163: Chapter 163 This mouth is something else

"Sect Master Song, the most pressing matter right now is to resolve the situation with the Bliss Sect,"

Qiao Feiang said, neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Although this Sect Master Song's strength was far greater than his own, Baijue Mountain behind him was the source of his confidence.

"I'm afraid our Golden Spirit Sect alone cannot deal with the Bliss Sect,"

Sect Master Song Yong said in a deep voice.

Their Golden Spirit Sect was just a small Sect; even back when they joined the suppression of the Bliss Sect, the ancestors of the Golden Spirit Sect could only stay on the periphery.

Now encountering the Bliss Sect again, even if it was just Remnants, he had no confidence.

This kind of matter was better left to those from the great Sects.

"I have already notified the Sect; they will send people over, but it will take some time,"

Qiao Feiang said with a smile.

"I hope Sect Master Song can lend a hand."

Sect Master Song Yong fell silent; he did not respond to Qiao Feiang immediately.

"The people from the Bliss Sect are operating on the Golden Spirit Sect's territory; their target might very well be your Golden Spirit Sect."

Seeing that Sect Master Song Yong did not reply, Qiao Feiang continued unhurriedly.

"Sect Master Song wouldn't want the Golden Spirit Sect to become the Bliss Sect's target, would he?"

This sentence struck Sect Master Song Yong directly.

As the Sect Master of the Golden Spirit Sect, he naturally didn't want the Bliss Sect to have designs on them.

Yet the Bliss Sect just had to cause trouble on their Golden Spirit Sect's territory.

"Instead of this, we might as well take the initiative to attack."

Qiao Feiang continued.

Lin Ming glanced at Qiao Feiang; this guy's verbal skills were quite something, pushing Sect Master Song Yong step by step.

"I understand."

Sect Master Song Yong finally made a decision at this moment.

He had to admit that Qiao Feiang had persuaded him; Qiao Feiang was right.

Rather than waiting for death, it was better to strike first.

Now that he knew the Bliss Sect had killed their commoners and Disciples on the Golden Spirit Sect's territory,

He indeed should take action.

"Our Golden Spirit Sect is willing to cooperate with you two,"

Sect Master Song Yong said to the two of them.

"We won't let Sect Master Song down,"

Qiao Feiang smiled.

Immediately afterward, their operation began.

Under the operation of the Golden Spirit Sect's intelligence network, they learned the locations of the ten-plus villages Zhou Yang had passed through.

During this time, they even discovered that it wasn't just those ten-plus villages that had met with trouble.

Even more villages and even more villagers had disappeared.

It was just that those Disciples hadn't reported it immediately.

"The number of villagers killed is currently feared to be nearly fifty thousand,"

An Elder said with a solemn expression.

If they hadn't conducted a large-scale investigation, they wouldn't have known these things were happening at all.

Nearly fifty thousand people was not a small number.

"We've been somewhat negligent."

Sect Master Song Yong's expression also turned ugly.

He hadn't expected so many villagers to fall victim to the Bliss Sect, and more importantly, the Disciples under his command hadn't taken this matter to heart.

This was something Sect Master Song Yong found somewhat intolerable.

It was time for the Sect to have a reorganization.

"I understand."

Seeing the Sect Master's expression, that Elder knew the Sect Master was a bit angry and hurriedly responded.

"From the looks of it, the enemy's targets are very scattered, but they are all villages far from towns,"

The Elder said.

"What is their purpose?"

Sect Master Song Yong also voiced his doubt.

If it really was the Bliss Sect, what was their purpose in doing this?

Although the Bliss Sect's tenet was to liberate all living beings in the world, to escape from this world, from what they called a cage,

They didn't believe the Bliss Sect was simply killing people; they definitely had their purpose.

"We'll know once we find them,"

Lin Ming said.

"The question is, how do we find them?"

Qiao Feiang fell into a state of thought.

Lin Ming was indeed right, but his words were not much different from nonsense; he obviously knew they had to find the people from the Bliss Sect, but the question was how.

That was the crux of the problem.

They were in the light while the enemy was in the dark, and without any clues, it was indeed difficult to find them.

"They will definitely strike again,"

Qiao Feiang said.

In his view, the people from the Bliss Sect would likely strike again.

Although they had killed some members of the Bliss Sect, according to his understanding of the Bliss Sect from the Sect's records, those madmen wouldn't give up on their target so easily.

"Little Friend Qiao, how long will it take for your Sect's people to arrive?"

Sect Master Song Yong looked at Qiao Feiang and asked.

He wanted to know when the reinforcements from Baijue Mountain would arrive.

"At the earliest, it will take half a month,"

Qiao Feiang said.

Given the distance between the Golden Spirit Sect and Baijue Mountain, it would likely take at least half a month's journey.

During this half-month, they would need to face the Bliss Sect hiding in the shadows.

"I understand."

Sect Master Song Yong nodded slightly.

For the next half-month, he only hoped that nothing too major would happen; everything would wait until half a month later when the Cultivators from Baijue Mountain would come to deal with the Bliss Sect.

"Sect Master Song, I hope your Sect can send Disciples to secretly search for the Bliss Sect's whereabouts,"

Qiao Feiang said.

Trying to defend all the villages simultaneously was clearly impossible.

They could only take the initiative to search for the Bliss Sect's whereabouts.

"Mm."

Sect Master Song Yong also agreed to this.

After all, it was within the Golden Spirit Sect's sphere of influence; the Bliss Sect members lurking here was a hidden danger for him and the entire Golden Spirit Sect.

But they didn't understand the current Bliss Sect, so Sect Master Song Yong didn't want a direct confrontation for the time being.

It was best to find their whereabouts and then stall them until the people from Baijue Mountain arrived to handle it.

Therefore, Sect Master Song Yong dispatched a group of trustworthy Disciples and several Elders to secretly search for the Bliss Sect's whereabouts.

As for Lin Ming and the others, they weren't idle either; under Qiao Feiang's lead, they also traveled through some villages and cities,

Searching for the whereabouts of the Bliss Sect members.

Several days passed in a row.

They didn't find any people or information regarding the Bliss Sect.

Nor were there any more villages being slaughtered.

Everything seemed to have quieted down.

"Could it be there were only those few people?"

Zhou Yang said.

Could it be that the only Bliss Sect members were the ones Lin Ming and Qiao Feiang killed, and there were no others?

"Not necessarily; perhaps they heard of our arrival and intentionally hid, waiting for us to leave,"

Qiao Feiang said solemnly.

No possibility could be overlooked.

It wasn't impossible that the Bliss Sect members were spying on them from the shadows.

"Once the people from my Sect arrive, it will become clear,"

Qiao Feiang continued.

It didn't matter if they couldn't find them; as long as the people from Baijue Mountain arrived, they would know if the Bliss Sect was here.

Provided, of course, the Bliss Sect members didn't jump out first.
