Chapter 801: - The People Behind

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

These people were donned in black, only revealing their eyes. Their gazes revealed cruelty and they had a cold aura on them.

“It seems that the plan has failed.” The person in charge had a long scar in the corner of his eye. Although his vision was narrowed, his gaze made people terrified.

“I didn’t expect those people to be able to escape from that place.” A person in the back remarked.

“They are from Heavenly Sect. I’m afraid we cannot stay here anymore.”

“We did not complete master’s mission. I’m afraid going back would be…”

Speaking of this, these people exude intense fear and anger.

“Let’s take a look inside. Since we can’t save this place, those things can still be saved. We can only raise them somewhere else.”

They went to the underground mausoleum. After entering, they did not see what they expected.

“Where are the Qi spirits?” All of them were shocked.

The person in charge took out a whistle and blew twice. There was still no movement.

“Those Qi spirits are gone? Were they killed by those people just now?”

“How is it possible? There are numerous Qi spirits. There weren’t that many lightning attribute spirit masters. It’s already rare for them to come up from below. How could they kill all the Qi spirits.” Someone immediately retorted.

“It’s really gone.” The person in charge squeezed the whistle. If it wasn’t a spirit weapon, it would have been crushed by him.

“There were so many Qi spirits. They’re all killed? How is that possible?!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“It smells of deviant fire.”

“Deviant fire… deviant fire and lightning are the natural enemies of Qi spirits. No wonder…”

“This time when we return..” Someone’s complexion instantly turned pale. He was completely stunned.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz…”

At this moment, a subtle sound transmitted from inside. Then the sound grew louder and wasn’t distant from the tunnel.

“What is this sound?”

“Damn it, this is mirage worm! Run!”

A group of people hurried out and condensed a protective layer. They flew up in the sky, except for one person who did not move.

“What are you doing? Run! Do you want to be killed by the mirage worm?”

Unexpectedly, the person took off his face mask, and smiled at them. “You go, I won’t leave.”

“What are you trying to do?”

“We failed our mission. If we go back, we’re only gonna be thrown there. It’s better to end myself here than have a slim chance of surviving over there. Anyone, when I get bitten by the mirage worm, there will be no pain when I die.” That person finished and ran back into the mausoleum.

“Let’s go.” There was a trace of hesitation in the person in charge. But he made his decision in an instant and took the rest away.

Although there would be no pain dying like this. They were still willing to go back and gamble on the chance of survival.

“What now? Do we go back and report?”

After exiting the swamp, they were all depressed.

There was a flash of cruelness in the eye of the person in charge. “Going back now is a dead end. Let’s go to the next place. This time, we have to change the plan…”

Sima You Yue and the other returned to Jialing City and went to find an inn to stay.

Upon arriving at the inn, Fan Lei called Xue Rong and Xu Yuan Yuan, as well as Jiang Jun Zhe and Sima You Yue over.

He had planned to call Han Miao Shuang and Su Xiao Xiao too. But one was too busy looking for something to eat, and the other was busy taking a shower.

“Since we all came back, aren’t you going to let me sleep. Principal, this is not right.” Jiang Jun Zhe leaned lazily on Sima You Yue.

Fan Lei glanced at him and helplessly shook his head. He said nothing.

“Is there something principal called us for?” Sima You Yue asked.

“In fact, it’s nothing on you. I’m letting you partake.” Fan Lei answered. “Xue Rong, although the mausoleum is not hard to find, it is not easy to find it underground. How do you know there was a mausoleum and sent someone down?”

His harsh questions startled Xue Rong and Xu Yuan Yuan.

“We heard it from others.” Xue Rong replied.

“Heard it from others? How did you hear people talk about such secretive things?” Big Wei asked.

“That day, we were on a mission in the mountains. When we passed by a resting place, I heard two people talking about a mausoleum in the Violet Water Swamp. They said that it recently experienced some changes and there were some fortuitous opportunities. Then everyone suggested to see.” Xue Rong said.

“If there really were fortuitous opportunities, would they accidently let you hear it?” Sima You Yue said.

“We also thought so at the time, but they insisted on going. The people who believed in it went down, while those who did not waited for them. But in the end, only Yuan Yuan came up alone.” Xie Rong reiterated. “After Yuan Yuan came up, she only said one thing – dead, they were all dead – fainted. Then we returned to the sect.”

Sima You Yue pondered. “Xiang Yi said that Jing Wen and the group were nearby. They entered when they heard something.”

“It’s all heard, then it is a coincidence!” Jiang Jun Zhe who was dozing off suddenly exclaimed.

“Someone deliberately released the word.” Big Wei said.

“Deliberately releasing words out, so people would go in and provide spirit power to nurture those Qi spirits to make them stronger?” Xue Rong inferred.

“It’s probably so.” Fan Lei commented.

“It’s not probably, it’s indeed someone is controlling this matter.” Sima You Yue remarked.

“How are you so certain?” Little Wei asked.

“Before I left, I let some bees behind. They returned the news, saying that as soon as we left, people came out of the swamp. According to their conversation, the news were released by them.” Sima You Yue said. “But these people were very obscure that they did not give any useful information.”

“During that time, we didn’t detect other people in the swamp. The strength of these people should not be underestimated.” Fan Lei spoke solemnly.

“They went down for a while. After coming out, they said that they will continue at other places. I think, maybe there are quite a few places like that.” Sima You Yue added.

“They just gave up there?”

“They can only give up. There are no longer any Qi spirits underground. Their efforts were in vain.” Sima You Yue said.

“What about the Qi spirits?”

“Before we came up, senior brothers left behind deviant fire. They should already be burnt.” Sima You Yue answered.

Jiang Jun Zhe squinted at her and said nothing.

For the flames she released, it’s better to find time to ask her later.

“It’s thoughtful of you. Leaving behind some deviant fire to wipe out the Qi spirits.”

“I wonder which force is behind this matter, and where are they going next?” Fan Lei said anxiously.
