Chapter 704 Cruel Demons.
Shi Lang delegated the tasks to the people and began searching for the decoy. He moved quickly through the woods, and the tracks were getting obvious. They were getting more obvious with the distance they covered.
Shi Lang could conclude that the decoy was getting tired, and the fatigue was physical and mental fear. This forest was not exactly a place to wander. Even the strong cultivators might suffer if they came across a strong spiritual beast. Spirit beasts were magical beings, and they were not feared for nothing.
The terran was searching for the person when he found the tracks getting even more rushed. He looked around carefully with the aid of his spiritual sense. He concluded that a reptile spirit beast was after the decoy.
There was one fact in this detail that he held back from the other two. The decoy was a child. The shoes the decoy wore were big, but the pressure on the ground indicated that the shoe was bigger than the actual foot inside. Soon, Shi Lang found the impression on the ground to change back from a shoe to human feet.
His suspicion was confirmed. The demon had used a child as a decoy. Shi Lang moved quickly. Even if he knew the child must not have met a good ending, he still wanted to find out the spirit beast and confirm. Shi Lang was taught not to reach conclusions. It was a simple case of seeing the corpse to confirm the death.
...
While Shi Lang was searching for the traces of the decoy, Bo Qingtan was looking for the pack. He did find tracks, but soon, he noticed that they all had a pattern, and after a few miles, the tracks would divide. This time, it was not as simple as a single set of feet but multiple ones.
His brows furrowed. He was also smart to know that the demonic cultivator had used people to serve the purpose of a decoy. He could not help but shake his head and clench his fists. Until he found the demonic cultivator, he could not do anything good.
This was the bitter reality of the moment. He realized he was getting emotional and sighed as he mumbled, "I do not understand how someone can manage their rationality in such a cruel situation."
He was not alone in this dilemma. Yun Xue was searching in another direction, but like the two guys, she did not intend to find a spirit beast to conclude the death of the decoy. In her mind, she would rather focus on finding the ones with a higher chance of survival: the ladies and the children they carried in their wombs.
It was not that she was not effected. On the contrary, she was doing this because her rage was suffocating her. She could think of nothing else but to kill the demonic cultivator behind all this mess. She wanted to slap those women awake from the spell and ask them if they lost their minds when they decided to indulge with such a guy.
She was not thinking with rationality anymore. She was already moving at her top speed, and her blade was already in her hand. She was going to take the route of 'attack first and talk later,' although it seemed to be a good choice, she forgot something crucial.
...
The trio combed the forest, but they gained nothing. Shi Lang was farther away, and Bo Qingtan was chasing after Yun Xue. He was afraid that the lady might lose her cool and act recklessly.
The young master of the Dragon Sword Sect rushed quickly, but his heart palpitated when he reached his goal.
Yun Xue was already charging at a group of people. Bo Qingtan looked at the group and found three women tied to a pole inside an array spell circle. A man stood under the pole with his hands folded. His expression changed. This guy was performing a ritual and a very dangerous one at that.
He rushed forward and yelled, "Yun Xue, stop! Do not go further."
However, his words fell on a deaf ear. The lady yelled, "Die, Demon!! Blizzard Blade."
Her sword glowed icy blue, revealing a cold sword intent that froze everything in its path. Unlike before, this attack was refined and well-controlled this time. She had used this move against Shi Lang in the tri-sect tournament.
The demonic cultivator inside the circle did not react, but a black sword wave emerged from the side and collided with Yun Xue's attack. The impact of the two attacks canceled out each other. Yun Xue was enraged and shouted, "Who dares!"
A light chuckle sounded from the surroundings. Yun Xue turned around to find the person who had foiled her plans. Soon, her wish came true. She found herself looking at a lady who was dressed seductively.
She frowned and asked, "Who are you, and what do you want?"
The lady smiled and replied, "Who I am, does not matter, as for what I want. I can use your pretty face as an alternative to mine. Come here, let me peel it off your head."
Yun Xue tightened the grip around the hilt of her sword. She pointed her blade at the lady and said, "It seems that not only are you demonic cultivators scourge of the realm, but also mentally ill."
The lady in the violet grab did not mind and chuckled. She replied, "If you do not wish to come, let me take this young gent behind you. He will serve me well as a pleasure toy. Hehehe, what do you say, young man? Let big sister take you on a ride of your life."
Bo Qingtan had arrived behind Yun Xue and asked, "What do you intend to do with these three ladies, big sister?"
His words shocked Yun Xue and the demonic cultivator herself. The former did not expect Bo Qingtan to be talking so respectfully to a demonic cultivator, and the latter was the same. However, after the initial shock, the demonic cultivator said, "Since, you asked nicely, I will tell you, little brother."
