Chapter 245 – I also want to leave alive, but my strength does not allow it
The moment Meng Fan saw the package, his brows furrowed.
In fact, it wasn't just Meng Fan; Li Xuerou and Ye Qingyu also had their eyes fixed on it.
The contents of the package were clearly a human head!
There was no need to use Divine Sense to investigate; they could all feel it.
In Meng Fan's room, Wu Tian threw the package onto the table, and blood immediately seeped onto the surface.
"Luckily, I was there this time. Otherwise, those two guys with the surname Liu would be dead by now," Wu Tian said smugly.
Behind Wu Tian, Liu Ye Han and Liu Changyuan looked embarrassed, their eyes showing a hint of lingering fear.
"Whose head is in the package?" Meng Fan asked directly.
"Senior Brother Meng is truly perceptive, knowing it's a human head without even opening it," Wu Tian chuckled.
"I just want to know if the head belongs to someone from the Skyhawk Demon Sect. If not, as per our agreement, I will definitely report this to Elder Lin!" Meng Fan glanced at Wu Tian.
Wu Tian's smug expression faltered for a moment, but he still said confidently, "Although this head doesn't belong to someone from the Skyhawk Demon Sect, it deserved to die. I had every reason to kill him."
"Junior Brother Liu, explain the situation," Meng Fan ignored Wu Tian and turned to Liu Changyuan.
Wu Tian glared at Liu Changyuan, a blatant threat in his eyes, daring him to speak out of turn.
Liu Changyuan smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "Senior Brother Meng, here's what happened. After we left the inn, we quickly found the Skyhawk Demon Sect's stronghold, which was surprisingly smooth.
But before we reached the stronghold, we were ambushed!
The ambushers weren't from the Skyhawk Demon Sect but from the Limitless Sword Sect.
So we suspect that the Limitless Sword Sect might be colluding with the Skyhawk Demon Sect.
It seems that the ease with which we found the stronghold was also a deliberate leak by the Limitless Sword Sect."
Liu Changyuan's words caused Ye Qingyu and Li Xuerou to change their expressions drastically.
The Limitless Sword Sect and the Kunlun Sword Sect were as renowned in the Northern Region as the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.
How could disciples of the prestigious Limitless Sword Sect collude with the Demon Sect?
Especially Li Xuerou, whose fists clenched tightly.
Before this, she had trusted Lin Feilong implicitly, feeling a shared sense of suffering with him.
Since learning yesterday that Lin Feilong cultivated the Supreme Heartless Sword Intent, she had already been deeply disappointed.
Now, hearing that Lin Feilong and his people were suspected of colluding with the Skyhawk Demon Sect made her furious.
Anyone could collude with the Skyhawk Demon Sect, but not Lin Feilong... Had he forgotten how their entire village was massacred?
Thinking of this, Li Xuerou's shoulders trembled with anger.
Meng Fan placed his hand on Li Xuerou's shoulder and gently patted it.
"Don't be angry. Perhaps Lin Feilong's goal has never changed; he still wants to infiltrate the Skyhawk Demon Sect."
Hearing Meng Fan's comforting words, Li Xuerou shook her head with a bitter smile.
Regardless of Lin Feilong's intentions, once he started scheming against her, he was no longer a friend but an enemy.
Li Xuerou wouldn't be a saint and make excuses for Lin Feilong.
"No matter his purpose, since he chose to target us, I will show no mercy. Brother, if we meet him again, I want to kill him myself!"
Meng Fan ruffled Li Xuerou's hair and smiled, "Don't worry, He's not even worth my effort."
He didn't hypocritically say that he would handle the killing for her.
Since Li Xuerou harbored such deep hatred, she was destined to stain her hands with blood.
If she didn't kill, she would be killed!
"Liu Ye Han, are you sure it was the Limitless Sword Sect that ambushed you?" Meng Fan turned to Liu Ye Han.
Wu Tian and Liu Changyuan had already spoken; he wanted to confirm with Liu Ye Han.
"Yes, it was definitely the Limitless Sword Sect. There were six of them, all of whom we encountered at the inn yesterday. I have a good memory and wouldn't mistake them!" Liu Ye Han said confidently.
Meng Fan nodded and opened the package on the table.
A disheveled head lay quietly on the table.
It looked both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar.
It was indeed someone from the Limitless Sword Sect they had seen at the inn yesterday.
If Meng Fan remembered correctly, this was a cultivator at the ninth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm.
Among the six, there was a cultivator at the ninth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm.
If Wu Tian hadn't intervened, Liu Ye Han and Liu Changyuan wouldn't have been able to hold out!
"Were there no survivors? Did you interrogate them about why they were collaborating with the Skyhawk Demon Sect to target us?" Meng Fan asked.
Hearing Meng Fan's question, Wu Tian instinctively looked down at his toes.
Liu Changyuan glanced at Wu Tian but didn't dare to speak.
Liu Ye Han hesitated for a moment before saying, "Senior Brother Wu was a bit heavy-handed; there were no survivors!"
Meng Fan immediately looked at Wu Tian.
Feeling Meng Fan's gaze, Wu Tian reluctantly looked up and said, somewhat embarrassed, "It's not my fault. The Limitless Sword Sect guys attacked first. Once I made a move, I couldn't hold back.
There's nothing I could do; I'm just too strong.
I wanted to leave a survivor, but my strength didn't allow it!"
Back at the Sword Pavilion, Meng Fan had only heard from Elder Lin that Wu Tian had a heavy killing intent.
During their sparring sessions, Meng Fan had always beaten Wu Tian, bullying him in various ways.
So Meng Fan hadn't really felt Wu Tian's killing intent.
But through this incident, Meng Fan felt it a bit.
However, since he wasn't there in person, the feeling wasn't deep.
"It's a pity there were no survivors," Ye Qingyu said helplessly.
Meng Fan glanced at her and said calmly, "What's there to pity? We'll just catch another one!"
Hearing Meng Fan's words, the others didn't react much, but Wu Tian's eyes lit up with excitement.
It seemed like there was going to be another fight!
Meng Fan glared at Wu Tian, "You're not going this time."
Wu Tian quickly said, "No, you need me. Without me, you'll all be wiped out!"
"I'll go myself!" Meng Fan glanced at Wu Tian.
This...
Wu Tian couldn't argue with that. Meng Fan was indeed stronger than him.
He secretly vowed to gather more Spirit Stones on this trip down the mountain, return to comprehend the Sword God Stele, and strive to surpass Meng Fan, that bastard.
Then, he would make Meng Fan kneel and call him Senior Brother!
At this moment, Liu Changyuan, who was across from Meng Fan, looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What are you thinking?" Meng Fan asked Liu Changyuan.
Liu Changyuan said worriedly, "Senior Brother Meng, although it was the Limitless Sword Sect disciples who ambushed us, we came out unscathed.
But six of them died!
If this is pursued, we might be in more trouble.
I think we shouldn't go looking for trouble with the Limitless Sword Sect right now. Instead, we should report this to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect first."
