Chapter 865 - Decisive Retreat (1/2)

Seeing the entire series of events, Lin Mu was stunned.

”How's that little drop so powerful? Is it a poison?” Lin Mu couldn't help but say.

”That's the Violet Myrtle Drop, one of the more… unorthodox techniques of the Rainbow pill sect. Its said that it can melt flesh and metal like it was wax and takes years to refine.” Elder Weimin explained.

Lin Mu had not heard of a technique like this and was intrigued by it. It was a very powerful one, as could be seen and he was certainly interested in it. Not only for his own but also because there was always a chance that he might have to go against it someday.

The best option was to know the enemy and their skills so that Lin Mu would be able to overcome them.

Back at the ruins, after the beasts were melted away, the man looked at the Centennial sword sect elder.

”Elder Kijian's Ember Dawn sword is certainly as impressive as I've heard.” Elder Ren praised.

”Hmm… I could say likewise for your Violets Myrtle Drop too, Elder Ren. Though… was this the right time to use it? Wasn't this a waste of it?” Elder Kijian replied.

”Haha, I know what you mean. But no… I don't have the same restrictions as others.” Elder Ren said before he stretched out the hand that held the cup.

He made a scooping gesture with the cup and the liquid that had spread all around started to gather.

~SHUA~

It rushed towards a single point and condensed back into a single violet colored drop. It then rose up into the sky and went back into the same position it was at in the cup.

”Oh? You already reached that stage?” Elder Kijian was surprised.

”It's just some tricks. You don't have to worry about it, elder Kijian.” Elder Ren chuckled before putting away the cup.

Elder Kijian narrowed his eyes at the hypocrisy, but decided it was not worth talking to the man any longer. Instead of that, he observed the area around them and felt more auras appearing from the depths.

”Are the other elders done yet?” Elder Kijian questioned with a frown.

”They should be soon. The beasts that appeared around the camp are already being taken care of. The disciples will have retreated soon enough.” Elder Ren replied.

”Mmm… we will have more to fight. I doubt it will be enough for just the two of us.” Elder Kijian said frankly.

Hearing this, Elder Ren raised his brows. His spirit sense was slightly inferior to that of Elder Kijian but even then he could let it reach the depths of the ruins. When it finally reached the fifth floor that was now fully revealed, his expression changed.

”Looks like this is not an inheritance ground anymore. The destruction within it was way beyond what we imagined. There is no distinction between floors now. Plus, the beasts make it impossible to proceed, anyway.” Elder Ren spoke.

”We will take out the stronger beasts and let the disciples handle the rest. That will have to suffice for their training this time around.” Elder Kijian replied.

”The Centennial sword sect seems to have benefited this time. These kinds of situations are just perfect for your style of training.” Elder Ren said as he withdrew a pair of fans from his spatial storage bracelet.
