The stronger Battle Master kicked open the door, causing the people inside to be on alert. Without saying a word, they took out their big blades and slashed out, as was their habit.
In the capital, these people were also considered as figures that others did not dare offend. On average, they were all very strong, roughly a hundred strong.
However, their Hall of Sages were all elites out of geniuses, and some of them had even fought on the battlefield to kill others, killing them was as easy as cutting vegetables.
Hua Ruge had arranged for two Soul Master s to stand at a high place, with both the front and back doors blocked up, in case someone ran out to report.
In this way, the entrance of the Black Force Palace was quickly cleaned up. Soon, the next battle began.
These people were all well-trained and were all clean and ruthless. Soon, blood started flowing out of the four halls like rivers.
The team then used the fastest speed to turn to the Hua family, secretly running the shops that were making money for them, and loot everything that was valuable as soon as they opened the door.
Then, with the Soul Master cleaning up the battlefield, the two Rank 4 soul skills basically turned the small shop into pieces.
Squad Four set off waves and waves of looting within the capital, scaring all the thieves away, afraid that tonight's incident would implicate the innocent of them.
The truth proved that Hall of Sages was not only suitable for the battlefield of the enemy nation, it was also very efficient to rob and kill people without alerting too many people, and it was done just like that.
The four teams almost arrived at the same time.
Hua Ruge stood out and said, "The reason why the Hua Family was able to do whatever they want in the dark all these years, and made others not dare to become enemies with them, is largely because of their Death Soldiers.
"How many are there?" someone asked.
"There are hundreds of people. Although none of them are afraid of death, they are all good at tracking, sneaking and assassinating. They aren't that strong, so we should be more than enough." Hua Ruge said.
"Alright, we should get rid of these tumors a long time ago." One of the leaders said.
Everyone nodded their heads, and under Hua Ruge's lead, they headed to an even more hidden location.
The defenses of this place were much more meticulous than those halls. They sent a few Battle Master s to take care of some of the Death Soldiers guarding the outer perimeter first, then they split into four groups and rushed in from the four people in the big house to prevent any omissions.
Soul Master was already prepared, even if there were fish that escaped the net, they would not be able to escape death.
"Kill them all!"
One of the team leaders kicked the door open first, while the other team members also quickly moved, waking up the sleeping Death Soldiers.
The difference in strength between the two sides was not small, and they did not have any ulterior motives. Thus, after suffering such a huge loss, the Death Soldiers all wanted to escape.
But with Hua Ruge's meticulous planning, these people could not escape, and were instead killed.
As a Soul Master, Hua Ruge stood at a high place, looking down expressionlessly at the slaughter taking place below.
Although death warriors were only a small part of the Hua Clan's strength, if they were to be annihilated together with the black forces, the impact to the Hua Clan would not be small. It was as if she was looking at Hua Shengxiong who was so angry that he jumped at her feet.
It was yet another battle without any suspense, but this time for a bit longer, the residents nearby also heard the sound.
Hua Ruge saw that someone was running towards the direction of the official, but since it was a civilian, he did not attack.
Since the authorities were here, they should be able to kill more or less of them.
This night was destined to not be peaceful, and he was not afraid of causing any more trouble.
From the time they had set off to the end, an entire hour had passed. The ones that should have been alarmed had almost been alerted as well.
When all the Death Soldiers were killed, Hua Ruge came down and said: "The officials should be sending people to investigate immediately. It's too eye-catching for everyone to leave together.
No one would dare to investigate the Hall of Sages and only listen to the emperor's orders, so they definitely would not expose themselves when they returned there.
Everyone nodded and quickly merged into the darkness.
Su Nianxia realized that Hua Ruge had not moved.
"Little Big Brother, why aren't you running?" Su Nianxia asked.
Hua Ruge looked at her and said, "I have even more exciting things to do, are you going?"
"F * ck off." Su Nianxia, who was an unsettled person, nodded his head. It was better to be able to play than to go back.
"Then let's go." Hua Ruge chose a direction first.
Before the two figures had even disappeared from the street, the soldiers had already rushed over with torches. They glanced at the house full of dead people, and without thinking too much, they shouted towards Hua Ruge: "Chase them."
Hua Ruge and Su Nianxia looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. After that, they began to flee at top speed, with great tacit understanding.
If they were caught at this time, then even if it was someone from the Hall of Sages, the Emperor could not pardon them for killing so many people.
Hua Ruge pulled Su Nianxia and ran, the officials were chasing after him frantically. Su Nianxia was from Soul Master, and his physique was weak.
Helpless, Hua Ruge could only use his Gravity Spell on the people chasing after him.
This way, the officials would be slower, but Su Nianxia was also slow, so he was able to maintain a distance that was neither too far nor too close, but fortunately, he was not able to catch up.
"Little big brother, why are you moving further and further away as you run?" Su Nianxia asked. He had long since left the bustling region of the capital and arrived at the quiet foot of the mountain.
The foot of the mountain was a good place to take shelter in the summer, so there were a few luxurious manors, and one of them had the words' Hua Manor 'written on it.
The Death Soldier's soul had sent a message. If Hua Shengxiong wanted to rope in other officials, or perhaps pass the message with the border guards, they would all be at this place. It was a very important point of contact.
Hua Ruge performed a Gravity Spell at the feet of the soldiers, and then pulled Su Nianxia into the forest. Those people who were a bit slower could no longer find him.
The wind between the mountains was very strong, so these soldiers couldn't hear anything. Just as they were about to search the mountain, they saw a blazing flame descending from the sky, illuminating the entire night sky. It was incomparably gorgeous.
However, no one was enjoying the scene because the big ball of flame instantly fell on the Hua family's manor. The temperature of the flame was extremely high. Even in winter, it would still burn brightly and the manor would soon be covered in smoke.
The officers and soldiers quickly rushed over to put out the fire. Otherwise, with the consecutive incidents that happened today, they would have been able to go home and carry their wives and children.

There was a stream melted by the snow on the mountain right next to them. Everyone was trying to figure out how to guide the water into the manor.
At this moment, an even larger ball of flames fell from the sky, followed by one burning after another.
Because the Hua family's villa was too big, they could only burn it down at the fastest speed possible.
The officers and soldiers watched as the fire grew larger.
"Boss, what do we do now?" A soldier asked. With the Soul Master releasing his soul technique, there was no way for the soldiers to defend.
"Run!" a middle-aged man said.
"But if the higher-ups investigate, will they chase us down?" the soldier asked again.
"When the time comes, we'll say that we've never been here before. This place is so far away from the city, it's normal that we can't make it here." The old soldier said this.
The others nodded and quickly left.
"You're really cunning." Hua Ruge walked out of the forest.
"Little big brother, don't you think the Hua family will go crazy after today?" Su Nianxia looked at the burning manor in the distance and said.
Hua Ruge pursed his lips and said: "Who told them to provoke Hall of Sages?"
"I think I've offended you." Su Nianxia mercilessly exposed it.
Hua Ruge glanced at her, and she added on: "Even if you offend little big brother, you still won't have a good ending."
"Hey, hey, can you not make me sound so evil?" Hua Ruge said in dissatisfaction.
"Then I'll be more refined." Su Nianxia began to think.
"Forget it." Forget it. Hua Ruge only wanted to cover her mouth.
"Demon King of Confusion should be like this, I will learn it too." Su Nianxia said seriously.
Hua Ruge treated her as a child who didn't understand anything and left immediately.
Su Nianxia followed along, pestering her to ask where the information came from.
Hua Ruge regretted bringing her along all the way.
The flames in the manor had burned for the entire night, but the commotion in the capital right now was even stronger than this blazing wave of fire.
That night, the lights in the capital were much brighter. They had all heard the noises and went out to take a look. They couldn't fall asleep after asking around a bit.
More than a dozen halls had been destroyed overnight. The shops on the main streets had been destroyed as well. No one could believe that not a single person had been caught in such a large commotion in a single night.
Everyone began to speculate whether these halls and shops had offended the gods and suffered divine retribution.
Some people said that they knew that a few of these shops belonged to the Hua family, while others said that there were also some from the Hua family in the main hall. Some bold people guessed that these shops belonged to the Hua family.
Since the imperial family had recently offended the Emperor, and he had angered the emperor, everyone knew about it. So could the current situation be a warning from the Emperor or Hall of Sages to the Hua family?
Some even guessed that the Emperor was afraid of the Hua Clan and was secretly trying to destroy them.
Rumors were like tigers, but once they appeared, they would spread through the crowd like wings. In the mouths of thousands of people, they would grow into tigers, preparing to bite down on the eye-catching Hua family.
The officials were well aware that if the emperor was not able to be so ruthless, then it should be the Hall of Sages. Then, such a strong collision between the Hua Clan and the Hall of Sages, which side would the emperor's heart lean towards?
Thus, everyone began to tear up the memorials they had written earlier and swapped them for sharper words to test out the attitude of the Emperor.
At this moment within the Hall of Sages, the participating disciples had already taken a bath and changed into a new set of clothes, openly dividing the spoils within the pavilion.
In their eyes, in the eyes of even more people in the Hall of Sages, this matter was insignificant.
After all, they weren't the ones who started this, they were just fighting back with a tooth for a tooth.
Hua Ruge did not participate as she was not short on money. After taking a shower, she went straight back to her room to sleep.
Tomorrow would be much more exciting than today. She needed to rest and store up energy in order to enjoy the show.
