Chapter 19 - Corrupt? Demonic?
"Bro… ther…Chan…" Du Chan heard a weak voice. He slowly raised his head from the ground and when he saw Zho Rong opening his eyes and speaking, his void eyes started to show emotions and tears started to drip from them. He moved to Zho Rong fast, picked him up and fed him a pill.
"Fatty...you're still alive…" he said while tears flowing through his eyes.
"Brother...chan… I- I couldn't protect Auntie" Zho Rong said while crying.
"It's ok...you're still alive that enough" he said
"No…those guys killed auntie in front of me, and I watched them doing it, I feel I should have died" Zho Rong kept crying.
Du Chan didn't know what to say so he picked the head of the bandit and put that in front of him.
"I killed him"
"Haha" he formed a slight smile, "I knew my brother would kill them" Zho Rong shouted happily
After laughing for some time he became sad again.
"But...auntie is still dead!"
"Rest, we will leave after you recover" Du Chan wiped away the tears and stood up. He thought he should stop thinking about it.
Zho Rong started to recover; he had a big scar on his chest. The sword should have reached his heart but god knows how he survived that attack.
Du Chan dug a grave for Gu auntie and took a big rock and wrote her name on it with his dagger.
Zho Rong recovered very fast. Both of them buried Gu Auntie when he did and threw that bandit's body and head aside and started to return to the medical sect.
After both of them left, a group of 20 members came into the village. All were wearing black robes and their faces were covered with a black cloth with only a gap between the eyes. All of them came to the middle of the village and drew a strange symbol on the ground with a liquid. It looks like the blood of beasts.
After drawing it, all of them began murmured something. And the whole village shook and a white energy came out from the corpses and skeletons. All the white energy gathered in the middle of the symbol and a guy opened a bottle.
There were many symbols on that bottle. The white energy started to enter the bottle. After some time the whole energy entered the bottle.
"Senior, how many souls did we collect this time?" A guy asked.
"Almost 520 souls" the senior said.
"Hmm, next we need to attack the big village"
"Yeah, but I lost contact with the boss of these bandits," the senior said.
"That means he is dead?" The guy said.
"Yup, I think those bandits died in the west so let's collect them too" the senior said.
"Hahaha, nice I think we will get rewarded from the sect" that guy was laughing.
"Hehe, yeah"
"Then let's go and collect them" the guy started to move towards the west.
Everyone followed him without saying a thing, even the other seniors.
When they reached the desert, they were shocked that there were only some corpses and that they were only Body Training realm people too.
"This...what happened here" that guy asked.
"There are no beasts around here, I think someone from the Blood Condensation realm did it" the senior said.
"But the boss of these guys is also a Blood Condensation realm and some of them are in that realm right? How can they die like this?"
"Even though they are in that realm they don't have any techniques and they don't know any concepts so they are not a match against real strength"
"Ohh! Okay, then what about the corpses, where did they go? There should be at least 400 of them!" That guy asked.
"I don't understand how this happened, I can clearly know that their boss died here but his body is nowhere to be found" the senior said.
"This….we should report this to sect. If the information is leaked then we will be in trouble" that guy said while sweating.
"Yes, but first use the array and collect the souls, even if their body is not here they should have died here so their souls should be!"
"Okay" he said and all of them drew that array the same way they drew it back in the village.
After they murmured the incantation, the white energy started to gather but it was a very small amount and the senior collected it in the bottle.
"Senior….what is this" that guy asked
"There are only 20 or so souls here that's all" the senior said. There was fear in his voice.
"How is that possible? How can the person take the souls too?"
"This is a very important matter, we should first report this to the sect" the senior looked at them, all nodded back so he shouted.
"COME"
Two big birds came, they climbed on it and vanished in the sky.
***************
Zho Rong was silent. He didn't speak anything. Du Chan looked at him, placed his hand on his shoulder and smiled. Seeing him smiling, Zho Rong also smiled back.
Both of them reached the northern forest.
"Fatty, let's eat a beast. It's good"
"Sure"
Du Chan caught 2 boar-like beasts. Both were first tier beasts and roasted well. The meat's aroma attracted some more beast so Du Chan killed them all too. Both ate and filled their stomachs.
"Fatty, sorry to say this but I will be leaving tomorrow morning to a sect" Du Chan said with a low voice.
Zho Rong looked at him and smiled.
"Sure"
He knew that his brother wouldn't abandon him, that's why he didn't even ask the reason.
"Stay in the medical sect and when you reach the late Body Training realm, enter the sect" he explained
"Ohh, okay brother Chan" fatty said.
"Brother Chan, what sect are you going to join?"
"Extreme Martial Sect"
"Is that a good sect?" he asked.
"Who knows, but the sect master said it's one of the strongest sects in the whole Sky Dragon continent"
"Sky Dragon continent?"
"Haha, I was shocked too. We didn't know anything about it but there is a very big world outside" Du Chan explained while laughing.
"Ohh, can you tell me some brother" he asked
"Sure, this is a kingdom in the sky dragon continent…." He started to explain the things he knew and told him about the battle with the geniuses in the celebration.
Zho Rong was surprised to hear about these things.
"I asked the elder from that sect, he told me that only people who were in the late stages of the Body Training realm could enter!"
"Hmm, it is ok brother. I will get there in no time" Zho Rong said.
Du Chan looked at him and checked his realm.
"FATTY HOW ARE YOU AT 3RD STAGE OF THE BODY TRAINING REALM"
"Huh? I was in the second stage before?" Zho Rong said
"Then...How?" Du Chan asked. He was shocked it's not been so long since he broke through and already reached 3rd stage.
"I don't know" he said with a shock on his face, even though he realized it now.
Du Chan looked at him strangely. The injury on his chest was already healed. He thought Zho Rong also had a unique body. Because even after having an injury near the heart he was still alive so breaking through a stage was not normal.
"Okay when we reach the sect, let's ask Elder Yue about it" he settled because even if he thought about it, he wouldn't find any answers.
"Okay" Zho Rong said.
"Then let's continue our journey" he stood up, Zho Rong nodded and followed him.
Both reached the sect in the middle of the night. Elder Yue was not present in the sect so both of them entered Du Chan's room and slept. They were exhausted because of the journey.
In the morning, Elder Yue was sitting at a table while his eyes were closed and breakfast was in front of him.
Du Chan and Zho Rong freshened up and came to him.
"Good Morning Elder Yue" Du Chan greeted
"G-Good Morning Elder" Zho Rong also greeted him.
Elder Yue opened his eyes and looked at both of them.
"Huh? What happened?" Elder Yue asked them.
"Hmm?" He doesn't understand what Elder asked.
"Why is there so much killing intent in your eyes around you, how many did you kill?" Elder Yue asked
"That's…." Du Chan talked about the massacre he did in the west desert. And then about what happened to the village.
"Ohh! I understand why you have had such a death aura around you" Elder Yue said with surprise.
"Elder Yue, I want to know something" Du Chan asked.
"Hmm, go ahead" Elder Yue said.
"When I asked that bandit boss why he did that, he told me it was someone else's order. So if Elder knows who are those people then please tell me"
"Of course I know them" he said.
When Du Chan heard it, his blood started to boil.
"Calm down. Even if I tell you their name, what are you going to do? You're sooo weak that if they see you, they can kill you with a single finger haha" Elder Yue said when he saw Du Chan's face was red with anger.
Du Chan calmed himself down forcefully. He could feel some emotions now; it was not like before but he came back to his senses. Zho Rong, who was beside him, was so angry that he would explode anytime.
"Fatty cool down. When we get stronger we will slaughter them all" Du Chan calmed him down too.
"Hmm" Zho Rong also did his best to hold his anger.
Elder Yue looked at them and secretly laughed, but stopped when Du Chan looked back at him.
"Wow, you really have fine eyes!" Elder Yue said.
"Elder, please tell us those guys' names" Du Chan asked of him seriously.
"Hehe, those people are from the corrupt path and the demonic path sects"
"Corrupt path? Demonic path?" Du Chan repeated.
"Yeah, there are three main paths that decide who you are in this world.
•Righteous path
•Demonic path
•Corrupt path
These are the paths…...
