CHAPTER 776: 193, MARRY AND KILL_2

The Divine of various sects were also summoned by their followers’ calls, descending their Divine Thought to probe, which is why that majestic and vast will could be felt.

The Divine Thought of a Proving powerhouse was so immense that it could probe across thousands of miles.

At this moment, Lin Yue’s Divine Thought swept across and he immediately located his father and elder brother.

"It’s fine now, my father and elder brother are both still alive."

Lin Yue said calmly, "They are indeed guests at Commander Cao’s place, they must have just arrived, and have only suffered some minor injuries along the way."

After probing with his Divine Thought for a second or two, he withdrew his Divine Thought and said nonchalantly, "Send someone to fetch my father and brother."

"Send someone to fetch them?" Commander Chen was taken aback and asked, "Does Mr. Lin mean to suggest a truce? But we might have to contact Cao Xin first, to see what terms he wants..."

"A truce? After they’ve provoked us to this extent, still talk of a truce?"

Lin Yue gave him a glance and shook his head slightly, "You just need to send a squad to retrieve them, Cao Xin will release them."

Commander Chen was somewhat confused, but still nodded, "Yes."

"By the way," Lin Yue added, "Are there any death row inmates in Yihai City or those who have committed serious crimes?"

"Of course," Commander Chen immediately nodded.

Lin Yue instructed, "Bring me at least twenty people who can speak."

Commander Chen nodded in agreement and hurried off to make arrangements.

Lin Yue, on the other hand, looked towards the north with interest.

"Witch God Sect?"

A smile spread across his lips, "It just so happens that I’ve recently penetrated several of the left-handed paths of the Yanfu World. Although they’re not much for combat at the same level, they do save a lot of Power."

...

Fifteen minutes later.

In the quiet courtyard, Lin Yue looked at the row of kneeling prisoners before him.

"Mr. Lin, these thirty-two are all death row inmates who have committed serious crimes, and they can all still speak. If you need more, I can help you find them," Commander Chen said.

"Hmm, these people are enough."

Lin Yue said offhandedly, then approached the first prisoner, and smilingly said, "Come, repeat after me, ’I am Cao Xin.’"

The prisoner said in a dull voice, "I am Cao Xin."

"Good."

Lin Yue slowly stretched out his hand and tapped the space between the prisoner’s brows.

...

Thousands of miles away from Yihai City lay Feng City.

As the largest stronghold for a warlord in the Southwest, the prosperity of Feng City even surpassed Yihai City.

At that moment, inside the largest mansion in the city.

"Commander, the people have been brought back."

A military officer stood respectfully in front of Commander Cao and said, "They are indeed Lin Yue’s biological father and brother. Should we deal with them?"

"Keep them for now," Commander Cao, a burly figure with a bald head that diminished his military presence, also had a scar on his face, looking quite fierce.

"Those people from the West Continent specifically asked for these two. It seems that those foreigners from the Sun Church want to deal with Lin Yue of Yihai City, probably using his family to threaten him. Letting them fight amongst themselves is not bad, it’s so easy for us to get a large shipment of guns, the more the merrier."

Commander Cao sneered, then asked with concern, "By the way, how is Master Qiu doing?"

"Commander, rest assured, Master Qiu is fine," the officer said, "Being able to deceive Lin Yue and take his father and brother out of the city this time was all thanks to Master Qiu’s unpredictable Five Ghosts Transporting Skill."

"Xiao Zhao, make sure someone takes good care of him,"

Commander Cao instructed, "Master Qiu is the Vice Sect Hierarch of the Witch God Sect. Our development to this stage in the Southwest, the Witch God Sect has contributed a lot."

"Understood," the officer replied, then asked, "Commander, shall we now hand over Lin Yue’s relatives to the people from the West Continent?"

"Wait until the West Continent people complete the supply of our military equipment, then send them over, one hand delivery of people for goods," Commander Cao said, "Ask Master Qiu to help keep an eye on the transaction."

It was at this moment—

"Hmm?"

Commander Cao suddenly saw darkness before his eyes, feeling a bit of a headache, a throbbing at his brow, and couldn’t help rubbing his temples, saying, "Go fetch Doctor Liao for me, why do I start having headaches as soon as the weather changes?"

The officer was stunned, staring blankly at Commander Cao, his eyes widening, "Commander..."

"What is it..."

Commander Cao subconsciously touched his bald head, suddenly realizing that it seemed his head had grown two sizes larger?

Then—

"Boom!"

His head split open like a watermelon with a bomb inside, with red, white, and grey matter all splattering out.

There was nothing left but a headless corpse that continued to bleed.

The officer also froze for a second, and then felt a throbbing pain in his brow, an excruciating headache, and at the next moment, his head also exploded.

...

In Yihai City, within the tranquil courtyard, only Lin Yue’s gentle voice remained, along with the numbed and dull repetition of the prisoners.

"Recite after me, I am Zhang Hai."

"I am Zhang Hai."

"Recite after me, I am Li Zhenghui."

"I am Li Zhenghui."

"Recite after me..."

Commander Chen watched Lin Yue as he made the condemned prisoners repeat his words, saying "I am..." like this, then lightly touched the center of their foreheads, inevitably feeling utterly bewildered.

What did this mean?

But after each prisoner uttered those words and had their brows touched, they would all collapse softly to the ground, then die with blood oozing from their seven orifices.

This eerie scene couldn’t help but send chills down his spine.

"Recite after me, I am Quijos."

"I am Quijos."

After the twenty-third prisoner finished reciting, Lin Yue didn’t place a finger on the other’s heart as he had with the others; instead, he moved his fingertip through the air, ripping open the prisoner’s clothes. Then, with a flick of his finger, he carved two deep, blood-filled characters into the skin of the prisoner’s chest—

"Release"

And then, he touched the center of this prisoner’s forehead, letting him die.

"It’s done."

Lin Yue looked toward Commander Chen and calmly said, "Go and fetch my father and brother."

Commander Chen was taken aback.

...

Chaos had erupted within the Commander Mansion in Feng City.

"They’re... they’re all dead..."

One by one, the military officers collapsed on the ground, staring in panic at the headless corpses with exploded skulls, unable to comprehend what had happened, afraid that their own heads would be the next to burst.

"The Commander is dead... Deputy Officer Zhao is dead... they’re all... all dead!"

"What in the world is happening? I don’t want to die!"

"You all... why aren’t you going to summon Master Qui?"

An officer suddenly snapped back to reality, immediately scrambled to his feet, and started shouting.

Although rumors of Contractors had begun to spread, ordinary Mortals still didn’t understand, and there were only a few who knew about these bizarre occurrences.

"No... Master Qui is dead too!"

"And all his disciples are dead as well!"

"Master Qui was the Vice Sect Hierarch of the Witch God Sect, how could this happen..."

"Wait, there are two characters on Master Qui’s chest!"

"Release?"

"Could it be... Quick! Release them!"

"Find the fastest carriage, and send both of those captives back!"

...

Inside Yihai City.

Commander Chen had people remove the bodies and clean up the courtyard before leaving.

Lin Yue quietly sensed the condition of his true body.

"Hmm, the consumption really is quite low."

"This kind of left-handed method, although not presentable and ineffective in direct combat, is indeed strange enough to easily handle a bunch of Mortals."

He nodded to himself, quite satisfied with the results of his action.

This was a Killing Method he had created based on the witchcraft of the Yanfu World.

As long as he knew a person’s name and appearance, he could use a living person as a medium to remotely curse and assassinate them. In essence, it was similar to sticking needles in a voodoo doll, grafting death upon another.

Only, sticking needles into a doll might not be successful, requiring a long ritual beforehand, and if the target had strong spiritual power, it was easily thwarted.

His improved method involved sending down an inconsequential amount of Power from his true body, killing remotely like fate or karma with minimal consumption and effective results.

It was only in the end, when he killed the Vice Sect Hierarch of the Witch God Sect, that the consumption was a bit higher.

In addition, there was a bit of consumption at the start when using Divine Thought to probe the information in the records, but the impact was minor.

It was much better than lending his true body’s Power to his physical self and then flying a great distance to do the killing.

"However, this must have been instigated by the Sun Church, right?"

Lin Yue pondered, "Are they trying to gauge my true strength? It seems the Sun Church should make their move soon."

He had already been planning and waiting for this moment for a while.

"Just waiting for the Sun Church to come."
