RETURN OF THE RULER

113. Massacres.

Loud cries filled the mouth of the cave as the illusionary seal shattered into pieces like shards of glass.

"Uncle Feng... Do you know them?" While pointing towards the rock cliffs that have been blurred.

"Young Master.they were part of the pirate group, their territory was the entire river of the ming alley ranging from the lei hong strait to the blue sea city of Jiang empire. Their group was led by captain Dai Lun who was already at the level of the earth ahir stage. This group is also referred to as demon pirates or river lords of ming gangs" Hang Feng said with concern.

"Is this group protecting him." Yang Xuan asked for pleasantries since he actually already knew who the group was.

"True Young Master, this group is protected by the eastern pillar General" the other replied with anxious expectation. Because they know how strong the group is.

"Prepare yourself, take the ship to the rock cliff to evacuate if there are prisoners." Yang Xuan continued to give instructions to the village elders as well as paying attention to the motions on the surface of the cave that were so wide.

"Young Master... Did they not see us..?" hang Feng asked curiously because he thought it was very awkward.

"Really uncle... They are the kind of killing insects at night, if it is daytime like this their eyesight is very bad" Yang Xuan said with a loud laugh then missed out from behind the illusion seal.

"Do you understand what the young master said? I can't believe that everyone in the mouth of the cave has poor eyesight. How could they not see us!" asked the village chief in disbelief over Yang Xuan's words.

"Not mind the elders, just think of them as insects as Young Master said. But it's funny to also see the group floundering while cursing crap out of confusion as to who destroyed the place" Hang Feng replied with a laugh. They watched Yang Xuan flick his hands and everyone who was at the mouth of the cave just died.

"Do you still remember a great cultivator being able to kill like Young Master Yang did?" Asked One of the oldest elders among the hundreds of village elders.

"Yes, I still remember it, according to the story in the generations, that great cultivator married a girl from our village and that girl became the goddess of the fire phoenix" said Ming Kun the village chief. He tried to recall the hereditary story of the Ming village ancestor.

"Now you know, why can't they see us?" said the old grandfather trying to remind the village elders.

"High-level illusory seal" Ming Kun chirped stunned.

"It's exactly what you said the elder" Hang Feng said confirming the village chief's words. Because after all there were still amongst them beginner level cultivators.

As they were engrossed in nostalgia Baihu appeared in the mouth of the cave and called out to all of them.

It seemed like the band of robbers were expanding the stone passage so that large ships could be put into the cave passage to a depth of a hundred meters. There are even roads on the right and left side of the hallway along with rooms that are deliberately dug again for shelter.

There were already nearly hundreds of people who were slaughtered by Baihu along with other beasts to a depth of a hundred meters, as the group of pirates were engrossed in repairing their ships. Even some of them just died without them knowing what the cause was.

Yang Xuan only walked leisurely and lazily dealing with the group, as their strength was only at the master and grand master level. He was just making sure the group was cooperating with the demons or not, because the aura of death was obvious in the depths of the cave.

After a hundred meters they traced the cave passage and killed everyone they met, there were now many passageways and there was no more water in the next hallway.

"Baihu, you think in the depths of this cave there are still many insects or not!" Yang Xuan was curious as the deeper they entered the death aura cave also grew more obvious.

"Given these ships, I'm sure there must be a lot of ants hiding in the pit and there's no chance that the ants have castles in the depths of the ground" baihu replied while stepping on some people who tried to put up resistance but their resistance was meaningless in the presence of the boar.

"Then bring out your brother who has a keen sense of smell, command them to find where the pirate group is hiding. Have them go down every aisle, we don't know, is there a shortcut from somewhere else to escape?" yang Xuan's orders to Baihu. Because there are so many intersections at a depth of two hundred meters.

Baihu continued to slaughter the group of pirates that he found had even reached two hundreds of people to a depth of two hundred meters. Not to mention the other beasts that had killed the unknown number.

Meanwhile, the elders of Ming village were busy taking out the ships from the cave passage. They also took whatever they found.

"Elder, where did this storage ring come from! Why is it strewn in this cave hallway just like that?" hang Feng asked while picking up anything he found useful.

"We didn't find any bodies here, but blood was everywhere. I'm sure this must have been the beast? Answer the oldest elder. "

"You don't have to ask where the ring fell from, didn't you say our Young Master took the treasure" said the village chief very excitedly and laughed out loud.

"Have you ever dreamed we'd pick up a treasure like this? Even to find fish only we need a long struggle and sometimes also have to bet lives? greet the others while laughing out loud. Because they were also troubled to get the ship out of the hundred meters because it occasionally got stuck on the ground.

Elsewhere, Yang Xuan sent a telepathic voice to Baihu in order to summon all the beasts to regroup. Because he had arrived at a depth of three hundred meters and according to him there was no shortcut in the cave.

After getting the order, Baihu called all his brothers back, the beasts returned one by one from the passageway they were traversing. Baihu led them into the same hallway because Yang Xuan seemed to have found something.

At a depth of three hundred meters, Yang Xuan saw a stone door at the end of the passageway, Dozens of heavily armed men guarding the stone door preparedly. Yang Xuan instantly sealed the passageway then killed all those guards and removed his storage ring and simply placed it on the ground.

Yang Xuan inspected the stone door first and it turned out to have been sealed and there was also a low-level killing formation. He instantly smashed the stone door with a single instant hit dozens of spears as well as arrows suddenly missed towards him. He immediately jumped up to the ceiling of the cave passage to dodge the incoming attack, then he missed at high speed towards the center of the seal and the killing formation then destroyed it.

Hundreds of people had already been killed, stone doors had already been destroyed, seal centers and formations had been destroyed but not a single person had any help coming from the depths of the cave making Yang Xuan astonished.

"Did the higher-ups of this group of pirates not consider their subordinates important?" yang Xuan muttered then punched the last stone door..

A powerful explosion resounded as Yang Xuan's punch struck the stone door, he was momentarily stunned after the stone door shattered and it turned out that the end of the passage was as wide as a field. He sealed the end of the passageway and sent a message to Baihu. He also informed Baihu that the end of the passageway had been sealed.

Yang Xuan saw hundreds of prisoners standing up and lined up neatly with hands and feet in chains. The prisoners were facing two altars in the middle of the room as if waiting for their turn to be beheaded.

"How could hundreds of people not be able to hold back just a boy" Shouted a middle-aged man with black teeth licking his long hair dangling down and his clothes were already in patches everywhere.

"You're Captain Dai Lun?" Yang Xuan's voice boomed then burst into laughter after seeing how ugly Dai Lun's face was.

Yang Xuan did not expect just a group of pirates to be but their strength was almost equivalent to that of a large sect. Moreover, having two leaders at once was already quite frightening, but he thought it was natural because their strength came from demons.

"Haha... True what you said young man, I am Dai Lun the ruler of the river gang ming. Anyone who visits my territory will be beheaded on this altar" cried Dai Lun laughing so loudly that his large stomach was shaken.

Dai Lun was actually startled and her heart trembled slightly, she raised her vigilance while paying attention to Yang Xuan's movements, she was astonished at once enraged because Yang Xuan had managed to find her. he knew the guest knocking on the door of his residence was not a careless guest.

"Your face looks more like the master of the bathroom than the ruler of the river gang ming" led Yang Xuan then burst into laughter.

"Dai Sun's... Catch that bastard and do not underestimate the enemy who can find this place" cried Dai Lun angrily.

Soon Dai Sun surrounded Yang Xuan with dozens of people. They instantly took out their respective weapons then charged fiercely.

"Are you sure you can kill me?" Yang Xuan asked as he dodged the weapons coming from various directions.

"Of course, you're alone and even I'm enough to kill you" replied Dai Sun furious that no one had dared to speak to him like that.

"Really..how do small insects catch me! try doing.....?" challenge Yang Xuan because she wants to play around with the group

They tried to capture Yang Xuan alive, but to no avail. Then they tried to kill him with various skills and middle-level moves but still in vain. Yang Xuan was so agile that jumping around and over like a squirrel in a branch of trees overwhelmed the group itself.

"How can your group be so scared! Even to touch my clothes you can't afford!" yang Xuan said then laughed out loud.

"Basar badjingan. form formation we must catch him and then step on his mouth" shouted Dai Sun angrily.

Yang Xuan continued to dodge the attacks that came at him without replying to him, but occasionally allowed himself to be hit by weapons, That was all he did just to avoid an explosion. he was afraid that prisoners would die if they were hit by the impact of his fight.

Yang Xuan grumbled because Baihu was a little longer.he pretended to be exhausted and frightened after almost everything in the room had ganged on him.

"I give up" Yang Xuan said as he raised his hand.

"I finally understand, why the pirates of the river ming gang prefer to rob the ship that transports humans, it turns out only a mere disguise as pirates, they only look for blood sacrifice. Do they want to rebel this kingdom as a mere guise in order to kill a human and take his blood?" yang Xuan's mind was being herded up onto the altar.

The moment the village elders arrived, they could only watch and did not dare to help, they saw that Yang Xuan's legs and hands were already in chains and herded towards the altar.

"Chairman... What do we do?" hang Feng asked in fear when he saw Yang Xuan being led up the altar.

"Just calm down, elder, I'm sure Young Master has already considered all his plans, after all there are still many boar brothers who will help the young master" the village chief replied in response to all their anxieties.

In the middle of the cave room, a black and silver altar was already floating, appearing dozens of elders surrounding it and ready to decapitate the first person, he said, However, Dai Lun stopped them so that Yang Xuan would be the first to be beheaded there.

The bodies of the elders shuddered and were frightened when they saw Yang Xuan lying down on the black altar, they wanted to quickly leave from there but Baihu suddenly appeared.

"You take it easy, there's no need to fear, the long machete will be crushed when it hits the young master's neck" Baihu said as he watched the hundreds of prisoners waiting their turn to be beheaded after Yang Xuan.

"Young people.... Too bad you're going to die today, you shouldn't have to deal with me, if you're patient and not greedy with fifty million gold coins, surely your future is brilliant?" Said Dai Lun while licking the end of the cleaver in his hand.

Dai Lun lifted the cleaver in her hand, then took a position to cut off Yang Xuan's neck.

Trunks

BOOMING

Suddenly a loud explosion occurred, the people who were around the altar were sent flying in various directions and their bodies crumbled as they crashed into the wall of the cave. However, in contrast to Dai Lun, he sent Yang Xuan into the sealing ring of the continent.

Seeing that the incident Dai Sun was stunned for a moment, he did not expect that Yang Xuan's words were not mere bragging.

"Capture and kill the bastard" Dai Sun's orders were furious after seeing everyone around the altar dead and also not finding Dai Lun's whereabouts.

Instantly hundreds of weapons missed Yang Xuan, the sound of clanking like iron and sparks rang out loud as the hundreds of weapons collided with the defensive shield Yang Xuan had set up. He also slowly headed towards the entrance of the chamber to unseal the previously installed one.

Chaos was really going on inside the room, when Baihu entered and took out dozens of other beasts. Loud screams accompanied by small explosions continued to rumble. Some of the beasts were ordered by Baihu to secure the prisoners and some attacked the group of pirates.

Yang Xuan also instantly incapacitated Dai Sun without a fight, as it seemed like the old man was going to do something after his group was slaughtered by the savage beast. Yang Xuan wanted to capture the ten sea ghosts and ten island ghosts and did not want to kill him now before finding them all.

"It turns out that ten sea ghosts are not in this group, but Dai Lun and Dai Sun are two of them. Are the ten ghosts of the island also different" muttered Yang Xuan wondering.
