Chapter 400: Betrayal (1/2)

Lin Mu could instantly feel the aura of the man that was sitting on the blood pool was dangerous. There was a malevolent energy thrumming from his body and everyone shuddered due to it. But that wasn't what shocked Lin Mu the most, rather it was something else.

”The invader… it's not… him…” Lin Mu muttered with shock.

”You sure!?” Xukong immediately asked.

”Yes… but he still does have some traces of the invaders aura. Which means…” Lin Mu replied.

”He was able to banish the invader from his body… but that shouldn't be possible for someone like him.” Xukong said.

”Yes, wasn't the Great slumber bear only able to do that because of his bloodline?…” Lin Mu questioned but then realized the answer on his own.

”THE BLOODLINE! He's been using the blood sacrifice to remove the invader from his body!” Lin Mu understood.

While Lin Mu was reeling from the shock, the peak master Yi Deng and Supreme elder were going through something similar. While the others couldn't tell what Cultivation base the man in front of them was, they could very well do.

”Pseudo Dao Shell realm… he's at the Pseudo Dao Shell realm…” The Supreme elder muttered in shock.

The man who was sitting on the blood pool was shirtless and was only wearing a pair of pants. There were tattoos over his body and the blood from the blood pool was flowing along his skin, like snakes slithering on a tree.

The small streams of blood would climb up from his legs and spread all over his body, slowly being absorbed by it. The man's pupils were also a shade of deep red and his black hair was long, extending all the way to his waist.

If one looked at his one would think that he was in his thirties but his voice which contained the vicissitudes of life told otherwise.

~sigh~

”Looks like my brother failed in his endeavor and was too late…” The man spoke.

”You! Who are you?” Yi Deng questioned.

This was a question that each and every person had in this room and they were all wondering what kind of a person could do something like this.

”Me? I am a forgotten man… a nobody…” The man spoke in a calm tone.

”A nobody? You do all this and you say you are a nobody?” the peak master asked, anger tainting his voice.

”Hahaha!” The man laughed and stood up.

The other people became tense and became ready to act if anything happened.

”Why Yi Deng, have you forgotten me? Those were you very own words that you used to call me… I remember correctly, you said that to the elder of the Rainbow pills sect a few years ago.” The man spoke.

Yi Deng's eyes went wide as the man said that. He mind ran at the speed of lightning trying to remember and see if what he said was indeed true.

”Nobody… that was… YOU! You're sect master Gu Yao!” Yi Deng remembered.
