Chapter 1390: Chapter 1390

The white smoke drifted gently, going in and out of the dwarf man's nostrils. It seemed as if it was being inhaled by the dwarf man, yet it also seemed to be entering on its own, appearing very strange.

What was most surprising, however, was that the wooden cauldron was slightly shaking, as if something inside was struggling to come out. But as the white smoke drifted out, the shaking of the wooden cauldron became weaker and weaker.

This situation persisted for over half an hour, and the wooden cauldron finally stopped emitting white smoke, with all of it being inhaled into the dwarf man's nostrils without any waste.

After absorbing the two streams of white smoke completely, the dwarf man finally opened his eyes. The wooden cauldron in front of him had stopped shaking. He casually lifted the lid of the wooden cauldron, reached his hand inside, and astonishingly pulled out a red-black long snake.

This long snake wasn't very large, but its head was triangular, its tail forked, and its body black, with the exception of a long red line on its belly, indicating it was highly poisonous. Seeing such a venomous snake, an ordinary person would likely run away immediately. However, the dwarf man seemed completely unafraid, holding the snake in his hand by the midsection, contrary to how typical snake catchers would grip it at its mythical 'seven-inch.'

As the saying goes, "Hit a snake at seven-inch," where the seven-inch mark is the snake's vital point. Ordinary people would surely hold this spot, making the entire snake limp and unable to attack. Grabbing elsewhere is purely courting death, for the snake's body is flexible, returning with a bite at any moment. A bite from a venomous snake is deadly. Could it be that this dwarf man doesn't know how to catch snakes?

Yet the venomous snake in the dwarf man's hand seemed to be completely powerless, only able to crawl slowly, without any large movements.

The dwarf man completely ignored the venomous snake, took two scallions from the side, and placed them together with the snake, then retrieved a seasoning bottle and sprinkled some seasoning onto the snake.

If anyone saw this, they would surely be extremely shocked, wondering what exactly this dwarf man intended to do?

After sprinkling the seasoning, the dwarf man replaced the seasoning bottle in its original place, then held the venomous snake, opened his mouth, and bit off its head, chewing it thoroughly in his mouth.

The venomous snake's fresh blood sprayed out, and the remaining part twisted in the dwarf man's hand, but he paid it no attention. After chewing the snake's head, he swallowed it down, then took another bite, as if feasting on the most delicious gourmet food, eating with great relish. Shortly, the venomous snake was entirely devoured, yet he was still unsatisfied, reaching into the wooden cauldron again to fetch a centipede.

Just like before, he prepared and consumed the centipede alive. Then, he pulled out a venomous lizard, a venomous scorpion, and a venomous toad from the wooden cauldron, eating them all alive before finally satisfied, wiping his mouth as if full, and burping.

The dwarf man put away the wooden cauldron, stood up, and turned to say, "You can come over now."

As soon as the dwarf man spoke, three men immediately emerged from behind, rushing to bow down before him: "Senior Brother!"

"How are the matters progressing?" the dwarf man asked in a deep voice.

The three men exchanged glances, each showing some panic. One of them whispered, "Senior Brother, the matter... the matter has become a bit troublesome."

The dwarf man's face turned cold, turning his head sharply and asking in a deep voice, "What trouble?"

"That... that Bloody Monk, he's been hunting our sorcerers everywhere!" the man whispered. "Over the past few days, another five or six of our sorcerers have died at his hands. As for the living corpses they've been cultivating, they were interrupted before they even took shape. Those children, if not successfully cultivated in one attempt, cannot be attempted a second time. Many embryos we previously sourced have now gone to waste!"

The dwarf man was furious, saying, "That Bloody Monk is really audacious, daring to ruin our affairs. Does he truly think we're afraid of him?"

The three men all kept their heads down, not daring to speak. They all knew the temper of the dwarf man, thinking it best to avoid adding more fuel to the fire.

After cursing a few more times, the dwarf man calmed a bit and asked in a deep voice, "What about the Blood Dragon couple? How is their living corpse cultivation?"

"Senior Brother, that's what we came to report this time..." one man whispered. "The Blood Dragon couple, they... they're dead..."

"What!?" The dwarf man's expression changed, glaring over and asking in a deep voice, "How did they die? With their level of power, how could they be killed like that? Who killed them? Was it also that bald monk Bloody Monk?"

"It wasn't this time..." the man quickly replied. "We've investigated; the ones who killed the Blood Dragon couple were someone named Ye Qing, who seems to be with Huaxia's State Security Department. He brought two subordinates and killed the Blood Dragon couple!" New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁

"State Security Department personnel?" the dwarf man frowned, questioning in a deep voice, "Since when did the State Security Department have such experts? The Blood Dragon couple was so powerful, and they even mastered the Invisibility Sorcery. Who could kill them?"

"It was indeed Ye Qing, and we've gathered information that the three seem to have special abilities!" another man said in a low voice.

If Ye Qing heard these words, he would definitely laugh. This matter of Special Abilities was something he used to hoodwink Zou Huanglong, and unexpectedly, even these sorcerers were fooled.

"What Special Abilities? It's nothing but Inner Strength from Huaxia!" The short man spoke directly, revealing the essence.

"Is it... Inner Strength?" The trio was somewhat astonished, thinking that Special Abilities were extraordinary, but unexpectedly it turned out to be Inner Strength from Huaxia, which is more familiar.

"Nonsense, I've lived for so many years and never seen any Special Abilities!" The short man said solemnly, "It is definitely that so-called Neijia Kung Fu from Huaxia, just disguised under the name of Special Abilities to scare people by feigning mystery!"

The three exchanged glances; they obviously didn't know much, and were somewhat surprised after hearing the short man's words.

One man took a deep breath and whispered, "Senior brother, according to our investigations, the Blood Dragon Couple used Blood Fusion Sorcery before their demise!"

"Blood Fusion Sorcery!?" The short man's face changed, turning to them and said solemnly, "Are you certain the Blood Dragon Couple used Blood Fusion Sorcery?"

"Certain!" The three nodded simultaneously.

The short man furrowed his brow, pacing back and forth, seemingly contemplating. After about five minutes, he turned his head and said solemnly, "What on earth is Ye Qing doing?"

"We've investigated his identity. Ye Qing used to be a Special Forces soldier. It seems he is the disciple of Northern Fist King Li Changqing, one of Huaxia's Five Unmatches, and has mastered Li Changqing's Bajiquan," one man replied.

"Li Changqing's disciple?" The short man shook his head slowly, saying, "Impossible. Li Changqing's disciple absolutely can't possess Li Changqing's skill, nor can he kill the Blood Dragon Couple who used Blood Fusion Sorcery. The issue surely lies with the two people he brought. Who are those two people he brought?"

All three shook their heads; they couldn't trace the identities of Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi at all.

The short man furrowed his brow, fell silent for a while, then said, "How did Ye Qing encounter the Blood Dragon Couple? Why did he kill them?"

One man said solemnly, "It is said that Ye Qing, while dealing with those external mercenaries, was taken by someone to see a doctor and met the Blood Dragon Couple. As for why he killed them, it is probably because people from Huaxia want to deal with us. After Ye Qing killed the Blood Dragon Couple, he directly went to find Dhasang wizard and also killed him. So, we can be certain that he has already viewed us as formidable enemies and is most likely planning to continue dealing with us!"

"Hmph!" The short man snorted, saying, "Dealing with us? Does he have that capability?"

"Senior brother, I'm afraid Ye Qing's skills are not bad," one man whispered, "The Blood Dragon Couple used Blood Fusion Sorcery yet ended up dead at their hands. As for Dhasang wizard, he cultivated four to five hundred human puppets, but ultimately all were handled. Evidently, Ye Qing's prowess is truly not simple!"

"Indeed, senior brother. If he continues dealing with people from our Sorcerer Sect this way, I'm afraid many brothers won't escape from him!" another man said, "The Blood Dragon Couple were ranked among the top five in our Sorcerer Sect, and the power of Blood Fusion Sorcery is terrifying. Even they died ; I'm afraid other brothers are not their match!"

The short man furrowed his brow. What the three junior brothers said was exactly what he was contemplating. He was well aware of the Blood Dragon Couple's strength; if even they were killed by Ye Qing, he truly couldn't underestimate Ye Qing.

"Where is Ye Qing now?" the short man asked solemnly.

"Just received news, after killing Dhasang wizard, he directly bought a ticket to North Hong," the man looked at his watch, saying, "Estimating the time, they should arrive in North Hong in about half an hour."

"Who is in North Hong?" the short man asked solemnly.

"Third Brother is there!"

The short man pondered for a while, then said, "Call Third Brother and have him lure Ye Qing to Beimang!"

"Beimang?" The three's expressions changed simultaneously, with one trembling voice saying, "Senior brother, why... why lure them to Beimang? That place, isn't it... isn't it..."

"I know!" The short man nodded slowly, saying, "If this Ye's skill really exceeds our expectations, Beimang Mountain is the most suitable place to kill them."

The three exchanged glances, each with a look of confusion, seemingly unable to comprehend the short man's words.
