The police stared fearfully at the corpses, the way these villagers were killed was so gruesome.
Some of their faces were very hard to recognize.
No matter how hard they tried no one of them had an idea about what happened or who did this.
As far as they know, no one has ever been so bold to go again the worshippers of the forest guardians for fear of death.
Since the establishment of the lion legacy trees many crime have stopped for example no one has been kidnapped and no farmer's has ever complained of their farm yield diminishing.
This sudden massacre was a mystery to them and no matter how they tried to look into it, the matter didn't seem to get any clearer.
If it was human that attacked them then the weapon will be traceable or the hand print of the perpetrator, however the perpetrator was not human and they were not sure if it was a beast either.
Thinking about this, a thought ran through their mind almost at once.
"Demon!"
Why demons?
The ancient description according to their ancestors who have witnessed the Ascent of this creatures states that they usually devour hearts, suck blood and do other stuffs.
A creature usually with wings to fly, fang to pierce and claw to grab, all these are the main features of demons as explained by the ancients.
Nevertheless, most cultivator usually embark on the demonic path and becoming demonic cultivator that will do anything for power.
In this case there was no suspect at all
Cringe Tang, at the moment had the highest authority among the police so he asked his colleagues to bring out their shovels and dig a wide and shallow pit to bury the body of the demised.
From their rings came shovels of different form and color.
Soon, the sound of the shovels hitting hard on the ground started sounding.
Some of them took the corpse away from the area they were going to dig while the other used their shovels to bore into the ground and dig out the blood soaked earth.
Before two hours, the pit digging process was complete and they started taking the corpse in one after the other.
After doing so, the police returned to their various branches with anger and sorrow in their eyes.
Out of everyone, Cringe Tang was the most bothered.
...
Two days have passed since then, Liam was still in his room sleeping.
After using so much powers, his body was now so weak that he could not even stand up and for the past two days he slept.
At the moment, it was the dead of the night.
Liam eyes opened, the moment his eyes opened, sharp pain invaded his body causing his head to ache and his body to weaken.
Liam struggled to sit up, his hands reached for his hands and grabbed it.
Then, everything that happened two days ago started pouring into his head, except that some was not among.
Only what he could remember was that he used bond with the devil of divine flame bloodline soul power and killed more than 200 persons.
And then, there was a fight between himself and old fellow who said his name was Tian Mo Sun alias great Mountain Eagle.
How everything happened that day, how he used so much profound techniques and how he was able to defeat someone above radiant heart stage kept playing in his head.
Liam looked at his clothes, at the moment the blood in his clothes has turned black in color and was sticky, some of the flesh part of the persons he killed such as their skin was on his body.
He shut his eyes for a brief moment to check how far his cultivation has increased and if his foundation was solid enough to witness another breakthrough.
Behold, not only was his cultivation base solidified, his demon core has also Increased in size but still had the same color.
This was the first time he ever witnessed growth of his demon core and he was surprised.
Liam withdrew his conscious from his demon core but he could only tell that his essence cultivation was at the peak stage of radiant heart realm.
He did not learn of the process to check his martial arts prowess, but how far his martial arts have increased was in his head because he could feel such profound physical strength and physique change in his body.
[System will be going on a brief update, will return in a week time]
'I should wash up before someone finds out.' Liam thought to himself as he proceeded into the bathroom and washed himself till he was as clean as new.
After that, Liam burnt the clothes he wore into ashes and threw them away.
Even his mask was changed because there was blood stains on it as well.
Liam smiled as he looked at himself in the mirror that was in the room.
The robe he wore before was rugged and dark in colour, something fitting the job he was doing but right now he was in a set of green clothes.
He could but deny his own handsomeness this time, and he even playfully thought of how he would break the heart of Jade beauties in the future.
Just then, his stomach grumbled, he was too hungry after sleeping for two days.
Do cultivator as strong as Liam get hungry?
Yes, the first five realm of cultivation are considered as mortal realms.
At this stage, cultivator can be considered as normal human that posses heavenly talents and gifts, with strength and wisdom.
At this stage, they can't go against nature in any way.
When they get tired, they need to rest!
Hunger need to be quenched by food and not essence, although there are pills this days that can act as food for cultivators; these pills are very easy and fast to refine and provide the body with the nutrient of a rich balanced meal.
Liam strolled out of his room, the system will be going on a quick update and will be returning in a week time so he could not alter his voice or anything.
The reason he changed his mask and his clothes was because it stinks and also because of the matter of identity.
Liam got to the last floor which holds the clerk and the restaurant, he did not eat there.
He strolled out quickly while dodging the gaze of the criminals he have conversed with during his stay in this inn, including Barnabas who was chilling with his buddies at the moment.
Almost thirty minutes later, Liam could be seen in another restaurant eating the beast meal he could get.
At that moment that he was eating, he sighted three men dressed in dark robe.
The way they walked and conversed was fishy
So he activated demon eyes for a brief moment; now he could use demon eyes for more than six hours without getting a breakdown.
With his perception Increased, he could see the heartbeat of the three and when he focused less the insignia on their clothes became visible.
It was the insignia of the yellow horn black wing group!
'How coincidental and fortunate!' He smirked in his heart, looking at the trio as they arrived at a vacant seat.
The three of them are young, the oldest of them all could be twenty eight or so.
Wait! why will such a wanted gang show up without hiding their insignia?
If you recall clearly, Liam had to use to demon eye to probe their identity.
The insignia on them was hidden from the eyes of normal human eyes and were as opened as nakedness with the demon eyes.
"Last night was awesome! I can't believe I've isolated myself from such pleasurable life style." The youngest of them with long blonde died in ponytail said with a very excited smile.
"Haha, I was so shock to find out that one of us was who have seen more than life itself was still a virgin. I joined hand with brother Hundred and helped you to see the light."
"Haha, brother Hundred, you are so amazing." ponytail turned to the oldest among the three of them, that one was on hood and has a cold personality of a killer.
The trio discussed about last night until the meal was served.
Hundred had a small book in his hands that he was reading and he did not touch his food not until three minutes have passed.
While the other two ponytail and Feral nine downed their meal.
'Weird!' Liam thought to himself with his eyes still focused on the trio while he downed his own meal.
Feral nine and ponytail had cultivation of peak stage radiant heart realm and mid stage radiant heart realm respectively.
But Hundred had a mysterious energy wave surrounding his dantian that made it impossible for the demon eyes to see through and tell his real cultivation.
