Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 850 – Tragic and Miserable
The mountain peaks around Mount Qingcheng are green all season long. Its peaks stand tall in a ring-like shape, like city streets with green and green trees, deserving its resplendent reputation as “Qingcheng, quiet place and secluded land under sky”.
Walking up and down through the mountains on a rough and bumpy path proved to be quite difficult with everyone having to walk slower as some of the people in the group were ordinary humans, while the howls of wild animals came floating in the air from time to time as night fell. Wang Tao repeatedly climbed the mountain to Qingcheng Monastery and did not worry about the situation in the mountains at night. Zhang Xinyue, on the other hand, had lived in a big city since his childhood and had never spent a night in the old forest in the deep mountain, so scared and agitated.
“You ... can you stop following me all the time?”
Just as Tang Xiu walked out of the diagonal narrow mountain path, he found Zhang Xinyue following him closely as if she was afraid Tang Xiu would leave her alone.
Zhang Xinyue took her steps faster and used the faint moonlight in the sky to reach out and grab Tang Xiu's arm. He anxiously watched his surroundings and asked anxiously, “Where are you going? Don't leave me. ”
“Sorry, Miss. Can't I take the time to pee?” Tang Xiu forced a smile and said, “Stay here with everyone. I'll be right back.”
“Uh ...” Zhang Xinyue's face flushed red, but fortunately, it was night and no one else was present. After rushing back to Mo Awu's group, he picked up a stone as big as a fist and gripped it tightly.
After a while, Tang Xiu returned to the group when he saw the dark path ahead before saying in a deep voice, “Let's walk down the street. We will try to rush to our previous destination. ”
“Can't we rest again, Brother Tang?” Wang Tao grinned even though bitter, and said, “We are a little too tired to continue climbing the mountain.”
Tang Xiu was silent for a while. Then he turned to look at Zhang Xinyue and said in a deep voice, “Please promise me one thing.”
“What is it?” Zhang Xinyue was confused.
“We come to this mountain now, but you must forget whatever you saw and heard after you left Mount Qingcheng; never mentioned anything that happened here to anyone, “ Tang Xiu said.
“Do you need to keep it a secret?” Zhang Xinyue wondered. “Ah, that's right. You said that you should go and deal with some matters at Qingcheng Mountain Monastery Qingcheng. What exactly do you want to do there? Also, was this Qingcheng Monastery like those sects in ancient times? ”
“There is no need for you to know this issue for now,” Tang Xiu said. “If you promise to keep this a secret, I will take you there, but if you cannot, Jin Shi will send you back now.”
Zhang Xinyue looked hesitant but then helplessly replied, “Alright, I promise you.”
Tang Xiu nodded and quickly pointed to Mo Awu. The latter then grabbed to grab Wang Tao's shoulder and dashed forward, while Tang Xiu quickly caught Zhang Xinyue's slender waist and flashed along the way forward.
“Ah..”
Hugged by Tang Xiu, the masculine scent emanating from it made Zhang Xinyue's heart beat faster. He could not help but exclaim when he saw the scenery on both sides retreating rapidly and blurred as they moved.
“Do not make a fuss, just hold me tight.” Tang Xiu continued running and accelerated his pace.
After a moment of bewilderment, Zhang Xinyue's stunning face was filled with disbelief as she was shocked to see the retreating and blurred scene on both sides of her gaze, as well as the sound of wind whistling in her ears.
“Are they superhuman, or martial arts masters?”
Judging from his sight, Zhang Xinyue could tell that their travel speed was extremely fast. He could see that even a sprinter at the national level would not be able to run as fast as Tang Xiu and Mo Awu.
Four hours later, when Tang Xiu and the others stopped at the top of the mountain, they could see the flames in front looming into the sky, while chirping, roaring, wailing, and the howls of countless wild animals and birds came from afar in the mountain forest.
“What can happen in front, Wang Tao?” Tang Xiu frowned as his sharp eyes had seen some buildings engulfed in raging flames, and he even had a bad premonition.
Wang Tao himself was very dizzy when Mo Awu lowered him. He sighed a few times before slowly turning his gaze upwards. When he saw the fire ahead, he shouted in fear, “Heaven! It was the outer hall of Qingcheng Monastery in front. Damn, how can a fire burn in the middle of the night? ”
“Who are you?”
Suddenly, Mo Awu shouted as his burly physique flashed towards the bushes on the left. The dagger in his hand reflected the moonlight that shone through the gap between the branches and the leaves as the cold light flashed and pierced through the lurker's left shoulder.
“ENEMY ATTACK!” Shouted the ambusher, followed by several silhouettes that flashed in the bushes. At the same time, Mo Awu's big hand caught the throat of the lurker like a steel clamp.
Whooshing sound!
At that moment, Mo Awu flashed and returned to Tang Xiu's side. Tang Xiu looked at the man who was gripped by the throat wearing black clothes and asked, “Who are you?”
“Cackle, cackle ..”
Some strange sounds came out from the man's throat. In just a few seconds after three black-clothed men appeared around him, blood seeped out of his mouth as his breathing weakened and he finally died when he was gripped by his neck in Mo Awu's hands.
“Suicide by poison, yes?” A cold light enveloped Tang Xiu's eyes. It was kind of ridiculous for him to see this. It was so unexpected and strange that there was someone who could be so powerful and had the ability to train such death squads in today's society.
Tang Xiu narrowed and coldly snorted, “Hmph, I'm the one who wants to ask who you are. What exactly happened to the Qingcheng Monastery in front? ”
The black-clothed man looked at Tang Xiu and said, “I guess you're not a member of Qingcheng Monastery. If so, you better run away; don't interfere in our business. We will flood the Qingcheng Monastery with blood today and anyone who dares to interfere with us should be buried with them! ”
Washing Qingcheng Monastery with blood?
Tang Xiu's expression changed and his figure flickered and instantly appeared in front of the black-clothed man. His hand gripped the man's neck as he instantly unleashed his long sword to pierce the chests of the other two.
“Awu, take poison pills in his mouth.”
“Roger!”
Mo Awu quickly executed Tang Xiu's orders and pulled out a thin silk thread from the black-clothed man's teeth. The thread was connected to a dark green poison capsule the size of a grain of rice.
Tang Xiu sealed the man's acupoints in black and interrogated him with a cold expression, “I gave you one last chance. Take out your identity and why do you want to wash Qingcheng School with blood. ”
The man could clearly sense that he had lost control of his body. He even lost the ability to move his fingers even though he exerted his strength to try it. The fear on his face, however, disappeared in an instant. He even replied rudely, “You want to squeeze an answer from me? The fucking dream continues! You will know who our leader will be, and that will be the moment when you cannot survive or die! ”
Tang Xiu flipped his hand and sent streams of qi into the body of the black-skinned man while also using sealing arts on him as he said, “Then let me give you a taste when you can't survive or die just yet.”
“Aaargh ..” heart-wrenching and painful screams come from the man's mouth. The body that had lost control over him twitched and trembled from the pain that he had never imagined experiencing even in his dreams.
“I know how to fix the medicine. Even I can take out dying from the gates of hell, ” Tang Xiu said in a grim tone. “I once measured that a human being can live for at least 7 days while experiencing this kind of pain, while the medicine I can strain will add three more days, he said, you will live up to 10 days. Therefore, you may choose not to answer My questions, but be prepared to face the next 10 days in your most difficult endurance. ”
10 days?
The man in black could tell that he would not be able to hold it for a moment. Such an enormous pain feeling came from his soul, causing his consciousness to nearly collapse.
What exactly is this pain that can make death so much better than life?
Only at this moment did the black-clothed man feel such a sensation for the first time in his life.
Tang Xiu took out a cigarette without him noticing his own actions. He fell in thought before flicking a cigarette at Jin Shi's hand and then said, “Think carefully and if you want to tell Me the answer, then blink your eyes a few times. Ehh... You blinked so fast? Your will is a bit ridiculous like that! ”
With that said, he reached out and stroked a few taps on the black-clothed man's body. By the time the man's body gradually stopped the spasms and the pain on his face subsided, he carefully ordered, “Exit now! Else, you'll have your next chance like this 30 minutes later. ”
“Can you kill me immediately if I tell you?”
“Very interesting. The death squad that was determined to die, huh? “Tang Xiu nodded and said,” Alright, I promise you to have a clean and fast death. ”
The black-clothed man looked relaxed and quickly said, “Our leader is a cultivator. I don't know his school's bloodline, nor do I know where he learned his skills from, but he's good at using poison. They took us to Mount Qingcheng to take their revenge on the Qingcheng school. There is news that the Qingcheng Monastery killed four brothers of our two leaders. ”
A vendetta?
Tang Xiu frowned. He had never expected that for the Red Silk Flower, he would first encounter a poisoning incident at a lunch banquet at the opening ceremony of the sale of the Emperor Gold Cup dome complex. And now he had even discovered an incident where the Qingcheng Monastery took revenge on him.
‘Looks like I have to protect Qingcheng Abbey. The most important thing was to keep uncle Wang Tao alive. Moreover, it would be very difficult for Me to have a breakthrough in my cultivation in the near future if the Red Silk Flower fell in the hands of another cultivator by accident. ”
Tang Xiu took a deep breath before he sent a slap to kill the black-clothed man. Then he said in a heavy voice, “Xue Sha, Hey Xiong, you two should stay here to protect their safety. We will rush forward to see the situation. ”
“I don't want to stay here. I want to follow you! “Shouted Zhang Xinyue immediately with a change in expression.
“Uncle and cousin I was at Qingcheng Monastery, Brother Tang,” interrupted Wang Tao hastily. “I have to go with you there!”
“Cannot. You are all ordinary people. Involving yourself in danger is not great. “Tang Xiu shook his head and said,” Did you see the four people earlier? We easily kill them and people dying in this kind of danger is much more normal than a dead chicken here. ”
“What did you say?” Shouted Zhang Xinyue. “You ... you just killed them?”
The light was too faint to be seen in the dark night and Zhang Xinyue only saw the four people fall, but did not realize that they were dead.
“Don't forget my appointment earlier. You should forget everything that happened in Qingcheng Mountain after you left this place and always keep your mouth shut, ” Tang Xiu said.
With that said, he brought Mo Awu, Jin Shi, and Xue Sha with him. Their three silhouettes flashed swiftly towards the Qingcheng Monastery. After leaving Zhang Xinyue and Wang Tao's line of sight, the four men floated in the air and spent a minute to arrive at a place less than 100 meters away from the burning outer pavilion on Mount Qingcheng.
