, without mentioning her, leading everyone to assume she was among the dead naturally."I used to think so too, until I learned something else.""Why didn't anyone know if she survived And why are we he...Chapter 239 Perverted Game 2

"You... you are a warrior class, did you hide your true level"

"No, this isn't about levels! Sometimes, killing doesn’t have to rely on martial prowess." Xianyao said with a smile… If you don't understand, don't ask. Don't waste my time now; when I count to three, start running! Are you ready" Xianyao didn't bother explaining further. They would figure it out in the end anyway!

"Alright, I’m ready!" The voice sounded determined. She thought that following Xianyao’s idea was probably best for now, although she had some doubts. Of course, she wouldn’t question him at this moment.

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

Xianyao suddenly vanished in an instant, and another figure immediately appeared, making it seem like Xianyao’s disappearance was just an illusion. People continued to chase after the new figure without realizing that the person had changed.

This was because they never took these people seriously anyway. Whether old or young, male or female, they didn’t care about any of them as long as they would all die in the end.

Therefore, even if there was a huge difference between Xianyao and this new figure, it wouldn't matter to them much. Furthermore, the two figures were quite similar in appearance; although one towered over the other, their silhouettes looked very alike due to the distance separating them.

Once that shadow drew away those people’s attention, surveillance here became less and Xianyao could finally start her plans…

A half an hour later, Feng Hai and his group started moving. They were already eager to catch up with their targets, bringing along their helpers into the mountains. At this moment, they all wondered who would be the first one to spill blood!

No one thought that anyone would still be around at this point since those people had been running for half an hour already. Ordinary people could have run very far by now; as these were warrior-class or higher martial artists, they might even have crossed over the mountains.

But such a chase was much more interesting. If it were too easy, they would lose interest, but if it were difficult enough to be within their control, that would be perfect!

They didn’t fear their prey running too far ahead either. Even if the distance grew long, they could still catch up since their mounts were as agile in mountainous terrain as on flat ground. These mountain horses were a breed of mutated ones living among the mountains and had been domesticated for thousands of years; such beasts were quite common.

Some people bought these steeds not because they wanted to go fast but simply for their steady gait, so this kind of mountain horse was very popular, even more than a regular horse!

Hence, they would definitely catch up with their prey and torture them to death. However, what none of them could have imagined was that something happened quickly—and it wasn’t the blood of their prey but one of themselves!

Once entering mountainous terrain, they automatically spread out in a line formation, which allowed them to thoroughly search every inch of ground without missing anything.

The length of this chain-like group with attendants included was quite large—hundreds of meters—and the human wall advanced step by step!

Suddenly, a pitfall trap appeared on the ground. Several people and horses fell into it; those riding the horses were thrown out instantly.

Inside the pittrap, there were inverted wooden spikes. Those who couldn’t react in time or evade would be impaled by these spikes—cries of agony rang out at once.

But those trapped in this pit weren't as tragic as they might have thought; their legs would be pierced at most unless they entered horizontally, only to leave the same way.

The truly unfortunate were the ones thrown out by the pitfall trap. As soon as it appeared, a wooden plank with spikes also emerged ahead of them. Before those flying people could react, they had already been hit by this plank.

"Young Master!!"

"I’m not dead yet! Such traps can’t kill me!" The person who was struck was covered in blood but still alive. At the moment he was hit, he used his energy to resist it; such a trap wouldn’t be enough to take his life.

This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief since none of them had ever expected their people to die!

Soon, they started pondering why no one reported this ambush beforehand and who set up these traps.

Was it him

The thought of Xianyao suddenly appeared in everyone’s minds instinctively as she was the only one to stay behind for questioning; her action might have been a setup for these traps, otherwise how could they be caught by them.

If that were true, then they would consider Xianyao very troublesome and perhaps even terrifying. Fortunately, no one died this time or else their morale would’ve taken quite a hit.

However, it seemed like they were celebrating too early; when the injured young master was about to have someone tend to his wounds, he suddenly changed color to an ashen hue—his whiteness could be seen even against the bloodstains.

He fell onto the ground soon after with just a slight movement!

"Dead"

The others were taken aback. The situation seemed incredible; none of them had imagined such a possibility would occur. Someone immediately went down to check.

A moment later, the person solemnly reported back under everyone's watchful eyes: "He’s dead! There’s no hope!"

"How is this possible The trap earlier couldn’t have caused any fatal injuries!" someone couldn't believe it. To them, although the traps were unexpected and unfortunate to be caught in, they never thought such an attack would result in anyone's death, not even a severe injury.

But now, someone was dead, and that too without any prior warning! There must be something wrong here!

"It should be poison!" the person who checked answered.

"Should" Feng Hai and others were puzzled.

"Yeah, I’m not sure. Although there are signs of poisoning, I can’t tell what kind it is," the person nodded in response.

The others questioned, "You don't know You’re from Venom Snake Valley; aren’t poisons your specialty" The individual was indeed from Venom Snake Valley. Even though their martial prowess might not be high, they were extremely skilled in using poison, which made them very destructive and often capable of overcoming opponents far above their level.

That being the case, how could he not recognize a poison This made it hard for them to believe!

Not to say that they thought Venom Snake Valley would know all poisons. Venom Snake Valley was certainly no top-ranked sect in poison use; it was just a second-rate one. However, even second-rate sects were still highly skilled in using poison and could recognize most of them.

A poison that the people from Venom Snake Valley couldn’t identify must be something special. Someone who could use such a poison wouldn't be an ordinary person. How could someone like this become their prey

Was it just coincidence, or was it intentional

The young man from Venom Snake Valley said, "I don’t know. Maybe it’s just a coincidence; I happened to come across a poison that I didn't recognize… Hope it's so. Otherwise, I can't figure out why such a person would be here."

Feng Hai gritted his teeth and coldly said, “Regardless of what it is, we have to be more careful in the future. This time was just carelessness. With all of us together, do you think we'd fear one person”

"What about him" someone asked, pointing at the corpse.

Feng Hai said, "Have someone carry him back and hand him over to his sect after we're done with this place. Tell them that someone secretly attacked and poisoned him." He didn’t want their superiors to find out what happened, not even later on.

This excuse would likely suffice because the person who used such poison couldn't be an ordinary individual.

"Let's go, he can't have gone far. Setting up these traps must've taken quite some time," Feng Hai and others continued their search carefully, this time more cautious than before. Their assumptions weren’t entirely accurate but were mostly correct.

The person setting the traps indeed hadn’t moved too far away; however, it didn’t take much time for him to set them up. It might seem incredible to others, but not to him.

Why did he leave Because there was more work to do in setting up further traps. Having dealt with only one person so far, he wanted to eliminate all of these and instill a fear of being hunted in their hearts.

The people who died might’ve been the luckiest; they wouldn’t have to experience that kind of terror!

Even though Xianyao didn't usually care about matters unrelated to him, he would act immediately if something made him feel compelled to do so. Moreover, he had no hesitation and showed no mercy.

Hunting people for fun was absolutely intolerable to him. Since they crossed paths, he needed to step in and rectify the injustice!

Rectifying injustice was something Xianyao enjoyed doing because it aligned with his principles and allowed him to do good deeds.

Xianyao planned to deal with each one slowly not just to let them experience fear but mainly because he couldn’t handle all of them at once without getting injured himself.

Without injuring himself Of course, would Xianyao risk injury for these scoundrels Absolutely not; it wasn't worth it!

Taking care of each one individually wouldn’t be slow either as Xianyao was meticulous in his planning.

"Ahhh!"

As Feng Hai and others walked for less than a mile, another person fell into the trap. Unlike before when it might have been accidental, this time they realized how ingeniously designed these traps were—once you entered, escape was nearly impossible unless one had overwhelming strength, which none of them did.

Feng Hai roared in anger: "Are you all dead Why didn't anyone notice the trap, getting set up twice already" This wasn’t directed at the person who triggered the trap but those supposed to watch for Xianyao.rom being curious about the strange relationship between Senior Qiuxia and逍遙, they were also puzzled by why everyone seemed to be paying more attention to the ordinary young boy,逍遙, and even neglectin...
