rudges against the Tang Empire. This was not only because the Tang Empire was far more powerful than the Baiyue Kingdom, but also because officials from the Tang Empire would handle this matter. They...Chapter 244 I Don't Believe It
"Why is this happening" Among those corpses, one of them emitted a very weak voice filled with disbelief and regret. At such a time, anyone would feel remorse.
They would be sorry they had played the game, otherwise they wouldn’t have been hunted so thoroughly and all killed.
If given another chance, they believed they would behave properly as second-generation members, practice their sect’s cultivation techniques, become pillars of the sect, and...
But now there was no more "and". It was too late for everything!
In their regrets, the most profound regret should be about Xianyao. They would be sorry they had captured Xianyao in the first place; if not, none of this would have happened.
Also, if... If they hadn’t continuously pursued Xianyao and left sooner, they wouldn’t have died...
If...
If all this could be changed, they believed no one would choose such a result!!
"Eh You still have some breath left Are you dying with your eyes open There’s nothing that can be done about it. It’s your karma for doing too many evil deeds!" Xianyao looked at the "corpse" making sounds and directly pointed out the situation, which was hanging by a thread.
This "corpse" was none other than Feng Hai who had been leading these young men before. Who would have thought his life force was so robust that he still retained some breath!!
"I don’t understand. When did you set up the trap here If we hadn’t come, wouldn’t all your effort be in vain" Feng Hai couldn’t fathom it.
"That’s something I can explain to you!" Xianyao said with a smile. "I’ve always been here. While you were chasing me, I was setting up the trap here. Of course, there are also backups elsewhere! Based on your habitual thinking, you would definitely think that the return route is safe, and thus lower your guard."
"…"
That’s right, who would have thought Xianyao would continue setting up traps along the way It seemed everything was becoming clear. That’s why previously no one could find any trace of Xianyao; everyone had been searching in the wrong direction.
The reason Xianyao didn’t appear during this period was simply to prepare these traps, and once they were ready, he immediately appeared before them!
From disappearing to appearing, there seemed to have been about a day and night. That gave him plenty of time to prepare everything without any hindrance.
At that point everyone was at the front; where Xianyao was it had turned into an empty zone, which was also why he could set up traps so well.
After setting up the traps, Xianyao immediately went to lure them over. He had prepared several contingency plans, but now they didn’t matter because everyone had already fallen into his trap.
This was a blind spot in their minds; usually, one would think that places just passed through would still be safe and wouldn’t consider any changes might have occurred in the meantime.
"Who are you" Feng Hai asked again, speaking each word carefully.
“I’m Xianyao, a humble servant!" Xianyao replied.
“I don't believe it!!” In the end, Feng Hai still didn’t believe in Xianyao’s words. And this was his last statement; after that, he stopped breathing and would never breathe again.
He died with some unresolved matters because he felt that Xianyao hadn’t told the truth. He believed until death he wouldn’t know who Xianyao really was. With this uncertainty, he had to travel down the Yellow Springs Road.
If he knew Xianyao’s words were true and died with his eyes open because of disbelief in the truth, then he would surely have even greater regrets!
Truly pitiful!!
Xianyao didn’t bother to check if anyone was still alive because he didn’t care whether these people had a chance at life. Even if there were survivors, he wouldn’t finish them off.
This wasn’t only because he didn’t want to waste time but also because whoever could survive his trap might have been destined by heaven to live; it would be futile for him to go against this fate, especially not worth the effort for these scoundrels.
It seemed that Heaven itself had no intention of letting them live. Perhaps due to their many evil deeds, they didn’t deserve heavenly mercy, and none managed to escape his trap; there wasn’t a single survivor!!
Afterward, Xiaoyao didn’t even tidy up the place and left directly because there was nothing worth tidying here.
The Sky Net would turn into a pile of scrap after use. Even if an expert in mechanical arts came over, they wouldn’t be able to figure out what happened here either. If they could recognize that it was caused by mechanical traps already, it would have been great enough.
As for whether those corpses would be discovered or not, did this matter to Xiaoyao No, it didn’t matter at all!
If these corpses were found, then let them find someone to take revenge on; they wouldn't necessarily be able to find him anyway. Even if they knew about it and came for vengeance, perhaps that would even be an interesting thing.
Without some grudges in the bustling world of martial arts, something felt lacking. Perhaps this was better!
However, even if it were discovered, to trace back to Xiaoyao’s identity would certainly be extremely difficult and virtually impossible because no one here knew Xiaoyao's identity. Even if they did know about him, they wouldn’t necessarily know where he could be found.
The people who had connections with Xiaoyao—okay, as long as they dared to look for them, they would find them. But did they dare
Those related to Xiaoyao were the likes of Solo Star. In the Tang Empire, let alone that it wasn’t a place where Azure Dragon Society could make trouble, even these few people themselves weren’t something they dared provoke. Everyone was of imperial rank; their Azure Dragon Society’s sects weren't those super large sects either. Imperial ranks existed, but there were no guarantees they could defeat Solo Star and the rest, especially within the Tang Empire.
Not all sects could compete with an empire; countries had ranks, as did sects. Second-rate ones could only fight against kingdoms.
Black Snow and others If foes were also considered a kind of connection, then it was, but Black Snow and the rest were from the Demon Sect. The Demon Sect could even wipe out Heavenly Gate; exterminating Azure Dragon Society would just be as easy as flicking their finger.
In such circumstances, Azure Dragon Society’s few sects had no courage to provoke the Demon Sect either. The Demon Sect wouldn’t kowtow before gods and buddhas because they surrounded and killed Xiaoyao.
This was quite likely; it wasn't that Xiaoyao was important to the Demon Sect but rather because this was a perfect excuse for them. The Demon Sect’s actions never followed common sense, and even if such an irrational excuse didn’t exist, they would still act anyway.
However, to find out clearly that Xiaoyao had ties with the Demon Sect was almost impossible; only a few members of the Demon Sect knew about it. The rest all thought he should be an enemy who disrupted their good affairs.
No matter what, this matter had passed for Xiaoyao, and he wouldn’t pay attention to anything anymore. He would continue his bustling world of martial arts endeavors.
Xiaoyao didn’t return but prepared to pass through the mountains ahead, choosing a direction towards his destination. Although Xiaoyao wasn’t aware of this area’s map or terrain, as long as he found the correct direction, it should be fine; he would still reach his destination.
He passed through forests, crossed snowy mountains, and flew over ravines; in these past twenty days, Xiaoyao did many similar things. Today, he finally crossed this mountain range, with a vast plain before him—vast enough to see no end to it, meaning the mountain range was at the edge of this plain.
These more than twenty days in the mountains also brought Xiaoyao some harvests, although nothing compared to Heart-of-Sky Mountain. This place hadn’t been developed yet and had accumulated a lot over thousands or even tens of thousands of years; there might be some natural treasures here too. These things were usually hard to come by, but Xiaoyao happened to run into them.
This could only mean that Xiaoyao’s luck was quite good!
Of course, the places Xiaoyao passed through were all areas others couldn’t reach; he walked in a straight line, but this straight path had extremely high difficulty. Normal people and even experts wouldn't dare attempt it. However, Xiaoyao still crossed over because of his superb skills and ingenious tools.
Yeah, the score for the ingenious tools was bigger…
"Chop-chop, I’ve eaten too much wild game these days; now let’s go eat something light!" Xiaoyao suddenly said at this time.
"Chop-chop…"
Chop-Chop seemed to understand Xiaoyao's meaning because ahead was a small town, and such towns likely wouldn’t have any rare delicacies; they must be full of ordinary vegetables and radishes.
Chop-Chop had never been picky about food since the beginning; he was just a glutton, not a gourmet!!
Soon, Xiaoyao arrived at this small town, but things weren’t as he imagined. The town was bustling and not only had mountain delicacies but also some strange items and foods that Xiaoyao had never seen.
In fact, this was an adventurers' village where most people were martial artists who came here to fulfill their missions. In these mountains, although they weren’t as rich as Heart-of-Sky Mountain, there were still many treasures worth exploring.
But the direction they entered wasn't Xiaoyao’s direction; if they knew that Xiaoyao had come out from this direction, they would certainly be surprised because it was almost impossible to walk through there. There were cliff faces and ravines, with extremely harsh conditions.
A lot of people tried, but most failed; those who barely made it in faced a high risk of death. However, the other side where these martial artists went had safer terrain and generally anyone could survive if they had some strength.(To be continued)e puzzled but immediately guarded him, surrounding him as soon as he took a few steps forward.The Mo Family Clan Leader looked at Xianyao very calmly; he didn't blame his subordinates because with his...
