His name is Bailu Aw, a son of an elder who belongs to a large clan in town. His haughty att.i.tude spring from him being pampered by his father, and having good apt.i.tude in cultivation. Since childhood, Bailu Aw would always have his way and get what he wanted. He always likes to spend his time in brothels and hidden taverns which satisfy his urges and cravings for battles and the flesh.

He is a good friend of the mayor's son, Long Xilong.

He and Long Xilong have been friends since young as their fathers work as leaders of the town. And in time people have considered Bailu Aw as Long Xilong sidekick and would always show fear and respect whenever they saw him.

Upon hearing Bailu Aw's words, the man behind the counter just sends him a nonchalant gaze and waves his hand. With this gesture, two beautiful women slowly walk to Bailu Aw's side and hugged him almost melting on his embrace.

Feeling the soft mounds on both of his arms, Bailu Aw's anger seemed to settle down a notch. Then their group walks towards a corner near s.h.i.+n Jiao's table. The people sitting on that table immediately scuttled away like frightened sheep.

"What seems to be troubling you young master Aw?" one of the girls coquettishly asked as she melted on one of Bailu Aw's strong arms.

She immediately asked this after the group was able to sit down.

"Che! That stupid b.a.s.t.a.r.d, I swear that if I will have a chance I will humiliate his wife in front of him." Bailu Aw muttered in anger, the figure of a beautiful mature woman suddenly appear on his mind and he unconsciously drooled.

Seeing his appearance the other in his group immediately realized what he is thinking of. Then one of the men on the side suddenly moves close to Bailu Aw.

"Young master Aw, would you like for our group to make a move on them. I'm sure before dawn that woman would already be on your bed. And you'll already be happily banging her. Keke…" the man said with a sinister glint in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Bailu Aw suddenly had an idea, but it immediately was quenched as a figure of a handsome and powerful man crushed his fantasies.

"Jin Fu! That d.a.m.ned b.a.s.t.a.r.d. I won't forgive him for shaming me." Bailu Aw suddenly gritted his teeth as he muttered.

When s.h.i.+n Jiao heard this name his face under the mask suddenly changes. It seems that the people are having evil machinations against Jin Fu and his wife Ling Ya. s.h.i.+n Jiao wanted to offer his help at this time, but knowing the ability of Jing Fu and Ling Ya, his worries immediately died down. He knows that the couple is more than a match for the people sitting in the table. So a sneer suddenly appears on his face, but then suddenly he heard something which made him feel more interested in listening more.

"Master, what about master Xilong. How can we help him go out of the hidden chamber inside the town hall?" a man suddenly whispered.

But since everyone in this place is a cultivator, his voice though whispered is like a full tone in each of the people in the room who are listening to their conversation. After hearing the man's word, the expression on Bailu Aw's face suddenly changed.

With a move, he smacks the head of the man making him fall on the ground. All the people in the tavern suddenly showed a flabbergasted expression.

But someone from the corner of the tavern suddenly had a bright expression on her face and a smile cracked on her dark lips under the cover of her hood.

Then she carefully stood up and disappear from the tavern, unbeknownst to her s.h.i.+n Jiao has already discovered her expression. But he didn't make his move yet as s.h.i.+n Jiao knows that something is still amiss so he needed to investigate this thing further.

For almost the whole day, s.h.i.+n Jiao went from place to place and slowly patched the whole story.

From his investigation, he learned that a few months ago there was an accident that involved a low-level cultivator, the mayor's son Long Xilong, and the mayor himself Lubo Xilong. It was a tragedy which is a normal occurrence in this world where the strong bullies the weak. But the thing is that the low-level cultivator tried to fight back but the result almost cost him his life.

"This is about revenge… should I tell Jin Fu about this? Or maybe he already knows about it and didn't mind it at all." s.h.i.+n Jiao thought as he walks back home.

The group is going to set a trap tonight and he needed to go to the town's center where they all are going to meet.

Not too long later, s.h.i.+n Jiao arrives at home and picks up some things for the preparation of the trap. He then goes out once again and walks directly to the town center.

After 30 minutes he arrived at the rendezvous location and immediately saw a couple of unfamiliar faces except for Jin Fu and Ling Ya. He noticed that little Hao'er is not with them and they didn't leave him to his home. So a confused expression appears on s.h.i.+n Jiao's face.

"You're here!" Jin Fu said with a smile on his face.

"Umm… By the way, where is little Hao?" s.h.i.+n Jiao immediately asked with concern.

He didn't want the little guy to be left just anywhere. So he felt a little concerned about the young boy's safety.

Hearing his concerned words, the couple showed a thankful expression, and then Ling Ya suddenly replied.

"You're a slowpoke, I already send him to your house when you left and I was able to get here before you." Ling Ya said as she showed a mocking smile.

Since s.h.i.+n Jiao just walks leisurely, Ling Ya was able to move faster than him as she flew from roof to roof.

"Alright, since all of us are in here already let's start the plan." Said a man donned in a white cultivator's robe and his long white beard seem to make him look dignified.

Though his age seems to be only in his 30's but the white beard is making him look like a young sage. He is the one in charge of making the formation and the rest of the people are just support and protectors. Then the group walks towards the town hall, which made s.h.i.+n Jiao suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Could it be?" s.h.i.+n Jiao thought as his steps seem to slow down.

He slowly recalled the expressions on the people in the tavern the way they walked and the discussion and topics. Then his face suddenly turned serious as he muttered to his mind.

"These fools are playing with fire."

When the group enters the town hall, s.h.i.+n Jiao saw a group of people that is too familiar to him. It was Bailu Aw who is wearing a serious expression on his face. The pompous att.i.tude he has shown inside the tavern is now gone and replaced with a dignified appearance.

"Master Jin, as you planned we've done what you've said." Bailu Aw said while cupping his hands.

But s.h.i.+n Jiao saw something from the corner of his eyes. Because at that time, Bailu Aw suddenly flashed an unusual gaze towards Ling Ya who is standing beside Jin Fu. While his head is lowered a lewd smile crept out but was immediately reined by him.

"Good, let's start forming the array formation!" the man with a long white beard shouted.

Everyone immediately nods their heads and began to draw a large formation. s.h.i.+n Jiao upon seeing this also did his own thing and began to draw a supportive array to supply more power to the formation. After a while, they were able to finish the array and the ground suddenly glowed and in disappears in a flash as if nothing happened.

"Now we wait until the time the horde attacks." The man said as he strokes his beard carefully.

But right after he finished his words, a loud sound echoed through the whole area.

Shriek!!!

The piercing sound which everyone in town knows that it is the start of the horde advance, but this time it was far too early making the people all over the town suddenly clamored in fear as they ran as fast as they can even leaving the things they are carrying which were scattered all of the paved roads.

n.o.body expected that the undead beast horde will arrive this soon.

Then a shadow of a large beast blotted the sky and covered the already setting sun's remaining golden rays. The figure of a bat-like creature with its half rotting body quickly appears to form the sky and descended directly to the town. The huge gust of wind blew everything away from its path even the houses have their windows shattered with just a mere force of the wind it carries.

And with a loud booming sound, it landed.

Boom!!!
