As she followed the tracking device, Su Ying came to a stop at the foot of an inconspicuous mountain outside the city.
She looked at the location displayed on the tracker. If she was not wrong, the messenger eagle was now inside this mountain.
The mountain road was steep so she had no choice but to continue by foot.
Su Ying dismounted and placed the horse into her interspatial store before trekking up the mountain.
A house inside the cave was hung with red silk banners. Mo Qian, who was dressed in red, walked up to Mo Tu with a joyful expression.
Mo Tu lay weakly on the bed with his eyes closed tightly. Even when Mo Qian came close to him, he was totally unmoved.
Mo Qian held Mo Tu’s hand in an infatuated daze. “Big Brother, today is our day of celebration…” He gently leaned against Mo Tu’s ear. “I have been waiting for this day for a long time.”
As he spoke, he straightened his body and stretched out his hand to take off Mo Tu’s robe and helped him change into a clean red robe.
Mo Qian, just kill me!
Mo Qian chuckled softly. “How could I bear to kill you, Big Brother? That is absolutely impossible.”
After Mo Qian helped Mo Tu change into his robe, he walked out.
Today is a great day of celebration for me, the Sect Master, and my big brother. Everyone will be rewarded.”
The assassins below all had strange expressions on their faces. They thought that Mo Qian had gone crazy, but then he was holding the Red Demon Token.
Congratulations, Sect Master. Congratulations, Sect Master.
Su Ying reached the mountainside very quickly. The messenger eagle should be near her.
However, she looked at the barren forest around her. There was no sign of any humans here at all.
Su Ying circled around and confirmed a location was the closest to the messenger eagle. However, there were stones all around this location, and there was no place for anyone to hide at all.
Su Ying lowered her head to look at the ground and noticed that there were scattered bloodstains not far away. She followed the bloodstains and walked down until she reached the back of the mountain. She found that there was newly dug soil covering a patch of the terrain at the back of the mountain.
Su Ying dug away part of the newly dug soil and saw that there were already stiff corpses inside. However, she could see that they hadn’t been dead for long.
She followed the trail of blood back to where she was previously. The trail of blood could not have appeared out of thin air. There must be a mechanism somewhere that led to a specific place.
Finally, she found an inconspicuous stone. She reached out to move the stone away but found that the stone was fixed. She tried to rotate the stone and only heard a click. Suddenly, there was a violent tremor under her feet.
Su Ying quickly backed away, and a moment later, an entrance appeared in the spot where she was standing.
Su Ying came to the entrance and took out a flashlight before slowly walking in.
Below the entrance was a long stone staircase. After walking for about fifteen minutes, she finally arrived in front of another stone door.
Su Ying activated the mechanism of the stone door and walked in.
The moment she opened the stone door, countless arrows flew toward her.
Su Ying furrowed her brows. With a flash, her figure quickly disappeared into her interspatial store.
She took out a bulletproof vest from her interspatial store and put it on before going out again.
As soon as she stepped out, Su Ying heard footsteps approaching. It was probably the people in the cave who heard the commotion and came to check on the situation.
Su Ying hid behind the stone door and saw two people running toward her in an instant.
She took advantage of the moment when the two of them were caught off guard and quickly knocked out one of them. When the other person heard the commotion and turned around to attack, Su Ying’s dagger was already at his neck.
That person froze and did not dare to move.
This is the Red Demon Sect’s stronghold? Where’s Mo Tu?
The person’s eyes widened slightly, but he gritted his teeth and didn’t say anything. Su Ying raised her hand and slapped him.
“Ugh!
He was slapped to the ground outright, and his mouth was instantly filled with a sickly sweet taste.
Su Ying stomped her foot on his chest. “Since I have the guts to look for this place all by myself, it proves that I have the ability to make everyone inside this place suffer eternal damnation. If you don’t want to die, then behave yourself.”
That person could see that Su Ying was just a slim, petite woman, but that one slap had almost ripped off the top of his head when it landed on his face.
If you know that this is the Red Demon Sect’s stronghold, then you should know that there are countless highly skilled experts inside…”
II
I’ll ask you again. Where’s Mo Tu?” Su Ying interrupted him impatiently.
In… inside the cave.
Su Ying pulled him up with one hand. “Lead the way.
The assassin couldn’t figure out Su Ying’s background, but just like he said, there were so many assassins in this cave. He didn’t believe Su Ying could really evade all of them!
When he thought of this, the man led Su Ying into the cave.
This cave was deeper and bigger than she had imagined. After passing through another stone door, a spacious underground palace appeared in front of her.
The assassin took advantage of Su Ying’s lapse in attention to push her hand away and turned around to flee.
Su Ying looked at his back profile and did not go after him. She had deliberately allowed him to escape. She needed to make the person hiding in the dark show himself.
Her surroundings was suddenly plunged into darkness. It was so dark that she couldn’t even see her own fingers. Su Ying had already put on her night-vision goggles. After the light dimmed, she quickly ran to the tiger bench in the cave and entered her interspatial store.
In the darkness, countless arrows flew out and shot at random in the cave. The force of those arrow shots was powerful enough to turn a highly skilled expert into a sieve!
After the arrows shot out, the person hiding in the dark came out from a high vantage point. “Light the torches and see if the intruder is dead.”
“Yes, Sir.
Brightness was restored to the cave, but there was nothing in the huge cave other than the arrows that had fallen to the ground. Su Ying was gone.
The man was astounded when he could not see Su Ying. “That’s impossible. Where did she go? The stone door was not open, so she could not leave at all.
As he spoke, someone opened a stone door behind the tiger bench and walked out. They then got people to search the surroundings. After confirming that Su Ying was nowhere to be seen, they realized that Su Ying’s ability was not to be underestimated. “Go. Inform the Sect Master at once that an intruder has barged into the cave.”
Yes, Sir.
Su Ying stood behind the tiger bench and watched those men leave before going after them.
The people who were still in the cave seemed to have sensed something and quickly went in hot pursuit.
“An intruder has entered the cave. Immediately gather everyone to defend!
As she was unfamiliar with the layout inside the cave, the assassins who were chasing Su Ying quickly caught up with her.
Su Ying swung out the electric baton in her hand and quickly pushed the pursuers back. Her goal was to locate the leader of the Red Demon Sect.
She repelled the pursuing assassins and followed the messenger to a house covered with hanging red silk banners.
Su Ying frowned. These red silk banners didn’t make her feel joyous at all. Rather, they made her feel unlucky.
The door of the house was suddenly opened and Mo Qian walked out. He was dressed in all red and his dewy, glistening eyes were really begging for people’s affection. If he did not have such a crazed look in his eyes, Su Ying would have thought that he was a harmless little rabbit.
It’s you. Who exactly are you?” Mo Qian recognized Su Ying.
The electric baton in Su Ying’s hand was still crackling as she glared at him icily. “You’re the Sect Master of the Red Demon Sect. You’re the one who sent people to assassinate the Empress of the Chu State time and again?”
Mo Qian was well aware of the Red Demon Sect’s internal affairs. Back then, he was the one who had tasked Bai Cha to interfere in the struggle for imperial power in the Chu State. The foolish ruler of the Chu State thought that the Red Demon Sect was being used by him, but he did not know that Mo Qian was only using the ruler to completely entrench the Red Demon Sect’s influence in the Chu State.
Mo Qian didn’t answer.. Instead, he said with jealousy and hatred, “Don’t tell me that Big Brother is unwilling to obey me because of you?”
