Volume 2 Chapter 48 (2/2)
Zhang Yan carefully looked around, and then slowly drifted toward the corpse's position. When he came near, he reached out and held the man's chin, lifted up his face a bit and carefully looked at it. It turned out that the man was one of the few men who came with the member of the Han Family.
When he was about to check the cause of the death, he suddenly heard people's voice from far distance.
He did not know whether it was enemy or friend, and it was also too late to go anywhere else. Zhang Yang's eyes flashed as he quickly bolted to the sideways and hid inside the hollow place of this strange stone.
At this time, only then did he find that this corpse only had an upper body, as the lower part of the body had gone missing. Moreover, the blood and flesh were all had gone, it was obvious that it had been sucked and devoured.
His brows slightly wrinkled. Eating the flesh and blood. This was the legendary method of a demon. This kind of evil spirit able to manifest its body, and in the process would be in the state of transformation of Yin and Yang, and their strength was comparable to 2 cultivators at the Third Stage of the Radiant Qi Realm. Moreover, their speed was also extremely fast and very difficult to deal with.
The voices from the distance was getting closer. And Zhang Yan could tell that it was a man who was talking to a woman.
Zhang Yan formed a secret seal as he used the technique from the Billows Cloud Secret Manual to condense his qi as mist and fog then rose up from his feet. Then, it mixed with the faint mist from the surrounding, enveloping and sucking his body gradually into the mist.
The two people were getting closer. The male was a fine-looking man and clad in black-colored Daoist robe as flower and big red blood cloud embroidered on his robe's chest and front shoulder. And in contrast with the eye-catching match of black and red color attire, he also had a red blood gourd in his hand.
The female was wearing a white robe that exposed her belly with embedded green pearls from the top part down to her navel, but her bulging chest and shoulders were tightly wrapped. The hem of her skirt was a plain white cloth skirt. She had and upward-rolled-haired bun hairstyle with beautiful and bewitching looks, and a devilish curvaceous body.
The two were flying over, and after having seen the corpse, they stopped by and halted near the giant stone.
The man extended his hand as a faint shadow then appeared mid-air and moved fast. The shadow's face was a bit vague but it could be faintly seen that the shadow and the dead cultivator from the Azure Ocean Sect's appearance was exactly the same.
“Junior Sister, how do you like my newly refined Blood Soul?”
The woman chuckled with disdain in her eyes and said, ”Senior Brother, your Blood Soul, aside from its distorting shape and its dispersing qi, it has no spiritual wisdom. At the most it could only flutter for 20 steps. There's no way that it could hurt anyone, or should I say more?”
The man laughed and said, ”It's naturally unable to be compared to your Blood Soul, Junior Sister. Besides, I only just refined it. If have refined it for such a long time, it wouldn't necessarily be weaker than yours.”
The women said with a sigh, “Master is truly amazing. It takes only a Blood Soul to face those 3 Azure Ocean Sect's disciples head-on who were at the Third Stage of the Radiant Qi Realm.”
“Those few cultivators from the Azure Ocean Sect were really powerful. Especially the one who cast out that blazing Divine Flame ring. And it seems that the flame is the nemesis of our Blood Souls. Not only did it burn my Blood Soul that I've been painstakingly refined, he even also has injured Master's Blood Soul and I'm afraid that even if he has to condense it again, it could not be used for at least a year.
Speaking up to there, the man's voice was unable to cover the anxiety and pain he felt.
The woman sneered, “I know that magical treasure. It called the Five Ring of Flame Divine Weapon. It can destroy all kinds of dark and Yin attributed creatures and things. Humph! If it were not for Master who is thousands of miles away at that time, and was only able to send out his Blood Soul to this place, how could he let him take advantage?”
Upon hearing it, Zhang Yan was startled. Could it be that these 2 people were the disciples from the Blood Soul Sect, one of the 6 Demonic Clans?
However, this place was under the Sea Eye of the Azure Ocean Sect. So how had they been able to come in? Could it be possible that there were also other pa.s.sages to this place?
Xie Zongyuan and the others must have met these people and had to leave. And he did not know as to how many disciples from the Blood Soul Sect had come to this place.
At this time, he could hear the woman continue speaking, ”For now, let's just wait for a few Azure Ocean Sect's disciple to jump down. Half a month later, after Master has subdued that True Demonic Device and rush to this place, then they will find it extremely difficult to escape from this calamity.”
The man then said, ”Hehehe, I originally only followed the Demon Hole's branch vein and then arrived at this small Demon Hole. But I've never thought that this place actually led directly to the Azure Ocean Sect's interior. This is but a joyful accident and surely can never be leaked out since this must have big uses in the future. The Elders surely will reward us when we go back.”
The woman looked around at the surroundings and said, ”Senior Brother, Senior Brother Li said that he would meet us here after 3 hours. But why haven't I seen him now? Could it be that he met tough monsters or evil spirits?”
The man laughed heartily and said, ”Senior Brother Li's cultivation is but very deep, so I'm not worrying about him. But if we encounter tough evil spirits, the one I should worried about is you Junior Sister.”
The woman rolled her white eyes at him and snapped with her charming anger, ”Senior Brother, you're even making fun of this poor woman.”
When they chatted and laughed up to there, Zhang Yan's brows p.r.i.c.ked up. From the talks those two were having, he could tell of some splinter news. These 2 people should be at the Radiant Qi Realm. But Zhang Yan also did not expect that there would be their Senior Brother Li that would also come here. Looking at the situation, adding with one more person who would be troublesome. If other disciples from Blood Soul Sect continued rus.h.i.+ng over, he feared that even if he wanted to escape later, he would not have the chance to do so.
He originally came to practice and they did not know his presence, so he did not want to have conflict with these people in advance. But now, the situation was beyond him had he chosen not to act.
When he thought up to there, a cold beam flashed in his eyes, as his killing intention gradually rose.
Notes:
It's kinda awkward to convert zhang (10 Chinese feet, 3.3m) into meter.
