Chapter 17: The Intervention of a Saint

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“This…”

The people who had thought that the ghost crows were just so-so were now really dumbfounded.

All they saw were white ghost flames. This was not a simple flame, but a terrifying flame that could burn through the skin and burn the internal organs.

With this many flames, as ordinary fire, it would have been enough to burn them into charcoal. And these were white ghost flames.

“See? If you go in later, you must not let your guard down. As disciples of the Zoroastrianism sect, you should know how terrifying the forest white ghost fire will be when it joins together!”

The Envoy of Fire immediately turned his head and reprimanded the disciples behind him.

The other elders such as Elder Wenjian and the Blood Fiend Sect Master were also beginning to teach their disciples what to do after going in.

These itinerant cultivators wouldn’t be of much use in the future, so they were all preparing for this, planning to let their own disciples give it a try.

Moreover, these disciples were only outer sect disciples, so they weren’t very important.

To these sects, they could be considered cannon fodder to explore the way. It’s just that as cannon fodder they were still more useful than these itinerant cultivators.

At this moment, in the mystic realm.

Faced with the Ghost Crows’ suicidal attacks, in just a few breaths time, they had already lost more than a few people.

Moreover, this number was still rising.

Almost everyone felt that they were doomed without a doubt.

“Big Brother, you go first!”

“Sister-in-law and nephew are still waiting for you! You absolutely must not be harmed!!”

As Zhao Erhu and Zhao Xiaohu spoke, they reached out their hands and wanted Zhao Dahu to throw them out of the Ghost Crows’encirclement.

“You three brothers should be able to deal with the iron-armored corpse inside, right?”

Just as they were about to make their move, a question suddenly came and interrupted their movements.

“Who are you?!”

Zhao Dahu took the opportunity to break free from the restraints of his two brothers. He looked at the mysterious man wearing a bronze mask in front of him with a vigilant expression.

“Let me ask you, are you able to deal with the iron-armored corpses in the Zombie Cave?”

The mysterious man stretched out his hand to support his bronze mask and asked again.

Zhao Dahu looked at something with a strange expression. Was there such a person in his team?

As a cultivator, Zhao Dahu did not dare to say that he had a photographic memory, but his memory could be considered very good.

However, he could not recall if there was such a person in his team?

However, Zhao Dahu still nodded. “Of course! Our target is those armored corpses and the corpse-raising coffins!”

“That’s good.”

The mysterious man nodded, but before he could say anything, a swollen ghost crow rushed towards him with a shrill cry.

“Dang… Heart!”

Zhao Dahu wanted to remind him, but he saw the mysterious man take out a dark blue bead before he could finish. Immediately, the Ghost Crow turned around and ran as if it had seen its natural enemy.

Then, it was burned to ashes in the air.

The other Ghost Crows and even the ghastly white ghost flame on the ground dispersed at this moment as if they had come back to life. They did not dare to approach the mysterious man.

“This is..?”

Those who were still alive raised their heads to look at the man, their eyes full of surprise and astonishment.

Who is this person? Did we have this person? Why are these Ghost Crows all avoiding him?? Even the forest white ghost flames are avoiding him?!

“Who the hell are you?!”

Zhao Dahu looked at the mysterious person in front of him, and alarm bells immediately went off in his heart.

This person is very dangerous!

Zhao Dahu turned his head slightly to look behind him, then immediately took two steps back and looked at this person with a guarded expression.

“You can call me Mr. Xu. I’m also here to explore this secret realm.”

Mr. Xu raised his hand to support his mask. Then, he looked around and said, “These people are enough for now. Follow me in.”

After saying that, Mr. Xu turned around and walked into the cave. The Ghost Crows around him all stepped back and didn’t dare to get close to Mr. Xu. Or rather, they didn’t dare to get close to the bead in Mr. Xu’s hand.

“This person…”

Zhao Dahu’s pupils slightly trembled, and he couldn’t help but think of a possibility.

“You…”

“Huh?”

Mr. Xu slightly turned his head to look at Zhao Dahu, as if waiting for Zhao Dahu’s question.

“You deliberately watched these people die? Why did you do that?!”

Zhao Dahu took a deep breath, trying to suppress the fear in his heart, but his tone still carried some nervousness.

“Because the weak don’t deserve the treasures here, and I don’t need so many burdens.”

After saying that, Mister Xu walked straight into the cave.

As he left step by step, the Ghost Crows in the surroundings started to get restless again.

The remaining people were so scared that they couldn’t care less about their resentment towards Mister Xu and hurriedly chased after him.

“Big Brother…”

Zhao Erhu and Zhao Xiaohu also came to Zhao Dahu’s side and looked at him. It was obvious that the three brothers shared the glory and disgrace, and everyone followed Zhao Dahu.

“Let’s follow him.”

Zhao Dahu sighed helplessly, but a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes. “We’ll talk about it after we enter the cave.”

“Okay!”

The two of them nodded in unison and looked at the somewhat strange figure with fierce expressions.

…

“Fire repelling pearl? I really didn’t expect that there would be such a treasure among a group of itinerant cultivators.”

The Envoy of Fire looked at the pearl in Mr. Xu’s hand and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Someone actually used the fire repelling pearl in front of the Zoroastrianism sect?! Wasn’t this courting death?!

As the name implied, the fire repelling pearl was a type of pearl that could make flames and even fire-type demonic beasts avoid it.

The higher the level of the fire repelling pearl, the stronger the flames it could avoid.

It was said that there was even a fire repelling pearl in the world that could avoid all flames. As long as one had this fire repelling pearl, even if it was the first wisp of fire that was born in the world, the ancestral fire would be useless against it.

Therefore, as a professional fire element cultivator, the Zoroastrianism sect, which regarded worshipping flames as their first doctrine, wanted to kill Mister Xu the moment they saw him using the fire repelling pearl and snatch it away.

“This person is quite mysterious. Even the old Taoist didn’t notice that there was such a person among the itinerant cultivators. Envoy of Fire, please calm down and don’t be hasty.”

White Bone Taoist stared at Mr. Xu in the mirror. He felt that the more he looked at him, the stranger he became.

He kept feeling that this person was indescribably strange. It was as if this person wasn’t even a living person!

Suddenly, White Bone Taoist couldn’t help but tremble. His eyes were filled with shock and astonishment.

In the mirror, that so-called Mr. Xu actually turned around and smiled at the mirror?

How did he know which person’s perspective I’m using?

Could it be that he knows spiritual vision better than I do?

Who exactly is this Mr. Xu?!

As the number one cultivator in the far north, White Bone Taoist broke out in cold sweat, something he had not experienced for a long time.

Under such circumstances, he could only think of one possibility.

‘Did a saint intervene?’
