“I can’t let you ruin my peaceful life now. Blame yourselves.”
After taking one last look at the dozen or so corpses on the ground, Bai Hao's mental clone dissipated, leaving only the bodies behind.
From then on, the Kaishan Sect lost a sect leader and half of its elite disciples, which greatly reduced its strength. Moreover, it would not pose any threat to the Shenxuan Sect in the short term.
...
Mo Shan is dead, and the news will surely cause a huge uproar when it is returned to the Kaishan Sect.
Upon hearing this news, Chen Xuan was also shocked. He never expected that Mo Shan would die, especially on the way from the Divine Profound Sect to the Opening Mountain Sect.
It would be hard to believe that this has nothing to do with the Divine Profound Sect.
In fact, the Grand Elder of the Kaishan Sect also came to demand an explanation, but Chen Xuan directly and sternly refused.
Because Chen Xuan didn't know what had happened, he couldn't give any answer to the Grand Elder of the Kaishan Sect who came to demand an explanation.
Even if he didn't do it, Chen Xuan wasn't afraid when Mo Shan came to threaten him. Now that Mo Shan is dead, the Kai Shan Sect only has one Grand Elder left, who poses no threat to them whatsoever.
However, Yuan Xingtian and the others were quite happy after driving away the people from the Kaishan Sect.
"I wonder which expert helped us get rid of those annoying guys from Moshan. Everyone's happy now." Yuan Xingtian was very dissatisfied back then, thinking that he must take revenge when he had the chance, and let the people of Kaishan Sect know that their Shenxuan Sect was not to be trifled with.
But to his utter surprise, before he could unleash his full power, Mo Shan died on the way.
"Didn't you keep saying you wanted to attack the Kaishan Sect? I thought you were going to unleash your power and wipe out Moshan," Chuan Yiping joked from the side.
Yuan Xingtian didn't take his teasing to heart, but accepted it generously, even putting on an air of arrogance:
"If I truly have the ability to eliminate Mo Shang, I will not keep a low profile. At that time, in the entire sect, if I claim to be second, who dares to claim to be first?!"
"That's enough, hurry up and get to work, it's time to make lunch." Xiao Qi patted Yuan Xingtian's belly and laughed.
"Tch, you're just jealous of me. One day, I'll definitely stand at the top of the world and be ranked first alongside the legendary Sun God!" Yuan Xingtian's face was full of longing.
The people standing nearby laughed but didn't say anything.
Bai Hao smiled and began preparing the meal.
He killed Mo Shan, but no one would suspect that he was the one who killed him.
Regarding Mo Shan's death, most people believe that he committed numerous evils and was simply killed by a passing expert who saw injustice.
He was just unlucky.
Although this claim is a bit far-fetched, it is currently the most credible one. After all, Chen Xuan is only at the early stage of breaking through the barrier in the entire Divine Profound Sect, and he cannot kill Mo Shan and more than a dozen others in one move so easily.
...
Time continued to pass.
This winter has indeed been very cold, with snow disasters occurring in many places, resulting in no harvest and many people going hungry.
Fortunately, the Divine Profound Sect had stockpiled enough demon beast meat in advance, so this winter was just a little colder than usual for them, but otherwise there were no major changes.
They not only didn't go hungry, but they also ate their fill and had a very prosperous winter, with everyone enjoying their food immensely.
Even after winter had passed, they still had a considerable amount of the monster meat they had stored up.
Winter is gone, spring is here.
The mountains and forests, which had been covered in ice and snow all winter, have now been rejuvenated with lush greenery, sprouting tender green branches and spreading the green of life across the entire forest.
After the ravages of a harsh winter, spring arrives, and all things revive, their vitality even more abundant than before.
The Shenxuan Sect also began to purchase fresh vegetables again in the town at the foot of the mountain, with Yuan Xingtian and Chuan Yiping still in charge of the purchasing.
Everyone else continued with their usual routines, going about their business as usual.
Bai Hao and Zhao Lin went to the back mountain to collect firewood.
After being covered in snow all winter, the fallen branches and leaves are soaked through. They need to be dried before they can be burned, so the sooner they are collected, the better, as they will be easier to dry.
"Big deal, big deal!"
As soon as Bai Hao returned to the backyard, he heard Yuan Xingtian shouting.
"Old Tian, didn't you go to town to buy vegetables? Why are you back so soon? Is something important? Surely it's not that the Kaishan Sect people came to cause trouble again?" Bai Hao asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Xingtian scoffed and said, "Even the sect leader of Kaishan Sect has kicked the bucket. They're like monkeys scattering when the tree falls. We're already being very kind by not finishing them off. How could they dare to come looking for trouble with us?"
"What is that? What major incident could you possibly encounter while buying groceries?"
“Old Tian won’t tell me, I will.” Chuan Yiping, who was standing to the side, couldn’t stand Yuan Xingtian’s tendency to keep things to himself.
"A major sect has come to the town to recruit disciples—the largest sect in the Southern Region, the Falling Sea Sect! And it's said that the one who came is the Falling Sea Sect's senior sister, who is very beautiful, and she's in the town right now."
"The Falling Sea Sect?"
Upon hearing these three words, Bai Hao paused slightly in his movements.
"Old Ping, you interrupted me!" Yuan Xingtian wanted nothing more than to kick Chuan Yiping, so he quickly cut him off to finish his sentence.
"It's strange, really. Why would such a large sect as the Falling Sea Sect come to such a remote and impoverished place to recruit students?"
To be honest, how many talented people can there be in such a remote and impoverished place? Even if there are, they have long been divided up by the Shenxuan Sect and Kaishan Sect. There is no way that Luohai Sect would have any left to recruit.
Unless they are willing to accept disciples who are almost devoid of talent and whom even the Divine Profound Sect would not accept, but that is virtually impossible.
"Don't worry about them, let's just focus on our own things and get ready to cook," Xiaoqi said, patting the group on the shoulder.
Just as they were preparing to cook, a disciple rushed in.
"Senior Sister, someone's here!"
"Who's here?"
"They seem to be from the Falling Sea Sect. They're making quite a show of force. Senior Sister, you should take a look quickly," the disciple said anxiously.
Upon hearing this, the group's faces were filled with curiosity, and they immediately put down what they were doing and went out. Even Xiao Qi, who usually didn't like to join in the fun, followed them out. After all, it was the Luo Hai Sect that had come, the most powerful sect in the Southern Region, which was incomparable to the Shen Xuan Sect.
They were both curious and somewhat apprehensive about what the people from the Falling Sea Sect were up to in their small sect.
I'm afraid they're here to cause trouble, just like the Kaishan Sect...
