Chapter 291

~10 min read 1,979 words

The golden giant bear phantom roared, and he had already come behind Qian Kuan like a ghost, but the palm force of Destroying Mountains and Breaking Peaks was slapped out again.

"Boom!"

The air roared dully, creating visible ripples. Before Qian Kuan could turn around, the golden palm had already slapped his back.

"Crack!"

Like pulling a radish, Qian Kuan, who had already fallen into the mud, was blasted out of the ground alive, his spine was broken, his upper body and lower body were folded, and he fell to the ground a few zhang away.

The black true qi dissipated, and Qian Kuan was already dead.

Picking up the leather bag that fell on the ground, Xu Yang didn't delay at all, picked up Qian Kuan's body and rushed to the distance.

After running wildly for two quarters of an hour, until he encountered a bottomless mountain cave, he threw the already looted body into the cave.

He began to take a detour around the Fire Valley, and after a quarter of an hour, he stopped in a secret place.

"So much spirit iron!"

He opened the leather bag, only to see a dozen or twenty pieces of spirit iron of various sizes, all of which were purified. Looking at this quantity, it was enough to forge two spirit weapons.

"The Blood Lotus Sect finally made a wedding dress for me this time, but my cultivation is exposed, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

He didn't plan to hand these spirit irons back. These were things he snatched from the hands of the Blood Lotus Sect demons, so they were naturally his.

"Things are good things, the value is immeasurable, but they can't be used for the time being, and they can't be sold. I can only wait until I learn to forge spirit weapons to use them."

There was also a semi-spirit weapon!

The blade Qian Kuan carried on his back was also a semi-spirit weapon, but he wasn't sure if this blade was Qian Kuan's own, or a trophy obtained from the Third Senior Brother or Fourth Senior Brother. It couldn't be exposed for the time being.

If he hadn't ambushed and killed Qian Kuan, it would inevitably have been a bitter battle.

Finding a secret and easy-to-remember place, Xu Yang dug a deep pit and buried these spirit irons and the semi-spirit weapon, waiting to take them later.

Immediately after, he made himself look embarrassed, even gritted his teeth and slapped himself, operating his energy to force blood out of his mouth.

Just after finishing these, the sound of signal fireworks exploding came from the direction of the Earth Vein Fire Valley.

He didn't rush to rush over, looked at the silver notes he looted, about a thousand taels, not much.

He couldn't recognize the pills in that bottle.

"Boom!"

Another explosion came from the direction of the Earth Vein Fire Valley, and then he stood up slowly and rushed to the Fire Valley from another direction.

"If everyone is dead, then no one should know that I have minor accomplishment in marrow-cleansing. I'll act according to the situation in a while."

After walking for a while, the sound of wind breaking came from the forest, and two figures appeared before his eyes.

"You actually didn't die!"

The people who came were actually Lu Ren, and the other was Yang Song who lived next door to him. Seeing that Xu Yang was still alive, both were shocked.

When they rushed to the Earth Vein Fire Valley, they only saw corpses everywhere and thought everyone was dead.

Xu Yang's face was pale, with blood stains at the corners of his mouth, and he smiled bitterly: "Almost died."

Lu Ren's eyes were cold: "Do you know in which direction those people from the Blood Lotus Sect fled?"

Xu Yang shook his head: "I was chased and killed by an expert. After getting rid of him, I hid."

Lu Ren nodded: "You go back to the Earth Vein Fire Valley yourself. We still have to search for the enemy's tracks. It's safe there now."

Xu Yang said in a deep voice: "How many people survived?"

Yang Song sighed and said: "The only ones who survived so far are you. Your Third Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Brother, and Zhuang Tao are all dead."

Parting from the two, Xu Yang rushed to the Earth Vein Fire Valley all the way, and from afar, he saw Gao Lin sitting alone in the Fire Valley with his robes stained with blood.

Behind him was a row of neatly arranged corpses.

Xu Yang counted, a total of twenty-three corpses, which meant that except for him, everyone else was dead.

"Junior Brother Xu, it's great that you're still alive." Seeing Xu Yang, Gao Lin showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

Twenty-three, twenty-three people died in total. Only Xu Yang was missing, and this time the whole army was wiped out.

In addition to twenty-three lives, the spirit iron used as bait was also taken away. The Purple Sun Gate could be said to have suffered heavy losses.

"Is your injury okay?"

Xu Yang shook his head: "My injury will be fine after resting for a few days. Senior Brother Gao, how did it turn into this?"

Gao Lin showed a wry smile: "Master and I were actually hiding nearby. We rushed over as soon as we saw you send the signal, but unfortunately, these plans were seen through by the Blood Lotus Sect people. They brought a Heaven Origin realm Lotus Messenger."

Xu Yang had nothing to say. To the Blood Lotus Sect, the Purple Sun Gate was practically like a sieve. The plan formulated by Elder Huoyun was easily seen through, and so many people died.

"Lotus Messenger!"

His heart moved. When the black-robed Blood Messenger with major accomplishment in marrow-cleansing appeared, the other person said that he was the target that the Lotus Messenger ordered must be killed.

"Where is Master? Is he okay? Did he slaughter that Lotus Messenger?" Xu Yang asked with concern.

Gao Lin shook his head: "How could the Lotus Messenger be so easy to kill? Master was injured and has already returned to the sect to rest."

Xu Yang was shocked. Was the Lotus Messenger that fierce? Even Elder Huoyun was injured.

The two talked for a while, and Gao Lin said: "Junior Brother Xu, tell me in detail about the process of the matter here. When I go back, I can report it to the sect."

Xu Yang's heart sank, and he reacted.

Out of twenty-four people, only he survived. The Third Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Brother with major accomplishment in marrow-cleansing were both dead, but he, a person who had just entered marrow-cleansing, didn't die. If things went wrong, he might be treated as being in the same group as the Blood Lotus Sect.

"The first to be attacked were the Third Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Brother hiding in the dark. Senior Brother Zhuang and I heard the movement of their fighting and ran out of the fire cave. Soon, a group of people also appeared here and fought with us."

Xu Yang told the truth except for his own cultivation: "I killed one of their experts and thought I could turn the situation around, but they brought another expert, and I was no match for the opponent.

Support was late to arrive, and at this time the Fourth Senior Brother was seriously injured, so Senior Brother Zhuang and I broke through and fled for our lives.

I fled into the forest and finally got rid of the Blood Lotus Sect expert. As for what happened later, I don't know.

By the way, where is that body?"

Gao Lin shook his head: "It should have been taken away."

When they arrived here, they did find that there was blood in one place, but there was no body. What Xu Yang said did match the situation they saw when they arrived.

He believed that Xu Yang was not a dark agent of the Blood Lotus Sect, but when it was reported up, he didn't know if the high-level members of the sect would believe it.

Two with major accomplishment in marrow-cleansing, one with minor accomplishment in marrow-cleansing, including Qiao Yong, the first of the Ten Heroes. Three of the Outer Sect Ten Heroes died this time, plus a batch of spirit iron.

The high-level members of the sect might want to find someone to take the blame.

The two waited for about an hour, and the disciples like Lu Ren who went to search for the enemy's tracks returned one after another, but found nothing.

They dug a big pit, buried Qiao Yong and others on the spot, and a group of people returned to the Purple Sun Gate.

That day, the entire Purple Sun Gate was shaken, and everyone knew that a group of people had died in the sect.

The Outer Sect disciples didn't know what had happened, but they knew that including Qiao Yong, three of the Ten Hero geniuses had died at once, and a total of eighteen Outer Sect disciples had died.

"It's good that we listened to Senior Brother Xu."

When Qiu Wenjie and Tian Li learned of this news, they only felt their backs go cold and were almost scared to pee.

Eighteen people, not eighteen pigs, died just like that.

If it weren't for Xu Yang persuading them, they would have died too.

"...This is all the process that Junior Brother Xu said."

In Elder Huoyun's Great Hall, Gao Lin repeated Xu Yang's words.

Elder Huoyun's face was pale, his aura was weak, and he said softly: "How much of what he said do you think is true?"

Gao Lin said: "This disciple feels that Junior Brother Xu didn't lie. What he said is about the same as the situation I checked."

"You don't think he is a dark agent of the Blood Lotus Sect? So many people, including your Third Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Brother, died, but he, who just entered marrow-cleansing, survived. Don't you think it's too coincidental?"

Gao Lin sighed in his heart. Master really started to suspect that Junior Brother Xu had a problem.

"This disciple doesn't think Junior Brother Xu is a dark agent. He has always been cautious. I guess he fled first and survived. If he were really a person of the Blood Lotus Sect, the Blood Lotus Sect wouldn't be stupid enough to leave only him as a survivor, making us suspect him.

And he almost never leaves the sect, which doesn't look like something a dark agent would do."

Elder Huoyun was stunned: "This statement does make some sense. However, whether he is a Blood Lotus Sect dark agent or not will soon be clear. You keep an eye on him recently."

Gao Lin was shocked: "Master means..."

Murderous intent seeped from Elder Huoyun's eyes: "The Sect Master is enraged and has already asked the Peak Master of Beast King Peak to come out of seclusion. The Blood Lotus Sect has successively killed many people of my Purple Sun Gate. They really think that by hiding in a drainage ditch, the Purple Sun Gate can't do anything about them."

Hearing this, Gao Lin was greatly encouraged: "With the Peak Master of Beast King Peak taking action, these animals will have nowhere to hide."

Elder Huoyun waved his hand and said: "This matter cannot be revealed to the outside. You go down, and go give Xu Yang the contribution points he deserves."

Gao Lin nodded, cupped his hands and exited the Great Hall.

"Xu Yang, it's this animal again!"

In a mountain cave in the Yunling Mountain Range, Zhang Sai looked at Li Shao's body with only half a head left and gritted his teeth.
