One of the 4 Heavenly Kings Zen Hu the Lightning Spear bent on the ground, looking for clues at the abandoned base of the Carnal Anarchy Sect. He had come to investigate the rumors of the destruction of the sect

The place was sprawled with dead bodies everywhere, all chopped to pieces and in the innermost room, not only were there dead bodies, much of the room was badly burned. 

And after several days, they were rotting and unrecognizable. 

He was confused as there were two different styles of death. 

For many of the outside deaths, they were chopped to pieces, similar to the bodies he investigated about 20 kilometers away next to a lake. 

There, the easily recognizable large body parts of the sectleader, the Savage King Murong Zong was chopped to pieces together with multiple members of their sect wearing the sect uniforms.

This was similar to all the bodies in cleanly cut pieces all over the sect. 

However, in the inner room, the whole place was burned down, including all the dead bodies there. However, even though the bodies were burned, clearly there was a decaying corpse cut in two, as well as what was recognized to be the body parts of the deputy Sect Leader, the one known as the Beast Zong Kee was chopped to pieces in a similar way to that of the sectmaster 20 km away. 

Then there are all the burnt bodies of many females in bed.

He suspected the place was burned down by the Phoenix King Xue Fan, as he had heard rumors that the Phoenix King was seen in the region looking for the Savage King Murong Zong.

What happened? Did they fight and did Xue Fan kill Murong Zong?

There was also a extra hand which was unaccounted for. Who did it belong to? Xue Fan? But he usually wore a prominent looking storage ring on his right hand, so this couldn't possibly be his hand.  

Was it the attacker who lost his hand in battle and fled? But he won, didn't he? Why didn't he take his hand with him?

If there was another person who did the attacking, surely he must have been a Peak Xiantian in order to kill Murong Zong, Zong Kee and the rest of the Carnal Anarchy Sect?

Did Xue Fan work together with him? Or did they fight instead? A person killing both Murong Zong and Xue Fan and possibly beating them? That's impossible isn't it? Perhaps only the Invincible Sword Kai Shin of the Invincible Sect or the mysterious Shadow King of the Darkness Sect could possibly do such a thing.  

Zen Hu sat on the ground, stumped. There was too many things that didn't make sense.

A dark shadow sat at the table, looking at a map with several wooden pieces placed on the map indicating different people all around. The pieces were strangely moving on their own across the map

This was the leader of the most proficient and fearsome espionage group in the Jianghu, the Shadow King, and he had shadows watching everywhere. 

He had no facial features, and looked like a black human shaped silhouette sitting on the chair. 

"The Eunuch is heading for the Corpse Sect now, bringing along the Phoenix Sect princess and the 7 Blades prodigy. Impressive how he is able to take out that musclehead the Savage King. It wasn't so long ago he was a mere dickless Houtian in the Forbidden City." the Shadow King said

He had taken a great interest in the eunuch since his attack on the Emperor "failed". How could a mere eunuch with no cultivation stop his forces? The Shadow King himself was occupied with his actual job of kidnapping his target in the Imperial Harem. 

The Emperor of course thought he was the assassination target, but he was a distraction and it didn't matter if the lower ranked assassins succeeded or not in killing him.

The real target was the 3rd Royal Concubine Lai Sim, who was successfully kidnapped. She was the former lover of the Invincible Sword Kai Shin. The fact that the Emperor took her as his concubine caused a rift between the emperor and the Invincible Sect, the most powerful of the 12 Righteous Swords, who led the most powerful sect on the Righteous side.

With the concubine in his hands, he had someone to blackmail Kai Shin with, as he still had strong feelings for her.

And as a bonus, the Shadow King saw and kidnapped a girl he saw and took a fancy to, and made her his slave.

"Do you know, now that the Eunuch has his dick back, he's fucking those two girls every night? He chopped it off for you right? What do you think of that?" he asked 

A naked woman sat between his lap as her head bopped up and down. However, mysteriously her head was bopping in and out of his groin, as if his hips were insubstantial. 

"Yes, you don't care, do you? You're mine soul, spirit and body" he laughed as he pressed her head down onto his hips for a while, preventing her from breathing.

It was a strange sight as a shadow sat on a chair, while a headless woman seemed to be attached to the shadow's groin with no head. 

His shivered for a short while before he let go of her head, looking back at the map. As her head came back out of his hips, her mouth seemed to be filled with a black liquid which she subsequently swallowed and eagerly showed her tongue.  

"Hmm...why is the Ice Queen heading the Eunuch's way? What is the Swift Sword up to?" the Shadow King wondered 

With a command, the naked woman stood up and sat onto the chair the shadow was sitting on, merging into his body.

She moaned as her body totally submerged into his body, with only her nipples were sticking out of his chest, and her nose and mouth sticking out of his featureless head. 

The rest of her body totally disappeared into his body as he stood up and walked out of the room.

"You sent the Ice Queen after them?" the elder asked

"The icy bitch has been harassing me over Rhuu Yen over for a long time.

I contemplated using Rhuu Yen's yin constitution for my next breakthrough to Peak Xiantian, but if I did take her chastity, the ice bitch would no doubt fight me for ruining her potential.

However, now that she's lost her purity and is no longer of use to me, I'll use her to bait the ice bitch to fight this new Xiantian" the Swift Blade Tong Li said

"His name is Quan Yu" the Elder said

"Whatever. I don't care" Tong Li replied

He had been curious about the new Xiantian who defeated the xiantian bandits and wanted to fight him.

And his curiousity grew further over the rumors that his former student Rhuu Yen had also been promoted to Xiantian. 

What was his secret to such quick successive breakthroughs? Were their breakthroughs real? Sending the Ice Queen would verify everything. 

He stroked his beard in contemplation, eager to hear reports of their fight.
