240: Killing Order

“I knew it! How long has he been in the Sect before he wiped out our Dan Peak? So, he’s from the Seven Kill Hall!”

At this moment, the Disciples realized, each one cursing loudly.

Some Elders, however, frowned, looking at Master Xuanji and Shen Qingqiu. They always felt something was off, but couldn’t quite pinpoint it.

Shouldn't Righteous Path Disciples who were lured into the Demonic Path be captured, imprisoned at Si Guo Cliff, made to repent, reform, and return to the true Dao?

Why was it a direct Kill Order?!

The ones who should be executed are the culprits!

Also, do we have eight thousand Disciples who fell to the Demonic Path? I recall only eight hundred came to Elite Peak for training?!

“Sect Master, I believe these Disciples were merely misled. It would suffice to bring them back and counsel them, no need for a complete massacre…” An Elder, unable to bear it, kindly reminded Master Xuanji.

Shen Qingqiu coldly said, “A Demon is a Demon. With resentment in their hearts, forming Demonic Forms, their Demonic Roots are already deeply planted. There’s no turning back. Only death!”

“If I, one day, also become like this, you need not say more. Just kill me!”

Father, living father!

If you fall to the Demonic Path, who can kill you?!

All the Elders fell silent.

The time for one incense stick to burn passed quickly, and Shen Qingqiu immediately rode his sword, commencing the pursuit of the Xuanxiao Sect Disciples who had fallen to the Demonic Path.

Sect Master Master Xuanji ordered everyone to leave, hastily sealed Elite Peak, and then returned to the Xuanxiao Sect’s Sect Master Hall.

As he stepped into the Hall, he saw Chu Mo lying in a grand armchair, leisurely sipping tea.

The other party even waved at him.

“You’re here? Freshly brewed tea, care for a cup?!”

“You scoundrel, you said you wanted me to cooperate with you, but you didn’t say it would be this kind of cooperation!”

Master Xuanji stormed forward, wishing he could strangle the fellow in front of him.

Chu Mo showed no sense of danger, still leisurely, “You tell me, don’t they look like they’ve fallen to the Demonic Path? For this grand play, I even put myself on the line. Now, in the eyes of those Righteous Path Schools, I am the Seven Kill Hall’s gold-medal undercover agent. When they see me in the future, they’ll inevitably draw their swords.”

“Doesn’t that mean that if I find someone to deal with you now, it would be eliminating Demons and defending the Dao!”

“That’s right! But, you have to weigh my Senior Brother’s influence. For the safety of our Xuanxiao Sect’s undercover agents, I’ve staked my reputation. If you still treat me like this, aren’t you afraid my Senior Brother will use his sword to shave your beard?”

At this moment, Master Xuanji felt that he might be the most aggrieved Sect Master in the Xuanxiao Sect’s history since its founding.

He didn’t act like a Sect Master at all, faring even worse than the Disciple in front of him.

Sighing inwardly, Master Xuanji then said to Chu Mo, “Can your method truly deceive those from the Seven Kill Hall? The undercover agents from other Schools have almost all been purged.”

Chu Mo, with his legs crossed, said roguishly, “What else? If they’re discovered, just have Elder Wei lead those eight hundred Disciples to directly activate their Demonic Forms. This is a combined attack method I specifically selected for them. As for its power, you’ve experienced it yourself.”

Although he didn’t know how Chu Mo managed to obtain such an absurd combined attack method, Master Xuanji still felt some concern for these Disciples.

“When they came out, they certainly acted very convincingly, without any flaws. But, if the Seven Kill Hall separates and assigns them, then they won’t be able to use their Demonic Forms…”

“Act? Who told you they were acting? That was resentment and Killing Intent from within, from the heart. After all, they’ve been holding it in for quite a while.

As for scattered management, that’s even simpler. I’ve already instructed Elder Wei. He knows what to do if he encounters such a situation.”

Chu Mo spoke simply and easily.

However, the more Master Xuanji listened, the more something felt off. Recalling everything that happened before, a bold idea formed in his mind.

These Disciples weren’t actually led into the Demonic Path, were they?!

At this moment.

Another figure appeared in the Hall.

It was Shen Qingqiu.

“Senior Brother, are you done?!”

“All your Puppets were split into dust by my sword. Elder Wei also took the remaining Disciples and teleported away using a Teleportation Array before I arrived, without any other mishaps.”

Chu Mo nodded, “Alright, then once I sort things out, it’s time to set off for the Seven Kill Hall.”

Chu Mo’s idea was to have Shen Qingqiu go directly to the Seven Kill Hall and go berserk, beating the Seven Kill Demon Lord like a dog.

However, the Seven Kill Hall’s headquarters were too secretive, and the Seven Kill Demon Lord rarely left, making it impossible to corner him.

Chu Mo also considered using a sinister method, tying up Luo Qingdie as bait.

But Shen Qingqiu was too rigid, and he directly vetoed this idea.

Damn it!

Junior Sister can’t suffer, but Junior Brother can, right?!

After giving some more instructions to Master Xuanji and Shen Qingqiu, Chu Mo ‘alone’ left the Xuanxiao Sect.

...........

Luoshui Town.

Located in the northern part of the Great Wei Dynasty, this was a prosperous town, quite large, comparable to a small city.

Villagers came and went, an endless stream.

However, with a bit of observation, one would notice a fierce glint in the eyes of these villagers.

These villagers were not ordinary villagers.

They were all members of the Seven Kill Hall; the entire Luoshui Town was a branch of the Seven Kill Hall.

The sun, high in the sky, was exceptionally hot, and many ordinary people without cultivation used various methods to escape the heat.

“Thump, thump, thump…”

Intense footsteps came from ahead.

The villagers on the outskirts of Luoshui Town looked in the direction of the footsteps. A series of black umbrellas first came into view. Strange runes were inscribed on the black umbrellas; just looking at them, they felt their souls would leave their bodies and be sucked away by the black umbrellas.

Under the umbrellas, a group of people in black tight-fitting clothes, exuding Killing Intent, were walking towards Luoshui Town.

Their number was nearly a thousand.

This greatly frightened the villagers on the outskirts.

“Are they from our Seven Kill Hall? Or from other Demonic Schools? I just feel like they’re up to no good!”

“Such Killing Intent, logically speaking, they should be from our Seven Kill Hall. But, we haven’t received any orders saying anyone would come to Luoshui Town!”

“Perhaps it’s someone from the main branch coming for inspection. Of course, it could also be from a sub-branch, or even the main hall. Everyone, act normal, don’t give yourselves away, or we’ll all be in trouble together!”

The Seven Kill Hall, from highest to lowest, was structured into Sacred Hall, Main Hall, Sub-Hall, Main Branch, and Sub-Branch.

Luoshui Town was merely a Sub-Branch, so it was naturally unavoidable for people from higher up to come for inspections.

Moreover, these inspectors always took away a lot of resources, making the already barren Sub-Branch even more difficult to sustain.

What these villagers couldn’t understand was that only three days had passed since the last inspection, so why were people coming again?

Previously, it was always two people; this time, nearly a thousand.

Could there be some major operation?!

Under the gaze of the villagers on the outskirts of Luoshui Town.

This group of oddly dressed outsiders entered the town without any hindrance.

Chen Lu, who was expelled from the Sect along with the Xuanxiao Sect Disciples, asked Chu Mo beside him with great incomprehension, “Why aren’t they stopping us?”

“Because they are just ordinary people. They only get a few copper coins a month, why would they risk their lives?”

Wei Changfeng, the leader, heard this and his mouth twitched uncontrollably, while also transmitting a message to Chu Mo.

“We’re being spied on. Do you want me to make a move and blast them all out?!”
