The Story Never Ends

Chapter 75 - Farewell To The Sect

"The Devil Summoning Art," he whispered.

"This Art looks really powerful. The Sect Master summoned a Lion that was so strong that even the three elders were struggling with it. So, I have always wanted to try it."

After unfurling it, he looked through it thoroughly.

"So, it is like this."

He finally understood this art and what the Sect Master meant by you can only learn this after knowing the Devil Language.

This Art was completely different from the spiritual arts that he had learned previously. You had to chant the various symbols written in the scroll and a small crack would be created in the space that would lead to the Devil World. After doing this, you had to channel your Qi through that crack which would slowly proceed towards the Devil World and the Devils inside there would be able to sense it and respond to you.

The more you spend, the more powerful you could summon. So, the Qi only acted as a medium by which you could communicate. This is the reason why this Art was totally different from the one he had learned before. The most troublesome part of this art was the chant.

As a result, this art could not be recorded by the Panel.

"Should I try to summon it here?"

"No, how could I be so dumb?"

Davion slapped his face and thought, "The Sect Master could already summon such a strong lion with his Qi. But what would happen if I tried to summon it? The quality of my spiritual energy is already better than the Sect Master and I am much stronger than him."

"So, the thing I summoned might be even more powerful than that. It would be dangerous if I try here."

"But what if I only send a small part of my Qi and try to summon a weak Devil here?"

He thought for some time and didn't do it. "According to the scroll, the connection between the two worlds is too weak. Due to which one can only try summoning once a day. Maybe I might fall into trouble today and need it immediately."

"It is better to be careful." He then stood up and looked outside the window. He could see the sun about to rise.

"Maybe I should leave now. But before that, there is still one thing I should do." He took out the mask from his ring and left through the window.

In the forest where the battle took place, Thaddeus was slowly walking towards Lilium city with Hendrix, Isla, and the city boy following behind him. As Hendrix and Isla were seriously injured, they could not leave straight away. So, they hid nearby at night and only left towards the city after the sun rose.

During this time, he had managed to recover some of his Qi. So, he was moving in the front while checking the surroundings with his senses while looking calm but deep down he was very puzzled. He couldn't believe that the elders would let him escape this easily.

"Did something happen that made them stop?"

While he was pondering, he sensed something that made his hairs stand up. He saw a corpse who was wearing red robes lying near a tree.

"Stop!" He ordered them and went to check the corpse. When he got near, he managed to identify whose corpse it was.

"This.." his voice got stuck and couldn't believe it.

"How? Who managed to do it? It looks like someone pierced his heart."

"This place is still dangerous. I should make sure it is safe ahead."

Then he approached his disciples with a solemn look.

"Sect Master, did something happen?" Isla was the first one to ask.

"I found the dead body of the elder of the Blood Saber Sect. Someone more dangerous than him might be lurking around here. You guys keep an eye on here. I will go and check." Without waiting for their answers, he left and used his senses to check if everything was all right.

"Will Sect Master be ok?" Isla looked worried.

"Hope so. Let's keep an eye over here as the Sect Master said. We can't be careless." Hendrix was feeling uneasy.

"I will go over there and take a look. You can stay over here," he said while pointing his index finger in a certain direction.

He reached there and was scrutinizing the surroundings when he suddenly saw a masked man appearing infront of him right out of nowhere.

"I.."

He was about to shout out loud when suddenly he saw the man throwing something at him. His body instinctively reacted and caught it. But he still managed to yell, "Help!"

Listening to the voice, Isla was the first one to rush here. But before she could reach here, the man had already left in the blink of an eye and he could only hear his calm voice.

"The Sect depends upon you. Make sure you work hard."

He stood there petrified and slowly looked at the thing in his hand. It was a space ring. Before he could check it, he heard Isla's voice from the back.

"What happened? Did you see someone?"

"Eh!" He hid the ring and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"No, I thought I saw someone over there. But it looks like I got mistaken. I might still be dizzy from yesterday's injury," he replied while scratching his hair.

"Ok, then we should return back if you are not feeling well. Let's just watch over there," Isla turned back.

Hendrix glanced at Isla's back and then took out the ring. When he looked inside, he had tears in his eyes. There was a spiritual dagger, a couple of Qi refining pills, and some spirit stones. He thought that he had heard that voice somewhere. But now seeing this dagger, he was sure that it was his Junior Brother.

"I will definitely work hard, Junior Brother."

"Thank you!" he wiped his tears and followed behind Isla.

Somewhere far away, Davion was rushing towards a certain direction while smiling, "This is my farewell gift to the Sect and the Sect Master."
