Chapter 137: Fields Dyed in Blood (2/2)

Although it was possible, it was hard to believe that someone would spirit cultivate in the middle of the exam and under such dangerous circumstances.

Suddenly the inner court elder stopped.

”What's wrong?” The outer court elder asked.

”I smell blood...”

The outer court elder eventually picked up on the scent as well, but it was extremely faint. From there they proceeded with caution.

Upon reaching the site, they both froze in horror.

The lush green field was dyed in blood. Limbs, flesh, and visceral pieces were scattered around and across the open field. The whole thing looked as if it had come straight out of a nightmare.

The outer court elder started feeling nauseous, and the inner court elder just couldn't believe her eyes. They had never encountered such a gory scene in their entire lives. It was so brutal it made their skins crawl. They were almost convinced that it wasn't the doing of an ordinary tiered beast, but something far more terrifying.

The outer court elder subconsciously took a step back. There wasn't supposed to be anything within this level that could threaten her, but whatever was capable of creating such a horrible scene frightened her to her core.

”How could this happen. There's at least 20 disciples here, nothing in this level should have been able to defeat a group this big.”

The bodies weren't dragged here or else there would be trails of blood, and there were no signs that a tiered beast was in the area either. If a beast was here it would have left some clues, but there were none, none at all.

The inner court elder closely examined the scene, eventually coming to a shocking discovery.

”These disciples weren't killed by tiered beasts, they were killed by another disciple.”

Surprised by her words, the outer court elder looked back at the scene. Although it was extremely unlikely, she just assumed they were attacked by a horde of 4th tiered beasts, but the inner court elder's next words dispelled that thought.

”The natural qi in this area is too weak. There wouldn't even be a single tier 3 beast, let alone a horde of 4th tiered beasts.”

”Now that you mentioned it, this does feel like a safe zone. Could a disciple really do something like this? This... this shouldn't be possible right?”

The inner court elder didn't respond because she couldn't believe it herself.

The 20 dead disciples all had a cultivation realm above the Refinement realm or else they wouldn't have been able to participate in the exam, but even with the 20 of them here, they were still no match against this mystery disciple.

Even if that one disciple was in the Spirit Core or Solid Body realm, he still wouldn't have a chance against 9 or 10 refinement realm cultivators, much less 20.

”But how could he win against 20 disciples?”

”I don't know, but whoever this guy is this certainly wasn't his first time.”

Outer court disciples weren't capable of doing such ruthless acts of murder, they simply wouldn't be able to stomach it. However, this disciple had killed all 20 of them in the most gruesome way possible.

”I'm going to inform someone about this. You stay here and collect their pendants. If you find any more like them let me know.”

The inner court elder quickly left, leaving the outer court elder alone with the corpse.
