He didn't care who the Poison Sect's Sword Pavilion elder was. As long as he took a fancy to a woman, no one would be able to escape his clutches.
In this remote place, he could cover the sky with one hand. So what if he killed the Poison Sect's Sword Pavilion elder? What can a few Sword Pavilion disciples do to me?
Wei Zhongxiong couldn't help but laugh at this thought.
The Sword Pavilion elder was so angry that he coughed up blood. His breathing quickened as he viciously said, "Wei Zhongxiong, a straightforward person doesn't resort to insinuations. You came here for the immortal swords in the tomb, right? But let me tell you, only I can lead people into the tomb. If you don't believe me, you can send people in to take a look."
This was what the Sword Pavilion elder was relying on and why he chose to retreat for now.
Since the Poison Sect's seniors had passed down the ancient ruins, they naturally had to explain the way in and out.
Wei Zhongxiong couldn't help but be skeptical as he looked at the Sword Pavilion elder.
After a moment of thought, he snorted. "If I find out you're lying to me, I'll make you wish you were dead."
Then, he ordered several disciples of the Sword Pavilion of the Heaven Sect to enter the ancient tomb and begin to investigate whether it was as dangerous as the Sword Pavilion Elder had said.
Several Sword Pavilion disciples immediately opened the tomb and entered. After waiting for a while, there was no movement from inside and no one came out.
They still had patience and continued to wait.
But after half a cup of tea's worth of time passed, no one came out. There wasn't even the slightest sound. Wei Zhongxiong had to reconsider the Sword Pavilion elder's words.
That is, this ancient tomb is really dangerous, and it is even difficult to enter.
His face was ashen. He had sent three outstanding disciples of the Sword Firmament Pavilion, and he reckoned that they had all died inside.
Of course, this was his own doing and he couldn't blame anyone else.
Wei Zhongxiong snorted and pointed at the Sword Pavilion elder and Xiao Yang. "You two go in and bring me the immortal swords. I'll kill one of you for each sword missing."
He wasn't stupid. Since they couldn't enter, he might as well let the Sword Pavilion elder lead the Poison Sect's disciples in. Even if they brought out the immortal swords, they'd still end up in his hands. Plus, he didn't need to take any risks. This was killing two birds with one stone.
Jiange heaved a sigh of relief. This was for the best.
She glanced at Xiao Yang and nodded at Xiao Yang. Then she ordered the disciples behind her, "Follow me in. Follow me closely."
She took the lead and entered the tomb, followed by Xiao Yang and the others.
A disciple of the Sky Sect walked up to Wei Zhongxiong and asked in a low voice, "Master, should we follow them?"
Wei Zhongxiong maintained his signature smile. After laughing for a while, he looked at the ancient tomb. He narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "No need. Just stay here and guard. Anyway, there's a spy inside. What's there to be afraid of?"
Yes, one of these disciples was a traitor. Otherwise, Wei Zhongxiong wouldn't have been able to find them so quickly.
So far, Xiao Yang was the only one who had discovered the traitor. However, Xiao Yang couldn't make it public now, so as to avoid division.
Right now, they needed to be united. Once their morale was shaken, even the Sword Pavilion Elder would find it hard to stabilize them.
After entering the ancient tomb, the surroundings were very dark. Only the soft light of the Night Illumination Pearls allowed them to barely see their surroundings. Their spirit sense was suppressed in the ancient tomb. Anyone who released their spirit sense would feel as if their spirit was being cut by sword qi, causing their spirit sea to feel piercing pain.
Thus, almost everyone withdrew their spirit sense and relied on their eyes to see the path.
Only Xiao Yang was a little special. He had cultivated the mental attack of the Traceless Dream. Therefore, in order to avoid being cut by the sword Qi, he directly condensed his divine sense into the shape of a sword. Then, he scanned his surroundings to check the situation, which made it much easier for him.
There were many dangerous places, but under his reminder, they managed to avoid them.
"Everyone, rest here. We've been walking for half a day."
The Sword Pavilion Elder ordered.
The disciples relaxed and sat down cross-legged to recuperate.
Xiao Yang approached the Sword Pavilion Elder. He pretended to check the surroundings with the Sword Pavilion Elder, but secretly took out a spirit stone and handed it to him.
The scene he saw when he used the Time Reversal Technique was directly recorded by him.
This was a good opportunity to let the Sword Pavilion Elder know the situation, so that the Sword Pavilion Elder and the others would not know if they were betrayed by a traitor.
The Sword Pavilion Elder was a little confused at first, but when she saw Sword 13's braid playing tricks during the retreat, she immediately guessed the general situation.
Although the Sword Pavilion Elder was a woman, she was not stupid. On the contrary, she was a person who paid more attention to details and was sensitive.
When she thought of Wei Zhongxiong's arrival and looked at this scene, she immediately came to the conclusion that Sword 13 was a spy, a traitor.
The reason why Wei Zhongxiong did not let anyone follow them in until now was definitely because Sword 13, the traitor, was there, so they were very assured.
The Sword Pavilion Elder did not doubt the authenticity of the scene Xiao Yang gave her.
She remembered that when they were in Chaos City, Xiao Yang relied on the Time Reversal Technique to track down the food that evil cultivators had stolen. The trust between them was indescribable, and they could be friends with their lives.
Since they had already discovered that Sword 13 was a spy, they definitely could not end the other party hastily. This would definitely make Wei Zhongxiong hesitate.
Since Wei Zhongxiong was using this traitor, why not also use this traitor?
If they could lure Wei Zhongxiong in, and then use the ancient tomb's mechanism to kill Wei Zhongxiong, it would simply be too beautiful.
The Sword Pavilion Elder could not help but look at Xiao Yang as soon as she thought of this plan. Xiao Yang smiled and communicated with the Sword Pavilion Elder with his eyes. The two of them quickly reached an agreement.
For the time being, they would pretend that they had not discovered the traitor, and then find an opportunity to let the traitor spread false information to lure Wei Zhongxiong in.
Even if they could not kill Wei Zhongxiong, they could trap a large number of outstanding disciples of the Heaven Sect and Sword Pavilion. This way, they could also eliminate the threat and pressure for themselves.
"Let's continue exploring."
After resting for a while, the Sword Pavilion Elder got up and called out to the Sword Pavilion disciples to continue walking into the depths of the ancient tomb.
The deeper they went into the ancient tomb, the sharper and fiercer the sword qi inside. Many Sword Pavilion disciples were so frightened that their expressions changed drastically. Fortunately, the Sword Pavilion Elder had mastered the method to enter the inner tomb. Otherwise, they would definitely be cut into pieces by these terrifying sword qi.
Even Xiao Yang was somewhat fearful when he saw these terrifying sword qi.
"Look, it's an immortal sword."
After entering the Inner Tomb, they immediately saw the Immortal Sword hanging in the middle of the Great Hall.
