Chereads / Seven Deadly Sins System / Chapter 35 - Evil Cultivator

Chapter 35 - Evil Cultivator

"Achooo!", Chu Wuyao suddenly sneezed out of nowhere.

For some unknown reason, she had a feeling that someone was thinking about her.

Moreover, when she brought up the system panel and looked at it, she found that her proficiency in the Charm skill had increased by quite a lot.

"What the hell?", she thought and tried to understand the reason behind this increase, but could not find anything.

"It should just be a coincidence.", she whispered and suppressed these thoughts.

"What's wrong?", Xia Qianyue saw that Chu Wuyao was a little distracted and asked with some concern.

"It's nothing.", Chu Wuyao shook her head before continuing:

"What did you just say regarding the evil cultivator?"

A few hours had passed since the three of them brought Gu Erwu to his sister and during this time, Chu Wuyao had understood these two people's identities.

According to them, Xia Qianyue and Chu Xu were disciples of the Sword Palace and were disciples of an elder of the sect.

The two of them left the Sword Palace in order to travel around and get some experience, but they happened to stumble upon the traces of an evil cultivator near the Waterflower City.

As young people, they were filled with indignation and wanted to find the culprit.

It wasn't a coincidence that they met the rough man before, as he was one of the few suspects that they had previously identified.

Hearing Chu Wuyao's words, Xia Qianyue puffed her cheeks in annoyance and showed an angry expression.

But in Chu Wuyao's eyes, this expression didn't look threatening at all and was instead very cute.

"We've already investigated and found that hundreds of mortals and many cultivators have disappeared in the last month around the Waterflower City.", Xia Qianyue didn't notice this and explained once more.

"All the dead have died in the exact same way."

Saying this, she looked at Chu Xu who was sitting next to them and sipping tea with a smile, and coughed loudly.

"Yes, yes. Whatever you say."

Helpless, Chu Xu could only place the tea cup on the table and get up.

Taking a few steps on the side, he waved his hands and a corpse that landed on the ground appeared out of nowhere.

The corpse was that of a young man, but at this time, his skin was covered in wrinkles and he looked like a mummy.

Moreover, it was quite obvious that there was no blood under his skin, as if it had been sucked out by countless mosquitos.

This gruesome scene would cause shock to most people, and even Xia Qianyue, a cultivator, turned around and didn't dare to look at it.

On the other hand, Chu Wuyao completely ignored the corpse on the ground and her eyes stayed on the blue ring on Chu Xu's finger.

If she guessed correctly, this blue ring was actually a space equipment, in which, one could freely store items.

Her eyes were a little fiery and she had the urge to knock Chu Xu down and steal it, but she soon regained her senses.

Taking a deep breath, her attention turned to the corpse of the young man.

"Hm...", Chu Wuyao pinched her chin and felt that this method of death always seemed a little familiar, as if she had seen or heard about it before.

Going through her predecessor's memories and recalling the information she had read, she soon realized what this reminded her of.

"Blood Soul Sutra...", she whispered.

Her voice was low, but everyone here was a cultivator and their hearing was excellent.

"Do you know this technique?", Chu Xu asked her curiously.

Chu Wuyao didn't intend to hide it and nodded her head.

"The Blood Soul Sutra is one of the techniques practiced by the Blood God Palace's disciples."

"Cultivators who practice this technique have to regularly devour the blood and souls of other people in order to improve their strength."

"If they don't devour enough people every once in a while, their whole bodies will feel excruciating pain, as if they are bitten by millions of little ants.", she explained.

Noticing the pair's weird gazes, she coughed awkwardly.

"The inheritance I obtained included this information."

Chu Wuyao would of course not admit that she was a disciple of the Original Desire Sect.

Instead, she had previously told them that she was lucky enough to get the inheritance of a casual cultivator and embark on the journey of cultivation.

The two of them didn't doubt her words, as such cases were very common.

There were many casual cultivators and even disciples of the major sects that left an inheritance before their death, hoping that someone could carry on their mantle after they died.

Chu Wuyao's made up story wasn't too far fetched.

"This means that the evil cultivator is actually stronger than we originally guessed,", Xia Qianyue spoke up, breaking the awkward silence in the room.

Chu Xu nodded, "Judging from the traces left behind, the evil cultivator should be at the 7th Level of Qi Accumulation."

"But even at the same cultivation realm, there are huge differences."

"If that evil cultivator is really a disciple of the Blood God Palace, then their strength should be higher than expected."

If the two of them were disciples of an evil sect, they would have chosen to give up and leave this place, not daring to put themselves in danger.

But as young, righteous cultivators that left their sect for the first time, the two of them were not willing to do this.

If they left, hundreds if not thousands of people would die in the future and they would be indirectly responsible.

"We can't let them continue to increase their strength."

"Fortunately, the master gave me a Tracking Talisman before we left the sect."

"Let's wait for the sun to set and then take action."

Chu Xu quickly made a decision.

Even though he seemed to be constantly led by Xia Qianyue, it was only because he doted on his junior sister and didn't mind satisfying her.

But as the senior brother, he could still take the lead when necessary.

Looking at Chu Wuyao, Chu Xu's face turned stern.

"Are you coming with us tonight, or do you want to stay here?", he asked.

"Of course I'll come with you."

"As cultivators, we are obligated to do everything in our power to kill these evil cultivators.", Chu Wuyao responded immediately.

Her tone was filled with righteousness and when she spoke of evil cultivators, she seemed to unconsciously grit her teeth.

It's as if all evil cultivators were her sworn enemies and she would not rest until they all died.

Seeing her performance, Chu Xu nodded with appreciation.

Soon, under the pretext that she had to get ready for the fight, Chu Wuyao left this place, leaving Chu Xu and Xia Qianyue alone.

When he saw her leaving figure, Chu Xu couldn't help but sigh emotionally.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a righteous cultivator among casual cultivators."

"Sister Chu is truly an idol for our generation."

Sitting next to him, Xia Qianyue nodded her head heavily.

She also felt that Chu Wuyao was a truly kind person that valued righteousness and loyalty.

"After all, how could my eyes be wrong?", she thought and smiled.
