Chapter 69: Blood Moon Pavilion
The bright moon hung high as a carriage was slowly driving along the streets of Yan Capital.
Eight Core Formation cultivators stood in various positions of the carriage and moved forward with the carriage. Everyone was nervous and cautiously guarding the surroundings.
A man and a woman sitting opposite each other in the carriage were Mo Xiu and Su Qianqian.
Su Qianqian originally had a good relationship with Mo Xiu, but since Mo Xiu obtained the title of Medicine Great Master and Divine Physician, especially after leaving the Alchemy League station, after calming down, she began to wonder how to face Mo Xiu.
When Mo Xiu faced Su Qianqian, his attitude remained the same. Because whether it was Medicine Great Master or Divine Physician, he didn't care much about these two titles.
Sitting for a while with his eyes closed, he asked, "How much do you know about the Blood Moon Pavilion Organization?"
Su Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but wonder, "You just came to Yan Capital, how did you know about the Blood Moon Pavilion?"
It was no wonder Su Qianqian wondered that, because even the people who were born and raised in Yan Capital might not have heard of the Blood Moon Pavilion Organization, because this organization did not exist on the surface and only provided services to people in need in secret.
She couldn't help but wonder, was it possible that Mo Xiu had been to Yan Capital before? Or, Mo Xiu said that his purpose of coming here was to kill people, so could it be those people in the Blood Moon Pavilion that he wanted to kill?
Mo Xiu had never been to Yan Capital before, nor did he come to Yan Capital to kill the people of the Blood Moon Pavilion, because before coming to Yan Capital, he had never heard of any organization called Blood Moon Pavilion.
The reason why he knew about the Blood Moon Pavilion was that his Divine Consciousness detected that Mu Qingqing had contact with the people in the Blood Moon Pavilion, and spent a lot of money to ask the people in the Blood Moon Pavilion to kill him.
The scale of Yan Capital was more than twice as large as Sun Martial City. Mo Xiu's Divine Consciousness could cover the entire Sun Martial city, but it was impossible to cover the whole city.
However, his Divine Consciousness had been paying attention to Mu Qingqing, and the place where Mu Qingqing and the people of the Blood Moon Pavilion were not far in touch, naturally, he found it easily.
Although he knew that Mu Qingqing was in contact with the Blood Moon Pavilion, Mo Xiu was unable to find detailed information about the Blood Moon Pavilion. That was why he asked Su Qianqian.
He didn't tell Su Qianqian how he knew about the Blood Moon Pavilion, he just looked at Su Qianqian and waited for Su Qianqian's answer.
Su Qianqian really wanted to know more about Mo Xiu, but Mo Xiu refused to disclose it, so she could do nothing about it.
Fortunately, she was accustomed to Mo Xiu's attitude of only asking but not answering, so she didn't care. After a little pondering, she replied, "Blood Moon Pavilion is a killer organization rooted in Yan Capital. There are countless Core Formation cultivators within the organization. It is said that there may be strong Spirit Vessel Realm experts too."
"There are a total of nine Blood Moon Pavilions in Yan Capital, each of which is very hidden, ordinary people can't detect it. Only a little capable person can find their stronghold and entrust them to help kill people."
"They only have two rules when they take on the task. One is that they don't kill people from the detached forces, the other is that they do not kill the helms of the major forces. Other than that, they can kill other people without scruples, even the royal members."
"As long as the task is picked up by them, they will pursue the target to the end. So, so far, many people in Yan Capital have died in the hands of the Blood Moon Pavilion killer."
"Also, even the powerful people in Yan Capital can only find the nine strongholds of the Blood Moon Pavilion. No one knows where the main station of the Blood Moon Pavilion is."
...
After listening to Su Qianqian's description, Mo Xiu had a general understanding of the Blood Moon Pavilion.
At this moment, the carriage stopped without warning.
"What's the matter?" Su Qianqian opened the curtain and asked.
"There is a killer!"
As a Core Formation cultivator outside just replied, he heard a "poof" from his own body, blood splashed, and the man was cut in half with a sword.
Even if there were elements of a sneak attack, being able to split a Core Formation cultivator from the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce into two halves with one sword was evident that the killer had extraordinary strength.
"Poof..."
There were two weird sounds again, on the other side, two Core Formation cultivators from the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce fell.
Of the eight Core Formation cultivators who were accompanying, there were only five left in the blink of an eye, but at this time, the enemy was also exposed to the sight of the five, so everyone rushed up and fought the enemy.
"Killers from Blood Moon Pavilion?" Su Qianqian was shocked and couldn't help but glanced at Mo Xiu.
A few minutes ago, Mo Xiu asked about the Blood Moon Pavilion, but then, people from the Blood Moon Pavilion appeared in no time.
Was this a coincidence or was it that Mo Xiu had already expected it?
Before Su Qianqian got confirmation from Mo Xiu, she saw Mo Xiu raise his hand and grabbed her shoulder, and leading her to fly out of the carriage and land on the ground in the blink of an eye.
Soon after, a furious explosion resounded, a sword light slashed down, splitting the carriage that the two of them were riding in in half, and even the horse and the coachman who was driving were thrown out and fell on the ground.
"Huh! Did I miss it?" a man in a scarlet mask stood beside the wrecked carriage and said uncomfortably.
Su Qianqian quickly looked up, and after seeing the scarlet mask, she couldn't help but become vigilant, "Be careful, that is one of the twelve Blood Moons in the Blood Moon Pavilion."
"Twelve Blood Moon?" Mo Xiu frowned slightly.
Although he didn't know what the so-called twelve Blood Moon was, but he guessed that all of them were particularly powerful killers, and it was understandable that Su Qianqian was cautious.
But he didn't take it to heart, let alone one of the twelve Blood Moons, even if the pavilion master of the Blood Moon Pavilion came in person, he would still die.
Rather, the higher the status of this guy, the better, because Mo Xiu also wanted to ask where the entrance to the main stronghold of the Blood Moon Pavilion was, so that he could kill all of its roots.
This time, the Blood Moon Pavilion dispatched many assassins, but the other assassins were all dealing with the five Core Formation cultivators of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, and only this person wearing the scarlet mask was confronting Mo Xiu and Su Qianqian.
The masked-man glanced casually, his eyes quickly fell on Mo Xiu, and slowly said, "Are you Lin Wuji of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce?"
"..."
Mo Xiu remained silent and did not answer.
The masked-man said again, "Someone spends a lot of money to get your head, so you can go to death!"
With that said, he didn't give Mo Xiu a chance to ask questions at all and rushed towards Mo Xiu with his sword.
This person was worthy of being one of the twelve Blood Moons of the Blood Moon Pavilion. Although he was only a 9th level Core Formation cultivator, he was much stronger than almost all the peak Core Formation cultivators Mo Xiu had seen in the Yan Kingdom. Lin Jiannan, one of the four masters, was only a little better than this one.
And this person obviously also cultivated a kind of body technique, his speed of action was extremely fast, every step he took was like a ghost, walking through the night, it was a bit difficult for the naked eye to catch him.
But no matter how fast it was, Mo Xiu could even kill Lin Jiannan with a single blow, so since this person was not as strong as Lin Jiannan, Mo Xiu was even less concerned.
Before the opponent could rush forward officially, Mo Xiu took a short step and raised his hand to catch it.
As the sword in the masked man's hand slashed towards Mo Xiu, in the blink of an eye, Mo Xiu grabbed him in his hand and was firmly bound. When the sword was about seven inches away from Mo Xiu's head, it could no longer fall.
"You…"
The masked-man was a little surprised, raised his head and looked at Mo Xiu, and soon shuddered involuntarily.
Obviously, he was the killer of the Blood Moon Pavilion, one of the twelve Blood Moons in the Blood Moon Pavilion, but when facing Mo Xiu, he felt like a lamb to be slaughtered, and the other party was the cold-blooded butcher.
He hurriedly poured the True Energy in his body into the sword in his hand, the sword burst into light in an instant. For that matter, his sword was still tightly clamped by Mo Xiu, unable to exert its power at all.
In the next moment, Mo Xiu raised his other hand and smashed it towards the masked man's body.
"Boom!"
The mask slipped as the whole person flew upside down, and his sword fell into Mo Xiu's hands completely.
Mo Xiu was naturally not interested in that sword at all. He threw it away, inserted the sword diagonally on the ground, and immediately walked towards the masked-man.
"Since you are one of the twelve Blood Moons of the Blood Moon Pavilion, you should know where the entrance to the main hall of the Blood Moon Pavilion is," Mo Xiu said as he walked.
The man realized that it was not good and knew that this task was impossible to complete, so he turned around and ran.
However, the next moment, a worldly pressure fell on him, his actions were instantly suppressed, and his whole person froze in place, unable to move.
"You... who are you?" the mask man was shocked.
Mo Xiu shook his head slightly, avoiding answering, and asked, "Where is the entrance to the headquarter of the Blood Moon Pavilion?"
As soon as this question was asked, a muffled hum resounded. The masked-man was paralyzed and fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.
Mo Xiu put away the coercion, raised his hand, and lifted the man's mask flying. The face under the mask looked a bit painful, and the black blood in his mouth kept flowing out, apparently, he had killed himself by taking poison.
"Do you think you can avoid me by killing yourself?" Mo Xiu snorted coldly.
This trick might be useful to others, but it was of no use to Mo Xiu. After all, he had just obtained the title of Divine Physician. In this case, it was not difficult to bring the other party back to life.
However, instead of saving the other party, he took out a gray bead and injected a trace of True Energy.
The light flashed as the bead flew out of Mo Xiu's hand immediately, and landed on the corpse as if to suck something from the corpse, and then it returned to Mo Xiu's hand.
Mo Xiu put away the bead, looked not far away, swept out the invisible Soul Devouring Knives, and in the blink of an eye, he broke through and shattered the souls of the Blood Moon Pavilion killers who were fighting with the members of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce.
"Thud, thud..."
The killers fell to the ground one after another.
The warriors of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce didn't know what happened, but they all quickly stepped forward to go for the finishing blow.
Soon, Su Qianqian and the warriors of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce came over.
Mo Xiu's eyes fell on the cultivators of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, and he said, "You guys go back directly after handling the corpses. You don't have to go with me."
"What about me?" Su Qianqian asked quickly.
Mo Xiu glanced at her, "You come with me to kill some people."
