Qin Tiexin collected the man's corpse, put it into a separate Storage Bag, sealed it and tied it tightly. He did not leave immediately, but turned around and returned to the dark cave.
The smell of blood and Sha Qi in the cave was still strong, and the bones were scattered. He found the body of the Shadow Fox that had been sucked dry. At this moment, it had returned to the size of an ordinary fox, with its dry fur sticking to the skeleton, and its eye sockets were sunken. It no longer looked as weird and fierce as before. I don't know what Secret Method the man used to temporarily boost it to the size of a wolf dog.
He also put away the fox corpse, maybe someone from the sect could see some clues from it. Walking to the crevice at the entrance of the cave, he leaned down and carefully picked up the remains of Spirit-Eroding Pill, which had only half melted during the battle and had solidified into a gray-brown medicine block. He scraped it up with a jade piece and put it back into the original medicine bottle. This thing is not easy to refine, and the remaining half of the medicine might be put to use in the future.
After doing all this, he ran Wood Phase Steps and returned in the direction of Maple Creek Village.
When the sky was dimming, he returned to the entrance of the village. He did not go directly into the village, but found a secluded place outside the village. He crossed his legs and adjusted his breath for half an hour. He restored the spiritual energy consumed by running and fighting all the way to 7788, and the pain in his chest was relieved a lot. Then he stood up and walked into the still silent village.
He found the village chief, who had been anxiously guarding the whole night, and informed him that Demon Beast had been eliminated. He took out Shadow Fox's body and placed it on the open space in the village. The shriveled fox corpse made the surrounding villagers fearful and resentful, and they cursed one after another. Several of the people who had lost their loved ones even cried bitterly.
Qin Tiexin did not mention "the man" in the cave, but only said that it was the demon fox who caused trouble. There are some truths that would be of no benefit to mortals, but might cause unnecessary panic.
The villagers were extremely grateful and took out the bacon and grain they had in their homes in order to be rewarded, but Qin Tiexin politely refused. He pondered for a moment, took out a Qi Recovery Pill and a lowest-level Antidote Pill from Storage Bag, found a large jar of clean spring water, put the two elixirs into it, and catalyzed them with spiritual power to evenly distribute the medicine.
The power of the elixir is too overbearing for mortals, and taking it directly is harmful and useless. However, when it is dissolved in a large amount of water, the diluted potency becomes much milder, enough to slowly nourish the yang energy and essence that have been lost due to Shadow Fox, and to resolve some of the remaining yin evil effects in the body.
He asked all the villagers to come in turn, young and old, and each drank a small bowl. The villagers who drank the potion soon had a faint blush on their pale faces, and the sluggishness and fatigue in their eyes also faded a lot, and they all kowtowed again.
After dealing with these, Qin Tiexin stopped staying, said goodbye to the villagers, and embarked on his return journey.
On the way back to the sect, he was in a state of mind. The battle scene in the canyon, the man's strange shape and ability, the behavior of sucking essence, and the rich and evil Blood Sha Qi... kept swirling in his mind. His memories were endless. I have read all kinds of the Flowing Cloud Sect classics, travel notes, and anecdotes, whether they record monks Qi Deviation or describe some rare Demon Beast or alien races, I can't find completely consistent characteristics.
This is anything but ordinary.
However, this trip was not without gain. In addition to completing the task, at least two points were made clear: first, Wu Feng's ability to absorb evil energy is far more domineering and effective than he had imagined before, and it seems that there is some kind of original restraint on that "blood evil energy"; second, "Meteor Star" The actual combat power of these special javelins recorded in the inheritance of "Guns" is extremely impressive, especially the last blow of the explosive gun, which can directly kill such powerful enemies. Unfortunately, the three guns were completely shattered after detonation and could not be repaired. They could only collect materials for forging in the future.
When he returned to the Flowing Cloud Sect, the sun was almost noon. He did not return to Luo Ling Peak, but went directly to the Mission Hall at the foot of the main peak.
There were still people coming and going in the hall. Qin Tiexin went straight to the counter where he received the task that day, and put the task list and his identity token on the table.
The deacon disciple behind the counter looked up and saw that it was Qin Tiexin. He then looked at the words "Mystic Rock Valley Demon Beast" on the task list. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he did not expect him to return so quickly. He took the task list, took out a red pen, and prepared to complete the registration according to the process.
"Wait a minute." Qin Tiexin spoke, his voice steady but with an unquestionable seriousness, "I would like to ask the deacon to pass the message, disciple Qin Tiexin, there is something extremely important that needs to be reported to the elder Mission Hall."
The deacon disciple paused for a moment, then raised his head and took a closer look at Qin Tiexin. Seeing that although he was dusty and still had unwashed blood stains and damage on his robe, his expression was calm and solemn, and his eyes were clear. He was definitely not a joke. Then he saw the jade plaque around his waist that represented inner disciple's identity and had the unique mark of Luo Ling Peak. The deacon disciple nodded.
"Junior Brother Qin Wait a moment." He put down his pen, took out a small messenger jade talisman from his arms, whispered a few words and activated it.
After a while, footsteps sounded at the side door, and an old man wearing a blue-gray elder's clothing, with a clear face and sharp eyes walked out quickly. It was Elder Lü who was on duty at the Mission Hall today.
"What do you need to report to me?" Elder Lü looked at Qin Tiexin with a direct tone. Elder Mission Hall has many things to do. If it is not urgent, he will not be easily asked to see by his disciples.
Qin Tiexin cupped his fists and saluted. "Elder Lü, this matter is very important, can we move it to the back hall?"
Elder Lü frowned slightly and looked Qin Tiexin over. Seeing his calm and firm eyes, he pondered for a moment and nodded, "Follow me."
The two walked through the side door and entered a simply decorated quiet room with soundproofing behind the Mission Hall.
Close the door and activate the restriction. Without saying anything, Qin Tiexin directly took out the Storage Bag containing the corpse from the Storage Bag, untied the tether, and carefully dumped the contents on the prepared stone platform aside.
Dark red stumps, broken bone horns, bloody hairless wings, and the head with a ferocious face... appeared before Elder Lü's eyes in an instant.
It was rich, and even though most of it had been absorbed by Edgeless, there was still a trace of peculiar bloody smell and coldness that lingered in the quiet room.
Elder Lü He was a little confused at first, but when his eyes fell on the broken horns, dark green skin, black lines, and the structure of the flesh wings that were very different from human beings, his expression suddenly changed! He took two steps forward suddenly, almost lying in front of the stone platform, his hands trembled, but he didn't dare to really touch them. He just widened his eyes and got closer to stare at those features, especially the broken and intact bone corners on the forehead.
"This... this is..." His voice trembled slightly due to extreme shock. He stood up suddenly and looked at Qin Tiexin, his eyes filled with disbelief, "Devil Race?!"
These two words seemed to hit the quiet room with the weight of Thousand Jun.
Elder Lü could no longer care about anything else and hurriedly said to Qin Tiexin, "Wait here! Don't leave even a step!" After saying that, he turned and rushed out of the quiet room. He didn't even have time to close the door, and his figure quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor, obviously going to report to a higher-level person.
It turns out that it is Devil Race!
Qin Tiexin stood there, quietly looking at the corpse on the stone platform. Elder Lü's reaction confirmed his suspicion - the origin of this thing is indeed extraordinary.
After a while.
An indescribable majestic pressure quietly enveloped the entire Mission Hall back hall area like a silent tide. It was not a deliberate oppression, but its very existence made the air thicken. All noise disappeared instantly.
The door to the quiet room was pushed open silently.
A young man wearing a moon-white robe, with a face that looked to be only in his twenties, handsome and handsome, but with eyes as deep as ancient wells, as if containing endless years and sword intent, walked slowly in.
There is no aura shining around him, but he seems to have his own brilliance, which makes people dare not look directly at him. He is the contemporary sect leader of the Flowing Cloud Sect, the great monk Golden Core Peak - True Person Jianyun.
True Person Jianyun's eyes immediately fell on the stone platform. He approached slowly, his expression calm, but Qin Tiexin was keenly aware that the light in the sect leader's deep eyes condensed for a moment when he saw the characteristics of the corpse clearly.
He did not lose his composure like Elder Lü, but quietly and very carefully inspected each piece of debris, especially the cross-section at the broken corners, the lines under the skin, the bone structure and connection of the flesh wings. There was even a trace of undetectable Sword Qi on his fingertips, and he lightly scratched a certain dark blue skin.
After a moment, True Person Jianyun raised his head and his eyes fell on Qin Tiexin. His eyes were calm, but with the power to penetrate people's hearts.
"Are you a disciple of Luo Ling?" True Person Jianyun's voice was clear and clear, and not much emotion could be heard.
Qin Tiexin bowed and saluted, his posture was respectful but not humble. "Disciple Qin Tiexin, pay homage to the sect master."
True Person Jianyun nodded slightly and motioned for him to stand up. "Tell me in detail, where you found it and how you fought. Don't miss any details."
Qin Tiexin calmed down and began to describe in a clear manner: from receiving the mission, arriving at Maple Creek Village noticed the abnormality in the villagers, followed Shadow Fox and found the cave, the man in the cave controlled the demon fox to suck the essence, and he was The battle after discovery... includes the gradual changes in the opponent's physical characteristics, the weird Blood Sha Qi, the powerful body and recovery ability, and finally the opponent's back-growing flesh wings, changes in strength, and the process of being killed by him remotely with a javelin after fleeing desperately.
He described the story objectively and only stated the facts. However, he did not mention the key details of Edgeless's absorption of Sha Qi, which caused the opponent's strength to decline. He only said that the opponent's strength seemed to be unstable, that he might have been seriously injured, and his aura fluctuated greatly during the battle, so he was lucky enough to seize the opportunity.
True Person Jianyun listened quietly without saying a word, but his eyes occasionally paused on Qin Tiexin, as if judging the authenticity and completeness of his words.
After Qin Tiexin finished speaking, True Person Jianyun was silent for a moment. You could hear a needle drop in the quiet room.
"This is a Blood Devil." True Person Jianyun finally spoke, his voice still calm, but the words he spoke were as heavy as a mountain, "Devil Race is a race with a high status. It is born to control and absorb. The creature-eating spirit Essence Blood strengthens its body and grows wings on its back. If the adult Blood Devil reaches the Devil Marshal level, its hand-to-hand combat power can compete with the physical strength of our human race Golden Core."
He glanced at the corpse on the stone platform again. "The one you encountered, judging from the length of its bone angles and the initial state of its wing roots, should have just broken through to the 'Demon General' realm, which is equivalent to our human race Foundation Establishment. The wings on its back were torn and broken by strong force, leaving serious injuries. The realm has fallen, and its strength has been reduced, so you have the opportunity to take advantage of it."
True Person Jianyun paused and looked at Qin Tiexin, with an unclear meaning in his eyes. "Otherwise, with the ability of a complete Demon General level Blood Devil, even if you are a newbie, you will never be able to defeat the disciples of Qi Refining."
He didn't say anything else. But the meaning was very clear - if Blood Devil was in its prime, Qin Tiexin would have no chance of surviving.
"This matter," True Person Jianyun's tone turned solemn, "Don't mention it to anyone yet, including fellow disciples. Remember, it's anyone."
Qin Tiexin responded solemnly, "Disciple understands."
True Person Jianyun nodded and said no more. He took out an ancient jade communication talisman, moved his lips slightly, and seemed to transmit several messages as Secret Method. Then, he rolled up his robe sleeves and put the corpse on the stone platform back into the Storage Bag.
Almost at the same moment, from the direction of the mountain behind the main peak, a clear and clear sound like a dragon's roar resounded through the sky! A brilliant, pure and concise silver sword light rose into the sky, breaking through the clouds in the blink of an eye, and hovering over Mission Hall. Sharpness's unparalleled sword intent was not released, but it made the disciples for miles around feel a chill in their hearts.
That is True Person Jianyun's natal flying sword--Startling Cloud.
True Person Jianyun stepped out of the quiet room and appeared in the courtyard. With a tap of his toes, he landed on the hovering silver giant sword. The silver sword light paused for a moment, then turned into a rainbow that stretched across the sky, wrapped around True Person Jianyun, and shot towards the due north at a speed far beyond the imagination of the ordinary Golden Core monk, and disappeared at the end of the sky in the blink of an eye.
In place, there was only a subtle message that was transmitted directly into the ears of Qin Tiexin and Elder Lü who hurried back. "Strictly guard this matter and wait for my return."
Qin Tiexin walked out of the quiet room and came to the door of the Mission Hall, looking up at the northern sky where the sword light disappeared.
In his heart, there was a dull premonition that the storm was about to come. This unexpected discovery of "Blood Devil" from the north was probably... just the beginning.
