The expressions of Half-Martial Ancestor Qian Tian and Half-Martial Ancestor Divine Turtle-Dove changed starkly!
The expressions of Half-Martial Ancestor Qing Ze, Half-Martial Ancestor Li Heng and the others changed slightly as well. All of them turned to look at the two Half-Martial Ancestors in disbelief.
The expressions of the two Half-Martial Ancestors, Qian Tian and Divine Turtle-Dove, were terrible and unpredictable. In front of the storyteller, they did not even have the courage to lie!
“We did cultivate this fiend technique, but that’s nothing much, right?”
Half-Martial Ancestor Qian Tian forced a smile and explained, “Enigma Palace covers a wide spectrum of knowledge and we don’t belong to any immortal, Buddhist or fiend sects. There’s no lack of cultivation technique from the fiend sects in our sect as well.”
“Other fiend techniques are nothing much, but don’t you guys know what sort of a cultivation technique the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra is?”
The storyteller’s gaze was sharp as he said coldly, “Don’t you guys know how much of a catastrophe that fiend caused in Tianhuang Mainland 40,000 years ago?”
“Once you’re tainted by this fiend technique, you’ll sink into it. Given your natures, can you control it?”
Under the pressure of the storyteller, Half-Martial Ancestor Qian Tian and Half-Martial Ancestor Divine Turtle-Dove were already drenched in cold sweat and did not dare to say anything.
“Speak! Who imparted this fiend technique to you guys?!”
The storyteller asked slowly.
“Heavenly Secrets! Heavenly Secrets was the one!”
Half-Martial Ancestor Divine Turtle-Dove could not withstand it and was the first to speak. “We’ve already lived for more than 15,000 years and started entering our later years. However, we haven’t been able to advance to the Mahayana realm for a long time.”
“Heavenly Secrets was the one who came looking for us. He told us that there’s a cultivation technique that can help us advance to the Mahayana realm. We only cultivated it to become Mahayana Patriarchs and strengthen our sect’s power.”
“No wonder,”
A look of realization flashed through Lin Xuanji’s eyes.
In the past two years, as long as Heavenly Secrets made a decision, the two Half-Martial Ancestors, Qian Tian and Divine Turtle-Dove, would support him with all their might.
Even when they joined forces with the primordial races to imprison Lin Xuanji, these two Half-Martial Ancestors were the first to stand on the side of Heavenly Secrets.
However, although the source of how these two learned their fiend cultivation technique was discovered, they would never know how Heavenly Secrets learned it.
The storyteller closed his eyes for a long time before opening them slowly. He looked at the two Half-Martial Ancestors, Qian Tian and Divine Turtle-Dove, and said in a deep voice, “The two of you have already committed a grave mistake cultivating this fiend technique!”
“On account of your many years in Enigma Palace, I can spare you this once. However, you’ll return everything you’ve learned in this lifetime to Enigma Palace today. From now on, you can be mortals and stop cultivating.”
Half-Martial Ancestor Qian Tian and Half-Martial Ancestor Divine Turtle-Dove were shocked!
To be mortals!
The storyteller meant that he was going to cripple their cultivations!
Both of them lowered their heads slightly and a strange blood glint flashed through the depths of their eyes.
All of a sudden!
A gigantic blood mist burst forth from the two of them and they turned into two blood lights that fled in two different directions!
The speed of the blood lights was way too fast!
Almost instantly, they were 500 kilometers away!
This was Blood Escape from the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra!
“Mmm?”
Patriarch Qing Cheng frowned and extended his palm, grabbing towards Half-Martial Ancestor Qian Tian!
Swoosh!
His palm brushed past the blood light.
Even when a Patriarch attacked, he was a tad slower!
The speed of the Blood Escape technique released by Half-Martial Ancestors after burning their bloodlines was indeed terrifying. By the time Patriarch Qing Cheng reacted, the two of them had already fled to the horizons!
“Hahahaha!”
Half-Martial Ancestor Qian Tian’s laughter sounded. “Storyteller old dog, we’ve worked in Enigma Palace for many years. Even if we didn’t contribute, we did our best. Yet, you want to cripple our cultivations with just a few words?!”
“Once the two of us escape today, the world will be vast. Old dog, you’ll regret this sooner or later! The day we become Patriarchs will be the day we make a comeback!”
“Hahahaha!”
Both of them laughed wantonly.
The storyteller was expressionless and did not move.
Suddenly!
He reached out with both palms and yanked in the direction where the two of them were escaping.
The feeling was as though he was trying to pull the two Half-Martial Ancestors back from 500 kilometers away.
A strange power spread.
Although there was no deafening commotion, the two figures that were about to disappear into the horizon gradually became clearer in front of the crowd.
Half-Martial Ancestor Qian Tian and Half-Martial Ancestor Divine Turtle-Dove were still releasing Blood Escape without slowing down at all.
However, the distance between the two of them and the storyteller was shrinking continuously!
Although it was clearly in the opposite direction, the more they fled, the closer they were to the storyteller!
Psst!
The cultivators gasped.
That method had already surpassed everyone’s understanding!
“Is that a divine power?”
Su Zimo murmured softly.
Before long, Half-Martial Ancestor Qian Tian and Half-Martial Ancestor Divine Turtle-Dove were dragged back by the storyteller who was 500 kilometers away!
Under the gaze of the storyteller, the two Half-Martial Ancestors were horrified and were still escaping frantically.
However, no matter how much strength they exerted, they were only getting closer to the storyteller and they returned to Enigma Palace before long!
This time round, both of them were truly scared out of their wits.
“P-Please… spare our lives!”
Half-Martial Ancestor Qian Tian and Half-Martial Ancestor Divine Turtle-Dove knelt with a thud and said incoherently with pale faces.
“I could have spared your lives earlier on,”
The storyteller shook his head slowly. “But I can’t do it now.”
The moment he said that, the storyteller did not give the two half-Martial Ancestors a chance to explain and extended his palm, slashing in front of them like a saber.
The heads of the two Half-Martial Ancestors seemed to have been sliced into two by some divine weapon as blood gushed out and their Essence Spirits were destroyed on the spot!
Two Half-Martial Ancestors of Enigma Palace were dead!
All the cultivators in the world were silent!
A Half-Martial Ancestor expert was almost a peak existence in the cultivation world. However, in the hands of the storyteller, two of them were killed casually as though ants were being crushed!
Every cultivator of Enigma Palace looked at the storyteller with reverence in their eyes.
Su Zimo sighed internally.
For the matter of Heavenly Secrets, the storyteller was slightly hesitant and even gave the former a chance in the end.
This gave everyone the illusion that the storyteller was benevolent.
However, in reality, the reason why the storyteller was so hesitant was because Heavenly Secrets was his disciple—how could he sever the many years of relationship between master and disciple within a short period of time?
However, later on, the storyteller completely displayed his decisiveness to kill!
With a few words, he removed the Palace Lord of Enigma Palace!
He killed two Half-Martial Ancestors with a thunderous might!
He did not hesitate at all!
His attack had stunned everyone in Enigma Palace!
“Bury the two of them,”
The storyteller waved it off and turned to Su Zimo and the others. “It’s all thanks to you guys that Enigma Palace is able to get rid of this huge problem today.”
“You’re making things sound too serious, senior,”
Su Zimo said hurriedly.
“If you’re free, why don’t you rest for a few days at Enigma Palace?”
The storyteller said, “At the same time, Xuanji can take you guys around.”
“Alright, thank you, senior.”
Su Zimo cupped his fists.
Yan Beichen was unconscious and could recuperate in Enigma Palace for a few days.
At the same time, he could find an opportunity to ask about the Killing Badge of the Blood Vine race..
