“All the victims died because of severe trauma. All their heads were cut off... Too many people died. Too many places are involved. The organization seemed unable to deal with the scene after the murder... That is why we saw most of the dead bodies. It was... horrible.”

Ge Zhenfeng looked pretty frightened when he talked to this.

“All their bodies were drained out of blood. All that is left of them were the dry bodies. It seems there were no flesh and blood left inside... It looked like they had been dead for a long time...”

Ye Xiao’s eyes fluttered. “Dried corpse?”

“That’s right. Dried Corpse!” Ge Zhenfeng’s face twitched, and he said, “They were all the same. They were killed. They were dead. However, the murderers still did such unacceptable thing on the dead bodies... How vicious...”

“We have dissected many of the dried bodies. They are all the same. The corpses are completely dried. Their bones looked like those from hundreds of years ago... The bones are like rocks or powder...” Ge Zhenfeng took a deep breath and said, “It felt like... that their souls, blood, and other essences of their bodies were pulled out...

“Only the dried skins and skeletons are left.

“They don’t even have their faces anymore.

“Besides, I noticed that many strangers have gotten into our crowd. They yelled loudly like they are also followers of Xiao Monarch, but I think they are planning something else. They are just waiting for opportunities to move...” His eyes were full of fear and anger. “Xiao Monarch!”

He spoke, “Now, we have no idea who we are fighting for. We have no idea how powerful they are... but I am sure none of us want to die like those dried corpses!

“You are our only hope! Xiao Monarch!”

He looked at Ye Xiao with hope in the eyes, “Please... Lead us out of this nightmare!”

Ye Xiao felt heavy in the heart when he heard Ge Zhenfeng’s words.

It wasn’t much to ask, but could he really do it?

Maybe he could protect ten, eight, thirty, or maybe fifty. It would be difficult to protect over one hundred. However, those were not tens or hundreds. It was over three hundred thousand people!

After a while, Ye Xiao made a long sigh and said, “Go find a secret place and decided into eight groups from eight directions. Each group chooses two heroes to represent the group... Let’s do this together. We must have a plan. As long as we work together, we work hard, we can make it out of this nightmare!”

“Yes!” Ge Zhenfeng and Peng Zhifa all shouted in high spirit just like all the others.

The next thing they did was to spread Xiao Monarch’s words.

Time flies. It only flies the fastest when you need it the most!

At dusk, a piece of bad news arrived unexpectedly.

Everybody was shocked!

The Dark Cloud Sword Sect, which was also one of the seven great sects, had been attacked by tens of thousands of men in black. The entire sect was wiped out within one day. No disciples survived!

The Dark Cloud Sword Sect was over thirty thousand miles away from Saint Starlight Sect. It took a while for the message to reach them from where it happened.

Apparently, it was several days since the Dark Cloud Sword Sect was attacked!

It was the weakest in the seven sects, but it was a super force after all. The nine great clans were all lower than it. However, the secret organization wiped them out easily just like they wiped out the two clans.

How horribly powerful were those people in black?

It must be unimaginable and terrifying!

In fact, even Misty Cloud Palace, the two great halls would have to spend quite some time to destroy one of the seven great sects after a tough battle. To end the battle in one day, it had to cost a lot.

The people in black did it, and it seemed they didn’t get any difficulties finishing it.

Such news had brought an even darker cloud in everybody’s heart!

The dark cloud was right over all people’s heads.

They all felt like that an iron blade was hanging right upon their head which would cut their heads off at any second. The organization destroyed one of the seven great sects so easily, didn’t it mean it was much easier to destroy the weaker?

Everybody panicked.

It seemed the heavens were joking. The dark cloud gathered, and it turned dark in the sky. When they looked at the dark forest on the mountain, they felt like somebody was staring at them with evilness.

They could feel nothing but horror and silence.

When they heard the message, they were moving along a mountain range. That was when they stopped and decided to discuss a new plan.

The campfire was flaming, rising, dancing in the air. However, it couldn’t drive away the cold and fear in their hearts.

In a secluded valley, they built up a big and luxurious camp.

The first thing they did was to choose somebody to represent the eight groups.

This time, nobody was greedy for power. Everybody tried to vote for the men they all recognized as the best in cultivation, martial art, fame, power, and forces. Only the chosen ones could enter the big luxurious camp for further discussion.

The selection concerned the future of everybody. Nobody dared to put the future in risk. No matter how eager one was for power, he would give it up for now. After all, a dead man couldn’t get anything from power. If one couldn’t even survive the war, what was the point to fight for the power of representing the group?

Capable meant capable. Incapable meant incapable. Nobody brought up anything else.

The groups made their decision pretty quickly. Things went fast and well. The result was out very soon.
