Once the fact of the Most Refined Royal Pellets was known by other sects, the Taixuan Sect would certainly end up a target of public criticism. In that case, the Suomo Sect would only become one of many adversaries that the Taixuan Sect had to deal with. That would be an apocalypse.
By no stretch of the imagination had Lin Xiao ever expected that the Most Refined Royal Pellets would possibly incur a great calamity for the sect.
Nevertheless, the primary chief senior soon made out Lin Xiao after a quick observation and briefed him about a piece of great news, "Knowing that the Most Refined Royal Pellets were of spectacular efficacy, I bade all the disciples not to breathe even a single word about the pellets to outsiders, including their families."
His wise arrangements brought Lin Xiao quite a bit of relief.
However, Lin Xiao soon knitted his eyebrows again and asked, "How many disciples are there in the Suomo Sect?"
The primary chief senior went bewildered on hearing that, but he soon figured out what Lin meant.
It went without saying that the Suomo Sect was already aware of the pellets. If their disciples notified others about that, the matter would end up in the same way.
"There are only hundreds of disciples there, but each of them was extremely ferocious. And they are rather forceful in terms of their martial capacity as well," the primary chief senior responded.
"Ferocious? Each one of them?" Lin Xiao asked, pretty startled.
The primary chief senior nodded and said, "Yes. And their main cultivation method is The Fiendish Blockade Method. Though they have other methods, The Fiendish Blockade Method is a compulsory method for every disciple. The Suomo disciples are ranked in terms of their proficiency in the former eight stages of The Fiendish Blockade Method. Those who reaching the third stage are ranked as the domestic disciples, the fifth stage the core disciples, the seventh the guardians, and the eights seniors."
"The Fiendish Blockade Method is a devil method that drives the warrior insane. Whoever practices it will inevitably end up killers. Each domestic Suomo disciple has made ten kills at least," the secondary chief senior added.
"Many of our disciples were killed by these devil-like Suomo disciples by means of The Fiendish Blockade Method. A hellish sect like this should have long been eliminated!" the tertiary chief senior, a short-tempered but upright guy, exclaimed with fury, clenching his fists.
"They used to be low-profile, hence we failed to find anything wrong about them However, not until disasters befell us did we find them bloodthirsty. Our sect once launched a siege, which only ended with a senior ceasing to be along with hundreds of fatalities and casualties of our disciples," the primary chief senior hastened to explain on seeing Lin Xiao appear doubtful.
"The Suomo General has reached the ninth stage of The Fiendish Blockade Method. And his martial cultivation has reached the Yinyang Realm. Hence, he is way too formidable for anyone to approach. He would have long made a move if he were not afraid of our sect's prestige," the secondary chief senior added.
Lin Xiao didn't make any response to their introduction and started to figure out a way to curb The Fiendish Blockade Method by virtue of The Doctrines of Limbo.
Lin Xiao assumed that it would be a viable approach to have a Suomo disciple captured for research. Then he said, "The Fiendish Blockade Method does call for an in-depth research, you…" However, the three chief seniors cut in simultaneously in mid-sentence, "Out of the question!"
They had been there before, the result of which turned out rather unpleasant. The moment they injected their spiritual energy into the Suomo disciple they procured, he exploded forthwith. That was merely a core disciple whose attainment of the Fiendish Blockade Method just reached the fifth stage, but the momentum generated by the explosion injured them anyway.
Therefore, on hearing Lin Xiao's proposal of researching the Fiendish Blockade Method, they went ghostly pale all across the board. They wouldn't allow him, an invaluable asset of the sect, to get hurt.
On seeing their overreaction, Lin Xiao choked back the rest of his proposal and skipped it over with a smile, "It was just an idea."
"Junior Martial Uncle, given the Fiendish Blockade Method is terribly hazardous, you can by no means harbor such a risky idea," the primary chief senior pled in an earnest tone, fearing that Lin Xiao may go headlong with his proposal.
Lin Xiao nodded repeatedly. However, he already made up his mind — he would by all means get to the bottom of the Fiendish Blockade Method.
It was just as well he didn't verbalize his decision to the chief seniors, otherwise, they would be seized by remorse.
Being unable to seek help from them, Lin Xiao could only do it himself. And the most pressing matter at the moment was that he had to make them leave him alone with a pretext.
It suddenly occurred to Lin Xiao that the chief seniors had taken poisonous pellets, then he hastened to present them two antidote pellets and said, "Well, something just rang a bell. Please take the antidote pellets."
Their eyes all brightened up on seeing the pellets. Then they reached out to take them respectfully.
"Then I shall leave you to your work and go get Martial Brother Wu Gui. Bye for now," Lin Xiao said.
