Chapter 997: Destroy the Xingxiu Sect
Line, line, line, line.

Night falls.

Su Mingzhe and A Zi have left the border of the Song Dynasty and entered the vicinity of Xingxiu Sea.

The Xingxiu Sea is vast and boundless.

The Xingxiu Sea is surrounded by mountains on all sides, stretching for hundreds of miles.

The two of them rode to a lake as clear as jade. Ah Zi looked at the place where she grew up, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes:
"Sir, this is the Xingxiu Sea!"

The Xingxiu Sect’s headquarters is on a wide and high platform next to the Xingxiu Sea.

Hundreds of houses are scattered randomly on the high ground, with large gaps between them.

Especially the large house in the middle, which is at least a hundred feet away from other houses.

"The scenery is nice. Old guy Ding Chunqiu is really good at choosing places!"

Su Mingzhe looked around and made some smacking sounds with his mouth.

"When I was young, there were Tibetan herdsmen living nearby, but in recent years... except for Ding Chunqiu's disciples, there is no one else here!"

A Zi explained to the man about the Xingxiu Sea and the Xingxiu Sect.

She originally planned to take advantage of her geographical advantage over the Xingxiu Sea to trick the man and lure him into several traps set by the Xingxiu Sect.

As a result, she discovered that the man was just letting his horse run wild and walked forward, and he actually avoided all the traps perfectly.

The two of them traveled smoothly all the way and arrived not far from the Xingxiu Sect’s base.

Seeing the bright lights ahead, and that the Xingxiu Sect was only two or three miles away, Ah Zi couldn't help but ask:

"Sir, have you ever been to Xingxiu Sea before?"

Su Mingzhe said casually:

“First time here!”

"I do not believe!"

"Believe it or not!"

Su Mingzhe used his spiritual sense to see that Zhaixingzi and others had already entered the Xingxiu Sect, and he also saw Ding Chunqiu who had just come out of seclusion.

Seeing Ah Zi's doubtful expression, Su Mingzhe couldn't help but laugh and coaxed:
"The reason why I know the route so well is because I sprinkled 'Thousand Miles Chasing Soul Incense' on your senior brother. No matter how far he runs, he will leave traces in the air."

"Is this true? Thousand Mile Soul Chasing Incense? How come I have never heard of it? Is there such a thing in the martial arts world?"

Ah Zi was half-believing and half-doubting, and obviously didn't believe what the man said.

However, as soon as I heard the name 'Thousand Miles Soul Chasing Incense', I felt its power.

Seeing that the two were about to reach the gate of Xingxiu Sect, Ah Zi hurriedly called him:
"Sir, the Xingxiu Sect is ahead. There are many seven-star crabapples planted outside the Xingxiu Sect. They are extremely poisonous and cannot be approached at night."

"There are not only seven-star begonias outside, but also ghost-faced datura flowers that can trigger the poison of the seven-star begonias, right?"

Su Mingzhe's medical skills are so superb that he can tell how many kinds of special herbs are there just by smelling the air.

Although the Seven-Star Begonia is highly poisonous, generally speaking, poisoning will not occur without skin contact.

When the ghost-faced tura flowers are in full bloom, the pollen falls on the seven-star crabapple, which will trigger the toxins in the roots and rhizomes of the seven-star crabapple to float into the air.

This toxin has the effect of Datura. In mild cases, the patient may fall into coma for several days. In severe cases, the patient may suffer from heart, lung and kidney failure and die.

A Zi only told Su Mingzhe that there was a seven-star crabapple.

If Su Mingzhe only took out the elixir that could remove the Seven-Star Begonia, he might be 'intoxicated' by the mixed toxin.

"You're a smart girl, but you like to play tricks too much, which is not popular with men!"

Su Mingzhe uncovered Ah Zi's plot, reached out and grabbed a handful of her snowball, then dismounted and handed her the reins:

"Wait here, don't think about running away, and don't think about anything else. Wait for me to kill Ding Chunqiu and come back immediately!"

Without waiting for A Zi to react, Su Mingzhe turned into a shadow and rushed into the Xingxiu Sect.

He came here this time to kill Ding Chunqiu and destroy the Xingxiu Sect.

According to general descriptions in novels, before killing the villain, the male protagonist has to slowly climb the mountain to give the villain a chance to show up.

Or at least let the villain say a few words.

Whether he was repenting or swearing, he couldn't just let a villain disappear without a sound. Unfortunately, Su Mingzhe didn't follow the moral code of martial arts.

He uses his avatar as an immortal to bully the weak and even launch sneak attacks.

He rushed into the Xingxiu Sect and killed everyone he saw.

Almost everyone in the Xingxiu Sect is entangled in sin.

Su Mingzhe was not afraid of killing the wrong person at all.

After killing all the living creatures, Su Mingzhe began to pour kerosene everywhere and set fire to "burn the village".

Ah Zi stood far away and could not see anything, but could faintly hear the roars of tigers and dragons.

After a while.

A raging fire broke out in the Xingxiu Sect’s headquarters.

A fishy smell slowly drifted in along with hot smoke.

"Isn't this old fellow Ding Chunqiu going to die just like that?"

A Zi, who grew up in the Xingxiu Sect, is well aware of how powerful Ding Chunqiu is.

As a great villain, Ding Chunqiu has many enemies in Tubo, the Western Regions, and even in the Central Plains.

Among the enemies who were able to run to the Xingxiu Sea to seek revenge, there were many masters.

Now, those masters have become nutrients in the medicine fields, but Ding Chunqiu is still alive and well.

In A Zi's eyes, even if Ding Chunqiu's strength is not the best in the world, he can definitely be ranked among the top ten masters in the world.

As a result, this is it?
A military officer of the Song Dynasty killed him?
Su Mingzhe returned quickly, and Ah Zi, whose impression of him had changed, immediately asked in surprise:
"Sir, have you killed the old thief Ding Chunqiu?"

Looking at Ah Zi, who looked much more friendly and natural, Su Mingzhe said calmly:

"They have been killed. Not only Ding Chunqiu, but also the other disciples and servants of Xingxiu Sect!"

For Su Mingzhe, eliminating the Xingxiu Sect was nothing to brag about.

"Let's go and find a place to live first. We can't stay here anymore!"

There are many medicinal fields planted and many poisonous creatures raised near the Xingxiu Sect.

Normally, these medicinal fields and poisons do not cause any harm to humans.

However, Su Mingzhe now killed all the people in Xingxiu Sect in one breath and set a fire.

The fire directly burned an area of ​​hundreds of acres.

Now, there is toxic smoke everywhere.

Su Mingzhe didn't care and could continue to stay, but A Zi's cultivation was too low, and if she inhaled a few more puffs of poisonous smoke, her life would be in danger.

The two men rode their horses for dozens of miles and found a wooden house in a nearby forest to rest for a while.

Silent all night.

On the second day.

The fire at the Xingxiu Sect’s base has been extinguished, but it is still shrouded in thick smoke.

Yang Pogong and others came running and joined Su Mingzhe and the others. They rushed to the ruins of the Xingxiu Sect’s base, searched through it, and found a lot of good things.

For example, various gold and silver utensils are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.

There are also other meteorites, gems, jade, etc.

What shocked these imperial city Si Ti cavalry was not the spoils of war, but the numerous skulls buried in the woods behind the mountain.

Most of these bones are black, obviously the result of death from poisoning!

The twelve people did a quick count and found that there were at least four or five thousand skulls.

Ah Zi saw that everyone's faces were getting uglier and uglier, and fearing that it would affect her, she quickly explained:
"These are all Tibetans, not Song people!"

The expressions of Yang Pogong and others eased a little.

As long as they are not citizens of the Song Dynasty, it’s fine.
