Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 902 – Nightingale

Some people said that out of all the mountains of the Da Xi Empire, the Swallow Mountain was the most unfathomable one. There was everything that could be seen in this world, including a small desert and a few snowy peaks. Legend has it that snow monsters live on the snowy peaks, but they don’t go down the mountain to hurt people. If someone accidentally trespassed into their territory, they would tear someone into two pieces and hang them up like salted fish, leaving them to eat when there was no food.

An Zheng had been to Swallow Mountain when he was in Ming Fa Si, and at that time, an extremely vicious evil person escaped here after committing heinous acts, and waited for the Ming Fa Si’s limelight to disappear before coming out again. He just did not expect that the people in Ming Fa Si who were handling the cases would be so tenacious that they would not stop until they were dead.

The people chasing him had died at least three times, but they hadn’t stopped at all. Finally, this case fell into An Zheng’s hands. An Zheng left the Jinling and went on a solo journey to Yan Dashan to hunt down Da Qu.

Finding a person in the middle of the mountain range was easier said than done. However, An Zheng used an unconventional method to find him. In the end, this great bandit escaped into a cave at Swallow Mountain. An Zheng directly buried him inside a mountain.

The Heavenly Thunder of Nine Suns split a mountain.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, An Zheng looked at the strangely shaped mountain in the distance and lamented. The mountain had been destroyed by him in one move. The mountain had collapsed, and Big Kou had been buried alive in the cave. The treasure that Big Kou had stolen from the Jia family in the Central Plains was also buried in the mountain.

Now that the Zhou Family had chosen to walk this path, it was as if they had made some sort of secret arrangement and An Zheng would walk along the path that they had once walked on.

An Zheng remembered that not far from the mountain was a small mountain village. They know very little about the outside world, and every day the sun sets. It was growing crops and using spring water to water the few lands in the mountain.

But when An Zheng entered the mountain, he discovered that the small village had disappeared. To be exact, the village was still there, but everyone was gone. An Zheng took a careful look around the mountain village and discovered traces of people having visited here last time, which was at least a month old.

He walked intouse and found that there was still food on the table, but it was rotten and reeking. The dust on the table was already very thick, and a mere touch of a finger would leave a clear mark. The people here had clearly left quite suddenly, and while they were eating, they had all left for some reason.

An Zheng released Heaven’s Eyes and rose tigher place, then continued to search around the village. He did not even miss the cellar of his family. Indeed, he did not see a single living person, nor did he see any dead people. In this small mountain village, there were more than two hundred households, and less than a thousand people. A large part of the family’s dining tables were filled with food, while another portion of the family’s kitchen was filled with burnt firewood.

An Zheng thought about the people of the Zhou family. Could it be that all the villagers were killed by the people of the Zhou family?

It was not impossible, the Zhou family members were already frightened to death, they did not dare to reveal their whereabouts. Perhaps it was because someone in the village had seen them, or perhaps they were simply insane.

Sky Eye continued to fly higher and higher but still did not discover anything. An Zheng circled the village but still did not see a single person. An Zheng released the power of hell from his body. This time, he finally had a sense of it. An Zheng felt a faint aura of death from the northeast, and quickly rushed there.

With An Zheng’s speed, these few dozen kilometers of mountain road were nothing at all. He found the location of the death aura in a forest. The soil there had obviously been moved by someone before, and it was different from the surrounding. An Zheng dug up the soil and saw a few corpses buried under the soil. Judging from his clothes, he should be that mountain village. There were four to five mountain villages within a hundred miles of this place. There were five to six thousand people here, and all of their living customs were the same.

There werotal of five or six corpses, only one woman and an old woman. The bodies were badly scarred, which meant that they had been abused before they died. The old lady’s body was covered in the scars left by the whip. There were at least a few hundred of them densely packed together. She looked to be around seventy years old. To ordinary people, such an age was already extremely fragile. It was impossible for her to withstand the whipping of hundreds of whips. Therefore … Even after she died, the people who beat her did not stop.

An Zheng frowned, his killing intent rising between his brows.

An Zheng placed his Heaven’s Eyes on it again as he searched for traces in the mountain forest. Because the forest was covered in fallen leaves, there were no footprints. An Zheng squatted and found some brown colored bloodstains on the leaves. From the traces of blood on the leaves, An Zheng could determine which direction the blood was dripping from. An Zheng followed the trail of blood and walked deeper into the mountains. After walking another four to five kilometers, a huge cave appeared in front of him.

An Zheng raised his yaksha umbrella, but the few people standing at the entrance of the cave did not see him. There were a few people standing on top of the karst cave. They were holding the Da Xi military’s clairvoyant as they looked around. Farther away, some of the people carried the wild fruit they had picked from the mountains to the karst cave. Those people were tied with ropes, making it extremely difficult to walk on this mountain path. One villager accidentally fell to the ground, the wild fruit in his hands spilling onto the ground. One of the guards lashed out a few times, slapping them until their skin was lacerated and their flesh was lacerated.

However, the mountain villager covered his mouth and did not dare to cry out, because the people who were hit and shouted earlier were all killed. He tightly covered his mouth, not even daring to let out a grunt. Very soon, the corner of his mouth was almost bitten through.

An Zheng’s face turned white, and he clenched his fists.

“You pieces of trash!”

The guard cursed quietly, “You dare to spill His Majesty’s fruit on the ground? Lick it clean now, or I’ll kill you. ”

The mountain villager did not dare to resist and crawled on the ground. He actually bit the wild fruits one by one just like that. Not long after, his mouth was covered with a mixture of fruit juice and mud, making him look exceptionally pathetic.

“Hahahaha …”

The person holding the whip laughed, as if he was extremely pleased: “You all should be happy, our Great Zhou Emperor chose to set up the capital here, and you are my Great Zhou Empire’s first batch of citizens. You people have truly been blessed with several lifetimes, to actually have the qualifications to serve your majesty. ”

An Zheng held up the yaksha umbrella and walked in. In order to capture all of them, An Zheng did not make a move for the time being. He followed the villagers who were carrying the fruits into the cave. The cave was extremely wide, at leasundred meters wide. Many of the villagers were working to make furniture out of chopped wood. Some of the servants had whips in their hands. Whoever was slower would be whipped.

All of the villagers here were men. No one knew where those women had been taken to. Following the group inside, they saw a cave not far away with a fork in the road. Hundreds of old women were washing their clothes with spring water from the cave. Their waists were tied with ropes made of tree bark, and all of them were tied together. No one was able to escape.

An Zheng’s hand that was holding the yaksha parachute became tighter and tighter, and the veins on the back of his hand were exposed.

As they walked in, a few servants gathered around to chat. One of them looked at the mountain villager who was carrying a fruit in his hands and laughed contemptuously, saying to his companions, “When we escaped from Jinling, I thought the world was coming to an end. I always thought that the good days in Jinling would be gone forever. I never thought that we would be able to live like immortals in this deep forest. ”

Another person said, “I think we should expand the scope further. Now, the villagers in the nearby villages have all been captured by us. That’s five to six thousand people. How could these people be enough? At the very least, they would be able to capture tens of thousands of people. Let’s live a good life in the Swallow Mountain, don’t tell me … Those hillbilly girls, though their skin was a little rough, they were strong. The few people the Prime Minister had slept in last night were thrown out of the palace. I picked one up and tortured it thoroughly. That feeling was indescribably wonderful. “It looks pretty good. I’ll stay in my room. When I’m free again, I’ll come over and fuck her!”

The other person said, “You’re lucky to have a good relationship with the steward of the Prime Minister’s Estate. I can’t do it, and haven’t been able to find any good stuff in the past few days. If you’ve had enough of that one in your room, don’t just give it away, give it to me. ”

“Then what’s the deal? I’ll just give it to you.”

A servant said, “Our young master is indeed powerful, he has managed to turn this escape into enjoyment. Young master has become the emperor, we are all ministers … Although no one can see in the wilderness, to be honest, my life is more comfortable than the life in Jinling. ”

An Zheng stood there and listened to what they said, and his eyes turned cold.

At this moment, a man in embroidered clothes walked over quickly. He looked to be around 40 years old. The servants quickly bowed their heads in salute, “We pay our respects to the duke.”

The man grunted in agreement. After walking a few steps, he turned around and asked, “Where is His Majesty?”

“It’s in the Clear Jade Pool.”

A servant answered, “Yesterday, I managed to catch a few girls and they looked pretty good. His Majesty is currently training at the Clear Jade Pool, so I estimate that he won’t be able to come out for at least three to five hours. “How about you wait outside, Master Hou?”

After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man said, “His Majesty has been too reckless. I have to go and advise him. If they continued to capture people like this, it would be a disaster if they were to be found out. “As a duke of the first rank conferred by His Majesty, I have the responsibility to exhort him.”

The servant lowered his head and said, “I think you better not go, Master Hou. Don’t you know the temper of His Majesty? His Majesty wouldn’t come out until he had had enough fun. “At this moment, you went to disturb His Majesty’s interest. I’m afraid …”

The middle-aged man paced back and forth for a few steps before sighing, “You should all restrain yourselves. Our Great Zhou is only a temporary measure. When the population flourishes in the future, they would have to organize an army. If they were to kill their way back, wouldn’t it be better to just sit in the Jinling’s palace? If you were to be chased by the Holy See because you revealed our whereabouts, what kind of consequences would you think?! ”

Those people hurriedly agreed, but their eyes were filled with disapproval.

After the middle-aged man left, one of the servants said, “He’s just an outsider, yet he thinks he’s an outsider. We have followed His Majesty since young, what is he showing off in front of us? “As long as we speak a few words of his in front of His Majesty, then his position as Marquis will be gone in the morning.”

“That’s right. You don’t even know how to make a fool of yourself by trying to curry favor with us.”

An Zheng did not stay any longer and walked towards the cave. After walking about three miles, he actually came out of the cave. That was the scene behind the mountain. This place was truly amazing. Behind them was a basin surrounded by mountains. The scenery inside was very beautiful. Many villagers were cutting down trees inside, as if they wanted to build a house.

Further away was a large banner with four words written on it … The Great Cycle of the Heavenly Kingdom.
