Chapter 53 (1/2)
Back at the Universal Phenomenon Sect, Liu Ming was forced to take the Truth Potion. Under its influence, the truth was discovered.
Lei Kuo had used Ten Thousand Mid Tier Soul Crystals to buy over Liu Ming, requesting for his aid in acting as a fake alibi.
Similarly, Lei Kuo had colluded with other Inner Sect disciples with the same method. With his bribery, they all set up an impeccable lie for him.
They also uncovered another situation, which was especially ghastly and painful truth for Lei Heng.
Lei Xiang had disappeared!
According to the Guard Disciple, when Qin Wushuang and the rest rushed to the place where Lei Kun had died, Lei Xiang suddenly left the Sect.
“I’m afraid our Disciplinary Elder, Lei Xiang also colluded with this Black Blood Clan.” Learning of this new, Qin Wushuang’s eyes covered with frost and turned terrifyingly pitch black.
For now, this ghastly incident had come to a temporary close. Lei Kun was buried in a dignified manner. When on the other hand, Lei Kuo’s body was taken by Lei Heng and chopped into multiple pieces to feed the dogs.
The Universal Phenomenon Sect also issued a statement to Linhai Province. It was made known that the Disciplinary Elder Lei Xiang had betrayed the Sect, colluding with the Black Blood Clan.
In the statement, the details of the Black Blood Clan were also intricately explained, reminding other Sects to be wary of the Gravedigger Clan and set up appropriate defences at the graves of their ancestors.
When a Practitioner reaches high levels of cultivation, their body’s will toughen, making them resistant to corrosion.
According to Wei Wushuang inferences, the Black Blood Clan probably met with severe difficulties back at their homeland. Owing to potential substantial injuries, they had fled to the secluded Linhai Province. Now, they were frantically sourcing for Nourishment Corpses, in hopes of devouring them to replenish their strength.
The appearance of an otherworldly race like Black Blood Clan in the region of the Humans could only spell disaster.
Within instants, the statement by the Universal Phenomenon Sect blazed through the region like wildfire.
The most disturbing and terrifying news for the masses was not the defection of the Disciplinary Elder, but the appearance of an Otherworldly Race.
Within the Province, the majority of the people were like Lin Qian and Lei Qian, unaware of the existence of races other than Humans.
In the blink of an eye, every household and streets were bustling with heated discussions about Otherworldly Races and the Black Blood Clan.
After all, the Province had been under the impression that Humans were the only intelligent species in the world.
Within a small vassal city of Universal Phenomenon Sect in Linhai Province, two figures sat in a small village hut.
One of them was an elderly man. His pale white skin was accentuated by his hair of flowing silver hair. His pearl-like skin was flushed red with rage as he screamed at the other elderly man in front of him, “Yall never make but ways mar! This grandson of yours is fucking useless!”
“Are you really blaming my poor grandson for everything?” Lei Xiang shot right up, glaring menacingly at the silver-haired elder, “if you have given clearer instructions, would such a slip even occur? Fucking Otherworldly Race!”
“Now people in Linhai Province know everything about me. It’s much more inconvenient than in the past to do anything. Hmph, I never expected that there was such an accomplished man in this poor and remote place.” The silver-haired man paced back and forth in the room anxiously. “There isn’t enough time. It would be a waste if I didn’t recover fully from my injuries when that ruin appears again.”
“It’s all Wei Wushuang and Lin Qian’s fault that things turned out this way!” Lei Xiang’s eyes glowed with killing intent as he grits his teeth.
Hearing the two names, the silver-haired man frowned, his expression vexed, “It is so hard to make any moves now… argh, so hard…”
Suddenly, an epiphany struck him as his eyes lit up. Turning to Lei Xiang, he asked anxiously, “This Linhai Province is right beside the sea. Did you ever encounter the Seamen Clan?”
“Seamen Clan?” Those words did not ring a bell for Lei Xiang. Shaking his head slowly, Lei Xiang said, “Things about races other than Humans were a first for me when I met you. I only knew about other Otherworldly Races after this old man met you. What Seamen Clan? Never even heard of them.”
