Chapter 225 - Fall on Evil Days
Ying Yunpeng took the few middle-aged men and rushed to the east of the market of the Ten Sun market as quickly as possible.
The clear stream, which looked vivid because of the floating grasses in it, wiggly flying across a beautiful mountain area. Lines of wooden buildings and stone houses were built in this area. This place was the luxurious part of the Ten Sun market, you would be able to find the most beautiful women and delicious wine in this place.
Of course, this place was also filled with all kinds of possibilities that could stimulate the most primitive desires of people, encouraging them to spend their coins and energy lavishly. This kind of activities were either put on the table or hidden in the darkness. The annual profit of this small east market represented over thirty percent of the total profit made by the Ten Sun market.
Under a small hill that was covered by thriving plants, in a shallow aqueduct, Great Gale Ling was lying, with a weird and frozen smile on his face. His body was now as cold as a piece of ice, not even a single wisp of life force was remaining inside his body. He had already died long time ago.
A few pure-white-haired elderly Maguspriests were standing beside the aqueduct. All kinds of insects and small-scale beasts that had great sense of smell were moving quickly around their bodies, trying to discover any possible traces that may have been left by the murderer who had killed Great Gale Ling. A few Senior Magi, who were especially good at tracking and assassination, were also carefully checking the shallow aqueduct and Great Gale Ling’s body, trying to figure out whether Great Gale Ling had died naturally or murdered by someone else.
“Oi, that’s Great Gale Ling, the most talented young archer of the Great Gale Clan!”
“Died just like this! Oh my god, those Great Gale Clan’s elders are going to be so sad and frustrated.”
“Normally this guy was extremely haughty and arrogant, but during the past few days he had been doing nothing but constantly drinking in the bar, here in the east market, for some unknown reason.”
“Could it be that his girlfriend left him for another guy and he couldn’t bear it, so decided to finish himself?”
Thousands of people with strange smiles were standing either close to the shallow aqueduct or far away from it, while looking at the body of Great Gale Ling. All these people were all guests of the east market, they were either from big-scale clans of the four Wastelands or the Midland and were all rich and powerful people. None of these people were afraid of the Ten Sun Country, therefore, they voiced their thought loudly, while pointing at the dead body of Great Gale Ling.
Pu Ban City was a peaceful place. It was the political center of the entire human world and was filled with all kinds of powerful Magi. It had also been well protected by all kinds of defensive magic formations and guarded by large amounts of elite warriors, therefore, homicide cases filled with mysteries hardly ever happened in this city. Moreover, the Ten Sun market was controlled by the Ten Sun Country. People from all over the world knew how great the archers of the Ten Sun Country were. It was nearly impossible for someone to sneak into the Ten Sun market under their watch.
As for Great Gale Ling, he was a famous talented archer among the younger generation of the Ten Sun Country and was quite influential in the Pu Ban city. During the past few years, Great Gale Ling and other few young Magi of the Ten Sun Country had created different-scale conflicts against people from other clans, quite many time.
Such a young, talented and potential Magus abruptly died in a small, shallow aqueduct that was less than a foot deep. Without a doubt, this was like a heavy slap that had been thrown on the face of the Ten Sun Country.
Many people were taking pleasure in this misfortune. It wouldn’t matter if they discovered the murderer, because the death of Great Gale Ling had badly humiliated Ying Yunpeng and the Ten Sun Country.
Ying Yunpeng rushed over with the little group of middle-aged men while his face looked twisted and dark. He had even forgotten about the accident of the fleet for the time-being. Although the cargo that those ships were carrying was extremely valuable stuff that had been lost, it was lost without the possibility of retrieval. Ying Yunpeng could only accept such a result.
Besides, only the core members of the administrative staff of the Ten Sun Country knew about this accident, as long as they could keep this news from the others, the overall situation wouldn’t become too embarrassing.
However, Great Gale Ling had died right in the east market, under the watch of countless guards of the Ten Sun Country. If Ying Yunpeng couldn’t figure out how exactly this happened soon enough and execute the murderer in front of everybody through the most cruel way, the death of Great Gale Ling would become a heavy smear on the reputation of the Ten Sun Country.
After all, so many people had witnessed his death.
Rushing angrily over to the aqueduct, Ying Yunpeng waved his long arms, which even reached his knees, and yelled harshly, “How on earth did this happen?!!”
