It was late at night, so dark that one could not see their own fingers. The moon was hidden somewhere.
The villagers had already fallen asleep. On the road not far away, the sound of hurried horse hooves gradually approached. The people on horseback were wearing the same night clothing, which covered their entire bodies. Only their faces were exposed, and no expression could be seen on their faces. The weapon on his back was wrapped in a long black cloth, revealing only the hilt.
A moment later, the crowd on horseback had arrived at the village entrance. The village was still quiet, and only the faint sound of snoring could be heard.
This group of people jumped off the horses. There were about 20 of them, and the leader was a young man in his thirties. After he counted the people he had brought, he nodded to them and quickly followed the path to the village. From their speed and movements, they were all first-class masters in the world. The lightness skill they used was the ultimate skill of the largest cultivation sect-Phantom Footstep.
Cultivation sects were the most mysterious existences in the world. They rarely appeared in the world of ordinary people. Even if there were, they would only occasionally travel. Most of the time, they would cultivate on the mountains of their own sects to achieve the legendary strength and the place that all cultivators in the world dreamed of.
However, today, so many people had suddenly appeared in this small town, and all of them were disguised as ordinary martial arts experts. It was not difficult to tell that what was going to happen next was a secret operation. It was very likely that a bloody storm of cultivation sects would be staged at this moment.
When the group of people came to a remote house, they stopped. The leading youth made a gesture, and the other youths drew their swords from their backs and held them tightly in their hands. The swords in their hands looked ordinary, but they were not ordinary. When these people held their swords in their hands, a faint blue light slowly emitted from the sword.
The crowd spread out around the house and quickly approached it. When they were five meters away from the house, the roof suddenly exploded. A couple in their thirties shot out. Each of them held a sharp sword in their hands. The sword in the man's hand was still emitting a dazzling silver light. The sword in the woman's hand was also flowing with silver light, but it had dimmed significantly.
When the group saw that their target had appeared, they quickly took a few steps back and waited for the two of them to fall into their encirclement.
The young man leading the team saw the silver light emitting from the couple's swords. He was stunned at first, and his eyes were filled with surprise. After a moment, he disappeared. After all, he was also an expert in cultivation. This situation was not enough to affect their minds.
The couple slowly descended from the sky and landed on the ground, but they didn't raise a single speck of dust. From the surprise of the leader and the light of the swords in their hands, it could be concluded that the two of them were the few cultivation masters in the world, and their internal energy had been trained to the point where they could control it freely.
At this moment, the man of the couple spoke. His name was Duan Qingkong. Duan Qingkong sighed as he looked at the leader in front of him and said in disbelief,""Seventh Junior Brother, do you really want to kill us all?”
The leader, the Seventh Junior Brother, was called Zhang Shengquan. Zhang Shengquan looked at his former senior brother with deep affection and said helplessly,""Eldest Senior Brother, you've made a new breakthrough in your cultivation these years.”
After Duan Qingkong heard that, he smiled slightly, as if he was a little disdainful.
Zhang Shengquan could tell what they were thinking from Duan Qingkong's eyes, so he said,""You know that this is not my intention. It's Second Senior Brother who wants to kill you. We can't disobey the Sect Leader's orders, so I can only follow his orders.”At this point, he paused for a moment and then slowly said,"Don't worry, I won't make a move today. As long as you escape from my Death Gate Array, I'll let you go.”
A subordinate beside him heard the leader's words and reminded him,"Sect Master, didn't Sect Master ask us to…"
"If there's anything, I'll take responsibility. Just do your best.”Zhang Shengquan interrupted his subordinate.
"Good!" Duan Qingkong smiled with a hint of mockery. He raised his sword gently and said resentfully,""Since he is heartless, don't blame me for being unjust. Seventh Junior Brother, I'm sorry for offending you.”After saying that, he and his wife flew towards the Death Gate Array that had been set up long ago. However, they flew in the opposite direction, one in front and one behind. They all knew that the Death Gate Formation was the most powerful formation among the Eight Killing Formations. If the surrounding people attacked together, no matter how powerful they were, it would be difficult to escape from the formation. Of course, he would not be able to escape death.
