Chapter 787: Chapter 788: Luring the Snake out of Its Hole! (2 more updates)

Rock Castle, within the Blood God Sect Headquarters.

Under the lead of the two Blood God Sect High Priests, Ling Feng quickly arrived at a secret chamber.

Inside the chamber wafted an extraordinarily pungent odor. In the center of the room was a round pool, its water ink-green and bubbling continuously, as if it were boiling.

That unbearable stench originated from this very pool.

Near the pool stood a stone table, upon which lay many spherical materials intended for crafting Blood Soul Pearls—apparently still incomplete.

"This is the place."

Ling Feng’s eyebrows furrowed slightly; this was where the Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch refined Blood Soul Pearls. If he could decipher the true nature of that ink-green Poison Pond, he might then find a way to neutralize the toxins within those Blood Spirit Corpses, allowing them to wake up once again.

"Young... Young Master, I’ve told you everything I know, I beg for your mercy, please... please don’t kill me..."

The High Priest saw Ling Feng’s knitted brows and couldn’t help breaking out in a cold sweat. His Dantian was still sealed, and for Ling Feng to kill him would be simpler than crushing an ant.

"What I have promised, I will honor."

Ling Feng took out a Jade Bottle from his Spirit Storage Ring and carefully filled it with liquid from the Poison Pond. He then invoked the Third Rank Swallowing Flame within him, incinerating the Poison Pond and everything around it in an instant.

These harmful things didn’t deserve to remain!

Afterward, Ling Feng found a hemp rope within the City Lord Mansion, tied up the High Priest and the other protector together, and then returned along the same path with Tuoba Yan.

"Big brother, you’re finally out!"

When Ling Feng and his party reached the entrance of the Earth Castle, they saw Jiang Xiaofan and others fighting against a group of Blood Spirit Corpses. It seemed due to the howls of the high-level Blood Spirit Corpses, the surrounding Blood Spirit Corpses had all risen in revolt, continuously swarming towards the City Lord Mansion. Jiang Xiaofan and the others had no choice but to fight desperately, hoping Ling Feng’s group would emerge soon.

"Indeed, we’re out."

Ling Feng chopped down a row of Blood Spirit Corpses rushing to the forefront with his sword and then turned and glared at the High Priest, commanding with a cold voice, "Order these Blood Spirit Corpses to fall back immediately!"

"Young... Young Master, I... I don’t want to disobey, but only those Blood Spirit Corpses of the Fourth Rank and above can be controlled by me. These low-level Blood Spirit Corpses can only be controlled by high-level Blood Spirit Corpses, and just now you have... you’ve wiped out all the high-rank ones inside, I... I am powerless."

The High Priest was dripping with cold sweat, trembling with fear of provoking the wrath of this Evil God, Ling Feng, who might take his life on a whim.

Ling Feng’s gaze turned icy, realizing the High Priest’s fear-stricken, ashen face wasn’t lying. He could only huff and speak sternly, "Xiao Fan, you’re responsible for leading these two scoundrels from the Blood God Sect. Yan’er, follow me in clearing the way ahead."

The group fought as they retreated. Since all of these Blood Spirit Corpses still had a chance to recover, everyone avoided their vital spots when striking. Understandably, the difficulty of breaking through increased significantly.

Finally, just as the sun dipped below the horizon, they reached the city gates. The Deputy General Wang, responsible for their reception, saw their figures and the large group of Blood Spirit Corpses following them and immediately raised his hand to give the order, "Archers, loose your arrows for cover!"

"Yes!"

The archers atop the city walls, all well-trained elite soldiers with excellent marksmanship, immediately drew their bows and loosed their arrows. A volley of arrow rain soared out, pinning down the front-most Blood Spirit Corpses to the ground in an instant.

The arrows used by these archers were specially made crossbow bolts called "Breaking God Crossbow" bolts, and only these arrows could easily pierce through the nearly invulnerable bodies of the Blood Spirit Corpses.

At the same time, the soldiers guarding the city gates quickly opened them, allowing Ling Feng and the others to withdraw outside.

Before long, everyone passed through the defensive line and finally escaped from that Corpse City filled with the Walking Dead.

"Phew... Finally out."

Ye Nanfeng shook off the fresh blood from his sword blade, charging left and right along the way, constantly swinging his sword, chopping at those copper-skinned and iron-boned Blood Spirit corpses. The force of the recoil made his hands go numb.

"Everyone has finally returned safely!"

Vice General Wang leaped down from the city tower and approached Ling Feng with a salute, "Young Master Ling, General Sun has been waiting for a long time. I will take you to him right away."

Ling Feng nodded, then pointed to the two Evil People from the Blood God Sect casually thrown aside by Jiang Xiaofan, and said indifferently, "Vice General Wang, these two are the High Priest and protector of the Blood God Sect. I have sealed their cultivation. I will now hand them over to General Sun to deal with."

Having their cultivation sealed by Ling Feng, they naturally couldn’t keep up with the speed at which Ling Feng and his group had charged out. Thus, they were practically dragged out of the city by Jiang Xiaofan using ropes, their bodies streaked with bloody marks, utterly miserable.

"Young Master Ling is truly extraordinary."

Vice General Wang exclaimed in admiration, ordering his men to take down the two Evil People for imprisonment, before leading Ling Feng and his group to General Sun Gongming’s large tent.

...

Before long, the group stopped in front of a grand military tent.

"Reporting to the General, Young Master Ling and the others have returned!" Vice General Wang bowed outside the large tent and called out.

"Is it Brother Ling who has returned?"

Inside the military tent, Sun Gongming immediately rushed out, followed by Doctor Jin Weide and several other military doctors.

"Brother Ling, you’re back at last!"

Seeing Ling Feng’s safe return, Sun Gongming burst into hearty laughter and patted Ling Feng’s shoulder heavily a few times, "Great! This is really great!"

"Reporting to the General, Young Master Ling and the others have brought back two evil people from the Blood God Sect. They have been taken into custody by your subordinate, awaiting the General’s decision."

Vice General Wang reported loudly.

"Good! Very good! Young man, you have really accomplished a great feat this time!" General Sun nodded and then turned to Ling Feng, his voice grave, "Young man, do you have any leads on the poison flower that was mentioned previously for concocting the Blood Corpse Poison?"

"I have some clues."

Ling Feng took out a vial of Poison Liquid from the Spirit Storage Ring and stated solemnly, "This is the Poison Liquid used to refine the Blood Soul Pearl. I will need a few more days of research to confirm exactly which Poison Flower it is."

"Great, that’s wonderful!"

Sun Gongming laughed heartily, "With young brother arriving, you’ve immediately brought so much good news, I will certainly write to the court to commend you for your great service!"

Doctor Jin Weide stepped forward and took a glance at the porcelain bottle, speaking slowly, "Young Master Ling, may I take a look at that Poison Liquid?"

"Mm." Ling Feng casually handed the bottle to Jin Weide. In truth, he had recognized the main Poison Flower used in concocting that Poison Liquid at first glance. The reason he made such a show of bringing the Poison Liquid back was to let everyone know that he would need some more days to develop an antidote for the Blood Corpse Poison.

Likewise, the Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch hidden in the shadows would surely learn of this news. Since he intended to use these Blood Spirit corpses as sacrifices, he would definitely appear to stop him.

This trap, to lure the serpent out of its hole, once the Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch was drawn out, the Despicable Donkey lurking within the Five Elements Heavenly Palace would strike with a thunderbolt, taking the life of that cur!
