Chapter 379: Chapter 255: Scared After! Leader! The Decisive Battle is Coming!
"Master, mission accomplished."
After leaving the black hole space, Chang Qing looked at the Master of Blood Evil and presented the evil blood.
The forbidden journey yielded what he sought, along with unexpected gains.
Now all he needed was to safely exit this precarious forbidden area, and his mission would be complete!
However.
The Master of Blood Evil did not take back the evil blood but instead looked at Chang Qing with satisfaction and laughed:
"Tong Lin, well done."
"Not only did you save a token of inheritance, you also gained a drop of evil blood for free."
"Defeating the strong with the weak, our Blood Evil Forbidden Area has gained some reputation thanks to you."
"Rest assured, today’s feats will be generously rewarded!"
Tong Lin’s formidable battle prowess exceeded the Master of Blood Evil’s expectations.
He didn’t ask what inheritance Tong Lin’s ’armor’ and ’flame’ came from.
After all, it was normal for a genius to have some secrets.
What he needed to do was to firmly tie Tong Lin to the war chariot of the Blood Evil Forbidden Area, and that was enough.
"Thank you, Master!"
Chang Qing feigned a look of joy on his face, then spoke:
"Master, if there’s nothing else, I will take my leave now."
With that, Chang Qing turned to leave the forbidden area.
Unexpectedly, the Master of Blood Evil chuckled and said, "Wait, there is another opportunity waiting for you."
As he finished speaking, he waved his sleeve, and the evil blood fell in front of Chang Qing.
"A great one values you highly, remember to perform well."
Great one?
Chang Qing slightly frowned, feeling no joy for this so-called ’high regard’.
But now, having no control over his situation, he could only brace himself, take the evil blood, and proceed to the back of the grand hall.
...
After a short while, Chang Qing was led to a side hall.
As the door closed, he scanned the room but didn’t see the person he was to meet.
A tall screen divided the room, obscuring what was behind it.
But sensing no hint of darkness from the Human Race aura behind the screen, his brow furrowed.
"A pure Human Race individual, why are they here?"
Before Chang Qing could think further, a deliberately hoarse voice sounded.
"Use your Heaven-Covering Array to seal this place!"
The words were not weighty, but anyone could detect the suppressed anger within.
Hearing these words, Chang Qing’s heart skipped a beat, and sweat appeared on his forehead.
Heaven-Covering Array?
How did this person know he possessed the Heaven-Covering Array?
Had they recognized his true form, or did they believe Tong Lin also had such an array?
With just one sentence, Chang Qing’s thoughts raced, and cold sweat appeared on his body.
It wasn’t that he was cowardly or fearful.
But in this place, once his identity was exposed, it almost certainly meant death!
"Yes, Master!"
Forcing himself to calm down, Chang Qing enveloped the entire room with the Heaven-Covering Array.
Then, he looked towards the screen and said, "Master, I am here to deliver the evil essence..."
Before he could finish speaking, the blood already settled behind the screen.
"Are you the prodigy of the Blood Evil Forbidden Area?" the hoarse voice asked, slightly angry.
"Yes."
Chang Qing nodded in fear and trepidation.
He now felt like a tightrope walker miles high, one misstep leading to an abyss.
"Have you always been cultivating in the Outer Domain?"
"Correct!"
"You’re sure you’ve never been anywhere else before?"
"The master must have mistaken me for someone else..."
Facing the inquiry, Chang Qing remained resolute, steadfastly maintaining his current identity.
No matter how they probed, as long as there was no concrete evidence, he had room to maneuver!
But just as Chang Qing was gaining a little confidence.
One sentence from the other side shattered his defense.
"Haha, never been anywhere, then were the people in Cyan Mountain Village fake?"
Boom!
This sentence landed like a thunderbolt, instantly changing Chang Qing’s expression.
Cyan Mountain Village!
This place, aside from his closest associates, no one knew about it.
Yet now, in this Human Race deadland, a forbidden life zone.
Someone, whom even the Blood Evil addressed as master, had exposed his identity with one word!
The incredible shock rendered Chang Qing momentarily frozen.
"Chang Qing, you’ve hidden well, quietly joining the darkness!"
"Tell me! When did this happen!"
Su Moyan’s voice, full of anger and disappointment, resonated, stirring complex emotions.
Now, he even didn’t know how to relay this information to his father.
Were Su Nan to find out... he might break down, wouldn’t he?
But he couldn’t fathom, Chang Qing had always lived in Cyan Mountain Village, even upon beginning his cultivation, someone always watched over him.
When did he plunge into darkness?
Seeing the dark aura around him just now, it was denser than the Master of Blood Evil’s.
"Who are you?"
Having been called by his name, Chang Qing no longer bothered to pretend.
He could assert that the person behind the screen was someone he knew well.
Yet thinking hard, he couldn’t figure out who would come to this Dark Forbidden Area.
"You haven’t answered my question."
Su Moyan’s voice was icy, "When did you embrace the darkness?"
"I am Human, today I am, and will always be."
"As for that darkness, it’s merely a special technique."
Chang Qing did not conceal it and spoke the truth.
He had the feeling the person on the other side wouldn’t harm him.
Stepping back, if the other person wanted to kill him, they would simply tell the Master of Blood Evil his identity; it would be easier.
"Special technique?"
Upon hearing Chang Qing’s words, Su Moyan’s angry expression froze, visible delight emerging within his eyes.
But then, his brow furrowed again, "Is there such a method in this world?"
