Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely Chapter 1347 - 437: Killing and Interrogation, Five Great Feudal Towns, the Four Su Siblings, Long-Lost Excitement_4

"Hoo......"

Certainly, Xia Hong would not grant them any reprieve. With a mere exhale, he unleashed a powerful gale towards the soldiers before him.

Possessing physical strength at the Ten Thousand Forging Level, the mere act of channeling bone-formed energy to expel wind carried a force equivalent to hundreds of silvers, if not more.

"Ah..."

"Ah... spare me..."

The soldiers had barely advanced two or three steps before they were violently swept into the Bone-Eroding Path by Xia Hong’s whirlwind, much like He Qing had been earlier. Their terrified screams were cut short as their flesh was stripped away by the Black Wind, leaving behind only bare bones.

"You fiend, this is my toll for passage, are you satisfied now?"

Xia Hong lifted his gaze towards the Bone-Eroding Path and deliberately taunted.

Hoohoohoo......

The sound of airflow emanating from the Bone-Eroding Path suddenly intensified, with visible currents striving to escape outward. This clearly indicated the Black Wind General’s escalating annoyance.

"If you cannot escape, then all is negotiable! With strength exceeding a Hundred Jun, returning from this place may prove perilous..."

Recalling the terrifying pursuit by the Black Wind General within the Bone-Eroding Path moments prior, Xia Hong’s expression turned somber. He remained stationary, contemplating for a short while before swiftly turning his flight towards the north.

"Sir, I am Su Jing, and my younger siblings and I are willing to serve by your side from this moment onward. We humbly beg for your acceptance..."

Witnessing Xia Hong’s departure, Su Jing hastily began to prostrate himself on the ground. His siblings, Su Xu, Su Zhi, and Su Xing’er, immediately followed suit, bowing their heads in supplication towards Xia Hong.

Regrettably, despite the four siblings repeatedly striking their foreheads against the ground more than ten times, and even after Su Jing’s throat grew parched from speaking, no response came from Xia Hong.

"Brother, that gentleman has already departed."

The youngest, Su Xing’er, couldn't help but raise her head first, only to find that no one was before them. She spoke with profound disappointment.

The third brother, Su Zhi, wore a self-deprecating expression as he uttered in a defeated tone, "Our qualifications were not even deemed worthy by those County City Stewards. How could such a powerful and young gentleman possibly take us in?"

Second brother Su Xu’s countenance also fell. He stood up, retrieved the severed arm of their eldest brother Su Jing, and glanced at the mangled bodies strewn across the ground, despair clouding his features. "Brother, with so many lives lost, Bai Shui County will undoubtedly launch an investigation sooner or later. Forget Qingtan Village, we cannot even remain in Evergreen Valley any longer."

Not returning to Qingtan Village was a minor concern, as their parents were already deceased. However, the critical issue was their inability to remain in Evergreen Valley; where else could they possibly go?

Leaving the confines of Evergreen Valley’s territory was an absolute impossibility given their current strength!

Upon comprehending this dire reality, Su Zhi and Su Xing’er’s expressions turned equally desperate.

"No, wait!"

However, Su Jing, who had remained kneeling without moving, suddenly lifted his head. His features were devoid of despair; instead, they were filled with hope and ecstatic joy as he gazed upon the bodies scattered on the ground.

He immediately rose to his feet, casually seized a corpse, and flung it towards the direction of the Bone-Eroding Path. He then called out to Su Xu and the others, "Quick, help me toss all the bodies on the ground into the Bone-Eroding Path and clean up this area."

Su Xu and the others were taken aback, failing to grasp their elder brother’s intentions. Yet, seeing Su Jing’s earnest eagerness, they assisted him in handling the grim task.

"That’s right! That gentleman asked so many questions earlier; he must hail from the Outer Domain. He definitely doesn’t wish for his information to be exposed, deliberately leaving these bodies for us to dispose of!"

Soon, the third brother, Su Zhi, was the first to comprehend the situation.

Upon hearing this, Su Xu also experienced a moment of realization, a joyful smile spreading across his face as he worked with renewed vigor.

Even the youngest, Su Xing’er, grasped the implication, turning her gaze northward with eyes brimming with strong anticipation.

Before long, the four siblings had meticulously cleared the entire scene.

Finally, Su Xu and Su Zhi strained themselves dragging a large saber before Su Jing and quietly inquired, "Brother, this is He Qing’s saber, a Ten Thousand Forging Level artifact, even coated with a layer of silver..."

Su Jing cast a glance at the Ten Thousand Forging Level saber. Although a flicker of greed crossed his eyes, he swiftly suppressed it with resolve, stating sternly, "Toss it in!"

A sense of reluctance was evident on Su Xu and Su Zhi’s faces, yet they jointly lifted the saber and hurled it into the Bone-Eroding Path.After the cleanup was finished, the four brothers stood their ground, exchanging meaningful glances. They waited for nearly forty or fifty breaths, yet there was no sound and no sign of Xia Hong. "Has that gentleman not arrived yet?" "Brother, could you possibly be mistaken?" "That gentleman is incredibly powerful; he isn't concerned about being investigated!" As Su Xu and the others voiced their thoughts, Su Jing’s expression shifted subtly with doubt, wondering if he had perhaps overexaggerated the situation. However, he soon clenched his fist, stating with firm resolve, "That gentleman represents our sole chance for survival. Let us pursue him northward. He was injured moments ago and likely hasn't traveled very far." It was evident that Su Xu and the others placed immense trust in their elder brother, Su Jing. Witnessing him take the lead northward, they promptly followed in his footsteps. Given that they were in pursuit, their pace naturally could not be sluggish. The four siblings swiftly covered four to five kilometers northward. Unfortunately, they were unable to catch up to Xia Hong, nor did they find even the faintest trace of his presence. "Brother, daylight is nearly upon us. We won't be able to catch up. Let's find a place to conceal ourselves!" Heeding the second brother’s reminder, a flicker of disappointment crossed Su Jing’s face. Observing the sky already beginning to lighten, he could only nod in reluctant acceptance.
