136 Sorrow (1)

The three Blood Martial Realm elders sensed the changes in the red tiger.

Although they were surprised, they were extremely happy with the Red Tiger’s change. They immediately controlled the Red Tiger to rush back at full speed. The red tiger ran down. The evil spirits in all directions were sent flying. There was no way to stop the red tiger’s advance.

Although the red tiger’s speed and impact had increased, it was still exhausted. Whether they could successfully return to the Red Tiger Sect was still hard to say.

As they continued forward, everyone could clearly sense the shocking number of these evil spirits. There were so many evil spirits. There was no way to kill them all! Originally, in the past half a month, they had already cleaned up a lot, but now, more and more evil spirits appeared.

This also made them deeply realize that they really could not stay in the Seven Star Province any longer. Next, they had to think of a way to migrate away as much as possible. Otherwise, staying here would definitely lead to death.

After a while, they were not far from Nanlie Mountain, where the sect was located. Many inner sect disciples had already exhausted their Qi Force. The red tiger’s body became dim and indistinct. It looked like it would dissipate at any moment.

“It can’t hold on much longer!” Anxiety appeared in the eyes of the three Blood Martial Realm elders.

In fact, it was already very good that it could last until now. If not for the improvement brought about by Xiao Shi’s Red Tiger Totem, the Red Tiger could only travel a third of the way before dissipating.

At that time, there would definitely be huge casualties among them.

Although the Red Tiger was about to dissipate, it was not far from Nanlie Mountain. Most importantly, the evil spirits here were no longer mutated under the influence of the strange aura. In terms of strength, they were far from that powerful. If they wanted to kill their way back to the sect from here, they believed that the casualties would not be too great, although there would still be some casualties.

However, just as the red tiger that enveloped everyone was about to dissipate, many figures suddenly rushed over from afar.

The leader was Sect Master Guo Chengdao!

After knowing everyone’s current situation, he specially led the few disciples in the sect to rush over to support. After seeing the sect master, the three Blood Martial Realm elders heaved a sigh of relief.

With the sect master’s support, their casualties would definitely be smaller.

Therefore, after they killed their way back to the sect, they had only lost more than ten Martial Entry-Level Night Patrollers. This had basically minimized the losses.

However, when everyone thought of the Golden Cloud City that they had abandoned this time and the many ordinary people in Golden Cloud City, they could not be happy no matter what. Their hearts were very heavy.

After returning, the three Blood Martial Realm elders told Sect Master Guo Chengdao about their encounter.

What puzzled them the most was the strange situation where the blood-armored knight and the red tiger totem disappeared, but their cultivation levels stabilized.

Guo Chengdao frowned. Previously, when the Red Tiger Totem was swallowed by the bizarre spirit, his cultivation showed signs of falling, but it quickly stabilized.

Unexpectedly, such a complicated situation had actually appeared. The Red Tiger Totem was extremely important to their Red Tiger Sect. It concerned everyone’s cultivation and could not be lost.

However, the whereabouts of the Red Tiger Totem was unknown. It was unknown if it still existed.

This gave them a headache.

“The Red Tiger Totem should still exist.” Guo Chengdao pondered for a moment and made a judgment. “If I’m not wrong, there might be an expert hidden in our Red Tiger Sect.

“Whether it’s the blood-armored knight from before or the improvement Red Tiger obtained during your journey, it’s all because of this person. It can be said that this crisis was resolved by this mysterious expert! If not for this expert, you wouldn’t have been able to return alive. And now, it’s very likely that the Red Tiger Totem is in this person’s hands.”

Guo Chengdao came to this conclusion after combining everyone’s experiences. The three Blood Martial Realm elders were deep in thought. They didn’t have time to think about it before. Now that they had calmed down and thought about it carefully, they felt that it was very likely.

“However, this expert clearly possesses powerful strength. Why would he still conceal himself?”

They were puzzled by this.

“In this chaotic world, everyone has their own way of survival. Some people like to show their talent and strength and enjoy the most resources and best treatment. Some people pay attention to hiding their strength and biding their time. Even if they have shocking strength, they won’t expose themselves in front of others. This mysterious expert clearly belongs to the latter.” Guo Chengdao sighed.

Different survival methods were not necessarily correct or wrong. This was how everyone survived in this chaotic world. As long as it was suitable for him, it was right.

The three Blood Martial Realm elders nodded.

“If the Red Tiger Totem is really in the hands of this mysterious expert, then… do we need to find him?”

In their opinion, the Red Tiger Totem was related to the fate of their entire Red Tiger Sect. No matter what, they had to know who this mysterious expert was before they could feel at ease.

However, Guo Chengdao shook his head. “Since this mysterious expert is unwilling to appear, we should follow his wishes. In the end, he saved us this time. Besides, from this mysterious expert’s actions this time, he’s obviously on our side. He might even be a disciple of our Red Tiger Sect. It’s just that he hid it very well.”
