Chapter 55: Return to the Sect

After he had nothing to vomit, Monkey finally straightened his back and took the glass Gu Xifeng handed him. He took a sip of water..

"West Wind, the feeling of killing someone is really hard to describe..

The monkey took a few deep breaths and adjusted his breath..

Without waiting for Gu Xifeng to reply, Monkey continued,"Do you think Huang Xin is deliberately torturing us? In less than a month, we have almost turned the entire Yingzhou around.".

The monkey pouted and his face was full of anger..

" He's our master and our commander. Besides, these experiences are very exciting. Do you want to continue living under Huang Xin's guidance?" Gu Xifeng recalled all the things that had happened recently and was rather emotional..

It's good to keep running around, I don't know when the next mission will arrive..

The monkey shrank his neck and thought of Huang Xin's careful teaching, and his heart was cold..

Coincidentally, just as Monkey finished speaking, a carrier pigeon swooped down at an extremely fast speed and landed directly beside them..

The carrier pigeon was pure white without any hair. It was the size of two adult pigeons. Its large wings were full of power and its speed was two or three times faster than ordinary carrier pigeons..

These carrier pigeons are specially bred by the Galaxy Sect to transmit messages and issue missions..

"F * ck, the mission came as soon as it was announced. Even with the speed of this thing, it would take four to five hours to fly here from the Galaxy Sect. Huang Xin, that old fellow, is prepared for this. He really doesn't allow anyone to rest for even a moment..

The monkey grabbed the carrier pigeon, and the pigeon did not struggle..

"Let me see what this mission is..

Monkey gently took off the paper roll on the carrier pigeon's leg, opened it, and the whole person stood there with a strange expression. He did not speak for a long time..

Gu Xifeng waved his hand in front of Monkey's eyes and asked curiously," What are you staring at? What's written in the letter?" Monkey finally reacted and turned the note around to show Gu Xifeng the contents..

Gu Xifeng also looked at the contents of the letter with a puzzled expression. There were only two words on the note----.

The monkey put the carrier pigeon on the ground, and the carrier pigeon saw that the letter had been taken away, and flew away happily, and disappeared in the blink of an eye..

"When soldiers come, they will block them. When water comes, they will cover them.".

We've completed our mission quite well during this period of time. At least Huang Xin won't punish us..

Gu Xifeng patted Monkey's shoulder gently and said calmly..

"I hope so.

The monkey is still worried..

At this time, the sky was already dawn. The two of them arrived at the City Lord's Mansion of Xiaofeng City. After taking back the city, the City Lord's Mansion naturally became a temporary command center, where Li Jihai was stationed..

Seeing that the visitors were Gu Xifeng and Monkey, Deputy General Li went to the courtyard and shook hands with them warmly, forming a sharp contrast with his previous attitude..

" Young heroes, your contribution to the successful destruction of the city and the bandits is indispensable. I will definitely record your achievements in the battle report and submit it to His Majesty. At that time, His Majesty will definitely reward you!" Li Jihai patted his chest and promised..

He was also very happy. He could naturally get promoted and rich as a commander in chief for successfully taking back Xiaofeng City..

"General Li, the two of us are here to bid farewell. We can't be of much help in dealing with the aftermath of Xiaofeng City. The sect has sent another letter ordering us to return. We're heading back to the Galaxy Sect immediately..

Gu Xifeng said gently..

" Are you in such a hurry?" Li Jihai stroked his beard and frowned. Just as he was about to continue speaking, an armored soldier rushed into the gate of the City Lord's Mansion and ran to Li Jihai to bow..

"Report! The casualties in the city have been preliminarily counted..

"A man has a message in his hand..

" Read and listen to me!" Li Jihai's good mood disappeared at this moment, and his expression became solemn..

" Yes!" The soldier quickly opened the intelligence and read out the information loudly..

"In this campaign against the bandits, 235 of our soldiers died, 182 were seriously injured, 1,146 bandits were killed, and 34 were captured, including the enemy leaders..

After reading this, Li Jihai was still calm. The number of casualties was within his acceptable range. Swords had no eyes. Unless the enemy was too weak, he had never heard of a situation where no casualties were caused in a battle under normal circumstances..

"Xiaofeng City suffered heavy casualties. More than half of the 60,000 people died in the city. The exact number is still being counted..

Li Jihai stepped forward and grabbed the information from Jia Shi's hand. He looked at it carefully in disbelief, as if the numbers on the information could change after he finished reading it..

Li Jihai threw the information to the ground with a bang..

" This bunch of animals!" Li Jihai's eyes were about to burst into flames at this moment..

" Guards!" Immediately, a few bodyguards stepped forward..

" Pass down my orders. Before you escort them to the capital, torture the captured bandits severely. Bring me the cruelest torture tools. Don't kill them. It's not that easy to die. I have to report to Your Majesty that I will definitely kill these bastards!" Li Jihai ordered angrily. The few of them followed the order and left..

Li Jihai calmed down a little and gestured for the soldier who read the information to step back. He turned to look at Gu Xifeng and the other two..

"Young heroes, I'm sorry for my rudeness. Damn it, these bandits are too inhuman. In just a few days, tens of thousands of people were killed in the city. This is really a heinous crime.

When Li Jihai said this, he still gritted his teeth..

:.

"General Li, it is indeed the blessing of the people that you care about them. General, you still have to act calmly. The aftermath of Xiaofeng City still needs to be decided by the general.".

"Gu Xifeng came forward to advise.

"Of course. Do you really want to leave? What will we do when His Majesty's reward comes down?""We will leave immediately. If the Taichu Imperial Court really has a reward, please donate it to the people of Xiaofeng City for us.".

Although Li Jihai was unhappy with Gu Xifeng's behavior of not calling him His Majesty, Galaxy Sect had its own system in the Taichu Dynasty after all, and Gu Xifeng was a meritorious minister. He really did not need to pursue such a problem..

"Young Xia, you are indeed kind..

Li Jihai cupped his hands and praised.

" Men, prepare the best warhorses for you two and send you out of the city!" Soon, two armored soldiers brought four warhorses and handed the bridles of two of the more handsome horses to Gu Xifeng and the others..

"I need to deal with the affairs of the whole city here. I really can't leave. I'm sorry I can't see you off..

Li Jihai apologized..

After bidding farewell to Li Jihai, the four of them mounted their warhorses and galloped towards the city gate. At this time, almost every household in the city hung white lanterns and mourning flags. The whole city was shrouded in white, which made it seem especially desolate..

However, Gu Xifeng also noticed that some families did not hang up their cards and did not make any movements. He suspected that these families had already been wiped out by the bandits. Thinking of this, the sadness in his heart intensified..

Three days later, in the Seven Kills Hall of Galaxy Sect, Huang Xin stared at the two disciples in front of him, who were all worn out, smiling silently..

after a long while.

"Master, why did you call us back?.

The monkey was frightened by Huang Xin and said,.

"How does it feel to kill people? I read that the two of you killed hundreds of pirates. How is it? Is it satisfying?.

Huang Xin's smile was thicker, and his tone was playful..

"It doesn't feel good. One life after another has been lost in my hands, and scarlet blood has been spilled on my body. I always have a feeling of uneasiness lingering in my heart. It won't dissipate for a long time..

Gu Xifeng answered truthfully..

"Of course not. I almost spat out my guts. It's fun. It's not like I'm a pervert. What addiction is killing?.

Monkey also said, thinking of the bloody scene, his stomach began to feel uncomfortable again..

"Not bad. Let me tell you, our identities are here. Killing is a compulsory course in the Seven Kills Camp..

However, killing is really addictive. You may not have felt it strongly just now. When killing, the devil in your heart will be lured out. If you are controlled by the pleasure of killing, this person will become a walking corpse..

Huang Xin put away his smile and said seriously. Gu West Wind and Monkey had almost never seen Huang Xin have such an expression before. They were both shocked and remembered what Huang Xin said..

"Just pay attention to something. I've observed that the two of you shouldn't be addicted to killing, but you have to be careful..

"The disciples follow the teacher's instructions..

The West Wind and Monkey bowed to Huang Xin..

" Yo, you two sinners have learned to respect your teacher after leaving for a few days? Not bad, not bad..

Huang Xin touched his chin and smiled again..

"Master, you called us back just to remind us? You can write us about this..

"asked the monkey doubtfully.

"Is your master that bored? The reason why I called you back this time is because you have accumulated a lot of sect contribution points from doing missions. I think you two should go to the treasury to exchange for a weapon, lest you always take a standard weapon and lower my prestige..

"And you've been out for almost a month, haven't you missed me?""Yes, of course, we miss you almost every day during this period of time.".

The monkey reacted quickly and immediately smiled..

" Then you didn't bring any gifts back for me. The two of you have traveled all over Yingzhou. You didn't even bring a local specialty for me?" Huang Xin's expression changed very quickly. He immediately put on a stern face..

" This…this…" Monkey was a little at a loss and stood rooted to the ground awkwardly..

"Humph, you're not sincere, but since you two want to honor me, I won't refuse. How about this, you give me half of the sect contribution points you obtained from completing the mission. How about that?.

And then the devil's smile..

Without waiting for the two of them to reply, Huang Xin left gracefully. As he walked, he said," Look at your dirty appearance. Let's not go today. Rest for a while. When do you wake up tomorrow and come to Seven Kills Hall to find me? Then we can go to the treasury.".

Seeing that Huang Xin had already walked away, Gu West Wind and Monkey spoke at the same time,"Are we being blackmailed?".

After hearing Gu Xifeng's words, Monkey finally realized something. He jumped up excitedly as if his tail had been stepped on..

" Huang Xin, that b * stard. He still cares about our little hard work. Is he human? I was a little touched by his words just now. I'm still too naive!" Monkey covered his face with one hand and pretended to cry. Gu Xifeng was amused by his funny appearance..

After such a fuss, the two people's bad mood was swept away and they walked out of the haze of mass killings..
