Su Yuan sheathed his long sword, and the Heavenly Lock behind him flew back to his feet.
He activated his Far-Sighted ability and swept his gaze towards every location in the forest where Star Power fluctuations were emanating from.
They were all emotionless doppelgangers, including one on the Hundred Origin Sect’s side.
Su Yuan turned his head to look at the Bodhi Tree that seemed to block the way out. Escaping was not impossible.
However…
“Since you are courting death, don’t blame me for what happens next.”
A cold glint appeared in Su Yuan’s eyes. With a wave of his hand, Ashley appeared by his side.
The bizarre thing was, Ashley was wearing pajamas adorned with a Slime pattern from who-knows-where.
???
“Boss,” Ashley said softly.
Su Yuan’s expression grew stiff but he didn’t say much.
“Ashley, locate his true body.”
“Yes,” Ashley responded. A large area of Holy Light surrounded her as the Destiny Star Track spun rapidly in her eyes.
It didn’t take long for Ashley to blink and stop.
“Boss, he’s about to reach the shore.”
“Is that so?” Su Yuan glanced in the direction, “In that case, leave it to the Demon Soul, but those others…”
Su Yuan looked toward the Hundred Origin Sect, waved his hand to retract Ashley, and with a flicker, disappeared from the spot…
By the shore, in front of a large ship.
Sensing the faint sounds of screams and battle from within the forest, the people remaining were filled with suspicion and tension.
“Why don’t we just take the ship back?” a thirty-something woman in green robes suddenly suggested.
“Yes, let’s head back! Clearly, something is wrong inside, and there’s an ambush!”
Liu Xiao, staying behind with a few people at the big ship, hesitated upon hearing this. Lv Han had not returned yet.
“Let’s wait a bit longer!” Liu Xiao said gravely.
“Wait for what?” The green-robed woman exclaimed excitedly, “If we stay, we’ll all die! Don’t worry, you’ll still get your ticket!”
A nearby fat man immediately agreed, “I’ll pay double…no, triple the Star Stone! Now, let’s return right away!”
“This…”
Liu Xiao was about to say something more when another scream echoed not far away.
There was no doubt. It was the last of the two departing groups!
“Alright, let’s go. If you want to leave, follow me!” Liu Xiao gritted his teeth.
Sorry, Captain Lv. I’ll keep the ship at the shore. If it’s really nothing, we can come back to get you!
With that thought, Liu Xiao led a few subordinates to the shore. The remaining people had no better ideas and followed.
In situations like this, survival naturally took precedence!
The green-robed woman and the fat man, particularly, followed Liu Xiao excitedly.
Barely had Liu Xiao’s group boarded the ship when a colossal bloody hand descended from the sky like a pillar!
“Watch out from above!” A skinny youth from the teahouse trio exclaimed, pulling two others to retreat.
Hearing this, Liu Xiao and the others looked up, their pupils contracting sharply.
“Boom!!”
With a loud explosion, the ship capable of withstanding the simultaneous attack of a dozen Shining Star Levels shattered like a toy block under the bloody giant hand!
Liu Xiao, his subordinates, even the fat man who had boarded the ship, were instantly blown into a mist of blood!
However, the green-robed woman showed some strength and luck, avoiding an instant death.
But as the ship exploded, she was flung into the Black River.
“No, no, I’m out of strength, help me! Gurgle… save…”
She stared in terror at the people on the shore, but after a few weak flails, sank beneath the surface, silent…
“What just happened?!”
The remaining people onshore were horrified, looking around nervously. Soon, they noticed a Blood Robed Youth floating midair.
The towering bloody arm that demolished the ship disintegrated, reforming into trails of blood flying back into the Blood Robed Youth.
“Is he the demon… the Demon Cultivator hired by the Hundred Origin Sect?!”
The burly young man from the teahouse trio turned pale, stammering.
Demon Cultivators differed from “Demon Sect” members.
Demon Sect members followed the law of the jungle. Many cultivated Demon Path techniques that harmed others for personal gain but adhered to certain rules and limits.
