Chapter 295: Chapter 153 Great Gift
“Deny it?” Zhang Xuan snorted coldly.
Everything was too coincidental.
To say there was no conspiracy, even he himself wouldn’t believe it.
“I, I didn’t…”
Knowing that the other party truly wanted to kill him, and that a single thought was enough, Min Jiangtao suppressed his panic and quickly shook his head, “I have absolutely no such intentions. If I harbored harmful thoughts towards you, my fate would end immediately, and I would die on the spot…”
“Relax your mind, don’t resist…” Zhang Xuan looked over.
“Yes!” Min Jiangtao quickly nodded, standing still.
Zhang Xuan extended his finger towards his forehead and pointed, and in the next moment, countless mountains and rivers of the New World burned to ashes.
The Soul Guiding Formula of the Master Teacher Continent does not seek to know the other’s thoughts, only to ascertain whether he is lying or not.
After a moment, Zhang Xuan withdrew his finger.
Through the investigation of the Soul Guiding Formula, the other party hadn’t lied, which meant… the facts were coincidentally true.
“No, wait… I understand now!”
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Xuan had an epiphany and waved his hand, “Lead the way, to Lieyi Lane! Sun Qiang, you stay here and take care of Xiaoyu and Hong Yi.”
The two flew swiftly, one after the other. In just over ten breaths, they arrived outside a massive courtyard.
The yard covered more than ten acres, and all the buildings were not tall but rather simple. From afar, it was covered in verdant greenery, filled with vegetation, like an uninhabited garden.
This Lieyi Lane was very secluded, with not many shops and few people. From any perspective, this place was indeed, as Min Jiangtao had said, very suitable for hiding someone.
Never mind one Liu Mingyue, even one hundred could be covertly hidden without notice.
“Lord Zhang, this is the place I was talking about. Shall we sneak in to search, or shall we barge in? I can easily kill that Manager Nanny who’s at Galaxy 2-dan Peak…”
Min Jiangtao looked over.
Having just been suspected, he wanted to show his worth.
Without answering his question, Zhang Xuan picked up a stone and threw it toward the courtyard. It hit something with a “plop!” sound.
But inside, there was no movement at all, as if no one lived there.
After doing this, Zhang Xuan made no further moves but stood quietly in place.
“Lord Zhang…”
Min Jiangtao looked over, puzzled.
“Inside, there are five experts. The weakest has reached Galaxy 4-dan, and the strongest Galaxy 5-dan…” Zhang Xuan whispered.
“Five experts? Lord, I really didn’t know!”
Startled, Min Jiangtao quickly waved his hands.
“If you had known, you would have died just now!” Zhang Xuan said, waving his hand.
When he threw the stone earlier, although the experts hidden in the courtyard didn’t respond or make any movements, their strength had quietly circulated. With just this, he could use the Library of Heaven’s Path to find out the identities and origins of those hiding.
One glance was enough to confirm the number and strength of these people.
As for the man before him, having been probed with the Soul Guiding Formula, it was clear he was unaware, and the reason was quite simple.
Since Mo Baiye knew that Min Jiangtao had betrayed him and that the latter knew about his lover’s existence, he took advantage of this, setting an ambush in advance, waiting for Zhang Xuan to fall into the trap.
If he could kill him, it would definitely solve a lot of trouble. If not, he could at least gauge Zhang Xuan’s strength in advance and take measures accordingly, while also creating discord between him and Min Jiangtao.
Truly a strategy that kills two birds with one stone.
He was worthy of being a genius who had independently comprehended a fragment of the heavens; indeed, he wasn’t as simple as imagined.
However, since the ambush had been discovered in advance, it no longer held any significance.
“Are we still going in?” Min Jiangtao couldn’t help but look over.
“No…” Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Even though he knew the flaws of these people and their backgrounds, he was currently only at Galaxy 2-dan Peak cultivation. While he could fight against those of Galaxy 3-dan, and even 4-dan, facing 5-dan was a bit too much, and rashly charging in would not guarantee victory.
Moreover, since it was a trap, Liu Mingyue was most likely not there.
Rushing in would only help the enemy test his own strength, which was completely unnecessary.
Min Jiangtao said, “Then what do we…”
Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment, then took out a card and handed it over.
It was the Sky Blue Card.
After the last incident, he knew this item was very important for the Wanxiang Sect. Since that was the case, why not take advantage of it?
“Take this card, go to the Wanxiang Sect and find their leader Qian Yuhuan. Tell him there are several villains from the Hunting List hiding here, and ask him to send people to besiege them. Make sure he brings several experts…”
“This…” Accepting the card, Min Jiangtao blinked several times, somewhat stupefied.
Asking the Wanxiang Sect to send people to besiege…
Such a niche instruction! Would they really listen?
Still, since Zhang Xuan had instructed him so, he didn’t dare to retort and immediately nodded, “Yes!”
“Where exactly is the Mo Blade Sect, tell me in detail, including its structure, personnel, and their strengths…”
Zhang Xuan continued to ask.
“Yes!” Min Jiangtao immediately recounted in detail.
As Mo Baiye’s second disciple, he knew everything about the Mo Blade Sect like the back of his hand, and soon Zhang Xuan had a good understanding of this force.
The strongest of the Mo Blade Sect was naturally its leader, Mo Baiye, at Galaxy 6-dan Peak, followed by Mo Hong, at Galaxy 3-dan Peak, and then Min Jiangtao, at Galaxy 3-dan Early Stage…
Beyond them, the strongest was merely at Galaxy 2-dan Early Stage, and then there were about twenty or so at the first level. The Dharma Form Realm had the most members, over two hundred, with a total number exceeding three hundred.
Although it couldn’t be considered a particularly large force, it was definitely not weak.
All these people practiced the Mo Dao, some had comprehended the first realm, and some the second, constantly providing Mo Baiye with strength and insights.
This was his biggest support for assaulting the fourth level and maintaining his current strength.
“Lord… Although our teacher has been modest with us, concealing the true essence of his cultivation, but… these brothers and sisters are innocent. I hope you can show mercy…”
After explaining the situation of the Mo Blade Sect, Min Jiangtao hesitated for a bit, then knelt down with determination.
Following this person who practiced a more profound saber art, the illusion of Mo Baiye was shattered, but he couldn’t bear to see his fellow disciples slaughtered.
If Zhang Xuan was inquiring so meticulously, it was very likely he would storm in. And once he decided to kill, those fellow disciples would stand no chance.
“I’m not an executioner; I won’t easily kill! Rest assured.”
Zhang Xuan waved his hand, not expecting him to think this way.
“Then…”
Min Jiangtao looked over, puzzled.
Knowing that Liu Mingyue was not likely in the Mo Blade Sect, why inquire so in detail if not to go on a killing spree? What was the purpose?
“Mo Baiye captured my disciple and forced me into a trap. Naturally, I have to return a ‘gift’ to him; wouldn’t it be rude not to reciprocate his hard work?”
With a slight smile, Zhang Xuan’s mouth curled up.
