Chapter 279
“In the past few days, I have been searching everywhere in the castle and everywhere that is outside the castle of Raging Fire’s control. However, nothing has been found,” Xu Qingshu reported.
“I don’t blame you, we have already found 7 of them. It is already a great achievement, so we are not that worried about the rest of the candidates…” Ji Qing was facing the other side while talking to Xu Qingshu. She was still shaking her red wine glass and suddenly changed the topic, “Oh right, do you know a person called Yuan Hongxue?”
“Are you talking about the current castellan of the castle of Raging Fire?” Xu Qingshu asked. She was also confused about how Lei Ming suddenly died overnight.
“I mean the old man who was working in the barrack a few days ago. Please sit my little Qing Qing, don’t just stand there,” When she turned around there were two glasses of wins in her hands.
“Yes. There was an old man called Yuan Hongxue working in the barrack a few days ago,” Xu Qingshu knew that this woman knew everything that happened inside the castle, so she didn’t lie. Besides, she was not familiar with the old man, so she just told her what she knew.
“The old man was recommended by the people who work at the entrance. The old man also brought a kid with him, originally we thought that the old man just wanted a job. But…” Xu Qingshu explained everything that happened during the night of the attack.
Ji Qing was tasting the wine while smiling at Xu Qingshu, “I have asked the sketch artist to draw the sketch of the old man, and asked our spies who came back from the castle of Raging Fire to see the sketch. They said that they are the same person,” She said it after Xu Qingshu finished reporting.
“Castellan, I didn’t…” Xu Qingshu quickly stood up and said. She finally knew that this was the real reason why Ji Qing wanted to talk to her.
……
Three days later, in a small hill region near the northeast edge of the yellow mountain area.
A group of 30 people, who dressed in rags, ran out of the mist. Probably because of hunger and exhaustion or maybe they thought that they got rid of the monsters that were chasing them, when they just ran out of the mist, many people fell to the ground while panting heavily.
However, just when they thought that they had escaped from danger, a group of imposing white-dressed women surrounded them. All the refugees screamed in panic and crawled together. They had no more energy to run, all they could do was to shout “we don’t have any food, we don’t have any food, please don’t eat us, please don’t eat us…”
But before the women did anything to them, another group of fully armed red-cloaked men roared towards them. The leader of the red-cloaked group was holding a fire torch high and shouting, “Hey! Women from the castle of Snowstorm, our grandpa Yuan has said that as long as you surrender yourself to us, not only will you receive double the food supply, but you will also receive a cultivation method. This is a great deal, think about it!”
“Sisters, don’t be fooled, there is no one good at the castle of Raging Fire, they are all liars. Get ready for the fight!” the leader of the white-dressed group knitted her brows and shouted.
The red-cloaked man was furious, “stupid women! Brothers, listen up! Grandpa said that capturing them alive will receive the level one award, even if they are dead, it will be counted as half level! Our rewards are just in front of us, CHARGE!”
The fierce fight broke out all of sudden, the powerful ice and fire energy almost destroyed the tip of the hill…
After 30 minutes, the red-cloaked team who had learned the level-one cultivation method finally gained the upper hand of the battle…
……
Castle of Snowstorm, inner castle.
A woman with a perfect beauty stood coldly inside the room. Opposite her, Castellan Ji Qing had replaced her seductive expression with a stern look, “….Senior ice messenger, if we don’t do anything, the castle will become empty in 7 days…”
