Chapter 215 - Trap
“Oh?”
Wen Xuan’s expression changed as he looked to the direction of the incoming black clouds with a narrowed gaze.
When Su Zimo saw the black clouds, he frowned and felt a sense of déjà vu.
The black clouds were moving at an extremely fast speed and shimmered with sinister red lights. They did not seem like clouds, but rather…
“Spirit mine, blood-eyed crows!”
The so-called black clouds were actually countless crows surging over!
Those red lights were the eyes of the crows!
Su Zimo recalled the battle outside of Linfeng City and said in a deep voice, “Everyone, be careful. They are the people from the spirit mine outside Linfeng City!”
The blood robed cultivator smiled faintly. “You may address me as Young Master or Master. It’s up to you, I won’t force you.”
Elder Yu’s expression turned terrible.
Be it Young Master or Master, it implied that he had to submit to this blood robed cultivator!
Elder Yu was a Golden Core after all and there was no way he would accede to such a ridiculous request.
“Junior, this place is less than fifty kilometers from Ethereal Sect. If I were to send a message using my spirit crane, it won’t be long before our sect sends reinforcements! Don’t get cocky now!” Elder Yu said with a deep voice.
“Hahahaha!”
The blood robed cultivator burst out into laughter. “Old dog, I tried to give you face but you’re trying to throw it away?”
“First, with my blood crow army, your spirit crane is never going to be sent out! Second, even if you manage to send out a spirit crane, you guys are not going to last long enough!”
Wen Xuan harrumphed coldly. “Elder Yu, there’s no need to waste your breath on him. Since they’re from a fiend sect, all of them shall be punished!”
“We’re not from the fiend sects.”
The blood robed cultivator laughed coldly. “I’ll give you one last chance. Submit to me and I’ll spare your lives. Otherwise, all of you shall be killed without mercy! No one will be spared!”
“Oh, right. There’s someone named Su Zimo among you guys. Whether or not you submit to me, I’ll suppress you personally and torture you to death bit by bit… hehehehe!”
The blood robed cultivator let out a series of sinister laughter.
“Submit?”
Wen Xuan smiled as well. “Ask for permission from the sword in my hand first!”
Right then, the blood robed cultivator raised his head suddenly and said calmly, “What are you waiting for?”
Before he could finish his sentence, Su Zimo was alarmed and yelled, “Everyone, disperse! There’s spies in the sect!”
Wen Xuan was the first to react and crushed the protection talisman in his left hand immediately.
A barrier of light instantly rose and enveloped him.
Clang!
There was a crisp sound.
Sparks flew everywhere.
A flying sword struck Wen Xuan’s protective barrier, causing it to tremble and nearly collapse – it was clear how strong that attack was!
It was a mere centimeter gap!
If Wen Xuan had been slightly slower, he would have been a dead man.
In fact, the reason why Wen Xuan was the first to react was because of Su Zimo’s question earlier on the spirit vessel.
At that time, Wen Xuan wasn’t bothered about it.
However, when he saw the arrival of such powerful forces along with a trap as such laid out, Wen Xuan vaguely realized that there might be spies in the sect and became wary.
Otherwise, there was no way their trip to Dongling Valley today could be leaked out.
Of course, the conjecture was a little vague and Wen Xuan did not have time to verify it.
Right at the moment when the blood robed cultivator said that sentence along with Su Zimo’s yell, Wen Xuan crushed his protection talisman without a second thought.
When he sensed the terrifying attack behind him, Wen Xuan understood that he had just walked by the gates of hell and could not help but break out in cold sweat.
