Chapter 125: Saving the Arrogant, Heartless Blood Hunter 20

Back then, after Li En confirmed his relationship with Xiustun, he originally wanted to abandon his Demon Faction identity; he had never wanted to be enemies with the Secret Faction, but was discovered by his father, the Dark Clan King, who sent a messenger with poison and a poisoned dagger.

This kind of deadly poison would have a devastating effect on the blood clan's body; Li En couldn't bring himself to do it, but if he didn't kill Xiustun, the Dark King would kill his own mother.

She was merely an innocent human imprisoned in the Demon Faction's stronghold.

For his mother, Li En had no choice but to return.

While escaping, under the watch of a Demon Faction messenger, Li En swapped the dagger containing deadly poison, hid it in his bosom, and used a clean dagger to stab Xiustun, to cover up the truth.

However, the poison on the dagger, even if only touching the skin, would have an effect; after returning to the stronghold, Li En began to show symptoms of poisoning, which the Dark King noticed, and also discovered that Li En had secretly released the imprisoned human, directly branding him a traitor.

Afterwards, Li En, tormented daily by the seal, never left the prison for a hundred years.

Only two weeks ago, the Dark King had already forgotten this son of his, and the seal lost its effect; Li En spent a week recovering his body, intending to go find Xiustun.

By chance, he saw a Demon Faction member who looked exactly like Lansiluote, and discovered they intended to use the altar of Nether Slaughter Island to slaughter all human families around the Secret Faction and Nether Moon Forest.

Therefore, after weighing the options, Li En could only rush to Nether Slaughter Island first, never expecting to actually encounter Xiustun.

…That's how it was.

Li En finished speaking, tears blurring his vision as he lifted his head to look up at Xiustun.

I really never intended to harm you, never……

Xiustun was already heartbroken beyond measure.

His palm trembled, his breath sank a little, he encircled her slender waist, forcefully pulling her into his embrace, lowering his head, and kissed Li En's lips.

Li En felt the familiar touch, his soft, fair fingers gripping Xiustun's clothing tightly until his knuckles turned red.

Sorry……

Xiustun dared not imagine how Li En had spent these hundred years.

He pressed his forehead against Li En's, his tone so gentle as if afraid the person would shatter. 'Sorry, Li En.'

Not far away, Jin Chen and Chu Tang, having heard the whole exchange, glanced at each other.

Chu Tang: 'The Demon Faction is truly hateful!'

He secretly wondered, why would the Chu family insist that the killer of their parents was in the Secret Faction, when everything pointed to the Demon Faction's doing.

But the Chu family, being Blood Hunter Clan, could it already be allied with the Demon Faction? Or are they deliberately misleading me to find the wrong culprit?

The growing mysteries made his mind more tangled, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

Here, the two finally stabilized their emotions temporarily, thinking that the matter at hand was urgent; after settling the Nether Slaughter Island affair, addressing the emotional issues would not be too late.

Lansiluote, come over.

Xiustun called.

Jin Chen tapped Chu Tang's forehead, 'Come on, Tangtang, what are you thinking about, furrowing your brows so tightly.'

I know.

Chu Tang temporarily set aside his doubts; perhaps all these doubts would be resolved once he finds the culprit in Nether Slaughter Island.

Li En again restored his smiling expression, and whether he had cleared up the misunderstanding with Xiustun, he was very happy.

He greeted Chu Tang, 'Hey there, Lansiluote's little boyfriend.'

Chu Tang blushed slightly, 'I'm not his boyfriend!'

Oh, Lansiluote, you're no good; after finally developing feelings, how can you still fail to win them over?

Li En leaned in Xiustun's embrace, shaking his head with a sigh.

Jin Chen sighed as if heartbroken, 'Chu Tang is hard to pursue; I can't do anything about it.'

Shut up!

Chu Tang bared his teeth at him, considering himself fierce.

Alright, let's talk about the main matter.

Xiustun interrupted the two of them.

I sensed in the palace that Nether Slaughter Island has appeared a blind spot in consciousness; the location is precisely the altar to the south, and according to what Li En said, it should be where the Demon Faction is operating.

I met this person last night.

Jin Chen said, 'I followed him for a while; that place is very strange, and there is also a formation.'

Let's go, let's take a look.

Chu Tang once again subtly released the sensing of the Soul-Capturing Bell, having a premonition that perhaps this Demon Faction bloodline is the culprit.

The four walked side by side toward the south.

Lost in thought, Chu Tang did not notice Li En's doubtful gaze directed at him.

——

At this point, it was already approaching noon, yet upon reaching the site of the altar, it remained dim; this feeling was extremely disjointed, as if suddenly arriving in another world.

At the moment of arrival, Xiustun felt that the altar's formation had been altered, as well as the bloody smell in the air up to now.

Meanwhile, Chu Tang felt the fluctuation of the Soul-Capturing Bell, an intensity never before experienced.

Huff… huff…

Suddenly, a fierce wind rose, leaves rustled, and fallen leaves on the ground were swept up, fluttering in the air.

Visible thick black mist surrounded the four.

In the place where the black mist was thickest, appeared a person that Chu Tang and Jin Chen did not expect.

This morning, Chu Yun, who should have died.

0731 was greatly shocked!

【……Host, the plot has now completely deviated from the original; you're on your own!】

Jin Chen shielded Chu Tang, his eyes probing.

Just then, from inside the passage came the grinding sound of stones as the formation activated.

Xiusidun: "Not good, that person is going to activate the altered formation."

Lien quickly said: "You and Lansiluote go in and resolve this; we'll handle this!"

After he spoke, his sharp teeth immediately appeared, and a dark hue flashed in his red pupils.

"Okay, be careful."

Jin Chen looked at Chutang, who nodded, "I can; if I can't kill him once, I can kill him a second time."

He also glanced at Chuyun; there was no other aura around; Jin Chen relaxed a little, and together with Xiusidun he rushed into the passage.

0731 also became nervous because of this atmosphere.

It kept flying around in the System Space, and in its peripheral vision it suddenly caught sight of the elf in the examination room on the edge screen.

The elf seemed to have received some summoning, its body filled with black mist, and it suddenly flew toward the south.

0731:!!

Sure enough, there's a problem!

【Host! The elf in the examination room is also related to the demon party! It's coming this way!】

【Keep an eye on it, and broadcast its position at any time.】

【Understood!】

Inside the passage.

A black shadow stood at the center of the altar, ancient mysterious blood-red runes lined up around him, making him look extremely eerie.

And the person who activated the formation was obviously the humans he had captured from everywhere, and even included the young men and women participating in this selection.

Xiusidun's expression was filled with extreme chill.

Doing this under his nose is tantamount to provoking the entire secret party.

He raised his arm, and the surging power turned into a giant snake, charging toward the black shadow.

"Who exactly are you!"

Xiusidun asked in a cold voice.

Jin Chen took advantage of the black shadow's diverted attention, rushed under the giant rock, condensed spiritual power in his palm, and struck down fiercely.

The humans bound by black mist in midair fell one after another; they had already been drained of vitality and blood, and the moment they hit the ground, their bodies split apart.

The black shadow was scattered by Xiusidun's strike.

Xiusidun's face changed drastically.

"Not good! This is just an empty shell! His soul isn't here!"
