son, don't mess around

at dusk.

Outside the town, on a narrow road.

It was getting dark, and the pitch-black night gradually enveloped the sky and the earth. The surroundings were overgrown with trees and weeds.

After a while, there was a crowd among the woods, and several dark shadows gradually walked out of the jungle and appeared on the narrow path.

Looking around, there were about a dozen figures, all wearing black robes and covering their faces with black cloth, looking at the small town in the distance where lights were gradually lighting up.

These figures have a strong aura and bright eyes, which shows that they are all people with extraordinary martial arts skills.

"Is this right here?"

A deep voice sounded from the crowd.

"Replying to the elder, that's right!"

"Our people have not been heard from since they tracked us here. Several other groups of people we sent out have also suddenly disappeared in this area."

"According to my investigation, the Saint may have appeared here before. They are very likely to have met with an accident nearby and have been killed by the Saint..."

A member of the church shrouded in black robes bowed his head and answered respectfully.

In front of the crowd, stood quietly a middle-aged man, about forty years old, with deep eyes, hands behind his back, squinting at the town in the distance, a sneer on his face.

"She's really good at running! She's worthy of being the Saint of the Celestial God Cult. Facing the ambush you set up from all sides, she almost ran away!"

The fourth elder's tone was low and grim.

The faces of the followers behind him suddenly changed when they heard this. They looked a little more terrified and became more respectful: "Fourth Elder, please rest assured. We will definitely capture the Saint Girl as soon as possible and hand her over to you for your decision!"

The fourth elder looked up at the town ahead with a grim gaze, but his expression revealed an undisguised sneer.

"She has been severely injured by the leader, and now her injuries have relapsed. She will not be able to run far."

There seemed to be a gleam of brilliance in those slightly narrowed eyes: "As expected, she is most likely hiding in this town."

"Give the order to search the town and don't miss any clues!"

"Yes!"

Just as the fourth elder was about to lead his men to the town, not far away on the other side, there were twinkling sparks in the darkness and figures moving around.

"Who?!"

The eyes of the fourth elder suddenly became fierce, and the masters of the sect hiding in the darkness around them immediately drew their swords, and the atmosphere instantly became tense!
"Fourth Elder, how are you?"

A somewhat hearty voice suddenly sounded.

Hearing this voice, the fourth elder's eyes fixed.

"Third Elder?!"

Several figures walked out of the darkness not far ahead. The leader was a middle-aged man dressed very similarly to the Fourth Elder, with a half-smile on his face.

This person is one of the elders of the Celestial God Religion along with the four elders!

"How will you be here?!"

Seeing the newcomer, the Fourth Elder showed no sign of relaxing at all. Instead, he stared at him with an increasingly serious look.

"The Fourth Elder doesn't seem to welcome me very much?"

The third elder smiled.

The fourth elder stared at him and sneered: "What tricks are you trying to play?"

The Tianshen Sect is not a monolithic group either.

The elders also fight openly and covertly among themselves, and have their own conflicts of interest.

The Tianshen Sect was not a serious organization, so the internal fighting was naturally more serious. If it weren't for the leader who strictly prohibited mutual harm within the Tianshen Sect, I'm afraid the sect would have been torn apart long ago.

But even so, mutual vigilance and fighting are inevitable.

The third and fourth elders before us are just like this.

The sudden appearance of the Third Elder here could definitely not be a coincidence!

The fourth elder seemed to realize something, and his tone was full of hostility: "Third elder, are you trying to steal the credit from me?!"

The third elder had a kind face and said, "Fourth elder, you have misunderstood. How could I steal the credit from you?"

"However, the capture of the Saint Girl was ordered by the leader himself, so we can't be careless. As a member of the Celestial God Cult, I naturally have to contribute..."

"Ah……"

Before the Third Elder finished speaking, the Fourth Elder's sneer deepened: "Don't bother the Third Elder with the matter of capturing the Saint Girl. I have my own way."

"Fourth Elder, please don't be so confident!"

The third elder shook his head slightly: "The Saint's martial arts are second only to the leader. I'm afraid that neither you nor I are necessarily her opponents. Even though she is seriously injured by the leader, she should not be underestimated..."

"If something goes wrong this time and the Saint Girl escapes, how will the Fourth Elder explain to the Sect Leader?"

The fourth elder's eyes suddenly became very cold: "Are you threatening me?"

In an instant, the atmosphere around them suddenly became heavy and tense, and the believers behind the two elders were once again on the verge of a fight.

The Third Elder still had a smile on his face: "I was just kindly reminding the Fourth Elder, and I definitely didn't mean to do anything bad to stop the Fourth Elder."

The fourth elder stared at him and said, "The leader is not here now, there is no need for you to be so hypocritical. If you have any purpose, just tell me directly."

Hearing this, the third elder's smile widened.

"It turns out that the Fourth Elder really understands me!"

The Third Elder paused for a moment before speaking: "Don't worry, I have no interest in the credit of capturing the Saint. The Saint betrayed the leader, and you, the Fourth Elder, should be credited with the greatest credit for this matter. I am not interested in this matter, I just want to get something from the Saint!"

"What is that?" the fourth elder asked coldly.

The third elder glanced around and waved his hand to order the people behind him to retreat.

Seeing this, the fourth elder also realized something and waved his hand to let the people behind him leave. Soon, only two people were left.

The third elder then spoke in a deep voice: "The secret technique passed down by the saints of all generations is the Tai Gu technique!"

The fourth elder's eyes suddenly focused: "Tai Gu Heart Technique?!"

"That's right!"

The Third Elder's eyes gradually became fiery: "Tai Gu Heart Method is the inheritance of the successive saints of the Heavenly God Sect. Only the saints of each generation have the opportunity to inherit and practice it... This Tai Gu Heart Method is one of the most advanced heart methods in the world. Practicing this heart method can make you immune to all poisons, and it can also help remove impurities from the body and improve the purity of internal strength..."

"If I can get it, my strength will be able to reach a higher level!"

The Fourth Elder's face was slightly tense. He was naturally aware of the reputation of the Tai Gu Mental Method and knew how powerful it was. Unexpectedly, the Third Elder was actually planning to use it?

"The Tai Gu Heart Method can only be practiced by the saints of all generations, taught by me. Do you want to break this rule, Third Elder?" The Fourth Elder stared at him.

The Third Elder smiled and said, "Could it be that the Fourth Elder is not tempted by this Tai Gu Heart Technique?"

The four elders were silent.

He was naturally tempted!
If he could obtain the Taigu Secret Technique, it would definitely greatly enhance his strength.

How could he not want such a unique skill?
"If it was before, you and I would have no chance to get it, but it's different now..."

The third elder spoke in a low voice with a hint of excitement: "The Saint Girl betrayed the leader, and now she has nowhere to escape. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you and me to obtain the Tai Gu Heart Technique!"

The fourth elder looked hesitant: "Are you sure that Liu Su will hand over the Tai Gu Heart Technique?"

"What if she doesn't give it to me? And what if...she tells the leader about this? What should I do?"

"It's already this time, she can't do anything about it!" The Third Elder looked calm, but his eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness and viciousness: "She is seriously injured now. If she falls into your hands, won't she be at your mercy?"

"As for whether she will tell on you..."

The Third Elder looked at the Fourth Elder with a meaningful expression on his face: "The Saint was seriously injured, and her injuries relapsed during the pursuit and escape. She died accidentally... Isn't that normal?"

The fourth elder's heart was shocked and his eyes suddenly widened.

He instantly understood what the Third Elder meant... Was he planning to silence him?!
Planning to kill Liu Su directly after obtaining the Tai Gu Heart Technique? !

In this way, there is no need to worry about Liu Su telling on the secret!
Looking at the crazy look in the eyes of the Third Elder, the Fourth Elder was shocked.

What shocked him was not that the Third Elder coveted the Tai Gu Heart Technique, but that the Third Elder dared to disobey the Leader so blatantly?
Doesn't he know how serious the consequences will be if the leader finds out?
Wasn’t it because the saint betrayed the leader this time?

"What? Is the Fourth Elder afraid?"

The Third Elder looked at him with deep eyes: "Although you and I have conflicts on a daily basis, they are just conflicts of interest, and there is no grudge or hatred. Now, the opportunity to obtain the Tai Gu Heart Method is right in front of you, isn't the Fourth Elder tempted?"

“Could it be that the Fourth Elder is willing to serve under the Sect Leader for the rest of his life and waste his life in the Heavenly God Sect?!”

After listening to the Third Elder's words, the Fourth Elder's expression changed obviously.

He realized that the Third Elder in front of him had more goals than just that, and his appetite and ambition definitely did not stop there either.

but……

The benefits in front of him really made him excited!
His face was gloomy and he hesitated for a long time. He stared at the third elder for a long time and finally made up his mind.

"Okay, I promise you!"

"..."

The dark night enveloped the small town.

The central streets of the town are brightly lit and still bustling.

However, outside the street at the entrance of the town, it had already fallen into darkness. There was no one around, and even the residents passing by had disappeared.

In the darkness, the third elder and the fourth elder appeared silently outside the town.

The two of them stopped almost at the same time, their eyes falling on the ground outside the town.

Outside the town, there are special marks of their Tianshen religion.

"She is here indeed."

The two looked at each other and confirmed one thing... Liu Su had appeared here.

She couldn't run far after being seriously injured. There was only one small town in this area within a dozen miles. If she wanted to survive, she had to find a doctor in this town to treat her injuries.

So, judging from the time, it is very likely that she is still here now!

"Search!"

As the two men gave orders in a deep voice, dozens of black-robed figures behind them approached the town silently. They were agile and hid in the darkness, rushing towards the entrance of the town.

Just as they were about to approach the town, several noises suddenly pierced the darkness.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

A sharp and piercing sound was heard, and several dark shadows who had just rushed to the entrance of the town felt their backs go numb instantly, and a chilling and dangerous aura suddenly rose from their spines behind them.

"careful!"

The Tianshen Cult members gathered here tonight were all good at martial arts. When they sensed danger, they dodged and avoided it immediately.

The next second, several crossbow arrows appeared on the ground where they were originally.

"This……"

Seeing this scene, they were shocked.

"Oh no, there's an ambush?!"

They instantly realized that there was an ambush in the town, but before they could come to their senses, the next round of crossbow arrows attacked again in the darkness.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

The sharp crossbow arrows made a series of piercing sounds and attacked from all directions, catching these people off guard!
Even though the Tianshen followers who came here today were all strong in martial arts, they were still caught off guard by the sudden arrow that shot out from the darkness.

The sharp crossbow arrow contains cold murderous intent.

In an instant, people were hit one after another. For a while, screams continued to ring out!

"what happened?"

"who?!"

At this moment, the third elder and the fourth elder, who were originally outside the town, noticed this scene and their faces suddenly changed.

Where did the crossbow come from? !
Whose ambush?!
The two of them suddenly looked around and vaguely saw several figures appearing in the darkness not far away, holding bows and crossbows and surrounding them.

It was pitch black, and it was hard to tell how many people were on the other side. But one thing was certain... they were surrounded?!

The Third Elder and the Fourth Elder looked increasingly unhappy.

They didn't even realize that there was an ambush here, and they had unknowingly fallen into the encirclement?
What exactly is going on?

Why are there so many people in this small town?

Could it be that Liu Su had found help? !
But obviously, now is not the time to think about this.

"Kill them!"

The Third Elder spoke in a low voice and quickly gave the order to speak.

The Celestial God believers were indeed caught off guard by the sudden crossbow arrows at first, but they quickly calmed down, drew their swords and began to dodge and block the crossbow arrows.

After hearing the Third Elder's order, they immediately stopped concealing their aura, and instantly, a strong murderous intent filled the air.

In the dark night, dozens of Tianshen Cult followers rushed towards the crowd who were releasing bows and crossbows in the darkness not far away.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

All around, the cold crossbow arrows were still densely packed.

At this time, everyone in the Heavenly God Sect finally realized... there was something wrong with this crossbow!
This doesn't look like an ordinary crossbow arrow at all. An ordinary crossbow arrow definitely cannot have such power!

And these people are not like ordinary people!

The other side cooperated well and was well-trained. The release of the crossbow arrows hardly gave them any chance to breathe! Even if they were good at martial arts, facing this continuous and fierce attack, they would be hit if they were not careful.

Cult members of the Celestial God Cult were constantly being hit by crossbow arrows and falling down. By the time they finally approached the crossbowmen, nearly a dozen of them had been killed.

At this moment, everyone in the Heavenly God Sect finally saw the true faces of these people.

In the pitch-black night, what appeared before their eyes were soldiers wearing armor and fully armed. The cold light reflected on the cold armor, and the air was filled with murderous aura. These soldiers held crossbows and stared at them with cold eyes.

As they approached, the armored soldiers almost simultaneously put away their crossbows. The next second, the crossbows in their hands turned into spears.

"kill!"

A loud shout like an explosion suddenly rang out, deafening the ears.

These soldiers pointed their sharp spears at the approaching Celestial God followers in the darkness and formed a battle array. At this moment, their fierce killing intent reached its peak!
At this moment, the faces of everyone in the Heavenly God Sect changed!

Behind the crowd, the third and fourth elders had their eyes wide open, looking at the scene in disbelief, with extremely ugly expressions.

"Lin, Lin Wang's Army?!"
