90,000 Years of Longevity

Chapter 164: Aftermath

Autumn Water Manor.

Wang An was lying on a wicker chair.

The air was slightly cool and the peach blossoms had fallen.

He was still wearing that gown, quietly looking at the moon from scarlet to silver, the whole person looked older and older as if he would turn into dust at any time.

Next to him, Cheng Shou stood respectfully.

"Master, the people in Egypt did not act in the end. The original order had been issued, but at the last moment, we didn't know why they all stopped. Should we take the initiative?" Cheng Shou broke this quiet atmosphere.

Wang An shook his head slightly, "It's Moonlight Sword! I'm afraid those people are all dead."

"Dead?" Cheng Shou could not help exclaiming after a pause.

Although the people on the Egyptian side were not too powerful, they still had the thousand years' background.

Furthermore, on his own side, someone had been arranged for comprehensive surveillance, but there was no real action.

How could all those people die?

Ring, ring!

While Cheng Shou couldn't figure it out, the phone in his pocket rang.

He respectfully bent over to Wang An, took a few steps back, took out the phone and put it to his ear.

"Boss, something happened. When those people acted, we were going to take action too, but before we had time to do it, they all suddenly died!" There was an extremely hasty voice on the phone. "Boss, do you think there are other forces in the dark? I feel very strange."

"All right!" Cheng Shou lightly said, "Keep hiding in the dark and wait for my news."

After that, he hung up the phone.

Standing in place for a few seconds, he walked towards Wang An with cold sweat on his forehead and cautiously said his own guess, "Master, this shouldn't be the case. After you came out of the mountain, the dark forces in the whole world have our people, and any news will come, even if it from the Holy See, I haven't let anyone take action How could they all die and with such a fast speed at that? Is there another terrifying power behind this?"

"There are some things that you shouldn't know, so it's better not to know! Since those people are all dead, you should take care of the aftermath. I don't want the news to be everywhere." On the wicker chair, Wang An's voice was very soft.

Although Cheng Shou was very puzzled, he didn't dare to talk too much at this moment, nodded, and answered, "Yes, sir!"

Ten minutes later...

Cheng Shou came to a death scene in Q City.

"Boss, the corpse is here!" A younger brother led the way.

Cheng Shou looked in that direction.

His pupils suddenly enlarged...

Not far from him, a corpse was cut into more than ten pieces by a sharp weapon.

And every piece was neat and tidy.

The ground was stained red with blood, and the fishy smell of blood in the air was very strong.

Under the moonlight, this scene was extremely strange.

Cheng Shou was a person who had seen the face of the world. Soon he calmed down again, his Adam apple moved up and down, and looked at the younger brother next to him, "I asked you to monitor before, so did you see who killed him? "

Next to him, that little brother was very pale.

The fear in his eyes had not dissipated.

He tried to calm himself, but his teeth were still trembling, "B-boss... you may not believe it, b-but I, I don't know... no one has done anything to them... they were cut and slaughtered out of thin air."

"Out of thin air?" Cheng Shou took a breath and asked again, "Are you sure you haven't seen anyone?"

"I'm very sure!" The younger brother nodded seriously.

But when he finished speaking, his pupils shrank and he added, "However, the weather at the time was very strange!"

"For example?" Cheng Shou narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Boss, the moon was red at the time, as red as blood. To be honest, it was the first time I saw a moon of that color when I've grown so big. For a moment, I felt that the moonlight was like a sharp blade. As long as it shines on the body, you will be immediately beheaded, there is nowhere to hide." The clothes on the younger brother were soaked with sweat, but his words became smoother.

Cheng Shou, who had already faintly guessed something, shrank his pupils suddenly after hearing this.

A chill rose from the soles of his toes.

A cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and even his complexion became very pale.

After looking at the broken corpse on the ground for a long time, he said with emotion, "Moonlight Sword..."

After he said this word, he subconsciously looked at the moon that became bright.

Hu!

Cheng Shou took a deep breath.

In those slightly squinted eyes, he seemed to see a young man in a white shirt flying by in the distance.

It was a pity that the young man's appearance couldn't be seen at all.

The figure became more and more blurred.

"Boss?" Seeing Cheng Shou dazed by the side, the younger brother whispered.

Cheng Shou returned to his senses. His body seemed to be collapsed and he said to the little brother, "Immediately clean up here. Before dawn, I want to make this city look like nothing happened."

"Yes!" The younger brother nodded, "But boss, what the hell is going on?"

"There are some things that you shouldn't know, so it's better that you don't know it!" Cheng Shou glared at the little brother and said the same thing as Wang An.

...

The alley, inside the courtyard, was very quiet.

When the scarlet moonlight gradually faded to whiteness, Mr. Hua, sitting on the pad, stood up stiffly with one hand on the ground.

Whoosh!

As he got up, the sparrows in the herb field took off without warning.

"That period of cause and effect is over. You also found something, so do you have an idea?" Mr. Hua asked Ye Bei softly.

Ye Bei replied, "The gods and Buddhas have disappeared. The answer I want should be related to them."

"Also?" Mr. Hua asked.

Ye Bei did not hide it and said truthfully, "Current modern human beings are considered to be an era. Gods and Buddhas at that time are also considered to be an era. More distant earth, there have also been other civilizations, such as the disappearing Atlantis, the extinct dinosaurs, and countless more. There are too many civilizations related to that secret, but recently, I feel more and more that this long river is coming to an end."

After listening, Mr. Hua's eyes seemed to be contemplative.

Rustle!

A cool breeze passed.

Mr. Hua's body trembled a little, "You mean, this era is coming to an end?"

"Perhaps." Ye Bei replied softly, his tone unwavering.

The muscles around Mr. Hua's mouth moved slightly.

He wanted to say something but finally fell silent again.

Looking up, the silver moonlight cast down on his wrinkled cheeks. The corners of his mouth were slightly bent, and his old eyes seemed to see everything thoroughly at this moment.
