Behind the Sound Beast Mountain, in the Gray Wings Clan’s territory.
There were many strange wooden huts on ancient tree trunks. The Gray Wings Clan’s people were cultivating inside those huts.
Behind a big ancient tree trunk was a ravine overwhelmed with howling winds. Inside that ravine, an elderly man of the Gray Wings Clan whose appearance similar to Harward’s was silently watching an appealing figure who was sitting in the middle of the shrieking winds. His cold eyes sparked a lustful look.
The figure with the sexy body was full of dense wind aura, and she was wearing red fire armor. She was sitting in the middle of the ravine. A lot of the wind forces were quickly gathering, becoming the restorative medicine for her Martial Spirit inside of her body. It elated her mind and enlightened her glowing face.
“Miss Himani, you have cultivated very well. The wind forces of the Heaven Wind Valley are adamant. Normally, only I can cultivate it. Now I’ll give it to you.” The elderly man of the Gray Wings Clan fixed his torch-lighting eyes on that beautiful body for a long while and mumbled, “You are the gift from Heaven. The Wind Martial Spirit in your body is the best thing for me to cultivate the wind forces successfully. Wait until you gather enough of the wind forces, I will take it to improve my cultivation Realm, exceeding the other two guys…”
The girl trapped is none other than Himani Quis, one of many who chased after Leylin and the Alaister family. Although she was only putting up a facade back then and didn’t attack with killing intent in retrospect to her friendship with Ordell and Rosalie Alaister, she still had to follow the lead of others.
After the decimation and beat down from Leylin, many hesitated to chase after the Alaister family but they didn’t have the face to return either.
So many of them came together, so many experts and future leaders of the Endless Sea joining hands but they weren’t even able to kill anyone.
Let alone the deaths of dozens of Earth Realm warriors even Josue Ambre the future Master of Evil Wonderland was deceased, how can they have the face to return.
So, under the persuasion of Caddell Carina they finally decided to continue their chase and entered the Meteor Array.
Carina could easily settle the difficulties of arrays and break through, everyone knew that although Leylin is a very fearsome advisory they still didn’t use their trump cards to deal with him seriously.
There is no way the prideful and accomplished Young leaders would accept that even their combined force cannot kill Leylin!
So, they continue to roam around searching for Leylin until they suddenly felt big movements in their vicinity. Carina immediately led the opposing alliance towards the commotion finding tracks of Leylin, afterwards they followed the tracks which were supposed to lead to Leylin but ultimately they were dumped here.
Himani was separated from the group only to be captured by some strange people, unable to resist she could only rest her fate on their whim.
Inside the ravine, the wind forces were wrapping Himani’s body. Her beautiful eyes slowly opened, glancing at the elderly man over there, and then closing again right away. Her face displayed a dreary look.
“Tinkling tinkling.”
A strange sound suddenly resounded from the chest of the elderly man. He winced and hauled a dark green crystal pearl from his chest, and then annoyedly asked, “What happened?”
“Young Master, young Master is missing.” The crystal pearl transmitted a hasty anxious voice.
“What?” The elderly man’s face suddenly changed with green veins prominently bulging. He looked very furious. He irritatingly shouted, “What happened?”
“Young master is missing; we can’t even follow his soul signature. All of his guards are dead but we can confirm that he’s still alive but he’s been most probably captured by someone. Please spare my life, Master. We did not know why it happened.” The voice from the crystal pearl was anxiously worried.
The elderly man of the Gray Wings Clan could not bear it anymore, he raised his head up to the sky, deliriously shouting. Wailing wind and furious energy gathered all together, going into the crystal pearl.
The crystal pearl projected dazzling green rays of light all of a sudden. The green light continually condensed, forming an image.
Numerous green fibers sketched out to form a frigid face in that green image. Afterwards more energy was poured in, to clear the appearance but suddenly the crystal pearl erupted and destroyed the image.
“Failed?Who is this!?” The elderly man shouted out loud. Sharp winds burst strongly, pulling up all the surrounding ancient tree trunks and scattering wooden pieces in the air.
“Is this a ploy from the Demonic Sound Clan or perhaps the handiwork of those two? Whoever this is, they are pretty capable. People who can disrupt the ability of Reality Crystal Pearl are far and few but to dare go against the Gray Wing’s Race, this transgression cannot be without repercussions. Whoever you are, you would pay a great price to dare touch my son!”
….
While the Gray Wing’s Race was in a frenzy, the cause of all the chaos Leylin was just chilling inside a small cave sitting cross legged and just a bit further from him, a body laid on the ground.
The body was actually frozen into an ice sculpture and seemed to have a very diminished sign of life but it was still alive.
The ice sculpture was none other than Harward and currently he was thrown unceremoniously by Leylin because he has already pried and gathered all important information from him.
Leylin found that this target of his, Harward Gray was actually the son of the Gray Wings Clan’s leader. The Gray Wings Clan is one of the three branches of the Wings Race. The head of gray Wings Clan has been very combative and vicious in his ways. If Leylin really killed him and he finds out that Harward was dead, he definitely will get crazily mad.
Even after ripping all of the information from Harward, Leylin decided to not kill him because he had a feeling that it would be a detrimental move for him.
Thankfully Leylin has taken enough precautions because of his cautious nature and was pretty sure he didn’t leave any trace of himself.
Whenever Leylin dealt with heirs or someone important he would have to keep their backers or supporters in his mind.
There are various ways to investigate a crime scene in Cultivation World and although Leylin hasn’t encountered any which would be able to trace back to him, he still treated his enemies with the same precautions as he would do in Magus World.
The Information gathered from Harward have immensely increased Leylin knowledge about this strange place sealed inside the Chasm Battlefield
According to what he found Leylin understands that besides the Wing’s Race, there was also another tribe called the Demonic Sound Clan. These two big tribes might have been from the Neolithic Age, and no one knew the reason that had led to their deportation and confinement here.
The Demonic Sound Clan and the Wings Race should have belonged to the Grace Mainland before. Moreover, the ability of these two tribes should be very mighty. Although they had been deported here for many years, they still preserve the intention of breaking out to go back to the Grace Mainland, their ancient land.
The place that Leylin first landed to was actually called the Sound Beast Mountain. The Wings Race people live just behind the Sound Beast Mountain.
They consider themselves to be the true lords of this land; they want to rule the opposite Demonic Sound Clan. In recent years, the Wings Race’s strength has been stronger than them. If it isn’t because the Wings Race people have conflicts with each other, they would have united everyone under their banner.
But this doesn’t mean the Demonic Sound Clan is weak, no they are definitely not to be underestimated. It was Leylin good luck that he didn’t encounter them before because apparently they have God-given soul advantages, and they can easily destroy others souls!
Obviously Leylin is no slouch when it comes to soul but there is a limit to his ability and apparently there are multiple Spirit Rank Warriors amongst the rank of the two race’s.
If Leylin were to be captured by them, they even escaping would be an ordeal unless of course he can find a way to counter their advantage.
But even despite their superior talent for soul, they were still unable to contend against the Wing’s Race.
It was because of the particular brain structure that gave them mighty protection forces that could resist the soul attack of the Demonic Sound Clan, but it also limited them from improving their soul cultivation. That is the reason that the Wings Race’s people encountered difficulties in cultivating their soul power.
Even Leylin had to exhaust a larger portion of energy he normally had to when searching the soul of a mere Earth Realm warrior.
The Wings Race is not to be underestimated, they are more dangerous than humankind. No human being can compare with their solid physical body. Although the Wings Race’s soul is not as good as the humankind’s, they still have many ways to protect their soul from being violated. Humankind absolutely cannot compare with them.
Apparently these two race’s don’t want to live here and hope to go back to our Ancestry Land. It has been almost ten thousand years since they have been deported.
Although the Endless Sea is not peaceful at this time. It may not be a good time to go back there now but they would jump at any chance to return irrespective of the danger.
Leylin also found an interesting piece of information. Apparently there are some humans who have already been apprehended by the Wing’s Race.
The reason why they were so vigilant and proactive with even the leader’s son heading the scouts around the Sound Beast Mountain was apparently to capture more humans.
“Hmm.. who would it be, this guy has no information about the captured humans except for one. From the description it seems to be Ordell’s friend Himani, she is a good girl and a promising prospect for a subordinate but there is no way I am risking my life to save her. Sorry but I am no stupid, even if the whole Alaister family would have been captured I won’t move recklessly. Once I have the strength I would obviously avenge you but not now.”
“So many humans have come here, if my assumptions are not wrong then the seal placed on this region has weakened because of the movement outside. This truly is turbulent times, the Demons and Devils have already stretched their claws onto the Endless Sea and now this….”
“The Sound Beast Mountain is also getting more noisy, I cannot keep standing on the fence if I want to get out of here or better gain some advantage. I need to get involved and I know just the party to align with.” Leylin stood up and started to walk out of the cave with a cunning look in his eyes.
This place is obviously not going to stay still, these two races are destined to break out and join the ranks of the Endless Sea powerhouses and Leylin definitely wants to rope them in his own camp.
The situation in Endless Sea would be very chaotic as time passes, soon the Overlords would understand how mistaken they were to trust Demon and Devils boring their fangs against the Alaister family.
The Alaister family has been protecting and safeguarding the endless sea against the demons for thousands of years, so much so that others have become complacent. Only the top tier peak Powerhouse truly understood how detrimental the fall of Alaister family would be for the whole humankind and perhaps that’s the reason why they didn’t participate in the manhunt perpetrated against them. Soon without Alaister family protection, a blood storm would quickly veil the whole Endless Sea!
Leylin has been through so many ordeals and so many worlds, he can see it clear as a day. He knows that he had to be prepared for the worst but he also has an inkling that things aren’t what they seem and more importantly Alaister Abaddon isn’t a simple character by any stretch of imagination. He must have something up his wraps but even still Leylin would opt to be over prepared than be caught off guard.
Hence Leylin decided to include these two fearsome tribes into his team, as to how he would do it, that’s to be pondered upon and more thoroughly thought, irrespective Leylin has a gut feeling that he would eventually succeed.
That’s because these people are waiting for a Messiah and a hero to lean on and he’s gonna give them just that!
“It’s good that I have a lead for my plans.”
Leylin then withdrew the three Demon Crystals he took out from the dead bodies of the Sound Demon Beast and his mind started to churn.
The Sound Beasts are a kind of beast. They only live in the Sound Beast Mountain where the miasmatic aura is incredibly dense. The Sound Beasts are made from Yin; their Demons Crystal Pearls also have the icy yin trait. They are very useful for the Demonic Sound Race. Their cultivation would be prosperous if they can have these Demons Crystal Pearls.
The Sound Beast Mountain has the “Ancient Thunder Formation” which discharges lightning. The Sound Beasts do not have any big problem if being hit by lightning. The Demonic Sound Clan, on the other hand, is naturally afraid of lightning so we cannot go any further into the Sound Beast Mountain, except that they can only stay outside the mountain and catch the Sound Beasts that venture out.
The Sound Beasts’ trait is icy Yin, and their souls are also unique. It is not easy for the Demonic Sound Clan to use our soul advantage to deal with them. To catch them, they also need to make use of the direct attacking weapons. However, once the Sound Beasts cannot win, they will quickly retrieve and hide inside of the Sound Beast Mountain. Thus, they cannot do anything.
The Sound Beasts had one weakness, they are afraid of the burning fires. If one can use the burning fires, it is easier to catch them. Of course, not all fires are useful. Weak burning fires cannot affect the Sound Beasts.
Leylin caresses the few shining crystals which were the sound beasts. To acquire these crystals Demonic Sound Clan has to depend on the Wings Race, making them eventually adopt a passive role and lower position from them.
These crystals can be used to exchange anything inside the Ancient Mountain City, even captured humans probably. Leylin had a feeling that they also have a few humankind captured themselves.
Leylin also possesses a Trump Card against the Demonic Sound Clan and he can easily manipulate them for his advantage.
More importantly, the particular beast that Leylin hunted named Child Devils are also a key to his plans.
Child devils are not afraid of the Demonic Sound Clan’s souls. They are even their mortal enemy. When they are out, they have to hide inside of the Ancient City.
The Sound Beast Mountain has changed, and thus many Sound Beasts might run out of the Sound Beast Mountain, including the Child Devils. They can destroy the Demonic Sound Clan.
In this situation if they can have someone to protect them and empower them, it would swiftly win them over. Obviously things won’t be that easy but with might, planning, and a master manipulator like Leylin, the likelihood of success is not disheartening.
“Demonic Sound Race… I am pretty interested in their soul knowledge, let’s see if they can be helpful. If nothing else I’ll just burn them to the ground and take what I want, but still it’s best to befriend them.” Leylin then performed a lengthy ritual creating a Body Clone and sending it away to infiltrate the Demonic sound clan, there is no way he’s gonna risk himself in a place where multiple Spirit Rank Expert resides.
Although the demonic sound clan is also fearful of fire and light, and both of these are elements that Leylin can maneuver expertly but he doesn’t have a fire based Heaven Flame and there is a limit to the fatality of his fire spells.
