Chapter 853: No Need to Thank Me (1/2)

Holding a translucent and sparkling sphere in his hand, the leader of the Fiends seemed rather young.

A drop of green blood was slowly swirling within the sphere.

He looked at it from time to time to sense it with his bloodline power.

The drop of green blood emanated a misty green aura as it swirled on and on.

Then, he looked down and laid his eyes on the lake that had already become clear. In their own language, he said, “The grand patriarch’s remains are at the bottom of this lake!”

That drop of blood came from an offspring of this very grand patriarch.

It was through this drop of blood that they had sensed anomalies, and found their way to this place.

Even dead, a ninth grade Fiend grand patriarch still contained rich residual flesh power and toxins, which was incomparably valuable to other Fiends.

The leader of this group was a Fiend named Billy, who was a member of an ancient Fiend clan.

The purpose of their trip to the Shatter Battlefield was to recover the remains of that ninth grade grand patriarch, whose clan had long since withered away.

Billy had obtained a drop of Blood Essence from one of that ninth grade grand patriarch’s offspring. With its help and the information he had obtained from his clan members who had returned from the Shatter Battlefield, he had determined that the ninth grade grand patriarch had perished in this region.

The reason why Billy’s group hadn’t gone all-out to pursue Xie Yunhai earlier was because finding the grand patriarch was their primary goal, and they hadn’t wanted to waste their time on anything else.

Who would have thought that he would find Xie Yunhai here after following the direction of that drop of blood to this place?

“It was them I told you about, sister,” Xie Yunhai said in a low, grim voice, a shred of hate flashing across his eyes. “I was nearly killed by them on my way back here. What they’re looking for is probably the dead Fiend at the lake bottom!”

Xie Wanting’s gaze swept across every single Fiend.

Her expression gradually grew grim.

She could sense that most of them were at the sixth grade, with only one who was relatively old at the seventh grade.

The sixth grade equaled the Profound realm, while the seventh grade equaled the Soul realm.

However, Xie Wanting didn’t have a single Soul realm expert on her team.

“The grand patriarch’s remains!” After exclaiming these words in the human language, Billy suddenly dashed towards the lake.

The other Fiends followed along, taking large steps.

At this moment, Nie Tian smiled and asked aloud, “Did you come for the remains of a senior of your race?”

Billy nodded. “That’s right.”

With a bright smile, Nie Tian said, “Okay, you shall have it.”

With these words, he sent a soul message.

SPLASH!

Water splashed as the enormous Bone Blood Demon shot out of the clear lake.

Clutched in its huge bony hand was the Fiend corpse, from which it had absorbed residual flesh power to recover its strength during the past few days.

WHOOSH!

The Bone Blood Demon flew directly towards Billy holding the Fiend corpse, whose residual power it had drained.

A hint of delight appeared in Billy’s eyes as he rapidly reached out and received the senior’s corpse, which he had gone to great lengths to find, with both hands.

However, his expression flickered as soon as his hands touched the corpse.

He failed to sense the existence of any flesh power or toxins, which could help nourish his bloodline and awaken his bloodline talents, within the grand patriarch’s corpse.

This meant the corpse had completely lost its value to him.

Expression as calm as ever, Nie Tian said to him, “From the look of it, the remains of that senior of yours have already lost their residual power after millennia. Even the toxic mist that used to cover this lake has dispersed completely over this time.”
