Chapter 139 – The Secret of Soul Chaos

“Errr? Do you understand?”

The sudden fury of Qinghan shocked everyone, as they stopped chatting at once. Sainan also stood up confusingly, and asked the question that bewildered them all, “Young lord Qinghan, what happened between you and Wuhen? What did he do to you?”

Although it was no news that Qinghan and Wuhen had long been on bad terms with each other, it was odd for Qinghan to act so dramatically this time. Sainan believed in Qinghan’s personality, and that he wouldn’t use his power to bully his weaker compatriots of the Mars Prefecture.

“Hehe, what did he do to him? He did an incredibly disgusting thing. Do you guys remember last time, when we were under siege by the encirclement of the demons and barbarians? Do you know why Yao Kaka and Man’gan went to Black Dragon Valley? Because that bastard Wuhen planted concealed worms in our young lord’s hair… Those worms served as a tracer. We immediately went to his place to capture him, but only found the normal members of the Xue Family. Wuhen, as well as his two Prince-Realm cultivators have already run away!” Impatiently, Shiqi quickly broke in, as he answered Sainan’s question for his young lord.

“Ahhh…”

Shiqi’s words deeply stirred everyone’s heart. It took several minutes for them to digest this bombshell. They were pondering on the authenticity of this news, as well as the possible consequences.

“Fuck you, Xue Wuhen! You‘re such an asshole! How shameless of you to do such evil things to all of us! I’ll report this to my father, and raze Flying Snow City to the ground!” Feng Zi broke the silence, and cursed bitterly.

“Ohhh, I remember that bastard once invited young lord Qinghan to have a private conversation with him. I bet it was at that time that he planted the worms in Qinghan’s hair. No wonder that the other two races found us so easily! I thought they were using some heaven-defying tracing technique… Oh, I was so wrong! It was all conspired by Xue Wuhen! But… I guess the Xue Family will be removed from the five prominent families after this scandal is made public.” Hua Cao blinked his eyes, as he remembered a series of suspicious, unexplainable things that had happened earlier during the Prefecture War. Now everything was clear!

“Xue Wuhen… he has to die!” Qingcheng was apparently on Qinghan’s side, for she shared the hatred Qinghan had towards his enemy.

“Er, is this real? Did you procure any evidence?” In great shock, Sainan raised her voice, hoping to be reassured by some concrete evidence. This was going to be a big event! It would probably influence the bond that had connected the five families throughout history. The crime of colluding with the other races to harm compatriots of his own prefecture, would definitely raise outcries. She had to behave with extra caution, before she jumped to any conclusion.

“Young lord Qinghan, take out the worms! Let all of them have a good look.” Shisan nodded to Sainan, and asked Qinghan to show the evidence.

Quietly, Qinghan took a jade box from his chest pocket, and opened it, before he displayed the box at the center of the cave ground, for others to observe.

“Errr…” As soon as the boxed was opened, Sainan’s face turned surly. As an experienced cultivator, she had good eyesight, and judgment. The transparent worms were already cut into halves, but she was absolutely certain that these were the worms of the Xue Family. With Hua Cao’s deduction combined, she was fully convinced that Wuhen was actually a traitor!

After some meditation, she gave an order, “Send out all the scouts, and seek Wuhen out! Whoever claims to be the first to find him, we’ll reward him with 1,000 credits!”

Quickly, all the scouts rushed outside, striving to be the first one to obtain the 1,000 credits, with which they would be able to take the position of a small-city leader.

“Son of a bitch! How could this bastard, Wuhen, do such a monstrous thing? I’ll kill him once I run into him!”

“You’re right. On behalf of my family, I declare that we will break off any and all connections we have with the Xue Family! Young lord Qinghan, we will follow the Ye Family instead!”

“The Xue Family is challenging the morality of the Mars Prefecture! They are going against the trend! After this war ends, I suggest that we form a legion to annihilate the Xue Family!”

“…”

Since Wuhen’s evil behavior was made known to all, he, as well as his family, were doomed. He was supposed to be killed, according to the rules set up by the founders of the five prominent families. Actually, he wasn’t only a traitor, but also a criminal, who had plotted to end the lives of the young lords and ladies of the other prominent families. This was no different from stirring up the hornet’s nest, and troubles would come to him sooner or later.

Sizing up the current situation, the less influential families, that once clung to the Xue Family, began to show their willingness to end their cooperative relationship with this evil family. One after another, they swore to capture Xue Wuhen to make their due contribution to the other prominent families.
