Max furrowed his brows and also looked into the distance. He could see 4 figures sitting cross-legged in the blood pool. However, it seemed the commotion earlier had disturbed them and now they were angrily glaring at them.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three of them stood up, their giant wings flapped, and they disappeared from the blood pool and appeared in front of him, their auras pressing him down.
‘Fuck!’ Max cursed in frustration. He was really fed up with being suppressed repeatedly and really wanted to retaliate. Unfortunately, he wasn’t strong enough to do so.
“Greetings, uncles.” Amara hurriedly stepped in front of him and greeted them. When the three menacing looking demons recognised her, their expression softened, and they retracted their aura.
One of them smiled and said, “Congratulations, little girl. It’s very good that you have awakened your bloodline.”
“Thank you, uncle.” Amara modestly bowed her head.
The demon who just spoke nodded before shifting his gaze to Max. His expression turned cold as he said, “Who is he? Why did you bring him down here?”
The other two demons also looked at him with deadly gazes. They seemed to want to kill Max, but because the first demon had questioned her, they held back.
Amara secretly took a deep breath and said, “Uncle, this is my servant. I brought him here to let him cultivate here for a while.”
“Hehe, little miss. Isn’t this puny human’s presence here disrespectful to our demon race? How could you bring him here? Did the branch leader really agree to this?” The second demon on the left asked, sneering coldly.
“Yes. It’s unacceptable.” The last demon spoke, “Let’s kill this human and go ask the branch leader what is he thinking by doing this?”
Whoosh!
After saying this, he released his aura toward Amara.
“You dare?” The first demon shouted out loud. He suddenly vanished from his spot and appeared in front of Amara and waved his hand, easily blocking the aura attack.
“What? Are you trying to go against me by saving this human?” The last demon sneered. The second demon moved toward him, also staring at the first demon threateningly.
The first demon’s wrinkly face flushed red in anger when he heard this, and he laughed coldly, “Haha, go against you? Who the fuck do you think you are? It seems your guts have grown bigger since you dare to attack the young lady now?”
The last demon chuckled indifferently and said, “Attack young lady? Are you sure your eyes are alright? My target was clearly that human? Now move away and let me kill him.”
The second demon took a step toward him and glared at the first demon, showing his support.
“You…” Before the first demon could say anything, a chilling voice sounded from behind, “Is that so?”
Swoosh!
Following the voice, a figure appeared in front of Amara, coldly looking at the two demons and asked nonchalantly, “Why did it seem to me that you were trying to kill my sister, my dear uncle?”
This person was Ashroth. Seeing him appear, Amara sighed in relief and glared at the two demon elders in front, her eyes flashing with anger and bewilderment.
She knew these two. They were her blood uncles and had peak five-star cultivation. Moreover, they were on the verge of breaking through to the king realm. Because of this, they held esteemed status in the tribe.
It was rumoured that they had partnered with Osmont’s maternal family to overthrow Orlan. So, it was expected they didn’t treat her well. But it was the first time they blatantly showed their killing intent toward her.
However, what really surprised and confused her was the fact that they tried to kill her here, where her father could easily see what was happening with a casual sweep of his consciousness. What gave them the courage?
Seeing Ashroth appear in front of them and question them, both demon elders revealed nasty expressions before the first demon sneered, “You must have gone blind. I was clearly trying to kill the human kid. Now, move away and let me kill him.”
Finish speaking, he once again released his aura. This time targeting Ashroth. However, before his aura could reach Ashroth, his expression changed, and he hurriedly retreated.
Boom!
The place where he previously stood exploded, dust and rubble flying about. Then Orlan’s voice, laced with killing intent, sounded out, “Try again and see if I don’t dare to kill you.”
The demon’s expression was incomparably ugly, and his heart was beating violently.
From the power behind the attack just now, he could tell if he hadn’t retreated in time, the attack would have crippled him and left him in a half-dead condition.
He forced a smile and said, “Haha, big brother misunderstood. I was just…”
Before he could finish, Orlan’s voice sounded once again, “This matter ends here. No one is allowed to touch this human.”
Hearing this, the demon shut his mouth, not daring to say anything.
After which, he and the second demon exchanged a glance and headed upstairs before leaving the hall. They weren’t in the mood to continue their cultivation.
Bang!
After arriving in a large villa, the demon that tried to attack Amara and Ashroth punched a stone table in anger, turning it into small pieces and shouted, “That arrogant bastard. How dare he threaten me?”
Seeing him rage, the second demon didn’t say anything. Walking to a sofa, he sat down, his expression grave.
After a while, he asked, “Did you notice he seemed to have become stronger than before?”
“Yeah. I noticed it. He must have used a lot of tribe’s resources to increase his strength since he knows his death is near.” The first demon sneered.
The other demon nodded and changed the topic, “Since we now know Orlan is very protective of Ashroth, things will be easy. Let’s inform them now.”
“Alright.” The first demon revealed a cruel smile and took out a communication crystal before sending a message.
Earlier, he had deliberately directed his killing intent toward Amara and Ashroth and attacked them. He wanted to see Orlan’s reaction.
…
After the two demon elders left, the first demon glanced at Max before returning to the blood pool.
Ashroth also glared at Max before looking at Amara and nodded. “It’s good you are here. The blood essence is quite rich right now. Let’s go and cultivate.”
“Yes, big brother.” Amara nodded and walked to the pool with him. Max silently followed them.
Just as he was about to enter the pool, Ashroth coldly said, “Stay out. You aren’t qualified to enter.”
When Amara heard this, she wanted to ask him to allow him, but Ashroth interrupted her, “Don’t bother. Enter the pool and start your cultivation.”
Hearing this, Amara could only give Max a helpless smile before entering the pool. After giving Max another glare, Ashroth also entered it and trudged toward the centre.
The blood pool had a radius of 25 meters. According to what Amara told him, the closer you go to the centre, the denser and purer the blood essence and energy. However, it wasn’t easy to walk to the centre because the closer one was to the centre, the more violent the demon energy became.
Additionally, there was a gravity formation which continuously put pressure on the people and the pressure only increased as one went closer to the pool’s centre.
It was rumoured that even the branch leader couldn’t cultivate in the centremost spot.
The demon elder, who was a peak five-star mage like those two, was sitting at the 18 meters mark and one could see him imperceptibly tremble every few seconds.
After entering, Amara could only walk to the 7-meter mark while Ashroth stopped at the 11-meter mark.
Seeing them close their eyes and suck in the cultivation state, Max whispered, “What now?”
[What do you mean what? Enter the pool.] System answered in a carefree voice.
The corner of Max’s lips twitched when he heard this and retorted, “When that guy found out I entered even when he told me not to, won’t he kill me?”
[Ai, kid. You need to have bigger balls if you want to survive and continue to become stronger.] The system sighed and in a disappointed tone.
“Fuck it. He probably won’t do anything to me since he knows I’m vital for Amara’s survival.” Max murmured before stepping into the pool.
Boom!
Immediately, he felt an overbearing energy enter and rage within his body.
