Chapter 255: It’s not as scary as I thought

Pu Tu wanted them to stay longer, but Huo Rong rejected his good intentions. As one of the Magnificent Flame Sect’s pillars of strength, his leaving the sect made the sect weaker while he was away.

Thus he had to leave swiftly after helping the Titan sect defeat the Elephant God sect.

“Father, you don’t blame me for this, right?” Yuan Ge said, lowering her head.

“Why would I, my daughter.” Pu Tu laughed. “It’s just that the size difference between the two of you…”

But before he could finish his words, Pu Tu was made speechless.

His cute and petite daughter suddenly increased in height, from 156cm to about 2 meters tall. Her shirt seemed to be a special one that could expand and shrink as she liked. She might have a weak aura, but Pu Tu was excited to see the changes taking place to his daughter.

“Yuan Ge, you started cultivating?” Pu Tu was unable to believe his eyes. This was the secret skillset of the Titan Sect, the Titan spiritual cultivation method. Yuan Ge might just be a beginner; she wasn’t even in the very first realm! But it was enough to throw Pu Tu off his feet.

“Father, during my trip, I found a fruit and ate it. I was able to cultivate after that.” Yuan Ge nodded.

“A fruit?” Pu Tu asked in shock. “What fruit could cause this?”

Yuan Ge didn’t know what fruit it was. She only picked it because she liked how the fruit looked. It smelt good too.

As soon as Yuan Ge picked the fruit, the tree turned to ashes.

Hearing Yuan Ge’s description, Pu Tu was dumbfounded. Yuan Ge described the fruit to have a picture of a colossal titan stepping on numerous beasts. ~ Don’t tell me that was the legendary Titan Sacred fruit was the fruit that we could never find.~

In the air.

“Elder, why did the Elephant God sect suddenly decide to stop the war?” Lin Fan asked. ~How great it would be if I had one more day? Imagine the number of points I’d have earned.~

“Because the Saint Convent Sect elders decide to leave. The Elephant God sect would definitely stop the war as they might be easily destroyed by us and the Titan sect. However, we didn’t go so far because of many considerations.”

“The Saint Convent Sect?” Hearing that name, Lin Fan felt unhappy. ~That was the prestigious sect that Liu Ruochen left the Magnificent Flame Sect for.~

~ I wonder how she’s currently doing.~

~But it doesn’t matter, as half a year later, I’ll live up to my promise, which is to trample over the place she calls heaven.~

“The Saint Covent sect deserves it. They were the ones to destroy the sects unwilling to obey them, which ended up angering a hidden power. To take revenge for the sect, the hidden power was now causing trouble for the Saint Covent Sect. It was something that had been bothering the Saint Covent Sect recently.”

“That power is a good man. He should destroy the Saint Convent Sect.”

“That’s impossible.” Huo Rong shook his head. “The Saint Covent Sect is too powerful. He might be able to cause them some trouble, but he would definitely be taken down by them someday.”

~I would like to make friends with him if I have a chance. We can discuss tactics.~

~After returning to the sect, I will use my points and research the Divine Religion lurking inside our sect. How can I let such a tumor exist in the sect?~

~The sect can only be powerful if it’s peaceful internally.~

Very soon, they reached the Magnificent Flame Sect’s territory.

Suddenly, a strong smell of blood could be detected.

“What’s going on? Such a strong blood smell. Who killed these beasts?” Lin Fan asked. It was unexpected, so the group landed to see what was going on.

“Elder, the beasts’ have all been sucked dry.” After checking one of the beasts, Jin Quan turned to the group and said seriously.

Anything that sucked blood was terrifying, as no blood-sucking being was innocent.

Lin Fan took a look at the beast under his feet. It might already be dead, but he could feel that the creature previously had Heaven Star Border Stage One cultivation. ~ It’s dead, though.~ He said, feeling his heartache.

“Eh!” Suddenly, Lin Fan frowned. “Elder Huo, come here. What’s this?”

Huo Rong rushed over. His expression changed drastically when he saw the worm wriggling in the beast’s belly that was sliced open.

“Blood worm.”

“This is a skillset belonging to the Divine Religion. It’s hard to pick up this skill set, but it seemed like someone had succeeded in learning it. The blood worm isn’t a living thing, but if I were to describe it, it’s similar to our Earth energy.” Huo Rong said in a severe tone.

“Elder, can you elaborate? I don’t understand.” Huo Rong’s words confused Lin Fan.

“We take in Heaven and Earth energy to cultivate, but for them who practices evil cultivation. They don’t need to, as they only have to congeal a blood worm like this, which will become parasites on other living things and feast on their energy. The worms will return to the main body after taking in enough energy. That’s how he gets stronger.”

“No, he shouldn’t be known as human anymore.”

Lin Fan realized Huo Rong’s expression was serious. This was the first time Lin Fan had ever seen him look so grim.

“Such an evil cultivation method.” Lin Fan frowned. He didn’t have a good impression of the Divine Religion. ~Why do they have to be so sick? Can’t they just cultivate normally? They make me sick.~

“These beasts have been dead for a few days. I wonder where the evil cultivator went. If we let him grow stronger, he’ll bring us endless trouble.” Huo Rong said worriedly. He stared into the distance, searching for the cultivator but to no avail.

“Let’s return to the sect. We need to report this. This is a grave matter.”

With that, the group chose to fly back instead of teleporting. They kept their eyes fixed to the ground, trying to spot anything abnormal.

Many corpses could be seen on the way back.

It seemed that over a hundred beasts had died under the blood worm.

Lin Fan’s heart bled at this sight.

While Huo Rong was panic-stricken, a village caught the group’s attention.

Lin Fan didn’t feel good about this, as most villages he came across weren’t anything good.

“Elder, we should head over to the village. There are many dead beasts near the village. We might discover something abnormal there.” Lin Fan came to a stop. Seeing movement in the village, his suspicions were aroused.

“Since when was there such a village?” Huo Rong frowned, trying his best to recall the geography of the area.

As a Magnificent Flame Sect elder who believed in equality, he was familiar with anything in the Magnificent Flame Sect, even the smallest details. It might not be much use, but he was an elder of the Magnificent Flame Sect. It was his job to know everything he could.

“Let’s head down and take a look. But be careful.” Huo Rong warned.

In the village.

Seeing the group come from the sky, the villagers couldn’t help but be confused about what was going on. Soon, an elderly man could be seen coming out of the village with his walking stick. He walked slowly and spoke in a hoarse voice.

“Lords, I’m the village chief of Farm village. How can I help?”

“Farm village?” Huo Rong raised an eyebrow. “I don’t think there was such a village in the Magnificent Flame Sect’s record.”

“Lord, we have been established for only a short time. We have yet to register our village in any cities.” The Elder said.

“Did anything strange happen around the village recently?” Huo Rong asked.

“No.” The Elder shook his head. “Our village is isolated from the world, and we spend our lives farming. We don’t know about anything going on in the sect.”

“Wait!” Suddenly, Lin Fan stepped forward and went towards the Elder. “That’s such a familiar smell. I think I’ve smelled it before somewhere.” He said, sniffing.

The Elder’s expression changed imperceptibly, but he tried his best to remain calm. “I wonder what smell the lord is talking about?”

Puke!

Lin Fan pierced his hands through the Elder’s stomach. A wide smile then formed on his face. “So it’s this smell. I recall where I know it from now.”

A bulge could be seen on the Elder’s stomach suddenly, moving towards his chest.

“Mhmm?”

Lin Fan frowned, and his hands went through the Elder’s chest, all the way up to his brain. He made the Elder’s brain explode with one punch and pulled out a circular piece of meat.

Not only did the piece of meat have a head and limbs. It even let out a high pitch scream too.

“How did you discover me?”

Crack!

Lin Fan crushed it and went into deep thought. ~This Skin Changing Collection is different from the one I came across in the past. Don’t tell me they made another newly revised version again.~

~What the hell is the Divine Religion? How can someone be that creative?~

“Elder, couldn’t you tell that there was something wrong with that village elder?” Lin Fan asked. ~If even Huo Rong is unable to tell, then this is truly worrying.~

“I could feel that something wasn’t right, but I wasn’t sure. All I could feel was the other party’s weird aura.” Huo Rong replied seriously.

Lin Fan frowned. ~Weird aura? But I’m sure I smelt something! Maybe I’m such sensitive to smells, or it’s because I’ve killed too many of them, so I’m able to recognize it.”

“Don’t let the villagers escape. There’s a high chance that they knew who’s the culprit. “Lin Fan replied and immediately told the elders to launch their attack.

Huo Rong floated in the sky. He opened his arms wide and locked the local space, and prevented any villagers from escaping.

“Bring them back for my master to search their souls. Let’s see what they know.” Lin Fan said.

That’s the only method for now.

The Divine Religion is crazy. Were they even human before they became a follower of the religion? Why did they join such a perverted religion?

They seem to be neither human nor ghosts.

Utterly terrifying.
