Chapter 1258 - 1255: Seeking the Demon God Bloodline
Lan Feng believed that his series of attacks just now, even if they didn't kill her, would at least severely injure her, because he was aware that the commotion had likely alerted others in the base.
Without bothering to check the condition of Lan Fenghuang after his attacks, he turned and fled into the distance.
Lan Feng ran as fast as he could, using every ounce of his energy, and only stopped to rest after ensuring he was far away from the base.
Meanwhile, inside the Ghost Gate base, at the place where Lan Feng had just battled Lan Fenghuang, Shura stood with his body fully cloaked. Soon, there was a loud boom, and a petite figure emerged from the dusty ruins.
In a cold voice, Shura asked, "How was it? You failed to stop him, do you admit he's strong?"
The petite figure said as she walked, "Hmph, I was only momentarily negligent, allowing him an opportunity to attack. Next time, I will kill him."
The voice that should have been pure and sweet now sounded chilling and terrifying.
Shura's voice rang out again, "I've told you countless times, failure is failure, no excuses. To become strong, you must learn to face failure, gain experience from it, and overcome it."
"Yes, Shura, I understand," Lan Fenghuang replied.
"Alright, then go back. I have a new task for you." With that, Shura vanished, leaving Lan Fenghuang standing alone, exasperated.
After returning to the hall, Shura spoke to the person seated above, "Sect Leader, I heard the seal has loosened. Is that true?"
When Shura spoke with the leader, it was casual, indicating his strength and prestige within the Ghost Gate.
The person sitting said, "Yes, it might have reached the boundary of the seal. The legendary Demon God is about to be born into the world, and then we will leave the world with fear and darkness." He laughed uncontrollably as he spoke.
However, at that moment, unnoticed by anyone, Shura's eyes, hidden beneath his black robe, emitted a burst of red light.
Turning to Lin Chuan and Mu Qiu, since leaving the site of their battle with Lan Feng, neither spoke.
Lin Chuan kept pondering a question: Who on earth was leading the Ghost Gate organization, and what were their schemes?
And who was that mysterious man in black? Could that enigmatic figure belong to a third organization? Did this third organization have a grudge against the God of Killing Organization, and why did that invisible figure help Lin Chuan?
All of it posed a huge question mark that bewildered Lin Chuan.
Regardless, Lin Chuan had already identified two people with Demon God bloodlines: Mu Qiu and Lan Feng.
Mu Qiu's superpower was very weak; he could only assess the strength and weakness of others without much attack ability. As for Lan Feng, he was uniquely different, possessing the power of wind, rumored to be a first-class expert in the God of Killing Organization, albeit still far behind the top-tier experts.
Unfortunately, Lan Feng wasn't willing to stay with Lin Chuan. Previously, Lan Feng had acted independently, attempting to kill Lin Chuan, but he never expected Lin Chuan's abilities to far exceed his own.
Lin Chuan didn't have any special abilities, but his combat skills were exceptionally strong. Even those with high-level superpowers were no match for him. Of course, Lin Chuan had many enemies, and at least five people could defeat him.
The mysterious invisible figure had once told Lin Chuan that gathering five people with Demon God bloodlines would allow them to challenge the God of Killing Organization.
Lin Chuan was always skeptical of this remark, worried that the mysterious figure might be deceiving them. Yet, despite the doubt, since he said it, Lin Chuan really wanted to find the fourth and fifth bloodline carriers.
"Have you detected any superpower users with Demon God bloodline nearby?" Lin Chuan asked Mu Qiu, whose sensing ability was notably stronger than his own.
Mu Qiu frowned, "Within a ten-mile radius, I don't sense any presence of Demon God bloodline. I estimate they aren't here."
Lin Chuan paused, "If we can't find users out here, maybe we might in the town?"
Mu Qiu nodded, "That's possible. After all, superpower users need to eat and drink and can't live apart from ordinary life. So, it's possible those with Demon God bloodline are in the town."
Seeing Mu Qiu nodding, Lin Chuan mused, "Mu Qiu, let's go check out Qingcheng Town. Perhaps we might find two people with Demon God bloodlines there."
Mu Qiu had no objections. Given the circumstances, leaving Lin Chuan could lead to being hunted by the assassin organization. Staying with Lin Chuan seemed like the safest option.
Mu Qiu never imagined how easy it would be for the assassin organization to kill them if they chose to. As people like Yu Yang and Unstable Child, their threats to Lin Chuan had only been a matter of time.
Lin Chuan suddenly noticed something around him, prompting Mu Qiu to ask, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Lin Chuan scanned the surroundings and replied, "I sense the presence of a superpower user nearby, one that's suspiciously familiar."
As Lin Chuan looked around, he noticed there was no one in sight, perplexed about who it could be.
The newcomer was, as expected, Lan Feng.
"Why have you come? Here to fight us?" Lin Chuan frowned, "If it's a battle you want, we can spar. But if you plan to fight and then run, you'd better leave."
Honestly, Lin Chuan didn't like Lan Feng much, finding him a bit evasive and cryptic in conversation. Lin Chuan typically avoided associating with insincere people.
Lan Feng sighed softly, "I've betrayed the organization, can you take me in?"
At this moment, Lin Chuan could hardly believe his ears. Was this really Lan Feng speaking? Initially, Lin Chuan thought of Lan Feng as arrogant and self-centered. He never expected Lan Feng would bow his head and admit his faults.
