Mortal: I am the young sect master of the Thousand Illusions Sect

Chapter 65 Massacre

At midnight, the night was as dark as ink, and a cool night breeze swept across the wilderness.

Su Mixin and Han Li stood side by side in mid-air, their gazes falling on the deep canyon with spirit stone mines not far away.

Han Li turned his head to look at Su Mixin beside him, a hint of surprise in his eyes, his lips twitching slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "So, deep within the passage hidden by the stone wall at the end of the cave, there is an ancient teleportation array?"

Su Mixin nodded slightly, her tone calm and firm: "Not bad."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up and down at Han Li, his tone casual: "Fellow Daoist Han, you can hide and wait nearby for now. It won't be too late for you to enter the valley after I've dealt with these troublesome Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators."

Han Li remained silent for a moment upon hearing this: Was he being looked down upon because of his Qi Refining stage cultivation?

Fifteen minutes later.

At the entrance to the canyon, Su Mixin quietly concealed her breath and completed the setup of a Six Harmonies Separation Array, covering the entire entrance and exit passage.

Then, with a thought, he summoned the spirit bird Golden Feather and carefully instructed it with his divine sense to hover in the air above the canyon. Whenever it discovered any Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators who had escaped by using their magical artifacts, it was to kill them directly.

Everything is in place, with no omissions.

Su Mixin no longer deliberately concealed her aura. Her avatar instantly empowered her, and a powerful divine pressure approaching the Core Formation realm exploded out, sweeping across the entire valley like a tidal wave, cleansing all directions. A chilling sense of oppression suddenly enveloped the heavens and earth.

Inside the spirit stone mine below, the Ghost Spirit Sect's garrison cultivators were instantly awakened by this terrifying pressure. Everyone was shaken to their core and filled with horror.

In just a few dozen breaths, all the cultivators gathered behind the three Foundation Establishment stage leaders. Separated by a newly set up and clearly imperfect protective array, they stood with their heads held high, facing off against Su Mixin, who exuded a chilling aura in mid-air. The murderous atmosphere in the valley suddenly intensified.

The leading Foundation Establishment cultivator gritted his teeth and took a step forward, suppressing the fear in his heart. His voice echoed through the valley as he shouted, "Who are you? This is the territory under the jurisdiction of the Ghost Spirit Sect. You must leave immediately, lest you bring trouble upon yourself!"

High in the air, Su Mixin remained indifferent, ignoring the bluffing warning, her eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

He slowly raised his right hand. The next instant, countless beams of light and shadow fell from mid-air and crashed onto the open ground in the canyon.

Hundreds of puppets appeared in the world, some humanoid and some animaloid, standing together.

Before anyone in the valley could react, a faint buzzing sound echoed from the void once more. Hundreds of silver gold-devouring insects were summoned by Su Mixin.

Each of these gold-devouring insects possesses considerable combat power, ranging from high-level to top-level.

"Wind Queen!"

"Within the canyon, not a single Ghost Spirit Sect cultivator was spared."

The cold command was given.

At the same time, the Sky-Splitting Cone Talisman floated out from Su Mixin's palm.

"go!"

With a soft shout, Su Mixin flicked her fingertips, and the Sky-Splitting Cone suddenly shot through the air at great speed!

The terrifying, devastating power crashed into the protective array's restrictions.

"Snap!"

A crisp cracking sound echoed through the valley. The array's spiritual light barrier, like brittle paper, was instantly covered with dense cracks, and in the next instant, it completely collapsed and dissipated, with specks of spiritual light vanishing into the night wind.

With the formation completely broken, the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators in the valley were fully exposed to the killing intent. Everyone's faces turned pale instantly, and panic spread throughout the area.

Before they could flee in alarm, Su Mixin made a hand seal with her right hand and pointed her sword forward.

The Nine Mystic Sword Shuttle floated in the air, then spun in mid-air, suddenly splitting into nine sharp, pitch-black sword shadows. The sword wind was fierce, and the speed was extremely fast, tearing through the night sky and leaving afterimages. With a killing intent, it shot towards the three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators who were leading the group.

A quarter of an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the yellow sandy open space outside the spirit stone mine was already deathly silent.

Corpses and broken bodies were scattered everywhere, the fierce battle had come to a complete end, and only a soft rustling sound echoed all around as a few gold-devouring insects gnawed on the remaining remains.

Su Mixin spread out her divine sense, slowly scanning the entire battlefield. After confirming that there were no survivors, she lightly raised her fingertip.

The scattered gold-devouring insects stirred at the sound, gathering together in a silver stream that orderly swept back into his palm and was stored in his world ring, disappearing in an instant.

He then solemnly instructed Feng Hou to control the puppets to gather and pile up all the corpses left on the battlefield, and to pack up and collect all the items left behind by the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators, so that Feng Hou could slowly count them one by one.

Once the battlefield was cleared, Su Mixin's fingertips flashed with spiritual light, and several crimson fireballs shot out, landing on the pile of corpses.

The raging fire spread instantly, crackling and popping. In no time, the wreckage was completely burned away, turning into ashes that were scattered into the night wind of the wasteland, erasing all traces of the battle.

In a secluded spot not far away, Han Li saw that the direction of the spirit stone mine had completely fallen silent, with no more spiritual energy fluctuations or killing sounds. Only then did he, along with Qu Hun beside him, conceal their breath and cautiously approach the canyon.

Soon after, the two of them stepped into the depths of the cave, one after the other, and arrived at the sealed and hidden passage.

With a thought, Su Mi sent out three puppets, which stood quietly to the side.

He turned to Han Li and instructed him, "These three puppets are a gift to you. Use them to completely reopen the passage that I previously sealed."

"I need to go out for a while and will be back within half a day. That ancient teleportation array can only be guaranteed to be safe by relying on the Great Teleportation Token. You must not try it rashly on your own, that would be courting death. Just wait for my return."

Han Li nodded solemnly upon hearing this, understanding the situation, and did not ask further why he had gone out.

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

When Su Mixin reappeared, she was already outside the spirit stone mine.

Previously, he rode his golden feather horse southward at breakneck speed. Along the way, he found two small outposts of the Ghost Spirit Sect and a small post station that blocked the escape of Yue Kingdom cultivators. He launched a surprise attack and slaughtered all the cultivators stationed at these three locations, leaving no survivors.

This deliberate act was intended to create the illusion that the remaining cultivators of the Yue Kingdom were fleeing south to the territory of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance.

They planned to slaughter the Ghost Spirit Sect's outposts along the way to vent their anger, thereby confusing the Ghost Spirit Sect's higher-ups and diverting their attention from the spirit stone mine, thus concealing the ancient underground teleportation array and eliminating the risk of exposure.

Outside the sealed spirit-locking array in the cave space where the teleportation array was located, Han Li, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Su Mixin walking slowly towards him. She also summoned a large number of stones from her storage bag and cast a spell to block and cover the passage again.

After cleaning up all the traces, the two looked at the teleportation array. Su Mixin teased, "Activating the teleportation array requires mid-grade spirit stones. You can do it yourself."

-

Han Li looked at the young master of the major sect with a speechless expression.

At this moment, Su Mixin was already deep in thought: This ancient teleportation array must not be used lightly again in the short term. Every time it is activated, the scale is too grand, and the yellow light screen that soars into the sky is extremely eye-catching and can be clearly seen within dozens of miles. It is easy to attract attention and increase the danger of being exposed.
