Chapter 275: Blood Master and Sorcerer

Chapter 275: Blood Master and Sorcerer

Above the sky, amidst the clouds, a dark bird flew, casting its gaze upon the land below.

Soaring through the layers of clouds, its sharp eyes locked onto a city, scanning for the most extravagant mansion within.

Gradually, the scope narrowed down from the vast expanse, to the city, and finally to the mansion itself, where it began to sweep through the inner and outer grounds.

On this grand celebration day, the number of people coming and going was overwhelming, bustling both inside and outside the mansion; with heavy guards stationed, the nobility of the attendees was unmistakable.

The black bird circled in the clouds for a while, sketched out a general profile, and now sought to further narrow its focus down to the individuals within the courtyard.

However, its ability to pinpoint individuals within the courtyard didn’t last long, and it consumed a lot of spiritual energy, lasting roughly only half a minute.

A young boy fell into the view of the dark bird.

He was performing unknown moves in the courtyard.

The dark bird recorded the boy’s movements because he was the target of interest.

Besides him, there were other important targets to monitor, but they had already entered the house.

No matter, as long as it was known they were in the Lin family mansion.

Recently, the Lin family celebration gathered dignitaries from all corners, stewing together like ingredients in a boiler.

After observing everything, the soaring black bird reduced its altitude, descending gracefully from the sky.

It soon landed on a small hill nearby, where an old sorcerer with a skeletal staff stood, and the black bird perched upon his shoulder, conveying the gathered information.

Information regarding this city and about the Lin family mansion.

The old sorcerer sighed with regret:

“I searched again, but I couldn’t find Wu Ying Ge. There hasn’t been any news of him since the incident at the Sacred Altar; he has completely vanished.”

“Master Yang, perhaps he’s gone into hiding or… dead,” a sorcerer suggested.

“If he’s dead, that would be for the best. This man disrupted our plans and surely possesses remarkable strength. It’s best to eradicate such a threat completely to avoid interference with our future plans.”

The old sorcerer sighed. After the failed assault on the Sacred Altar, their morale had surged, thinking victory was assured, only to have a figure like Wu Ying Ge turn everything upside down.

Despite all their calculations, they hadn’t anticipated such a character.

Now that he was missing, they were concerned he might suddenly reappear and foil their grand designs.

In an instant, a blood-red teleportation array appeared beside the old sorcerer, and a long-haired man emerged from it.

His eyes were bloodshot, and in his hand, he gripped a blood-red spherical object.

“Master Yang.”

The man politely greeted, now known as Yu Sha, formerly called Ling Huang Xian.

However, after practicing blood techniques, his appearance underwent drastic changes, lacking his previous fair and ethereal demeanor, replaced by bloodshot eyes and scars on his face that sent chills down one’s spine.

He had long abandoned the name Ling Huang Xian; now he would be known as Yu Sha, a name he intended to keep.

Yu Sha noticed the dark bird on the old sorcerer’s shoulder and inquired:

“Master Yang, have you found that man?”

The old sorcerer stroked his long beard and replied solemnly:

“Blood Master Yu, I have indeed found the person in the image, Lin Nuo; he is within the Lin family mansion.”

“May I see what he is doing?”

“He is cultivating. My spiritual bird recorded the footage; you can see if it is indeed him and the techniques he practices.”

After the old sorcerer spoke, he projected a view from the black bird’s perspective onto the scene below.

Since it was an aerial view, it was somewhat different than a direct line of sight, but it was more than sufficient to identify Lin Nuo’s face.

Yu Sha reviewed the footage and confirmed it was indeed Lin Nuo.

He recognized that kid; he was the one who had defeated the Blood Dragon in Zifeng Valley.

He never imagined this kid would be brought to Zifeng Valley and treated like an immortal, when in fact he had not a drop of immortal energy.

While in Zifeng Valley, when the Blood Dragon caused trouble, he didn’t leave immediately but lingered in the shadows, observing the situation within the valley.

If the Blood Dragon were defeated, he would know; he had cast a curse on it.

He learned of the Blood Dragon’s defeat and that Lin Nuo had been the one to accomplish it, allowing him to leave Zifeng Valley.

After departing, he shed his immortal identity and officially embarked on the path of the Blood Master.

Now allied with the sorcerers, he realized the value of having a team to rely on rather than going solo until he had sufficiently honed his cultivation.

At present, he needed to find a way to eliminate that person named Lin Nuo.

Naturally, such a person could not be allowed to exist in the world, as they were ultimately a threat.

The old sorcerer asked him:

“Is it truly him?”

“Yes.”

Yu Sha nodded and replied,

“Since he is at the Lin family mansion, it will be easier to handle.”

“In that case, I hope our collaboration goes smoothly. The person you seek is in the Lin family mansion; mine is also there, and the women from Xuanyun Sect must die as well.”

“The celebration for the Lin family shall turn into a mourning, and with the many dignitaries present, it will be even better if they are all dead. The plan is set to unfold; let’s prepare.”

Yu Sha declared before stepping back into the blood-red teleportation array.

…

The grand celebration was about to commence, with festive air filling the Lin family mansion, extravagant banquets being set up, and guests gathering from all directions.

With sumptuous feasts of fish and meat, a façade of friendliness and respect masked the undercurrents of ambition, as people sought to flaunt their power and wealth or to curry favor with the influential.

Lin Nuo strolled through, taking in the scene and enjoying the delicacies as one would do when free-loading, naturally opting to savor the benefits without having to pay.

Normally, Lin Nuo would be expected to sit with the younger members of the Lin family, but he refused, insisting he wanted his own table.

Of course, it was absurd for him to demand a table all to himself, so it was rejected, and he opted to sit with the servants instead.

Sitting with the servants was not typically allowed for other Lin family members, but since Lin Nuo had little standing in the family, he was permitted.

As a young master sitting with the help was certainly unusual.

However, he gladly took a seat at the servant’s table, which was at the edge, allowing him to avoid drawing attention amongst the Lin family members, enabling him to quietly enjoy his free perks.

Of course, his mother, Xia Hanmo, sat beside him, which the Lin family had no issue with, as the two had long been looked down upon.

As for Liu Shuqin and the others, while they hoped to sit with Lin Nuo, they were individuals of stature representing their families and thus needed to be seated accordingly, which had been arranged.

Su Kexin also couldn’t, as she had come to represent the immortals and was thus assigned to the VIP table, and it was rumored that more immortals would soon arrive.

After all, they had to give Lin Nuo face, if only a bit later.

As for Luo Yi, despite her family’s lack of fame, per the request of the influential minister Dai Sheng, she went to sit with the officials; at the moment, more than one Dai Sheng recognized her.

“Master, is it really okay for you to sit here?”

Li Ruo’er voiced her concerns beside him.

“Absolutely great.”

Lin Nuo replied.
