Zhang Hao had just initiated his movement technique, preparing to travel. Suddenly, two shrill screams came from ahead.
"Hmm? Could it be those two just now?"
Zhang Hao pondered slightly and headed towards the source of the sound. Calculating from where the sound originated, he felt it should be about a mile away from him. However, under his flight, he arrived in an instant. Zhang Hao descended from the air. He immediately smelled a bloody scent.
Two corpses lay quietly on the ground. From their clothing, Zhang Hao was certain that these were indeed the two people from earlier.
"Strange, who could have killed them? To be able to kill them in such a short time, this person's strength is not weak. Even I must be careful," Zhang Hao muttered.
Suddenly, Zhang Hao noticed the strange state of the two corpses on the ground. These two corpses were extremely shriveled, as if all their essence had been sucked dry. They looked like two skeletons.
Even with Zhang Hao's steely heart, seeing this scene made him feel a chill all over. What kind of method could cause such a thing?
Just at this moment, an extreme sense of danger enveloped Zhang Hao's heart. His brow furrowed. He spun and turned his feet.
A silver-white sharp light grazed past Zhang Hao's shoulder. Then, the white light disappeared.
"Who, come out!" Zhang Hao roared.
"Hehehe!"
A Blood Robe Man appeared, his entire body wrapped in a red Blood Robe, with only a pair of sharp eyes visible.
"Who are you? Why are you attacking me?" Zhang Hao asked the Blood Robe Man with some annoyance.
"Killing requires no reason. But you will soon become my food. Hahaha..." the Blood Robe Man laughed proudly.
"Killing requires no reason, alright, then you can die!" The Blood God Blade appeared in Zhang Hao's hand.
Upon seeing the Blood God Blade in Zhang Hao's hand, the Blood Robe Man let out an "Oh!", clearly having some regard for the Blood God Blade in Zhang Hao's hand.
"Ice Seal Three Feet!" Zhang Hao slashed his blade towards the Blood Robe Man.
This slash emitted an extreme chill.
The man chuckled and struck out with a bloody palm.
"Boom!"
The Blood Robe Man let out a strange cry and was sent flying backward by Zhang Hao's slash. He quickly disappeared, as if he had never appeared.
"Damn it, how did he disappear?" Zhang Hao frowned slightly.
However, Zhang Hao felt that the other party would not leave easily. Suddenly, Zhang Hao's warning signal went off. He used Divine Travel, and his body swayed like a pendulum, narrowly avoiding the Blood Robe Man's attack.
"Red Apricot in Snow!
"Peach Blossom!"
Zhang Hao unleashed heavy blade lights, trapping the Blood Robe Man. The cage formed by the heavy blade lights trapped the Blood Robe Man.
Endless blade lights poured down towards the Blood Robe Man.
"Ah!"
The Blood Robe Man fell out of the void.
Zhang Hao looked at the dispirited Blood Robe Man and asked, "Who exactly are you?"
The Blood Robe Man gave a cold smile but did not speak.
"You dare not speak? It seems you want to die?" Zhang Hao said to the Blood Robe Man in a cold voice.
The Blood Robe Man said in a slightly hoarse voice, "If you kill me, you won't be able to escape either."
"Do you believe I'll kill you right now?" Zhang Hao's eyes narrowed.
Unfortunately, the Blood Robe Man did not speak.
Zhang Hao furrowed his brow. He felt the Blood Robe Man was very suspicious. He was definitely not someone from the Colleges, but he was very likely someone who had sneaked in with the Colleges.
Right, I can use a slave seal to control him. I haven't used the Mind Control Mystic Art since learning it. I can give it a try.
Zhang Hao gathered a trace of essence blood and condensed it into a blood seal. He broke it into the Blood Robe Man's glabella.
Suddenly, Zhang Hao's expression became somewhat contorted. Large beads of cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
Zhang Hao inwardly cried out that something was wrong. He had absolutely not expected that this Blood Robe Man's mental strength was so terrifying. He had originally thought that the other party's spirit was relatively weak at this moment, which would make him easier to control. He didn't expect this Blood Robe Man's mental strength to be not weak either.
"What is this? Get out!"
The Blood Robe Man was angrily resisting Zhang Hao's slave seal control. Zhang Hao gritted his teeth and persisted. He knew that if he retreated, allowing the Blood Robe Man to find an opportunity, the unlucky one would only be himself.
Half an incense stick later
The Blood Robe Man's eyes became somewhat dull.
Zhang Hao was overjoyed, knowing he was close to success.
Soon, the Blood Robe Man's eyes struggled slightly, then became clear. Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the other party had been converted by him. Because, in the spiritual world, he had established a connection with the other party. In the other party's eyes, he was a god, a god that could not be resisted no matter what.
"This subordinate greets Lord Zhang Hao," the Blood Robe Man came before Zhang Hao and knelt on one knee.
Zhang Hao nodded slightly and said to the Blood Robe Man, "Tell me the purpose of your entry into the Shenlong Secret Realm."
The Blood Robe Man nodded and quickly stated the purpose of his group's entry into the Shenlong Secret Realm this time.
Although Zhang Hao originally knew that the secret revealed by the Blood Robe Man this time would be significant, he had never expected it to be so astonishing.
It turned out that this Blood Robe Man was from the Heavenly Demon Sect. The Heavenly Demon Sect was the most evil organization on the True Martial Continent and was jointly annihilated by the major Sects over a thousand years ago. Only some remnants survived. However, after a thousand years of recovery, the Heavenly Demon Sect's power had gradually recovered considerably. At this moment, the Heavenly Demon Sect's entry into the Shenlong Secret Realm was to rescue the Heavenly Demon Sect's Protector King. And the Heavenly Demon Sect's Protector King was a Demon Dragon.
Zhang Hao was greatly surprised. Since it was called the Shenlong Secret Realm, he didn't find it strange that there was a Divine Dragon here. But to say there was a Demon Dragon here was very odd.
Moreover, Zhang Hao had never heard of the Heavenly Demon Sect. How did this Sect sneak in?
"Then how did you sneak in here?" Zhang Hao asked the Blood Robe Man.
"Lord Zhang Hao, the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect were actually placed in various Colleges long ago, breaking up into scattered groups. There are people from our Heavenly Demon Sect in every College, so naturally, we entered with the Colleges this time," the Blood Robe Man said.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao felt a chill in his heart. He had never expected that the Heavenly Demon Sect had infiltrated the Colleges long ago. It was estimated that not only students but even some mentors had been bought by the Heavenly Demon Sect.
"Then where is the headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Sect?" Zhang Hao asked the Blood Robe Man.
The Blood Robe Man shook his head and said to Zhang Hao with some helplessness, "This subordinate's authority is not enough, so I do not know. Only the leaders of the branch halls in various places might know the headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Sect."
"Oh!" Zhang Hao nodded, also knowing that the Blood Robe Man was probably just a small fry in the Heavenly Demon Sect. It was normal for him not to know, otherwise, if the Heavenly Demon Sect's headquarters were so easy to find, the Heavenly Demon Sect would have been wiped out long ago.
