Chapter 152 - Blood Pool (1/2)

Looking at the lotus in her palm, the woman in black is satisfied. She looks at the direction of Lin’s villa and thinks about the golden hawk.

The woman wants to take the hawk away. Meanwhile, a long howl comes from afar. Under the moonlight, a man is rus.h.i.+ng down from the mid-air. Hearing the howl, the woman’s complexion changes. She turns around and disappears with a stream of blood mist.

The man lands on the ground. He has silver hair but his cheeks are rosy. Lin Luoran would be surprised if she were here. It is Master Mu, who lives in the capital.

“Where is she?” Master Mu has just got off the plane to R City. He runs here non-stop. All he sees is that Huizhu’s apprentice is lying on the ground covered in blood, and the person he wants to catch is nowhere to be found.

“Gone.” Huizhu puts a bolus in An’s mouth and asks his other apprentices to carry An back to the temple. He adds: “She took Lin Luoran.”

Master Mu is soaked in sweat: “You just let her do that?… If Lin’s master knows of this, what are we going to say?”

Huizhu looks down and swings his whisk to another direction. He says indifferently: “Isn’t her origin a mystery? We should wait and see how she will get out of the trouble… If she is not powerful enough, why should we care about the capability of her master?”

Huizhu’s words make sense. Master Mu sighs. He is never able to be calm as Huizhu is. A talent like Lin Luoran is rarely seen in today’s world of cultivation. Why let her die in vain?

Huizhu starts walking. He was not about to say more, however, looking at his angry younger Brother Mu, he explains: “The woman used the Blood Escape. We are not able to follow.”

Master Mu is stunned like a fly just flew into his mouth. The Blood Escape — it has only been five years since the last time he saw the woman, yet she is now able to use the fancy trick of Blood Escape. She must have made a lot of “elixirs” during these years… Every time Master Mu thinks of the past, his heart is filled with regret.

However, if spilled milk could be gathered up again, so many things would be different, right?

Suddenly, his grandson’s face comes into Master Mu’s mind. Mu Tiannan always grins cheekily, but Master Mu knows that his grandson frowns a lot when he is alone.

People with determined hearts are the ones who are likely to be stubborn. This kind of personality can be good or bad — they may become G.o.d-like or completely evil within a momentary slip.

The so-called gifted ones who are born with Taoist root also have to strive in order to cultivate in such a chaotic secular world.

Master Mu has lived 105 years. He feels helpless tonight. Looking at Lin’s villa, Mu wonders that do Lin’s parents know that their daughter has been taken away by an evil woman?

Under the quiet moonlight, the angry howls of the golden hawk answer Master Mu’s question.

Goldie is a spirited creature and it can feel the evil. Lin Luoran’s smell was gone all of a sudden, which makes Goldie alerted. Li Xi’er and the others are not Goldie’s master so Goldie doesn’t follow their orders. It howls and spreads its wings. Goldie flies into the sky and follows Lin Luoran’s smell.

Master Mu is absorbed in his thoughts while looking at the direction Goldie is going. He has heard of the capability of the golden hawk. Is it going to find its master?

********

Lin Luoran wakes up in a dungeon filled with the smell of blood.

While being half-awake, Lin feels that she is in an endless sea of blood. After she opens her eyes, she finds the scene in front of her scarier than her dream.

Two steps away from where she is lying, there is a rolling pool of blood. Lin knows for sure from the smell of blood that the fluid in the pool is not red ink — it is human blood!

Lin Luoran feels weak all over. For the moment, she can’t even stand up. Lying on the ground, she starts checking on the dungeon.
