grabbed a member of the Sun family who was wearing night clothes. He covered his mouth with one hand as he dragged him to a dark place and silenced him.
Up till his last breath, that man still never saw the face of the person who killed him. His eyes were wide open in fear and his body was stiff and motionless as he lay abandoned on the ground.
On the other side, Du Fan and the others also picked someone each to attack. With their strength it was very easy for them to deal with people like the Sun family. Moreover, they were hiding in the shadows while the other party were out in the open, so it was even easier for them to attack.
After a while, the chaos died down and the fire was finally put out.. But what followed was a shrill scream that pierced through the night..
