“Rustle rustle rustle!”
“Rustle rustle rustle!”
In the pitch-dark mountain forest, a group of people moved quietly, making slight sounds as they touched grass and trees.
This was a group of warriors wearing battle robes and masks. Although they didn’t release martial dao auras, from their movements, they must be first-class masters.
“Sect Master.”
A warrior walking in front stopped and transmitted, “Spirit sense is restricted, can only detect a range of one or two zhang.”
From the voice, this was Li Qingyang.
Following behind were core disciples like Lu Qianqian, Xiao Zuiji, Li Fei, Tian Qi, He Wudi, and others.
What about Night Emperor?
He was also in the group.
However, at this moment he was howling in his heart, “How could I have slept outside the latrine yesterday!”
Last time when the sect held a banquet, he got drunk and danced in front of the bonfire. Yesterday he got drunk and slept outside his room. This was definitely a blow to his self-esteem!
“No, no!”
Ye Xingchen said, “From now on, not a drop of alcohol!”
To avoid creating more stains, A’niu immediately decided to quit drinking!
“Indeed.”
Jun Changxiao sat on a tree, chewing an apple, “The miasma here has no poison, but it contains an effect that isolates spirit sense.”
Below the tree stood Purple Scale Demon King, Baiqiu Great King, Ding Xingwang, and Yao Mengying.
All the sect’s high-level members and core disciples had come. This meant that the area they were currently in was the Dark Crow Mountain Range that made Star Meteor Continent tremble with fear!
After capturing the Demon Emperor Sect’s four protectors, the other side would definitely receive the news, so after letting loose yesterday, they brought their top forces to kill their way here.
“Elder Jiang.”
Jun Changxiao said, “Can you infiltrate?”
“Cannot.”
Jiang Xie shook his head.
He had been waiting outside the Dark Crow Mountain Range early on and had tried to scout with his primordial spirit form, but when extending into the miasma-covered area, he was suddenly dispersed by some kind of power.
The system said, “In the area covered by miasma, spirit sense is difficult to extend into. If the host wants to find the mobile demon sect, it will probably be harder than reaching the heavens.”
“Harder than reaching the heavens?”
Jun Changxiao said, “I really don’t believe it!”
“Swish!”
He waved his hand and took out the treasure-seeking compass-like device, saying, “The Demon Emperor Sect definitely has many treasures. Perhaps I can use this to search for them!”
“Hum!”
His consciousness merged with the treasure-seeking device, and light began to flicker!
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
After a moment, dots of light appeared and all gathered in a certain area.
“As expected!”
Jun Changxiao was overjoyed, “The treasure-seeking device isn’t affected by the miasma!”
System: “…”
It had long gotten used to this kind of thing where right after it finished speaking, it got slapped in the face at divine speed.
“Let’s go.”
Jun Changxiao followed the positioning given by the treasure-seeking device and led everyone deeper in.
After walking for a while, the light dots displayed above suddenly shifted, collectively appearing in the southeast position.
“Looks like they activated the array’s transfer function.”
The Demon Emperor Sect was hidden in the Dark Crow Mountain Range and had an array that could move at any time. Even if others knew about it, trying to find it inside was extremely difficult.
However, Jun Changxiao with the treasure-seeking device in hand didn’t care at all, because no matter how they performed their spatial transposition, as long as the treasures in the sect remained, he would always be able to find them!
…
In the deepest part of the Dark Crow Mountain Range, there was a cluster of buildings.
If Li Qingyang saw it, he would definitely be able to deduce the construction time from the structure and color.
At this moment.
Inside a hall-like building, dozens of masked black-clothed people were gathered.
“Young Master Yuan kept emphasizing not to provoke Eternal Sect, but ended up being injured by that Jun Changxiao. It’s really self-inflicted,” an old-voiced black-clothed person gloated.
“Insisting on pushing the sect out to openly confront famous righteous sects—what a foolish decision.”
“Elder Han, at the previous meeting you strongly supported Young Master Yuan doing this. Why are you suddenly opposing it now?”
“Hmph, as long as it benefits the sect, this old man will support it. As long as it harms the sect, this old man will oppose it!”
To describe fence-sitting so freshly and refinedly—there really was no one else.
“Alright, alright.”
A black-clothed person sitting closest to the main seat said, “This time we’ve gathered you all not to criticize Young Master Yuan, but to discuss what the next step should be.”
“Very simple!”
Elder Han said, “Continue hiding the sect in the shadows and go ambush those self-righteous famous righteous sects.”
“And Eternal Sect.”
Someone said, “This old man believes we can continue executing the previous plan.”
The previous plan was to endlessly target Eternal Sect and target Jun Changxiao, but later it was stopped by Young Master Yuan. Now that the latter had suffered, naturally they couldn’t be restrained anymore.
“That purple-haired fellow could injure and intimidate four Martial Saints, which shows that Eternal Sect has now become a force to be reckoned with. If we want to eliminate it, we’ll probably need to pay some price.”
“Therefore, Young Master Yuan previously stopping us from targeting this sect was completely wrong!”
…
In an elegant courtyard.
Young Master Yuan sat in a pavilion with a pale complexion.
Being hit by Jun Changxiao’s palm was quite refreshing—he still hadn’t completely recovered.
“Young Master.”
A warrior said, “Jiang Lingshen has convened an elder meeting. They’re definitely all targeting you.”
Young Master Yuan shook his head and said, “These old fellows have been waiting to see me make a fool of myself. Now they’ve finally caught their chance.”
“Sigh.”
He sighed and said, “It’s also my fault. I insisted on making Jun Changxiao enemies with the famous righteous sects. In the end, I tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice.”
“Young Master.”
The warrior said, “This old servant believes you’re too wary of this person. If from the beginning you had mobilized forces to destroy this sect, there wouldn’t be so many troublesome matters.”
“Destroy?”
Young Master Yuan shook his head, “A sect that can rise at divine speed—if it didn’t have powerful trump cards, it would have been reduced to ashes long ago.”
“Young Master.” Just then, a black-clothed person walked in and said, “Elder Jiang and the others have rejected your plan and decided to take hard-line measures against Eternal Sect.”
Young Master Yuan clenched his fist and said, “Being able to intimidate four Martial Saints, Eternal Sect’s strength is there for all to see. If this group of old fellows provokes them again, they’re undoubtedly pushing the sect toward a bottomless abyss!”
He was very angry now, because if it weren’t for a group of pig teammates who rashly offended Eternal Sect, he might have reached a consensus with Jun Changxiao at Maple Flower Valley and joined forces against the famous righteous sects!
“Young Master, there’s another matter this old servant needs to report to you.”
“Speak.”
“The brutish man and the others have lost contact.”
“Lost contact?”
The black-clothed person said, “After Young Master was injured by Jun Changxiao, the brutish man and Ghost Charm left. They may have gone to Eternal Sect to avenge you.”
“What?”
Young Master Yuan suddenly stood up. Because of the excessive force, he couldn’t suppress his injury and immediately spat out blood with a ‘wa,’ then said angrily, “A bunch of fellows who accomplish nothing but ruin everything!”
“This old servant was thinking whether to go find them.”
Young Master Yuan forcibly suppressed his anger, supporting himself on the stone table, “How long have they been out of contact?”
“Three days,” the black-clothed person said.
“Sigh.”
Young Master Yuan sat down, the whole person becoming much more haggard, “No need to look for them. They must have died at Eternal Sect.”
“The four people’s soul life slips haven’t shattered.”
“Haven’t shattered?”
Young Master Yuan was startled and said, “Could they have been captured by Eternal Sect?”
The black-clothed person was about to speak when he heard intelligence in his ear, then said, “The latest news from Western South Yang Province—on Eternal Sect’s recruitment day, the brutish man and Ghost Charm came to challenge. They were brutally beaten by Eternal Sect disciples Ye Xingchen and Xiao Zuiji, and the people were also taken up the mountain and never came down again.”
“They were indeed captured!”
Young Master Yuan said, “Not even having a chance to commit suicide…” Suddenly, he realized something, his expression changing drastically, “The brutish man and the others won’t reveal the sect’s location, will they!”
“These four were personally trained by Young Master. They shouldn’t betray the organization, right?” the black-clothed person said.
“No!”
Young Master Yuan said, “If it were other sects, I’d believe the brutish man and the others wouldn’t leak information, but this Jun Changxiao might have a way to force it out of them!”
“Even if forced out, it doesn’t matter.”
The black-clothed person said confidently, “Our sect is hidden in the Dark Crow Mountain Range and has a transfer array. He definitely can’t find it.”
Young Master Yuan’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter, “Jun Changxiao cannot be viewed with common sense. Quickly notify the Elder Hall to have them raise their vigilance. In case he really comes, then…”
“Boom!”
Before he finished speaking, a deafening roar suddenly came from outside the mountain gate. The sect’s great array that had existed invisibly instantly manifested!
“Young Master Yuan.”
“This lord has specially come to visit today!”
Hearing Jun Changxiao’s voice, Young Master Yuan sat on the stone bench with a dazed expression, “This fellow… really found his way here!”
