David focused his attention on sensing the presence behind him, constantly adjusting his direction and using the terrain to avoid attacks.
He was secretly overjoyed, grateful that he had not rushed in earlier, otherwise he would have been surrounded and unable to escape.
The two ran wildly, relying on their knowledge of the direction of the Holy Sword City and some of David’s brilliant dodging moves at key moments, and finally, after paying the price of some light injuries, they rushed into the city gate of the Holy Sword City in a miserable state.
The devil cultivators chased them all the way to the city gates, but they seemed wary and did not dare to enter the territory of the Holy Sword City. They could only curse a few times outside the city and leave listlessly.
David and Hu Mazi leaned against the city wall, panting, their bodies drenched in sweat, their faces still showing signs of shock.
“Damn, I almost fell there.”
Hu Mazi wiped the dust from his face and said with lingering fear.
Just then, a familiar face stepped closer; it was Ling Xue.
Seeing their messy appearance, he was shocked: “Brother Chen, Teacher Hu, what happened to you two?”
David took a breath and briefly retold what had just happened.
Ling Xue’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this: “Thank goodness you’re all fine. Come with me quickly, my master wants to see you.”
The two followed Ling Xue and arrived at Mo Chen’s courtyard once again.
Mo Chen was sitting at the stone table sipping tea. When he saw them come in, he put down his teacup, glanced at them, and said indifferently, “It seems like you guys went to Black Wind Valley?”
“Yes, Sir.”
David cupped his hands and said, “But something seems to be wrong with Black Wind Valley.”
He told Mo Chen everything he had discovered, including that the devil cultivator’s aura was different from the Evil Path Hall’s aura, and that he had been hunted down after being discovered.
After listening, Mo Chen nodded: “As expected, Black Wind Valley cannot be a branch of the Evil Path Hall.”
“Why?” David asked.
“The devil cultivators in Black Wind Valley belong to the Blood Devil lineage. Their cultivation method involves absorbing the blood of other cultivators to increase their cultivation level. Their methods are cruel, but completely different from the Evil Path Hall’s approach of refining souls.”
Mo Chen explained, “Moreover, the Blood Demon lineage is cruel and vengeful. It is great luck that you managed to escape from them. If you really go inside, you might never come out again.”
David and Hu Mazi exchanged glances, both of them felt a chill run down their spines and a wave of anger welled up inside them.
“So, we were tricked by that information building?”
Hu Mazi angrily said, “That million immortal stones were exchanged for a fake message?”
