Shu Feng was inspecting the corpes silently. He flick his index finger and made all of their hands float, he inspected their wrist and he saw the Blood Red Skull that was identical to the one he saw when he was at the Sorrow Village.
This assassins were originally not him being their target, so it just leave with one possibility.
Young Master Bai!
Shu Feng was deep in thought while thinking about something. He soon opened his eyes in realization.
'So that's how it is.' Shu Feng said to himself while finally coming to his conclusion.
Shu Feng disperse his Energy which made the corpses fell down.
He could finally unable to hold his curiosity down and ask a question to General Su directly.
"Are you somewhat related to these guys with a Blood Red Skull on their wrist?"
General Su was already prepared about this kind of situation. Shu Feng already save them twice so he didn't dare to conceal any information and reveal everything.
Shu Feng just nodded his head and now this confirms his conclusion more.
The one who has red blood skull at their wrist were a part of a organization called Blood Skull Society. They were an evil organization which did some inhumane things.
Like sacrificing innocent lives, drinking blood of human and there was even a rumor that they were serving a devil.
The reason why they were targetting Young Master Bai Shi was due to his hidden constitution. Even General Su didn't know what that is because that was the only thing that Young Master's Father told him.
He also said to head towards the Dragon Eagle City where the main family of the Bai was located. Once they got their, they would be safe.
Bai Shi's hidden constitution was a family heritage. When Shi was born, a strange phenomenon happened. The winds howls and the sun darkened. As if some kind of demon were to descend.
The Bai Family knows that this phenomenon would be either their fortune nor demise.
All the citizens of Dragon Eagle City was frightened and thought that the end of the world was coming.
Su Gang, the past Family Head of the Su family and General Su's father, told him about this. Once the phenomenon ended, the start of their problems begins.
A lot of Evil organizations started to assassinate Bai Shi. As for the reason, it was also the problem of the Head of the Bai Family of Dragon Eagle City, grandfather of Shi, which is they needed his body. Not soul but his body. One of them was the Blood Skull Society.
They wanted to used Bai Shi's hidden constitution to summon the devil and possess him. That was also the reason why they sent him far away 14 years ago to this place and only to return after Bai Shi turned sixteen years old.
But since everything was out of hand, then Bai Shi needed to return ahead of time.
Back then, Bai Shi's father was only seventeen years old and his mother died while giving birth to him. Bai Shi was the direct descendant of the Bai Family.
It was also tasked to not let Bai Shi cultivate until he turned sixteen so that they could hide him. Because as Bai Shi cultivates to a higher realm, his constitution would slowly pop up which will give him a distinct aura that will make him much more easier to detect.
But since the plan did not go as it meant to be, they could now allow Bai Shi to cultivate and reveal his hidden constitution soon.
Even General Su was not sure about the reason why they said that Bai Shi would be safe after he turned sixteen, but since that was the order then he could only abide.
Su Family have also their main at the Dragon Eagle City. They swear to protect the future Head of the Bai Family, due to that reason the father of General Su was sent here together with his whole family to protect them.
But due to some strange illness, his father was force to retire his position and passed the title to him. And when he became the Family Head, it was then that his father told him everything.
He was just almost twelve years old at that time and was not informed about family affairs and only focuses on his cultivation.
He was shocked at first but soon he showed a unbending determination to protect Bai Shi with all his might.
His Big Brother, which got killed by Shu Feng, didn't know about this information since it was only accessible to the elders and the Head of the family himself.
He also suspected that there was someone who revealed their location which enabled the Blood Skull Society to discover them.
.....
'Strange, if the Blood Skull Society really wanted his body, they could just send someone at the Nascent Soul Realm to directly finish him.' Feng thought while massaging his chin.
An organization cannot stand on its own without a powerhouse holding the forth after all.
He suddenly look towards the Center Part of the forest and got a vague idea about the reason why a Nascent Soul didn't want to act here.
'They must be afraid to startle the Demon Sovereign residing at the center of the forest. But they could just kill him back when they didn't enter the Demon King Forest though.'
Shu Feng was still coming into various conclusions but can only helplessly sigh and brush these thoughts off.
"Hidden Conatitution, huh." Shu Feng uttered while looking at Bai Shi and using his analyze skill. But there was not Constitution or anything else.
*Ding*
"Skill's level is too low. Upgrade to the next level to unlock the 'Physique' status."
'How much for the upgrade?"
"10 000 SP"
...
Nah.. Forget about upgrading, I don't even have more than five thousand System Points!
Sigh, it seems like I need to harvest for more System Points.
*Ding*
[Mission#2: Escorting Mission.
Details: Escort and make sure that the Young Master of the Bai Family would be safe and not severely injured until reaching their destination.]
[Reward: +10 000 SP, Space Crossing Talisman]
[Penalty: Sealing of Cultivation for ten days]
[Time Limit: None]
After the sudden notification coming from UG, Shu Feng was overjoyed inside, specially the 10 000 System Points.
'What is the use of the Space Crossing Talisman?"
*Ding*
"Information would be availble once the item was in the possession of the Host."
Well, that was reasonable.
.....
"Sigh, alright let's move out of this forest right now. Since Zise cannot train here that much, it was already time that we need to exit this place." Shu Feng thought while looking at Kei who has still some traces of blood on his hands.
Kei just nodded his head in confirmation.
General Su and the others were glad that Shu Feng planned to leave the forest. That means they could invite him to accompany them towards Dragon Eagle City!
"Um, if Senior didn't have a plan yet. You could accompany us towards our destination if Senior didn't mind." Bai Shi suddenly interjected when he heard that Shu Feng was leaving this forest.
It was only last week that he knows about the whole situation regarding his true identity. Although he was shocked at first, he still decided to accept it all and become stronger so that he could collect the debts that those evil organizations did to him.
"Hmm...." Shu Feng acted like he was thinking very deep about Bai Shi's suggestion. He looked serious at the moment.
Very serious.....
Bai Shi suddenly gulp a mouthful of his saliva seeing how serious Shu Feng is right now.
"Sigh, it seems like I don't have a choice right now. Well, your suggestion seems plausible so if it was not a bother, I could tag along with everyone." Shu Feng said while showing a indifferent expression.
.....
They go deeper into the Inner Part of the forest. They encountered some Demon Beast at the Seventh Stage of Core Formation but was easily dealt by Shu Feng.
He was currently at the Sixth Stage of Foundation Building Realm and he was confident in killing a Nineth Stage Core Formation Demon Beast if he fights seriously and will be able to kill it in no more than 20 moves.
The reason for his massive change in strength was due to his Foundation.
At the first stage, he only needs to create ten miles size of vortex and can already fight those a major realm higher than him and even leap some of its minor realm.
But as he entered the Second Stage, the vortex would be ten times larger and his next voxtex needed to be on the same size as his previous one.
This was also the reason why his strength was growing tremendiously every stages.
And right now, he could confidently kill a Peak Three Star Demon King within a bout of twenty moves.
But for some strange reason, he was not confident in dealing a Demon Beast at the First Stage of Nascent Soul.
There seems to be a huge gap between the two major realms.
Shu Feng always compared his combat power with a Beast. He didn't even do a comparison about his strength towards a fellow human.
He thinks that they were just too weak! Even General Su cannot manage single handedly a mere Second Stage Core Formation Demon Beast although he was already at the First Stage himself.
Is he not embarassed to call himself a genius? But he knows himself that even though humans were weak, he could still not kill someone at the Nascent Soul yet.
But that's just it! All in all, humans were weaker that a Demon Beast.
Evening soon came and General Su estimated that they could leave the Inner Part after another three days and enter the other Outer Part of the forest atthe other side.
They decided to eat some dinner before going to sleep. They walk for a whole day after all.
General Su and the others were amazed when they tasted the 'meal' that Shu Feng shared to them. Even the so called tent was something that makes them feel more respect towards Shu Feng.
A night wothout any disturbance for others, but a certain someone was still fully awake.
Shu Feng cannot sleep since he was full on guard this particular night.
He walk out of his tent and vanish right after without anyone noticing him. Even Zise who has a contract with him was soundly sleeping beside Kei.
"Is it fun watching us all day long?" Shu Feng arrived at a certain hill that is near their temporary camp site.
He appeared in front of a human shadow hiding beside a tree. He already notice it since the time that it entered his Map. His mapping already covered every places that he had been to and was even has more range than his Soul Perception.
And it was just that this shadow was following them from their behind and entered his map showing a yelllow dot. He didn't pay much attention to it since it was not an enemy. But he didn't let his guard down since it was not a friend either.
The shadow in question was startled at first but soon regained his calm.
"So you notice me." The shadow said while moving forward and revealing his figure.
He was about six meters tall with a robust body. His chest was not covered completely revealing a firm and strong chest with some red hair on it.
He has a small beared with a red hair and red eyes. His shoulders were broad and muscles was protruding all around his body.
"Ah! So you were hiding?" Shu Feng ask while putting up a innocent look.
The man question was somewhat irritated since this kid was teasing him. You already know that I was hiding yet you were asking me if I was hiding?! Am I really not that good at concealing myself?
"Judging by your aura, you should be a Demon Beast at a human form. And not just that, you were even at the Nascent Soul already." Shu Feng said while placing his hand behind his back and didn't show any fear.
"Let me properly introduce myself. I am Gao Jie, one of the Demon Sovereign of the Demon King Forest. I am here to invite you to our humble place a week from now. Our leader wanted to make a deal with you." Gao Jie said while putting up a serious look.
'So there must be a stronger Demon Sovereign than this Gao Jie ruling this whole forest. But going there would be very dangerous for the current me. But it seems like he was sincere and didn't have any ill intention.' Shu Feng thought to himself.
"Are you not ashamed to make a deal with a human like me?" Shu Feng said while putting up a mocking expression.
Gao Jie didn't got angry and just replied casually.
"Leader said that you are not a human."
Shu Feng smiled wryly at his reply. Did he not have eyes? My body, eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hands, skin, and bloo–
'He got a point, I am not a pure human right now. I got an Blood of Ancient after all.' Shu Feng thought and just kept his smile and didn't bother to reply.
Hearing no response, Gao Jie was somewhat alarmed and relief at the same time.
Back then when their leader said that this kid is not a human, he didn't believe it himself but these past few days that he was observing him, he concluded that there was something amiss and different about him that was seperating him among humans.
It was like he has the power to destroy and control anything.
Even his aura was somewhat fearsome and the longer he stayed close to him, his energy inside his body were somewhat in turmoil like it was facing something dangerous coming from this young man.
And this kind of feeling was not pleasant for him and further increase his doubt about this kid's race.
And confirming this fact, he was relieved that their leader was not trying to make a deal with a human.
If the outside world would know about this, it would cause a great shame not only to them but to the whole Demon Beast.
"Meet me here at the same time in a week if you agree to our request." Gao Jie said and disappeared right after. He didn't even bother to stay anymore since his energy was getting in turmoil every second that he stayed longer.
Of course Shu Feng was not aware of this. His Chaos Energy was just reacting base on his behavior. He was wary and alert towards Gao Jie so his Chaos Energy was only acting up.
Shu Feng takes a final glance towards the center part of the forest before turning around and vanishing on the spot.
He appeared inside the tent and he saw his two little brothers sleeping tightly and decided to join them right after.
