Dark Blood Age

Chapter 468

Chapter 468

Chu Yunsheng did not know how Xiang Wenxi died. He did not detect any energy movements nor did he feel the spiritual force. He was not even able to react in time. However, Xiang Wenxi indeed died under his eyes.

‘What kind of ability is this?’ Chu Yunsheng was extremely alert. It had been a very long time since the last time he had this type of pressure. It was as if there was a pair of cold eyes staring silently at him in the dark. It made him extremely uncomfortable.

However, he would not be scared away by it. Since it had already progressed to this point, if the people in the dark really wanted to attack him, they would have already done it. And since they didn’t attack him, there was no difference between leaving and staying. Besides, he didn’t even know the real power of the people that were hiding in the dark, and where they were hiding. So where could he go even if he wanted to run away?

Of course, there was another possibility as well. It was that the people in the dark couldn’t do anything to him.

Then he thought about the woman that Xiang Wenxi had talked about before he died. Of course, he did not think that it was that woman, who killed him. If she had that kind of power, she wouldn’t have waited until today. And in terms of the people that were hiding in the dark, even Chu Yunsheng also couldn’t detect their existence. So there was no way that they would be locked up by Xiang Wenxi.

However, even though Chu Yunsheng thought that it was not done by that woman, it definitely had something to do with her. Otherwise, Xiang Wenxi would not be killed when he mentioned her to him.

It could also mean that it had something to do with him as well. Because he was killed when he mentioned the woman to him, not to someone else.

After being threatened by Chu Yunsheng, the assistant officer Xiao Li was forced to take Chu Yunsheng to the secret chamber that was hidden deep inside the fortress.

In the light of oil lamps, a woman with the unmatched beauty, slowly turned around. At that moment, Chu Yunsheng’s body suddenly became stiff, and he almost forgot how to breathe.

What made him lose his composure was not the woman’s beauty, but her face, which had traces of Jing Tian.

Especially her nose and ears. Those areas were the most distinctive facial features of Jing Tian. But if it wasn’t someone that was close to her, they probably wouldn’t notice it.

“Who... are you?” Chu Yunsheng’s voice was shaking.

His rationality told him that the person standing in front of him was definitely not his cousin, Jing Tian. It was not only because of her age, but most importantly the way she looked at him. Eyes were the windows to the soul. However, her indifferent eyes made Chu Yunsheng feel extremely cold.

But the contradictory and unreasonable urge in his mind wanted her to be Jing Tian.

But what the woman said next eliminated Chu Yunsheng’s last glimmer of hope instantly.

“Is that important? Don’t kill any more people. I’ll go with you.”

It was not Jing Tian’s voice, nor was it her tone. Even her expression was totally different. Chu Yunsheng laughed at himself. Clearly, he had already expected this result. However, he still hoped that there were miracles.

But the bitter smile on his face changed instantly in the next second. A slight and almost undetectable movement suddenly appeared in the sixth nerve-like line’s detection radius. Almost at the same time, Chu Yunsheng unleashed a miniature Yuan Qi grab to grab something in the air.

In just a split second, a group of tiny “robots” that couldn’t be seen by the naked eyes were captured and trapped by Chu Yunsheng’s invisible energy fist. They were so small that if Chu Yunsheng, who had the ability to detect movements from the fourth dimension, hadn’t paid attention to them, he wouldn’t have been able to notice them.

After those tiny robots were captured, they began to transform and combine into a small sharp flying machine in a split second. With the blue ripples that were ejected from its back, the flying machine was trying to break free from the invisible Yuan Qi grab.

“So, it is you!” Looking at the tiny transformers-like robots, Chu Yunsheng murmured. In his memory, only the divine realm loved to make this kind of robot.

The death of that deputy fortress master was also probably because of those robots. Only them were able to take the opportunity of the rain outside and the chaos inside the fortress to avoid his detection. However, in terms of how exactly they killed that fortress master, Chu Yunsheng didn’t really know.

“There should be more of them!”

With the power of Inverse Yuan Qi energy, Chu Yunsheng immediately crashed the robot. He then cast out a level three energy shield talisman onto the woman and then began to run out of the fortress while dragging her with him.

This thing clearly was related to this woman, and someone didn’t want him to know the existence of this woman. Maybe that person already knew who he was.

He needed to keep this woman alive. Not only because he wanted to find out who was behind this, but he also needed to find out why she looked like Jing Tian!

This was one of the things that he still cared about. What if...

“Master?” Seeing his master brought out a woman with him, Yu Hanwu asked with confusion.

“Keep eyes on her, I’ll be back in a minute!” As he finished, he instantly dashed out.

At a place not far from him, a young boy, who had a creepy smile on his face, slowly rolled down his sleeves to cover a strange machine in his arm. When he raised his head again, he was no different than other ordinary people around him. He then walked into the chaotic crowd and attempted to leave to place with the panicky crowd of people.

“You think you can get away!” Chu Yunsheng suddenly appeared before him in the rain.

After Chu Yunsheng found the tiny robots, he began to search for more of them in the area. With the help of the sixth nerve-like line, he found this boy very soon.

The surprised expression flashed across the boy’s face in a split second, as he raised his head and looked at Chu Yunsheng. But in the next second the creepy smile appeared on his face again.

It quickly followed by many electronic arcs appearing from his left arm. It spread across his body less than a second. Before Chu Yunsheng was able to stop him and ask him any questions, he was engulfed by the fire that came out of his body. Soon, the boy was burned into ashes without leaving any traces.

The people around them were even more scared. Everyone was screaming and shouting while running everywhere. The strange fire couldn’t even be put out by the rain.

“You really think that death will stop me from finding out what happened?” Looking at the eerie fire, Chu Yunsheng’s eyes were filled with a cold and fierce gleam.

...

When the night fell upon a ruined foggy village, Chu Yunsheng, Yu Hanwu, and that pretty woman, were gathering around a campfire, eating food quietly.

In the dark corner of a scorched building that was far away from them, the sealed monster that looked like a mosquito, was hiding in a secret place, reluctantly guarding the area.

Chu Yunsheng regretted not removing this monster’s consciousness. The monster was too timid. Its absurdly cautious behaviors were even worse than what he used to be.

Being accustomed to the fearless sealed creatures, Chu Yunsheng was speechless every time when he realized how timid the monster was.

Fortunately, the seal mark had absolute control over this monster. Although it was very timid, it still had to do whatever he told it to do.

Chu Yunsheng was still thinking his own things, and Yu Hanwu hadn’t completely come back to himself after the killings. However, no one knew what that woman was thinking. She was curiously looking at those two strange people near her.

The way they ate their food was also different. Chu Yunsheng was eating his food absentmindedly. But from time to time, he would give something that he considered as nutritious to Yu Hanwu. He thought that Yu Hanwu was too weak.

Yu Hanwu was trying to learn everything Chu Yunsheng did, including the way he ate his food. In his mind, his master could do anything. However, the idea that food was precious, was buried deep inside his mind. It could not be changed in a short amount of time. So he couldn’t eat like Chu Yunsheng. Instead, he was slowly eating his food.

On the other hand, the way the woman ate her food was completely different. Or at least, that was how Yu Hanwu thought. In Yu Hanwu’s limited knowledge, he hadn’t seen anyone who could eat their food so elegantly. Especially the pretty women like the woman in front of him.

Amongst three people, Chu Yunsheng was the first one to finish his food. In his rules of survival, time was always the most important. Instead of spending more time eating food, he preferred to spend more time on his cultivation.

“Hurry up finishing your food. After that I need to ask you something,” Chu Yunsheng tried to hold back his complex feelings and said to that woman. His tone was slightly softer now. Perhaps, it was because the girl looked like Jing Tian.

“What do you want to know?” The woman put down the food and asked. She didn’t seem to be scared of him.

“Who are you and where do you come from? Your family’s background and everything about you,” Chu Yunsheng stared into her eyes and said. “I mean no harm, so do not lie.”

He had tried to ask the assistant officer Xiao Li before. However, Xiao Li didn’t know anything about this woman.

“Hmmm. You really don’t know who I am,” the woman suddenly smiled.

“My surname is Yuan. My full name is Yuan Xuejian. I am the daughter of a small fortress master,” she slightly shifted her attention towards the campfire and said slowly.

“Everything started from that day. The day when one person suddenly showed up at our fortress and told my father that his master – the young master of Chu Clan – took a fancy to me. They wanted to send me to Chu Clan. Although my parents were reluctant. They didn’t dare to refuse. Eventually, I had to go with them. However, on the way, they encountered the people from Yun sect... I have heard that they are fighting each other over the world leader position...”

“What’s your mother’s surname? How old are you?” Chu Yunsheng suddenly interrupted her and asked.

“Zhang. And I’m 21 years old,” Yuan Xuejian looked at the old man in confusion. She didn’t know why he wanted to know this.

Chu Yunsheng was staring into her eyes for a long time before he let out a sigh of disappointment.

“You can carry on,” he asked uninterestedly while looking at the campfire.

Yuan Xuejian began to feel that the old man in front of her was even more strange. But she still carried on, “they are fighting over the world leader position.”

“The world leader?” Chu Yunsheng was confused. After twenty years, all the forces on Earth finally united?

Yuan Xuejian nodded her head and said, “since The Cultivation Propagator disappeared, rumor has it that only the world leader will be able to inherit the complete Will of Cambrian!”
