With the roar, a bloody light flashed across the dark night sky, and a shrill scream resounded through the whole Duanmu City.
Rumble.
Then, several figures flashed across the whole Duanmu City and rushed to the manor of the You Xiong Tribe.
The closer they were to the manor of the You Xiong Tribe, the stronger the smell of blood was, which made many warriors frown.
The You Xiong Tribe was subdued by a Great Warrior of the Heavenly Building Realm from the Wind Spirit Combat Division. There were more than five hundred warriors in the manor. The most powerful one was the Elder of the Wind Spirit Combat Division, a Great Warrior of the Third Heaven of the Heavenly Building Realm. The weakest one was just a guard of the Bone Honing Realm.
Under the night sky, under the flickering beast fire, there was no vitality in the whole manor. Blood was spilled all over the manor.
In the main hall of the manor, five figures had gathered at the moment. Without exception, they were all Great Warriors of the Heavenly Building Realm. Xiao Chen was also there.
Hiss!
Seeing the scene in the main hall, they could not help but take a deep breath. It could be said that all the warriors in the manor were in the main hall, but they had lost their vitality.
Immediately after, everyone revealed expressions of shock and anger, because in front of them, on the beams of the hall, there were hundreds of pieces of human skin hanging. Even the blood had not completely congealed, it was obvious that they had just been peeled off not long ago.
Whoosh!
As for the Wind Spirit Tribe's Great Martial Artist, he was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. His flesh and blood were sucked dry, turning into a human skin that floated in the wind. The fear on his face was forever fixed at the moment of his death.
"There are words on the human skin!"
Suddenly, someone cried out in alarm. On the floating human skins in front of them, there were many hideous blood-stained characters.
"Lowly human, you stole the ancestral land of the Hundred Tribes. You should be punished!"
Everyone gestured to each other, seeming to find some clues. They did not expect that there were so many Martial Artists of the Heavenly Building Realm in Duanmu City. The alien tribe had the guts to sneak in, hunt the flesh and blood of the human tribe, and then disappear after the murder.
"This breath, it's the Blood Tribe!"
Suddenly, everyone stared at the pieces of human skin that were fluttering in the wind. There were two tiny holes on their necks, and there was a faint bloody and brutal aura seeping out.
There was actually a Blood Tribe lurking here. Everyone's expression turned ugly. To be able to hide in front of everyone and even escape after committing murder, his strength was definitely not weaker than theirs. This kind of Blood Tribe already had the ability to transform into a human, and ordinary people would not be able to distinguish him at all.
"Just now, this Blood Clan member was struck by me and suffered quite a serious injury. He must be hiding in Duanmu City right now."
Suddenly, an old man spoke. It was the third elder of the Baize Marquis, the Snow Fox Lord.
"Elder Snow Fox, this kind of Blood Tribe member is able to hide himself and even walk under the sun like an ordinary person. Unless we are very close to him, we will not be able to detect the dark bloodline power in his body. There are millions of people in Duanmu City. If he transformed into an ordinary Martial Artist, we will not be able to detect him at all."
Then, another Martial Artist spoke. This was another Martial Artist from the Mid-Ranked Lakeside Combat Division. He had subdued the Thunder Combat Division, and his strength was similar to the Wind Spirit Tribe Martial Artist who died in the hands of the Blood Tribe. If he was the target of this Blood Tribe member, then he would be the one who turned into a human skin and hung on the roof. Thinking of this, a chill ran down his spine.
"This Blood Tribe member that has infiltrated the city is already injured, so he will definitely absorb human blood to heal himself. Ordinary human warriors are no longer of any use to him, so if he wants to recover quickly, he will definitely attack warriors of the same level. Thus, we can only bide our time and wait for him to reveal himself."
Martial Artists of the same level. Wasn't this referring to themselves?
Hearing this, the few of them looked at each other, especially the Lakeside Combat Division's Martial Artist and the two Rangers. Immediately, they felt a chill in their hearts. Since the Blood Tribe member was injured, if he wanted to devour Martial Artists to heal himself, he would definitely attack the weaker Martial Artists first.
"Alright, everyone. The Blood Tribe is in the dark while we are in the light. Everyone has the right to kill the remaining Blood Tribe members. At this moment, everyone needs to work together to fight against the external threat."
The Snow Fox Lord's voice rang out once again. His gaze shifted towards Xiao Chen, intentionally or unintentionally. Everyone was well aware of what had happened today. Everything that had happened today was still vivid in their minds. Xiao Chen's strength had shocked them.
Suddenly, the five figures disappeared into the night. A ball of flame was ignited in the main hall, turning the floating human skin into thick green smoke and dissipating between heaven and earth.
The Trove of Treasures.
Elder Hua had consumed the Foundation Elixir that Xiao Chen had given him. The aura of the Peak Building First Heavenly Stage had become more rounded. It would not be long before he could completely advance to the Second Heavenly Stage.
"Clan Leader, what's the situation?"
The remaining Blood Tribe members had sneaked into Duanmu City. Several Peak Building Martial Artists had gathered together. Shi Ya and Elder Hua did not follow Xiao Chen. Instead, they guarded the Treasure Trove Tower.
"It's the remaining Blood Tribe members!"
"Blood Tribe?"
Shi Ya was no stranger to the Blood Tribe. Over the years, countless Blood Tribe members had been killed by the Ancient Yuan Tribe. However, there was no such powerful Blood Tribe member.
Looking at the two people below, Xiao Chen could not help but frown. He understood that the Snow Fox Master was implying that he wanted him to let go of the Xuan Qing Combat Division's Elder. He did not care about this.
However, what the Snow Fox Master said was true. The Blood Tribe member was injured. If he wanted to recover quickly, he had to devour the flesh and blood of Martial Artists of the same level. Elder Hua, who was weaker in the Peak Building Realm, would definitely be one of his choices.
In just a moment, Xiao Chen and Xiao Chen had a plan. It would be fine if the Blood Tribe member did not show up. However, if he dared to sneak into his Treasure Trove Tower, he would definitely kill him.
"I have already sealed the cultivation of the Xuan Qing Combat Division's Elder. Shi Ya, you will personally detain him."
"Yes!"
Then, the two of them left. Only Xiao Chen was left on the fifth floor.
At dawn, the cold moonlight shone through the stone window into a bedroom in the backyard of the Treasure Trove Tower. This was Elder Hua's resting place.
Outside the stone house, a figure approached slowly and stopped in front of Elder Hua's stone door.
"Dang dang dang!"
After a crisp knock on the door, a voice was heard.
"Elder Hua, there have been more Martial Artists coming in and out of Duanmu City these days. The various materials purchased by the Treasure Trove Tower have increased a lot. After checking, I found that there are not many Primordial Stones for circulation. I need Elder Hua to open the vault and take out a batch of Primordial Stones in case of emergency!"
Inside the stone house, Elder Hua, who was sitting cross-legged on the stone bed to stabilize her cultivation, opened her eyes. The person outside the door was a Deacon of the Treasure Trove Tower. His name was Lu Qian, and he was in charge of purchasing resources.
Although she had some doubts about why he came so early today and reported to her to open the vault, she did not think too much about it. These days, the number of Martial Artists in Duanmu City had skyrocketed, and the business of the Treasure Trove Tower had also skyrocketed. The Primordial Stones prepared were not enough, and this had happened several times.
"Let's go!"
The stone door opened, and the figure of Elder Hua appeared in front of Lu Qian. She was about to lead Lu Qian to the direction of the clan vault.
"Elder Hua!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded. Unknowingly, the figure of Xiao Chen appeared not far away from the stone house.
"Greetings, Clan Leader!"
Immediately, Elder Hua and Lu Qian bowed.
"The Treasure Trove Tower is running low on Primordial Stones used to purchase resources. Deacon Lu has come to ask this old woman to transfer a batch of Primordial Stones from the vault."
"Oh!"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen said lightly, "Deacon Lu has done a good job. There are dozens of Deacons in the Treasure Trove Tower. Deacon Lu is really considerate. The clan will not mistreat those who do their best."
"This subordinate does not dare to take credit. As long as it can help the clan develop, this subordinate will do his best and spare no effort!"
"Yes, my Gu Yuan Tribe needs the cooperation of many clansmen to develop."
Xiao Chen said with a hint of playfulness in his eyes, "However, as a remnant of a foreign race, you actually want to spare no effort for my Gu Yuan Tribe. This is very interesting."
Hearing this, Lu Qian's pupils shrank, and he said with a smile, "Clan Leader must be joking. This subordinate does not know what Clan Leader is talking about."
"Haha."
Murderous intent surged in Xiao Chen's eyes, and he chuckled, "This Clan Leader is not joking. You know very well what I mean."
Suddenly, Lu Qian's eyes turned cold, and there was a blood-red light in his eyes. An incomparably evil aura spread out, but it was confined to the courtyard by his astonishing control, so that the evil aura was confined to the courtyard. The people outside the city could not detect any trace of it at all.
"You can actually discover this Commander."
At this moment, Lu Qian's voice sounded, and it was completely different from before. This voice was sharp and ear-piercing.
"A mere remnant of the Blood Clan is just a stray dog of my Human World. Do you really think you're someone important?"
"Damn it!"
"How dare you insult the great Blood Clan. My Blood Clan will return to this land one day, and at that time, we will completely slaughter the Human Race."
"You are much stronger than this woman, so your flesh and blood must be more delicious. After sucking you dry, this Commander should be able to quickly replenish the essence blood I lost. At that time, this Duanmu City will definitely be turned upside down by this Commander, hehe!"
Swoosh!
In an instant, Lu Qian's figure turned into a bloody mist and exploded. A pair of bloody wings appeared behind him, and with a flash of bloody light, he had already arrived behind Xiao Chen. His pale face was filled with malevolence, and two long fangs emerged from his mouth, piercing towards Xiao Chen.
This Blood Clan was not weak, but Xiao Chen did not put him in his eyes. He was merely at the peak of the Third Heaven of the Heavenly Building Realm. He only relied on the advantage of the Blood Clan's ability to hide in the dark to stir up trouble in Duanmu City.
There were all kinds of rockery and stone pillars in the courtyard, but they did not hinder the Blood Clan's movement at all. In the blink of an eye, the bloody fangs pierced into Xiao Chen's flesh.
But then Lu Qian was stunned, because in front of him, Xiao Chen's figure was slowly dissipating.
An afterimage!
Lu Qian was shocked and wanted to retreat, but his vision blurred, and a green-gold palm flashed past.
Bang!
A crisp sound resounded through the stone garden, and the bloody fangs broke into two. They were actually broken by Xiao Chen.
