Chapter 910: Tree Root (2/2)
‘Many have entered now, powerful humans too.’ Another two days passed. As he was traveling across a mountain range, he noticed human footsteps.
He calculated and found the auras to be familiar. He followed them and eventually saw Eight Lord Gu in a valley. More than ten old men from the Gu accompanied him.
There were two more prodigies from medial clans - Murong Jiankang and Huang Yuesheng. They brought their own experts as well.
They were the top prodigies in Crimson Leaf, strong enough to intimidate the ancestors from the ancient clans.
They wanted to find treasures and legacies in this grave as well. They were resting in this valley right now after preparing stealth and defensive formations. They naturally understood the danger in this place.
The Gu was tricked by Feiyun and suffered great losses. Even one paragon has fallen and their army annihilated.
Eight Lord Gu looked angry as he sat on top of a jade platform to recover energy. They clearly fought a bloody battle earlier and managed to get out.
Feiyun was on top of the cliff nearby and looked down. A smirk formed on his face.
‘Eighth, this is what you get for trying to kill me.’ Feiyun put on the invisible robe again and disappeared.
An hour later, Lord Xueshuang and several hundred demons surrounded the valley.
“That human’s aura disappeared here, he must be inside.” Lord Xueshuang said: “There are stealth formations… hmm, they’re not erected by him. It’s another group inside. Did he lead us here on purpose to be killed by the ones inside?”
“Keke, his little scheme can’t trick you, Lord Xueshuang.”
“The humans inside are relatively strong but they're no match for us. My Lord, should we kill them?”
“Seems that he wants to use us to kill the humans in the valley. I rather not help him out. Let’s continue searching for his presence.” Lord Xueshuang smiled beautifully.
The demons didn’t fall for Feiyun’s ploy. However, the humans inside the valley had a different idea.
They noticed the demons right away. The three prodigies became alarmed.
Remember, Eighth Lord Gu was brilliant and smart. Unfortunately, he had one weakness - lust for half-demon girls.
Since he liked half-demons so much, he naturally liked actual demons even more.
“Fluttering silver hair, gorgeous figure, elegant like a dancer.” His eyes flashed as he stared at the demoness in red.
“Eighth Lord, this demoness is extremely strong, this will be difficult.” An old man spoke softly.
“Don’t worry, I brought a soul-suppression treasure from the clan, it should be enough to stop her.” Murong Jiankang smiled.
“What are we waiting for, let’s go!” Huang Yuesheng took out a one-meter-long talisman, seemingly made from jade. Lightning bolts surged on the surface; inside was a monstrous energy.
Lord Xueshuang’s group wanted to pursue Feng Feiyun and didn’t think much of the humans due to their cultivation.
However, they didn’t expect these humans to have such a high-level talisman. The talisman descended from above and unleashed lightning bolts everywhere.
Each looked like a lightning dragon empowered with a Heaven’s Emergence aura, enough to kill a powerful demon.
It only took five seconds before more than two hundred demons were burnt to a crisp. Lightning and embers sparked on the corpses.
The formations around the valley deactivated and the humans walked out.
“Brother Huang, I can’t believe you have a top offensive talisman refined by a paragon. I am in awe.” Eighth Lord Gu happily chatted.
“This will be a lot of contribution points. This trip is worth it even if we don’t get any legacy.” Murong Jiankang nodded in agreement.
“Your clan’s army was sacrificed by the demons, we’re helping you get payback.” Huang Yuesheng added.
Lord Xueshuang was furious as she walked out of the lightning waves and scattered dust. Demonic energy surrounded her so she was completely unscathed. She uttered coldly: “Weaklings, I showed mercy by not killing you all. How dare you offend me?”
