Chapter 215: Tragedy (1/2)

It wasn’t long before all the essence of blood and Qi was absorbed by the thread of green aura residing in Nie Tian’s heart.

However, the green aura didn’t grow a bit afterwards, and no change could be seen.

The fact that he had awakened his first bloodline talent, Life Transfer, merely by consuming spirit beast meat made him anticipate that after consuming a whole Blood Pill, which contained far richer essence of flesh and blood, it would cause the green aura to change in some way, or even awaken a second bloodline talent.

Staring at the silent green aura, he was somewhat disappointed, thinking that he might need to reconsider the profundity of bloodline power.

He gradually calmed himself and started contemplating.

Then he realized that the thread of green aura must have been there for some time, and it might even existed before he had participated in the Heaven Gate trial. It was the significant amount of spirit beast meat that he had consumed throughout these months that had provided him with enough power to awaken that first bloodline talent.

He had just happened to have that meal of spirit beast meat when he had built up to the verge of breaking through, and that was why he was under the impression that a meal of spirit beat meat had made the difference.

Therefore, in order for the green aura to upgrade again, he would need to feed it with far more essence of flesh and blood.

A single Blood Pill was far from enough to achieve that.

“Bloodline…” Nie Tian marveled at the profundity of the mysterious power that resided his heart and ran through his veins.

He was also prepared to spend a long time to awaken his second bloodline talent.

It was at that moment that Zou Yi from the Ghost Sect called out, pointing down, “Look! Down on the ground!”

Nie Tian opened his eyes and looked down through the gaps between the Bone Blood Demon’s huge bones, and found that they were flying over a vast expanse of dark red wasteland.

On the wasteland, a group of human commoners were fleeing.

Chasing after them were two giant low-tier outsiders, one of which was even munching on a tender, pale arm that apparently belonged to a human girl.

With a grim look in his eyes, Zou Yi said, “Nie Tian, can you control the Bone Blood Demon to fly closer to the ground?”

“Sure.” The thought of it appeared in Nie Tian’s mind.

In the next moment, the Bone Blood Demon dashed down from midair at a high speed, and when it was less than a hundred meters from the ground, Zou Yi jumped off of the Bone Blood Demon.

As he gracefully descended, numerous pitch-black banners whizzed out of his bracelet of holding. As soon as they appeared, they unfurled against the wind, and the sinister ghosts on them could be seen.

All of a sudden, a strong cold aura that originated from Zou Yi’s mind and the vicious ghosts on his banners rushed toward the two low-tier outsiders.

Since they didn’t know how to use the power of their soul to defend themselves, upon the impact of Zou Yi’s psychic attack, they could only run away, holding their heads and screaming.

At that moment, the banners swooped down from midair, and the banner poles, which were as sharp as blades, pierced deeply into the low-tier outsiders’ gigantic bodies. They dropped dead in the next moment.

Upon seeing that Zou Yi had killed the two low-tier outsiders that had been chasing after them, all the fleeing commoners stopped and gathered around him, their faces filled with excitement and hope. “It’s Lord Zou Yi from the Ghost Sect!”

“Lord Zou Yi, You’ve come back from the Heaven Gate!”

Apparently, Zou Yi knew them. He asked, “How’s Northland City holding up?”

“The outsiders have killed most the citizens who stayed and fought.” One of them answered. “Only a handful were lucky enough to make it out alive.”

A pained expression appeared on Zou Yi’s face as he nodded to that person and said, “You should go to the Blood Sect. You’ll be safer there.”

With these words, Zou Yi leaped swiftly back onto the shoulder of the Bone Blood Demon, which had remained in the air for him.

“Aihh…” Hong Can from the Hell Sect let out a deep sigh as he shook his head.

Nie Tian’s expression also turned grim.

Li Jing, who was still sitting on her blood-colored lotus, had floated in her original position as the Bone Blood Demon descended.

Only after seeing that Zou Yi had returned to the shoulder of the Bone Blood Demon did she drive her lotus and head out toward the Ghost Sect again.
