After dinner, Su Ziwen diligently settled the bill.
Then the three of them left Yahui Xuan and drove straight towards Xiunv Peak.
It was already late, around past nine in the evening.
When Xiao Zheng and the others arrived at Xiunv Peak, the entire mountain stood in the night, revealing a faintly eerie atmosphere.
"Are we two going up later, or should everyone go up together?" Xiao Zheng asked.
He was actually asking Su Zimo this question.
Xiao Zheng knew there were many corpses on the mountain, and he was worried that Su Zimo might have unpleasant mories triggered upon seeing them.
Upon hearing this, Su Zimo, although wanting to stay in the car, gathered her courage and said, "I’ll go up the mountain with you guys. After all, you are here, and you’ll protect ."
"Then just stick by my side later and don’t wander off on your own," Xiao Zheng said.
Before he could finish speaking, Su Zimo had already tightened her hold on his arm.
Then the three of them started to ascend the mountain.
The air faintly held a residual sll of blood, as if narrating the ferocity of last night’s battle.
When the three entered the Lu Family mansion, Su Ziwen imdiately saw the corpses of the twelve Death Soldiers. Even though he had ntally prepared himself, he still got startled upon seeing the bodies suddenly.
"This is just a small scene. When you get to the rear mountain, then you’ll know what real hell looks like," Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
The scene from yesterday, where dried corpses fell from the sky, even when he recalled it now, sent a shiver down his spine.
Su Ziwen seed braver now and said, "It’s fine. I’ve decided anyway that I won’t go back until I see the corpses of Lu Yichen and the Lu Family Ancestor."
Xiao Zheng nodded and then led the brother and sister towards the rear mountain.
However, halfway there, he suddenly felt sothing strange, like soone was secretly watching him. Yet Xiao Zheng was certain that he hadn’t detected any trace of outsiders nearby.
To be on the safe side, Xiao Zheng still said, "Later, rember not to leave my side. After all, this is the Lu Family Ancestor’s retreat. I’m worried there might be traps."
His words mixed truth and falsehood.
The Su siblings did not doubt him and followed closely on his sides.
By now, the three of them had arrived at last night’s battlefield, where the corpses drained of essence by Lu Jingchan still lay on the ground. Seeing this terrifying scene again, Su Zimo’s face turned pale.
As for Su Ziwen, he leaned against a tree and started to retch.
Xiao Zheng saw this and was about to mock him a couple of tis.
However, at that mont, he noticed sothing peculiar—the corpse of the Lu Family Ancestor had disappeared! Xiao Zheng clearly rembered Lu Jingchan’s body was lying by a big tree last night, but today it had vanished into thin air!
This bizarre scene prompted Xiao Zheng to remain on guard!
After searching the surroundings with his gaze for a while, he locked onto a place and sneered, "Co out, everyone! You’re all grown adults, playing hide and seek. Is it childish or not?"
Xiao Zheng’s sudden remark startled the Su siblings.
Su Ziwen hastily approached him, asking, "Brother Xiao, what’s going on with you? Who are you talking to suddenly?"
Although Su Zimo did not speak, she was already clinging tightly to Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng did not answer Su Ziwen. His gaze remained fixed on a certain spot in the forest as he sneered, "Still not coming out? Fine, I’ll count to three. If you don’t co out by then, I’m going to make a move."
As he finished speaking, a long spear, ford by Gang Qi, appeared instantaneously in his hand.
This miraculous scene stunned Su Ziwen.
Even more astonishing to Su Ziwen was, indeed, a group of people erged from the distant forest. There were four people in total, led by a young man dressed very formally.
"Damn!"
"There are really people hiding here!"
Su Ziwen was shocked and couldn’t help but shout curses.
Xiao Zheng, however, looked at the four people who suddenly appeared with interest and mocked, "You finally decided to show yourselves? I thought you wanted to stay hidden like turtles forever."
Clap clap clap~
The young leader clapped hands, smiling with an arrogant expression: "As expected of the Evil God, so skills you have. You can actually see through our Ghost Shadow Mysterious Technique. It’s the ultimate technique of our Fla Demon Sect, concealing movents and aura, but you still managed to break it."
"What bullshit ultimate technique? It’s nothing more than a trick to deceive the eyes." Xiao Zheng said with a smile, "I’m not blind, of course I could see through it. Enough nonsense, who are you people, and what’s your purpose here?"
Hearing this, the young man was not annoyed and responded with a smile, "Since the Evil God is so keen on knowing us, I’ll tell you directly. I am Cao Xuan, the Lesser Sect Master of the Fla Demon Sect. As for the three people beside , they are the three Great Protectors of our sect."
"Fla Demon Sect? Never heard of it." Xiao Zheng said bluntly.
Upon hearing his words, the young man who called himself Cao Xuan chuckled before his face suddenly turned cold: "Our Fla Demon Sect may not be a small sect, but compared to the Evil God’s Sky Net and Martial Arts Alliance, naturally, we’re not famous. Moreover, demon sects don’t usually show off, so it’s normal you haven’t heard of us."
"However, I want to settle an account with the Evil God."
Xiao Zheng smiled and asked, "What account do you want to settle with ? Are you my long-lost son coming this way to recognize your father?"
Pfft.
Su Ziwen couldn’t help but laugh.
Hearing his laughter, a cold murderous intent quickly flickered in the eyes of the three Great Protectors from the Fla Demon Sect. Then releasing their aura, each of them possessed the realm of a Grandmaster.
Xiao Zheng took a step forward to protect the Su siblings from the influence of their aura, then sneered: "Unexpectedly, your Fla Demon Sect’s strength isn’t small, actually sending three Martial Arts Grandmasters to guard you, this Lesser Sect Master."
After hearing him expose the Protectors’ strength, the Su siblings’ faces showed a trace of shock.
The Evil Sword King who slaughtered seven sects in Jiangnan Province overnight back then was a Martial Arts Grandmaster, and the three people behind Cao Xuan now had the sa realm as the Evil Sword King!
Doesn’t this an Cao Xuan’s identity is terrifying?
Thinking of this, Su Ziwen and Su Zimo’s gaze at Cao Xuan changed again!
