Supreme Demon God

Chapter 267: Merciless

Although Mo Xiu asked Qin Shao to help him go to the Extreme Sword Hall to ask for information, he did not trust Qin Shao wholeheartedly.

Therefore, without Qin Shao knowing anything, his every move was silently followed by Mo Xiu's Divine Consciousness. 

Originally, it was just a piece of information, and Mo Xiu didn't think there would be any problems.

But after his Divine Consciousness forcibly penetrated the Extreme Sword Hall, he discovered that Qin Shao had been approached by someone.

This subsequent development was not much beyond Mo Xiu's expectations.

It was Lei Zhen's people who came to Qin Shao. The purpose was to make Qin Shao betray Mo Xiu and help Lei Zhen stare at Mo Xiu's every move. It was even better to help collect evidence that Mo Xiu killed the Nine Sky Thunder Cloud Lion.

Naturally, Lei Zhen himself didn't need to come forward in person. But even if Lei Zhen didn't come forward, Lei Zhen's name was there, it was enough to make Qin Shao's heart stir.

Since he was targeted by Lei Zhen's people, Qin Shao could not refuse even if he wanted to. So he agreed almost without hesitation.

But it was a pity that he didn't know that Mo Xiu had been paying attention to every move in the Extreme Sword Hall.

After getting the information from Extreme Sword Hall, Qin Shao even took the initiative to hand it to Lei Zhen's people, asking Lei Zhen's people to modify the content of the information.

Finally, he returned to Wonder Sword Peak with the modified information.

This information contained details about those who joined the Everlasting Sword Sect this year, including who was favored by which elders.

The basic information did not need to be modified. Even if it was modified, it was easy to be noticed that something was wrong.

However, who was favored by which elders could be modified. In this way, it might provoke a quarrel between Mo Xiu and other elders of the Everlasting Sword Sect.

Unfortunately, Lei Zhen's people didn't know what kind of people Mo Xiu really liked. If they knew, maybe they wouldn't deliberately spend time to modify the information in the materials.

After returning to Wonder Sword Peak from Extreme Sword Hall, Qin Shao immediately gave the information to Mo Xiu. But he didn't mention a word about what happened in Extreme Sword Hall.

After Mo Xiu got the information, he didn't check it immediately, nor did he give any instructions to Qin Shao. Instead, he called Liu Hongying in front of him.

"Elder, what is your order?" Liu Hongying asked with some confusion.

Mo Xiu looked at Qin Shao, then at Liu Hongying, and said, "You two seem to be a little dissatisfied with being handyman disciples here. I can understand this. After all, I am different from the other elders of the Everlasting Sword Sect. My status is not as dazzling as theirs. It is normal for you to have complaints in your heart. I am not going to do anything to you, but..."

Having said that, Mo Xiu paused.

Liu Hongying and Qin Shao swallowed, always feeling that Mo Xiu's next words would be critical, so they couldn't help but become nervous in their hearts.

Mo Xiu continued, "In any case, since you will serve me here, you are equivalent to my people. You can complain, but if you betray me and do something against your conscience behind my back, don't think you can hide it from my eyes. Don't think I will be merciful."

"Elder, please rest assured, no matter what, Liu Hongying will never betray elder," Liu Hongying said hastily.

Qin Shao subconsciously chuckled in his heart, and couldn't help thinking about it.

As the person who had just been found by Lei Zhen, now Mo Xiu said that betrayal was not allowed, and said, "Don't think you can hide it from my eyes".

Was it a coincidence?

Couldn't hide from Mo Xiu's eyes?

Essentially, no one's Divine Consciousness could penetrate the Extreme Sword Hall and check the situation in the Extreme Sword Hall.

What's more, Mo Xiu just came from the Seraphic Sword Sect to the Everlasting Sword Sect and had just become the elder of the Everlasting Sword Sect.

He was very unfamiliar with everything in the Everlasting Sword Sect. It was impossible to for him to understand it so thoroughly in such a short time.

But if it was not a coincidence, then something must be wrong.

As he was thinking about it, Mo Xiu's gaze fell on him. Liu Hongying beside him also pulled his sleeves and motioned him to show his loyalty quickly.

After noticing his own failure to react timely, he quickly said, "Don't worry, elder, Qin Shao promises that he will never betray elder."

"Is it?"

Mo Xiu's eyes suddenly became a little cold, "Qin Shao, you're not bad. You dare to open talk nonsense in front of me so 'sincerely'."

Qin Shao was stunned for a moment, and a sense of uneasiness emerged in his heart.

But on the surface, he looked confused, "Elder, what do you mean? Although I have just been sent to serve elder, I respect elder very much. Naturally, I would not betray elder, so how can I talk nonsense?"

Liu Hongying also helped and said, "Elder, Qin Shao is not that kind of person. I can guarantee that."

"You can guarantee that?" Mo Xiu glanced at Liu Hongying. "Or, have you already colluded with Qin Shao?"

Liu Hongying was taken aback, and quickly defended, "Elder, you have misunderstood. I have no improper relationship with Qin Shao..."

Before she finished speaking, Mo Xiu raised his hand and motioned her to stop there. After that, he immediately looked at Qin Shao, waiting for Qin Shao's statement.

Qin Shao's thoughts turned sharply, a trace of entanglement flashed past, and he quickly said, "Elder, I really don't have any idea of betraying you. If you feel that I have betrayed you, the big deal is that I will go to the sect to apply for resignation from here."

"No need."

Mo Xiu snorted coldly, too lazy to accompany Qin Shao anymore. He instantly raised his hand to grab Qin Shao over.

Qin Shao was shocked and hurriedly shouted, "I am innocent! Elder, this humble one is really guiltless! I really have no idea of betraying you!"

"The coffin is in front of you, but you still have a hard mouth?" Mo Xiu curled his lips. "Since you don't have any idea of betraying me, why did you promise so simply when Lei Zhen's people came to you? I have just given you several opportunities. Why didn't you take the initiative to confess and tell the story from beginning to end?"

"..."

Qin Shao only felt a bang in his mind, and the huge shock made him speechless for a while.

By now, Liu Hongying also noticed something wrong, and quickly asked, "Elder, Qin Shao..."

Halfway through the conversation, Qin Shao's body burst open and turned into a mist of blood. The mountain breeze passed by, and the blood mist dissipated.

Liu Hongying was dumbfounded.

Before, she thought that Mo Xiu was not arrogant or impetuous. He was a very good-tempered elder, and coupled with the fact that he had just arrived from the Seraphic Sword Sect, she and Qin Shao should be treated kindly.

It now appeared that her thinking was very wrong.

It was true that Mo Xiu was not arrogant or impetuous. But if they really angered Mo Xiu, it would not be as simple as driving people out of Wonder Sword Peak!

Thinking that she had just pleaded for Qin Shao, she couldn't help being shocked.

She knelt on the ground and said to Mo Xiu, "Elder, I didn't know Qin Shao would be such a person. I didn't intend to protect him earlier, nor did I have a relationship with him..."

Mo Xiu's gaze fell on Liu Hongying. He was silent for a while before he said lightly, "Get up. If you really betrayed me, you would be dead by now."

Liu Hongying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said quickly, "Thank you for your trust. Elder. I will definitely not betray elder in the future."

Mo Xiu nodded lightly and said nothing.

After Liu Hongying got up, remembering what had happened, she couldn't help asking, "Elder, what you meant just now... Elder Lei's people approached Qin Shao and asked Qin Shao to betray you. Qin Shao agreed without hesitation? "

"Correct," Mo Xiu nodded.

Liu Hongying hesitated for a while, and said, "If I were found by Elder Lei, I am afraid that even I would not dare to refuse easily. If this happens to me next, I..."

While speaking, she looked at Mo Xiu. Although the following words were not said, the meaning was obvious.

She wanted to seek Mo Xiu's opinion.

Mo Xiu glanced at Liu Hongying, and said blankly, "You still need me to teach you this kind of thing?"

Liu Hongying lowered her head to think for a while, and then asked, "I will pretend to agree, and then I will report to you later. Is this okay?"

"Yeah," Mo Xiu didn't have any comments.

Liu Hongying asked again, "Then what if they are to ask me some information about elder on the spot?"

"Do the same. Just say something foolish," Mo Xiu replied.

"Understood," Liu Hongying breathed a sigh of relief.

...

After sending Liu Hongying away, Mo Xiu checked the information in his hand.

The information was recorded in the jade slip.

When he just got the information, Mo Xiu didn't know which information in it had been modified, but the problem was not big. Anyway, he just wanted to take a look at it. When selecting disciples, what he would use was his keen eyes.

As Ming Huang said, there were indeed hundreds of people who joined the Everlasting Sword Sect this year.

The information included the names, origins, appearance, age, aptitude, cultivation level, time of cultivation, etc. of those people. It could be said that almost all the information was clear.

Mo Xiu browsed the information one by one and quickly found information about Ming Huang.

The name was indeed Ming Huang.

He came from a small village in Flying Leaf Province. He was only sixteen years old, but he had been cultivating for nearly ten years.

His qualifications were marked as ordinary, and his cultivation was only in the Great Perfection-stage of the Spirit Vessel Realm.

It took nearly ten years of cultivation to reach the Spirit Vessel Realm. This kind of aptitude was indeed ordinary enough, and it felt like a miracle that Ming Huang could pass the previous rounds of assessment.

But Mo Xiu didn't know how the previous rounds of assessments were conducted, so he was not sure if Ming Huang was too lucky.

Anyway, from the last round, Ming Huang's luck was good enough.

If he didn't happen to flee to the vicinity of the Teleportation Array, if Mo Xiu didn't happen to go there timely, Ming Huang would be dead by now.

Mo Xiu didn't really care about Ming Huang's aptitude. What he liked was the Phoenix bloodline in Ming Huang's body.

Even a very thin phoenix bloodline was enough for him to focus on.

Apart from Ming Huang, there were no hidden geniuses for the time being. But there seemed to be quite a few geniuses among those who entered the Everlasting Sword Sect this year.

They were not geniuses in the eyes of the public, but they were geniuses that even Mo Xiu had to recognize. He even considered whether to compete with the elders of the Everlasting Sword Sect.
