53: Chapter 53 One-Hit Kill

"Even if you can't find it, you still have to look. If you dare to go back empty-handed, you can explain it to the Grandmaster yourself."

"I certainly don't dare."

The Junior Brother who spoke earlier shook his head.

"It has been a full thirteen years since we came out of the Black Water Valley in the Southern Border. As for how many places we've walked through in these thirteen years, I can't even remember myself."

"Not to mention half a piece of jade, we haven't even seen a single similar object."

The Senior Brother said,

"We weren't the only two who left the Black Water Valley back then."

"The valley dispatched a total of one hundred and twenty Disciples, divided into four routes, searching all the way from south to north. The area we are responsible for is the largest, so it's normal to spend more time."

"What can one hundred and twenty people even do?"

The Junior Brother picked up the wine pot and poured himself another cup.

"The Tianhuang Continent stretches for hundreds of thousands of li. Let alone one hundred and twenty people, even if one thousand or ten thousand people were sent, it would be normal not to find it."

"Didn't Senior Xuanyuan give the Grandmaster any more hints?"

"If there were hints, would we still need to run around blindly like headless flies?"

The Senior Brother glanced at the woman in his arms.

That woman was lowering her head to pour wine for him, completely paying no attention to what the two of them were saying.

The Senior Brother withdrew his gaze and continued,

"I heard from Master that more than a decade ago, Senior Xuanyuan suddenly sensed the aura of Senior Qingli."

"It's just that that aura appeared for a very short time and disappeared not long after."

"Senior Xuanyuan could only confirm that Senior Qingli had already awakened and was right to the north of the Southern Border. As for where exactly she is, he couldn't explain clearly either."

Hearing this, the Junior Brother drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

"To the north of the Southern Border..."

"How is this any different from knowing nothing at all?"

"Say less."

The Senior Brother glanced at him.

"You aren't unfamiliar with the relationship between Senior Xuanyuan and the Grandmaster. If these words reach his ears, you won't escape punishment after going back."

Mentioning Xuanyuan and the Grandmaster, the Junior Brother shrank his neck.

After a while, he spoke up again and asked,

"Senior Brother, is Senior Qingli really like Senior Xuanyuan, also inside the other half of the jade?"

"It shouldn't be wrong."

The Junior Brother sighed.

"It's a pity the Tianhuang Continent is so vast, and I don't know how much longer we'll have to search."

"I think we might as well enjoy ourselves in the present."

Hearing this, the Senior Brother laughed.

He raised his right hand, and two bugs only the size of rice grains flew out from his fingertips.

The two companion women didn't notice at all before those two small bugs had already burrowed into their ears.

Not long after, the faces of the two women flushed, and they actively leaned against the bodies of the two brothers.

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled.

The Junior Brother said,

"Senior Brother, your Lust Bugs are getting more and more useful."

The Senior Brother reached out and hugged the woman in his arms.

"I have to say, these Central Plains women are all charming one by one."

"It's a pity that our brothers are leaving tomorrow, otherwise I really wouldn't bear to waste these little bugs on them."

Afterwards, the two brothers began to enjoy the happiness of being men.

Hearing this, Mo Xiaochuan withdrew his Divine Sense.

These two people came from the Black Water Valley in the Southern Border and had been searching outside for a full thirteen years.

Coming out together with them were also more than one hundred Disciples of the Black Water Valley.

Xuanyuan had never given up searching for Qingli all these years.

It's just that Mo Xiaochuan temporarily didn't know why Xuanyuan stayed in the Black Water Valley, nor what kind of relationship he had with the Grandmaster in the mouths of those two people.

As for that pair of Senior and Junior Brothers next door, they were no good things either.

For amusement, they actually put bugs into the bodies of two Mortal women.

Although Mo Xiaochuan didn't know what those Lust Bugs actually were, he could tell from their words that this kind of bug was definitely not just as simple as making people lose their minds.

However, he could not alert the two of them yet.

This clue finally appeared with great difficulty, so he must first follow them to find Xuanyuan.

Mo Xiaochuan did not leave Liuxian Pavilion and kept waiting in the room.

This wait lasted until noon the next day.

There was no movement from next door for a long time, and Mo Xiaochuan originally thought the two had already left Xianyuan Pavilion.

He released his Divine Sense to sense for a bit before confirming that the pair of brothers were still in the room.

It's just that besides the auras of the two Cultivators in the room, the Life Qi of the two women from yesterday could no longer be sensed.

Right at this moment, the sound of a door opening came from next door.

Two alien Cultivators walked out of the room.

Mo Xiaochuan stood behind the door, seeing through the crack that the two were walking downstairs.

He originally planned to wait until the two walked out of Xianyuan Pavilion before going out to follow them.

But right at this moment, a scream suddenly came from outside.

Immediately afterwards, someone shouted loudly,

"Someone is dead!"

"Haitang and Qiutang are dead!"

The two women who accompanied that pair of brothers yesterday had now turned into two mummified corpses.

They lay on the bed, their skin clinging tightly to their bones, and the flesh and blood on their bodies seemed to have been sucked dry by something.

The voice of Elder Zhou Xuanze soon came from the third floor.

"What are you screaming about in the middle of noon?"

"Do you not want to live anymore?"

The waiter who brought Mo Xiaochuan upstairs yesterday hurriedly ran to the third floor.

"Elder Zhou, someone is dead!"

"Haitang and Qiutang are dead!"

Elder Zhou Xuanze walked out of the room and followed the waiter to the second floor.

Seeing the two mummified corpses on the bed, he asked,

"Daring to use evil arts to kill people on my Xuanyang Sect's territory, I think they are tired of living."

"Where are the people in this room?"

The waiter hurriedly looked downstairs and happened to see the two Cultivators dressed in exotic clothes walking to the main entrance.

He raised his hand and pointed at the two, saying,

"Elder Zhou, it's those two!"

Elder Zhou Xuanze looked in the direction pointed out by the waiter and shouted loudly,

"You two, stop right there for this old man!"

As his voice fell, he leapt down from the second floor and landed in front of the two alien Cultivators.

Hearing the commotion, the waiters and maidens in Xianyuan Pavilion all looked over here.

That Junior Brother looked Elder Zhou Xuanze up and down.

"Something the matter?"

Elder Zhou Xuanze said with his hands behind his back,

"You used evil arts to kill two Mortal women inside Xianyuan Pavilion, and now you still want to run away just like that?"

The Senior Brother turned his head and glanced at the second floor.

"It's just two Mortals dying, what do you want to do about it?"

Elder Zhou Xuanze said,

"This is Qingshi Town, and also the place of my Xuanyang Sect."

"You killed someone here, and you want to just walk away like this?"

"Now come back to the Xuanyang Sect with this old man, and explain your origins and the evil arts you used clearly. If you dare to resist, this old man will cripple your cultivation today."

Hearing this, that Junior Brother couldn't help laughing.

"Senior Brother, a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator actually said he wants to cripple our cultivation."

Hearing these words, Elder Zhou Xuanze also sensed that something was wrong.

However, this was after all the territory of the Xuanyang Sect, and he didn't believe that two foreign Cultivators would truly dare to make a move against him.

"This old man is Elder Zhou Xuanze of the Xuanyang Sect's outer sect."

Elder Zhou Xuanze looked at the two and said,

"It is still not too late for you to bow your heads, admit your mistakes, and return to the Xuanyang Sect with this old man."

That Senior Brother asked,

"Is the Xuanyang Sect very powerful?"

Elder Zhou Xuanze said,

"My Xuanyang Sect within this radius of a thousand li..."

Before he could finish speaking, that Senior Brother had already raised his right hand.

A wisp of black Qi flew out from his fingertips and instantly arrived before Elder Zhou Xuanze.

Elder Zhou Xuanze didn't see clearly what that was at all. He only felt a pain in his neck and reached out to touch the wound.

As soon as his fingers touched his neck, his entire arm lost all strength.

Immediately afterwards, his two legs also went soft.

Elder Zhou Xuanze opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word, and his whole body collapsed straight onto the ground.

Xianyuan Pavilion suddenly quieted down.

That waiter stood on the stairs, looking at Elder Zhou Xuanze who had fallen to the ground, not daring to move at all.

A person who was perfectly fine just a moment ago began to bleed black blood from his nose and mouth in less than a few breaths.

That Junior Brother lowered his head and glanced at Elder Zhou Xuanze.

"Senior Brother, didn't we agree not to cause trouble?"

The Senior Brother withdrew his right hand.

"He was courting death himself."

"Let's go."

The two no longer looked at the corpse on the ground and lifted their feet to walk out of Xianyuan Pavilion.

The waiters and maidens in the pavilion all hid aside, and simply no one dared to step forward to stop them.

Inside Liuxian Pavilion on the second floor, Mo Xiaochuan stood behind the door, taking everything that had just happened into his eyes.

Although Elder Zhou Xuanze was only in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, when that person killed him, he only raised his hand once from start to finish.

Elder Zhou Xuanze didn't even have a chance to fight back.

After the two alien Cultivators walked far away, Mo Xiaochuan turned back to glance at Qingluan, who was still lying on the bed fast asleep.

He did not continue staying in Xianyuan Pavilion, pushed open the window, vaulted out, and followed closely behind the two from afar.
