Sneaking Around

Qin Huai was dressed in a long green and white robe. His chiseled face was handsome, and his skin was translucent and blood-red, like some kind of jade.

He carried Silver Fox on his back and had short, neat hair. A thin layer of white mist surrounded him as he walked out from the depths of the forest.

The sky was shattered, and black blood rain and minced meat fell to the ground.

“I think I used too much?”

The dosage he used should be just enough to kill a bone pattern realm warrior. These herbs were all very old and expensive, so his attacks were very accurate.

Qin Huai’s expression was indifferent as he raised his head slightly to look at the black minced meat that was emitting a foul smell.

These evil followers of the Sacred Heart sect would not only mutate their organs after eating too many people, but even their blood, qi, and smell would become unpleasant.

“Sect Master, that evil cult follower is still moving!” Zhang Lihuo’s voice sounded beside him.

Qin Huai followed Zhang Lihuo’s gaze and saw a head stuck in the ground. Blood and hot air flowed out from its fat lips.

“He didn’t die even after this?” Qin Huai frowned slightly.

“Ha…” The huge head began to speak, “I didn’t lose to you. I lost to myself… I lost on my own evolution path.”

“Evolution path? What kind of evolution is cultivating evil techniques?” Qin Huai was indifferent. He pulled out Silver Fox and walked toward the huge head.

“The key point of a martial artist’s cultivation is to complete the level of life transformation… and to complete this process.” The head coughed violently, and the blood and heat flowing out of its body quickly decreased.

Clearly, there was not much time left.

“Completing this process is to devour other living beings! The cultivation method of my Sacred Heart sect is merely to understand the essence of a martial artist’s cultivation!

“All of you are taking medicine and pills. Aren’t they also formed by the living beings of heaven and earth? A higher living being devouring a lower living being… This is the rule of the world…”

The voice of the head grew weaker and weaker.

“…I just failed to evolve.”

“Nonsense!”

Qin Huai’s spear pierced through the head, completely ending his last breath of life.

“It’s precisely because of lunatics like you that most people like me can’t live a stable life.” Qin Huai furrowed his brows. He was extremely disgusted with this fellow.

“Ding! You have collected a [Blood Heart Technique Essence (Orange)], [Blood Heart Technique] Experience +29,999!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Blood Heart Force Comprehension], [Blood Heart Force] +2%!”

Large amounts of memories flooded Qin Huai’s mind. His spine also began to heat up, as if there were patterns carved on it.

He turned to look at Zhang Lihuo and the others. “Continue to clear out the Sacred Heart sect’s people near the mountain. ”

After he instructed them, he then left into the distance.

…

Late at night.

Qin Huai quietly advanced through the forest. The breath control technique had become useless after he broke through to the bone pattern realm, so it was not enough.

However, Qin Huai still used his exquisite skills to quietly shuttle through the forest.

He entered the core region of September Hook, then restrained his breathing to the lightest, occasionally stopping behind the dark tree.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh …

The sound of footsteps could be heard.

Qin Huai stood still once again as he watched the four of them walk over shoulder to shoulder. Some were limping, while others were missing fingers or eyes.

They were not disabled because of fighting. This was because most of them had wounds similar to those of the fatty who had died at Qin Huai’s hands.

Their wounds were covered with sticky insect-like flesh, looking extremely terrifying. It should be caused by using evil techniques to eat people and cultivate the blood heart technique.

‘They’re all at fourth refinements? Also… Why does it feel like the core area of September Hook was even looser than the outer area?’

Qin Huai looked at the flames that lit up in the distance and could vaguely hear some cheers.

‘There’s some sort of banquet. Or a memorial?’

Qin Huai watched as the four of them headed straight for the tree he was hiding behind.

He frowned slightly. Seeing that the other party was only a few meters away from him…

“Ferocious might!”

Boom!

In an instant, the four of them went limp and died on the spot.

Qin Huai continued to move stealthily, heading toward the most dazzling part of the flames. He did the same thing and killed the two groups of people he encountered along the way.

Finally, he saw flames and a large number of people.

Qin Huai leaned against the edge of the forest and looked inside. The thick smell of blood permeated the mountains, accompanied by the heart-wrenching wails of women and the cries of children.

Tens of thousands of kilograms of wood were lit up by the rectangular wooden platform.

The eyes of the people who were tied up in groups of ten trembled. In front of them, a fierce flame burned fiercely, more than ten meters high. The blazing flames reflected the fear in their eyes.

Qin Huai looked around and saw that there were three to four thousand people tied up. A few days ago, the villages around Phoenix Ridge City disappeared collectively… The number of people seemed to match the number in front of him.

Wulalala~

Outside the campfire, there were Sacred Heart disciples who were emitting a strange smell. They were dancing in a strange manner and formed a circle around the campfire.

It was like a sacrificial activity for primitive people to pay tribute to their ancestors and food.

“I beg you, please let my family go. At least let my poor child go.”

...

A woman in ragged clothes was dirty all over. Her eyes were filled with tears, and there were some red scratches on her fair skin that could be seen with the naked eye.

Not far away, a fat figure was holding a crying baby in his wide hands.
