Blood Caps Hideout

Enjoying their meal, the three of them soon left the inn to look around at the town. When they explored the town, many of the villagers looked at them. Children ran around making a lot of noise and laughed.

Walking along the street, the three of them visited many stalls and bought street food while looking at wooden sculptures or jewellery. One particular store caught Mo Fan's attention, that stall sold masks that covered the entire face while having different carvings on them that resembled various animals.

Walking up to the store, the owner welcomed them politely, "Welcome esteemed guests please have a look" he said as he rubbed his hands and smiled.

Mo Fan nodded as he looked at the various masks. After looking around for a bit, one of the masks, in particular, caught his attention. The mask was white and resembled a fox, underneath the eyes are a small strip of red and blue lines while above the eyes are sword-like brows that resembled a human's.

Red and blue whiskers were drawn on both sides of the mask while the inside of the ears was completely red. Mo Fan picked up the mask and tried it on. As he looked around with the mask on, he nodded in satisfaction and said "Yue er, Ye Wen, you should buy one too"

The two of them nodded as they looked for a mask they liked, then Mo Fan paid for the three masks. Mo Yingyue bought a fox mask that looked similar to Mo Fan's but had pink stripes rather than blue ones.

As for Ye Wen, his mask has the features of a panda with black paint. After paying for the masks, they tied the masks on their waists and continued walking around. When night came, they enjoyed dinner at the inn before heading to their rooms. The twins stayed in one room while Ye Wen stayed in the other.

The next morning, the three of them got dressed in a new set of clothes that they had bought in order to disguise themselves as a regular person and headed outside the town in search of clues on the Blood Caps. They kept their masks hidden inside their clothes as they headed toward the next town.

The Iron Winged Tiger stayed at the inn and slept as the three of them did so.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three figures dashed through a forest as they headed for one direction. Their journey was short and only took a while before they arrived. Hiding in the trees, one of the three said "Let's stay here and observe for now"

"En" the two others agreed. The three of them stayed up in the trees and observed for a couple of hours. Not a single soul passed by in the time they watched. Suddenly, a middle-aged man went into the village by himself.

Looking at the bandana, it was easy for them to tell that the middle-aged man is part of the Blood Caps. "Yue er, when we go in make sure you act along with us" one of the three spoke.

"En, I got it Ge" Mo Yingyue replied. The three figures were exactly Mo Fan and his group. After waiting for a few minutes to make sure that no one else followed the man, Mo Fan and Ye Wen jumped down the tree and wiped dirt on their faces and messed up their hair to make themselves seem poor.

Mo Yingyue did the same as the three of them slowly walked into the village making sure to reveal themselves to the Blood Caps member. When the Blood Caps member heard footsteps behind him, he instantly turned around to see the three in front of him.

"Huh? Do you three have a deathwish? Don't you know who I am?" he spoke. Suddenly, Mo Fan and Ye Wen dropped to their knees and Mo Fan replied, "Of course, you are a mighty member of the Blood Caps! Who doesn't know the name of the greatest bandits around these parts, no in the entire kingdom!"

"That's right" Ye Wen added.

"Heh, seems like you know a thing or two, that's right I am a member of the Blood Caps! So what do you three want? Since you have heard of us you should know what kind of deeds we do" the Blood Caps member asked.

"Please! Let us join the Blood Caps!" Mo Fan said as he released his Body Tempering stage one aura, Ye Wen too did the same. As for Mo Yingyue, she pretended to be a mortal without revealing her cultivation base.

"Please!" Ye Wen added.

"Oh? You want to join the mighty Blood Caps? It seems you have the strength to do so, I can take you to the leader, and then you three will officially become members of the Blood Caps!" the middle-aged man laughed.

"Idiot," the three of them thought. "Let's see, two Body Tempering stage one and a mortal? The girl seems quite good looking, but don't worry I won't lay my hands on a potential member" the Blood Caps member said.

"Thank you!" the two brothers replied at the same time as they stood up. "Now, help me carry this stuff," the Blood Caps member said as he threw large bags of unknown items at them. He gave Mo Yingyue much smaller bags to carry since she seemed fragile.

The three of them then followed him around as he dug some stuff and didn't let them see as he threw them into the bags. After a while, he spoke "Alright, let's go" as the three of them nodded and followed him.

"When we get to our hideout, make sure you keep quiet and only talk when asked to" the Blood Caps member reminded them. "En" the three of them nodded.

They followed the middle-aged man for over thirty minutes carrying the bags while pretending that they were tired. After another twenty minutes, they arrived at a wooden hut. The middle-aged man unlocked the door with a key he took out of his pocket as the four of them entered.

He then walked into one of the rooms and moved the bed slowly. As the bed was moved, a staircase appeared beneath the previous spot where the bed was. The middle-aged man spoke "Don't waste time, let's go" as he walked downstairs.

Down the staircase was a cave with torches lit on the side of the walls. The three followed him while still carrying the bags. Inside, they could see a few other members of the Blood Caps sitting down either drinking or having a nap. Some of them were even playing with women that they kidnapped as they looked at the three of them as they passed by. Every member who saw them got up from their seats and followed them.

In front of them, a large room filled with light from lanterns appeared as they walked forward. "Everyone gather around!" the middle-aged man shouted to all the other Blood Caps members.

Looking around, Mo Fan noticed that a majority of them were at the Body Tempering stage one and two with only a few at stages three and four. As for the man they followed, he is in the Body Tempering stage six which is much stronger than the rest.

The middle-aged man suddenly stopped in his tracks and threw the bag he carried on the ground before turning around to face the three of them.

When the other members gathered around the middle-aged man, three more men with a similar cultivation base appeared beside him. "Heh, so you brought back three of them this time," one of them said.

"Indeed" he replied. "Now that everyone is here… Get them!" he shouted as he pulled out a saber from his pocket, the other members did the same as they released their killing intent and faced the three. "Sir? Why are you being aggressive? Didn't you say that we could join the Blood Caps?" Mo Fan asked.

"Hahahahaha!!!!" the Blood Caps laughed. "Join us? Did you really think I was stupid enough to let some unknown brats join us? I simply acted and brought you here. Now you can prepare to die" the man who brought them to the hideout said.

"Die? Why not let us leave instead? We won't tell a single soul about your hideout" Mo Fan replied. "Hahahaha! No one keeps better secrets than a dead man, now get them!" he spoke again as the Blood Caps headed for the three.

"Well, since you put it that way, let's drop the act," Mo Fan said as the three of them released their auras.

Whoosh!

Mo Fan and Ye Wen disappeared from their spot and instantly punched dozens of Blood Caps in the blink of an eye. Mo Yingyue released her Body Tempering stage seven cultivation and took out her sword as she swung her sword instantly killing dozens of Blood Caps with a single wave of her sword.

"Arrrg!" the Blood Caps screamed. As for the ones who were killed by Mo Fan and Ye Wen, they didn't even have time to scream before turning into pools of blood. With every punch, dozens of Blood Caps died instantly making blood splat everywhere.

The four Blood Caps who were at the Body Tempering six said "Impossible! How can Body Tempering stage one brats kill those at higher stages than their own with a single punch!"

"They must be Body Refiners!" One of them shouted as he jumped at Mo Fan.

Pow!

Mo Fan punched the one who jumped at him instantly killing him as he headed for the other three. "What!" the other three shouted as they started running for their lives.

Pow! Pow!

Mo Fan instantly killed two of them while Ye Wen killed the remaining one. In less than a minute, every member of the Blood Caps in the hideout died. It only took a single hit for them to die! The four of them in the Body Tempering stage six died with regret, if the one who had brought them there was still alive, he would've shouted in regret, "Damn, why did I bring such monsters here!"

Suddenly, they felt a presence at the Body Tempering stage nine at the entrance of the hideout. "He must be the leader, it seems like the news is outdated and he made a breakthrough" Mo Fan thought.

Behind him, dozens of Body Tempering stage two to five followed the Blood Caps leader. When they arrived, they were greeted with a horrifying sight. Blood was flowing like a river in the room.

"Who are you?! You killed them!" the leader shouted with blood-shot eyes.

"That's right, we are from the Heavenly Sword Gate, today is the day the Blood Caps will be erased from the continent" Mo Fan replied.

"Impossible! Two of you are only at the Body Tempering stage one! Even if you are Body Refiners, it's impossible to kill so many that are ganging up on you! My four lieutenants are at the Body Tempering stage six! Even with that woman in the Body Tempering stage seven, they should be able to hold her off!" the leader shouted.

"Well, you can only blame your bad deeds" Mo Fan replied as he disappeared from his spot. "What? Where'd he go?!" the leader shouted.

Suddenly, a blurry figure appeared before him and sent out a punch.

Pow!

The leader's body exploded into multiple pieces with his eyes wide open. "Leader!" the remaining Blood Caps shouted. Some of them charged at Mo Fan who stamped on the floor so hard that it created pillars that pierced through their bodies killing them while the others had run.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

With a wave of her sword, Mo Yingyue cut the bodies of those who ran away in half by the waist. When the Blood Caps were exterminated, Mo Fan's eyes became gentle as the three of them freed all the kidnapped women.

Even when some of them were freed, their eyes seemed lifeless as though they were just a bag of flesh with no soul. "Thank you!" some of them women who had still hoped to escape from the hideout expressed.

"It's fine, it's what we should do" Mo Yingyue replied. "Please rescue the others who have been kidnapped, I will show you the way" the woman who thanked them spoke. Mo Yingyue nodded as she followed her.

As for Mo Fan and Ye Wen, they searched for any treasures that have been stolen and kept it on their bodies. As for the money lying around, they had no need for it. Emptying the bags that they had carried which were filled with more money, they scooped them back inside and left the money there.

On the leader, a saber type Spiritual Weapon of the low Yellow grade was found where he died. Keeping it on his body, the two continued searching for anything they could take to the sect.

After searching for a while, Mo Fan found a movement type Spiritual Art of the middle Yellow grade while Ye Wen an offensive art of the low Yellow grade. Mo Yingyue returned as the three of them gathered.

"Let's go," Mo Fan said. The other two nodded as they turned into three blurry figures and left the Blood Caps' hideout.
