Demon’s Diary - Chapter 325

Chapter 325

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Liu, and it’s nothing but a venerable elder died of acute disease . " Xiao Yuebai replied with a wry smile .

It was definitely an excuse!

The old man who lost life on the altar passed through Liu Ming’s mind subconsciously . Liu thrilled but asked no more, then officially parted with the hefty fellow after a small talk .

Xiao Yuebai and Han Li personally escorted Liu Ming out of the gate of the Yuan Mo Sect to the edge of the enormous stone forest and returned .

"Senior disciple Xiao, brother Liu has gone .  Can you tell me now who passed away?" Han Li loosed his tongue on their way back .

"It’s my master . " Xiao Yuebai was silent for a moment before told him .

"Your master? What . . . you mean Uncle Xin, are you sure?" Han Li was confused at first, but soon he sobbed out as he realized something .

"It’s only known to the top as we’re investigating the cause of his death . After all, although he suffered from the demon power in his early years and had to be trapped in forbidden area, his sudden death is quite suspicious and outrageous . You shall try your best to keep it under raps for now . " Xiao Yuebai sullenly replied .

Han Li nodded repeatedly in shock .

…

Liu Ming released a swift boat after his departure from Yuan Mo Sect, went straight to the Country of Da Xuan .

He finally got back to the Barbarian Ghost Sect more than two month later .

His long-term absence did not come into notice to many of the Barbarian Ghost Sect .

Liu Ming returned to his abode to have a three-day good rest, and started learning-by-doing the blood tiger’s head according to the method described in the ancient book of the Dragon and Tiger Hell Tricks .

He came out invigorated a dozen days later with a bottle of carefully mixed purple spirit liquid, heading to the Yin-attribute Cave where he had practiced .

Time had passed hours by hours, while Liu Ming had stayed there for more than a month .

This day, some disciples passed by the hill the Cave located, where suddenly came a loud bang inside, followed by a rushing black air column, which turned into a black giant dragon and a tiger after splitting into two parts .

The two greeted each other playfully the moment they appeared in the air . One raised its head to cry, while the other lowered its head to roar, as if living creatures .

This was a really spectacle for the dumbfounded disciples .

A figure moved over an adjacent hill, which turned out to be the master of Barbarian Ghost Sect who stared at the extraordinary scene nearby astonishingly .

"How amazing . It must be one of the younger disciples who gets to the Liquid Advanced Stage and reached the peak of perfection in cave directly . " An old man emerged beside the master, who gave a surprised and bewildered estimation after examining the scene in the sky .

This old man was senior disciple Huang who had refined Heavy Water Drops for Liu Ming .

Meanwhile, there was a breaking sound afar, coming along with some other alchemists .

"A formidable breath as it is, it’s not yet a sign of breakthrough of the Liquid Advanced Stage but an indication of some kind of power beyond free control . However, such a phenomena of meeting of dragon and tiger is rare indeed . I forget at the moment what kind of cultivated skills of our Sect will be so . Junior disciple Huang, do you know anything about this?" The master shook his head and inquired thoughtfully .

"What you have observed must be right . But I have no idea of what sort of skill it is either . " Huang blinked and shook his head .

There came two "whoosh" sounds with two people touched down at this time .

It was a fair young woman, Lin Caiyu, one disciple of the Ghost Dancer and a tall man named Lei of the Secret Hill respectively .

After greeting the master of the Barbarian Ghost Sect and senior disciple Huang, they looked at the peculiar phenomena above the nearby hill in surprise .

The dragon and tiger only played with each other for a while, then blew out with a loud noise and turned into a ball of black gas as before . After only a few flashes, they disappeared into the hills below .

"It seems that this younger disciple has ceased his power and must now consolidate his accomplishments in the cave . I’m afraid he won’t come out and meet us now . " The master said regretfully .

"It’s easy to get who’s in the cave as long as we call in the disciple guarding here . " Lin Caiyu smiled softly as she suggested that .

"Well, Sister Lin makes a good point . " The master was rather embarrassed and formed a sign with one hand quietly to summon all his disciples .

A figure in the opposite peak flashed after a while, and there emerged a green-robed disciple in his thirties, full of panic .

"Respectful master and Uncles!" As soon as the disciple saw them, he rushed forward to greet them with full respect .

"Well, tell me, who has been in the cave these days?" The master put his hand and calmly asked .

"My master, there’s only Uncle Liu Ming now . " The disciple bent down and answered .

"Who? You say younger disciple Liu Ming! When did he get in?" The master made a detailed inquiry as he was stunned .

So did the other three .

"My master, it was a month ago!" The disciple honestly replied after one second thought .

"Well, I get it, you can leave . " The master ordered after suppressing his amazement .

Then the green-robed disciple withdrew with courtesy .

"Younger disciple Lei, what do you think of this?" The master turned his head and asked Lei and others after the green-robed disciple vanished in a serious tone .

"Liu’s achievement should be a hot wire for our Sect either way . " Lei answered as his eyes flickered .

"Ho ho, younger disciple Lei, there’s no need to fool me like this? You know I don’t mean it . " The master chuckled .

"You’re worrying about how Liu’s practice is advancing by leaps and bounds . After all, he has just been a primary stage alchemist for a short period of time . I’m afraid it won’t take him much time to break through Liquid Middle Stage at this pace . Are you anxious about he may take some pills to stimulate his potential or employ some secret techniques with similar effects and go astray in his practice . " Lin Caiyu explained beside .

"You’re right! After all, he should never make such progress by traditional methods of cultivating, by the way, such a strong breath I’ve seen may be equal to the Liquid Advanced Stage . It worries me that he’s too eager to succeed . " The master concerned .

"It’s really his talent so long as younger disciple Liu has never adopted some evil means . After all, we have only a few Liquid Middle Stage Alchemists in the whole Sect . As for practicing other secret techniques or taking pills, it’s his choice and we cannot interfere . " The big fellow surnamed Lei answered after contemplating for a moment .

"Exactly! Although I’m startled that he may be in a rush for quick results, it merely demonstrates that he gets a lucky chance . If master is in suspense, we can only call his attention . As for whether he has adopted method of inspiring potentials, it’s not what we should worry about . Ha, ha, at least I would never give up if I could advance with seven-league strides when I was young . " Huang yawned and said firmly .

"Well, that makes sense . Liu should only make a minor achievement in his practice and there’s still a long way from the Liquid Middle Stage, I’ll give him some advice when I’m free . However, Uncle Yan attaches great importance to him, thus I hope that he will choose a right track . " The master finally nodded and said after being both dismal and joyful .

The others then had no dissent .

"Well, my master . Have you got some message from Uncle Yan about the result of the competition of the Three True and Six Disciples . Is there any hope that the nephew disciple Gao will be among the Six?" Lei brought up a new topic suddenly .

"I just received the tidings from Yan that the outcome of Three True, yet Leng Yue failed to make it . The Three True are Tian Sha of Yuan Mo Sect, Bai Wenzhou of Uniform Sect and Han Chunqiu of Sun Valley respectively . As for the Six Disciples, owing to the large amount of participants and the strict selection, there’s no result yet . However, Gao Chong has only got a slim chance whereas Zhang Xiuniang of Moon Sect is very promising according to Yan . After all, her spiritual sword is so rebellious that it will never dwarf itself even compared to the Heaven Spirit of Yuan Mo Sect . " After hearing that, the master raised his eyebrows and replied with a sigh .

"It’s really a pity . If the selection of the Six is based on their own strength but not qualifications, perhaps younger disciple Liu will have a good chance of being ranked among them . " The big fellow Lei regretted .

"If there’s no strict qualifications, I’ll nominate younger disciple Liu above anyone . After all, Gao Chong is far not a patch on him . " said the master of the Barbarian Ghost Sect, full of regret .
