Chapter 217: Chapter 217 Blood Tiger
Instantly, the demon disciples were surprised looking at the bloodstones that suddenly disappeared from Lin Lee's hands.
'Space storage; this senior has a deep background,' they thought, and then invited Lin Lee to follow them to the sect mountain.
Lin Lee nodded and then flew toward the sect mountain, seeing all of these disciples flying with strange blood-shaped wings made from pure blood energy behind their backs.
'Demons can rely on blood energy to increase their strength; that's why bloodstones are the main resources in this realm, but these bloodstones are strange; why are they sharing a strange connection with me?'
Lin Lee thought to himself and then decided to find out everything about the bloodstones after reaching the sect.
…
Inside the sect mountain,
'I can feel the cause thread directing at that cave,' Lin Lee thought to himself, looking at a dark red huge cave hole with red veins spreading around it.
"What is that place? Who is inside it?" Lin Lee asked, looking at the cave opening,
"Oh that, it's the bloodstone vein; inside it are those captives and slaves mining the bloodstone." Instantly one of the demon disciples glanced at the cave and replied with a surprise expression on his face; he didn't expect Lin Lee to be unaware of bloodstone veins.
Lin Lee nodded, and then following them, he crossed the whole mountain. He also saw other similar cave openings known as bloodstone mines, as well as red thorny trees, black grasses, and other strange-shaped plant species known as blood plants.
'Blood is running through this whole realm; what's the secret behind it?' Lin Lee thought to himself, observing everything around; he can feel a strange blood energy mixed in the heaven and earth energy of this whole realm; even negative laws like killing, chaos, evil, corruption, and curses are clearly visible as if watching with naked eyes.
Finally, they landed beside a huge, dark tower near the top of the mountain.
"Our sect is known as the Blood Demon Sect; it's a top sect in Blood River Prefecture." Instantly, one of the inner disciples introduced the sect and surrounding areas.
Lin Lee nodded thoughtfully while they all walked inside the tower.
"Hello Zi Nan, record these bloodstones; we have completed the task." One of the demon disciples greeted and walked toward the main desk and spoke to the demon disciple standing on the other side. After being putted in the dark, weird bag filled with bloodstones on the table,
"Your task is completed; you will receive your reward, which is fifty percent of these bloodstones, and fifty percent will be kept by the sect." Zi Nan glanced at the bag and then inserted his blood mana inside the dark token; blood veins spread above it.
"What else?" Zi Nan asked, looking at them still standing in front of him,
"There is another thing; this senior here is a true demon; he wants to pass the inner sect trial and join the inner sect." One of the demon disciples pointed at Lin Lee and spoke seriously.
"True demon, it's amazing; please follow me." Zi Nan was startled; a flattering smile appeared on his face looking at Lin Lee, and then he nodded and walked toward the back side of the building through the back door, passing through a long corridor.
After a while, they stopped near the cliff edge on the back side of the tower.
"Except true demon, no one can pass this trial and reach the inner sect," Zi Nan spoke and then pointed at the cliff on the other side, which is the cliff edge leading to the top of the mountain.
Lin Lee nodded and then walked forward, standing at the edge of the steep cliff, looking at dense red fog with purple lightning below. 'So there is a high suppression zone created around the top area of the mountain; below true immortals and demons, no one can pass this area.'
Lin Lee then turned around and glanced at the outer sect demon disciples, and Zi Nan nodded in their direction. His figure flashed with a blue light. Next moment, amidst the surprised expression of the demon disciple, a long blue beam appeared and reached the other side of the cliff.
They fell into a daze looking at Lin Lee, who landed calmly on the cliff and then walked toward the dark demon tower on the other side.
"It seems the formation stopped working; should we also jump and fly toward the other side, we may become inner disciples." Instantly, one of the demon disciples asked suspiciously,
Zi Nan shook his head and replied, "Don't be fooled by him or you will die; that senior is a very strong true demon, probably a top bloodline running through his veins; we are just mere great demons with impure blood; it's impossible for us to cross this area so easily like him, even if we became the true demons." After speaking, he glanced at the Lin Lee back receding inside the tower on the other side deeply and then turned around and walked back toward the tower.
Other demon disciples also followed him, shaking their heads in pity and regret.
…
Meanwhile, Lin Lee walked inside the tower, looking at the true demon sitting at the desk. 'It's really the inner sect true demon right of the bat,' he thought, and then walked toward the desk.
"Oh, another disciple passed the trial; welcome to the inner sect; my name is Hu Jin; wait for a while; here's your uniform, identity token, room key, and storage ring; you can find the resident area on the left side of this mountain."
Instantly the true demon disciple opened his eyes, glanced at Lin Lee, congratulated lazily, and then waved his hand. Three items appeared on the desk with red energy flickering above them, then he closed his eyes again.
Lin Lee didn't care about his lazy gestures; he nodded and put away the uniform and other items. Then he walked out from the back side of the tower, his clothes already changed into an inner sect uniform.
Looking at a lot of dark courtyards, Lin Lee glanced at the key number, then he walked toward the empty courtyard with no blood energy. It is located at the edge of courtyards near the top area of the mountain. After opening the gate, he walked inside.
Just as he was about to enter, a few footsteps sounded from behind him.
"Are you a newbie? Our young master awarded this courtyard to us; you can leave." Instantly the figure spoke, looking at the courtyard with bright eyes, then their expression became cold looking at Lin Lee.
"Ohh, who is your young master?" Lin Lee asked, glanced at the five people with true demon fluctuation, and walked outside and appeared in front of them.
"Our young master is from the Blood Tiger clan; be careful or you won't be able to walk inside the inner sect," the true demon threatened coldly, seeing Lin Lee's confident and unafraid expression.
"I challenge your young master to a life and death duel; tell him if he is true blood tiger son, then appear on the life and death stage tomorrow." Lin Lee spoke playfully, looking at the demons in front of him.
Instantly, their faces changed and sank completely. "Ha ha ha, you are looking for death; the young master will tear you into pieces with his claws." One of them laughed and spoke mockingly, and then all of them turned around and walked away.
Lin Lee glanced at their back and shook his head. 'Blood Tiger Clan, it's probably Hu Jin in the inner sect tower, or they wouldn't appear so soon in front of me.'
"Newbie, you are really brave; you should have known about the Blood Tiger clan before challenging the third-strongest true demon in the inner sect." A burly demon spoke, standing near the courtyard beside him.
Lin Lee glanced at his scaly face and tall figure with a muscular red body and green veins spreading through his whole body surface; that looks like some veins inside a hard rock statue.
"Blood tiger will surely know about me tomorrow," Lin Lee shook his head and replied expressionlessly.
A surprise flashed through the demon eyes in front of him, and then he shook his head and said, looking at Lin Lee, "Confidence is good, but in front of horror, only confidence is not enough."
"You are afraid of that young master of the blood tiger clan?" Lin Lee asked suddenly, looking at him calmly,
"Ha ha ha." Instantly the demon started laughing in front of him, then he replied with a crazy smile on his face, "Why would I be afraid of that big cat?"
"It seems I can't believe your words; for now I would assume you are afraid of him, because I can also see just simple confidence on your face. Also, I don't understand why there are so many overconfident idiots in this sect."
Lin Lee replied, and then turned around and walked inside, leaving the demon speechless behind.
