Supreme Demon God

Chapter 160: Waiting

Originally, Mo Xiu felt that coming to Dark Cloud Ruins might be able to get the answer he wanted, and it seemed that his hunch was correct.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Yuan and Xing Yuyan.

Seeing this, Xing Yuyan hurriedly said, "Senior brother, are you okay?"

"Yeah."

Mo Xiu nodded lightly, and immediately asked, "Do you remember the secret art I taught you before?"

Xing Yuyan didn't know which secret art Mo Xiu was referring to, but she nodded.

"That's good," Mo Xiu said. "You go to the entrance and exit of the Dark Cloud Ruins to see if the people of Jasper Blossom Sect and Arcane Truth Sect are waiting for us."

"Jasper Blossom Sect and the Arcane Truth Sect?"

Xing Yuyan was slightly stunned, "Senior brother means that these two sects are mixed together?"

"It should be," Mo Xiu didn't dare to be one hundred percent sure, this was just a guess from him, he could only say that the possibility was very high.

Xing Yuyan didn't know the grudge between Mo Xiu and Arcane Truth Sect. She shook her head, "How is this possible? Let's not say whether the Jasper Blossom Sect is willing to cooperate with Arcane Truth Sect. Arcane Truth Sect has always been alone, and I have never heard of them working with other sects, how could they get entangled with the Jasper Blossom Sect?"

"Before, they were alone, but now they are not," Mo Xiu explained. "They had cooperated with people from Inferno Martial Sect before. When I killed Inferno Martial Sect disciples, I also killed people from Arcane Truth Sect. People from the Arcane Truth Sect must be looking for me everywhere, and I happened to run into your Jasper Blossom Sect again. It is very likely that the two sects would have joined forces."

"Senior brother also killed someone from the Arcane Truth Sect?" Xing Yuyan was dumbfounded.

As far as she knew, the relationship between the Seraphic Sword Sect and the Sky Blade Sect had never been good. But before the start of the Spirit Island Trial, the Seraphic Sword Sect who was already on bad terms with the Inferno Martial Sect became an even more deadly enemy against the Inferno Martial Sect.

Now, Mo Xiu, the disciple of the Seraphic Sword Sect, who was on the bright side, had killed the people of the Arcane Truth Sect and the people of the Jasper Blossom Sect. Didn't this mean that he offended the four forces at once?

If this continued, would it evolve into a situation where all the people were his enemies?

She still didn't know the true identity of Mo Xiu, otherwise, she would find out that not only these four sects, but even the people from the Seraphic Sword Sect and the Alchemy League wanted to kill Mo Xiu, he was really not far from being an enemy of the whole world.

Mo Xiu knew what Xing Yuyan was worried about, so he asked leisurely, "Why? Afraid?"

Xing Yuyan shook her head slightly, "My life was saved by senior brother. And since senior brother is not afraid, why should I be afraid of it? It's just that, when the trial is over, I am afraid it will be a bit troublesome. At the same time, many forces will be hostile to us. The Sect Master of Seraphic Sword Sect can't keep us."

"Don't worry, I have my own measures. You do what I just told you first," Mo Xiu said calmly.

For Xing Yuyan, her current obligation was to check the situation outside the Dark Cloud Ruins.

She nodded, "Understood, I will check it now."

"Just check if they are guarding outside, you don't have to fight with them, come back and tell me after understanding the situation," Mo Xiu exhorted.

"Okay," Xing Yuyan said, turning and leaving.

Only Mo Xiu and Yuan Rou were left.

Yuan Rou couldn't help asking, "Brother Xiu, what have you learned from that person's soul?"

"About the Profound Sky Continent and the treasures," Mo Xiu explained a little bit, and then said, "these things, including our true identity, don't tell Xing Yuyan for now."

Yuan Rou knew that Mo Xiu had heard her conversation with Xing Yuyan.

She bulged her cheeks and said a little aggrieved, "I see."

Mo Xiu no longer bothered to speak, and threw the sword in his hand to Yuan Rou, then sat down cross-legged, running Universe's Origin Heaven Art, and absorbing the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth.

Although there were ghosts everywhere in Dark Cloud Ruins, the concentration of Spiritual Energy was not much worse than that of other places on Spirit Island.

The surrounding Spiritual Energy gathered and was absorbed by Mo Xiu into his body, transformed into True Energy, and stored in the Dantian after revolving a few times.

"Boom!"

Soon, Mo Xiu's cultivation succeeded in breaking through from the Late-stage to the Great Perfection-stage of the Profound Spirit Realm, only a small step away from the Essence Converging Realm.

It might not be easy to defeat the Abstruse Form Realm experts, but if he wanted to leave here, they could not stop him.

The safer approach was to break through to the Early-stage of the Essence Converging Realm before leaving. At that time, he could even contend against the Abstruse Form Realm experts easily, but that might take several days.

The Spirit Island Trial itself had a time limit. So he could not just spend his time in the Dark Cloud Ruins, and even if he wanted to consolidate his cultivation base, he didn't need to sit in seclusion, so there was no need to continue to stay.

...

Outside the Dark Cloud Ruins.

The people of Jasper Blossom Sect, the people of Arcane Truth Sect, and the two Abstruse Form Realm disciples of Inferno Martial Sect gathered together.

"It's been so many days, are you sure those three damn guys are still in Dark Cloud Ruins?" a Jasper Blossom Sect disciple asked.

"Yes, although I don't know what method they used, they must be in the Dark Cloud Ruins, and definitely not dead yet," an Arcane Truth Sect disciple replied.

Originally, the person who led the disciples of the Arcane Truth Sect to chase and kill Mo Xiu was Wang Xian, and the person who led Jasper Blossom Sect disciples to chase and kill Xing Yuyan was Fang Jing, but at this moment, both of them had left.

After all, it took several days for the three of Mo Xiu to enter the Dark Cloud Ruins, and it was impossible for them to spend all their time waiting for the three of Mo Xiu.

Although the two had left and a large number of people had been taken away, there were still a lot of people left. Including the two Abstruse Form Realm disciples of Inferno Martial Sect, a total of 16 people, each of which was an Abstruse Form Realm. Among them, there were five who reached the Great Perfection-stage.

It was not that they didn't want to leave the Essence Converging Realm cultivators here, but the Essence Converging Realm cultivators were not Mo Xiu's opponents at all. Even if they stayed, it was useless. It was better to take them away and help find cultivation resources.

Among the people who were left behind, the leading person from the Arcane Truth Sect was named Qiu Yue, and the leading person from the Jasper Blossom Sect was named Liu Yuzhu, both of them were peak-stage Abstruse Form Realm masters.

As for the two from the Inferno Martial Sect, they were originally with the people of the Arcane Truth, and now, they naturally had to listen to Qiu Yue's instructions.

There were a total of sixteen Abstruse Form Realm adepts. They were more than enough to deal with Mo Xiu, Yuan Rou, and Xing Yuyan. Everyone thought that they were more than enough, but the three of Mo Xiu had been hiding in the Dark Cloud Ruins, and since they dared not venture into the Dark Cloud Ruins, they could only wait outside.

As if worried that everyone would be impatient to wait, Qiu Yue said, "Don't worry, those three people can't stay in the Dark Cloud Ruins for the rest of their lives. They will come out and die in two days!"

Liu Yuzhu glanced at Qiu Yue and said angrily, "You said the same two days ago."

"This time is different; this time, I am very sure," Qiu Yue said with a smile.

Liu Yuzhu always felt that Qiu Yue was a bit unreliable, but this person was from the Arcane Truth Sect, so she didn't have much to say.

At this moment, a figure flashed past the Dark Cloud Ruins.

"There's someone!"

As Liu Yuzhu was alert, she stretched out her slender jade hand, and a chain of red silk pierced out into the Dark Cloud Ruins as if she wanted to catch that figure.

Only soon, the figure disappeared, and red silk fell into nothingness.

The other Jasper Blossom Sect disciples, the Arcane Truth Sect, and Inferno Martial Sect's people reacted quickly as they attacked the Dark Cloud Ruins from a long distance away. But that figure had already disappeared, no matter how many attacks were blasted out, it would have no effect.

Liu Yuzhu's eyes flickered for a while, and she asserted, "It's that bitch Xing Yuyan!"

"Xing Yuyan?"

"Sure enough, it's her!"

"She really wasn't dead!"

"There are powerful ghosts everywhere in the Dark Cloud Ruins, but why can she walk around so freely?"

"Knowing that so many of us are guarding outside, she doesn't have a plan to come out, right?"

Everyone started talking.

Liu Yuzhu naturally had the same worry, worried that Xing Yuyan would hide in the Dark Cloud Ruins all her life, but she snorted before long, "Not going to come out? I want to see how long they can hide inside!"

...

In the Dark Cloud Ruins.

Xing Yuyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "It was so dangerous, I almost got caught by them."

Of course, she remembered Mo Xiu's advice clearly.

She didn't plan to fight against Liu Yuzhu and the others, but just wanted to figure out the general strength of those guarding outside the Dark Cloud Ruins.

If she looked up close, she might be able to easily see the specific cultivation base of the people outside the Dark Cloud Ruins, but she couldn't see them since those people too were far away.

Since she couldn't fool around, the temptation just now was thrown away.

It was just that she didn't expect that the people guarding outside the Dark Cloud Ruins were all Abstruse Form Realm cultivators, and many of them were in the Great Perfection-stage at that, and she also didn't expect Liu Yuzhu to act so decisively that she almost caught her.

Originally, she didn't believe that Arcane Truth Sect and Jasper Blossom Sect would join forces very much, but now, she believed it.

It was fine if those sects just joined forces, but with so many of them guarding outside the Dark Cloud Ruins, could they really leave the Dark Cloud Ruins?

She had already broken through to the Great Perfection-stage of the Abstruse Form Realm, but even if Mo Xiu and Yuan Rou were both in the same realm as her, there were still only three of them. How could they deal with those bunch?

Not to mention, there were not only five people guarding the Dark Cloud Ruins, but sixteen people, each of whom was an Abstruse Form Realm cultivator.

Unless Mo Xiu could think of a way to transfer all those people away, they might not even want to leave.

As she was thinking pessimistically, she felt a familiar breath approaching. Looking back, it was Mo Xiu.

Only Mo Xiu was alone, not seeing Yuan Rou, which made Xing Yuyan feel a little puzzled.

She quickly asked, "Senior brother, where is Yuan Rou?"

"She's okay, don't worry about her," Mo Xiu said. "What is the result?"

"A total of sixteen people, each of them is an Abstruse Form Realm master, and several of them have reached the Great Perfection-stage. We might not be to leave so easily," Xing Yuyan said frowningly.

Mo Xiu looked still calm and nodded lightly, "I see."

After finishing speaking, he patted Xing Yuyan's shoulder, "Let's go, let's just kill our way out."
