Chapter 152: He Can’t Run

Mo Xiu hadn't planned what to do with these Inferno Martial Sect disciples. After all, there were many Inferno Martial Sect disciples nearby, and some of them had reached the Abstruse Form Realm, which was not something he could easily kill at the moment.

That was to say, these people were looking for death on their own, it was impossible to put the blame on him.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

In the blink of an eye, a total of five Inferno Martial Sect disciples stopped Mo Xiu, and everyone was in the Essence Converging Realm.

Mo Xiu snorted coldly, "Looking for death!"

With a slight move of his finger, a sword appeared in his hand, and the terrifying coercion swept away, like a violent ripple of a giant wave, it drowned the five people in an instant.

Seraphic Sword Everlasting!

A sword light burst out as countless sword shadows instantly pierced the bodies of the five people.

"This... Is this the strongest sword skill of the Seraphic Sword Sect?" disbelief was written all over the five people's faces.

"Thud, thud, thud…"

Soon after that, the five people fell to the ground in unison, no breathing could be sensed anymore.

After solving the five people, Mo Xiu immediately ran the Supreme Virtual Art as his figure immediately disappeared.

At this time, several Inferno Martial Sect disciples rushed over.

"It's Junior Brother Luo and the others."

"They're all dead."

"Who is the murderer? That person from the Seraphic Sword Sect?"

"That guy was here just now, why did I suddenly lose his breath?"

Several people were talking with each other while their eyes searched all around.

After a while, everyone's eyes fell on one of the Inferno Martial Sect disciples.

"Senior Brother Zhang, what should we do now?" someone asked after a while.

Senior Brother Zhang's name was Zhang Jun; his cultivation had reached the Early-stage of the Abstruse Form Realm. He had the highest cultivation base among the Inferno Martial Sect disciples present and was also the focus of everyone's attention.

He didn't answer right away, but extended his Divine Consciousness, searched carefully, and found no trace of Mo Xiu, so he took out a milky white bead.

The brilliance flowed on the beads, there should have been a little black spot, but now that black spot disappeared, which made him very puzzled.

It took a long time before he said, "He can't run, continue to search! He must be found by even if we have to dig ten feet to the ground. If he's alive, let his breath be seen; if he's dead, let his corpse be seen!"

Upon hearing this, a group of Inferno Martial Sect disciples scattered in twos and threes, searching for Mo Xiu's figure.

Although Mo Xiu used the Supreme Virtual Art to hide his figure, he did not leave immediately, but secretly observed it not far from Zhang Mo.

At this moment, he was already certain that the people of Inferno Martial Sect found him through that bead.

As for where the bead came from and why it possessed such power, it would be known after further investigation.

In the case of using the Supreme Virtual Art, even if there was that bead, the people of Inferno Martial Sect would not be able to find him. Otherwise, Zhang Jun would let the other people scatter to find him like that.

Since he couldn't be found, it was not a problem.

The most urgent task at the moment was to find a place to improve his cultivation base, and by the way explore Huang Fei's soul, and derive some useful information from Huang Fei's soul, so as to clarify the actions of Inferno Martial Sect.

Mo Xiu had seen "Spirit Island's Secrets" and knew the conditions of the known places on Spirit Island. So with his magnificent Divine Consciousness, he soon came down into a cave in hiding.

This cave was called Sun Grain Cave. According to the introduction of "Spirit Island's Secrets", a powerful cultivator died in this cave, leaving behind a large number of training resources after his death.

Now, those cultivation resources had already been taken away by others, and the corpse of that cultivator was not even visible in the cave. Except for dust in many places, it was still clean, just suitable for Mo Xiu to cultivate in seclusion.

Mo Xiu put a few seals on the entrance of the cave to prevent others from breaking in, then took out the Shadow Soul Orb and grabbed Huang Fei's soul from the inside.

After performing the Soul Search Secret Technique, Huang Fei's memory was discovered by Mo Xiu's investigation. Many things that he didn't understand before now revealed its true self before him.

For example, in the original incident where he killed the Inferno Martial Sect disciples and the people of the Seraphic Sword Sect except Shao Jianbo, as Shao Jianbo died in the hands of Shi Yichen. It stood to reason that no one except the people of the Seraphic Sword Sect would be able to know that this matter was related to Mo Xiu.

After checking Huang Fei's memory, he learned that Shi Yichen and others thought they had discovered a treasure land. So they ordered people to use Blazing Bird to send a letter to Inferno Martial Sect, and when reporting the news, they also mentioned Seraphic Sword Sect.

However, at that time, they did not specifically mention who they encountered from the Seraphic Sword Sect, and Inferno Martial Sect didn't take it seriously.

After that, a group of Inferno Martial Sect disciples suddenly disappeared, and even that Elder Wei Ying who went to hunt and kill Mo Xiu also disappeared, which caused Inferno Martial Sect's attention.

At that time, the Sect Master of the Inferno Martial Sect did not act rashly. Instead, he left the sect and went to the Arcane Truth Sect, and brought back some beads, which were the kind used by Zhang Jun earlier.

That kind of bead was something especially refined by the Arcane Truth Sect. That bead had two functions, one was to find the target, and the other was to track the target.

The Inferno Martial Sect disciples had only seen Mo Xiu for the first time before, but they could immediately discover that Mo Xiu was a participant in that incident, the effect of the beads refined by Xuanji Sect.

After that, Huang Fei was able to find Mo Xiu in a very short time, and even Inferno Martial Sect disciples came one after another, which was also the effect of beads.

If the Supreme Virtual Art was not powerful enough, Mo Xiu was afraid he would not be able to avoid them at all.

Mo Xiu was still very interested in that bead refined by the Arcane Truth Sect, but unfortunately, he only used the Shadow Soul Orb to collect Huang Fei's soul. He never thought about taking away other things from Huang Fei, otherwise, he should be able to find that beads and learn the principle of use of that bead.

According to Huang Fei's memory, the sudden addition of the teleportation function of the light curtain had nothing to do with Inferno Martial Sect, but the Inferno Martial Sect people were the first to arrive. After arriving, some changes occurred before the flying ship of the Seraphic Sword Sect arrived.

At that time, the Sect Master of the Inferno Martial Sect made a survey and made a guess, saying that when Spirit Island was opened, people would be scattered and teleported, and he also taught his disciples how to deal with the scattered teleportation.

The Seraphic Sword Sect, Sky Blade Sect, Jasper Blossom Sect, and other forces that came later did not know that this year's Spirit Island had undergone subtle changes because they had not experienced that change, so they did not remind the disciples in the sect to deal with it carefully.

After exploring Huang Fei's memory, many doubts in Mo Xiu's heart had been answered.

But there was one piece of information that Mo Xiu failed to grasp. After that incident happened, the Inferno Martial Sect's lord went to the Arcane Truth Sect and retrieved many beads. But what did the Inferno Martial Sect's lord say or do in the Arcane Truth Sect? How could he get back so many beads? In this trial on Spirit Island, had Inferno Martial Sect and Arcane Truth Sect reached cooperation?

According to Mo Xiu's first impression, Arcane Truth Sect was not like a sect that would cooperate with other forces, but no one could say such things.

If the two sects reached cooperation, then Mo Xiu would not only face disciples of Inferno Martial Sect and Sky Blade Sect in Spirit Island, but also an extra Arcane Truth Sect. It was necessary to prevent the Arcane Truth Sect from stabbing a knife in secret.

The most troublesome thing was that those people from the Arcane Truth had the ability to deduce the truth. It was estimated those beads could find and track the target was also related to the special ability of the Arcane Truth Sect people.

Even if the two sects really cooperated, it was impossible for all the disciples of the two sects to know it. Only a few people should know it. Therefore, even if Mo Xiu searched the soul of Huang Fei, there would be no satisfactory and comforting result.

But since he knew that there was such a possibility, no matter what the truth was, he would only treat it as collusion between two sects, and he would respond in advance before a bad result happened.

Before that, he had to upgrade his cultivation to the Late-stage of the Profound Spirit Realm. It had been nearly ten days since the last breakthrough. On the way from the Seraphic Sword Sect to Spirit Island in the flying ship, he had been steadily developing a solid foundation in his cultivation. There would be no problems with breakthroughs.

He put the sword in his hand aside, sat down cross-legged, and used Universe's Origin Heavenly Art to absorb the Spiritual Energy around him.

The True Energy in his Dantian rose little by little, and soon, an internal explosion resounded throughout Mo Xiu's body. His cultivation easily broke through from the Middle-stage of the Profound Spirit Realm to the Late-stage of the Profound Spirit Realm.

After the breakthrough, he did not leave Sun Grain Cave immediately, but washed the True Energy remaining in every corner of his body during the breakthrough over and over again, and patiently solidified his foundation.

...

Somewhere in Spirit Island.

The three people of Inferno Martial Sect and the three people of Arcane Truth Sect secretly met.

The cultivation bases of the leaders of both parties had reached the Great Perfection-stage of the Abstruse Form Realm, and they were also the general leaders of the Spirit Island Trial of their respective sects.

Among them, the leader from Inferno Martial Sect was named Zhu Wutao, and the leader from Arcane Truth Sect was named Wang Xian.

"The people of the Seraphic Sword Sect should be very dazed now, they can just be caught off guard by us," Zhu Wutao arced his lips slightly.

"If they knew that our two sects had joined forces, they would be even more at a loss," Wang Xian smiled.

Zhu Wutao: "This time, regarding the Spirit Island's change, have you figured out something?"

"No," Wang Xian shook his head slightly. "Although our Arcane Truth can know the secrets of heaven, it is not all-powerful, but apart from the additional function of the light curtain, there is no other difference, presumably it has little effect."

Zhu Wutao lowered his head to think about it, and nodded, "Yes, it shouldn't be a big deal, let's deal with the people of Seraphic Sword Sect first."

As he said, he seemed to remember something, "Before this, I hope you can help find someone."

"Looking for someone?" Wang Xian was a little confused.

"It's the person I mentioned earlier. He killed several of our Inferno Martial Sect juniors. He should be alive, but the Arcane Spirit Orb can't find him," Zhu Wutao explained.

Wang Xian was a little surprised, but didn't take it seriously, and told a female disciple next to him, "Junior Sister Xu, you go with them and try to conceal your identity."

Junior sister Xu's name was Xu Yan. She nodded and said confidently, "Leave it to me, I will take action to ensure that he can't run."
