Chapter 589 - An enemy in the dark (1/2)

Chapter 589

(Unedited)

…

The day is already out and the sun's golden rays bathe the land with its warmth giving all under it energy and strength to go on and live for another day. In this sunny day, a group of four people are currently traveling back to the city of Yun Ji.

While on the road, the three who were asleep for the whole night began asking Shin Jiao a lot of questions on what had happened that night. They have heard some of the soldiers talking about some monster who started the plague, but it was too vague as the story has already been unclear since it was passed down from one ear to another.

Heaving a sigh, Shin Jiao began telling them the story of the figure he saw that night and how the two brave soldiers fought against it. Plus he also told them how he was able to cure the villagers using the small pills that he and Doctor Di created.

In fact, those pills are just a simple panacea to increase the body's healing rate. Since the cause of the sickness of the villagers are the dark Qi in their bodies, those pills are able to heal their bodies normally in two to three days.

As the three traversed the road, Shin Jiao began explaining to the two doctors about some simple medical procedure and the discussion went on and on. Meanwhile, the one driving the carriage is Daixa Fengdi as she volunteered. She didn't understand anything about medicine; hence she decided to just focus on the road.

…

Meanwhile, deep within the forest, the figure of a man wearing black clothes is currently rushing towards a direction. Not long later, he reached the secluded cave.

After entering, he carefully checked his surroundings and then after making sure that everything is clear, he carefully pushes a large stone in one corner and a long winding path going down appear. He traversed the long winding path going down for a long time and soon arrives in an underground room.

Mysterious stones light the room like it was daytime and a mysterious figure sitting in a corner suddenly moved. The figure is wearing a white robe with a long veil on its face. The figure is that of a woman, with many scars visible on her arms and partly exposed shoulder.

Around her being is a dark aura that seems to emit an eerie vibe. Even Jiangxi Do with his already unfeeling body felt like a shiver running down his spine upon seeing the woman. However, upon seeing those eyes which is the only thing exposed on her face, his frozen heart would soften and a loving feeling would appear on it.

”How was the harvest?” a low ghastly voice asked.

Lowering himself, Jiangxi Do replied.

”Someone interfered in the village. All the dark energy that we gathered was all removed. Nothing is left.”

”What? Who? How could that be possible? Unless…” the woman suddenly became angered and then suddenly contemplated on something.

”Is there someone with a dark aura like mine in that village?” the woman asked as she is thinking that there might be another demon or a shadow being also trapped in this place like herself.

Although she is powerful and strong, she dares not to expose herself yet. It's only been some years when she suddenly found herself gaining consciousness in this world for some unknown reason.

She is thinking that if another demon or a supreme shadow being has entered this world, then she could work with that entity and try to escape this prison-like place which is devoid of spiritual energy. Plus the suppressing power made it hard for her to make full use of her powers.

As a prime demon, she was hailed as one of the most powerful prime demons in the war. However, due to her rampage, she lost control of her own powers and was sent to the void. After a long struggle which lasted for thousands of years, she then now woke up in this new place.

Luckily for her, the person who owned the body died and her consciousness awoken. The man who helped her seems to be the woman's husband. Hence as a reward, she turned the man into a ghoul. There is no better reward for him than to serve as her pawn. As a prime demon, she viewed herself higher than others. So everyone is considered beneath her feet.

”No… there is none. However, there is a healer that was able to heal the villagers.”

”Hmm… a healer… interesting.”

The two began to discuss their next move and their next target.

After transforming the man, she felt his resentment and anguish which fueled her vitality. Since she was still able to get at least some dark Qi a few days ago, she thought that it is already enough to go to that place. With the way those people acted according to her memory and the man's, she knew that she can easily invade that place and absorb huge amount of dark Qi if it happens.

With that plan in her mind, she showed a wide grin under the veil, and a set of razor-sharp teeth appears.

…

It was already noon when Shin Jiao and the group arrive in the city after those long hours of traveling. They soon reached the middle of the city where the city infirmary is located.

”Well, I'll be leaving you, guy, then. Thank you for the adventure… and the experience. I think I need to cultivate more and become stronger.” She thought as Daixa Fengdi got off and left the group.

”Hey, miss Fengdi… How can I see you again?”
