Chapter 296: Catching a turtle in a jar (2/2)
The battle was still going on. Black Cauldron Sect held the upper hand and slowly controlled the situation. But at this time, many started to notice that the expert beside them had disappeared, but they just thought that they had either left because of some matter or had gone to chase after the disciples of Five Style Sect that were putting up a desperate struggle. The overwhelming majority of people who had disappeared were elite disciples or commanders.
When all was said and done, the situation of Five Style Sect was chaotic, so in the beginning, no one suspected. But, after a while, some people suddenly discovered the corpse of disappeared experts in thickets, corners formed by two walls, stone cracks and so on concealed places. This matter was serious, so this news was quickly transmitted to Sect Master Tuoba Xiong. The old man Dark Underworld Emissary and Tuoba Xiong personally went over and carefully examined the corpse of those elite experts.
“Their heart is penetrated, this is the wound created by some kind of sharp weapon. It doesn’t resemble the wound from a sharp sword and also not from an arrow. Not even a drop of blood is left inside the corpse, even the flesh is withered.”
Tuoba Xiong carefully examined the wound of a corpse without any expression. As for his guards standing behind him, each and every one were terrified and their hair stood on end.
The corpse fallen on the ground had clearly died not long ago, but it resembled a withered corpse of several hundred years ago. They couldn’t see even a drop of blood on the ground, but the corpse didn’t even have a drop of blood left, what did this explain.
Blood-sucking evil spirit.
Inside Five Style Sect, there was a terrifying blood-sucking evil spirit that could vanish without a trace. Perhaps, after smelling the smell of blood, it came out from the depth of Cloud Mist Mountain Range, or perhaps, it was sealed within Five Style Sect, and the guards of Five Style Sect, seeing they had nowhere to hide from the massacre of Black Cauldron Sect, they simply undid the seal releasing this blood-sucking evil spirit to perish together.
“Blood-sucking evil spirit, it is definitely a blood-sucking evil spirit.”
“The Sect Master of Five Style Sect has disappeared without a trace, it is said that he had disappeared after a restriction of paradise realm had engulfed him, but could it be that he had actually changed into a blood-sucking evil spirit and Five Style Sect just blocked this information?”
…………….
More and more disciples of Black Cauldron Sect rushed over after hearing this news and they talked in whispered pointing at that corpse. The more they talked the more outrageous it became, everyone became terrified and nervous.
“Your Excellency Emissary, what do you think?” Tuoba Xiong stood up and asked Dark Underworld Emissary standing beside him with a gloomy expression.
He had conquered Five Style Sect with great difficulty and was about to control the overall situation, but suddenly such a thing appeared. This was a huge blow to Black Cauldron Sect.
Dark Underworld Emissary didn’t speak, he just closed his eyes to sense something. After a good while, he suddenly opened his eyes and looking outside layer upon layer of mountain peaks, he looked towards the faint light red screen shrouding the entire Five Style Sect and said, “Your Excellency Sect Master, the activation of the main gate restriction of Five Style Sect, was that under your order?”
After unforeseen events occurred in succession, masked black robed Dark Underworld Emissary finally sensed the abnormality of this light screen. Then, his eyes emitted pallid light.
“No, but wasn’t that activated by the disciple left behind there? What does this……”
Tuoba Xiong shook his head and just when he was about to say there was nothing strange, he suddenly felt cold in his heart.
If one wanted to activate the main gate restriction, then one needed a lot of energy along with the great understanding of the restriction of Five Style Sect. Even if he personally want to activate this restriction, it would take time and energy. As for those dozen or so disciples who had stayed behind, all of them were average people, the one with the highest cultivation base was also only Rank 7 Xiushi realm. How could they do this?
Big matter, this was a big matter.
Tuoba Xiong and Dark Underworld Emissary looked at each other without uttering a single word, then they coincidentally rushed towards the main gate at the same time.
