Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 632: Chapter 500 Trace of Demon Cultivator_2

“This is… the smell of blood?”

Su Yuan’s eyes glimmered with a silver light as he looked ahead. Before long, he saw a lot of bloodstains along the way!

Watching Su Yuan’s back, Lv Han’s lips curled slightly as he whispered to Deputy Captain Liu Xiao next to him, “Send a message to the base. Bring some people over.”

Liu Xiao’s eyes flickered. He also glanced at Su Yuan and immediately responded, “Alright!”

“It feels… so quiet.” Yuan Chao frowned, looking at the dense forest ahead.

“Senior Brother Yuan, something’s not right!” Qiao Huai suddenly said gravely, “The blood aura ahead is dense. I fear… many people have died!”

“What?!”

Yuan Chao and the others were stunned.

Li Qiao Yun’s eyes brightened, “Senior Brother Yuan, it must be that demon cultivator. It looks like he did come this way!”

Yuan Chao pondered for a moment, then turned to remind everyone loudly, “Be careful, everyone. It seems something has happened ahead. There may be a demon cultivator present!”

“A demon cultivator?”

“Is that for real?!”

“…”

After the reminder, Yuan Chao ignored the others and returned to the bow of the boat, approaching Lv Han, “Captain Lv, there seems to be a demon cultivator ahead.”

“A demon cultivator?” Lv Han’s eyes showed surprise, then he chuckled, “Not far ahead is our base, and there are over a dozen Shining Star experts inside…”

At this moment, Liu Xiao’s voice came from behind, “Strange, Captain Lv, the base has been unresponsive…”

“What?!”

Lv Han heard these words. His pupils shrank suddenly as he flipped his hand to retrieve a talisman.

“Nuo City Lv Han contacting the base! Zhang Yong? Wang Mazi? Reply immediately!”

“…”

After a while without results, Lv Han’s expression turned even grimmer.

Seeing this, Yuan Chao returned to the team with a serious expression.

“This demon cultivator may be even trickier than we expected. Everyone, be extremely careful.”

Qiao Huai and the others immediately responded, “Yes, Senior Brother!”

Yuan Chao’s gaze fell on Li Qiao Yun, noticing she didn’t appear nervous.

Yuan Chao frowned and reminded her, “Junior Sister, stay close to me.”

Li Qiao Yun crossed her arms, “Don’t worry, Senior Brother, I won’t act recklessly.

But there’s no need to be so tense. After all, it’s just some people from Nuo City’s base who died.

The Shining Stars here in such a remote place are nothing but clay chickens and pottery dogs. Even if there are two or three Purple Card Masters, they can’t compare to us. It’s normal they couldn’t defeat the demon cultivator.

Since that demon cultivator has left this way, we should quickly track him down.”

After pondering for a moment, Yuan Chao nodded slightly.

Although Li Qiao Yun was arrogant and belittled the Shining Stars of Nuo City, she was not wrong.

Most of the time, the raw strength of sect disciples was stronger than that of outsiders, let alone loose cultivators.

Maybe… he was being too serious.

Yuan Chao looked at Qiao Huai, “Junior Brother, do you see any clues?”

Qiao Huai performed an incantation with his hands and then wiped his eyes, immediately causing colored lights to flow in his pupils.

Qiao Huai scanned the forest and quickly locked onto a direction.

“Senior Brother, the blood aura is densest over there and quite fresh, at most… no more than half a day old!”

“That’s the direction of the base!”

A somber voice came from the side. Lv Han had walked over unnoticed.

Hearing Qiao Huai’s words, Lv Han was almost certain the base was in trouble.

Yuan Chao said, “It looks like the experts at your city’s base are likely in grave danger.”

Qiao Huai cursed, “Damn!”

Yuan Chao said, “Captain Lv, according to my junior brother’s investigation, the incident at the base likely happened within the last half-day.”

After thinking for a moment, Lv Han understood, “We report twice daily. It seems the demon cultivator took advantage of this gap today.”

Yuan Chao looked thoughtful. Even so, for the demon cultivator to prevent any distress calls meant his strength was higher than expected.

Lv Han said, “I’ve sent the message back to the city. The Deputy City Lord will come personally on a backup boat!”

“That might take several hours.” Yuan Chao frowned, thought for a moment, and then suggested, “Captain Lv, bring some people with us to check the situation at the base.”

Although Lv Han did not want to go, with such an incident, he had to check it out due to his duty.

Moreover, with several disciples of the Hundred Origin Sect present, their safety should be guaranteed.

Lv Han said solemnly, “Alright, let’s go!”

Li Qiao Yun asked, “Senior Brother, what about the others?”

Though they heard about the demon cultivator, most people were still skeptical.

Some had already left on their own, while the rest chose to stay grouped together, including the three from the teahouse.

Yuan Chao said, “We’ve done our duty warning them. They are all Shining Stars; they can take care of themselves.”

Li Qiao Yun frowned, “But…”

“Junior Sister, listen to Senior Brother Yuan,” Qiao Huai interrupted her.

Seeing this, Yuan Chao added, “This demon cultivator is more formidable than we thought. We can’t worry about others. If we get rid of him quickly, everyone will be safe.”

Li Qiao Yun nodded, not saying more.

After notifying the remaining people to stay put, Yuan Chao suddenly thought of something and glanced at Su Yuan nearby.

He saw Su Yuan’s usual expression, with a faint silver light in his eyes as if using some kind of pupil skill for detection.

“This person seems quite extraordinary.”

After another look, Yuan Chao withdrew his gaze, shook his head, and led Lv Han and others towards the base.

Su Yuan also withdrew his gaze. This forest was vast, and he hadn’t yet found the demon cultivator Yuan Chao mentioned.

Either the demon cultivator had already left or was hiding skillfully, waiting for the right moment to act.

“Old Zhang, let’s leave directly. This forest is so big. Even if there’s a demon cultivator, he might not find us.”

“Don’t be reckless. Be careful.”

“…..”

“Old Tan, what to do?”

“I need to get back to Luo Family Manor. I have no time to wait here.”

…..

Two more waves of people left.

After scanning the crowd, Su Yuan pondered for a moment. Then, he flew outward.

But not far ahead, Su Yuan stopped, sensing a red light bursting from his body, it was the Demon Soul.

“There is a bloody aura.” The Demon Soul looked towards the forest.

Su Yuan nodded, “I’ll check outside first. You stay here.

If the demon cultivator left, all is well. But if he’s still hiding in the forest, he might attack these people.

When the time comes, act freely.”

The Demon Soul grinned, eyes flashing with anticipation.

“No problem.”
