Chapter 289: Chapter 281: The Conspiracy Rises Again! _1

The dense Desolate Ancient Forest lies deep within, with a semi-circular mountain that occupies several hundred miles.

Black clouds linger here, grass and trees are withered, lifeless. Between the cracks of the rocks, white bones are everywhere, and endless shadow energy gathered here. Sometimes low, eerie moaning could be heard, chilling and sorrowful.

Suddenly, a cold wind swept, tearing the thick black mist, clearing the stagnant shadow energy, revealing more corpses and white bones. These are the skeletons of the human tribe, intermixed with some that are much smaller, belonging to the tribe’s young children, and even smaller, obviously newborn babies. There are countless skeletons exposed in this hundred-mile mountain basin, densely packed and unretrieved.

On one side of the mountain basin, a stone cave emanates a dark mouth, emitting a dim light. At this moment, more than ten shadows are flickering under the dim stone lamp in the stone cave.

The stone cave is very damp, and every piece of exposed purplish-brown rock is oozing moisture, giving off a strong smell of blood. Looking around, this oozing dampness is actual undried plasma. A recent massacre must have left this scene behind. The high concentration of cold darkness in the cave enabled it to preserve for a long time, sticking to the surface of the rocks without drying up.

The originally exposed Qing Stone in the stone cave has long been stained red with fresh blood. The dried blood traces are piled layer upon layer. Some areas have even turned dark brown, deep enough to cover the original color of the rock.

"Hehe! So, the arrogant Old Gui Xiong has been beheaded and reduced to ashes!"

On the Blood Skull Chair in the stone cave, a figure with a frail build but bloody red eyes spoke. His voice was unusually sharp, with a hint of schadenfreude.

"That day, Gui Xiong, in order to monopolize a Human War Tribe for blood food, excluded us, the scattered war masters of several major races. He also swallowed the treasure sent by the old man of the Wuyuan Tribe. He didn’t even leave a bowl of soup for my Evil Spirits Tribe, and I brought thousands of boys from my tribe to follow him!"

The grim voice grew gloomier. A cold darkness envelops the Great Hall. The three Ghost Soldiers below trembled uncontrollably under this invisible chill. The leader of the Evil Spirits Clan in front of them, although not as powerful as their Ghost General, was still a formidable force at the peak of the Blood-Refining Realm. Killing them would be as easy as crushing an ant. Their scattered Ghost Soldier division was nearly wiped out. Even the low-ranking Ghost Tribe was running out, and it was uncertain whether they could survive under the siege of the Human War Tribe.

Currently they had no backing, in order to survive they had to align with a new force. The scattered battle unit of the Evil Spirit Tribe before them was their top choice. They had to contend with the questions of the Evil Spirit Clan leader.

"Sir, calm your anger. As you are aware, us scattered soldiers have been having an increasingly hard time recently. The Human Tribe has increased its pursuit of us. It is said that the mid-level Human War Tribe even sent war emissaries to oversee their army. On that day, our Ghost General was pressured by Wuyuan Tribe, we had to go for the safety of us scattered soldiers hidden deep in Desolate Ancient Forest!"

The words of the Evil Spirit Clan leader made the three Ghost Soldiers kneel in panic, trembling non-stop.

"True, sir, that day our Ghost General was indeed under coercion from the old man of the Wuyuan Tribe. We had to rush urgently with our soldiers tens of thousands of miles away to massacre a small human tribe. Why would we bother to travel tens of thousands of miles just to hunt humans for blood food, and the whole army was wiped out!"

"The whole army was wiped out!" The cold voice of Gui Xiong echoed again, followed by endless raucous laughter.

Each sound continually shook the three Ghost Soldiers, fearing a sudden lash out would lead to their death. The current notorious reputation of this Evil Spirit Clan leader was well-known among their scattered foreign battle division. It was built on countless blood and bones. The number of white bones piled up in this hundred-mile-long pit was visible evidence. Moreover, his cruelty was not only towards human prey but also his own tribe. This made the three terrestrial ghost ranks nervous.

"Tell me! What advantage did the old man of the Wuyuan Tribe actually provide to Gui Xiong, enough for him to risk his life and lose himself!"

"Report to our leader, us three have no knowledge of the exact reason due to our low positions, but we have brought the treasure that the old man of the Wuyuan tribe gave to our Ghost General!"

As he finished speaking, a member from the Ghost Tribe took off a blood-red coffin measuring three feet long and two feet wide from his back and respectfully presented it.

"Sire, this is the Blood Coffin, the treasure that the Wuyuan Tribe handed over to our lord!"

The Blood Coffin was crystal clear, with blood-colored light flowing around it. If not for the evil aura it emitted, it would seem like a exquisite work of art.

"What is in this Blood Coffin?"

"Sire, inside is the Divine Medicine Awei!"

What!

Upon hearing this, the other foreign chieftains surrounding Xie Mie couldn’t help but glance sideways, their flaming red eyes were all gazing at the small coffin with blood-colored lights.

It is said that Yuan Stone Spirit Medicine has a price, but Divine Medicine Awei is priceless! This is how precious this Divine Medicine Awei is, pure Awei is hard to find.

"There were rumors in the Great Wasteland that this Wuyuan Tribe defied the Human Tribe to refine Divine Medicine Awei, it turns out to be true, let me open it."

The blood-coloured little coffin slowly opened, revealing the corpse of a human girl inside, her innocent and beautiful face appeared as if she was asleep. A crystal clear drop of blood was at her forehead, her body was emitting a faint blood-colored glow making her look somewhat demonic and unusual.

For Divine Medicine Awei, a female baby born at the darkest hour of the darkest day in the darkest month of every year was used as the catalyst. They would place a shadow energy seed inside her and raise her in a place of absolute darkness, feeding her large amounts of medicinal materials every day, supplemented with extremely toxic substances. At the height of the darkest energy every year, they would ignite the accumulated dark energy in her body, allowing the toxic dark energy to corrode her body and turn her entire body into a human pill - a treasure for some dark attribute cultivators. Because the shadow energy seed condensed around her stomach, it was called Awei, which later evolved into Awei.

"Yes, this Awei has fifty years of medicinal power. Unfortunately, there are some flaws, the shadow energy inside the body has not completely expanded. It has solidified into a mass. For Gui Xiong who is at the peak of the Ghost General realm, the medical effect is still a bit lacking! This Gui Xiong is known for not making a move unless he is certain, there must be other reasons."

Upon hearing Xie Mie’s words, the eyes of several Evil Spirits Tribe chieftains on one side lit up, this Divine Medicine Awei might have negligible medicinal power for a warrior at the peak of the Blood Refining Realm, but for them it was a supreme spiritual pill.

At this time, an Evil Spirit Clan warrior rushed into the cave holding a bronze badge.

"My lord, we found a bronze war badge of the Human Tribe outside the semi-circular mountain."

Xie Mie picked up the bronze war badge and looked at it. The words ’Wu Yuan’ were clearly visible on the badge.

"The three of you go down first. I’m going to meet with the old man from the Wuyuan Tribe and find out why Gui Xiong would travel tens of thousands of miles across the wilderness to slaughter a Human War Tribe!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xie Mie’s figure had already disappeared into the cave.
