Chapter 228 - Turned Into Dust
“You mean to say that a four meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivator and a Golden Core spirit demon actually died in the hands of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator despite their combined efforts, hmm?”
The Blood Crow Palace’s Lord looked at Peng Fei as his green eyes sparkled. Even though his tone was calm, it exuded an inexplicable coldness.
“With so many people, it was supposed to be a one-sided massacre. None of the people from Dongling Valley should have been able to escape! But, what happened, hmm?”
Against the questioning of the Palace Lord, Peng Fei and the others lowered their heads and no one dared to reply.
The air seemed to be frozen and layered with a murderous intent.
The Palace Lord exuded a terrifying aura of authority that was impossible to resist.
At that moment, all the cultivators of Blood Crow Palace that were kneeling down felt that they were insignificantly small in the face of the Palace Lord, as though they were facing a divine god!
“I can understand if it was a Golden Core who had managed to escape. But, how did a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator manage to escape despite being surrounded by so many people, hmm?”
That surging bloodline contained endless flashes of lightning mixed with dull, resounding sounds of thunder that made one’s heart rattle!
The stomach of the Green Armored Crocodile was filled with demonic qi so thick that it almost materialized.
All of those demonic qi were produced through Su Zimo’s cultivation.
To its shock, the Green Armored Crocodile discovered that its body was also improving under the tempering of that demonic qi!
“To think that this was a demon beast with a core. I was truly mistaken.”
The Green Armored Crocodile thought that Su Zimo was a demon beast with a core that had merely taken on a human form.
After some time, Su Zimo opened his eyes. Filled with a bedazzling, divine light, it was like a shooting star streaking through the dark night!
Su Zimo’s robes around his chest area moved and a little head popped out, peering with its bright and pitch black eyes that were filled with spirit.
The man and beast looked at one another and Su Zimo smiled.
It was always a joyous event for one to survive a disaster.
After refining the demon beast Inner Core, Su Zimo made progress on the Organs Refinement section as well.
Although there was still a long way to go before attaining greater mastery, it was already not easy for him to get to this stage.
“I wonder if little fatty, Leng Rou and the others managed to escape. How are Peak Master Wen Xuan and Elder Yu doing now?”
The thought of everyone from Ethereal Peak had Su Zimo sighing inwardly.
Till now, they did not know the background of the faction that attacked them at Dongling Valley.
However, it was clear that the other party was prepared.
On the one hand, the battle of Dongling Valley was for revenge.
After all, it was Su Zimo who killed all the cultivators from this faction outside Linfeng City.
However, the greatest possibility was that the other party was doing it for the sect competition!
In the sect competition, there would be ranking rolls for spirit, elixir, talisman and weapon refinement. Only the top 10 of each roll had the rights to enter the ancient battlefield.
Even though the ancient battlefield was extremely dangerous, it was extremely important for every single Foundation Establishment Cultivator!
With danger came opportunities.
In every single sect competition, Ethereal Sect would occupy the most number of spots for the spirit ranking. At the minimum, they occupied three spots.
Now that all three legacy disciples of Ethereal Peak were gathered, what would it imply if the blood-robed youth had managed to turn them all into his blood slave and have them under his control?
That would mean that the blood-robed youth would have gained three spots at the very least for the sect competition!
Given his own strength as a four meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the blood-robed youth would have been able to occupy another spot.
That was a total of four spots!
If the blood-robed cultivator enslaved a few more powerful meridian cultivators, the spirit ranking roll would most likely be filled with his men!
In fact, that was also what the Blood Crow Palace’s Lord wanted.
It was to ensure the young master’s safety in the ancient battlefield!
Unfortunately, all those plans had turned into dust.
Before he could die on the ancient battlefield, the Blood Crow young master had already perished outside.
