“Just what is happening here? Did the cultivators from Heavenly Sword Faction come out to execute a sneak attack?”

“That doesn't seem right. This is not the way Heavenly Sword Faction operates. It looks like some yao beast have sucked away all the blood essence from their bodies.”

“So many people were killed without making a sound. We will definitely be incapable of handling this. Hurry up and notify the Sky Human stage seniors.”

Seeing what happened, the Concealed stage cultivators were all dumbfounded. After their panic had subsided, they knew that this was not something that they could handle.

“Eh, something is going on in the barracks?” The commander who was sent out to search around finally noticed something amiss. Leading his men, he quickly flew over.

Seeing the Sky Human stage seniors descend from the sky, the Concealed stage cultivators immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They stepped forward to quickly report what happened. Truth be told, there was no need for them to report. The commander could already see what happened.

The blood essence inside their bodies were all devoured, but there isn't a single wound on their bodies. This should not be due to yao beasts. It looks like their blood essence were sucked out from their pores. In other words, someone is secretly practicing demonic arts, one that requires devouring the blood essence of living beings. However, the other party is only targeting Concealed stage cultivators. Looks like the other party's strength is not particularly strong. There is nothing to be concerned about. All we need to do is to find this fellow and kill him or her, the commander considered the matter. He was not feeling too worried.

Chen Feng was able to clearly witness the arrival of the Sky Human stage cultivators. The power of the Magic Eyes of Darkness, plus the power of the Blood Mustering Bead, allowed him to see what was happening thousands of li away as though it was right before his eyes.

The commander is a level 6 Sky Human stage cultivator while his subordinates are all at level 1 and 2 of the Sky Human stage. They will be easy to handle. However, I wonder how much power the Blood Mustering Bead can exert. After considering that, Chen Feng mobilized the Blood Mustering Bead again to envelop the Sky Human stage cultivators.

“Oh, no!”

The commander felt a wriggling sensation of pain coming from the blood streams within his body. It felt as though his blood streams were desirous of spraying out from his body. When he opened his mouth, a stream of blood sprayed out to disappear into the air. At the same time, his head swelled and blood began flowing out from the seven orifices on his head.

He possessed the highest cultivation base amongst all present. The instant he sensed something amiss, he had sealed up his pores. Unexpectedly, the power enveloping him was so devilish. It could actually stir up his blood to make them flow out from his seven orifices.

The commander was able to hold on for a moment. However, the cultivators behind him were incapable of doing so. One by one, they all became b.l.o.o.d.y figures as blood surged out from every single pore on their bodies. They were left devoid of even the energy to cry out. Seeing that, the Concealed stage cultivators were immediately terrified. Gaping, they backed away silently. Some of the more cowardly cultivators trembled all over, seemingly on the verge of fainting.

“Evildoer!” Like a thunder clap, a loud roar reverberated towards them, shocking all the cultivators there to the point of falling to the ground.

Liu Yuan descended from the sky, the staff in his hand smas.h.i.+ng heavily against the ground like a mountain. He then stretched his hand out to place it upon the commander's head. The commander's body shook as a formidable power enveloped him. Next, his churning blood streams slowly stabilized. However, the level 1 and 2 Sky Human stage cultivators were not as lucky. All of them had been reduced to human skins, scattering all over the place.

Liu Yuan's roar had shocked Chen Feng's divine sense. He knew then that this was his limit. If it were not for the Blood Mustering Bead, protecting his divine sense, the roar would have seriously damaged him. Thus, he retracted his divine sense. Like a receding tide, it retracted all the way back to Azuresieve City.

He had mobilized the Blood Mustering Bead to collect blood and killing energies. Although the amount collected was far from sufficient for the Blood Mustering Bead, this was already enough for Chen Feng. Next up, Chen Feng began honing his divine sense and temper his Soulflame. While his actions of collecting the blood and killing energies appeared to be for the benefit of the Blood Mustering Bead, Chen Feng had also obtained some benefits from it. Only, this had also caused some brutal blood and killing auras to mix in with his sea of wisdom. He had to refine them, otherwise those elements could easily end up giving birth to inner demons in the future. Additionally, this action of devouring other cultivators' blood essence was in itself a defiance of Heaven. He had to take his time to stabilize his cultivation base, otherwise he could end up facing a great deal of troubles when undergoing his Lightning Tribulation.

Moving away from Chen Feng, who had retracted his divine sense, Heartless Heaven Sect's side was in a state of chaos. Although Liu Yuan managed to save the commander's life, the commander had still lost quite a bit of his blood essence. His vitality had been greatly damaged. Even if he were to take medicinal pills, it would take him some time to recover.

Next, the wielders of the Sacred-tier sword, demonic blade, circular ding and bronze bell arrived. All of them were half-step Human Immortals. Rather, those weapon wielders were not the only half-step Human Immortals. Several other half-step Human Immortals came as well. They were all the powerhouses in this siege of Azuresieve City. All of them regarded the human skins left on the ground, mystified looks on their faces.

“Without a doubt, this is a demonic cultivator. However, where did this fellow come from?”

“Could this be the reinforcements Heavenly Sword Faction invited?”

“Let's not go into whether or not this person is the reinforcements for Azuresieve City. This fellow has brutally killed off our sect's disciples. If we do not capture and punish this person, it will be a stain upon our reputation! This will be a blow to army morale! We must kill this fellow to boost our army's morale,” Liu Yuan said grimly.

“This person is like a ghost, leaving not even a trace behind. Capturing this person is easier said than done,” the half-step Human Immortal with the circular ding said, doubt in his voice.

“I have already caught this person's aura. Once I utilize a secret technique, I will be able to find this person. However, this person is utilizing a high-grade magic treasure. My strength alone will likely be insufficient. I will need you all to help me,” Liu Yuan said.

“We'll have to do it, then. However, I wonder what kind of magic treasure this person is using?”

“We'll know once we find this fellow.”

Liu Yuan and the others did not waste any time and they immediately took action. The secret technique that Liu Yuan used was known as Ten Thousand Li Pursuit. He quickly set up a magic array, placing some spirit stones on the ground. Next, he moved to the centre of the magic array and began initiating the technique.

A strand of aura that Liu Yuan caught earlier swirled around the magic array. It was Chen Feng's aura. Before Chen Feng retracted his divine sense earlier, Liu Yuan had caught this strand of his aura. It was something that was generally invisible and imperceptible. Only those with great magic powers would be able to do this.

“Hurry up and do it!”

Liu Yuan shouted and the six half-step Human Immortals there stepped forward, standing around the magic array. Following Liu Yuan's instructions, they channelled their soul power into it.

Sou!
