Bagua City.
A luxurious mansion with an internal courtyard, complete with little bridges over flowing water, and pavilions and verandas aplenty.
With a short blade, Ghost Howling, Dong Tianze slit the throat of a female cultivator from the Raging Sun Sect, frowning as he waited for her soul spirit to be sucked in by the Ghost Howling.
But the moment the female cultivator drew her last breath, the stone slabs beneath Bagua City absorbed her soul spirit, and in an instant, it was gone.
"They're all the same."
A hint of puzzlement shone through Dong Tianze's ruthless eyes as he wiped clean the bloodstains on Ghost Howling with the clothes of the female cultivator.
Beside him stood a woman with a cold demeanor, silently watching his actions without disturbing him.
In the elegantly refurbished courtyard, bodies were strewn haphazardly, filling up the ground.
All the corpses belonged to the Raging Sun Sect.
