822 Leading the Way
“Well said. Good dogs don’t block the way. Those who block the way are cowards. How can a coward be dealt with? Of course, we have to kill him!”
Su Xiaolu’s words were frivolous and mocking.
Her words angered the three of them.
The three of them were drunk. They sized up Su Xiaolu first and immediately exchanged glances. The eldest said fiercely, “You blind thing. Coincidentally, I’m angry today, so I’ll kill you! Second Brother, Third Brother, go—”
He was already unhappy today. Now that he met Su Xiaolu, who was blocking her way, his anger instantly rose.
This thin and small man could not even be considered a man. The three of them could deal with him in minutes.
Moreover, they were all superpower users.
Su Xiaolu also drew her sword. The cold sword was unstoppable. In an instant, two of the three men fell.
The other person stood still in fear. It took him a long time to find his words. “You, you’re the woman who underwent the Tribulation Transcendence—”
Su Xiaolu was much stronger than them. This kind of exchange was crushing. They had no chance of winning. She did not want them to escape, so they could not.
“Heroine, spare my life. Heroine, spare my life—”
He knelt down and gave up resisting.
Su Xiaolu wiped her sword on the corpses of the two people who fell. She said lightly, “This isn’t the first time you’ve stolen someone else’s cultivation results, right?”
The man was stunned. He began to break out in a cold sweat and his thoughts began to race. How could he survive?
“Let me ask you, are there many people like you now? Do you belong to an organization?”
If there were already sects, what about such evil cultivators?
She felt that there was. Even if it wasn’t famous, it must be growing in secret.
The man did not dare to answer. Su Xiaolu’s sword poked his shoulder. His gaze was dark. Since he was going to die either way, he might as well risk it.
He shook the medicine bag in his sleeve into his hand and secretly crushed it. Just as he was about to raise his hand and raise it, his arm was splashed with blood. His palm was lying motionless on the ground.
The dull pain entered his sea of consciousness and he screamed, “Ah, ah—”
He looked at Su Xiaolu sinisterly, as if he wanted to skin her alive.
How could this woman be so vicious and ruthless?
“Tell me the location of your lair and I’ll spare you.”
Su Xiaolu wiped the blood off her sword on him indifferently and said heartlessly.
The man’s face was covered in sweat from the pain. He was terrified and regretful. His thoughts only hesitated for a moment before he gave in. “The cave of You Shan. Don’t kill me. Don’t kill me…”
“Are there many people in the cave? Who is the Cave Master?”
Su Xiaolu asked coldly. She was now interested in this cave.
“There are many. The terrain there is complicated and protected by an array formation. You can’t enter without someone leading the way. Heroine, don’t kill me. I can bring you there!”
Of the three of them, the eldest brother and second brother were killed in a single move, leaving him alone. He had also been with the eldest brother and second brother yesterday. He did not believe that he would be so lucky to be let go. This woman must want to deal with him after extracting useful information. If he wanted to live, he had to make himself valuable.
“Then lead the way.”
Su Xiaolu smiled. She did not care about this person’s thoughts. What was wrong with letting him live for a few more days?
“Then let’s go.”
Su Xiaolu said calmly. Her expression did not change. She wiped her sword clean on the man and turned to leave.
The man looked at the corpses of his two brothers and a trace of viciousness flashed across his eyes. He gritted his teeth and followed.
When dawn came, someone would discover their corpses and report them to the government office. The government office would deal with them. The heads of his two brothers would definitely be cut off and hung on the city gate to announce to the world. This was the outcome of evil cultivators. They would not even have an intact corpse.
He wished he could kill Su Xiaolu and avenge his brother, but he couldn’t.
He could only bear the pain and leave. It would not be long before this woman paid the price for everything she had done. At that time, he would definitely cut off her limbs to comfort the spirits of his two brothers in heaven.
Sensing his footsteps, Su Xiaolu smiled and said coldly, “Clean it up yourself. It’s dirty.”
The man endured the pain and tore off his clothes to bandage himself.
After leaving the city, Su Xiaolu looked at the man and asked him to lead the way.
One horse was for him to ride, and Su Xiaolu rode the other.
The man looked around in confusion and saw nothing. He only felt terrified. Where was the spirit beast? Why couldn’t he see it?
He wanted to ask, but he didn’t dare.
The cave of You Shan was not in Qingzhou. It would take five days to travel there.
The man only kept quiet on the first day. After traveling for a day, he looked at Su Xiaolu and began to speak. “Heroine, a powerful person like you shouldn’t be unknown.”
They all knew about the mighty figures in the world who made evil cultivators like them tremble in fear. If they encountered them, they would not foolishly cause trouble for them. They would only avoid them far away.
If they had known how powerful she was, the three brothers wouldn’t have followed her at all.
Su Xiaolu did not respond.
The man touched his nose in embarrassment. After a moment of silence, he began to repent and complain.
He told Su Xiaolu that his name was Zhao Lin. The two people who died were his eldest brother and second brother. The reason why they became evil cultivators was that they were tricked and went astray.
Zhao Lin said that as long as Su Xiaolu spared his life, he would definitely change his ways.
Su Xiaolu was still unmoved. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to You Shan, Zhao Lin could not eat or sleep. He had a strong feeling that as long as he arrived, he would definitely be killed.
Su Xiaolu did not speak to him, but she did not ask him to shut up.
Looking at the mountains in front of him, Zhao Lin pointed at the mountain surrounded by cliffs and said, “Heroine, that’s the cave of You Shan. Our You Shan Sect is built on that mountain. There’s only one way in and out. Without someone leading the way, you won’t be able to enter no matter what.”
...
Zhao Lin emphasized this to let Su Xiaolu know that if she did not keep him alive, she could forget about going in.
He broke out in cold sweat. He had never seen such a woman. She knew that the cave of You Shan was an evil cultivator sect, but she could hold back and not ask a word.
He was afraid that she would make a move, but Su Xiaolu did not do anything all the way to the foot of the mountain.
“Go in and ask them to come out in three days. I’ll give them a quick death.”
Su Xiaolu had no intention of going in. She spoke to Zhao Lin for the first time in a few days.
Zhao Lin thought that he had heard wrongly. He was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had not heard wrongly. He did not know how to react, but if he did not leave now, when would he? Without hesitation, he immediately stepped into the array formation.
He ran a few steps and looked back. Seeing that Su Xiaolu really did not come in, the corners of his mouth twitched and a ruthless look appeared in his eyes. She had underestimated her enemy.
