Chapter 600 - Betrayal

“Junior Sang, junior brother, where do you two want to escape to?”

A familiar teasing voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Sang Shener and An Hao were extremely shocked. A ball of scarlet red flame instantly condensed in An Hao’s hand, and was about to be thrown outside the door.

Sang Shener grabbed An Hao’s shoulder, signalling for him to be patient, and said: “Second Senior Brother, what are you doing here?”

With a “clang” sound, the small door of the wooden house was struck and flew away, while Ma Wei was the first to enter. However, the people who followed behind him caused Sang Shener and An Hao’s expressions to change.

“Eldest senior brother, I didn’t expect that you would do the same.”

The person behind Ma Wei was indeed the Sang Lin Peak’s Sang Genshou, surnamed Qi.

Brother Qi snorted, pointed at the hole on the ground, and said, “What are you doing? Escape? Are you two planning to betray the sect?”

Ma Wei smiled complacently and said, “I knew you two were up to no good. Eldest senior brother, how did I say it? As expected, teacher was biased towards the two of them. Who the hell knows about you?” “If I didn’t keep you watching them, they would have disappeared withourace just a little later.”

Ma Wei looked at An Hao and Ma Wei and sneered: “What, do you still need me and Big Senior to come over? Come with us obediently! ”

An Hao clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his flesh, if not for Sang Shener’s hand grabbing onto his arm tightly, he would have exploded towards Ma Wei, even if he could not escape, he would not be able to make this vile person feel proud.

Just as he was about to inform the others to come, a loud sound came from behind him. Ma Wei’s mocking smile froze on his face, and when he lowered his head with difficulty, he saw a wooden thorn with hot blood flowing out from his chest area.

He struggled to turn his head, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden surge of strength coming from his back, and the wooden spike was forced back from his chest. At the same time, his entire body fell forward onto the ground, and started to spasm frantically, with blood flowing out in all directions from beneath his body.

Everything happened so quickly. Sang Shener and An Hao looked at the indifferent Senior Brother Qi behind Ma Wei, who was currently looking at the Ma Wei’s corpse with an indifferent expression. When Senior Brother Qi looked at Sang Shener and Ma Wei’s corpse, his eyes were still cold.

“Eldest Brother, you.”

It was the same words he had spoken before, but the tone of his voice was completely different.

Sang Shener and An Hao had never seen Senior Qi’s eyes to have sucesolute moment, “I can understand why you guys want to leave, but the Sang Lin Clan will forever belong to Ling Yizong, and it cannot be broken just because you two left. Although I’m not doing well, I am willing to shoulder the burden of the Sang Lin Clan’s inheritance.”

Senior Brother Qi’s words were directed at the two! This was practically betrayal, and both Sang Shener and An Hao were actually speechless for a moment.

A moment later, Sang Shener said, “Big Senior, since you killed Ma Wei, sooner or later Hong Lan and the rest will know about it. Why don’t you come with us?

A strange smile appeared on Brother Qi’s face. “Who said I killed Ma Wei? It was you, Junior Sang, who killed him. Not only that, I was also severely injured by Brother An, but I escaped with my life. I was unconscious for half a day before I woke up.”

At this time, Sang Shener and An Hao didn’t understand anything. Senior Qi was obviously letting them go, and also wanted them to act together before they left.

An Hao scratched the back of his head, and said: “Big Senior, I don’t have the confidence to knock you out for half a day before you wake up on time.”

Therefore, your time is only half a day. Half a day later, I will personally think of helping Hong Lan report the news of your escape and do my best to help Hong Lan chase and kill the two of you. At that time, whether or not you can escape will depend on yourselves.

An Hao was shocked, and said: “Eldest Brother, you.”

Sang Shener, on the other hand, revealed a moved expression, and said: “Senior Brother, it will be very tiring like this.”

Senior Qi laughed: “I am only living like a dog, but Ling Yizong’s Sang Lin’s bloodline will survive because of me, I am the senior in Sang Lin’s bloodline.”

Sang Shener and An Hao bowed to pay their respects to Senior Qi, but when Senior Qi looked at them, he looked like a stranger. When An Hao suddenly attacked, Senior Qi was struck hard on the left side of his head, and half of his hair was charred.

“Let’s go, we only have half a day’s time.”

As Sang Shener jumped into the tunnel, An Hao hurriedly followed. After the two of them entered the depths of the tunnel, the original tunnel was surrounded by countless of squirming tree roots, causing the moist soil around the cave entrance to be completely sealed off.

Sang Shener led the way in front while An Hao silently followed behind. An Hao was the first to break the silence and asked, “Senior sister, why are there tree roots everywhere around the tunnel? It seems like the entire underground tunnel was made from tree roots.”

Sang Shener laughed and said: “These roots are actually the roots of the Mulberry Forest that is spread all over Sang Lin Peak.”

As the two of them walked, they saw a light appear in front of them. It should be the exit of the tunnel.

The exit of this underground passage was located in a mulberry grove. When the two of them came out of the forest, An Hao could roughly guess their direction.

After exiting the cave, Sang Shener touched the wooden necklace on top of it. After the two of them walked out of the forest, sounds of rustling suddenly came from the exit of the cave, and after a while, the cave entrance was sealed up by the soil from the mulberry roots, causing people to not be able to tell that an entrance had been opened before.

Half a day later, a cultivator with half his head broken staggered out from an inconspicuous wooden house on the summit of Sang Lin Peak.

A few cultivators rushed forward to check, only to see that the heavily injured cultivator’s face was covered in blood. When they saw the others coming forward, they anxiously said: “Quick, quickly bring me to see Spiritual Master Red Mist, they, they escaped!”

After that, the man seemed to lose all his strength as he rolled his eyes and fainted again. It was only at this time that the others could see that this person was actually the Eldest Brother of the former Sang Lin Faction.

When he woke up again, Brother Qi felt that most of his injuries had healed, and even the wound on his head was no longer painful. On the contrary, he felt a cool and refreshing feeling, and at the same time, he could feel two eyes staring at him.

“Tell me, how did the two of them disappear into thin air under so much surveillance? Not only did they kill or injure Ma Wei and you, they even disappeared into thin air?”

The person who spoke was Spiritual Master Red Mist. At this moment, his face looked extremely frightening. The few cultivators responsible for observing the Sanlin Peak were unable to say anything. This caused the Spiritual Master Red Mist to be extremely angry.

Brother Qi felt that his injuries were not serious, and asked by the Honorary Master Hong Lan. He quickly stood up in fear and said, “Brother, please come this way. They escaped through an underground tunnel under the floor of the wooden house?”

“Underground passage?”

Adept Red Mist said with a cold laugh, “We’ve already searched the entire wooden house. There aren’t any underground tunnels at all.”

“This is impossible!”

Brother Qi walked to the front of the wooden house in quick steps, pointed to the ground and said, “This, this is the place. There was a straight tunnel here at that time, and the wooden board on the ground was even taken down.”

After saying this, Brother Qi opened up the wooden board, but there was no passage down there. It was just an ordinary floor.

Shixiong Qi seemed to be unresigned, stamping his feet on the ground, but the ground was half a foot deep, and apart from the tiny roots of some broken mulberry trees, there was no other cave.

“That’s not right, there’s clearly a cave here.” Cold sweat broke out on Brother Qi’s face.

“Hmph, bring that wooden board over for me to see!” Adept Red Mist suddenly said.

Senior-apprentice Brother Qi didn’t understand. He placed the wooden board in the hands of Spiritual Master Honglan and saw that a light green colored True Essence Aura was poured into the wooden board. On the originally ordinary wooden board were actually many complex runes.

The Honorary Master Hong Lan suddenly smashed the wooden board onto the ground, causing it to shatter into pieces. He scolded, “The Spirit Mulberry King is indeed a King. He actually relied on the King Seed to influence the underground roots of the Mulberry Forest. This move of mine!”

Being toyed with by two cultivators of the martial arts realm, the rage in the heart of the Crimson Fog Sect’s Daoist Master could be imagined, and she immediately scattered it towards the other cultivators of the Crimson Fog Peak.

“Where did they come from? Have they not found out?”

Senior brother, the two of them might have changed their appearances. After all, our sect has strict checks on cultivators who enter the sect’s formation, and those that come from outside the sect may have been careless. Those two may have used this as an excuse to avoid the sect’s inspection after changing their appearances.

The one who spoke was actually Brother Qi, whose head was still bandaged. However, his words were very clear and logical, and the others nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

“Oh, how are your injuries?”

Spiritual Master Hong Lan’s concern for him overwhelmed Senior Qi.

Adept Red Mist smiled and said, “Next up, when they escape out of the sect, where will they go?”

Senior Qi thought for a moment, then said: “Naturally we are going home, but there is only one person that is close to Sang Shener, and she has already passed away in meditation, whereas An Hao is different. His parents are still alive, if we were able to invite these two to the Heaven-Shaken Sect, I never expected that An Hao would come running back by himself in a few days.”
