C418 bloody qi

Su Wanyue immediately stopped his horse, his figure was not affected in the slightest, she was still standing on his horse, her eyes coldly looking at the incoming person.

"We pay our respects to the pavilion master!" All of the people that came to welcome him knelt down and said in unison.

"Did you know you were thinking of me when something happened? What have you been doing? " Su Wanyue said to the two people kneeling on the ground with a cold smile.

Hearing Su Wanyue's words, among the two people kneeling on the ground, the older one immediately knelt. With her forehead pressed against the ground, she said to Su Wanyue, "This subordinate deserves to die!"

"You do deserve to die, but not now. When this is over, lead your team members back to the pavilion's Discipline Hall to receive your punishment!" Su Wanyue said to the two people kneeling on the ground with faint anger, her voice was still as cold as ever.

This was the first time this kind of situation had occurred in the 'Baishang' after so many years. If this kind of mistake was placed with other intelligence organizations, it would definitely not be considered a big deal. However, this kind of thing happening in the 'Baishang', and at such a crucial time, it could definitely be considered a big mistake.

"Yes, after this matter is concluded, this subordinate will bring some people back to the pavilion to receive punishment!" The leading person did not plan to find an excuse to speak up, and calmly accepted Su Wanyue's arrangement. This might be the best result for him!

This kind of attitude, that dared to take responsibility for his faults, was deliberately cultivated by Gongsun Zaitian. The entire Listening Rain Pavilion had this kind of atmosphere from top to bottom. A mistake was a mistake. How dare he admit to it! No excuse or excuse would be found.

It was impossible for people to not make a single mistake in their entire lives. Every mistake they made would cause them to improve and grow. However, this did not mean that they had to constantly make mistakes, but rather, they had to avoid making mistakes again. After the mistake was already made, he still had to think of all sorts of excuses to make it. That only proved that the person in question didn't treat the mistake he made as a mistake and didn't even think that he had made it wrong. Instead, he had to do it objectively.

However, it was clear to everyone that, whether it was a subjective error or an objective compulsion, a mistake was a mistake and any excuse would be useless. If he didn't even have the courage to take responsibility, then this person was just a coward.

"Get up! Tell me about the situation! " Su Wanyue did not plan to stay too long on this matter, and spoke to the people who were still kneeling.

The two people who were kneeling stood up, and the one who led the group stepped forward, and reported to Su Wanyue: "I will bring my men to the northeast region of the town where the accident occurred early in the morning. But when we were halfway through the journey, we found a few passers-by who just died not too long ago. Judging from their clothes, they should be the villagers nearby, so according to the time of death, we touched our way back to where we came from.

"Why do you think it's them?" Su Wanyue asked suspiciously. With regards to the person in front of him, Su Wanyue still believed in his ability a little. Although the mistake this time was more serious, it didn't mean that a person's ability would decrease greatly as well.

The leader continued to explain, "If it's normal times, this road is originally a trading road. All the travelling merchants will pass by here, but unfortunately, it's raining today, so the merchants won't choose this road because they are afraid of the goods getting wet and the mud on the road affecting their speed. As a result, when it rains, there will be even less people on this road! "

"Continue!" Su Wanyue replied indifferently. Although it was Su Wanyue's first time in Phoenix Creek Town, with her extraordinary talent in intelligence gathering, she had deliberately taken note of the surrounding topography and geography. Regarding the words of the leader, Su Wanyue had confirmed his analysis.

This was not a large city. There were many small and medium-sized towns within a hundred mile radius. Phoenix Creek Town could be considered as the largest city within a hundred mile radius. Thus, compared to those large cities in the prefectures, there was less trade here. Therefore, on the road connecting the cities and towns, there weren't many people coming and going, not to mention that in such a gloomy and rainy weather, passing business trips were even rarer. It was even like what the leader had said, because of various reasons, no one would choose to travel in the rain.

"According to the time of death of those villagers, they should have left for less than an hour, so we split our troops into two groups to chase them from two different directions. In the end, we found their tracks in the direction of Phoenix Creek Town!" The leader continued.

"How many people are there?" Su Wanyue asked.

"Three people!" The leader replied.

"Only three people? What is there to prove about identity? " Su Wanyue muttered to herself irresolutely before turning her head to ask the person in the lead.

Three people, not too many nor too few. The more you expose your whereabouts, the less you will affect the efficiency of your actions. However, from the numbers of the three of them, it was impossible to tell how strong or weak their opponents were on their own. It was also unclear how strong they were as a whole. The most important thing was that he could not determine if these people were the person that Pavilion Master Gongsun Zedong had mentioned.

"No!" "These people are very careful, we can't tell where they came from!" The leader shook his head and replied.

"Where are those people now? Bring us there! " Su Wanyue said coldly. It seemed that she could only make a decision after personally going to see it! If it really was the mysterious power that Pavilion Master Gongsun Zaitian had mentioned, then she would leave and notify the Pavilion Master. If it wasn't those people, then she would have to find out the identity and background of the other party and confirm that the sudden disappearance of her subordinates had nothing to do with them!

"Yes, hall master!" Those people are resting in the cove over there. I've sent two people to keep an eye on them! The road there is rather bumpy, and is not suitable for horseback riding. The leading man cupped his fists at Su Wanyue and reported to Su Wanyue while pointing at the small mountain in the distance.

"All of you dismount! Abandon your horse and walk! " Su Wanyue said to the person she had brought with him.

"Yes sir!" The people behind him answered in unison.

"Lead the way!" Su Wanyue dismounted from his horse and led the horse towards the small hill.

"Yes sir!" The leader bowed and accepted the orders. Then, he quickly caught up to Su Wanyue, standing by her side, ready to give her directions at any time.

? ?.

Not long after, they arrived at the foot of the mountain and left the horses there. Su Wanyue brought her men and stealthily walked towards the mountain top.

With the leader's explanation, the people they were keeping watch over were at the top of the mountain. On the other side of the mountain valley was where the three mysterious people from unknown origins hid from the rain.

The group of people soon arrived at the top of the mountain. After all, everyone here was a practitioner, so the difficulty of their usual training was much higher than climbing a mountain. At this time, climbing a small mountain was not something these people cared about at all.

When Su Wanyue brought the group to the summit, she suddenly stopped, and frowned. Seeing Su Wanyue at a standstill, the others also stopped in their tracks. They looked at Su Wanyue in puzzlement, not understanding why she had not left.

"Pavilion master?" Why aren't you leaving? " Seeing Su Wanyue stop in her tracks, someone at the side quietly asked, and at the same time, subconsciously took a defensive stance.

"Didn't you notice?" Su Wanyue asked cautiously. Just as she reached the mountain peak, Su Wanyue sensed that something was amiss. As a prudent and cautious woman, she immediately sensed that something was amiss.

"Detect what?" Hearing Su Wanyue's words, everyone took out their weapons one by one. As they looked around vigilantly, their hearts were also filled with doubts and puzzlement. The leader of the group asked.

Aside from Su Wanyue, no one else in the vicinity felt any changes. The rain in the sky, the mountains in the rain, the trees in the mountains, the grass in the trees, had not changed at all, nor did they notice the abnormality that was mentioned by Su Wanyue.

"Smell!" Su Wanyue said indifferently, she took out her blade at the same time as she spoke, and acted as though she was prepared to counterattack, she could only faintly feel that something was wrong, but she did not know what exactly happened, so she was extremely wary of the unknown situation.

"Smell? "What smell?" Everyone was puzzled and whispered. Aside from the faint freshness of the rain and the unique fragrance of the vegetation in the mountain, there was no other odour.

"The smell of blood!" Su Wanyue replied softly. Her tone was still indifferent, but the contents that she expressed caused the hearts of everyone around to go cold.

The smell of blood could be smelled in the wind, because the wind carried the scent of blood in the air. However, in the rain, it was the best way to conceal the smell.

What they didn't know was that Su Wanyue felt very fortunate. The reason she rejoiced was because of her sharp senses towards the smell of blood, and all of this was thanks to Gongsun Ze Tian.

? ?.

It was when Su Wanyue had just joined the Listening Rain Pavilion, when she was still young. One day, Gongsun Ze Tian suddenly called her over and asked her a strange question: "Have you ever seen blood before? Do you know how it smells? "

"Never seen it before! I've also never smelled it before! " Su Wanyue shook her head and replied.

"Then try to familiarize yourself with it, understand it, and be sensitive to its presence under any circumstances!" Gongsun Ztian said indifferently.

"Why?" Su Wanyue asked foolishly.

"Do you want to become stronger?" Gongsun Ze Tian suddenly changed the topic and asked.

"Yes!" Su Wanyue answered without even thinking.

"Then the first thing you must do is to live on! Only those who are alive can become even more powerful! " Gongsun Zaitian nodded and said sincerely.

"All you need to do is improve yourself. Why do you need to get familiar with the smell of blood?" Su Wanyue still could not understand what the two were.

"Because this will become one of your life saving means. When you can smell the blood no matter what, you will have a special life saving method that others do not have. One day, it might even be your life!" Gongsun Ztian said with a smile.

"Yes sir!" Although Su Wanyue still didn't quite understand why she needed to familiarize herself with the smell of blood, since it was a pavilion master's order, she had to work hard to achieve it.

"Remember, use real blood!" Gongsun Zetian added
