Chapter 1059: [765] Blood Stains the Skies (First Release, Seeking Monthly Votes) Chapter 1059: [765] Blood Stains the Skies (First Release, Seeking Monthly Votes) After the people from the Judgment Department Headquarters left.
The members of the Central Continent Judgement Office Department Branch exchanged looks of bewilderment, and someone couldn’t help but glance at the chief in the great red robe sitting at the head of the room.
“Sir, the Headquarters personnel are being too overbearing, not disclosing the mission. We’re responsible for the whole affair of the Central State, and they just have us playing support roles; it’s overwhelmingly distrustful.”
The elder in the great red robe slightly opened his eyes and said slowly, “We do as the Headquarters says. With the current troubles, let’s not bring more upon ourselves.”
It seemed the other wanted to say more but was silenced with a single glare.
“As for Zhao Junshan’s matter, ensure it’s handled properly. As for other missions from the Headquarters… don’t snoop around, or I can’t save you if something goes wrong,” the elder in the great red robe said slowly, standing up and leaving the conference room.
Back in his office.
The elder in the great red robe suddenly paused and said somewhat helplessly, “Mr. Murong has arrived, why not announce your presence?”
Ten years had passed, and Murong Jing’s once handsome face now bore a scar that made him appear fierce and ferocious.
He gave a light smile and said, “The incident was sudden, otherwise I wouldn’t have come to you.”
“Whatever orders you have, Mr. Murong, please feel free to say,” the elder in the great red robe seemed very willing to lower himself.
Seeing his understanding, Murong Jing didn’t say more, “I need you to arrange some men for surveillance.”
“Alright.”
“You’re not going to ask whom I want to watch?” Murong Jing said playfully.
The elder in the great red robe bowed slightly, “Mr. Murong jests. I’ll certainly know what I need to.”
Murong Jing patted his shoulder, “Once this matter is resolved, I will be sure to speak highly of you to the Headquarters.”
After he left.
The expression on the elder in the great red robe’s face gradually darkened as he turned and walked into his secret room.
His finger traced lightly through a basin of bloody water.
Soon, a line of small characters emerged.
[No current whereabouts of the Demon King]
The elder in the great red robe’s face was expressionless as he dispersed the water’s surface.
“Ten years, and this guy… where exactly has he gone!”
Harbor City.
“Where’s Boss Sun?”
“He just took a phone call, went to the front desk to order another bottle of wine, and said to charge it to his account.”
“Boss Sun is too kind!” The people in the room immediately brightened with joy.
The “Boss Sun” they were referring to was Qi Zhonglu, who had assumed a disguise. For some reason, he had felt restless these past two days.
So he did nothing but eat and drink these two days.
Even his contact with Lin Xinorth had been cut off.
Stepping into the side room, his foreboding feeling grew even stronger.
Suddenly.
All the lights in the restaurant went out.
Qi Zhonglu’s heart skipped a beat.
Suddenly his mobile phone vibrated.
He quickly answered it.
“Stay where you are.”
A calm voice came through.
Before Qi Zhonglu could ask anything, a booming sound came from the distance, clearly the noise of confrontation.
“Who are you…”
He whispered.
But the person on the other end didn’t reply and instead said softly, “The Dragon Gate Mountain River incident has caught the attention of the Judgement Office; the boat is ready, Lin Xinorth will meet you. The escape route note is by the window; after you get it, change clothes and leave… Even a Ninth Rank is involved, it seems the folks at the Judgement Office are serious.”
The last sentence seemed like a murmur, but it made Qi Zhonglu’s scalp tingle.
He was only a Fourth Rank…
Clearly marked by a Ninth Rank, his death was certain!
He thanked the person on the phone screen and hurried to the window, where he found a small black pouch hanging. He found the escape route and clothes inside.
He quickly changed and was just about to leave when suddenly, a sound like tearing silk permeated the air.
The abrupt gale blasted into the area, the buildings seemed on the verge of collapse, and Qi Zhonglu’s complexion changed as he left without looking back.
Behind him, a Judge’s furious shout followed: “Stop, don’t run!”
Qi Zhonglu’s face turned ashen white with fear, as he was only Fourth Rank and no match for his opponent. The sound of the air being torn behind him already sent chills down his spine.
However, with a “clang,” the pursuer was forcefully brought to a halt.
When Qi Zhonglu turned to look, he couldn’t find the silhouette of his savior. Instead, a sword light effortlessly pierced through the forehead of the Judge chasing him.
“Bang!”
A corpse was sent flying.
Qi Zhonglu watched, open-mouthed in shock.
“Aren’t you running?”
Suddenly, a voice came from beside him.
Qi Zhonglu shuddered, only then noticing the presence of a mysterious figure wearing a mask at his side. Just looking at the figure’s stature, he felt overwhelmingly compelled to hold his breath.
“Run?” The mysterious masked person turned their head, speaking with apparent interest.
Qi Zhonglu quickly came to his senses, “Senior, please be extremely careful!”
But no sooner had he finished speaking, the entire space began to sound like bursting ice, as countless azure flames surged and enveloped the surroundings.
Qi Zhonglu stood stunned, stammering, “D-Domain!!!”
At least Seventh Rank above!
As for whether Eighth Rank or Ninth Rank… that was not something a mere Fourth Rank weakling like him could discern.
But what he was certain of was that these flickering blue flames in the air could easily oppress him!
Yes, easily!
Yet, what Qi Zhonglu hadn’t expected was that the masked senior beside him showed not the slightest sign of panic.
He plucked a short sword out of thin air.
With a nonchalant step forward.
The next second.
The azure flames in front of him crumbled away instantly!
Even more astonishing!
The entire alleyway trembled and cracked under that single step!
“Court death!”
A furious shout came from the shadow.
An imposing figure then burst forth with a blazing trail of hot airstream, accelerating to Pei Jinye’s front in an instant.
The smell of charred air from the high-speed friction was unmistakable.
As the figure swept past, it lifted large chunks of bricks and stones with its wings that gleamed with blue light.
Yet, such a formidable figure was completely shattered by a simple press of the sword from the mysterious masked person.
“Pfft–”
The Sea Angel from the Judgment Department Headquarters exploded into a mist of blood on the spot.
Qi Zhonglu was dumbstruck.
“If you don’t run now, soon you won’t be able to at all,” Pei Jinye’s voice drifted faintly.
Qi Zhonglu cupped his hands in gratitude and quickly slipped into the alley.
Pei Jinye raised his hand.
Light from his hand was drawn out in a crescent arc.
He slashed toward those unmanned drones in the sky.
Amidst the explosion sounds reminiscent of firecrackers, two Ninth Rank figures rushed towards him, Pei Jinye’s expression unchanged.
He raised the sword, pressing it down horizontally.
A simple maneuver, yet it unleashed a force the Ninth Ranks struggled to counter.
Amidst a resounding “boom,” his figure surged forward, hefting a Ninth Rank Judge by one hand and heading toward the city center.
That night.
The entire Harbor City was turned into a sea of blood.
…
…
Until two in the morning, the citywide search continued.

Almost all eyes in Central State were focused on Harbor City, and even the Federation Headquarters was already informed of the news here.
In reality, the sky stained with the blood of three Ninth Rank was an unacceptable blow to any power.
Moreover, the three deceased Ninth Rank were representative of the Federation’s strongest military force, the Judgment Department!
…
“Check, thoroughly check!”
