Chapter 775 - Chapter 775 (2/2)
The Elders wondered.
Louis seemed to have guessed what they were thinking. Waving his hand, he said confidently, “Elders, Brother, I can promise you the Martial Saint who has arrived has nothing to do with the two pigs who escaped.”
“How can you be so sure?” the Grand Elder asked him immediately.
Patting his chest, Louis said, “One of them is a mercenary. If he knew any legendary Martial Saint, why would he be a mercenary and come to the Dark Forest to risk his neck? As for the other one, it is even less possible. He is simply a human Martial Master. How could a Martial Master be compared with one of the strongest men in the world?”
He has a pet duck that talks. But it is just an ordinary duck and not a beast demon. I am sure it became intelligent and developed the ability to talk only after taking some precious food or panacea.”
The Elders felt a little relieved. They did not think those two humans on the run had anything to do with the presence of a Martial Saint either.
“Maybe he came to the Dark Forest by accident?” Lester looked at the Grand Elder.
The Grand Elder glanced at the sky in the distance. “Perhaps. But at least, we know he is not from the Holy Land of the Light Clan!”
“Exactly. We did not break the agreement. So, the Holy Land of the Light Clan has no reason to come here. The Martial Saint must be a hermit from other places.”
An elder echoed the sentiment. His eyes were suddenly full of excitement. “If we can discuss the mysteries of cultivation with the Martial Saint, it will very much benefit the Sucking Blood Clan. We could improve our attainment quicker and be strong enough to compete with the Holy Land of the Light Clan.”
Oh?
The Elder’s proposal thrilled everyone there. Their eyes lit up from excitement.
“Third Brother is right. As Elders of the Sucking Blood Clan, we have lived for hundreds of years, but we are still at Martial Guru level. We cannot increase our attainments further—we cannot even make a breakthrough to the Martial Venerable level, let alone the legendary Martial Saint level. Throughout the thousands of years of history, the Martial Guru is the best attainment we have ever achieved. After achieving Martial Guru status, no matter how much human blood we consume, we cannot achieve a higher level.”
“That is right. We have hit a bottleneck. If we cannot get to the Martial Saint stage, the Sucking Blood Clan can never stand up to the Holy Land of the Light Clan. We will live in this Dark Forest forever.”
“If we can get instructions from the Martial Saint, just as Third Brother proposed, then we might solve the mysteries that have eluded us for hundreds of years.”
The Elders were now getting more excited. The more they spoke, the more elated they felt. They saw an opportunity for the Sucking Blood Clan to rise again.
The Grand Elder’s eyes lit up with hope, but it worried him as well. “But we do not know what kind of person he is. I am afraid those legendary powerful people are all proud and aloof. If we visit him to ask for his instructions…”
There was no doubt he was throwing cold water on the ideas.
“Grand Elder, I think we had better stay away from that person.”
Frowning, Lester said, “Humans are the sworn enemy of the Sucking Blood Clan. This person is possibly aligned to some human sect. I am afraid he would be hostile to us the minute he knows we are from the Sucking Blood Clan. It would not be possible to ask him for instructions on cultivation. A Martial Saint is not someone we can risk offending.”
