"Now you can tell me why? I'm still confused. Halfway through the journey, Zhang Zhixiong couldn't help but ask again.

"Since the people of the Demon Sect have done such a conscientious thing as slaughtering the entire village and capturing the villagers, it will definitely arouse public indignation, and it will inevitably make everyone attack them in groups, so the safest and most reliable way is to flee away, but why don't they just leave through the forest, but instead turn back and go up the mountain?" Ming Xuan asked rhetorically.

"This ...... Isn't that the question I want to ask you? Why did you ask me about me?" Zhang Zhixiong was a little stunned by the question.

"I've been thinking about this question before, and I think there are three possibilities, the first is that the place they think is the most dangerous is the safest, with so many people, they can't go fast at all, and they want to avoid the limelight for a while, the second is that they may encounter something else on the way, and they can't leave for a while, and the third possibility, and I think the most likely, is that they don't leave because their destination is here!" Ming Xuan said endlessly.

"You...... You mean there is a ...... on the mountain There is a den of the Demon Sect!" Zhang Zhixiong was a little stunned for a moment, unable to accept such a speculation at all.

I really can't think of any other explanation than that. Ming Xuan shrugged and said helplessly.

"This is impossible! Although this is a little far away from my Nanhua Sect, it is also within our reach, how can we not have any news if the Demon Sect sets up a stronghold here!" Zhang Zhixiong said categorically.

"Maybe the concealment of the Demon Sect is good, did you also go to great lengths to find this place after you have been in the wind for a long time in the rivers and lakes?" Ming Xuan speculated with some uncertainty.

"But if there is a stronghold of the Demon Sect here, then why can the village at the foot of the mountain still exist until now?" Zhang Zhixiong still couldn't believe it.

"Maybe rabbits don't eat the grass around the nest. Ming Xuan replied uncertainly.

"Then why are you eating it again now?" Zhang Zhixiong then asked.

"Maybe they think the time is right, but of course it's all my speculation, just for reference. Ming Xuan wasn't quite sure about his guess.

"While it's still unknown, your third guess is undoubtedly the most likely, even if I'm the least willing to admit it. Zhang Zhixiong sighed.

"If this is really a stronghold of the Demon Sect, it must be heavily defended, so we have to be extra careful, and the horse riding target seems too big, so it is safer to come up on foot. Ming Xuan continued to explain.

"Well, that makes sense! Although I'm a little older than you, I have to admire your thoughtfulness! You are worthy of being a disciple of Qingyangmen!" Zhang Zhixiong said convincingly, he is also a proud disciple of the Nanhua faction, and it is inevitable that there are some unconvincing hearts about the famous sects such as the Xiaoyao faction and the Qingyangmen, but he can't help but admire the martial arts and courage that Ming Xuan came out of such a chronology, and the famous disciples really live up to their reputation!

"Brother Zhang praised it, let's solve the problem in front of us first!" Ming Xuan was a little embarrassed by Zhang Zhixiong's praise, and hurriedly changed the topic.

At that moment, the two of them didn't say a word, and cautiously dived into the mountain......

Sure enough, as Ming Xuan expected, when the two of them reached the halfway point of the mountain, they discovered the secret post of the Demon Sect, which was very hidden, if the two of them were not on guard, it was estimated that it would be difficult to find them.

"Just halfway up the mountain, a secret sentry was placed, and the Demon Sect, who had always had no one in his eyes, actually showed such caution, maybe you really guessed it!" Zhang Zhixiong pinched a cold sweat and said, if it weren't for the intention, it would definitely be himself who was discovered.

"What the hell are they trying to do after they have arrested so many people!" Ming Xuan was still wondering about this matter.

"You don't need to think about this! Just grab a question and you'll know!" Zhang Zhixiong chose the most direct and effective way to answer.

The Demon Sect placed two secret sentinels on both sides of the road to the mountain, one lurking in the trees, and the other lurking in the grass, one on the left and one on the right, taking care of each other, leaving almost no dead ends, if a person wants to go up the mountain quietly, it is almost impossible to do.

Fortunately, such a perfect combination of dark whistles was discovered by Ming Xuan and the two of them first, although they took care of each other, but it was not very troublesome to have two people to solve them at the same time, Ming Xuan was responsible for the dark whistle on the left, Zhang Zhixiong was responsible for the right one, because of the need to solve one and the other two people at the same time, Ming Xuan chose to quietly climb to another tree next to him, and then jumped over to quickly solve the dark whistle on the tree, and then jumped down to solve him when the people in the grass reacted; Zhang Zhixiong was even more straightforward, he directly used a small pebble as a hidden weapon to stun the dark whistle on the tree, and at the same time rushed up to solve the grass in the grass, when Ming Xuan killed the first dark whistle, he had already completed。

"Brother Zhang's good means!" Ming Xuan couldn't help admiring, compared to him, Zhang Zhixiong was more neat, and obviously had more experience in dealing with the enemy.

"What a little skill of carving insects, let's find a way to pry his mouth open!" Zhang Zhixiong picked up the dark whistle that had stunned him with one hand and threw it over.

Ming Xuan was not ambiguous, and slapped him hard, directly fanning him awake, and seeing two strange but gloomy faces, this dark whistle instantly knew what was going on.

"I'll ask you to answer, if you cut off a finger if you answer wrong, if you make three mistakes in a row, you can go directly to Hades!" Zhang Zhixiong pulled out the dagger he was carrying with him and said expressionlessly.

"You...... Who are you, what do you want to do?" asked the sentry with some cringe, as if he couldn't figure out the situation.

"What's your name, what are you doing in the mountains?" Zhang Zhixiong asked without paying attention to him at all.

"I ...... My name is Niu Dachun, and I am a villager from Niu Village at the foot of the mountain! I came to collect firewood, and I just picked fruit from the tree, and I fainted somehow. The sentry thief said with a sneak of eyes.

At this time, he was still trying to deceive! Zhang Zhixiong directly cut off one of his fingers without any ambiguity! Ming Xuan also cooperated with him, and immediately covered the mouth of the dark whistle, not letting him scream, and the severe pain of the severed finger almost made the dark whistle faint again, and he also knew that he had encountered two evil gods today.

"Let me ask again, what's your name, what are you doing in the mountains?" Zhang Zhixiong was still expressionless, as if nothing had happened.

"I ...... My name is Yang Shu, and I am ...... It's a person from the Demon Sect!" Seeing that these two people were so ruthless, Yang Shu didn't dare to make a mistake, and replied obediently with the severe pain of a broken finger.

"You haven't answered yet, what are you doing on the mountain?" Zhang Zhixiong gestured, raised his dagger and wanted to cut again.

"I said, I said, we have ...... in the mountains. There is a stronghold!" At this time, Yang Shu was completely chilled, and hurriedly said, realizing in his heart that they might know everything; hearing his answer, Zhang Zhixiong couldn't help but glance at Ming Xuan, and really let him say it!

"What are you doing up there, what are you doing with so many people?" Zhang Zhixiong continued.

"I'm just an errand runner, just give it to the people above after I catch it, I really don't know what I'm going to do!" Yang Shu replied in a cold sweat, obviously the severed finger had brought him great pain, and it also prompted him not to dare to test the law again.

"How many people are there on the mountain, and how many have you arrested?" Seeing his situation, Zhang Zhixiong concluded that he really didn't know, so he changed the question.

"There are two or three hundred people on the mountain, because we went out to arrest people in batches, I don't know how many people were arrested, it is estimated that there are thousands of people, there is a stone cave on the top of the mountain, we only need to take people to the entrance of the cave after we arrest them, and someone will take them over. Yang Shu replied bitterly.

"You've arrested so many people, why didn't you attack the villagers at the foot of the mountain until today?" Zhang Zhixiong then asked.

"I didn't arrest it before because I was afraid of attracting attention, but today the head of the family said that the number of people was enough, and the brothers directly robbed the village under the mountain in order to save trouble. "If they knew that they had attracted such two plague gods because of the desire to save trouble, they would probably regret their deaths.

"Then who is your master, and how is the martial arts?" Zhang Zhixiong continued.

"Our head is called Huang Xian, and I don't know how his kung fu is. "He's just a little guy, where can he understand so clearly.

"Where is your stronghold, and is there a secret post in front of you?" Zhang Zhixiong then asked.

"Our stronghold is on the top of the hill, where there is a row of small cabins, and there are two secret posts in front of it, all in the same arrangement. Seeing that they took the initiative to mention the secret whistle, Yang Shu understood, it seems that his companions are already more auspicious, and now the first thing is to save their lives, so a picture of knowing everything and saying everything, for fear of offending them.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Zhang Zhixiong asked Xiang Mingxuan.

"No, let's move on!" Ming Xuan stood up and walked forward.

"Thank you for your cooperation, I originally wanted to let you live, but unfortunately the people who died in your hands were unwilling, you better go and explain it to them!" Zhang Zhixiong finished speaking, and directly cut his throat, so that he died less painfully.

With more information, the two of them had the bottom in their hearts, and then they used the same method to solve the lurking secret sentinel, for the sake of insurance, they caught another one, and the answer they got under the pressure was the same, so they completely relieved their hearts and walked quickly to the top of the mountain.

"Set up layers of levels, I have never seen the people of the Demon Sect so careful. Zhang Zhixiong felt quite strange.

"It's always good to be careful!" Ming Xuan said puzzled, not thinking anything.

"You haven't dealt with the people of the Demon Sect, and you don't know that their arrogance and tyranny are not as careful as this. Zhang Zhixiong shook his head and said.

"You don't have to think too much about it, there is the answer to your question in front of you. Ming Xuan pointed ahead, and the top of the mountain was in front of him.
