Chapter 232: Blood Sea Sect (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It shouldn’t be a problem for ordinary cultivators to break through a stage in a month in a place like this.
The benefits of this spirit cave to cultivators were truly astonishing!
“The Cloud Dragon Rhythm still lacks three Perfection movement techniques. I should be able to break through in three to four days.”
Lin Shen pondered for a moment and looked outside the cave.
“However, I’ve dealt with most of the Earth Essence within a 3,000-meter radius. It’s time to change to another place.”
Lin Shen took out the map and swept his gaze across it. Soon, he found the second location where many spirit monsters were.
It was about seven to eight kilometers away.
“I’ll go here!”
Lin Shen made a prompt decision. He retracted his clones and left the cave, using the Riding Wind Technique to rush toward his destination.
Halfway there, Lin Shen suddenly saw a figure from the corner of his eye. He turned around and couldn’t help but stop.
A corpse was lying on a rock pillar a hundred meters away!
When he got closer, he saw that the face looked familiar. It was one of the disciples from the lower house who had entered the spirit cave with him.
Lin Shen narrowed his eyes and looked around warily. After finding nothing abnormal, he carefully approached the corpse.
The corpse’s skin was deathly pale, without the slightest trace of blood. It was as if all the blood in its body had been sucked dry, and there was still a terrified expression on its face.
Lin Shen studied it for a moment and took out a guiding talisman. After activating it, he threw it at the corpse. As expected, he found a residual evil aura on it.
His expression became even more solemn.
The spirit monsters in the spirit cave were naturally formed and not evil.
If this disciple had died at the hands of a spirit monster, there shouldn’t have been any evil aura left on his corpse.
It was impossible for such a place with abundant spiritual essence to have evil creatures.
Then, the answer was obvious.
This person was killed by another human being.
But what Lin Shen couldn’t understand was who would use an evil spell to kill this disciple of the lower house.
PengJunqin?
No, that was impossible!
No matter how dissatisfied Peng Junqin was with Xie Jingsheng, he wouldn’t have vented his anger on other academy disciples.
He wouldn’t have done such a serious thing as if he had lost his mind.
Moreover, Peng Junqin came from a preeminent family and was an orthodox disciple. He shouldn’t know any evil spells.
But if that wasn’t the case, who did it?
Someone other than them and Peng Junqin?
Lin Shen shook his head again.
They were the first batch of disciples to enter the spirit cave. If there were others in the spirit cave, why would the sect hide it from them?
Why would they kill their own people?
He only became more perplexed, so he stopped hesitating and stood up.
No matter what, an accident must have happened to the academy disciples who entered the spirit cave.
After all, Lin Shen was a member of the academy. He couldn’t stay out of it.
Lin Shen took out the token that Xie Jingsheng had given him from his storage ring. He focused his senses, and his expression quickly changed.
“It’s not far. It’s quite close.”
Without any delay, Lin Shen flew in the direction he had sensed.
Not long after, there was a commotion in the distance.
Lin Shen’s eyes flickered, and he picked up his speed.
As he got closer, the voice gradually became clearer. It was the sound of a battle, mixed with the conversation of a man and a woman.
After turning around a rock wall, the sound suddenly became clear, and there was the scene of the battle.
In a slightly sunken clearing, Ai Jingting was bearing standing. Her beautiful face was pale, and her snow-white dress was stained with blood.
Beside her feet lay a man.
From his appearance and clothes, he was also one of the disciples from the lower house who had entered with Lin Shen.
Only, right now, he wasn’t moving at all. He made no sound and was probably dead.
Ai Jingting was holding a half-meter-tall green tree. Its leaves were lush and green.
There were many fruits in the tree crown. They were only the size of a thumb. They looked colorful and bright.
A dense green light dissipated from the green tree, turning into a light barrier with a radius of two meters, enveloping Ai Jingting and the disciples on the ground.
The light barrier seemed thin, but it was abnormally sturdy. No matter how the two people in front of him attacked, it remained unaffected.
The two people attacking the light barrier were a man and a woman, both in their mid-20s.
The man’s face was thin, and he was wearing a black robe. His long and narrow eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake as he kept looking at Ai Jingting.
The woman was wearing a revealing dress, showing her snow-white stomach and limbs. Her chest was full, and her expression was flirtatious. She emitted a bewitching aura.
The woman held a blood-colored whip and kept whipping the light shield while giggling.
“I advise you to surrender quickly. Your companions are all dead. No one can save you. Why struggle? If you surrender obediently, you can suffer less!”
The man nodded and smiled sinisterly.
“Although this treasure of yours is powerful, you’re only at the Long Breath Stage. You can only last for another fifteen minutes at most. After that, you’ll still suffer a crushing defeat. Why don’t you obey me? Not only will 1 not kill you, but I’ll also let you experience unprecedented bliss!”
As he spoke, the man kept eyeing Ai Jingting. Greed flashed in his eyes.
Hearing the desire in the man’s tone, the woman immediately frowned in dissatisfaction.
“Senior Brother, you said that you would turn these two into blood souls for me. Are you going back on your word?”
The man smiled awkwardly and said, “Junior Sister, the person on the ground is yours. However, this woman is beautiful. It’s a pity to use her to refine the blood soul. Leave her to me..”
