Shi Lang scratched his head as he saw a phantom materialize in the void. The person was a burly young man. He had a smirk on his face, and his chin was slightly raised. This was the remnant consciousness of the expert Flaming Spear. The dazed eyes told Shi Lang that the phantom was like a recorded message.
The terran said nothing when the phantom started talking, “Since you have seen through my trick, then I shall give you my entire fortune.”
The stone stacked upon each other rolled to the side, and a space ring flew up. Shi Lang watched as the ring floated over him and landed in his stretched palm. The phantom continued, “This ring has my treasured spear. The weapon is a heavenly spirit artifact. If you can tame it, consider it your fortune. However, if the weapon is not tamed, it might kill you and leave. I have left a few jade slips inside with the recordings of my skills too. I hope you can master some of them.”
That said, the phantom vanished from the place. Raksha smiled and said, “Aren’t you a lucky one?”
Shi Lang shook his head and said, “Do you think possessing two heavenly spirit artifacts is good? I am treading on thin ice here.”
The sword spirit said, “You say that, yet your eyes are locked to the ring. Tell me, do you take me for a fool?”
Shi Lang smiled as he placed the ring inside the Inheritance palace. This would lessen the risk of discovery. Then he turned to look at Lei Hu and said, “Thank you for your aid.”
The thunder tiger raised its chin higher. He was tired of choosing this man as his master. In the eyes of the spirit beast, Shi Lang was a country bumpkin; his only advantage till now was the heavenly spirit sword.
Suddenly, Shi Lang turned to look toward the valley entrance and said, “Raksha, go back in.”
The spirit sword was unwilling, but she could not help but follow his instructions. They both were cautious. The appearance of a heavenly spirit sword will attract more people, and if any of these people manage to survive or pass out the information to the elders outside this place, it will put up a target on their backs.
Shi Lang might be anonymous, but as long as he came out with his sword, the people will start chasing him like hungry hounds who smelled fresh blood. Being discrete was a good thing in this power-hungry world.
Raksha said, “I will stay in the palace. That tattoo of yours is empty and bleak.”
Shi Lang nodded and moved her to the inheritance palace. He then waved his hand to put the tomb back and erased the words on the headstone also. He walked forward and was surprised to see his foot leave a deep impression on the ground. This armor’s weight was too heavy than he expected, but it did not hinder his movements.
As he came around the tree with Lei Hu, he found several men and women dressed in violet clothes. They all had vicious expressions on their faces. The terran was not flustered and kept walking forward. 𝗈𝓋𝓛xt.𝔠𝗈𝗆
The people saw him and exchanged glances. Someone asked, “Hey, kid, did you find anything you want to present to us here?”
Shi Lang cast an indifferent gaze on the person and nodded. The person smiled and said, “You are very smart, take it out, and I will let you leave alive.”
The terran said, “Would you like to have it that quickly?”
The person nodded, and Shi Lang vanished from his place. The people could not even react when Shi Lang had already appeared before the man who had just spoken, they all saw the light flashing, and then they watched their friend’s head flying off his shoulders and landing on the ground with a dull thud.
They were shocked at this attack, Shi Lang did not say anything. One of the people who were lightly stronger than them woke up and exclaimed, “How dare you!! Bastard!!!”
Shi Lang said, “Did you think I will hand over whatever I have found to you demon scums? Just because you have a faint spiritual aura does not mean you can fool your father.”
The people were enraged, and all drew their swords. Shi Lang said, “Lei Hu, can you handle this trash?”
The people were getting ready to attack Shi Lang when they heard a roar that shook them from the inside out. Their eyes bulged, and they all exploded into blood mist. They did not expect to die such a terrifying death so unexpectedly.
Shi Lang looked at the ground and found that all the blood in the surrounding was flowing towards the big tree. He could not help but narrow his gaze, and the blood was flowing through the shallow grooves on the ground, and not even a particle of the blood was absorbed by the soil on the ground.
Shi Lang did not know what was so special about this tree. At this time, he wished for someone to tell him. However, he could only sigh. Suddenly he turned to face the valley entrance and found five ladies rushing over. They all had veils on their faces. Shi Lang became vigilant, but he could sense they were not demonic cultivators.
The ladies also noticed him and the Thunder Tiger standing before the tree. They immediately stopped, and the two parties looked at each other with great vigilance. Shi Lang sighed and said, “Lei Hu, stop scaring them.”
How could he not know that the beast standing beside him was giving off such a terrible aura that the young women had a trace of cold sweat on their foreheads? He cupped his fist and said, “Greetings, Fairies.”
The ladies were surprised and returned the greeting with some vigilance. They looked around, and the one at the forefront asked, “Fellow Daoists, we have been tracking a group of demonic cultivators. Have you seen them?”
Shi Lang asked tentatively, “Do they wear violet robes?”
The lady nodded and the Terran replied, “They are dead.”
The ladies opened their eyes wide at this. They did not expect Shi Lang to admit things so frankly.
