The Heavenly Demon Bloodline soon devoured the Black Witch Bloodline and become slightly stronger than before. At the same time, it also gained an attribute that belonged to the Black Witch Bloodline.
Ye Xiao could feel its power. It was really marvelous.
When Ye Xiao flew back to Hao Lufan and the others, he could clearly see that everyone was relieved.
“Young Lord Ye, it’s good to see that you’re fine. That Old Witch Ren is very difficult to deal with. Her skills are simply inexplicable. There were once three Chaos Spirit Realm warriors who joined forces to deal with Old Witch Ren, but Old Witch Ren still escaped. She even killed two of them when striking back.”
Hao Lufan had a solemn expression.
“She’s indeed hard to deal with, but I still killed her. She won’t trouble us again in the future!” Ye Xiao said calmly and indifferently, but his words dealt a huge impact on the people who knew about Old Witch Ren.
“What? Old Witch Ren is dead?”
Hao Lufan’s mouth fell open. It was not just him, all the people present at the scene were shocked, including Fang Da. Fang Da was shocked because Old Witch Ren was a Chaos Spirit Realm warrior, but she was still killed by Ye Xiao. This showed how shockingly powerful Ye Xiao actually is.
“By the way, be careful of the Cao Family in the future. That Cao Shuan bribed this Old Witch Ren with valuable gifts and asked her to intercept and kill you.” Ye Xiao said.
“Cao Shuan? What a sly old fox. However, the fact that he used such a despicable method means that he is wary of me. Anyway, I will settle the score with Cao Shuan and his family after the Red Star Tournament.”
A trace of killing intent also flashed across Hao Lufan’s eyes.
After all, if Ye Xiao had not been too powerful and killed Old Witch Ren instead, faced with her eerie formation and bizarre skills, they probably would not have been able to reach Red Star City.
This was a life-or-death feud. How could he let it go so easily?
“The Cao Family will also go to the Red Star Tournament too, right? I don’t think we’ll have to wait until the Red Star Tournament is over.”
Ye Xiao originally did not harbor much killing intent toward Cao Shaun and the Cao Family, but after what happened today, he would not hold back if he really encountered Cao Shaun in the tournament.
After Old Witch Ren’s assassination attempt, Ye Xiao also felt that if they kept going slowly, more trouble might arise. Hence, he stopped flying slowly on Phantom. Phantom then shrunk in size and entered the Flying Ship of Fang Da before flying towards Red Star City as quickly as possible. 𝑜𝘷𝑙.𝘰𝑟𝑔
..…
When Ye Xiao arrived at Red Star City, Red Star City was already very lively.
Fang Da immediately put away the flying ship.
Ye Xiao then once again started riding on Phantom’s back.
“This is the first time I’ve come to this Red Star City. As expected of a city famed in the entire Star Forest Region. Moreover, due to the Red Star Tournament recently, many cultivators from all over Star Forest Region have gathered here.”
Ye Xiao nodded. This Red Star City was indeed very prosperous. Here, for the first time, Ye Xiao saw more cultivators than ordinary people. Moreover, cultivators who were in the Chaos Dust Realm were everywhere on the streets. Even Chaos Spirit Realm warriors were not uncommon.
“Just how many Chaos Dust Realm warriors did Lord Chen invite?”
Ye Xiao was a little surprised. Judging from the situation on the street, there were definitely tens of thousands of Chaos Dust Realm warriors.
“I’m not sure. This is confidential, but there should be a lot of them. There must be at least hundreds of thousands or even more.”
A strange look flashed across Ye Xiao’s eyes when he heard this. He was a Late Stage Chaos Dust Realm warrior himself. He was afraid that even his Illusionary Spirit Gate might not have so many Chaos Dust Realm warriors.
“Lord Ye, let’s hurry to Lord Chen’s Lodge. That’s a resting place specially prepared by Lord Chen for all Chaos Dust Realm and Chaos Spirit Realm warriors. Although only Chaos Dust Realm warriors could enter the Red Star Secret Realm, it doesn’t matter only they were invited. In fact, there are many geniuses from big families and forces among the Chaos Dust Realm warriors. Obviously, these geniuses have Chaos Spirit Realm protectors protecting them from dangers.”
Ye Xiao nodded in understanding and headed toward the Lodge with the others.
The Lodge was easily recognizable. As it was the tallest building in the entire Red Star City, when Ye Xiao and the others arrived at the Lodge, the eyes of a few guards who were Chaos Dust Realm warriors lit up, and they hurriedly came forward to welcome them.
“Dear guest, please show your invitation letter.”
Ye Xiao and Hao Lufan showed the invitation letter to the guard. The guard’s expression became even more respectful. “So it’s Mr. Hao Lufan and Mr. Ye Xiao. Please follow me.”
Ye Xiao asked casually, “How many Chaos Du… Spirit Realm warriors are staying in the Lodge so far?”
Ye Xiao wanted to ask about Chaos Dust Realm warriors at first, however, he soon changed his decision and asked about Chaos Spirit Realm warriors.
“Lord Ye, we do not count Chaos Spirit Realm warriors. But if you want to know about Chaos Dust Realm warriors, as it’s still early, only 56,000 Chaos Dust Realm warriors are staying in the Lodge so far.”
“There are 56,000?”
Ye Xiao nodded in extreme shock. That was already quite a lot.
“Lord Ye, this way, please.”
As soon as Ye Xiao and the others entered the Lodge, their eyes lit up. They could clearly sense that there was a formation set up in the Lodge. It was as if every level was covered by a formation.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, a trace of surprise appeared on Hao Lufan’s face. He stared intently at the two figures in front of him.
“Family Head Cao!” Hao Lufan enunciated each word through gritted teeth.
When Hao Lufan called out, The Head of the Cao Family, Cao Shuan, turned around. When he saw Hao Lufan and Ye Xiao, his expression changed slightly.
Beside him was Ancestor Cao, a Chaos Spirit Realm warrior who had cultivated for thousands of years. Seeing Ye Xiao and Hao Lufan, they knew that Old Witch Ren had failed.
Moreover, judging from Hao Lufan’s expression, the matter had probably been exposed long ago.
“Incompetent!” Ancestor Cao said coldly. He was referring to Old Witch Ren. To think that Old Witch Ren had boasted that she would definitely be able to keep Hao Lufan behind. But now? She had still allowed the two of them to arrive at Red Star City safely.
“Family Head Cao, what a coincidence! I’ll definitely repay you for the matter of Old Witch Ren in the future!” Hao Lufan gritted his teeth.
“We can’t fight here?” Ye Xiao raised his brows and asked calmly.
The guards at the side were shocked. One of them hurriedly said, “Dear guests, no matter what grudges you hold against each other, you are not to fight in the Red Star City. Please calm yourselves.”
This was the rule established by Lord Chen. Otherwise, if everyone attacked at will, how could the Red Star Tournament be carried out?
“Very well. They get to live for a few more days!”
Hao Lufan turned around and followed the guard upstairs.
The people of the Cao Family were arranged to stay on the fifth level of the Lodge.
“Ancestor, Hao Lufan, and the others are actually alive. What exactly is Old Witch Ren doing?”
Cao Shuan had a worried expression. Hao Lufan was still alive, and the matter had actually been exposed. This was simply the worst outcome. Once the Red Star Tournament ended and Hao Lufan returned to the Hao family, the Cao Family would never have peace.
“That old witch is usually vicious and ruthless. She has all kinds of abilities that even I can’t guard against. But she actually failed this time. Hmph, I’d like to see what excuse she has.”
Hence, Ancestor Cao immediately used their special method to send a message to Old Witch Ren.
After waiting for a long time, there was still no reply from Old Witch Ren. By this point, even Ancestor Cao’s expression darkened.
“Old Witch Ren hasn’t replied for a long time. I’m afraid she’s already dead. Old Witch Ren’s methods are strange. Even I have to be careful when facing her to avoid falling into her trap. I can only kill her with the aid of our family’s treasured formation plate. As for one-on-one battles? I’m afraid I am not Old Witch Ren’s match. Killing her is extremely difficult.”
“But she was actually killed. I’m confident that Hao Lufan doesn’t have such strength. Then who is it that killed Old Witch Ren?”
Ancestor Cao had a slight headache. Old Witch Ren had always been famous for her strange methods and strong life-preserving abilities. Now, Old Witch Ren was actually dead. Things must be more complicated than they looked.
