Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 706 - Chapter 706 Chapter 586 Reaping

Chapter 706: Chapter 586 Reaping Chapter 706: Chapter 586 Reaping Roger could feel the surging power of Essence Blood from the body of Sword Master Funiu, mixed with the fluctuations of Spiritual Power.

Without the Hunter’s Cabin, normal bloodlines naturally couldn’t continue their legacy in this land, so they had to find another way.

In other words, all the descendants from the Sword Pavilion who had the Funiu Guardian Spirit on Qinglu Mountain shared the same bloodline.

The majority of them were very likely siblings.

Every year, women who met the criteria were sent to the mountain top; they appeared here as tools, their sole purpose to conceive and give birth to offspring with the faint power of the Essence Blood.

The pregnant women would then be taken away, and the children born would be raised as orphans.

In this process, there would also be complex selection, until finally, those who passed through layers of testing could appear on Qinglu Mountain as successors.

Perhaps there were things that Roger didn’t know hidden amidst it all, bloody suppression, or the completely inhumane eradication of them.

To survive here and grow to the current size, they must have paid an unimaginable price.

“When did you come here?”

Roger couldn’t help but ask.

“It’s already been a matter of hundreds of years. We lost in the bloodline wars, and the Dragonborn became the undisputed leaders. They were domineering and oppressive, and to avoid being completely eradicated, we had to escape from that place.”

“During this process, countless clansmen lost their lives, and what’s more terrible is that many of the elders who luckily passed through the world rifts exhausted their lives in a short time under the pressure of the world rules.”

“World rifts?”

“I think you should know, all the worlds that we see now were once part of the Shadow World a long time ago. Even today, although the Shadow World has been shattered for a very long time, it still maintains a faint connection.”

“Through these connections, it’s possible to traverse different worlds!”

Sword Master Funiu explained.

“To be honest, over these many years, we’ve also thought about planning to return to our own world, but it’s too difficult.”

“After hundreds of years of development, with the power of the Dragonborn, they probably have complete control over that world, and we don’t stand a chance.”

“However… if Sword Master Cold Crow’s plan succeeds, perhaps things could change.”

Sword Master Funiu spread his hands, and at this point, the Essence Blood from Yuan Guanghai had been absorbed, causing a change in the blue stone; its surface glow became more subdued.

“Take it to Sword Master Cold Crow, hoping the next time I can see a true Spirit Sword!”

Roger knew that Sword Master Funiu’s decision to cooperate with Hankawa was not because he was moved by what Sword Master Cold Crow offered.

More importantly, it was because of the secret that Sword Master Cold Crow was privy to.

They had no choice because handing over the Spirit Skill would mean exposing everything about themselves.

Roger safely stowed away the blue stone.

Before leaving, he heard Sword Master Funiu’s cautionary advice, “Hide your identity well, once you provoke certain people, even Sword Master Cold Crow can’t save you.”

“Certain people?”

Sword Master Funiu didn’t wish to discuss more and gestured for Roger to leave.

Back under the open sky, Miyanori Chiyoko was already waiting for Roger not far away.

“Heal your wounds and go down the mountain. It won’t take long for the fight just now to spread, and I think the next one to challenge you won’t be like the trash from earlier.”

“No one wants a second Sword Master to appear in Hankawa, in fact, many have been waiting for that terrifying person to die a natural death.”

“Without having lived in that era, you wouldn’t understand.”

Roger nodded, not saying much.

“About Red Sparrow, did he… Did Sword Master Funiu ask about it?”

“No.”

Miyanori Chiyoko visibly relaxed.

She turned and walked up the mountain, “I hope the next time we meet, you have the qualifications to discuss the rules with me.”

A little farther away, Roger saw the worn out woman.

She was standing under a tree, the shadow covering most of her body, and even though the sun was shining brightly, it couldn’t dispel the darkness in the woman’s eyes.

In that moment, Roger suddenly felt that perhaps allowing Red Sparrow to live was the biggest mistake of Miyanori Chiyoko’s life.

Back at the temporary residence, right at the doorstep, Roger saw an excited Higurashi Chika.

“I’ve already heard about the fight, I really wish I could have been there!”

Higurashi Chika was full of fighting spirit.

“Let’s go, we need to leave this place.”

“Are we going back?” Higurashi Chika hadn’t expected their journey to end so quickly.

“Sort of.”

Roger vaguely replied, intending to find an opportunity on the way back to let Higurashi Chika disappear properly, then he would think of a way to deal with the hidden danger in her body.

Continuing to stay by his side was just too dangerous.

Higurashi Chika didn’t say anything, she went inside to pack her bags, and without anyone to send them off, the two of them left Qinglu Mountain through a side gate.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, Roger took one last look at the towering peak above him, knowing the Atlas family must still be hiding many secrets, it’s just that with his current status, he wasn’t qualified to be involved.

“Shall we return the way we came?”

Higurashi Chika asked.

“No, to Black Tail City!”

The killing intent in Roger’s eyes flashed and then disappeared, “Before we leave, there’s one last thing I need to do!”

Night fell, in a small village near Black Tail City.

Securing the doors and windows, Roger’s mind moved, and in the next instant, his body had already appeared inside a house on Qinglu Mountain.

His body twisted, his bones made a series of dense sounds, his stature abruptly grew taller, and the mask on his face flashed and was already replaced by another face.
