Chapter 243: Hiding Place

Northern Yuan Kingdom, this was a secular country under the control of the Inferno Martial Sect, and was connected to the Qi Kingdom which under the control of the Seraphic Sword Sect. The two secular countries were separated by a tall mountain called Spring Mountain Range.

Both Qi and Northern Yuan had the same legend. It was said that their ancestors all walked out of the Spring Mountain Range to establish a country, and only Qi and Northern Yuan existed.

It was precisely because of this that these peaks of the Spring Mountain Range were regarded as holy places by the people of the two countries. Unless the emperors of the two countries made sacrifices, no one was allowed to enter the Spring Mountain Range at any time. Once discovered, they would be regarded as criminals.

The main peak of the Spring Mountain Range was called Blooming Spring Peak, which had a height of several thousand meters, which was not lower than the main peak of Inferno Spirit Mountain.

Even the rituals of the emperors of Qi and Northern Yuan were not on Blooming Spring Peak, so there were almost no people on Blooming Spring Peak.

However, now, thousands of people had gathered on Blooming Spring Peak to start construction work.

These people were not others, but the people of Inferno Martial Sect who came to hide.

Inferno Martial Sect's acting Sect Master was a woman. She looked like a woman in her 20s or 30s, but she had actually lived for two or three hundred years, and she could be regarded as the most powerful woman in Inferno Martial Sect.

One hundred years ago, the former Sect Master of Inferno Martial Sect went into danger while cultivating, and this woman competed with the current Sect Master for the position of the Sect Master, almost even surpassing the current Sect Master.

However, the current Sect Master of Inferno Martial Sect was also a remarkable figure, directly destroying her strategy and letting her withdraw from the contention. After his position was stable, the acting Sect Master actually became the wife of the Sect Master.

With the Inferno Martial Sect's lord trapped on Spirit Island, the acting Sect Master was undoubtedly the Inferno Martial Sect's acting Sect Master.

This was a very decisive woman.

Abandoning the ancestral ground of Inferno Martial Sect and taking the entire sect to escape to the Spring Mountain Range and hiding in the Blooming Spring Peak, was also the decision made by acting Sect Master.

Originally, many people in the sect were dissatisfied with this decision, but then, the news of the Sky Blade Sect came. After learning that the Sky Blade Sect was destroyed, those who were originally dissatisfied had to admire the acting Sect Master's wise decision.

The mountain defensive array couldn't stop Mo Xiu at all. Only by fleeing their den and finding a place where no one knew could they escape Mo Xiu's liquidation temporarily.

Of course, they didn't plan to take root completely in the Spring Mountain Range. They just planned to hide for a while. When the storm passed and Mo Xiu's threat was resolved, they would leave Blooming Spring Peak and return to Inferno Spirit Mountain.

Although only hiding for a while, there was still a place to live, but acting Sect Master did not need to do things like building a residence.

At this moment, she was looking at the news that the spies sent.

Several powerful elders gathered around her, waiting for her instructions.

For a long time, the acting Sect Master sighed, "It has been a long time since we sent them out to investigate the movement."

"The last time they came back, it was said that Mo Xiu entered the Inferno Spirit Mountain, and he discovered that we escaped from the Inferno Spirit Mountain. Is it possible that our spies were discovered by Mo Xiu?" An elder said with a frown.

"There is no news so far. The possibility of being discovered is very high. However, the spies don't know where we are hiding. Even if Mo Xiu discovers them, it's impossible to know that we are hiding in the Blooming Spring Peak of the Spring Mountain Range. So we shouldn't worry about Mo Xiu being able to come here," another elder analyzed.

The acting Sect Master nodded lightly, "I'm not worried. We have done it so secretly. No matter how superbly his methods are, Mo Xiu can't find this place. However, to avoid mistakes, try to minimize contact with external parties for the next period of time."

Everyone nodded, feeling quite reasonable.

But before the acting Sect Master made the next deployment, a loud clunk rang like thunder.

"It's not good, Mo Xiu is here!" An Inferno Martial Sect disciple hurriedly reported.

"What!?"

The acting Sect Master and others were stunned.

Obviously, they did it so secretly, how did Mo Xiu find here, how did he find them?

Did Mo Xiu have the ability to deduce things like the Arcane Truth Sect? Or was it that the Arcane Truth Sect told Mo Xiu where they were hiding?

But even if the people of the Arcane Truth Sect had the ability to calculate, they should not be able to calculate their current hiding place at all.

How the hell did he do it?

"Go, let's take a look!"

The acting Sect Master waved her hand, leading a group of elders to fly away in the direction where the roar came.

In the blink of an eye, a figure appeared in the sight of everyone, it was Mo Xiu that they had just discussed.

"Sure enough, it is him!"

Everyone couldn't help but take a cold breath.

Mo Xiu's eyes swept around and soon fell on the acting Sect Master.

He could not name the acting Sect Master, but according to the pictures he calculated, she was absolutely the acting Sect Master.

Before he could say anything, an elder on the opposite side suddenly said, "Your Excellency, why do you want to kill our Spring Gale Village?"

"Spring Gale Village?" Mo Xiu was slightly surprised.

Although none of these people wore Inferno Martial Sect costumes, according to the results he calculated, this was their hiding place. These people standing in front of him should all be the Inferno Martial Sect people. How come they suddenly turned into Spring Gale villagers?

As his thoughts turned, he reacted suddenly and snorted coldly, "Want to treat me as a fool? Do you think I don't know that you are of the Inferno Martial Sect?"

As he said, the Profound Void Blade appeared in his hand, and a black light jumped out, penetrating through space, and falling on that elder.

"No…!"

After a scream, that elder was easily cut in half like a piece of leaf.

The acting Sect Master was shocked, and said quickly, "Young Master Mo has misunderstood, we never thought of fooling you."

"Oh? What do you mean by Spring Gale Village just now?" Mo Xiu looked at everyone with aggressive eyes.

The acting Sect Master's thoughts turned sharply, and she quickly replied, "There were originally some people from Spring Gale Village who were just collected by our Inferno Martial Sect. Those people don't understand the rules. Please forgive us, Young Master Mo."

Mo Xiu glanced at the acting Sect Master, "I went to Inferno Spirit Mountain to look for you, but there was no one there. Instead, I found you here. Are you all here to destroy the small Spring Gale Village?"

The acting Sect Master had a numb scalp and bit her teeth and said, "Young Master Mo's vision is like a god."

Mo Xiu was naturally not a fool, he was not so easy to fool, but he was not angry either, "Who are from Spring Gale Village?"

"This…"

The acting Sect Master suddenly hesitated. After all, Spring Gale Village was purely fabricated, and she couldn't just say that she was from the Spring Gale Village.

Even if she thought it was okay, the person who was identified would not be able to answer. After all, she said that she came here to kill them.

Mo Xiu clearly knew that there was no Spring Gale Village, so he didn't plan to wait for acting Sect Master to identify it.

After only a short while, he decided to help these people to add more things to the lie coldly, "Since you don't say anything, I will assume that Spring Gale Village is a den full of bandits, everyone here is a bandit of the Spring Gale Village."

The acting Sect Master was shocked and quickly said, "If Young Master Mo is not satisfied with the people of the Spring Gale Village, we will clean them up immediately." Then, she took the initiative and killed many disciples and deacons nearby.

After killing more than a dozen people, she returned to her original position and said to Mo Xiu, "Young Master Mo, I have killed all the thieves of the Spring Gale Village."

Mo Xiu nodded lightly, did not delve into it, and continued to ask, "Back then, the Arcane Truth Sect asked you to join forces to besiege the Seraphic Sword Sect, who made the decision to agree?"

It was definitely the acting Sect Master who could make the decision, but the acting Sect Master did not take the initiative to admit it, nor did she wait for others to recognize it. Instead, she looked at an elder beside her.

That elder immediately realized that he had become a scapegoat, and said quickly, "It's not..."

Before he could say the next word, a bloom of purple flame flickered, and the acting Sect Master slapped him with a palm.

"Boom!"

After a blast, the purple flames radiated violently, swallowing the body of that elder violently, burning him into nothingness in the blink of an eye.

"The person who agreed to the decision has been shot to death," the acting Sect Master retracted her hand and said to Mo Xiu.

Mo Xiu's eyes flickered, staring at the acting Sect Master for a while, and then said, "This is not right, isn't it? You are the acting Sect Master of Inferno Martial Sect, without your permission, would other people really dare to go out to mess around like that?"

"At that time, I was not the acting Sect Master of Inferno Martial Sect," the acting Sect Master explained, "but if Young Master Mo wants to kill me, I have nothing to say."

"Since there is nothing to say, then you go to death!" Mo Xiu said, with a wave of the Profound Void Blade in his hand, a gloomy and cold light instantly fell on the acting Sect Master.

The acting Sect Master didn't expect Mo Xiu to start so suddenly. Fortunately, she was also quite fast, but a deep scratch still appeared on her body, and blood poured out frantically.

"Mo Xiu, I have endured everything, but you still refuse to let me go. In that case, don't blame me!" The acting Sect Master swiftly became angry and waved her hand.

At the same time, she ran her True Energy to stop the bleeding and rushed towards Mo Xiu first.

Everyone in Inferno Martial Sect, from the elders to the disciples, no longer talked with Mo Xiu Xu. They all used their fists and rushed toward Mo Xiu without fear of death.

Flames of various colors erupted, causing the temperature of the entire Blooming Spring Peak to rise, making this peak like an ocean of fire.

Mo Xiu originally planned to kill only a group of people and control others with the Nether Talisman, but it seemed that these people didn't intend to live. In that case, he didn't mind making these people perfect.

With just a thought, his figure vanished, and then a hundred-foot-high golem appeared.

"Roar…"

A dull holler came from far away.

However, everyone was not deterred, and acting Sect Master even seemed to be a little excited, as if she had been waiting for Mo Xiu to display the Empyrean Demon Body.
