1053 Comrades (2/2)
”Why did you seek the cultivation methods of the outside world and betray us barbarians?” Fang Yuan asked suddenly.
”What?” Many youngsters were astonished.
The biggest crime among the barbarians was betraying the Holy Mountain, defecting to the outside world, and learning their cultivation methods.
The so-called 'cultivation methods' were naturally the fundamental cultivation techniques of the cultivation world.
As for martial arts like the Chaotic Cloak, they were common, and most importantly, they could not pose any threat to the higher echelons and were therefore not banned.
I can't admit this! Hei Jue bit his lips. ”Sir, do you have evidence?”
”Evidence? My words themselves constitute evidence!” Fang Yuan glared and waved his saber casually.
Zap!
A thread of Saber Qi fell from above Hei Jue, threatening to cut him in half.
”Ahh!”
Feeling Fang Yuan's killing intent, Hei Jue exploded. A green leaf magic artifact appeared above his head and blocked the attack.
”See?” Fang Yuan smiled. ”Even the strongest warrior in your tribe probably wouldn't be able to take him down. He didn't awaken his totem, so isn't this learning the cultivation methods of the outside world?”
”You have a great eye, Sir! Hei Jue, what else do you have to say!” Hei Tu exclaimed excitedly. This is the end for Hei Jue!
”Go!” Hei Jue gritted his teeth and stepped onto the green leaf magic artifact in an attempt to fly away.
But just at that moment, two External Saber Qi appeared and penetrated his legs, making him scream and roll down.
”Seal his dantian, pluck his teeth, and bound his limbs. Be careful. You absolutely can't let him die!”
He was important evidence for Fang Yuan to complete his mission, and he was not going to let go of it.
”Eh?” He looked up and saw a black dot not far away.
That black dot became bigger until it finally became a majestic four-winged griffin.
Chirp chirp!
The huge griffin landed on the ground, flapping its wings and moving sand about.
A few Primordial Core realm cultivators jumped down, two males and one female. The female with a red dot between her eyebrows asked happily, ”Are you Junior Brother Fang Yuan?”
”It's me. You are…” Fang Yuan stepped forward.
”We are also disciples of the Holy Mountain that took on the investigative mission. We happened to see Junior Brother's registration. How about we do the mission together?” The girl with the red mole smiled with a touch of intimacy.
”Senior Brothers and Senior Sister are…”
”I'm Hong Ling. These two are Qing Meng and Yuan Wu!” Hong Ling smiled as she introduced the other two young men.
Qing Meng was on the thin side, while Yuan Wu was rather big with a murderous glint in his eyes.
”Every disciple from the Holy Mountain should unite and help each other out. Junior Brother, your cultivation is lower, so we should complete the mission together!” Qing Meng said, showing concern.
Hmph, one who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions. Moreover… Mo He has few good friends on the Holy Mountain… Fang Yuan sneered in his heart. ”Thank you, Seniors, but I've already completed the mission!”
”What?” This startled Hong Ling, and she quickly exchanged glances with the other two.
”I was lucky to find the trace of a cultivator when I came to the Eagle tribe. I've killed him and have taken down this dark seed, Hei Jue! He cultivated the methods from the outside world and was in contact with the cultivators! The patriarchs will know once they interrogate him.”
There was no shortage of hallucination and soul-searching methods in the Holy Mountain. Even Fang Yuan could use an illusion to make Hei Jue spit out the truth.
”Good! Junior Brother is amazing!” Hong Ling said merrily. ”However, one Hei Jue is a bit inadequate since he's just cannon fodder. Would he know the names of the sects behind this?”
”This…” Fang Yuan feigned hesitation.
”Come, we've been busy all the way. Let's have a good meal first before discussing this,” Hong Ling suggested with a smile.
”That's it!” Qing Meng seemed to think of something as his eyes brightened. He secretly transmitted, ”This guy is just at the Materialization realm. The elder of the mission hall won't nitpick since he could complete his mission to this stage. We should… kill Hei Jue secretly so that he has no choice but to continue the mission with us!
”Hong Ling and I will keep Fang Yuan busy. Yuan Wu, you kill him secretly. Be careful to make it seem like he died of heavy internal injuries…”
…
In a cave, some distance away from the Eagle tribe.
Fog surrounded it, obviously an array, and there was a simple building in the center.
”Liu He is dead!” An old man in purple-gold robe suddenly opened his eyes and touched the storage bag around his waist. A broken jade emerged from it. ”He went to the Eagle tribe, right? Did he meet with a strong enemy? Send the order down to the agents nearby to see what happened.”
Liu He's life-and-death jade was not a blood jade. It had a simple notification function to tell this leader that he was dead.
An Immortal Patriarch had to be willing to make a real blood jade with a few rare and precious materials. Only the core disciples of the outside world had them.
Originally, Liu He was not even fit to have a life-and-death jade. However, he had received one since he was undercover in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
