Chapter 106 Ch 106: Fu Cheng’s Story
For a short while, Ye Xiao and the middle-aged man kept staring at each other.
Ye Xiao clearly heard the blatant threat in the middle-aged man’s voice. The middle-aged man wanted Ye Xiao to work for him, and if Ye Xiao did not agree, he will force Ye Xiao to do that.
However, how could Ye Xiao be that easy to bully?
But there were still a few things he wanted to be sure of, thus he avoided using his trump card that might indeed end the middle-aged man’s life even though the middle-aged man is a Major Saint.
“When I was cultivating in the pond, I encountered two girls. They are Xue Yu and Yan Mulan from the Blood Shadow Tower.”
As Ye Xiao spoke, he observed the middle-aged man’s expression closely and could see a hint of surprise on his face. It seems what he thought was right. Thus, Ye Xiao continued, “Later, I again encountered two other men from the Blood Shadow Tower. It is just that, unlike the two girls, those two men were Chaos Spirit Realm warriors. Their names were Lu Ming and Ming Jie… I think. Anyway, including those two people, I had already met four people from the Blood Shadow Tower.”
“Though I killed Ming Jie because he deserved death for wanting to kill me, I spared Lu Ming. It is not because I was being benevolent. No. It is because I wanted to know how he and Ming Jie were able to enter the Red Star Secret Realm when the rules of the secret realm clearly restrict Chaos Spirit Realm warriors’ entry.”
“It is just that I was slightly busy at that time, thus I never found the opportunity to look for Lu Ming again.”
“After that, I was teleported here when I dived deeper into the pond with the intention of finding the treasure responsible for boosting warriors’ comprehensive ability by many times. When I was teleported here, I again encountered many Chaos Spirit Realm warriors. Although I don’t know where they came from, their abilities told me that every single one of them was an assassin. And as far as I know, Blood Shadow Tower nurtures assassins. Coupled with the fact that I had already encountered four of them even before I was teleported here, I’m sure those other Chaos Spirit Realm warriors all come from the Blood Shadow Tower.”
“And finally, I met you, a Major Saint. You told me you are here for ‘that’ treasure as well, and it was you who brought so many Chaos Spirit Realm warriors with you in search of that treasure. Since, according to my guess, all of them are from the Blood Shadow Tower, you must be affiliated with that force as well. It is just that, you are really too strong for a force to be just affiliated with. Thus, I guess you are the man behind the Blood Shadow Tower. You are the leader of Blood Shadow Tower. Right?”
As of now, the middle-aged man was completely astonished. He never thought a young kid like Ye Xiao to be able to observe and see things thoroughly in just a short period of time.
It is really terrifying.
If nurtured carefully, Ye Xiao will make an astounding assassin as well as an expert strategist.
Now, he did not want to let go of Ye Xiao even more. No matter what, he has to make Ye Xiao work for him.
No, Ye Xiao has to work for him.
Taking a deep breath, the middle-aged man tried to calm his breath. But he was clearly unable to, for he was too excited.
A brilliant light flashed on his face and his eyes shone with profound glint. The middle-aged man once again put up a gentle smile and spoke, “Since you have already guessed it, let me officially introduce myself.”
“My name is Fu Cheng, and I am the founder of Blood Shadow Tower. I created Blood Shadow Tower and brought it to its current height solely. Yes, you are right, every Chaos Spirit Realm warrior present in the Red Star Secret Realm all came from the Blood Shadow Tower.”
Stopping for a second to see Ye Xiao’s reaction, all he found was an expressionless face. He raised his eyebrows and smiled even more wildly. Then he continued, “You might wonder why I did this and how I knew about that treasure.”
“To be honest, I entered the Red Star Secret Realm when I was still young. At that time, I came across the pool as well. That pool was filled with water containing extremely pure Chaos Energy. No matter how long people cultivate in that pool, for some reason, the density and purity of the Chaos Energy never diminished.”
“I cultivated here and broke through to the Chaos Spirit Realm. By breaking through in cultivation here, I also broke the rules of the secret realm and was punished with lightning tribulations that injured me greatly and brought me to the brink of death.”
“However, I was very lucky. I managed to escape death somehow and kept wandering in the secret realm with terrifying injuries on my body before I ended up near this ocean. To be more specific, on a small island. Unfortunately, that island keeps moving along with the flow of water, making it extremely difficult to locate.”
“Umm… I forgot to tell you. Not only am I the founder of Blood Shadow Tower, but I am also a Formation Master. When I ended up on that island, I found an opportunity that healed me completely. And very soon, I again found a place where, for some reason, my comprehensive ability was boosted by many folds in an instant. I was shocked and knew I have encountered a great marvelous treasure. I wanted to look for whatever that treasure is and take that away with me. Unfortunately, the time was almost up, and very soon, the secret realm would have ejected everyone out.”
“Thus, I made a decision and created a grand formation that linked that place to the ocean, forwarding the ability to boost warriors’ comprehensive ability in the water of the ocean. Thus, you can feel your comprehensive ability increasing even though you are clearly flying above the ocean.”
“After that, I was teleported out.”
“I planned to enter the Red Star Secret Realm the next time as well to take away that treasure, unfortunately, I was already a Chaos Spirit Realm warrior so I was unable to enter. But I did not give up, I again created several formations on a Formation Plate and gave it to a disciple of mine, telling him to throw that formation plate in that pond.”
“By doing what I said, he unknowingly linked the ocean to the pond. Among the several formations, there was also a teleportation formation on the Formation Plate that was responsible for teleporting people directly to the ocean. But what I did was not perfect at all.”
“After that, I spent countless years perfecting everything as well looking for a way to sneak in the Red Star Secret Realm without alerting the spirit of the secret realm. After countless years of research and study, I finally managed to create a formation that cleverly hides one’s aura completely and suppresses their cultivation to the Chaos Dust Realm.” .𝘤𝘰𝑚
“I carved that formation on my body as well the body of several Chaos Spirit Realm warriors before coming to participate in the Red Star Tournament. Because I did not want to attract anyone’s attention, I told everyone to obtain average results, thus gaining an opportunity to enter the secret realm without alerting anyone, hiding from everyone.”
“Now that I am finally here after thousands of years, I am not gonna go back empty-handed.”
“It is just that, other than that treasure, I am gonna bring you back with me as well.”
Ye Xiao was really impressed by the middle-aged man’s story. Fu Cheng, the founder of Blood Shadow Tower, was really a very hardworking and patient man. He was also amazing to be able to create a formation that could actually blind the senses of several Chaos Spirit Realm experts as well as the Spirit of Red Star Secret Realm.
It can be said Fu Cheng was a genius capable of achieving great things in his life. What he needed were opportunities.
And those opportunities existed in this secret realm.
How could Fu Cheng not want that when he planned to obtain that opportunity for thousands of years?
It is just that, Fu Cheng should not have messed up with Ye Xiao.
In fact, Ye Xiao still did not want to do anything to Fu Cheng. However, if Fu Cheng kept pestering him and threatened him with his life, Ye Xiao will not mind sending Fu Cheng to hell.
Thus, Ye Xiao made a decision and finally said, “I will not interfere in your matter, neither will I tell anyone about you or the treasure that could boost a person’s comprehensive ability.”
“However, you have to let go of the dream of making me work for you!”
