382 Soul Catcher’s Voice! (1/2)
”Patriarch, this is…” The man hesitated for a while, then cast a glance at Madam Ji. The woman might not have revealed her face and had not even said a word, but when she stood there, there was a chilling presence spreading from within her, causing all the people around to feel slightly uncomfortable.
Most of the leaders and powerful Shamans in the tribe standing nearby had heard of Madam Ji and the rumors surrounding that name. Now, when they saw her, all of them were filled with respect towards her.
”It’s fine. You can just speak.” A cold and dark look appeared in the eyes of the Patriarch of Black Crane Tribe.
The tribe leader of Black Crane struggled up his feet. Enduring the intense pain, he spoke of everything that had happened from start to finish, but he did not mention the change in the sky a few days prior.
”I’m not his opponent. Madam Ji, please help us.” Once the man finished speaking, he struggled to move and bow to that woman.
A barely noticeable glint appeared in the eyes of the old man dressed in the robe made of black feathers. He was, after all, familiar with the man and could see that something was off, but he did not expose him.
Instead, he narrowed his eyes. He knew that the man could be considered quite careful and would not speak without thinking. If he was almost pleading Madam Ji to act right before his face, then it was clear that the tribe leader believed that even if the old man went himself, he was not the outsider’s opponent.
”Madam Ji, about this… could you please attack him?” The old man gritted his teeth. If it had been any other of his tribesmen saying this, he might not have believed them, but this man was Black Crane Tribe’s current tribe leader. It was impossible for the old man to not believe him.
”Is that person a Latter Shaman?” Madam Ji suddenly asked.
”He’s not a Latter Shaman. Of this, I am certain!” The man quickly asserted.
”If you’re wrong, then I will make the entire Black Crane Tribe die with you! A person’s life is two thousand Shaman Crystals. If it’s two people, four thousand! There’s also what we promised before. All White Bull Tribe’s Shaman Crystals and their sacred items will belong to me once you break the seals on those items!” The woman in the bamboo hat spoke with a shrill voice, and when she spoke, all those who heard her words felt their hearts and minds tremble.
The Patriarch of Black Crane Tribe felt his heart ache tremendously at the thought. He hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the man’s firm gaze, he knew that there was definitely something off in this matter, which was why he gritted his teeth and nodded.
”Thank you, Madam Ji, once this is finished, I will give you the remaining 2,000 Shaman Crystals.”
”I don’t mind if you don’t give it to me.” Madam Ji chuckled, and her chuckles were equally sharp and piercing to the ears.
”I wouldn’t dare to.” The old man quickly wrapped his fist in his palm to her.
”I’ll heal your leg. It’s free.”
Madam Ji lifted her right hand and pointed it at the man’s right leg. Immediately, the whiskers of one of the multicolored scorpions on her robe moved and started swimming about before crawling up her arm to charge straight towards the man’s right leg. The man shuddered, and the multicolored scorpion bit through his flesh and crawled into his body.
This pain made the man tremble from head to toe. He wanted to endure through it, but in the end, he could not; he let out a shrill scream of pain before falling to his side. Right when the faces of all the Black Crane tribe members drastically changed, rumbling sounds came from the tribe leader’s right leg, and his torn flesh started healing rapidly. After some time, his entire right leg was healed, and not a single wound could be seen.
However, there was a picture of a scorpion shining on his right leg.
With a pale face, the man stood up, and his gaze when he looked at Madam Ji was filled with terror as he wrapped his fist in his palm to bow towards her.
”Thank… Thank you, Madam Ji.”
”You don’t have to thank me. Your flesh and blood can provide my baby seven days of food. If you can’t bring out the Shaman Crystals after seven days…” Madam Ji started laughing shrilly.
The entire area was silent, only her laughter could be heard echoing in the air.
”Your leg has healed now, please lead the way.” Once Madam Ji finished speaking, she demanded with that sharp voice of hers.
”Madam Ji, do you want to rest for a while? We can still go tomorrow morning…” The Patriarch of Black Crane Tribe quickly spoke. He still had some things he wanted to talk about in detail with the tribe leader.
”I don’t need to rest. I’ll just be killing two people. It’s not too late if I rest after I come back.”
Madam Ji waved her arm and instantly flew up. She pointed at the tribe leader of Black Crane with her right hand, and without his control, the man’s right leg leapt into the air, bringing along his entire body. He only managed to turn his head back and cast a deep look at the Patriarch before he turned into a long arc and followed behind Madam Ji. In the blink of an eye, the two of them disappeared into the horizon.
Only when Madam Ji left did the Patriarch of Black Crane Tribe’s face turn completely dark. He turned around and swept his gaze past his tribesmen gathered around him.
